Mike Sorry gone down with a chest infection and anti-biotics seem to have knocked me for six Yep, well aware of the difference and I have taken you suggestion onboard and configured the columns of the family tab. Already have the individual one configured and something that I hadn't thought of Regards

Lorna Thanks for that but I well aware of which one to select Mike Thanks for the details and all makes sense now image of query columns attached only one filter - exclude if "%INDI.FAMS[1]>DIV[1]%" is null image of result attached So the question is how to add the details of the families rather tha...

Sorry for the delay but lifes a little hectic at present I have been doing some testing and I still belive that the defaul text reference is incorrect I created a query to re-extract all of the divorce records using the Family/events/divorce field not being empty and extracted the "family as spouse ...

Mike
I simply clicked on the list that comes up when you click on the configure columns!
Which would then give I assume the details from Calico Pie as it is part of the standard set
for the date that is - %FAM.DIV[1].DATE:YEAR%FAM.DIV.DATE:ABBREV2
for the place it is - FAM.DIV.PLAC
Regards

Still trying to tidy up my database after the import from TMG I created a named list comtining all those with a divorce entry I then added the columns for divorce date and divorce place However the columns are blank for everyone - see attached image I have tried removing the entry for the person on ...

Mike Thanks for the reply and apologies for the delay in replying Been without a PC for a couple of days whilst having some upgrades done to it The new 1.6.5 worked like a dream and did the lot in about 2 minutes I will have and read that other thread at some time before commenting further Regards J...

Mike Thanks for the efforts and the answer which is partly what I expected Happy for you to send the file to Calico Pie - have known Simon since version1 - Yep I was one on those that actually saw it prior to initial release Have used the plugin to sort out the duplicate entries - thank you. However...

Mike I doubt it is something as simple as running out of resources! Nothing obvious shows up when looking at it in Excel There are a couple of supplementary issues with the places but I will raise them as a separate issue after it is resolved as not related Thanks for the effort in advance No major ...

Mike
Have sent you the Gedcom as a zip file - still 6mb but better than the 42mb Gedcom

Regards
John

Mike
installed and ran 1.6.4

Still crashed FH

No pop-up screen but seemed to take longer to get there

as a waring the project as a whole is seems to have grown massively - is now nearly 400mb and there is no media

A lot seems to be snapshot files - not sure if I can just delete them

Mike
Running 1.6 - I would not have used ths thread otherwise

No progress bar appeared and FH just crashes

Happy to let you have copy of project if need be

Mike I have just tried using the "rearrange address place parts" plugin on my master database I had simply selected the "Shift all places left" and clicked the perform button The original database is from TMG and has the address incorporated with the place hence the 29,000 place mind there are 35,00...

Mike Yes I meant Place - having ported the database from TMG address and place are all in the same field and I don't intend to split them As you say would make sense for FH to merge the two when the revised file was re-opened So still the question as the why AS is not recognising the address in the ...

I was trying to add an entry for the 1911 census for a family but whilst the address was in the Family Historian database did not appear when I start to enter it in AS I have checked the address in FH and it appears to one of a small number that has a 0 in the use count. Obviously one that I had use...

Having had a good look at the offending entries it would appear that they all had a "use count" of zero and the vast majority had other entries So I took the plunge and deleted all the place with a 0 use count - happy bunny now Thanks Mike and next time I'll do some house keeping inbetween rather th...

OK Mike
I will have a tidy up and then try again
Does make sense

Thanks again

Regards
John

Mike
Happy to let you have a copy of the gedcom if it will help
Regards
John
ps Sorry been out with family all day

I moved some addresses into the first part of the place field using the place/address plugin which of course leaves spurious codes - well documented and even has a suggestion for removing them using the Search/Replace plugin I have tried that and even though the result says that it has done it when ...

Mike
Thanks for the link will sort that one when I do the import
Where can I find the list of submissions to Calico Pie to follow what is happening on this one

Have been through and checked both in FH7 and TMG and I only have one other event in TMG that does not convert I seem to remember reading either in FHUG or the mailing list that it is a known issue That is a Civil Partnership which took place in 2020 and is in fact has been a legal form of marriage ...

Mike
Thanks for the reply - I will check carefully through the fact that I am importing as to whether there is anything else - not aware of any that I can think of

A couple I would have changed manually and maybe even 100 but 3,500 is a little much!

Regards
John

I have just been going through for a final time before making the switch to FH7 from TMG I had been doing some tidying up using the “change any fact tag” plugin and wondered why it wasn’t appearing. I have a TMG tag which I created was a clone of the Marriage fact and for marriage registrations has ...

Both I think were actually there before 7.1.3 1939Register and census come to that If you enter a man who has been married twice it shows him as a W even though the second marriage was before the date of the census - not insurmountable as you can change it marriage record When entering a marriage po...

Mike Thanks for the comments and I certainly would not mix the two - been doing this for too long I take your point about the death event and it makes logical sense - really need to get my head back into FH mode instead of TMG I was going by the list of events and attributes in the version that I ha...

Mike I have just been looking at the Military fact set when I stumbled on this thread and have another to add to the list and posisbly a second The first is Army Lists These include where a section of the army was based and can often be useful in tracking down where someone is missing in a census ye...
