I am a long-time user of TMG but have not been able to get it to work on a new Windows 10 computer that I purchased a couple of months ago. I think the problem is associated with OneDrive. In any event posts to this list as well as the Wholly Genes forum have not elicited a fix for my problem. I am now considering switching to another genealogy program as a last resort. Can anyone recommend a good program that would result in minimal data loss in importing from TMG?

Thanks, Lee. As you may have seen, I'm taking John Cardinal's advice to leave my obit tags as they are. Thanks for taking the time to reply while John's advice was "in flight".

Thanks, John and Donald, John, although I don't see much configurability in the audit report especially in this regard, I take your advice to leave my Obituary tags as they are. I'll just ignore the audit report errors for those 9 people and only look at those where they actually might be an actual audit issue.

Will it make a difference to Audit or other uses? As Donald Range said, the TMG Utility Event=>Change Event Type function should take care of you first question. As for your second question, changing those Custom Tag Types to Death/Burial Tag Types _should_ make no difference in most cases. The caveat is that a "normal" Death/Burial Tag is marked as the Primary Tag of those Tag Types. While an obit can be published the same day of a death, it often is not published until days later and in rare cases weeks or even months later. Having an obit Tag with this later date can be mis-leading if it is marked as the Primary Tag of the Tag Group. Just make sure that obits and similar Tags are non-Primary Tags. In this way, various charts/reports won't pick them up as the death or burial date/place and confuse the issue. Lee

Dick, I do not recommend changing the Tag Group for Obituary or other tags that are NOT death events or Burial events. I think the Audit report can be customized to handle the situation, though I forget how. Don't corrupt your data to make an Audit report more useful. That's the opposite of what you want to do. An audit report should help you correct your data, not corrupt it. John

Dick, TMG-Utility should be able to make the tag type change you describe. Check TMG-U's Events>Change Event Type menu selection. Re your secondary question, I have no info.

After seeing a posting earlier today about the Audit report, I decided to try it for the first(?) time. I notice that several people make it to the list due to "Death before non-death events." Those non-death events are commonly for 2 custom tag types of "Obituary" and "NewP-Obit" (Newspaper Obituary). "Back in the day" when I created those 2 tag types, I wasn't really in touch with tag type/group so they ended up as "Other Event" type. I looked at the master tag type list to see about changing the type for them but the tag type control is disabled preventing a change. I looked at TMG Utility (thanks John) to see if I could make the change there but apparently not. Do I have any other option other than deleting all of the events of those 2 types, deleting the tag type, creating new tag types in the Death or Burial group, and then recreating the tags? That option is manageable given existence of only 9 such events but I thought I'd ask here first. A secondary question is about using Death group or Burial group for these 2 tag types. Will it make a difference to Audit or other uses? Thanks. Richard

Now IF the result of the Check For Duplicates search is small (say, less than a couple hundred), one could use the Windows Print Screen or similar functions and copy/paste/print the results. This is cumbersome although, again, small results make it do-able. In my test of a project of 63 thousand, I had total results of about 330 candidate pairs. I then quickly (yeah! <g>) excluded about 250 leaving about 80 candidate pairs to really review. Using the Print Screen idea, I copy/pasted to my word processor and got a two page report. Keep in mind that 330 candidate pairs is really 165 candidat pairs because one candidate pair is always listed twice -- once with person A and person B, and a second time with person B and person A. This would be another request for change -- that pair be listed only once. >I do not see any way to configure Audit report to find Duplicates. Is >there a method that will? I would agree that the Audit report might help find duplicates, but more ancillary than direct. I would say that the sorting of the Audit report may increase this help. >Summary: The Find Duplicates tool seems worthless as it pays no >attention to the filter settings.

I would agree that the value of the Check For Duplicates function could be better with some changes. I suspect that the testing of the function may not have been as great as it should have been (as a beta tester, I admit that I did not test it much). Again, it works fairly well on smaller projects (and the filter option that the earlier versions did not have is somewhat helpful). A change to allow output to something like a picklist (which could be saved from session to session) would be helpful. Having over a small handful of candidate pairs almost alwasy means that a user must review the pairs over multiple TMG sessions. And while the Excluded Pairs remains between sessions, when the project is large, the search phase can take quite awhile (in my case, about 20-30 minutes). And, it may be necessary to exit the Check For Duplicate Persons function to do other things in researching whether a candidate pair are indeed duplicates. Then going back in to the function takes that time again. Note that excluding pair only eliminates then from the display and not excluded from the search phase. But, again, for small projects the Check For Duplicate Persons can be helpful. While it has its drawbacks, it is more efficient than taking each person in the project and comparing them with every other person. <g> Lee

Bruce & Lee, thank you for your responses. Bruce, Find Duplicates tool has no way to output to anything but screen as far as I can tell. I do not see any way to configure Audit report to find Duplicates. Is there a method that will? Summary: The Find Duplicates tool seems worthless as it pays no attention to the filter settings. My results finds many "duplicate candidates" where the given & surnames are both completely different than each other and it has nothing to do with primary names.

Jim The TMG Audit report will possibly identify some duplicates, but unfortunately it throws up lots of other "red herrings" like every lady who is recorded as having more than 12 children etc. One advantage over the Duplicates option is that you can output the report to Word, and then put it into 2 columns to save paper when printing. I also found that setting output to 12pt Arial gave a reasonable size text for checking. *Bruce Fairhall* On 01-Oct.-19 7:20 am, Jim Slade wrote: > I have no success trying to use Tool > Check for Duplicate People to > find identical people in the database.

