This may not be as simple as you think. The Web Clipping will copy images; however, there are a couple of qualifiers. 1. It only works when the image is displayed within the internal browser of the Web Search window. Unfortunately, when you click on a match to FAG, FTM doesn't use the internal browser but rather opens the site in an external browser. You can get around this by copying the URL from the external browser and pasting it into the Address line of the Web Search work area. Then you need to click the right mouse button to select the Save Image As option. 2. The web clipping feature normally merges the selected information into the data base. This does not happen with the images. They are stored in the folder you specify but you must then use the Add Media item to create the thumbnail and the link to the media file.

I'm with you, I don't understand the concern. FAG is being run by its own management and there don't seem to be any policy changes to the contrary. The founder of FAG is still in charge except he now has time and funds to make long awaited enhancements to the site. I don't understand someone taking down memorials. If you object to the policies, simply transfer the memorial to someone. Why deprive someone of being able to find their relatives?

Nancy, I don't think there's a direct/instant attach function. Click on the photo when on the FAG page so you get the larger version, then right-click and "save image" to your computer. Copy it to FTM from there as you do any other photo. Check the profile of the person who posted the photo. Most seem to be giving permission up front for people to copy for their own use. There are a couple who are adamant that they don't want to see their photos on Ancestry. I wonder how these individuals handle the Ancestry purchase. (!)

I believe you are asking whether FTM provides an internal method for copying a photo from Find a Grave. The answer is no. However it is easily done as I do it all the time. Here is how I do it: 1. Go to the Find A Grave web page with the photo. 2. Click on the photo to open a larger copy. 3. Click the right mouse button and select Save Image As 4. A Windows Explorer window opens. 5. Browse to the folder where you want to save the image. I always save it into my FTM data base Media folder. This is the default folder containing all of you FTM media files. 6. Enter the name you want used. I normally name mine something like this, "Tombstone - Smith, John W 1900". The number is the year of death. 7. After the file is saved, return to FTM and to where you want to link to the media file. I always create a source-citation and link the photo to that source-citation. So go to the Sources work area. 8. Select the Source-citation. 9. Click on the Media Tab and select Add New. 10. Select the media file by starting to type the name e.g. "Tombstone -" A list will drop down. Keep typing until you see the file name. 11. Highlight the file name and click Open. 12. Assign any categories you want. 13. The photo is not linked to the source-citation which I have linked to the Burial fact. Although it seems like a lot of steps, it is really quite easy. I do a number of other activities to ensure I give credit to the photographer and to ensure I can find the photo such as including: * the Find a Grave Memorial URL into the new Source-citation URL address field. * the Memorial # in the source-citation Citation Text field. * information in the Media Description field to identify the subject, the name and place of the cemetery, credit to the photographer and the URL of the photo at Find A Grave. I hope that helps you with your decision. BJ On 2/2/2014 9:02 AM, Nancy wrote: > Is there a way to copy a picture from FAG to FTM 2011? If not, does > FTM have a fairly easy way to do this?

Is there a way to copy a picture from FAG to FTM 2011? If not, does FTM have a fairly easy way to do this? I might upgrade if this is the case. Nancy

First make a complete backup of your file so if you get unwanted results, you can revert to the original state. As I understand your problem, you have three individuals with multiple spouses when actually, they each have only one spouse. I.e. * Individual One has three spouses, all three are the same spouse but with different spellings of the names. For example: o Jane Smith o Jane Smithe o Jane Smyth If this is the case, you probably have three individual records - one for each of the Jane S. In this case, you need to examine each of the relationships to determine whether there are children involved. Are there different children for each relationship? The easiest way is to use Merge two specific individuals but after the merge, you want to review the children to ensure you didn't accidentally introduce duplicates of the children records. * You also have two individuals with spouse-less relationships. This is normally caused because you have children attached to one spouse but not attached to the other. In FTM 2014, I think the easiest way of handling this is to 1. Go to the People Tree work area for the person with multiple spouses. 2. Click on the spouse link in the Family panel and select the "No spouse entered" link 3. The display changes to show the individual with the child/ren but not spouse. 4. Click on the area that says "Add spouse" and input a name. 5. Select the new name and use "Merge Two Specific Individuals" to merge the new name with the existing spouse. This will link the children to the desired relationship and reduce the spousal count. I hope this helps.

You have merely added additional spouses when there is really only one. Correct the spellings to merge the correct one, and if the birthdate is exactly what you good one is, then FTM should prompt you to merge them automatically. Otherwise merge 2 people manually - see pages 263-265 in the companion guide.

Frank, Are these 3 spouse names in the index as unique persons? If so, you have the same person in the database 3 times and will have to merge them. If they're not in the index 3 times then does the person have 3 different marriage facts, once for each different name of the spouse? In this case you will need to edit that person to have only one marriage fact. There may be other scenarios that I haven't thought of.

Thanks Lorraine and BJ for doing the "legwork" to define the conditions. I knew it wasn't random but clearly a programming issue of some sort. I just didn't have the time to pursue it as I was recovering and updating the database before I totally forgot what I'd been up to. Yes, I realize the "preferred" can be changed temporarily. I was doing updates mostly across a generation in a broad family line, so it wasn't practical - but that also probably masked the conditions to some extent. Do you know what the current link might be to report issues? J.Hintz On 1/29/2014 10:46 AM, Derk & Lorraine Sherren wrote: > Actually there is a pattern, but not what you would expect.

Thank you that does indeed seem to be the pattern. It isn't based so much on the gender but rather which box you click on to return. If you click on the parents on the left (normally for the male) you are returned to the birth parents. If you click on the parents on the right (normally for the female), you are returned to the Preferred spousal relationship.
