* FH-RM-Ancestry Sync error

[gapperly]

It seems to be a problem with the gedcom. It ran against an different FH project with no error. I have no idea what to look for.

Sorry about that Gerald. Does the same RM file work correctly with the old FHUG plugin?

The error is in the code that reads the RM parent-child relationships, suggesting there is something there it doesn't like.

[Mark1834]

OK, thanks. I'll experiment on a test project to see if I can duplicate the error.

Would the RM version be relevant?

[gapperly]

Yes, the old plugin gave the same error. The last time I used it successfully was in September. I have since deleted the old plugin.

[gapperly]

The RootsMagic version is 7.7.0.0

I think the problem is the RM file not the FH file. I have 2 projects, FHA and FHB, and two corresponding RM files, RMA and RMB. I can run "Compare" of either FH file against RMB with no error. Running either FH file against RMA gives the same error.

To absolutely confirm you could create a new FH project with only a single individual that won't match anyone in the RM database with minimal facts and try the problem RM database against that.

Have you tried running any of the RM repair routines?

[Mark1834]

The error seems to suggest that RM has somebody defined as a child in a family who is not listed as an individual, which seems odd.

I’ve sent Gerald a private message with a couple of suggestions for diagnosing.

[gapperly]

Resolved. I ran the four items available in RM under File>Database tools... I don't know which one did the trick, or what the issue was ( I probably should have run them one at a time, oh well). Thanks for your support.
