Thanks Mike

Worked great, no errors when exporting the old project.
Thank you for all your hard work.

okay, here is the info after doing a revert: Error(s): Line 107438: error 1 : Invalid level number. Line ignored. Line 144758: error 1 : Invalid level number. Line ignored.

Hi Mike: I believe it said Error 1 and then gave the line number(s). I 'fixed' it by going to the line number specified, saw the ancestor and text involved, went into FH7, deleted the extra text and it exported/imported into FTM with no errors. So I thought I would reverse the process to get the err...

Thanks again. The export process did give a couple of errors but still copied the URL's just fine. I went into the gedcom and compared the line numbers given for the errors to see what they were. On a couple of the citation notes (out of thousands with links) I had put a sentence or two of text. The...

Mike !!!!!! Your amazing!!!! Thank you so much! The change worked perfect. Now it will be very easy to export a gedcom every few months and upload to Ancestry with all the links, attachments and everything in place. The links, citations, everything show up perfect on Ancestry! Thank you very much! M...

Thank you for your time Mike, I appreciate it.

I'm trying to run the "Find Duplicate Citations" plugin and I get the following error. Any idea what the error message means?


Thanks,

Hi Mike: 1. Anything that is added to a "Text From Source" box when exported to FTM will get uploaded to Ancestry.com. So if I copy the link to the Text From Source box, it will get uploaded when synced to Ancestry. If I export the gedcom to import port it into FTM (I only use FTM so all the media w...

Mike: Just got an email back from FTM chat. The engineers said that the citations notes are the same thing as the "Reference Notes" and so are not synced. She said there is a bug that FTM shows it needs to sync after a citation note is updated (even though it won't sync citation notes). I added the ...

Hi Mike: I agree that reversing the action of the Move Note URL to Rich Text Web Link may be the only way to go. I tried removing the "weblink" part of the URL and it doesn't get uploaded. In fact it appears that nothing gets uploaded that is in the notes section of the citation. Here is a pic of th...

Hi Folks: I am using the latest version of FH 7. A while back I imported my FTM 2019 database into FH 7 and with the help of Mike Tate was able to move all the weblinks that I have in FTM 2019 into the notes section for each citation in FH7 like below: https://ibb.co/0KWQ4FV My question now is, is t...

I thought I would add a comment... If someone has the choice between using RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker to download their Ancestry Tree, I'd suggest using FTM if they have added a significant amount of citations or facts that have been added online at Ancestry. FTM I discovered will rename media...

Thank you Mike, that worked perfect! I really do appreciate how helpful you are. On a side note, folks do listen to what you say. When I was first trying to get help to have the URL's included in FH 7 you said: "I presume you know that those URL will only work if you are signed in to Ancestry with y...

Hi Mike: I tried looking at the code for the (wonderful) plugin you made a month or so ago. I looked at the code in the plugin to see if I could edit it but couldn't figure it out. If you have time I would appreciate maybe a short explanation how I could tweak it? So I now have over 10,000 links and...

Hi Folks:

I'm currently using FH 7. I'm considering getting Clooz 3. Is anyone here using Clooz 3 with FH 7 and if so are there any issues I would need to be aware of with importing/exporting? Since FH7 and Ancestral Sources work so good together would Clooz be of an added benefit?

Hi Folks: I'm trying to clean up duplicate media after importing from FTM. I ran the "Check for Possible Duplicate Media" and went through the process of merging about 130 or so pairs (meaning I believe that there should be 130 or so less media in the folder after running the other plugin "Check for...

Hi PP: This may not be of much help to you now, but might be for folks in the future that read this thread. As Mike said, your drive will not boot in another laptop (different motherboard, drivers, etc). There might be another way to boot it but it would depend on if you have access to a computer th...

Thank you Mike for all your work. That works good for me I appreciate it!

Matthew

Thanks Peter for the followup. I was able to update earlier this morning by finding my email when I had registered version 7. Version wise, I'm at the latest

Ah... that is helpful. I've been checking FH 7 manually almost every day for updates from the menu. I get this pop-up that says it is up to date (even though in the about section it was saying 7.0.1 I had just figured it wasn't displaying the number after the period): https://progresswithchess.org/F...

For me, exporting using FTM 2019, none of my links (and there are a couple of dozen total) for this example person get imported (not into notes, no where). They are all changed from _LINK to LINK and are just left out of the import. In case it's helpful, here is the actual FH 7 ged file from the pro...

yes, thank you, I appreciate your work

Hi Mike: I'm a little dense I guess. I know how to do a search and replace of a single word(s) no problem. Is there a certain program I should use the will allow me to replace the _LINK wit the DATA and then have the TEXT... on the next line? Also since each url ends on a different letter/character,...

Hi Mike: Thank you for looking into this for me. Here are some examples of the links. This is for one person. I have also exported a gedcom with this person so you get the whole record. https://progresswithchess.org/Main Tree_Link_Examples.ged NAME Jasper Floyd /Bolyard/ 2 SOUR @S5@ 3 _LINK https://...

Hi Mike: I have looked more closely at the exported Gedcom files. In fact I exported it as "Other", and also as a Gedcome meant for FTM 2012 and a different one for FTM 2016. My thought was that if it was some kind of FTM custom tag it would at least be in the FTM 2016 Gedcom. Sadly, its not. When t...
