          I'm glad you brought this up, I have not used it much lately
and haven't been keeping up on the Family Tree deal.  There is some
clod that keeps linking my mom's father  to a family in the northeast
and I know he was born and died in Colorado and was never in the
north east at all.  I've unlinked it a few times already.  Maybe this
will prevent that sort of problem.

When I added new data in FS with AQ, a small block appears after the entry. It
says to add the reason why, etc this data was used.

Does this mean a Source reference, (birth certificate, etc) such as you would
normally put in as a Source, not in a Note when working directly in FS? - OR -
is FS going to do away with the long/detailed Source format? (I would love it if
did!!)

Cleadie,

You should start using Family Search Family Tree . . . the successor to nFS
. . . due for release this month/year.

Family Tree has a significantly different approach to sources than nFS . .
. check out all the Family Tree links in the "Help" feature of nFS or
familysearch.org.

I expect our friends at AQ are working hard to get the interface and
synchronisation working with Family Tree . . . which should include
sourcing - the "why/reason" question you mentioned is one of the new
features in Family Tree..

Thanks for the reply.

I took the time to check things out before replying. It has been a long time
since I last checked on Family Tree. A lot has been added since then. Once I get
use to it I probably will like it better than nFS, but right now I am finding
the font hard to use. On my computer the font is very large and fine. I'll have
to see if I can shrink and make it darker. All my other programs have the fonts
the other way around - tiny and heavy, so I have to enlarge them.

Cleadie,

I find the default font size too large too. You can change the font size
for a session by clicking the + or - in the Zoom tool. Unfortunately it
will not remember your preferred size between sessions.

I have a roller mouse, and that did the trick. It seems to have stuck when I
opened it again this afternoon. It is now much better to read and navigate
through many levels. Still a bit faint. I miss the old computers that had the
little wheels to darken or lighten the screen when needed.

There are a lot of things I dislike about this Sony laptop with Windows 7. Not
sure which is too blame for the quirks, but I will have to live with it until it
quits. By then I hope something new will come along that works right.

Is that happening at the moment?

Sometimes strange things are happening on FS, nFS and FT.

AQ doesn't always link or review with nFS. So I am wondering if the changeover
happening or some other gremlins are in the works.

Cheers,

Ken

When they move my great grandparents to Family Tree my grandfather became a
bachelor again. :-)

As the person is linked now he has one daughter. Doing a search for his wife,
she is listed with her husbands (2) and all the children. I have been trying for
over an hour trying to find a way to trade the husband as now shown in the Tree
view, with the fully correct pair.

I can not find any help file to cover this problem. Maybe I'm just overlooking
it.

Cleadie B

According to info I received during a webinar last week, either today or
tomorrow (17th or 18th) FSFT is supposed to move from pre-pilot to pilot
with most all the features of nFS (ordinance reservation, combining,
uncombining, etc. FSFT is supposed to open to the public Oct 2nd.

Things don't always happen as expected but it sounds imminent.

Cleadie,

Family Tree data - names, dates, places, relationships - is exactly the
same as im nFS with the condition that that for the "vital" data
(name,birth, christening, death, burial) it has taken the selected Summary
data from nFS . . . and critically, FT has not got any of the duplicates
that were combined into any individual.

Indeed, you can change things in nFS and switching to FT see the results.

There is good instruction in using FT from the Help resources . . .
particularly useful is the "Quick Start Guide" which is almost being update
weekly if not daily sometimes - better to skip the first few pages and look
at the links to the more detailed help sections:

http://broadcast.lds.org/eLearning/fhd/Community/en/FamilySearch/FamilyTree/Quic\
kStartGuide/FT-QSG_LDS_EN.pdf

(there is also a non-lds version available)

I really appreciate the new features, including being able to set the summary
values, however I can't find how to set the marriage summary values. That would
be a useful tool. One other comment. On the tags, they used to show the colors
and now it shows numbers, and unless you choose a number you can't see what
color tag it is going to give you. Thank you,Margaret

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

New.FamilySearch.org does not allow a summary value to be set for a marriage
date/place.

After Family Tree replaces nFS, you can edit the marriage date whether or not
you added the original date/place.

I have no problem seeing both the number and color for the tags.

I would use the "cemetery marker" if I used an actual photograph for
the source of the information. I would use the "cemetery marker
(publ)" for a listing in a book or on a website (even find a grave) as
the source.

The photograph is more reliable than the published compilation, in my
mind (although cemetery records can still have mistakes, even
gravestones).

Tom

There are at least 2 explanations.

