Here are the results of a number of tests following Mark's suggestions. All tests were made using the Sample Project, one As Is and another after firstly running the Sample Project Reset feature from the Project Window. I then copied the Sample Project from the FH Sample Project Folder and pasted th...

Hi Victor, thanks for joining the post. When you say you copy to FTM do you create a new FTM project each time or do you in fact use the Merge > File feature that I'm having issues with?

I will also test the three scenarios Mark mentions in his last post.

Thanks all for participating in this issue, much appreciated. Mark has nailed what appears to be the problem everything I have done to cause this has been internal to FH. I am not returning gedcom files from FTM to FH. The suggestion to test with the Sample file is a good one to try to narrow down w...

Here are two screen shots of the before and after import of the Gedcom. Showing the Family links to children removed.

I forgot to mention that using the Match Threshold of both Min and Max does not significantly reduce the number of 'new' individuals suggested in FTM.

Um, not quite sure what is happening here. I imported the GEDCOM i had created for use in FTM into FH as a first step to evaluating what FH would make of the file Merge process. This first step went through the validation process and produced two log files (see attached). Looking more closely at the...

Thank you both for your comments. @Mike - the records marked as review are Surname only individuals with a sequential ID number. I create these Individuals where a 1911 Census reports number of children born and died. If I cannot account for difference by real named persons I create a surname only i...

Hi All I have tried the FTM2019 Facebook Group to answer this and reported my issue to Mckiev. No joy. I'm hoping someone here does the same as I'm trying to do and has an answer to my issue. When I export a GEDCOM file for my FH7 database into FTM2019 (with latest update) all goes well and people c...

Thank you everyone for the very kind solutions provided; along with advice and clarification.

Very helpful indeed.

Hi All I would like to export my FH7 tree into Family Tree Maker 2019 and then Sync with Ancestry. In doing so I would like to privatise (remove) media for Sources that are UK-GRO related, meaning the Source has a image of the Death, Birth or Marriage Certificate. I do not want these images to be im...

Replying to Trevors comment about copy paste. In the current AS version this still needs to be actioned for each individual Place Field. I did request something similar to Nick some time ago. Whereby you copy the first Place entry and then AS allows you to select multiple Place fields in one go to p...

You're Welcome Paul.

Does the FH > Window > Refresh tool not help?

Hi Mike Sincere apologies, I have only just stumbled on your last question in this post. Here is the new laptop windows info for win 11. Unfortunately I can't get the info for 1in 10 for the old laptop. Edition Windows 11 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎03/‎03/‎2022 OS build 22000.593 Experience Win...

Here it is...

Thank you Mike, yes strange indeed.

That update solved the problem.

Yes - I did have the enable diagnostics option set before I found out it is unnecessary in normal use. So it was that causing the Windows Command screen to appear. Okay understood. Disabling Norton makes no difference. Norton 360 Deluxe was on both old and new laptops. Unfortunately - I don't have t...

Hi Neil - Thanks a better take on my version. One problem though, the 1921 Age field is not wide enough to support ages such as 53 yrs 10 mns . This maybe a font issue but I'm not sure. I have fixed this already if you are happy for me to post the updated UK CENSUS TAB in this thread or you can make...

I have started to make use of the Internet Data Matching feature for Findmypast with settings Default (New), this being the Accept/Reject Findmypast hints. If I accept hints I have to refresh the Individuals Internet Data Matches to have the Hint counter update or disappear altogether if I have acce...

Yes it does look to be arbitrary, different files selected on each run. The Keep New Backup Folder option doesn't make any difference. New files are thrown up after each new run regardless of using Keep New Backup Folder or Keep All New Files. If I click the X in the top right corner of the Warning ...

Hi Mike

I am not aware of any other applications working with those emf files. I had to enable the folder view before I could even see them.

I ran the Plug-In again now and it threw up another file as an issue. See attached. If I click Keep All New files the Plug-In completes.

Hi Mike I periodically run a Backup of settings using your Plug-In. I have tweaked a few things differently on this new laptop in the FH preferences and other minor changes such as customisations these being mostly cosmetic. I also run your Plug-In when I introduce a new Query or Plug-In as I did to...

@Mike Tate Mike can you please help me understand this warning message. The dates reported for the FH Settings Path appear to be ancient > 1970 and more confusing the New Backup Folder path date states 2019? This is a New Laptop and I did experience some issues installing FH7 so I'm a bit lost as to...

Mike I'm guessing Mark is referring to how to Install the Custom Tab and set its position amongst the Tabs already in use.
That may not be obvious to some users.
