Family Historian User Group

I am looking forward to being able to save all my data and use FH6 even better than FTM. I continue to find missing data but with old files able to correct FH6 as I also correct carry-over errors, but not missing data, from early FTM input errors. I have 2 databases for my family history effort. The...

Looks like it's a good thing the UDF problem appears to be solved as it appears your patience has drawn thin - but I do thank you and appreciate your help as I have tried to express previously. Of course I understood clearly and tried hard to follow your instructions. I did clearly state previously ...

I re-searched the GEDCOM with same results but tried the plug-in again although I had specified the correct options I failed to click the open space for the UDF tags! Doing so opened the list of tags I could not find. Also by doing so, I learned the spelling for the GEDCOM entries which were quite d...

There is only one existing Fact similar to the ones you mentioned - Elected or appointed and it does not appear in the UDF report for the 1st few individuals I knew had the fact and it appears to process correctly in FH6 properties. The FH6 GEDCOM does contain 3 of the Facts you mentioned and they d...

Thanks Mike - I missed your response re GEDCOM processing at RootsWeb - please accept my apology for saying I did not get a response. I am at a loss why the changes in the GEDCOM after being imported to FH6 from FTM are now a problem explaining why good CONC lines remain in the UDF report. Other tha...

I've been working the CONC problem after your update with good success which I will mention later. 1st, I will try to be more specific to help you understand my actions as I did try to explain the "smaller gedcom" effort before you updated your plug-in with this: "1st, the CONC plug-in locks-up FH6!...

As I mentioned earlier, the plug-in froze in my main GEDCOM and then, considering size might have been the problem, I tried it a 2nd time on the smaller file with only 76 UDF entries. You now can understand why I am so concerned about my data problems since I am committed to FH6. I did not loose dat...

Too big to attach here - limited to 256kb. File has almost 100k persons. Download the Zip file from http://chesebro.net/download.shtml and let me know when you do so I can delete it from online.

Mike, The farther I go the more behind I get :( 1st, the CONC plug-in locks-up FH6! I tried it on a small, non-FH6 GEDCOM and, as expected, it ran and found no UDF files. I opened the same GEDCOM in FH6, compiled an UDF report of about 75 records, tried the plug-in again and again the FH6 app locked...

I did use the recommended plug-in. I look forward to more helpful Plug-in Help. I have been quite disappointed in FH6 Help files so far and hope your plug-in notes are better. I will review the UDF report or rerun the search for UDFs to ensure the _MILT problem is no longer recorded. Your Export Ged...

One more question! How do I save, in FH6 for later opening individual records, the Results Log the changes? Help only briefly tells how to view or delete "Logs" but nothing about saving. I did save a .csv file but my work would be a lot easier correcting the Place errors using the Log File.

I understand your argument re standards but re who accepts what goes to not Ancestry as the 'culprit' but to others way before they started processing submitters GEDCOMs. Banner Blue, the original developer of FTM is the only GEDCOM producing application I ever used, beginning with v3, and they, bac...

Thanks Mike - I will try the process you suggested and update this thread. BTW if I understand you saying Ancestry does not support _MILT as entered in my GEDCOM hoisted by Ancestry, please note I posted confirmation that is does: http://person.ancestry.com/tree/52222197/person/13320954397/facts new...

Thanks for the response although too much of it may be too technical for me to understand, especially the "why". Even more problematic, I see no way to assign some of the criteria you mention. I can easily create a custom Fact with the needed attributes, e.g., value, place, date, note & etc. for fut...
