Very good solution

Hi Keith, 1. I use Events much of the time, family very seldom. Therefore I think it could be practical if each person could choose his own default pane. Petter Hi Petter Default Pane when Starting iFamily V2.466 - iFamily now remembers which pane was open in the lower half of the main window. The ...

Originally posted by plange Hi Keith, thank you for a quick answer 1. I use Events much of the time, family very seldom. Therefore I think it could be practical if each person could choose his own default pane. 2. If you have the birthdate (01 05 1800) and Christening year (1800)(where i write the ...

Hi Karen, Other than the small number of non-conforming records that I mentioned in my previous 2 posts iFamily has correctly loaded what was in the Gedcom file. Maybe there was some data that was not written to the Gedcom file. I will send you an email asking for additional information. Here is a l...

I will report the problem to Reunion. Thank you for that report. Is this reason many of my census notes didn't make it over to the iFamily application? I am running Reunion 9.07 - I just checked for " updates" and it says I have the latest version.

Thank you,
Karen

I have many instances where not all of my " notes" have loaded into my iFamily. Some did, but the majority did not. Is there a reason why this is happening? All are labeled in the GED 1 EVEN / 2 TYPE Census .... Can you tell me how I can fix this. I don't want to go through almost 1100 pages of GED...

Hi Karen I have inspected the Reunion9 Gedcom file that you sent me and iFamily has imported all of the information that was in the Gedcom file except for a few very minor omissions related to a few records that are not correctly tagged. All of the records tagged 1 EVEN / 2 TYPE Census ... have been...

Hi Myriam
In iFamily you must enter a gender for every person and it must be M or F. I suggest that you select one or the other and add a Note that you have guessed it.

Hi Karen It depends on which version of Reunion you are using. Some versions of Reunion generate Gedcom records that do not conform to the Gedcom 5.5 Standard. iFamily handles most of Reunion's non-conforming records but there may be some, from the version of Reunion that you are using, that we have...

This sounds excellent! I will try it when I get home. Thanks

Additional notes: 1) Hebrew days are measured sunset to sunset, however, since time of day is often not known for events, I would expect the conversion to assume an event took place before sunset, and anyone utilizing this function would accept that if an event occurred after sunset and before midn...

Originally posted by gavroche You're right. What I was looking for was the ability to enter the Hebrew date in the search field, and retrieve the events on the Hebrew date. (Or for that month) In which case the Gregorian dates would be scattered. Two people born on Oct 7th, 2008 and Sept 18, 1999 a...

I am using v.2443 on a Tiger OS. I realize this might be difficult, but I'd like to be able to get an On This Day report for a non-Gregorian calendar. It would also be nice to be able to turn on/off a preference that displayed the dates in the different calendar - either in addition to the Gregoria...

Whew. Thanks Keith. This should keep me out of trouble for awhile. Judy

:) I've started using this feature, and it is great for discovering missing links, potential duplicates, and generally tidying up. I suggest some extras: Filter on NAME to also apply to minor dynasties Add " Make Focal person" for selected person Can the window be made to " float" ? Maybe output se...

Thanks. I see where the source number is listed in Events. Because I have just been typing in the source number where ever I wanted to, many relatives don't have the source connected to them in the auto way. Can I go back and get them connected correctly? Hi Judy i am only guessing that you entered...

I apologize for being so slow at grasphing basic concepts! When I did exactly what you instructed and opened Preferences, I discovered that it had Ausgust Johan Schuetz' Ancestors selected as the Ancestoral View of the Focus Person! Of course, when I created the Ancestroral View for myself as the F...

Thanks, Keith. I do understand that. The problem is: I am the root person. I move my cursor over the ancestral view to one of my ancestors, Jacob Snider (or any other one). A message window pops up: " Consanguinity: No consanguinity with August Johan Schuetz" ...[and then gives information regardin...

In ancestry view (the " main" window when I load iFamily) highlighting my name (set as focal person), and the moving cursor to one of my direct ancestors, the information given begins as having no consanguinity with a direct ancestor of my wife.

How can I determine the consanguinity between persons?

My data came from a program that didn't do some things well. I have a master source that has 555 citations, all wrong and were scrambled in the gedcom export from the other program. I'm looking for a way to get a list of the people who share the source. I can go to the Sources list and see the list...
