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.

Wonderful, so now the error message makes sense. Bit of a Gordian knot methinks. Thank you Mark.

Will test that out and report back, probably tomorrow now, as at work

Hi Mark, The screenshot shows the results of my trials: batch output 2.jpg The first run is is using your test files as instructed. All well The second run is amended the script to run with my files in their original location. Fail For the third run I copied my files to C:\Python\data folder, script...

Will give that a go. Thanks.

Hi, I have download the original file again and edited using notepad: The output from running my batch file is: batch output.jpg the two changed lines (using Notepad) are: input_file = 'C:\Users\David\Documents\Family Historian Projects\David\David.fh_data\David - Copy.ged' output_file = 'C:\Users\D...

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. I used Notepad++, guess maybe that's the cause.
Will start from scratch using notepad.

(I added the print statements to get some output as the batch file opened the command box which closed straight away)

Thank, Um, no I haven't, file is just a copy the FH file.
1 CHAR UNICODE
think that's the default

Hi, have tried amending and running as instructed however am getting this error: Python 3.7.1 (v3.7.1:260ec2c36a, Oct 20 2018, 14:57:15) [MSC v.1915 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> C:\Users\Da...

Thank you Mark, will look at later.

Mark, I am very interested in looking at your Python script. Would you be prepared to let me have a copy please?

David
