X Chromosomes are inherited in a distinctive pattern.  Here's an online article - notice the fan charts used to track the chromosome derivation, a different pattern for male than female subjects. http://www.thegeneticgenealogist.com/2008/12/21/unlocking-the-genealogical-secrets-of-the-x-chromosome/ ...

Thanks, Jane I may try to write a query myself.

Of course, TNG has a gendex utility, but it wants to index all trees, and I only want it to index one.

Anyone creating a gendex file from FH? Have you written a report or utility to do that? Willing to share?

Corollary question -

Anyone loading a TNG site from your FH database?

Thanks

Hallelujah!  It works, including the column filter for different name[smile] Details: I was running 5.0.0, so I upgraded.  That made my existing filters produce two prompts, both searching the list of individuals. Copying PeterR's code was non-trivial.  For whatever reason, I can cut-and-paste the e...

Sorry about the typo. Now have this in the subtitle =Individual(['Person']) and the filters are unchanged: Add if =FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST) is ['Person'] Add if =FactOwner(%FACT%,2,MALES_FIRST) is ['Person'] which printed this in the report: ,1,MALES_FIRST so, it appears to be attempting a fu...

Have you ever used a function in a subtitle? I'm starting to conclude that it's not an option?

tatewise said: Sorry, I did not check the type of parameter being used. PeterR is on the right track, but the Subtitle Function should be: =Individual() See the FH Help > Family Historian Help > Using Family Historian > Advanced Topics > Understanding Functions > Prompts and then follow link to Typ...

Thanks to both of you, will try these changes.

... I only intended to leave the name column if there was no way to avoid the double prompt to run the report.

... my next modification may involve suppressing information that repeats when I have facts for the same date...

PeterR said: There are two prompts because the first (for the Subtitle) needs a Text item, while the second needs a specific Record. If you change the expression for the Subtitle to:=Record() (or the prompt could still be 'Name' if you prefer) you can then input the relevant Individual RecordID whe...

You've actually tried this yourself?

I've retyped it. I've copied all facts and started over. I've cut and paste. I've deleted the field, moved my cursor off the field, tabbed back into it (so the whole field is highlighted) and started typing.

Not having any luck yet.

Still trying to display the name selected for my parameter into the title. My prompt has been simplified to 'Name' Add if =FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST) is ['Name'] On the General page, the Subtitle box is Custom and the box that follows is =Text(['Name']) Then the parameter prompt box has 2 promp...

You're right, that worked.  The discussion on page 158/159 of Getting Started made me think that BOTH conditions must be met to meet the inclusion!  


What about putting the parameter in the subtitle?

PeterR said: The Rows Filter needs two entries: Both have Condition: Add if... Expression1: =FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST) Expression2: =FactOwner(%FACT%,2,MALES_FIRST) Both have Operator: is Both have Parameter ticked and both have the same Label. http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/2012-08-03...

Also, I'd like to use an 'OR' operator for record selection (check parameter against both factowners):
=FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST) or =FactOwner(%FACT%,2,MALES_FIRST)

but it isn't accepting it.

What am I doing wrong?

OK, I'm exploring 'All Facts' and customizing it to search for facts related to a specific individual[smile] Found the query-results to CSV option [smile] And I've found the section on data references in the FH Help [smile] [question] but how can I put the parameter [that I prompted for in the query...

Jane said: I am not sure how you would list a place once, but still list all the Facts for it,  but you can use a Fact Query to list and sort by place easily enough. The result set from any query can be saved as a CSV file using the menu button or simply CTRL-A and CTRL-C to copy all the fields and...

Have a look at Creating a Query in the Knowledge Base.

Been there, read that; Saw the video; read chapter 14; did the exercises;

Still confused

I'm trying to build my first custom query, and I'm feeling challenged. This is a two part question. 1) I'd like to list all 'Place' fields, regardless of which event of attribute it occurred in, and be able to list it in just one column. -->> the only way I can figure out to come close would be to l...

I suspect you jumped into the In File Custom Fact Tutorial without working through the preceding Getting Started Tutorial and In File Associations Tutorial that set up the necessary conditions.

your assumption is not correct

I will be releasing an update to AS in the not too distant future that will handle occupations for dead parents in a better way than currently - either by not including the date at all or by allowing 'before' marriage date, or possibly before death date. Yes, I'll probably have to manually enter th...

If I manually change the sentence (i.e., the fact that was stored for the specific event) then I get a sentence that I like.

So, the problem appears to be my FH set up - any suggestions?

No go.  I'm still getting
He experienced Witness:  John Smith on 19 April 1825 in Hackney London

Here's my custom fact in FH:

If you've entered that into Family Historian then it certainly isn't go to work as those keywords only apply in Ancestral Sources. Perhaps you mean to have something like: {note} {date} which would display the contents of the custom event's local note followed by 'on 1 Mar 1800' (or whatever the da...

Please keep in mind that I still feel overwhelmed. Simple sentences and ideas are appreciated... By default Ancestral Sources just records the witness details in the local note of the marriage. Your comments suggest you've set up your own associated individual type to use a local event instead. Can ...

yes - I changed it to the above templates, and re-stored the marriage. Got another Fact entry, saying the same as it had before
