Thanks for that John - I was thinking about something similar myself, but then when I started looking further I found that, after a direct import, and although I thought FH had numbered the sources sequentially, I subsequently found a number of gaps in the numbering (eg a jump from Source ID 361 to ...

Thanks for the feedback Mike. I have though within Source Type definitions used separate fields (eg [HOUSEHOLD], [CENSUS ADDRESS], [REGISTRATION DISTRICT], etc) so each piece of data is stored / recorded separately within the source record. These Source Elements are in turn linked back to the Elemen...

I am continuing to review / update my TMG data after import in to FH (using the GEDCOM inport as I have found that to be the most "complete" so far). As I find / resolve issues, I am re-importing from TMG so slowly I am getting there (I will wait for V6 before I undertake a final import)! An issue I...

Thanks for the feedback / suggestions Mike - I'll carry on looking at different options / formats within FH (so far, I am generally liking what I see!), and will then try a project merge.

I have now gone a step further and tried a Gedcom import from the same TMG project. This resulted in FH recording the same Source ID as the TMG records, and also the same Repository ID as the TMG records (the original direct import renumbered Repository but as I don't have many I was not too worried...

Looking at the Sources Record List on FH, the "Record ID" field starts at 1 and runs on sequentially from there, whereas within TMG, the "Source #" (on my data) runs 1,2,3,4,7,8........ (the missing 5 and 6 representing Sources that I subsequently removed from TMG some years ago). I am assuming "Rec...

Sorry, should have said - the "S" in my file name was just my indicator to show it was a source record file. My TMG just uses the "standard" record identifier which is, on the face of it, numeric. My import was done using the recommended direct import method - I'm not a great fan of the Gedcom appro...

I have tried importing my TMG Project into FH and have seen some good results, but is (was) there a way to force FH to use the same Source ID as I have on the sources in TMG?. By way of explanation, I record the TMG Source ID on each piece of "source" paperwork in my filing system as well as also re...
