Sorry Mike I should have thought to reply with the outcome. Yes all fixed now - Gedstar Pro now handles the exported gedcom file perfectly. And FH when opening the exported gedcom file as a standalone gedcom no longer reports any errors found.

Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you Mike. Very much appreciated. Thanks for all your help with this issue.

Hi John. That did cross my mind but I think the Plugin only deletes ged files and media.
Perhaps Mike can clarify

Morning Mike
I have now sent you my Master Project Gedcom file by private email.

Hi Mike A few observations: When running the Export Gedcom Plugin for Gedstar Pro, With the 'Desktop' selected as the Export Folder. The Empty Export Folder option button causes the Plugin to freeze and then needs to be force closed. Can you reproduce that? I copied my Master Project Gedcom file fro...

Hi Mike
I tried to send you an email via your profile and hoping to attach my zipped master gedcom file. I wasn't able to attach anything before it was sent. Sorry.

Hi Mike It is possible Gedstar was referencing the wrong target folder for the Gedcom file previously. I have run a new test and it it now reports a different error line number. I have attached the screen shot of the Gedstar error and the FH Log File showing the list of encountered errors in the ged...

Hi Mike.
As an aside I also checked that the Gedstar Pro conversion also handled the FH Sample Project okay and it did so without error.

I'll make another test now checking the source Gedcom is the right one going into Gedstar Pro.

Thanks Mike.

Mike I opened the Exported Gedcom file using FH and viewed the Log Files. There are errors but none that reference line 127634. Can I please send you the Gedcom file? Which one would you prefer, the Gedcom file for the Project. Or the Gedcom file created via the Export Gedcom plugin? Thanks again fo...

Hi Mike Thanks for looking into this. Attached is a screen shot confirming Notepad stating that the line I highlighted is in fact line 127634. I'll do as you suggest and open the file and view the logs using FH. Back soon with results. @Adrian - thanks Adrian, checked and confirmed there is only one...

Hi Mike Yes correction it is the Gedstar Pro program > Convert Database button that leads to this problem. Here is an extract of data either side of the failing data line, the line in BOLD is the failing line number 127634. 2 NOTE Witness Role: Beneficiary [I1762] Frances MARTIN 3 CONT Witness Role:...

One for Mike if I may please... I have run the Export Gedcom File plugin (after updating to the latest version > 5.1), with the target being Gedstar Pro for Android I received an error, see attached image. I then tried resetting the plugin to defaults but the error persists. If I click okay on the e...

Thank you for this. Much appreciated.

It seems to work fine for what I'm used to seeing as a result. Thanks Mike.

Thanks for your help Mark.

Thank you Victor. As I suspected you are in fact IMPORTING your FH database into FTM. Each time you do this you are creating a NEW tree as far as FTM is concerned. So you have a number trees in FTM that if uploaded to Ancestry will create duplicate hints across the trees you have sitting in FTM. Whe...

Hi Victor I'm still confused how your work flow looks when you 'copy' your FH file to FTM. As there is no copy function in FTM, at least not that I'm aware of. Would you kindly list out the steps you take to handle this 'copy' process. EG, In FH... 1 I do this... EG, In FTM 1 In FTM choose Menu > Fi...

Thank you Mike. Nice job.

Just to say i changed the last test to service FMP only, the screen shot therefore only shows the FMP results.

Hi Mike Yes I have read the Help & Advice pages. Attached is a screenshot of the settings I have used. The second screenshot shows the result which does show hits for 1921 but no hyperlink. I setup to search three services: Ancestry.co.uk, Findmypast.co.uk and Familysearch.org. Using a sort on Censu...

Hi Mike sorry my first opportunity to reply. I ran the Plugin but it doesn't suggest any 1921 census results for quite a large group of individuals. I see you now have the link. Please let me know if I can help further.

Thank you.

@Mike Tate

Hi Mike does the current version 4.6 of this Plug-in include the search for potential 1921 UK Census records?

Thank you

Hi Victor
Thanks for the reply. I understand how you are using FTM now. You are creating a new tree with each new 'copy'. Whereas I'm trying to update one tree only.

Thanks again

Hi Victor Thank you for your reply. Can you please answer the following questions: 1) What version of FTM are you using? 2 ) If you are not using the FTM merge file feature how do you 'copy' your FH data into FTM. Do you copy the entire FH file or do you copy on an individual basis one person at a t...
