* 1939 Register redaction

[jsphillips]

Since FMP has now Unredacted 80,000 more persons from the 1939 register I would like to have a plugin to do the following :-
To meet criteria of not unlocking those that are under 100 years from now ie born before 1919 but died since 1939.
As there are going to be releases from redaction over a period of time re above I would like to produce a "Qualifying List" to use as a check guide
Any help re plug in please

Try a combination of a Query to select qualifying Individuals and then the Lookup Missing Census Facts Plugin.

It should be quite easy to write a Query to list people born before 1919 or died after 1939 or whatever criteria.
The Result Set of Indiviudals can be added to a Named List via the Query Menu.
That Named List can be updated from time to time by running the Query again and again when needed.

Run the Lookup Missing Census Facts Plugin with the following settings:

• Choose the U.K. Census Records 1790 - 1939
• Tick both the Exclude any ... options to eliminate unwanted Census records
• Disable every lookup web site except FindMyPast U.K. : findmypast.co.uk
• Choose the Individuals to investigate : Anyone via the Select Records dialogue
• Tick the Exclude each person ... and Use their Facts ... options to eliminate unlikely people

Click Lookup Missing Census Facts button.
In the Select Records dialogue, on its Named Lists tab, choose the Named List from your Query.
Click >> Add All button and then OK.
(An alternative at this step is the Add using Query button at the bottom to run your Query, avoiding the Named List.)

The Plugin will then find Individuals in Named List who have missing Census Events.

In the resulting browser search page, click the findmypast.co.uk column header to bring 29 Sep 1939 Register to the top.
That should list every person who should not be redacted and has no 1939 Register Census event recorded.
Click on each 29 Sep 1939 Register link to automatically search the 1939 Register.

Try the attached Query.

It lists people who were born before and died after 29 Sep 1939.
It uses actual Birth/Baptism/Christening or Death/Burial/Cremation dates if they exist.
Otherwise it estimates the earliest Birth and latest Death dates based on the dates of relatives.
Your Tools > Preferences > Estimates can also be involved to establish Maximum Lifespan, etc.

Thank you Mike
Certainly Helps
Where Custom queries are written and accepted by Jane and yourself Is there a reason they cannot be added to the normal Plugins instead of the Custom queries

[tatewise]

I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

By "added to the normal Plugins" do you mean published in the Plugin Store on the Family Historian website?
The Plugin Store is exclusively for Plugins and not Queries that are a very different animal.
Likewise, the Tools > Plugins window is dedicated to Plugins and not Queries.

Plugins, custom Queries, custom Report Types, custom Diagram Types, custom Text Schemes, custom Fact Types, etc, are all different and each have their own exclusive store on your PC in C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian, and accessed via Tools > Plugins, View > Custom Queries, Publish > Custom Reports, View > Custom Diagram Types, and Tools > Fact Types, etc.

Many of those popular custom settings are in fhugdownloads:index|> Downloads and Links but the vast majority are so specific to the needs of each user that they only need exist in their PC.

Whoops Isorry
I meant surely Custom queries may be of use to others and could be added to a list for all to download if they wish
Sorry again
