Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

I think that I now have the definitive answer to the import of Flags from Calicoe Pie. The first response was: For any given person: ------------------------------ 1. A TMG Flag with value N or ? or blank is discarded and no equivalent flag is set for that person in FH 2. A TMG Flag with value Y pro...

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

I am being told that it should truncate and then split into four flags numbered 0 to 3 and as we know that doesn't happen!

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Mike I have been out all day but I have received a response from Calicoe Pie. Unfortunately, one of their stated rules is not what happens in practice so I have gone back seeking clarification. It would appear that there is either an exception to one of the rules or that rule is not working as inten...

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Mike

I can experiment to see under what conditions Flags are imported but perhaps the best way of getting a definitive answer is to ask Calico Pie. I will drop them a line with the query.

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Thinking on this further there are a couple of options that might be viable but are dependent on the criteria used when applying the flag in TMG. It is possible in TMG to change the value of the flag in bulk using Reports . The List of People report allows for the selection of a Flag with a specific...

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Sorry Mike, my mistake due to the way I used the Ancestor Interest in my project where I had a straight Y or N. To me someone is either an ancestor or isn't! Having reinstalled my copy of TMG (and had lunch) I have now had a look at the Sample Project again. It seems that Calico Pie made the decisio...

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Mike

The 0 to 3 sounds more like the surety value rather than the flag value. Perhaps I had better dig out my old TMG program and fire it up.

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Is one explanation that the Ancestor Interest flag with value Y becomes Ancestor Interest in FH, and if it has no value it also becomes Ancestor Interest in FH? I don't think so - as I said, there has to be a default value in TMG so there is no opportunity to leave it with no value - for Ancestor I...

Re: TMG to FH import of Flags

Mike In TMG you defined the default value of the flag, and to give an example I used the Ancestor Interest flag in my project. This meant that all the individuals in my TMG project had a N flag as this was the default unless they had been amended to Y. In FH, using the TMG Import, I now have flags (...

Re: More difficult to read text - Irish Marriage

My thought is that the surname is Carroll, not only because it is a common Irish name but also on looking at the letter 'r' in erant and Maria they appear to be very much the same. If the name at the end is the priest it could be 'F' for Father D..... That being the case, are there other marriage en...

If you pass it on, even privately, then you are effectively allowing another person access to an image that you do not own and would therefore have to get the permission of the ...
