John, Why make a copy of the Project? In order to do that you have to define those to be copied, for example in a Focus Group, and when you've done that you can use that to make a GEDCOM of just those people. As to completing the focus group, if you really mean her complete family that would include all the descendants of those shared ancestors, which I gather is most of your Project. You probably mean some sort of limit on how complete the file is to be. If all you want to add is the siblings of one or more ancestors, you take your existing Focus group and select that person's father or mother. Then use the Add Others feature to add Descendants for one generation. Or, if you want, more than one generation but not all the generations in your project. Once you have the Focus Group as you want, open the export wizard and specify the Focus Group as the people to include at Step 4. Terry Reigel

I have lumped both my Wood and my wife’s Gray families into one project containing one data set. This arrangement works fine most of the time. However, I have promised to send a GedCom of just the Gray family ancestry to my wife’s cousin, so I’d like to create a separate project (or maybe a separate data set?) containing only my wife’s Gray family genealogy. The matter is complicated by her descent from siblings in many different families. I assume that the way to do this is to create a focus group containing just the Gray family, which I did. However, the focus group I created contained only the direct ancestors, spouses and descendants of the targeted individual. That’s fine as far as it goes but, I also want the siblings of the targeted individual to be included. In other words, I want a complete copy of just my wife’s portion of my project. Making a copy of my project and deleting my ancestors would work, except for the fact that we share many of the same ancestors. Any suggestions? John Wood

Hi Michael, The generations were set at the default--and even if I had limited the number, wouldn't it then choose the closest generation rather than the second closest? The relationship calculator figures us as 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th cousins but the Kinship Report only showed us as 6th. All of the relationships descend through my cousin's two Norwegian great-grandparents and through my two maternal Norwegian great-grandparents (if I remember correctly, one relationship comes through my great-grandfather and the other three through my great-grandmother, and I think it's a three and one situation on my cousin's side as well). I can check the Primary settings but will be surprised if they are wrong (still, you never know). Thanks, Karla Karla Huebner calypsospots AT gmail.com On Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 1:13 PM, Michael J.

I put in each person in the Bible, making that many more people in the set - then when I can combine them I move them to the proper parents tag. Hope that makes sense. TMG doesn't care how many people are in the project - and "unrelated" works until you know just who they are.

Karla Huebner asked: > I've got a couple of relatives who are simultaneously... > my 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th cousins. However, when I ran > a Kinship report, they only appear as my 8th cousins Hi Karla, Since you clearly specified the option to include cousins, did you perhaps limit the number of generations? The only other thing I can think of is whether the alternate linkages involve a parent/child relationship which somehow has not been set as Primary for that parent/child? TMG only follows Primary parent/child relationships to determine kinship. Hope this gives you an idea, Michael

I am glad to finally see the Archives are again available. However, I do not see this reply I sent concerning the following topic, so am resending it assuming it got lost somehow. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [TMG] Project Comparison Date: Sun, 07 Aug 2016 14:08:40 -0600 From: Michael J. Hannah <mjh@nm.net> Don Lake asked: > I have two projects totaling about 24K people. > I know that there many people common to both projects... > How/what is the best way to compare these projects > to identify those common to both so I can update all? Hi, Don, I see this as two separate issues: a) find the duplicates in both projects b) identify the differences in the data for those duplicate people. Issue a) As others have suggested, the only automated way I am aware of to identify duplicate people is with the TMG tool, as that will include the dataset number as part of the ID. But that does not produce a list or otherwise aid in any automated "Flagging" of those people. *If* you intend to maintain separate projects which contain duplicate people, I highly recommend that once you identify them you define a FLAG in both projects which can be set to indicate these people. That will greatly aid in the second issue. One additional suggestion that "might" help to identify duplicates, is to use a special feature available in most word processors, such as Word. I have not tried this but you might run two TMG reports, one on each of the Projects, being careful to include all people and using the identical report options, especially sort order. To locate duplicates you might simply use List of People reports with sufficient appropriate columns to identify people uniquely. But don't include any output which is likely to be different simply because they are in different projects (e.g. ID). [You might run two copies of each report, one "without" IDs for comparison, and one "with" to later aid in locating people in their projects.] Select the output for both of these two reports as a word processor file (e.g. Word). Now use the built-in feature of most word processors to "compare" what are "expected" to be two versions of the same document. Using the word processor facilities you would identify the lines which have "not" been changed, deleted or added (i.e. are identical in both reports), which are likely the duplicates. Still a bit tedious, but this might? help. Issue b) Once you have identified them, be sure to FLAG these duplicate poople in both projects. Now any time you want to know the differences in their data you can again run two TMG reports to word processor files but filtered in both projects for only these duplicate people. I would probably use Individual Narrative reports, being careful for this report to include all tags and using the identical report options. Again you can use the built-in feature of most word processors to compare what are expected to be two versions of the same document. The word processor search facility can be used to jump to the next "change", and thus locate all differences. Also a bit tedious, but can be used to identify what needs to be synchronized between the two projects. Hope this gives you ideas, Michael

