Re: KB: Ancestor and Descendant List Creation

there is also an unused pointer in loop descendant:
ptrFamilyRec = fhNewItemPtr()
probably should be:
ptrFamilyRecord = fhNewItemPtr()

and for consistency should add:
local ptrChildRecord = fhNewItemPtr()

Re: Where are the FH/LUA code navigation parms

To form double-barrelled names into one indivisible name, the two names can be separated by a no-break-space character code 0160, which in ƒh V6.0 can be added to the repeated space popup as follows. Click its cog, select the Hold Key (space) and click Edit, then insert Alt+0160 between any existing...

Lineage linking like the big boys do

everything says that gedcom is lineage linked. nowhere is there an algorithm I can find for linking it. I need some clever algorithm design help. I have fought this for 4 years. My current iteration runs root to treetops for mother and father and goes down (which allows me to include some of the nec...

Re: Monumental Inscriptions - thoughts?

I wonder if a cenotaph should be a separate source template then a 'regular' monument, and its monumental inscription.

Re: Monumental Inscriptions - thoughts?

way back when I tried using AS and could never figure it out. Its on my list to do. Seems to me you have individual monuments and family monuments.
