Hi Kirsten, I have just run the report on my database and there is no option to exclude the Notes. However, I did not have the problems you describe - all my data goes into columns 1-9 I tried this on both Numbers and Excel without any data in later columns. Excel will spill the data over later colu...

Hi Kirsten, I don't know if it is best or not but I have my wife's and my family trees all in one database. I don't seem to have any problems with it and it is only about 2.5 Mbytes in size. But, I only have some 1225 people in my trees and the more you have the more it may slow down the application...

Hi Kirsten,

I have not done this myself but the instructions look as though you should be able to do what you want>

Try this:

No problems found so far with random feature testing.

New look seems crisper than before.

New position for the Selection bar works well.

More feedback if anything shows up - I hope to test GEDCOM export against reunion & MFT

Hi Allan, If you select your Mother on the main diagram and then from the Menu bar Reports..Ancestors you will have the option to generate a report of the ancestors of just your mother. You can control the level of detail in the report but the following is a fairly full extract. I have only included...

Hi Kirsten,

If you have a look in the section of the forum about Google Maps you should find the info you need.

Have a look at :

and see if it has what you need.

Hi Kirsten, If you follow my other reply or just go to the menu item Reports.. Sources.. you can generate the list of Sources (and Citations) as a text file (RTF) or in spreadsheet form (CSV) and select an application to use to open the info. It is perfectly possible to generate a Numbers spreadshee...

Hi Kirsten,

Glad that helped.

Yes, you can print out the sources. Go to Reports ... Sources.. in the menu bar and select the options.

You can generate a report that includes all the citations for each Source or just list the sources.

regards,

Nigel

Hi Kirsten, I don't use those fields myself (Ancestral File & Ref. No) and the only place I have found the Ref Number is via the search field in the top right of the main screen. If you click on the little magnifying glass you should find a set of options to search for - default is Name. One of thos...

Hi Again,

If you right-click in the text field the context menu has an entry for Spelling with a sub menu including an option to 'Check spelling as you type'.

If you deselect this it should stop the red marking.

regards,

Nigel

Hi Kirsten,

There may well be a way but mine does not seem to be turned on.

There is a menu item to Open Spelling and Grammar with options for the language to be used. Mine is set to Automatic by language though you can choose English, American etc

Nigel

Hi Kirsten, The way I do it is to use the Event view for the person involved and then click on the last column (Sources). This brings up a requester with the event details and a + - in the bottom left. Click on the Plus (+) and select the particular Source type you have already set up. I have mine s...

Hi Kirsten, I cannot think of any reason to stop you making those changes. For the OCCU event I change 'Occupation' to the job held by that individual. There have been some discussions on the Forum over the way that iFamily exports some of the Event types in the GEDCOM files but it should not make a...

Hi Kirsten,

I have had a check back through the previous postings and this one should help.

http://www.ifamilyforleopard.com/forums ... ing+export

If no, let us know.

Nigel

Hi Kirsten, I use the Option-Space with Surnames that need to be kept together rather than between first and Second names. To display the full name in the Diagram there is a drop down selector in the Preferences pane that alters what (and how it) is displayed. Also, it could be that 'Annemarie' is a...

Hi Kirsten & welcome.

I did not mean that the individuals were selected at the same time just that when they were selected the same individuals would appear.

Sorry for any confusion,

Nigel

Hi Mark, Glad that helped. There is a lot of info on the Forum - just search for something you are looking for and it will probably be there. Also there is the Manual section which has a lot of good info for an introduction. Otherwise, feel free to ask and help will be on hand from any number of oth...

Hi Mark, Not too sure what problem you are having here. If you have entered an event such as a Christening, Burial, Baptism etc and you view it via the EVENT view (selected from the bottom of the screen) and select the final column for that entry a requester will pop up for the Source Citation to be...

Ah, the boxes do not appear in Horizontal display which I was using.

I agree, there is no apparent way to change the box colours and set print as black and white.

Probably a bug for Warwick to put on the 'to do' list.

Regards,

Nigel

Hi, Just tried that and the only Box I get is the Highlight for the 'Root' person. The colour does not change with the Black option but can be set via the Custom settings panel - Change the highlight colour to a grey or remove altogether by selecting white. Hope that is the box you mean. Regards, Ni...

Hi dankwerts, Which diagram are you trying to print out? I tried it on an Ancestors chart and did not get a 'blue box or frame'. Save as PDF is the only way to get a single sheet unless you select a paper size that is bigger than the output - difficult to do with large trees unless you can use an A0...

Hi,

There is a check box in the Customise Defaults / Diagram requester to select Black and White for Printing. You should be able to create a PDF through the Print Requester or the Save as PDF button.

This is Black and White (except for Pictures).

Regards,

Nigel

Hi Larry,

I don't believe it is possible to do so.

You can add other marriage events such as a marriage license or annulment but not a MARR event.

It does not seem possible to have a second marriage between two people in Reunion either.

Anyone found a way round this?

Nigel

Hi Bill, I do not believe iFamily saves the font info as that would require all installations to have the same font set (well the ones you have selected) making it a Word processor rather than a text handler. Possible to do, but I guess Keith's KISS principle applied. Your Subject line also inclu...

Hi Martin, The problem with GEDCOM is that 5.5 is the only published standard. All the later docs are draft. Whilst there are some good additions to 5.5.1 it is difficult for a software developer to adopt it as there will possibly be errors or different interpretations giving rise to incompatible tr...

Hi again,

iFamily will import OCCU <occupation> data so I am not too sure why it exports it with the TYPE statement other than both are valid but a check in Reunion fails to import the TYPE info.

One for Warwick to look at,

Nigel

Hi bauschaffender, As you say, the LAIT & LONG tags are from the 5.5.1 draft document - which is why they are not generated by iFamily which complies with the issued document. If you need to change this, you could load the .ged file into Textedit and Find & Replace the _LONG and _LATI to LONG & LATI...

Hi Babs, I believe the list in the drop down is internal to iFamily rather than being related to the complete list of Event Types. If so, then it is an area for Warwick to look at to allow the complete set of Event types to be used in the filters and other selection areas. Was there anything you wer...

Hi Duncan, I don't believe there is a way to change the order of names but no doubt Warwick can advise if it is available (ma be in the localisation settings) or could be added. As to the number of Concubines. You could treat them as 'partners' if there were any recorded offspring in order ...

Hi, Just looking in the preferences section and at the top of the panel there is an option to include the date of the last change for a record This then displays the last changed info for each record in the upper section diagram display. I don't know if that would help track down when changed wer...
