all linked to a source

justone · Post by **justone** » 29 Sep 2007 08:01

Anyone with an idea if it's possible to do an everyonediagram based upon a filter which defines a subset of individuals ?

For example 'everyone' linked to records which match surname 'xxxx' ?

Or 'everyone' linked to source '123' ?

I tried with a query links to source and then selected the result but then if I go to everyone I still get all records.

Perhaps someone got a more clever idea ?
Thanks in advance.

What you can do is to use a query find everyone not linked to a source by making a custom version of the Ind linked to source and changing it to select those where the number of links equal zero, then on the everyone diagram mark every one not linked using the new query.

Then select all the marked boxes (from the menu) and hide them.

I actually don't hide the ones not linked when I am looking at the data, rather just mark (highlight) the ones which do match what I am looking for.

That said though I don't use the everyone diagram as my data is far too large and I prefer to build up from the All Relations diagram.

Hi Jane, nice idea, what I wanted to do is the following. I got lots of individuals with an identical surname from the same small town, and what's missing in FH is some sort of a timeline diagram showing selected records below each other with the horizontal dimension being the timeline.

I do rememeber I once saw a program allowing to do so, but I can't remember it's name. And I dropped playing with the demo at the moment I stumbled across FH since it was far closer to what I rated and still rate the best solution.

Perhaps you got an idea which programs do allow such charts ?

The solution with the everyone diagram was only an idea on how to get this addressed. Would need to manually adjust the subtrees so that individuals belonging to one subtree sort of match the ones from another in terms of timeline. Pretty tricky task I know.

Anyone with another idea on how to get this solved ? Perhaps another idea would be to create a list with all endpoints, eg. individuals with no children aswell as individuals with no parents. But this would be a list not a chart.

Hmm ... got no clue yet ...

What you probably want is GeneLines, I use it for time lines. It's not too expensive and adds a few charts which FH does not do currently.

Hi Jane

I just checked out the website and I have ordered it, it looks as if it will help me fill a few gaps