Ann Shepherd wrote: > I can't find information anywhere about exactly what minimum > size image SS requires. Does anyone know? Ann, SS does not have a minimum image size. It's up to you. For images displayed by a web browser, DPI doesn't matter. The key measure is the number of pixels. Any image that is wider than the current browser window will require the visitor to scroll the browser window horizontally to see the portion of the image that is not visible, and you typically want to avoid that. For that reason, don't exceed the width of the average monitor for linked exhibits (exhibits that are shown on a dedicated page in SS). For embedded exhibits, such as the primary image for a person, you often want to use something fairly narrow, perhaps two or three hundred pixels. See these help pages for information about exhibits: http://ss.johncardinal.com/exhibits.htm http://ss.johncardinal.com/secexhibits.htm > It looks as though I'll have to work through these PNGs > one by one as they're all different sizes. 450+ TMG Utility has the Export Images feature which you can use to make resized copies of TMG exhibits. Those can be placed in a special folder so that SS will use the resized versions while leaving the full size versions intact. See: http://www.johncardinal.com/tmgutil/exportimages.htm and http://ss.johncardinal.com/secexhibits.htm#alternateimagefolder > I don't understand why tiffs download rather than open on screen in SS. SS is following the rules of HTML. There are dozens if not hundreds of image file formats, but the HTML specifications only designate three as being eligible to be embedded on a web page: JPEG, PNG, and GIF. For those types, SS will create an IMG tag so that the image appears on the page. Any other image file types are not valid for use with the IMG tag, so SS creates a link to the image file. It's up to the browser to determine how to handle the link, and most browsers will download the resulting file and open it using whatever application it thinks is best. John

Most likely, your PNGs have headers specifying that the image is to be displayed at some small dimensions. Most JPEGs I've encountered are set for monitor display of 72-96 pixels per inch. But given an image set for print resolution -- 300PPI -- a browser that attempts to honor that would result in rescaling to a small display (at 300PPI, a 300x600 image is only 1x2 inches, but at 100PPI would be 3x6 inches). >Can I batch convert all of these pngs to jpgs?

Web browsers typically handle only three image types: GIF, JPEG, and PNG. Anything else is just a data file to be downloaded to the end user. Personally, PNG might be the desired form. GIF only supports 256 discrete colors -- good for detailed line drawings, but lousy for true photos. JPEG supports full color, but at the cost of details.

I've got a couple of relatives who are simultaneously (assuming the paper trails are all correct, but they are DNA relatives) my 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th cousins. However, when I ran a Kinship report, they only appear as my 8th cousins and their father as my 7th once removed.

There is no easy way. But there are many ways depending on what you want. If you must keep both projects separate, and assuming that the number of persons common to both projects is small (say a thousand or less), then you might try a one to one comparison by opening both projects (at the same time) -- each in its own session window. Then re-size each session so that you can place them side by side for easy viewing of both projects. Then with the same persons showing in the two windows, you can compare and update as needed. Even with a small number (say just 50), this process may take quite a while. About the only other way would be to merge the projects. this gives you two data sets in one project and allows easy copying from one data set to another. The data sets are still completely separate. The only difference is that instead of having a Smith project and a Jones project, you have say a Holding (Smith project renamed) with a Smith data set and a Jones data set. The nice thing about the multiple data set single project is that you can use the Check For Duplicate People (CDP) function on the Tools menu. You can define what a duplicate would be as closely or as loosely as desired. You might have multiple runs of the CDP function with different filters to take care of most of the common persons. Then you could do the one on one comparison of the remainder. I do not know your reasons for having two separate projects. I have some projects that I do want separate (mostly small each less than a hundred people and usually only lasting a few months before they are archived with rare re-opening). But for the majority of my data, I have everything a in a single project and a single data set. I do extensive collaborations with other researchers and find it easy to extract just those of interest to any one researcher for data exchange. Occasionally, I will create a second (or more) data set(s) of small groups for temporary use -- primarily for analysis and report writing. After I have finished with one of these small temporary data sets, I delete it. I never do updates to one of these small data sets and do all updating to the main data set. At the present time, my main project has some 60 thousand persons which include my and my wife's extended families and ancestors. In addition, it includes many (very) extended connections. These are often people that are not related at all, but have children or grandchildren that have some kind of connection to a family. As I said, there is no easy way and the best way is what you decide. All with take time and effort. The nice thing is that if one way doesn't seem to be as good as you think it should, there are other things to try. Lee
