Is there a way to see the output file before sending it to Wordle to see if there is an issue with the file?

I have created my list using GedXlate and Excel and then just pasting it in and that worked fine so I suspect there is something odd in my Gedcom.

Jane

It is Firefox that says there is a security vulnerability in the toolkit that Wordle use not the local AV programme.

I have tried to run it and get this error message when I try more than 1 surname Any thoughts?

You need to be a bit more explicit with your question.

Do you mean in your Family Historian database or on-line or where?

Mike,

Wrong url for the new version Skydrive says it isn't there.

You can do this easily in FH.

Just go to Export > Gedcom and then select the individual you want, then tick the options that you want underneath and then click export.

You now have that one individual in a Gedcom file that you can import into an existing project or to create a new project from.

Jo You should just be able to send him the Gedcom file from your FH project folder. Don't forget that the Gedcom file will not include any images with it, it is just the data. The size of your tree will probably not be too big to email so you shouldn't need a stick. Alternatively just put it on Drop...

I recommend having a look at Heredis on the iPad. It is free and will import your FH Gedcom. I prefer it to both Gedview and Ancestry.

Valkrider What is wrong with upgrading to IOS7 ? I had a look at Onenote for iPad but found it a bit clunky to sync with the windows version. Also it looked as though it was only a trial version that I would have to purchase later. That and wanting it on Android as well, I didn't pursue it any furt...

I should take a look at Evernote, too. Any thoughts on the recent UI? Some of my friends who are longtime users are complaining about the most recent changes. I have just taken a look at Evernote and there is a real problem with it for me the iOS app requires iOS7 now and they aren't making the iOS...

Further to what Jane does. I add the date when I searched the relevant site. I then revisit the site later and check to see if additional records have been added and then update the date checked reference.

Craig,

If you want me to look at doing a bespoke / updating the web app for you email me a sample spreadsheet. I have recently done some custom ones for someone in Germany and another for some Dutch records.

Craig,

For my own and a few friends use I have written an Excel to Gedcom converter. The data must be in a certain order and there are template spreadsheets available to use. If it doesn't do quite what you want let me know and I may be able to tweak it for you.

Details here.

A couple of others that you may want to look at are Evidentia and Geves.

A couple of other things to look at: 1: Check out all the FH Plugins, there are a lot that are very useful like 'Look up missing Census Facts' and 'Find Duplicate Individuals' 2: Occasionally run the FH Gedcom through FT Analyzer http://ftanalyzer.codeplex.com/ 3: Check out some of the other on-line...

Don't forget that the 5.5 standard is about 14 years old, maybe even older. The 5.5.1 standard AFAIK is still only a draft and that is dated 2 October 1999!!

Rather than Gedview, get Heredis for the iPad it is free. I find it a better app than Gedview.

Mike Thanks I am glad that I haven't missed anything. I am concentrating on the England 1881 census input at the moment to LC I will worry about 1841 and 1911 later. This is the basic input screen. lc.jpg I will try and get the query sorted for this and come back if I can't, thanks for the offer. I ...

I have looked through the old posts about a Lost Cousins query / report and am still struggling to get a report that is suitable for transcribing direct into the LC site. Does one actually exist? Or shall I struggle on trying to create one? All my census details have been entered using Ancestral Sou...

Mike

The new version (1) didn't restore the buttons automatically. Once I did the reset though the buttons are full sized. Just FYI.

Mike

Thanks for the new version of the plugin, the options are great. It works well on my databases.

I too have the chopped off bottom buttons issue.

Gerry I couldn't get it running on Mountain Lion (probably my lack of knowledge about Wine) and so gave up and went with Virtual Box and a copy of Windows XP. I upgraded to Mavericks yesterday (mistake several bits of s/w don't run under Mavericks :cry: ) I am going to have another go next week to s...

Thanks Mike, I will give it another go when I get back home.

Peter

Can you share your Wine version of FH (my abilities with Wine I suspect rather than anything wrong with Wine on the Mac)? I haven't managed to get it working on my MAC the way you have. I have to run it using Virtual Box with a legit version of Windows XP.

Andy One way to do this is with a plain text editor. I use the free Notepad++. Just open the gedcom file and then do a search and replace. Notepad++ understands Regex and you can programme it using a Regex statement to only change the events you want to CENS from EVEN. Do this on a copy of your Gedo...

The other thing that you can do in most current browsers is to press the Ctrl key and + it will make the font larger Ctrl key and - will make it smaller Ctrl key and 0 will revert to the website defaults. This works with Internet Explorer. Personally I use Firefox but this trick may allay some of y...
