Re: Linking 1st Cousins that Marry

Strictly speaking an aunt has to be a sister of one of your parents, and an uncle has to be a brother of one of your parents. The FH terminology is strictly correct, although different from everyday usage.

Re: Individual Summary Report - Modifying Layout

It seems to me that the 2nd column can contain Notes as well as Addresses, in addition to Dates, and that the 3rd column can contain Attribute Values (e.g. Occupations) as well as Places.

Re: Associated People

Retrieving the list of associates would be easy if they were all linked to the same Source; this would also have the advantage that the Source (or another record linked to it) would explain the connection between them. Otherwise, you would have to enter the Associated-Person link twice, once in each...

Re: How to find the oldest families

In any one family line, the oldest family is the one where neither husband nor wife has an ancestor (even if you don't know any of the dates). Does this help at all as a starting point?

Re: How to not mark the deceased without dates as living

If TNG needs a Death Event (even with no other data) rather than the absence of a " Living " Flag, to avoid exclusion as if living then, as discussed above, such Death Event s can be added in FH . If the relevant Individuals can be identified (e.g. born before 19nn) than the process could ...

Re: How to not mark the deceased without dates as living

So your primary objective, which was to prevent individuals from being treated as "Living", is achieved by exporting a GEDCOM from FH which contains " 1 DEAT Y ", i.e. a Death Event with no other data, easily achieved and maintained in FH . What we don't know is what in a GEDCOM ...

Re: How to not mark the deceased without dates as living

I never suggested using Notepad to create "1 DEAT Y". Entering a date phrase such as "Y" (with the quotes) will result in the following in the GEDCOM 1 DEAT 2 DATE (Y) and I don't know what TNG would make of that. As suggested earlier you can create the desired " 1 DEAT Y&qu...

Re: How to not mark the deceased without dates as living

I don't know the details of how TNG imports a GEDCOM file, but it must be able to handle the valid GEDCOM "1 DEAT Y" which is what you will get in FH's GEDCOM if you do as I suggested above. You certainly cannot input "Y" into a death date in FH.

You can get "1 DEAT Y" into the GEDCOM by adding Death using the All tab of the Property Box.

Thee is a Plugin called Clone Any Record (which I wrote over 5 years ago); it should be suitable for this purpose. Obviously take a backup first in case anything goes wrong.

Re: Plugin Help

The original is clearer if posted as CODE:

Code: Select all

str=string.gsub(str,'"','')
In other words:
2nd parameter is two primes ' enclosing one string quote " i.e. '"'
3rd parameter is just two primes ' i.e. ''

Re: Death certificate

Thus the Informant is NOT a Witness to the Birth/Death itself (unlike a Marriage Witness ). Of course I agree with the above, but there may need to be a distinction between the possibly dozens of people who witness the marriage ceremony itself, and the (usually) two Witnesses who sign the marriage ...
