In some projects I can see a unique id in the all tab, but in the first project I looked at they've totally gone.

I've just opened a project using 7.0.20 and all of the UIDs used by the Ancestry Synchronisation plugin have disappeared.

Steve, If we've correctly identified the setting you are referring to, it is just the maximum number of generations that can displayed when looking at the Ancestors tab of the focus window (shown behind the Preferences in my screen shot). Double click any of the ancestors and you will see their earl...

I suspect he's referring to this: - I don't think it would be practical to have more hence the limit.

Character class %g is missing

%g represents all printable characters except space

How does this suggestion work for names like Ding Junhui where Ding is the family name and Junhui is his given name? If it's internationalised it should work for Chinese names!

At the moment the name would be entered as /Ding/ Junhui

Even free Android apps it nags you for a card when you try to download them (you can skip over that) - if you don't see that you've given them a card.

This works with the commas:
Replace GetLabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"Shared DNA:") with your existing expression (twice).

My query isn't the same, but this will show you how to do it. Wrap the code in bold red round the existing expression to do the conversion: = TextToNumber(Section( GetLabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"Shared DNA:") ,1," ")) You'd probably want to change the heading to Overlap (cM) Edit: Just realised this ...

My brother was at my Mother's hospital bed side when she died. Surely when adding the death certificate issued by the hospital adding my brother as a witness would be appropriate?

I suspect you are thinking of the Clean up Surname Capitalisation plugin which capitalises the 1st letter of every 'word' and converts all other letters to lowercase except for 4 special cases, which can only be extended by the user editing the plugin. I was. Maybe your suggestion is the basis for ...

For example, how should the plugin deal with these real Place names if only one variant exists in the data? Wilsford cum Lake, Salisbury Stow cum Quy, Cambridge Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester Marton Cum Grafton, York Should cum be capitalised or not? Should the name be hyphenated or not? The plugin...

Where there are multiples with different capitalisations you pick them up as Similarity. But singletons with dodgy capitalisation don't get reported.

East ham should be East Ham.

FH thinks they are two different places!

Mike, had you considered adding capitalisation validation?

Something else I'm helping with came a cropper because of a place like East ham, Essex, England.

Do you use FH/AS on more than one computer? If so does the file have folders for the other one?

I have 7.7.1 installed. Why I use Check for Updates it says "You already have the latest version of Ancestral Sources". Why isn't it offering an update to 7.7.2?

I think this is the file Nick means:

...\Family Historian Projects\Projectname\Projectname.fh_data\Plugin Data\Ancestral Sources.appdata\ASProjectOptions.xml

My question was a bit tongue in cheek. What I've done (and will continue to do) is enter it exactly as on the census. As a dated fact that is what was stated on that date. The only ones I do change are the abbreviations such as Ag. Lab. (a lot of my family are from Depwade area of Norfolk and from L...

What do you do for a daughter who is shown as "Unpaid domestic duties"? She isn't a housewife.

I've just modified my DNAMatch event to show the common ancestors in the Sentence getting them from the id numbers. This does have the advantage that when I add the DNA Match I can instantly see if I have added the correct numbers and means that they are visible without having to add the actual name...

Are you using AS 7.7.0 or 7.7.1?

I've changed to have two individuals instead of the couple as it works better for me. This is an example of the note I'm now using [[ Tested with: Ancestry Name on Test Site: xxxxxxxxx GedMatch Details Kit Id: GedMatch Name: Shared Ancestors Male: 329 Female: 60 Primary Link: 1 ]] [[ Match details S...

Although the shared couple code I gave does display the couple and from there you can open the property box, getting to the family in the focus window from there is more than one step. I'm thinking of changing to have Shared Ancestor 1 and Shared Ancestor 2, normally both would be entered but in the...

The connecting ancestor example I gave does display the name, you can click the column heading to sort and with one of the names highlighted you can click focus in the tool bar.
