Hi Forum I wish to create a GEDCOM file for upload into FindmyPast and Ancestry. I would like all Sources to be included in the GEDCOM file but wish to only allow certain Media to be included with the Source. IE, I want to include Census images but exclude BMD certificates and maybe some Individual ...

Thank you Mike

You are a star and relentless is your pursuit for perfection and helping us FH users.

Creeping I know. But thank you seriously.

Hi Mike Solved the issue with the Baptism. There were two Birth Facts one based on the Death Cert which contradicted the Birth Date based on the Baptism. Sorry for this I should have checked further. Re the HTML web page solution - that page does not have the possible birth place. Most Professional ...

Hi Mike

Re the Result set Query issue. The result set states it is a Standard Query, I wish to save it as Custom query if possible. For the reasons given.

David

Hi Mike

I have noticed that the result set includes individuals where the Baptism is known and has a precise date, but the birth date is calculated from the Baptism fact and well before 1837. I thought this was fixed in the first Plug-In adjustment you made?

See attached.

Hi Mike

I want to send the output to a professional researcher in MS Excel adding some notes where necessary to help her along.

David

Hi Mike No issues so far with the output, except that the searches don't yield what I want, but that's not your problem :D One observation - if you can help with this. The result set generated in FH cannot be saved as a custom query, so I can't add the known parents to the output. Can this be fixed ...

Thank you Mike

I will take a look today and come back with any findings.

Hi Mike

Very nice. Smart thinking. I hadn't got that far in my scenarios.

Hi Mike

That works a treat. Exactly what I was after. Thanks so much.

Hi Mike

Thank you very much. Sorry I have not come back with any criteria - just a bit busy with work issues right now.

David

Thank you Mike

I'll put together my thoughts.. And some examples.

David

Sorry - forgot to mention I do not fully understand how complex this could become as you say - handling double barrelled names etc.


David

Okay - I can see this isn't going anywhere...

My point was that it was then a User Choice to see these types of names in the Result. And can be turned on or off.

I'll stand down from this one.

Hi Mike Having had time to think on the single name issue. Can I respectfully put forward an opposing argument in that most of my ancestors are of Welsh origin and have very common names such as Evan Evans and Robert Roberts, many have surnames of Davies or Jones. So with the logic as it is the 'hit...

Hi Mike

Yes - I take your point, thanks for the reply.

And thanks again for the new plug-in. It whittled my search list for Births/Baptisms down from 190 records to 92.

David

Hi Mike That new version has solved the original problem reported - Thank You. A new observation if I may, and sorry for only mentioning it now.. The result set for Births and Deaths includes single named individuals. EG, Susan // therefore no surname or /Adams/ no first name. This sort of makes the...

Will do Mike

Thanks

David

Hi Mike

Okay - Thanks for the detailed explanation of the intended logic. Not that I fully follow it all.

David

Hi Mike

Also what if the Birth Citation (Baptism), is not the 1st Citation? FH does not sort Citations by date as you know.

I have examples where Census Citations are also supporting the Birth information. And if not ordered correctly they can come before the Baptism.

BR

David

Hi Mike

That sounds logical to me. One thought though - how to handle the fact that GRO references only started September Quarter 1837? So perhaps that should be the break point.

Or we just accept there could be extra 'hits' in the result set if we just take 1837 as a complete year.

Hi Forum I used this Plugin today (version 2) to successfully locate the baptism for an Ancestor. I used AS to enter the data into FH. This created a Birth record and a Baptism record. All Good Stuff. Problem is; if I run the Plugin again the same individual appears apparently still missing BMD info...

Thank you Mike

I'll take a look. Much appreciated.

Hi Forum

I have a Gaol Record for an ancestor dated 1848 from the Quarter Session of Ruardean, Herefordshire, England.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how best to record this? I can't find any pre-existing suitable Fact Type to help with this.

David

Hi Lorna

Yes - just figured that out. Silly me. Sorry.

Many thanks.
