All is well now, thanks, I can hear it......just got to keep trying to smash them all in one swipe now

Oh, nothing happens for me when I click on it

You can't turn the sound on or off, Bill, as they've been turned off by default

It did throw up a number of errors, Mike, although I haven't looked at them to see exactly what they are. I use the Export tool just to export a Gedcom so as to quickly update my website. Scrutinising date errors would be for a rainy day and not at the point of the website update.

Everything went through okay, Mike and I now have an exported Gedcom. I'll worry about the dates another day

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I have used the Show Project Statistics tool before to find invalid dates. There are quite a few that I'm aware of that are wrong. Some are easier to resolve than others and many are just sitting on the back burner until I can figure out what's gone wrong in my research

Thanks, Mike - to be honest, I find it all quite confusing when looking at the strategy :D I think I might have got the general gist though. I'm not fussed if a few facts are put out of sequence. It's not going to affect many people in the database and it's only on the exported Gedcom, so it's not s...

Thanks, Mike - I've attached a couple of error warnings (the second one appeared after I'd resolved the first error). 90/06/1913 was easy to solve. But I cannot find an error with the second date? The lady in question was born in September 1752 and she was christened on 6 Sep 1752.

Hi, With the new version of the plugin, I keep getting this error message when attempting to convert to Gedsite.It does not happen with all of my Gedcoms, just one, with German characters. Any ideas how to resolve it as it as it will not let me progress:- [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Hi...

Yes, that's not bad actually (I missed Helen's reply (sorry Helen)) although as Colin mentioned, some people might find the format a bit hard to follow. But I suppose for my purposes, it almost what I'd like. I don't think it's as good as the two examples that I posted earlier though; I can't quite ...

Yes, Mike, everything is out of the box with no special configurations

In this example, generated by 'The Complete Genealogy Reporter', we have a no nonsense and very easy to read descendants by generation report. No blocks of text, just nice and easy to read facts.

When I used to use Family Tree Maker, pre-2008, I used to be able to create nice and easy to read reports. I've attached an example. There was no special configuration, I just selected a report (ancestors or descendants) and hey presto, I got what I wanted. This is a very old report that I generated...

I was only really echoing what the original poster wrote, Bob. The responses have so far been varied if you look back. But I was just trying to make the point that this should be a basic feature rather than a 'power user' feature. This can easily be achieved at the click of a button in FTM whereas, ...

Yes, Bob, it does and I like that output. I would be very grateful if you could explain to me how to achieve that very same output in a 'Descendants by Generation' report.

I feel everybody's pain with regards to producing reports. Without jumping through more hoops than a dog at Crufts and feeling like I'm having to reprogramme the whole software, I've never been able to output anything like the attached. I've been using this software since 2009, and why Simon Orde ha...

I've experienced the same problem when importing Gedcoms created with other software. I've not noticeably suffered when deleting the additional fields.

Thanks, everybody; I created a query in the end to find the causes of death which I then deleted.

Hello, When using the tree splitter helper and then exporting a gedcom, I cannot seem to remove causes of death. I request that all notes and note fields are removed, and they are, except for causes of death. Oddly, when generating a website with Family Historian, causes of death are removed. I just...

....and the 'proof of the pudding' is here: http://mollekin.net/swintonrecord/g3/p2015.htm#i50373 ...displayed in a way that I'm more than happy with

Took a bit of time getting there mind

Well done with Gedsite, John; keep up the good work

My concern was that couples weren't appearing as couples. On my website, they were completely detached. This, through myself mentioning 'MARR' records, led to the discussion focusing on the specifics of marriage relationships. But all I wanted was for couples to appear as couples....which they do, i...

All I ever wanted, was for couples to be displayed and we seem to have got there in the end via:- "Person Entry > Family Sections > Edit Item > Spouses > All Spouses instead of Spouses with children." The MARR record discussion has taken me on a very long walk around the garden! The balance in the u...

John - I can see no reference to Therese from this page: http://mollekin.net/swintonrecord/g3/p2015.htm#i50373 But yet she appears in the Family Explorer.

Thanks, Mike, that all makes sense. In fifteen years of dealing with Gedcoms, I've never experienced anything like this, so it's thrown me a bit. Adrian; that is an interesting observation, one that I missed. So Gedsite is recording the relationship, just not making it visible in the actual person's...

I think if there are children, then the couple are automatically bonded together in the Gedcom, lol. But if they don't procreate, they have to go their own separate ways :D I suppose what I'm getting at, is, does most software automatically add a MARR record once you create a couple, or is it Family...
