There has been some discussion regarding what happens after you've accepted or rejected the FMP hints shown in the Focus Window. When you accept or reject them all for a person, the ability to view the hints is removed from the focus window for that person unless you change the global settings, whic...

Thanks Mike,

I'll work my way through it and see how I get on.

I've now cured the Custom ID issue with much help from Mike. He also commented: "On inspecting your sample Gedcom, it exhibits some typical characteristics of an import from FTM. You will find that several Facts are 'missing' such as Address, Medical, Military, etc. So when the Custodian Ref. have b...

Success! More blanks than I thought, but not amongst the people I have actual paperwork for and none in my direct line, so that's OK.

Thanks Mike. What next?

Thanks again Mike, Yes, the plug in can overwrite what's already there in Custom ID. Ive found it now so I know where to look in future. I have absolutely no idea how they got there in the first place! Sorry about the fact name confusion. The details don't fit in the view width of the column and all...

Do you want the snippet from the actual gedcom or my imported FH database? I don't think I've opened a gedcom for ...

Just ran the plug in & got mixed results. Some individuals now have a Custom ID, most don't. All of them still have the original Custodian Reference in the Place field. There are quite a few individuals who didn't have a Custodian Reference to start with, so I wasn't expecting a complete list of Cus...

Many thanks Mike,

I've downloaded the plug-ins and will run them over the weekend. I'll let you know how I got on.

I imported a tree from Family Tree Maker. In that, I had created a custom fact in which I recorded a unique "Custodian Reference". Each person in the tree has a unique reference number which relates to a Custodian database I was using. Although I no longer use the Custodian database, I do use the re...
