Bad handwriting, and lack of knowledge of (I Think ) Spanish, has made translation difficult.
Father (Page 124) and Son (Page 125) Died of Fractured Skull in Plane Crash 3rd July 1961
Any help with the rest of the details greatly appreciated

Peter, that is why I use today's date on the citation. To provide me with an "Audit Trail". When I look at an individual's Birth record for example, and can straight away see what dates that I got the relevant sources. Prime example would be if I got 1939 register over a year ago, it would be time t...

AS does not hold any data. It is just a "Front end" that edits the same Gedcom file as FH directly. This sounds like you are adding to a different copy of your Project/Gedcom file. If you use the Ancestral Sources Data Entry plugin whilst in your project, this ensures that your data will be entered ...

Use the Plugin called "Clone any record" to create a duplicate record.
Compare the 2 carefully, and then delete the appropriate records from each individual as required (I have to do this quite often)

Just a thought about the opening from the desktop. I haven't got FH on the computer I am on at the moment, so can't test it. If you double click on the icon, it should open the project window as is happening. If you open FH first and use Gedcom tasks... open gedcom, it should work. It is not somethi...

I am running W10 Pro OS Build 18363.778 64bit

Project folder is on Dropbox via a mapped drive.

Like others, I always research everyone as far back as I can (I have over 80,000 individuals in my file). From my own personal experience: My Father's Uncle Doug, died in Blackpool in 2004. I knew all about his father, but almost nothing about his Mother. I then found his mother's Parents which turn...

I was having problems on ONE of my computers only. I had reported this to Calico Pie (#859385) but they were unable to help then as it was completely random. I have now pointed them to this post as others are experiencing the same problems. I never use the internal browser. The program sometimes clo...

The UK uses both spellings depending on context.

In the US, use "license" for noun and verb.
In the UK, use "licence" for the noun, but use "license" for the verb.

If you use AS to enter a burial record it bypasses the Global (2) setting that Mike mentioned.

[Mike's comment: Yes, it is effectively using the All tab bypass effect by acting on the GEDCOM file directly.]

I Use [] for missing first name and for unknown maiden name I use married name in square brackets ie [Smith]

I got an error when I tried to start a new project using the file, but I could open it through gedcom tasks as a stand-alone gedcom.

There are 1641 pools (Several are only one person) in the file, so splitting by pool could also be done

All the USA Census put Surname first as well.

The Download Image link seems to have disappeared from FMP images as well.

I do hope that the forum users will be given (As previously) a chance to Beta test.

There are better free products such as: Heredis supports Witnessed/Shared Events, Media, but not UTF-8, also iOS and Android apps, but some limitations. All are supported by the Export Gedcom File Plugin. Mike Tate, Heredis 2019 does support UTF-8 I have a full version, and use it to connect to the...

Ron,
Would you plugin cover cases of two people in the same pool whose relationship cannot be shown by the built in tool? ie separated by more than one marriage

Just download and install, it's free.

If you have recorded the census as a census event, then the date checker in AS can do that for you.

See ancestralsources:tutorial:tools:census_flag_date_tools#census_date_check|> Ancestral Sources > Census Date Check.

You have a birth date of ??? BC hence the 3000 + age .

Personally, I would treat the Drouin Institute as a repository

I got the pl support message as well. Clicked OK. and the plugin ran after a few seconds.

I haven't actually used it yet. but it does look really useful.

I have Mozart Music Notation Software (Like Sibelius but better value in my opinion) Mozart is a One Man and his Wife operation. Yet the developer (Dave Weber) takes active part in the support Forum, and when service packs are released he produces a Bug Fix report on his website that lists exactly w...

I have just run the plugin, it took just over a minute to complete.
I have 38 plugins installed
