If you believe the date of birth to be accurate according to FreeBMD below there are only 2 possibles with both the first names. http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/2.png FreeBMD as you can see gives you the references to order the certificates BUT these are the certificates that you have already ...

Mike I have now had a think about your question of yesterday. I am not so sure about Approximate (or Calculated) dates. What do others think? How should I evaluate for example 4 July 1888 (Approx) or May 1777 (Approx) as opposed to 1666 (Approx)? If I call them option 1, 2 and 3 in the order that yo...

Mike, I want to re-read and fully understand your suggestions yesterday before I answer. In between times I agree with Bill just because the forenames are the wrong way round this should not deduct any points as I have several instances of christening order being reversed in later life (particularly...

Thanks Jane.

Done and emailed you.

How does one go about adding to the Knowledgebase?

I have a couple of additional software suggestions to add.

Mike, Just FYI v 1.6 did not replace v1.5 for me. As you can see from the screenshot it added a second instance with -1 at the end of the plugin name. It seems to be taking a little longer to run than v1.4 but not significantly. It is throwing more duplicates than before and virtually all of them ar...

Mike

Thanks for this.

I have just tried it out. It has found a few more than 1.4 some new ones (I suspect lower scores before as they aren't new records). The gender match that I had before is now gone.

I will spend some more time this afternoon looking at more records and let you know.

Mike

You are more than welcome to a copy of my Gedcom with some genuine ones as well as ones that aren't including the wrong gender ones. It has around 1700 individuals in it.

How do I get it to you?

Another way would be to use some CD burning software on your other PC and create an ISO image of the install CD. Then use a programme such as PowerISO on the netbook with the iso image you have just created stored on a memory stick and do an install from there.

tatewise said: Colin ~ You have described the process I plan to use, but just expressed differently. The trickiest bit is designing the user interface to allow the pairs of Non-Duplicate Records to be conveniently managed. Great minds think alike ;) tatewise said: On a point of information: The uni...

Mike Just a thought couldn't your store RIN's as pairs in the external non duplicates table. Then once the plugin has run do a compare on pairs of RIN's before displaying the dataset. Or is this not possible or what you are already suggesting described differently? One way may be to assign each pair...

Mike, [grin]V1.4 works fine it returns more matches than before and seems to be working much better for me. I think that -5 for the Gender is insufficient as I am still getting one showing up with a score of 17 so perhaps nearer to -10 might be a better bet. Thanks very much for your continued work ...

Mike,

Just installed 1.3 and am now getting this error message.



[cry]

Mike

Another little anomaly in the screen shot below. The latest run has identified husband and wife as duplicates.

Mike

Thanks very much for the way to do this.

Is there a way to add an additional option to the Relation field drop down?

One that is missing is 'Inmate' for workhouse or prison residents. Also 'Orphan' is missing which is common in workhouse entries.

Thanks Mike I read that thread and reread it but couldn't work it out, that is why I started this one. I have tried again and now I understand and can see the image. Why are the 2 multimedia icons different? If they were the same I am sure it would cause less confusion if they all looked like a came...

Using Method 1

No idea about the images setup I just clicked the linked images button and add and save the image.

Am I doing something wrong? I am using AS to enter my census data and am including an image. Looking at the citation for an individual it shows the path to the census image. If I click on the camera icon underneath the fact it shows the view / edit media window with no link to the image. If I select...

To back up my suggestion about the rin check if you look at my latest report you will see that most fall into the same category.



For me flags would also be very useful.

Mike, Tremendous speed improvement my 19 second search now takes less than 2 seconds. I agree that the -3 isn't sufficient as I have several father and sons, mother and daughters showing up because they have the same name. Maybe a search on the RIN and if within say 10 then maybe take off another 3 ...

Mike Another couple that it didn't identify http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/fergus1.jpg and http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/fergus2.jpg Thanks for adding the record numbers to the new version. BTW 1650 records search on a quad core 64bit machine with 16gb of ram took 19 seconds to run.

I have sorted out some duplicates this afternoon as promised. This one is probably a better example This is what Ancestral Quest reported http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/aq1.jpg This is what The Duplicates query reported http://www.fhug.org.uk/images/uploads/fh.jpg This is the first duplicate ...

Tatewise Thanks for responding so promptly. To give you an example the plugin identifies 14 records as duplicates. Running the same gedcom file through Ancestral Quest 14 identifies some 2088 duplicates. Family Tree Maker 2012 identifies 38 duplicates. This is on a file with 1650 individuals in it. ...

Thanks for creating this report. It works fine on my set-up. I didn't notice the problems that some others have maybe because I have more memory in my machine. Obviously it is work in progress it doesn't seem to be doing a full soundex search as the names I am researching are Lefever and Lefevre and...
