Family Historian User Group

Thank you for the additional information. I'll definitely consider using a shared Census fact rather than a shared Census (family) fact. And I've made no decisions about Family Residence, but I'll probably do the same for it.

He's looking into it.

Individual Census Reports do display Private Census Events if its Report > Options > Privacy tab unticks Hide all private facts. I never even noticed the options. I keep learning. It is possible to use the File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File... command and exclude all Private Facts before u...

I appreciate the thought you have put into this, but may be confused. I wonder if you intend to do that for EVERY household, I plan to start with ancestors and their children. If time permits I might do more. One method is to add a descriptive Note directly to the Census Events Adding a descriptive ...

I presume John Cardinal's ORA expects to use standard Census Events just like AS, so poses the same constraint. ORA can be configured for any setup desired. You create templates to tell it what to do. I mainly use it to pull in source data, but it can also be set up to input fact information. Both ...

Here is my thought process, and if it's not a good idea, let me know. I know it's not advised, but I like shared census facts. And census (family) for that matter. However, that leads to the problem that Look up Missing Census facts and Individual Census report does not work. I am hoping for the bes...

I am trying to change from the standard Census tag to one I created called Census (individual). It keeps throwing up warnings until I end up Ctrl-Alt-Del out rather than clicking Close Warning forever. I have ran Validate and it says no errors found. It does one individual then I get: Screenshot 202...

I ran all the database tools as soon as this came up. I've also run the database tools in Tom Holden's RMTrix which will sometimes catch things that RM misses. RM7 automatically syncs the source template with the sources/citations as soon as you change them. I used SQL Lite to examine (a copy of) th...

Thanks for looking. And that seems like a fine solution. Thanks

I have an appointment in a bit. When I get back would it help if I make a bigger gedcom and strip out the living? And then email it to you in case I miss something. For both #6 and #72 the fields are defined the same way. #72 In FH: <{Subject}, ><{Title}, ><{CreationDate}, |undated clipping, ><from ...

I seem to be quite forgetful today. I also got messages that it didn't like the NewspaperPlace and PubPlace for
Template Record: 6
Source Record 328

4th attachment

After I captured the message I totally forgot to keep running it. The good news is it finished with the Gedcom with only Raymond. However, when I ran it on the full gedcom I got the following:
See next reply for 4th attachment

It still crashes, with the error below. I may have noticed something else though. Let me make sure it has something to do with this. It involves 2 sources made from the !Ancestry Basic Images Template, name very similarly, and one source has the credit line filled, the other does not. It shouldn't m...

Wanted to give you what I have so far, but I'm continuing to look at a copy of my RM database. I've played around with SQL Lite and am going to look at the tables and see if I see anything odd. I've also tried greatly simplifying that template and so far haven't found anything that helped. I also tr...

Getting my morning started but saw this. I'll take a look in about an hour and post.

Thanks for sticking with me -

I'm very grateful you are doing this. It will save me (and many others) so much time.

do a very selective GEDCOM export from your RM database

I narrowed it down to one person who will generate the error. I played around a bit to see if I could isolate the cause, Looked at all his sources in RM, ran all the database tools, etc. So here is his gedcom. Hope it helps.

Actually, it's not going to help. I thought I had the ran the plugin against the new gedcom, but I didn't. I did it again, with the gedcom I sent, and it runs the whole way through. I should have some time this afternoon to make a Gedcom with no living and see if that one errors out.

do a very selective GEDCOM export from your RM database

Done and attached. These people are long gone. I did replace my personal info in the header with fake info. I ran it with the plugin and it does the same thing. Hope it helps.

What message do you get please? Once we know what is causing the problem, we can move on to why and fix it. Hope this helps. Keep reading after screenshot. screenshot 2.png The editor also shows this: screenshot 3.png Don't know if it helps, but I poked around in my RM database, and I think the onl...

Which built-in sources do you use please, so I can try to replicate your sources as closely as possible? I don't think this will help much. I switched to entirely custom templates a long time ago, because I always want to change something later. The only built in source I've actually used is Newspa...

Tested .3
As before it did fine with all my custom templates, but none of the built in ones came in.

Thanks for looking. As far as me personally, I almost never use the standard templates, so I'm happy with it just bringing in the custom templates. But if you are going to publish it in the store, others may make much more use of the standard templates.
