I have a few photographs I want to add as media. not all together with the rest of my pictures in the media file, which is already in a bit of a mess. Can I order these into different files with perhaps details of each picture attached (to each picture or set of pictures) and still be able to call them up to the each name. Roger

Hi Ira I came across a situation while publishing a electronic data file. After producing the file in a separate folder and then trying to open the file I got an error message listing a number of reasons why the program could not find the file I had just produced. After clicking the OK button a dialog box opened listing the file I wanted to view. Click on the select button and the file was opened and things were just fine. Although each time I wanted to view the file using the electronic viewer the error message would come up. Here's why. I have two databases, dataA and dataB. DataA is set to open automatically when CFT opens. When I created the electronic file for dataA the electronic file viewer worked fine. When I created the electronic file for dataB and tried to open it is when I got the error message. I suspect the information to open dataA automatically was carried forward in the dataB file producing an error message when the electronic viewer could not find the dataA file, ! the files were produced in separate folders. When I deselected the automatic opening option the program worked fine for both files. To avoid the dialog box that asks which file you wish to view, the automatic opening option was selected for each database prior to producing an electronic data file. Jerry

Thanks for mentioning the system date error George, that would have really messed up my backups!... Dang kids! What I was getting at was... if the deleted IRN wasn't just put back on top of the list of usable IRNs, where was it's position in the line-up of available numbers. A line-up is a queue, but I'm pretty sure you knew that part. I have sometimes merged two people into one, and the now unused IRN was not assigned to the next new person I added to my database. I assumed the list of available IRNs wasn't really a list, but rather just generated from the last used number and the deleted IRN was then randomly inserted in a list of re-useable numbers, or gone forever. No worries. I have enough problems just entering data without worrying about what number is assigned to whom. But that's just me. It may mean a great deal to someone else.

All depends on which report. Some reports show only standard information. Some reports you can change the default events. I do not think there are any reports that have divorce as a default event. Some reports will print all events (like Family Group Report). If you still cannot discover how to do it , let us know which specific report you want divorce to show up on.

The "+" before a name usually means a "spouse".

Hello Listers In CFT the + indicates there is additional information about this person further in the story. eg Mary and Stephen had the following children: 46.+ i. John Bonus CHILD 47. ii.

Ron, In a dutch relations family record circa 1986 have seen the + used as a crucifix as in death, * was used as birth and 00 used as married. 0/0 was used to indicate number of children.

Just another thought: If you have an alternate name you can also input: George R. /Blough ook Blauch/. The benefit is that both names (Blough and Blauch) show up seperately in the name search window. This is handy if the alternate name is quite different. The draw-back is that also the name 'ook' shows up in the name search window and i do not know what it does to the gedcom standard. You can even use multiple name/ook's combinations! I use the word 'ook' because it is Dutch for 'also' and i do not know anybody with that surname. Any word (or single character) will do as long as it is not one of the 'exempt surnames' (in database configuration options¦names). Maybe this is even an idea for Ira to implement in an update of Cumberland. Designate a special character for using alternate names (for instance '&') and exclude this character as name in amongst other, the name search function. (I now this is not the answer to the original question. Its more an response to what Ira wrote.) regards Jos Weijenberg ------------------------------------------------- zie header voor mijn emailadres ------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ira J Lund" <ira.lund@cf-software.com> To: <CFT-WIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [CFTW] Name spellings > No other special tricks. > > I sometimes write alternates in parenthesis: George R. /Blough (Blauch)/ > But I do not think there is any standard. > > Ira > ------------------------------------------------ > Mr. Ira J.

I assume that there are only SOME sources you do not wish to divulge - say "UK Prison Records 1935". In this case the event may well be sensitive and could be excluded in the Export process. 1. I would do a restore of a backup file, with a new name. 2. I would remove any sources not wanted using Source Editor. 3. I would then do the GEDCOM export.

Hi Ira, Mike My source references are mostly to a personal archive and do not mean anything to anybody else. This is the main reason for deleting the sources. I like your idea about first making a copy of the file and then remove (with the source tool) all the sources i do not want to export. (Saves me to make an extra gedcom ex- and import. And copying the origan file via backup/restore goes faster.) Still i appreciate it that Ira is putting this function on the wishlist. Thanks for the help. Regards.

Hello, Every now and then i give somebody a gedcom file of (part of) my family tree. In some cases i do not like to give too much data. The export function of Cumberland does give the capability to exclude data like 'notes'. If i also do not want to include source data i first make an export to gedcom, then i import this file again in Cumberland and remove all the source data (with the source tool). Finaly i export this cleaned up file to make it available to interested parties. The question i have is; is there an easier way to do this? And if not (a question to IRA); Is it possible to include a new checkbox in the Gedcom export function (in the option 2 tab); 'Include Individual and Event sources'.

Any tips on how to handle name differences. The one I am working is BLOUGH vs. BLAUCH. The surviving name appears to be BLOUGH, so I am putting the full name as an alternate. Thus name: George R. /BLOUGH/ alt: George R. /BLAUCH/ I am doing this only for the generation where the change appears to have occurred, then carrying it back, but not forward.
