What the message is saying it don't like where you have your data files. Did you use the default location when you set BK up or did you change it? My advice is to create a folder c:\BK\Data and copy your data files there and the point BK to them. After all is ok delete the original files.

We use ( Resided ) RESI to dentify where a person was living at a certain period, e.g. by information from Census and also giving information from birth protocol and marriage protocol and so on. That do not tell the movement of the family if nothing happened as mention above. We also miss the Tag and as many many more sources are available on net users of BKK want to note more fact to trace the family when moving around in the would, e.g. from Scandinavian we did have a lot of emigrants to USA and they did not settle down at the first place for their whole life. They did move around, e.g. from east to west. I agree; It seems we miss as tag to use for all the relocation a family does. E.G. Sometimes we find that the Family are mowing from Ellis Island, but we d ot find the family again. Mya be changed the name..

The main problem is when doing other type of presentation where using EXCEL or similar og Grafic presentation we take certain events as (Emigrated ) EMIG and ( Immigrated ) IMMI and use that for statistic information and noe of the Tag mention are to be used EVEN is a common Tag for many purpose and so are the other as well.

Hawaii become the 50th state of USA in 1959 People moved to and from Hawaii before and after 1959, but what events are used. Before 1959 they was two different countries and the emigration and immigration is OK to use, but what now? This are the same situation many places in also Europe where border of countries have changed and some times was separate countries and sometime different countries. Emigration are alright between countries, but what with greater move inside a country, e.g. also move from New York to Alaska. How to mark that? E.g. Norwegian and many other arrived at Ellis Island, but might travel through whole America to California, Minnesota or what ever. Emigration to Ellis Island and so a large travel through the whole America to the place where they (many be several years later settled down) in (to day) Houston.

To Tom Risinger I am not sure what is causing that error on your system. It might be caused by having some other programs running at the same time. Do you have other programs running when that happens, or only BK? It should not happen ever, even with other programs running (it does not for most users). If you restart BK and do the same copy, does it happen again, or does it work the second time? John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.

Although GEDCOM is an open standard, attempts by one program to extend its functions often meet with problems because other programs may not understand those extensions. In the GEDCOM 5.5 standard perhaps the only tags that would be appropriate would be the EMIG or IMMI tags to show emigration or immigration, or perhaps the EVEN, FACT or NOTE tags.

Otto Some time ago I believe there was some discussion on the topic of immigrate/emigrate. As I recall, you said you used the Resided event to cover in-country relocations. I now use Emigrated, to describe in-county relocations because it relates to a specific date of relocation, as in Event:Emigrated, Date: 1885, "FROM", Location/Description: Kansas to Nebraska, even though it is not grammatically correct. This would be opposed to Resided/Resided (family) which really only indicates that a person was living at a given place at a given time. This I used earlier when recording a relocation at a specific data and time - so my database does have some inconsistencies. It does seem a bit odd that there is not a gedcom standard for something like "Relocated" referring to an in-county relocation.

To Curt Miller I have not seen that problem. How large is your database (how many names)? When you are adding a new name and it is searching for the match, does it show the matching names, or are you pressing Enter before the matches show? Are you pressing Enter to try to select a name?

Using 6.5.5 of Brothers Keeper. Sometimes when adding a new person and the search is being performed to chose a name, if I press Enter before the search is done, then the program crashes with an error code 5. John, have you seen this problem? I do not recall it with earlier versions other than maybe 1 back. Regards, Curt

If I have two sources I trust (or mistrust) to a similar degree, and they give conflicting, as opposed to just one being broader than the other, dates: I enter two "Born" events. BK doesn't seem to mind! (I presume it picks one of them for reports etc.; I haven't investigated to find out. One would hope it's the first-listed one, but it might be the first-entered one.) I put the relevant sources in the S field, and usually some notes in the N field too, and hope to be able to delete one of the lines in time. -- J. P. Gilliver.
