Re: Find and Replace Not working

At this time I have still not had a successful completion of the F&R function. In the latest test I did today, the "find" appeared in about 10 minutes; a half an hour or so later there was still no "replace" showing. Perhaps if I walk away for an hour or more there might be a...

Re: Find and Replace Not working

I did contact Calico Pie regarding this problem and have had several communications with them. I finally sent them a copy of my gedcom and they responded thusly: "Thank you for your patience, the developers have reviewed the problem and tracked it down to the tool bar, if you simply leave the p...

Unfortunately up to now I have not had the time to contact Calico Pie re my find and replace problem. Other matters have taken precedence. I will report back here when that happens.

Re: Find and Replace Not working

Mike, thanks again for your review and advise. I'll contact Calico Pie and, since I'm US, see if they can find a time to have them take a look. Side issue - another reason that I did not go with Windows 10 I may have mentioned before. It controls the computer in a way that unless you read and "...

Re: Find and Replace Not working

When the green progress bar "just sits there", I just close the box. It then says "0 replacements have been made". Yes, I have Classic Shell on Windows 8.1. I decided NOT to do Windows 10 on my pc. I did do the upgrade [?] to 10 for my laptop earlier and decided that it provided ...

Re: Find and Replace Not working

Have retried a couple of things. Sample project will NOT do a find and replace. It will "find", then appear to be doing the rest but the green runner just sits there. Obviously with the sample project as small as it is, it would not take much time to complete. The simple "find" w...

Re: Find and Replace Not working

Well, the mystery continues. I tried the plug in with the same result. I also tried just the find feature with various name and parts of names - no match case or match whole word checked - just names. For some names, or parts of names, I get a result from the find feature - for others that I am actu...

Hi Mike, I've tried checking or unchecking everything but the names and get the green runner and no result. I have just tried another "find and replace" with the same result - green runner no result. I HOPE this is not a bug in my copy of FH. I've had no other problems with this version th...

Find and Replace Not working

I'm having some difficulty getting the find and replace working. I have a family that sometimes appears as Caslin and other times as McCaslin. Most of my input has been with the Caslin version but now I want to change that to the McCaslin version. When I try to use the find and replace, I get the gr...

Spell Check

I searched in the wish lists and could not find a request for spell checking but can't imagine that there has not been such a request. Did I miss something here.

If it is on a list how do I add my name?

Thanks so much for your quick replies to my question. I have just spent an hour or so trying to get Classic Shell to work on my laptop that has Windows 10 -was an upgrade from Windows 7.

Upgrade to Win 10 and FH support

Here's my question - hopefully will get an answer from tatewise. Yes, this IS very last minute but I have done quite a bit of research but need to make a decision within the next few hours re a free Windows 10 installation. Yes, I know, it is probably July 30 in the UK but not here yet. I have 2 com...

Re: Where to host tree for posterity

I plan to leave my gedcom [and possibly some paper work] to an Historical Society in my home town and to one in Connecticut where my earliest known progenitor settled in 1634. With some luck, and heavy persuasion, one son MAY take up the research. With the rapid changes in technology using the inter...

Re: Version 6.1 Relationship Citations

Mervyn, All points well made. Lacking sufficient documentation that Fern is Dorothy and Linford's natural child, she is now de facto. These are not close relatives so won't be pursuing too much further. Coming from a line that is fairly long lived, I may still be around to check out the 1950 US Cens...

Re: Version 6.1 Relationship Citations

As to Anne's comment - yes, possible that Bertha could be Fern's mother. We do see women who give birth later than the norm. Just think I'll leave Bertha's "likely" reputation as "faithful to husband" intact. Bertha did have sons that could possibly be Fern's father but since dau...

Re: Version 6.1 Relationship Citations

Thanks for the input and suggestions. Bertha Lillibridge could not have been the mother of Fern as Bertha's husband died in 1918 and Fern was born in 1926. The fact that Fern's death certificate lists Linford and Dorothy as parents seems to make the best case for their being her parents. Yes, the &q...

Linford Acre, 7 June 1927. Fern does not appear in the 1930 census anywhere that I can find. Dorothy and Linford are ...
