Re: Option to not create an image cache

Thanks for this. I have the very issue ADSL broadband and a 1.35gb cache file which I have to remember to delete each time I use FH.

Re: Unmarried couples in narrative reports.

In such situations (and there are a few) I've used the marriage fact but changed the sentence to say they had a relationship and included known dates (aka if there are children then either side of the first and last children). I tend to prefer it to using the default wording of unmarried couple. I a...

Re: 1921 England Census

I have a few examples where the whole family were listed under the surname of the first entry when they actually had different surnames which were correctly listed on the images. My great grandparents are listed under my great grandmother's maiden name because her brother lived with them as it was h...

Re: Launching FH in Win 11

Thanks for confirming this change in behaviour. I was beginning to think I had false memory syndrome. Clearly, MS have not implemented the Recent list on pinned items, though it does work in other locations. Perhaps it will come back some day on a minor upgrade. You can have recent items showing on...

Re: Change one specific instance of a sentence in a narrative report

To remove the "had a relationship with" from the reports you could add a marriage fact for the couple but then edit the sentence for that particular fact replacing the standard template with {note} then leave the note field for that fact empty. It will then not say anything about the relat...

DEA Plugin Issue

I was interested in looking at possibly using DEA for Census entry because of the file reloading lags I get with AS because of the size of my project (68k+). However in spite of installing CP's Burial DEA when I select "Prepare citation to existing source" and select a burial source in the...

Re: Issue with Lumped Source Splitter

Thanks Mike, I wasn't aware you could have two scenarios for shared Fact Witnesses and associated Source Citations. I think it's quite likely that's the difference between when it ran OK and when it failed. The second time there were Fact Witnesses the marriages would have been edited first to inclu...

Re: Issue with Lumped Source Splitter

Thanks Mike, I'm well familiar with the "undo" function. :D I chose not to undo the Probate Calendar entries but to link them manually as they were already created and I expected it would happen again if I re-ran it, but anything is possible. One weird thing I did notice was that the sourc...

Re: Issue with Lumped Source Splitter

Hhm, just had a weird result. I had 67 citations for National Probate Calendar, I think it was 33 unique when it did the initial record check. It has created all the sources but only assigned 3 sources to the correct events. There are 61 citations remaining against the original source record and 28 ...

It searched through 91k+ records and then completed within a couple of minutes. Normally even with very few citations it would tak...

Re: Issue with Lumped Source Splitter

There's no progress bar on the plugin. I tend to run it from the Plugin window because at least then you get the status "running" showing until it prompts for interaction and/or completes. If you "pin" it to the tools menu, you get nothing at all to show its running until it prom...

Change "Generic Type" for specific source records

Is there a way to change the generic type for specific source records from say a named list please? I've had a look at change any tag and I don't think that will work because the tag remains the same, just the text within that needs to be changed and it isn't all source records with this particular ...

I'm running Mark's Lumped Source Splitter against some of my early source records as I've moved census entries from citations to full sources and need to convert all the early ones I created. It's been very helpful so far. However, have encounted an issue with trying to close the plugin by using the...

Re: Updating existing FH records with data from CSV

Ooh I'm glad someone mentioned Cremations and death dates as it had completely slipped my mind. :shock:

Just amended the plugin having found I had about 15 cremations with no death date so they now have death dates in the export. :)

Hi Mark Firstly many thanks for doing this, it is very much appreciated. It works great for creating births from baptisms as far as I can see, not come across any issues.

Re: Updating existing FH records with data from CSV

Sorry Mark, I think there has been a misunderstanding then. I thought you were talking about adapting your existing plugin rather than Mike's: It doesn't create synthetic birth and death events from baptisms or burials/probate, as I always include approximate values in my database, but it would be s...
