I prefer the hyphen, rather than underscore, because of the way things sort. Always change the BMD downloads From FMP to hyphens so they sort consistently.

If we collect data from various sources about living individual, and then publish these data together then I would argue we are subject to GDPR. Particularly if that person is identifiable from the information we have published.

Need to see more to compare.

Ah, right. Thank you

Hi, just ran the Check Installed Plugins against the Store plugin, and notices the Relatedness report I have is newer that the store version. Not a problem, just mentioning it. I find the report is very useful in reminding me how much DNA might be shared with any ancestor. Check Installed Plugins ag...

Hi,

Just ran the Backup and Restore Family Historian plugin v2.8 and I noticed that the Data Filename on the final Status screen is blank. Image attached. Is this usual? Thanks.

That's neat, shows what a busy day 25 December was in my tree, nice visual representation of the family calendar

That's valuable work you are doing. Is it worth exploring putting the information onto two websites, as aback up against future changes? Also have you thought of lodging a copy with either your local library or archives and the family history society.

Not sure about which updates I have used that approach on, it might be worth a try as a restart is sometimes needed rather than shut down and reboot. It's a while since I have needed to use it.

One trick I have tried in the past is:
With the computer up and running,
Do a restart. When that's completed. Shutdown. Then reboot.
Ensure that the shutdown has completed before rebooting.

I have used this successfully to recover from a stalled update that is preventing further updates.

Really like that latest version, like the ranges. Very useful. Thank you

(A trivial error on the first row showing myself - the min/max don't make sense.)

The 100% is 6800, then I would expect 50% from each parent, actually Ancestry shows 3421 match for my mother. Have a look at Whoyouaremadeof. Com It's always a range, and you can have more distant direct ancestors who you inherit none from!

Nice, how about a column showing the average centimorgans based on a total 6800? Problem is there is a range of centimorgans actually shared.

I let FT Analyser read the project gedcom directly since it is only reading the file. Is there a problem with doing this?

That might raise the question of who writes the standards in the future. At the risk of provoking furious debate GeoPlace provide such a statement at: https://www.geoplace.co.uk/-/geoplace-statement-on-use-of-apostrophes-in-street-naming-and-numbering?inheritRedirect=true Ultimately Local Authoriti...

I wonder if looking at pool numbers would help. Would such people be in their own pool?

Yes, that might help answer the question asked at the beginning of this thread. However the FMP tree would need to have those media links in place before creating a Gedcom. That means manually amending the media field in each case. In this case I suspect each media item has to be downloaded and link...

Actually I think we may be slightly at cross purposes here. I am looking at the FMP site rather than the hints within FH (where I agree completely with what you say). However working on the FindMyPast website I find that just accepting the hints on the website just attaches a link to the transcripti...

I'll build a small test tree to explore what happens

Sorry my response was a bit techy speak like. An example of the {0} - note curly brackets- as in this link: http://search.findmypast.co.uk{0}/record?id=bmd%2fm%2f1886%2f2%2faz%2f000016%2f283 http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=bmd%2fm%2f1886%2f2%2faz%2f000016%2f283 when removed, this will work ...

Sorry Mike, didn't have anything to contribute. I will have a look through the updated pages when I get some spare time.

To explore this a little I created and downloaded a Gedcom from my FMP tree. I then imported this into a new FH project. My observations are: For the FMP records that I had linked to my tree a hyperlink was produced. The ones I tested from within the downloaded Gedcom linked to a page with a transcr...

Hi Paula, may I add some reassurance. I too have much computer experience but found Family Historian daunting at first. This Forum has been immensely useful and supportive. What I particularly like is that FH uses a GEDCOM file as it's datastore. A file that can be read by many programs, with a vary...

So the target audience is: users first attempting to add knowledge and experienced users needing a reference manual? How about a glossary - namespace might be unfamiliar to some.

Is there a need for review before public posting?

Just an update, have run the script successfully. Loaded into Roots Magic and looks good. Been too busy this week to progress further. Many thanks, think this will prove to be very useful.