Hi Jim - At 9/30/2019 17:20, you wrote >I have no success trying to use Tool > Check for Duplicate People to >find identical people in the database. Occasionally, working a One >Name Study, I will unintentionally enter same family twice, so their >info is identical and should be found with this tool. > >I configured a filter setting as restrictive as I can, but results >always find matches with different surnames, or one of them without a >surname, even thought the filter specifically set to NOT show those as >matches. This project only has one dataset, so wrong dataset is not >a problem. I am using TMGv9.05 > >Anyone see something wrong with this filter? >or know how to write a more restrictive filter? >I would appreciate any suggestions. I suspect that the problem is non-Primary names. I replicated your Configuration and ran it after the 50 person cut-offr, the Merge Candidate window showed the first seven candidate pairs. Two pairs showed persons A with a different surname than person B. Looking at the Details (essentially the Person View of both persons side-by-side), it is easy to see that they were indeed two completely different persons. One was Mary Oldham and the other Polly Challis. Polly had married Absolom Oldham and thus her Married Name was Oldham. Unfortunately, there is no optiono in the Check For Duplicate Persons to check for Primary Name only. Further on this is that the parent for both candidates are completely different. However, that only seems to be part of the problem as Mary and Polly are not identical Given Names. It is well-known that Polly is very often used as a nickname for Mary and most on-line searches consider this. However, This is the firsst time that I have seen TMG to consider it the same. For most cases of this usage, I find that the actual name is Mary and enter that as the Primary Given Name. In this one case, Polly is the Primary name. There is a non-Primary Name Tag (in addition to the Married Name), but it for "Dolly" -- seems like the early written records include one where the first letter appears more as a D than a P. In any case, I don't know that there is any way to resolve this problem. Having this, all I can suggest is that you can use the option to exclude candidate pairs. This does prevent them from showing in the Merge Candidates window is that option is unchecked. However, it has an idiosyncrasy in that the Show excluded pairs option must be checked before you can select a pair to be excluded. Personally, I have not found the Check For Duplicate Persons function to be useful in a large project (over a few hundred or low thousands). First, it takes a considerable time to run the function. Secondly, it always created large candidate lists which could not be reviewed to determine if the candidates were actually duplicates. It was requested that some method be provided to save the search results from session to session and/or at least the candidate list/ be printed or output in some way. However, that never came to be.

I have no success trying to use Tool > Check for Duplicate People to find identical people in the database. Occasionally, working a One Name Study, I will unintentionally enter same family twice, so their info is identical and should be found with this tool. I configured a filter setting as restrictive as I can, but results always find matches with different surnames, or one of them without a surname, even thought the filter specifically set to NOT show those as matches. This project only has one dataset, so wrong dataset is not a problem. I am using TMGv9.05 Anyone see something wrong with this filter? or know how to write a more restrictive filter? I would appreciate any suggestions. Jim My Filter settings are as follws: Configuration: Exact Match Summary: Disqualifying pairs all 3 checked Other: Circa means +/- 5 yrs Bef/after means +/- 10 years Update progress every 5% Stop after: 50 duplicates Surnames: must have identical spelling CHECKED Match if either surname is unknow: NOT CHECKED Given: must have identical spelling CHECKED Match if either surname is unknow: NOT CHECKED Birth: Years are with 2 years Death: not evaluated Parents: mothers & fathers have identical spelling CHECKED match if either parents given name unknown UNCHECKED Evaluate first name only (i.e., no middle name) CHECKED

Hi listers, The Southern California TMG users group will meet Sat Oct 5, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the SCGS Library. 417 Irving Drive Burbank, CA Everyone is welcome -- Patt Ricketts www.jackandpatt.com

TMG-L, SS-L, and Second Site News list members, I am dropping support for TMG v8.08 and previous. Second Site will continue to work with TMG v8.08 projects, but if you need me to repair your TMG project, it will have to be a TMG v9.05 project. I recently had to rebuild my PC after Windows 7 was destroyed by Windows Update. I chose to install Win10, and along the way I had to re-install all the programs I use. I installed TMG v9.05 and it is working fine. Under Win7, I had TMG v8.08 installed as well as TMG v9.05, but I am not going to install TMG v8.08 under Win10. I don't use v8.08 for any of my own projects, I only used it to help people who sent me TMG v8.08 projects. V8.08 is six years old and was replaced five years ago. It's time to let it go. As far as I know, I am one of only two people who can do repairs on TMG projects that go beyond what end users can do with TMG menu commands. For that reason, if you are still using TMG v8.08, I recommend that you upgrade to TMG v9.05. You can get a TMG v9 license from Harry Goegebeur if you do not have one now. John

Thank you all, in particular Michael and Lee, Yes the question was really how to present the names so they print elegantly. No surname and (--?--) prints. This was my issue. Although not 100% sure, I am well on my way with non-Primary Name tags. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Andrew, Others have offered suggestions about the various names of Edward, but as for entering all these names in TMG I suggest a set of non-Primary Name tags, probably using some custom Name Styles.

Jim, The option to include spouse events is on the Miscellaneous tab of Report Options. But that choice is disabled when the NEHGR format is selected on the General tab. Choosing Custom format enables this and the other options. When you use the Custom format and include Spouse Events you will get all qualifying spouse events, not just BMDB. It's also possible to handle special cases by including particular events in a spouse's narrative as witnessed events. For example, if Mary is a descendant of the report's lead progenitor and she is John's first spouse, John's events will be included if the option to include spouse events is chosen.
