Thanks Mike,

I have re-input the Export Folder and it is working. It's been a little while since I used the facility, a bit rusty!!
Now I just need to re-hone the file transfer process.

Great service again!!

Thanks,

Hello, After 12 months, I decided to upgrade my TNG website with a new Gedcom etc. Last time, the export TNG settings worked very well through Mike T's Export Gedcom plug-in 3.7. I have upgraded to 3.9 today and have kept my TNG settings from last time. I go to run plugin 3.9 and it sends me to the ...

Hello again,

I was just wondering if any of you beta testing Version 7 had any feedback on it.

I am sure a lot of us are dying to know how it's all panning out!

Cheers

Thanks Mike,

I am trialling a few image editing products and before I make a decision I will be trying Irfan. I'm all for saving a bit of cash!

Thanks for your help.

Evening Mike and Valkrider, Thanks for coming back to me. Mike....I did go through the tutorial etc adding media and eventually jpeg and pdfs etc (IRfan springs to mind), but like I mentioned in my mail, it didn't seem to fit what I wanted to do and follow the process that I had always been doing si...

Sorry to be a pain..... But I have spent the afternoon looking on this forum for an answer to my subject title....there are a few other similar threads, but I cannot seem to find the answer yea or neigh. I put all my media (generally written and not photos) in the system and then link them to a Sour...

Thanks Mike, I will go through what you have advised. So just to confirm.....when I add a jpeg of a say, Baptism to AS and complete the process, it produces a media file of the Baptism and links it to a New Source record of the Baptism for the individual. I think I have many of these generated throu...

Hello again, I have just been backpedalling on Witness setup and reconverting quite a lot of data......which brings me on to the above subject. I have just run the Unlinked Media plug in and have picked up a few issues that i have now sorted. This plugin also found a number of photos not in FH6 that...

Hello Mike, Still ploughing through the Name Only Witnesses, there are a number of names that I have now included as linked individuals....a major tidy up ready for my update to TNG soon. Along with my photo project I now have some individuals connected to photos in FH, it is looking more and more i...

Many thanks to you all for your prompt and informative posts, I REALLY appreciate it!! It looks like after finishing my mammoth conversion of Witnesses with Mike T the other day (thanks for your help Mike!), I will be trialling a few Photo software packages soon!! Thanks again to all and keep safe a...

Hello All, I am in the process of scanning lots of old family black and white photos and saving them in a directory on my laptop. Some of these photos need attention, scratches, pen marks and general fading etc. I am sure that many of the FHUG have already been through this process.........What type...

Hello Mike and thanks for your last mail! I have trudged through the conversion and I finally have all Marriage Witness Roles as Fact Witness with the Gear Wheel! It has opened my eyes a bit because of the 75 that I had had to convert, there were a number with only one witness attached (the ones I c...

Ok Mike, I have run the Witnessed Events standard query, the List Name Only Witnesses plugin, and somehow I managed to run a query All Individuals with Marriage Witness Attribute (which I assume gives me the Marriage Witness linked via the Records / Tab), it seems to anyway! These are the reports th...

Evening Mike, I have run a query or two.....and I have converted the Non Standard Witness roles i.e. Vicar, Mother, Father and Parent to Minister for the Vicar role and Informants for the others. There weren't many of them. I have now matched up the Roles for Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death, Burial ...

Thanks Mike, Cremation Facts and Roles same as Burial in FH. If I reset the Marriage to defaults does that affect my current Marriage Witness information in my database or is that kept as is? Or does it affect just new marriages input via AS? Do I need the Father and Mother (and any non standard rol...

And again Mike, I have checked the ASSOC IND in AS for each category........ BAP - Godparent, Minister and Priest and Rabbi BIR - No Associated Individuals BUR - Attender, Mourner, Minister, Rabbi, Priest and Witnesses DEA - Minister, Mourner, Priest Rabbi and Witnesses not sure why these are under ...

Hello Mike, Thanks. I have setup AS as requested. Set up the Informants for BIR and DEA. I have looked at the Fact type roles and this is what I have for each Fact. BAP - Godparent, Minister and Priest BIR - Informant, Father, Mother and Parent BUR - Attender, Mourner, Minister, Rabbi and Priest DEA...

Thanks for the info CVG, the Fact Witness way looks like the way to go!!

Hi Mike, Thanks for your contact re the handling of the Witnesses and sorry for being a bit quiet over the last few days!! Yes I do still want to close this out. I know you do not have a crystal ball and I am sure that you know more than I, but I asked a question re the new version 7 and the way thi...

Hi Mike,

Looked at the tutorial.

Run both PlugIns and have the csv results.

What is the next step please?

Cheers,
PP

Hi Mike, Thanks again for your help. Having read Jane's response, about the Witnessed Event in the Records Window / All Tab, it made me think on which way is the best way going forward. You mentioned that there will be changes to Witnessed Events in a newer version of FH. I assume these changes will...

Hello again, I suppose I am trying to find the best way of standardising the way witness events are entered in my database. Something must have changed without me really noticing the difference. Anyway, we are where we are. I have run a Witnessed Events Standard Query and I have the following: Marri...

Hi Mike, Thanks for trying to come up with a solution. Does this mean that I have to run a witness query for all Marriages and Deaths and then convert manually? I have had a little look at trying to set up an marriage witness entry in the individual's record by right clicking the name.....where does...

Thanks Mike, The convert case 1 to case 2 might be interesting. If I experiment with this plug in, does this remove the entries under the marriage in total i.e. no witnesses remain, even those with just a name are removed (or do they stay) and what about the Minister entry is that separate, so it re...

Hello All and Mike T, A couple of years ago, I started a thread about this in the main Forum and Mike T kindly tried to help me. I love using AS to input information. I have entered marriages through AS over the years, since my first purchase of version 3 way back when. I have been using version 6 s...
