Another option would be to find a plugin author to write a Report plugin. I once was told by such an author that she was thinking about writing a Report Plugin. I wonder whatever became of that plugin author???? I've done one (a very simple one): Research Notes Report with Options but anything else...

Another option would be to find a plugin author to write a Report plugin.

I agree that some new Normal Time Frame options of say First and Last to position facts before or after all other time frames would offer a useful feature. Reports, in particular Narrative Reports, seem to handle such concepts. However, that would not allow such facts to be excluded from the Facts ...

Thanks, Mike. I was away from my PC and didn't trust my memory on the details.

There's an argument, I think, for a value of Normal Time Frame that sorts facts to the end, after Post-Death.

So you want the ability to move a set of Attributes ( using the Gedcom/ FH terminology but not all of them.

Have you considered using Sort Dates to move items to the bottom of the Facts tab?

Do you want to move all attributes? Including Residence and Occupation, which seem to me to be important in a individual's "timeline".

At the start of a DEA there are a couple of lines like: @Type: Source-driven Data Entry @Subtype: "Census Return" Modify the @Subtype line to read: @Subtype: "Census Return", "Census Return Alt" It's documented in the Source-Driven Data Entry Plugins section of the Help for Writing Plugins.

Some useful background at Private baptism in one church followed by baptism in another? (plus answers).

Start with the advice at Family Historian Copy and Migration Guide and come back to ask if anything is unclear.

Other than the built-in functions IsInList and HasNoteInList, I'm not sure there's any support for accessing Named Lists from a plugin; you may have to parse the text file.

Under Tools > Fact Types, select the fact you want to modify and choose Edit, and then Advanced... You'll see an option to tick 'Summary Template' which enable you to specify a custom Template for the Facts tab and elsewhere.

Closed as duplicate.

Firefox has a screen scraping plugin and there is also Outwit Hub. However, there may be fair use policies that you could breach by using screen scraping software.

I use Outwit Hub, but only at a pace that matches what I could do manually by selecting the text on a page and doing cut and paste.

Because reasons, I intend to embark on a research project tracking every individual named Mary Ann Harper (plus variants of the forename -- Mary, Ann, Mary Anne, Mary Annie etc) born between 1860 and 1870) based on birth/baptism/census records) from cradle to grave. My instincts say to use Excel (th...

I'm not talking about multiple RM files/Ancestry trees, if that was aimed at me, but a single dataset that excludes people flagged Private and Living plus people in specified Named List. In my case, the named list includes unnamed individuals for whom no other details are recorded -- the unknown par...

I like the concept though, so it should be possible to modify this to also exclude anybody not in a defined list (which could be kept up to date with a query). Would that be of any interest for a future update? I like the idea. I already have a Named List of 'Do NOT make Webpage' which I use to exc...

Just a heads up: Jane has modified the Wish List default view to show most recent items first, rather than the items with the highest score (many of which are seriously old). The option to re-sort by score etc. still exists.

Introducing more intuitive and productive methods does not automatically mean the old methods disappear, if you don’t want to adapt then you don’t have to. Oh, I know that. I was just pointing out one reason why, when what seem like obvious improvements are proposed, many users will not be interest...

Vyger, with your permission I'll contact you offlist to take your offer of help forward.

I welcomed the categorisation split in the General Usage forum but I do wonder why there is no category for Queries, the very topic which tops the Wish List, maybe just a miss on my part. As I said when I proposed the current set of sub-forums: I am not proposing sub-forums for 'Searching and Query...

Forgive my ignorance, what is the difference between a “birth registration” and other types of birth sources? It depends on whether you believe the registration event is worth recording in its own right. If you do then the registration detail supports a registration fact as well as birth fact. Othe...

Further to Helen’s reply. To add a Birth Regiration fact to an individual, with its corresponding dates, would mean actually purchasing the Birth certificate to see when the birth was registered. No, it doesn't. The index entry tell you that it was registered so could if you wished create the Regis...
