sorry it's late, but I had to get internet back, then deal with 200 chickens, 2 dogs, and various other things. I have now done as you said, I belive to the Letter. As follows.
But think I misunderstood one thing? Re the Untick/Tick MOVE to Notes, thing, didnt seem to stop The address thing. BUt I suspect you meant me to leave the BOX unticked as I imported each of the SUB Geds ?? Whereas I read the notes slightly different. So I went back one stage, and Did the Import BEFORE I Ticked the box to go back to default.
Hope fully that gives the results you thought. As follows
TRY 2 step by Step (2ND ATTEMPT at try2)
SO Started a TRY two, deleted projects already in FH projects file in Documents.
1 Created a folder called Play 2, placed a new copy of the Whole Ged as sent in that folder.( named Latest Griffiths Family Ged)
2 Opened another FH project, ( can be any, so click FH icon and choose) and selected FH Sample. OPENED TOOLS>> PREF’s>> FILE LOAD/SAVE>> UNTICKED Move invalid data to note field ( remember to reset to default when finished)
3 FILE>> PROJECT WINDOW >> NEW PROJECT >> IMPORT A GEDCOM>> DIRECTED TO THE GEDCOM IN No1 above>>NEXT>>
NOTE the Choose Import File Box now seen has under the Gedcom File name box, a ticked box names ‘copy any linked multimedia files into the new project folder(recommended)
Mike, I LEFT this box ticked, as no mention in the instructions, and I assume as will be deleting the media stuff anyway its not an issue?
Continued, word wrapping was correct
4 THEN a Box on screen warning Imported Data contains 662 broken links to Ext Media Files Repair? Selected NO Then warns some issues logged see Log file on windows menu >> OK
FH created a NEW project in the project store named as the Ged in 1 above.
5 Looked in log files, and there are Two, 1st named ‘Process imported Gedcom Extensions on project’, and 2nd named ‘ Exception report for Gedcom import on project.
QUESTION MIKE, in case in the future I might want someone’s complete Ged rather than a line or two
The first folder holds items Like ADDR converted to RESI , MILT to Military , ALIA etc I assume these are corrections handled by FH built in plugins?
File two This holds quite a lot. As part of which follows. IF I needed sort these is that a manual process, or are there ways? I checked some of the items, like I.30 And I.37 and it appears to have moved the ADDR items listed into the NOTES field of each Fact. How would these be corrected easily, without having to know the coding to do so?
l.30 - INFO ONLY: Loaded uncategorised data (non-GEDCOM): "1 ADDR 17 Ash Grove"
l.31 - INFO ONLY: Loaded uncategorised data (non-GEDCOM): "2 DATE Bet. 1968–1978"

l.144 - INFO ONLY: Detected & fixed field format error (data moved to Note Field): "1 RESI Old Pike House"
6 Moved on to next item
Selected the person(s) whose lines I wished to export as a separate gedcom. USING the ALL RELATIVES diagram, I selected all I wanted to Export and placed them in 3 named Lists.
CALLED those lists
A DG FAM and Main Lines Only
B DG’s Cousin Susan Gladwin or McCarthy Line ALL
C Alan Hart Line From Lionel Levey
Use File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File command and Select... the branch of Individuals to export
(DONE USING NAMED LIST PERSONS) for each of the three above
Leave other settings at defaults except for setting Media Records: Exclude and click OK.
DONE
Save the exported GEDCOM files with a memorable sub-branch name.
THEN GEDCOMS EXPORTED with SAME name as named list. ( A-C above)
As follows
FILE>> EXPORT>> GEDCOM>> SET Media Records to exclude >> CHOSE named List, >>>ADDED ALL>> DID for all three A-C
QUESTION
7 Checked said Export has all the people I required in this Ged ( as there is a second variant I need, with more people in , hence the Questions in No 4 above). Because with more people in the split GED I assume there will be more errors to correct?
8 SO DONE PROPERLY following the next repeat paragraphs
Sub-branch GEDCOMs
1 Use File > Project Window > New Project > Import a GEDCOM file to import the GEDCOM file exported above.
2 Use Tools > Preferences > File Load/Save and tick Move invalid data into note fields where possible to return to default
(If you need to repeat the whole process then remember to untick that setting.) I suspect the Window > Log Files will only report exceptions for uncategorised data ~ please confirm. SO AS FOLLOWS
I ABSOLUTELY LEFT THE Move Invalid data to Notes Box UNTICKED for both the export of the three named list Geds I wanted to create from the Ancestry Main ged, as I did the export, and as I did the Import of the sub Geds,as Projects using the project window NEW project.
BUT no Log Files at all. So RAN UDF Plugin as requested for all three, and have the three files.
Have appended the main one.
Actually I did this whole part of the process twice, because I didn’t get any log files the first Export/Import as you said do, and believed I had messed up.. Which I hadn’t it seems? ( Bet you find something I did wrong
)
What next please?
Bill
