Re: move person?
Hi Cathleen I believe the only way to do what you want is to disconnect the person from the current parent and then add as new child to the new parent. You need to have appropriate dates of birth for new parent and offspring so that the person appears in the offered ‘prospective children’. Hope that...

Re: Removing one family from a database to start up on their own
Hi Firstly, make a copy of your database. Then using the copy database, disconnect people connected to the root person you want to have as the basis of the new tree that you don’t want to include. This is usually the parents of the partner of the root. Then, select File…Export… Export Gedcom…All peo...

Re: Option for OCTI changed into OCCU when exporting GEDCOM
Hi, Events for Occupation do use the OCCU format though I am not sure it is correct with the TYPE field being used for the actual occupation. _OCTI seems to be generated (in my exports at least) where a title has been added in the Person Tab. If I create a Title (Sir, Baron etc) as an event using TI...

Also which macOS are you using?

Re: New Computer 12.3.1 NO iFamily?
Kathy, I'm sorry you are still having issues with iFamily & macOS Monterey. I am convinced something must have gone wrong with the transfer of data from your old machine to your new one when you initially set it up as I have had very few issues with Monterey or iFamily v 2.12.0 Did you ever locate t...

Support for new versions of GEDCOM
I have been looking at the GEDCOM export/import from iFamily and it used GEDCOM 5.5 standard which is quite old. The latest GEDCOM org spec is 5.5.5 though 5.5.1 is often used (Not sure of the changes). FamilySearch have issued GEDCOM 7.x which is not an update but a new standard - which is a bit co...

Hi Strange that the finder search does not find any .ftksql files. Do you have an iFamilyData folder in “Documents”? Or any where on the computer?

I get a similar issue on an Apple Silicon MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.3 and iFamily 12.2 0 but get a requester listing the accepted formats.
It also failed on the 9 Sep 1880 so I didn’t check out the limits of the bug.
