Re: Source convert

Seems to be easily reproducible. All my sources are rich text and I was working through converting to make the individual links - I'm not sure if this is significant. I went back to a fully converted and linked source. It happens if complete cells are selected in the top grid and you then hit CTRL+C...

Witness name on a marriage

If I add a female witness to a marriage who is an individual in file and the witness was married at the time of the wedding, should it insert their married name in the auto text? I can edit it, but I wondered if this was something it ought to do.

Re: Project opening warning/notice

I use the File Description in the Header record to have a brief description of each project and have then modified the caption of all the property boxes to add " (%CUR_FILE_HEADER.NOTE2%)" to make it visible as much as possible.

Re: FH-RM-Ancestry Sync error

OK. I'll apply the change to the new version myself before I use it when you let it loose.

I've done a number of syncs to two different RM databases with that change without seeing any consequences.

Re: FH-RM-Ancestry Sync error

Odd! I'm using it with living individuals included without any issue.

I'd suggest it's not including living that is the issue, but something specific on one of the living individuals

Re: censuses - query with different values for an output column

I've just tried this and it's giving spurious errors. I've used Ancestral Sources to enter details from a 1948 electoral register which AS does using a census fact. FTA is saying 1948 isn't a supported census date.

Re: censuses - query with different values for an output column

I know that. I was referring to how Little.auk was reading the csv files created by saving queries. It would be very difficult (impossible?) to write a driver to allow updating GEDCOM files, but I wonder if it would be possible to create one that gave limited read only access? You'd have to have a w...

Re: censuses - query with different values for an output column

Excel can link to any column structured file for which you can define an ODBC link - CSV files are just a simple example. Most (all?) databases have ODBC drivers.

No, because if I am looking at 1C2R at some time in the future when I've forgotten all this, what is there to prompt me to look at the research note for the three possible descendants?

Re: Recording Ancestry ThruLines with unknown individuals

So without being able to verify the suggestion that Thrulines is presenting, how can you assert that the 2nd GGF is the MRCA between the two individuals? I agree with that. Even if I knew who OT and the other two linking individuals were it doesn't prove the 2xGGF is right. It only proves GGM and G...

Re: Recording Ancestry ThruLines with unknown individuals

I am generally selective in recording DNA matches anyway. I don't investigate or record every match that crops up, seeking mainly to record just those that corroborate (or disprove) my paper based and other research. That is my main motive as well, proving the ancestors. If as a result I find more ...

Re: Recording Ancestry ThruLines with unknown individuals

I have a rule of thumb - I trust people to know their own grandparents, but beyond that... And in this case, the 1C2R is OT's G-GF - one step beyond. I can relate to that. Yesterday I was puzzling over another match for some time. It should have been fairly easy as it suggested a 2nd or 3rd cousin....

What I should have added is that looking at the non-private parts of their tree they have the Great-grandaunt and 1st cousin 2x removed.

Thanks, that does the trick. I'd already reached the conclusion that, considering what the object of the query is, using EARLIEST and LATEST would be better.

Interesting! Why do you choose to use only explicit Birth Dates instead of Estimated, but do use Estimated Death Dates? Have you considered the following more compact function instead of the nested TextIf(...) function: CombineText( , %INDI.CENS[year=1841].AGE%, , " find " ) Also, by using DateAt(1...
