Tools>Record Identifiers Individuals Five Choices If I have an INDI record......... @I683@ which one will post a _RIN (or some other search and replace type) of RIN 683 on the record? Custom IDs are not hit in the search of 6.6.2 Here is the need. I have this going into several other Programs, who i...

there are many threads and knoledgebase entires on geocoding. I cannot find an automatic geocoding (putting in lat and long when it knows the PLAC) anywhere. I have tried the map life events with the result set of all individuals but after a couple hundred not found and have to click ok, and it does...

Yeah, I have read the 5.5 standard, as I stated before, the celerity is that of Ancestry's FTM. I was a computer programmer by trade and have programmed assembly language and broken into the supposedly secure iSeries operating system. I have seen some useless documentation and that standard is at le...

Regarding your comment about ancestry.....Yeah.....therein is my experience and problem. Here is how my gedcom is, since I did not have FH a long time ago, and would like to combine sources wherever possible, for a go to war session on familysearch 1 CENS 2 DATE 10 Jan 1900 2 PLAC , Mazeppa, Wabasha...

yes, lets say I go to the sources merge: @S55@ 1900 US Census @S101@ 1900 US Census @S1900@ 1900 US Census rather than find and click, and click and click, it would be handy to have a utility that works exactly like the merge individual records utility. I dont have the window handy, but it should be...

I know about the merge sources, again, click and click and click. There is no merge citations as there is a merge files. I will look at the other name thing, I must have been using another window, all that was available was add, in alternate names. I wish I didnt have to hand code so much, but this ...

I saw that. My understanding of it is I would have to create a separate source for each findagrave url. If that is incorrect, then I dont know how to do that thru a source of findagrave, each link to its own page. I cant even find a way to delete a name from within the alternate name list, when both...

I am quite sure it is as you say. I am doing from memory. But now I see that I need to go fix in tools and do the timeframes. So I have one question answered. We will mark that solved, thank you. The other is more troubling, that it moves the findagrave source from where I want it. from this: 1 BURI...

How can I prevent FH 6.2.2 from rearranging this: 1 EVEN 2 Type Mortuary 3 PLAC Herman Munster and Sons, Wadena, , Wadena, MN, US 1 BURI 2 DATE 1944 2 PLAC Wadena Cemetery, Wadena, Wadena, Wadena, MN, US 2 SOUR http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=111421065 2 SOUR @S101@ 2 SOUR ...

Just prior to the index listing of the merge of two project files there appears a screen with some statistics on it. It says something on the order of ... Facts not checked, do you want to proceed anyway? Option to continue or cancel (I do not have the program in front of me) but it is as best I rem...

The random changing of @S1900@ and NigelFarage@Brexit.com to @@S1900@@ and NigelFarage@@Brexit.com appears to have been occurring for some time. I see a fix in plugins to run. one does not remember to run it all the time. Is there a control framework somewhere that allows event callbacks something l...

I corrected the numbering and things while you were replying. I have the following user defined tag 1 _MiLT WWi, US Army, France 346th Engineer Battalion . . . FH changed it to 1 _ATTR WWi, US Army, France 346th Engineer Battalion 2 TYPE Military Service. . . . I have no EVEN OR FACT in my file as o...

I understand that, So what I am trying to get to.. 1 FACT WWI 2 TYPE Military Service 2 DATE SEP 1918 2 PLAC Springfield, Hampden, MA 2 TEXT blah blah blah 2 CONT yadda yadda yadda instead of: 1 _ATTR WWI 2 TYPE Military Service 2 DATE SEP 1918 2 PLAC Springfield, Hampden, MA 2 TEXT blah blah blah 2...

I see no help on user defined tags. I see no way to create them. or tags, or the like. I do not have CAUS in a fact or event, which is problematical. it has changed them to _ATTR (and it knows they are a type of medical condition) what should the lines look like to put them in gedcom form? I also ha...

BTW I dont use roots magic. not for nothing. While testing my hand built in FH it gave me some small fits, and I learned how it interpreted the standard. When I did Roots magic earlier.... I had lines like this 1 TEXT 2 CONT 3 CONC intermixed throughout and just like FH they had a import with severa...

Thank you. I am unused to the language used in these forums for their stuff, I am an IBM AS400 programmer, and would never consider that a compact tree (not in a bad way, but great, that is going to make it far more usable for me. The way this is working (genealogy) for me, is I work a bit here, bec...

No. I got the plug ins figured out insofar as what their scam is. I go to the plugin all the time to update and look at new plugins. I am not a heavy user of FH as of yet, because of two things. I am acclimating myself to it, and the way it shows a tree is very cumbersome for me. RootsMagic-Essentia...

Yes, understand it is in the software.

I thought perhaps it would be online, because I thought modules might be added more often than updates are checked for, to get the latest and greatest.

I am at work (I own it) and dont have the software here on my computer.

maybe something I will have to do.

Mike, I have looked at that page for all I am worth before I posted. FH module or FH user defined or FH API or any sort of thing like that doesnt appear to be anywhere. no listing of FH modules I can see.... I go to knowledge base and enter into the search fhGetItemText() Nothing found fhOutputResul...

I am unsure of protocols here...but I have searched and can't find the info I am looking for on this matter Mike, I see that you are building plugins in 13695|Burial Locations - Unique , and have many. I have the lua ref and manual now, but I see in this discussion, that you have mentioned functions...

Oh, wait, just finished another cup of coffee.

Got it. LOL. What a guy!!! What a group of guys!!!! What an army of guys you are Mike!!!!!

Mike, No Ron: 1 NAME Karen /Thomson/ <<<< her birth/maiden Surname known 1 NAME Karen /[Johnson]/ <<<< her birth/maiden Surname not known so use Husband's Surname to differentiate her from other Karens and associate her with husband. GEDCOM Surnames must always be delimited within / symbols. In both...

1 NAME Karen /Johnson/ <<<<husband known and has a record 1 NAME Karen [Johnson] <<<< no idea who that guy is and I dont want to create a record for him Do I have that right? And yeah, I used to have 20/10 vision, but eyes are not good, could be a star could be a trident, I dont know. LOL.

Thank you. Now that I look at it....... I feel so cheap. To be clear 1 NAME Phoebe Ann /Covey/ 2 GIVN Phoebe, Ann 2 SURN Covey 1 NAME Phoebe Ann /Sibley/ 1 NAME Phoebe Ann /Chapman/ 1 NAME Phoebe Ann /Browning/ Would fix my problem here? I have more questions, different tags, I will ask on separate ...

But so far it looks like the best answer is leave it in error.
