Perfect! thank you that is what I was looking for -- similar to SQL I have seen.

Good Morning, Still relatively new to FH7 (and FH). I am looking for a query or report to output (preferably). I want a query view or report that will reverse order output by position. Similar to the Tools > Working with Data > Places > Place List (with reverse order), However the report only genera...

Awesome --- I should be able to play with that.
Still learning on when to use a fact vs individual query etc.

thank you!

Does adding a column =MediaCount() to the sources tab of the records window help? MEDIA COUNT for fact could work for me. I do NOT YET have sources. I wiped those out do to issues with FTM/ANCESTRY I have spent the past year+ rebuilding my tree from scratch in Roots Magic which has gone well. (NO S...

Are you interested in media linked to facts directly, or to sources? Long Story -- but due FTM , I wipe all my sources to start from scratch. My Goal later would be to add sources and citation based on the media that is attached to the fact: That said my current need is to know what Birth, Death. B...

I was look for an example of a query that show IF EXISTS media for a fact. Something like(not written for syntax) IF EXITS IND.BIRTH.MEDIA Mainly looking to find facts that are missing media (Birth, Death, Burial, Census) Also Marriage - but that may be slightly different because of not individual f...

I have been using RM8 Since it was preview edition. I ran both for a couple weeks before using RM8(Preview) entirely. Between 2004-2021 I used FTM. I was not used to RM7 so that was not an issue for me. I am glad I switched to RM when I did. However, what I am trying to do is to focus my research. W...

LeslieP, Have a look at this page of my website and tell me whether you like the way I have dealt with witnesses to Wills and with Associations: https://hulbert.one-name.net/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I4&tree=tree1 Nice Looking TNG site . If you were not aware TNG v14.0 came out about a month...

What I did in RM to prep before doing was to create a Custom Fact in RM. The FactType ID was 1038. Then I did a query so each person that had an FS ID would now have a custom fact so it should import when I go back DIRECT IMPORT in FH. Techincally, I should have checked for duplicates but I know I s...

I asked CP specifically how that field is intended to work in discussion of the various RM import defects that were fixed in the prototypes that came between FH 7.0.12 and FH 7.0.15, but they declined to answer. What is CP? Also, anything to avoid, and/or recommended for tags and name? _FSFTID _FSI...

Direct import is the recommended route. Have you seen Importing From RootsMagic and Importing to Family Historian (scroll down for the RM details) ? Thank you -- will review those. I probably have discovered many (most?) of those so far exploring the differences between two (or trying to). Kevin

@mark1834 but presumably you are aware that FH does not sync with FamilySearch in the way that RM does Sorry, yes I should I have mentioned I am aware that FH does not sync with Family Search. I guess I could write a script in RM and create a TAG/Fact before Direct Import (if I knew what tag to use)...

Hi I am testing FH right now. Plan to move to FH shortly but working on some housekeeping in RM before I do. With the test IMPORT from RM to FH. I notice that the Family Search ID's did not come across. That said I have some questions related to moving from RM to FH: Direct import vs GEDCOM pro/cons...

Hi Mike

Thanks for the links -- ISTRUE was basically what I was looking for. I figure there was a way to do what I was looking for.
I will further review the links you have provided.

Sorry I am new to FH and group. I did not see a specific area for Queries. I am familiar with queries for SQL / MySql / SQlite. My Question is where I can find examples of how to compare two date fields. Like if %INDI.BURI[1].DATE% <= %INDI.DEAT[1].DATE%. I would use this to filter rows. I would hav...
