Hi Nick, I guess if there isn't an easy way to key off the fact that there is not a space after a comma column separator, but there would be one after a comma in a heading title, then I would probably have to consider just continuing the way I have been without using the grids. I have about 500 or 6...

Nick, Here is my source text: Name,Relationship,Sex,Color,Age,Marital Condition,Years married,Children Born,Children Living,Birthplace,Father Birthplace,Mother Birthplace,Year of immigration,Naturalization,Speak English,Occupation,Industry, business or establishment,Employ Status,Unemployed,Weeks un...

Nick, If the census template has a column heading defined which has a comma in it, then the grid created by the conversion ends up with two columns instead one. All the data in the columns after that point for all individuals in the grid ends up in the wrong column. For example, in the 1910 USA cens...

As I recall there was a period of time when the "native" geocoder was having problems geocoding just about anything, but that was a few years ago. It has worked pretty well for me for quite awhile now.

Bill

Interesting Bill - though I have to say that you have the county written the word "County" included. That might help persuade the geocoder where things are. I have quite a few places in these formats: ,, Washington, USA ,,, Country Name or abbreviation etc. and I haven't had any problems with them ...

Trent, I'm not sure what is happening for you, but I have no problems geocoding with country abbreviations and with leading commas. I have 3240 places in my file and never run into any problems with country abbreviations or leading commas. For example: Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, USA geoc...

What I do is to expand the family entry in the records window by clicking on the "+". This reveals the husband's name and the wife's name. Click on one of these and then click on the focus icon which will display them in the focus window.

Bill

Don't I feel a little embarrassed. :oops: The case I was looking at was a private note that included marriage and divorce dates and places. I had created this a long time ago and then later when I had found sources I had added a marriage fact and a divorce fact. It was those facts that were appearin...

Mike, I have some notes on Individuals that are included in [[ ]]. These are not shared notes. They are appearing in reports despite the fact that I have not ticked the option to include them. My recollection is that they did not appear in reports previously. That is why I suggested it be reported a...

I created an obituary fact but excluded the sentences [[ ]] thinking that it would keep them off the reports. It doesn't. How do I? I believe the settings you have should prevent private notes from being included in the report. I can reproduce this problem. This should be reported to Calico Pie, ht...

It sounds like you are referring to the Individual tab of the Records window. To add a column for spouse name, you can do the following. Right click anywhere on the column headings, select Configure Columns. in the left pane go to the bottom of the list and select <Other...>, add it to the right pan...

This sounds like a question for MyHeritage. Their user group is located at https://www.facebook.com/groups/myheritageusersgroup/.

Once you get the image downloaded it can be entered in AS in the same manner as the ones from Ancestry.com.

In the main menu go to View and make sure Navigation Bar is selected.

FYI

Calico PIe has replied:

"Thank you for reporting this issue. We have now confirmed that it is a bug. It will be fixed in the next update. I have made a note to contact you when the new update is available."

However, when saving as PDF I don't think it runs OCR to make the PDF searchable. Andrew, You are correct. It does not. And I misspoke. I meant to say that after creating the PDF in IrfanView, I used the OCR option in PDF XChange Editor to create a searchable PDF. Sorry for any confusion. Bill

What I was trying to convey was that if FamilySearch commits to scanning, indexing and publishing the 1950 for free as far as the US Government is concerned, then this sets constraints on what a commercial operation (such as Ancestry or MyHeritage or...?) is going to be able to do. They're unlikely...

Probably because the Church of Latter Day Saints gets in there first. If they weren't going to do it but leaving it to the commercial web-sites, I doubt that the rest of the stuff would be as cheap. Just as clarification Ancestry.com isn't now and has never been owned by the Church of Jesus Christ ...

Helen,

Thanks for verifying the issue.

I opened a ticket at Calico Pie.

Bill

In case anyone is interested. I set the options as described by PyreneesPirate and I also can now combine multiple PDFs into one. The pages seem to be images as described by Mike so they can not be searched. However, if I then use the OCR function of IrfanView the result is searchable and the text c...

Years ago I added a field on the Main tab in the area for shared details for the marriage address. It has always worked fine. I went into the definition for that field today because I wanted to change the Label on the field. When I tried to save I got the following. image2.jpg The field is define li...

Colin,

Thanks for the link. I've never actually had the need to combine PDFs before, but I'll keep this if it ever happens.

Bill

I am not really concerned that it doesn't work for me. As I mentioned, I had never used IrfanView to try to combine PDFs in the past and don't think I'll ever do that in the future. With Mike's warning about the resulting pages being just images, there is even less likelihood that I would do that. T...

I am using the 64 bit version of IrfanView 4.60 and version 4.58 of PDF.DLL. Since I have never used IrfanView on PDF files, I had never installed GhostScript. I just installed the 32 bit version of GhostScript and restarted IrfanView and I get the same error. For my testing I am using the Whats New...

Lorna,

Are you using Options > Multipage Images > Create Multipage PDF?

If I use these and then select Add Images and add two PDF files to the selection and then click on Create PDF Image, I get:

Error! Can't load: filename.

Are you using different options?

Bill

Lorna,

Using FH 7.0.14.1, I just created a Descendants by Generation report which is unmodified by me and I get no headers and no footers at all.
