I made the mistake of separating the Cemetery name from the place name when I merged several of the same place names. I saw the place name (city, county, State) had been merged until there was just one place. But when I looked there were almost a dozen cemeteries all together. I do have the source but it is a pain to put all those people back in their cemeteries.

Cann Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 12:21 PM To: RootsMagic Users List Posting Subject: [RMagic] Printing a "place detail report" Is there any way of printing out a report with the same options as with a place name (including photos especially), but for a place DETAIL? In other words, we've had the capability to do it with a city name all along but not a cemetery within that same city that is entered as a place detail. I am about to report this as a recommended program enhancement, but before I do want to make sure I am not missing the capability to print place detail reports somewhere. For weeks (months?) now, I have been using that wonderful little tool Bruce gave us to split my 5,500 place names and show cemeteries and the like as place details, but I have recently realized that doing so also removes the possibility of printing out a printed report for the cemetery or other place detail that used to be a place name. I can no longer print a listing of a given cemetery when I go to visit, or an album of pictures ONLY for a given cemetery, and that IMHO is a very large step backwards. I understand the cemetery can be included in a normal place name report along with the city place name, but that is not the same thing. I hope someone out there will straighten me out and tell me how to print a report on a place detail identical in options to a place name. Otherwise, I will ask the RootsMagician to include it in a future enhancement. David E.

I found out there was a glitch in the search using select people from a list with source of FindaGrave Website. Instead of a number I would believe I had done, i get results of over 8000 names and some of thes have no death date. I can't discover why this happens.

Lloyd I use the source as Find a Grave.com. I also have a fact set up foor FindaGrave. On the edit page select this and I use description for the Memorial number with the date I copied info. Under notes I paste the owner/care taker info. This fact can be sorted as well as my earlier less detailed sources. Using the tombstone picture with the pix owner or taken by info in the pix description. FindaGrave memorials are getting quite detailed in I found one with his 13 children, buurial locations along with their children and spouses of each. When I don't want all those in my database or lack time, I copy and paste the list under notes of the marriage. This puts a future research list on both parents. Finding this much on a family can get time consuming in downloading pix and details. Allow time. Oh I put a Flower on those I have visited and copied both for a marker and a memorial o my own to the deceased. Jon *** .

Maybe you should try to add the death and burial fact sources to your search. The Source(general) only lists sources for the individual, not for any of the individual's facts.

Is it possible to insert a page break at the beginning of, or before, a specific child in a family group sheet?

Jon, There were 33 of them, but it is resolved now by changing the entries one at a time. This was caused when I made the original place entry of a church and verified the location, but unknowingly used the MAILING address, and that was in another small town nearby. By the time I realized it, I had made 33 entries so was hoping of finding a way of moving the place detail to the correct town, but there is no way of doing it that I can find. To be honest, this is a nearly unique set of events that will likely never come up in the same way again, so little if any need for the capability in the first place. Just looking for a shorter solution to my problem, but it's all moot now because I've now moved all 33 entries to the correct small village and deleted the place detail from the small village that apparently now delivers mail to them. <sigh> David E.

That's a perfect use of a batch file. Batch files are plain text files with the ".bat" extension and they are executable. So you might create a batch file named "genealogy.bat" with your desired commands. I don't know what version of Windows you're using, and I'm not terribly familiar with the latest versions (since I use a Mac), but a batch file is a script (plain text) file that contains commands, which can include commands to open specific programs. Whether the specific programs can open a specific document from the command line argument depends on the programs, but at the very least, you could have a batch file that opened RM, the text editor, etc. The commands to include in the batch file would be essentially the same as that in the various shortcuts you use to open the programs individually. An example of a command line to open a text editor with 3 files named file1, file2, file3: "C:\Program Files\Editpad\EditPad.exe" file1 file2 file3 To open the IrfanView program with specific files: "C:\Program Files\IRView\i_view32.exe" file1.jpg file2.jpg So you might start out with a batch file with three lines like this: "C:\Program Files\Editpad\EditPad.exe" file1 file2 file3 "C:\Program Files\IRView\i_view32.exe" file1.jpg file2.jpg "C:\Program Files\RootsMagic\RootsMagic.exe" For details on batch files, google "batch file tutorials" and you'll find lots of help, such as this: http://commandwindows.com/batch.htm Hope this helps.

So here's a question. I'm looking for a one-click desktop. When I sit down to work I open several applications. It's no big deal, but it would be nice if I could just do a 1-click and open them all. I open a file manager, RM, a text editor, an image editor, and a browser, and ideally they would all open to specific folders or files.

There is no direct way within RM. If there is only the one place detail, you could edit the place name to what you want or merge it with the right place.

Before I move a place detail one entry at a time to a different place name, is there any way of transferring or moving it from the current incorrect place name to the correct one taking all fact entries with it? Of course, Murphy's Law being what it is, I had to do this with one of the place details with thirty some entries in it. I'll move them all one fact entry at a time if that is what's required, but I cannot find any means of doing it otherwise. I was afraid this would happen someday. I just discovered the mislocation of one of my more common place details. :-( David E. Cann decann@infionline.net
