Re: Syncronisation with popular genealogy sites (Ancestry; FMP)

Thanks to all who have replied. The main purpose of my original post was to make input to my tree easier. For the past year I have been tying out FTM to improve the speed of capturing the sources into my tree. This worked for a while, until Ancestry decided to remove all the DNA matches below 8 cM. ...

Syncronisation with popular genealogy sites (Ancestry; FMP)

I couldn’t find this in the current list or the archived lists, hence the addition here. I believe FH to be the best genealogy tool available today. However, it would benefit from having the capability of synchronising with sites like Ancestry; Find my Pas and FamilySearch, to name the most popular ...

Re: Tools or Tips for Patterns in Research Data

Have you looked at using Family Tree Analyser? It takes a gedcom file and has a multitude of options to look at the data. It’s also FREE and well worth investing some time to play around with, the author is also very receptive to suggestions for enhancements and quick to implement them. He added a s...

GEDCOM 5.5.5 maintenance release

I read with interest that GEDCOM 5.5.5 was released on 2 Oct 2019. Apologies if there is a thread already, all I could find was v 5.5.1 For me the interesting part is the summary that it is more a fix of gedcom for issues that have exited for over 20 years. Extract from press release: GEDCOM 5.5.5 i...

Census UK Property Box - addition request

@tatewise I really do like this property box, The reasons are due to the structure of each census Year (as opposed to CensusElectRole version) this makes it very easy to see which year one is missing for an individual. However two things I would like to see to improve it further: 1) inclusion of the...

Thanks mike, yes I realise reporting wasn't intended for that purpose,
but as the other thread was IIRC locked I didn't see another way to ask a question about the previous posts to qualify things.

Maybe your reply above should be in the locked thread, it may help others?