1. The grave is in the "Public Burial Area"

2. Many stones have the initials of the Monument Company on the stone, which is
another place to go and find information on the family. This is particularly
helpful if the cemetery is in a sparsely populated area. It is also very helpful
in large cemeteries for the same reasons.

While making a source for a marriage on Family Tree in Source Box, I got to the
point of saving and attaching to my relatives, and go back to the couple.
Instead it flashed "Go back to Maria Dorothea Humana" which is someone I do not
know.

I checked the source box and the source I just made was not there. I again made
the source and the same thing happened. Both times I used the GO Back link to
see if I could find what had happened, or to see if Maria had my source.

The third time I tried it, the same thing happened, so I hit the back arrow and
it went back to my relative, and Maria and my source were not connected to my
file, and again when I checked the source I just made was missing.

I then did a search for Maria Dorothea Humana - there were several - no source
showed up on any of them.

Gaylon,

Hopefully you can determine if this is me, or a setting problem.

At one time, I would run the tool to Generate ID numbers and the "Set
the ID numbers to match the FamilySearch PIDs". Then, when looking at
the individual edit screen, I would note that at the bottom of the
window, the FamilySearch ID appeared in its own field (left most) and
also in the ID #: field (right most). Then, a number of versions back,
that copying of the IDs stopped.

Is this something that I imagine happened a long time ago, or
something that broke and no one brought it to your attention, or
something else (a change in purpose for the ID # field)?

According to the help file, " Set to FS PID. If you are linking your
records to the records in the FamilySearch database, the FS Person ID
will already be recorded in your records. If you are also using PAF to
work with your records, you will not be able to see these IDs.
However, if you use this option, you can set the Custom ID of your
records to match the FS PID, and then you will be able to see this ID
in the CUSTOM ID field."

Is the CUSTOM ID field the same field as the ID # field, or is there a
checkbox that I don't have checked to display that field in the
individual edit screen?

Thanks, I'm using the most current version  of the program.

Tom

Tom:

When you use the "Generate ID Numbers" tool, this simply sets the IDs, using the
options you specified, as of right now -- the moment you run this tool. It does
not tell AQ to continue setting IDs in the future. So if you have linked 5
people in your file, then run this tool, it will set the IDs for 5 people. If
you later link 5 more people, only the original 5 will have their IDs set. When
you run the tool again, it will then set the IDs for all 10 of your linked
people, but when you link more people, their IDs will not be set until you run
the tool again.

I may have missed something, so if I don't answer your question, please ask
again.

Hi Gaylon,

The problem is that the set ID is not showing up in the ID# field,
even though it shows up in the FamilySearch ID field.

My question is whether or not it (the FamilySearch ID) should, since I
am running the tool to "Set the ID numbers to  match the FamilySearch
PIDs".

Also, the filter is set to All. If you want, I can send you my
database, and captured images of the windows.

Thanks for all you do,

Tom

Tom:

Let me make sure we are talking apples-apples. So what you are telling me is
that if you, right now, run the Generate ID tool to set the IDs to the NFS ID,
that it doesn't put the NFS ID into the ID field?

Hi Gaylon,

The problem is that the set ID is not showing up in the ID# field,
even though it shows up in the FamilySearch ID field.

My question is whether or not it (the FamilySearch ID) should, since I
am running the tool to "Set the ID numbers to match the FamilySearch
PIDs".

Also, the filter is set to All. If you want, I can send you my
database, and captured images of the windows.

Thanks for all you do,

Tom

you run the tool again, it will then set the IDs for all 10 of your linked
people, but when you link more people, their IDs will not be set until you run
the tool again.

That's correct. The ID in the FamilySearch ID field is not copied to
the ID# field when I run the tool. The field remains blank. I don't
know if my attachment will make it or not, but I've attached an image
with the two fields circled.

Just to be sure, I ran the Check/Repair and it came back with no
errors reported, so I don't think it is my database.

Also, I tried with the "set ONLY if ID is empty" both checked and
unchecked. Still nothing is copied.

I'm running the latest build of Ancestral Quest 14 (14.00.6 --
8/29/2012). I'm on Windows 7 64-bit home. The disk has 3917070400 KB
Free. My record counts are 15290 Individuals with 1 deleted record and
5630 marriages and no deleted records.

I have the same problem when I run AQ on a Windows XP 32-bit pro
system. I'm experiencing no other problems and everything (that I use)
appears to be fine. This is just something that I noticed started
maybe as far back as last year or even further. If memory serves me
correctly, the tool would copy the data from the FS PID to the ID#
field. I remember once that I decided to clear all the fields in my
database and that may have been when the problem started, but that's
been so long ago that I don't really remember it.

Thanks,

Tom

I've uploaded a copy of the window image with the two fields circled into
photos.
