Hi - was going to update the pc viewer to premium - and this option is available to me-
It adds a good bit to the price, and Im only interested in Ireland data - which is a bit hit and miss with
some of the other sate resources Im using.
"NEW: Historical Records Collection - one year access to huge data collection. Birth/marriage/death/census/newspapers/military/much more, covering 4 billion names in USA, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and 50 additional countries"
So could anyone tell me what exactly are the *Irish* data sets that are available in this addon?
(The data sets Im especially interested in having a peek at for Ireland are:
1851 Dublin City Census
Complete Catholic Registry, Directory 1837
Index of Irish Wills, 1484-1858
William Smith O’Brien Petition
as well as the usual birth records etc.
)
or...
Is there any trial period? Day or so to have a browse before I buy??
It is World Vital Records at www.worldvitalrecords.com. I added it to my Premium memvership but haven't tried it out. I did have a membership there a few years ago and never used it, I found the search cumbersome. Having said that I thought I'd give it a try.
If you look on their website you can check on which datasets they have.
When I started my family tree, I decided I'd better use the International Standard Date and Time Notation to avoid problems with e.g. different spellings of the month names, different order of writing dates in different countries (in some countries they put the month first, in some the day, which cause confusion when the day is less than 13) etc.
Today I got a tip - someone had a relative in common with me. Very nice, I thought, and proceeded to check the match out. Everything looked OK, except the date, which was "the other way around", i.e. the month had become the day and vice versa. When I checked all my other entries, I found this had happened to ALL OF THEM! When the day was a higher number than 12, the site had simply thrown out the date altogether (the software probably saw an illegal date, and couldn't handle that...).
This is, to put it mildly, highly annoying! All my date entries are now messed up, and I have to do all my work over again.
Why the heck don't you use the International Standard? It would be SO SIMPLE to base everything on this, and then allow the user to see and enter the information in whichever format he/she is comfortable with.
Now my family tree is badly contaminated with dates that has reversed month/day settings. No wonder my research has been so hard.
You simply can't do this kind of transformation on the web without notifying the user. Not only is it a bad assumption to do that the user has got things wrong, the behavior is also inconsistent. Would you correct the names of our ancestors too without telling us?
One of the golden rules for web designers is supposed to be:
"Never assume everyone on the web lives where you live having your customs. "
So why don't you please let us all know the answer to Torbjörn's question?
When I created a book for myself, there is information in a section entitled "Indirectly Related via Ella Pittman (Hines)" There are three topics:
Generation of Eunice's Grandchildren: I have no grandchildren. The people listed are my cousins (Ella's children).
Generation of Eunice's Chidren: the two people listed are my cousin and her son.
Generation of Eunice's Peers: My Aunt Ella's ex husband. The line indicates that Allen is Ella's husban, although I have indicated that they are divorced.
I really need help as to why the information was generated this way. There is nothing different about the information for Ella or her children are entered into the tree.
There is one difference in the entry: The child listed under "Grandchildren" is Ella's child by Allen (not my cousin). therefore, a child born outside the family (blood).
How can I keep this information from showing up in the book this way?
I am unable to properly logout form myheritage... when I click logout, the login page appears, but if I enter url of my family tree page I am still logged in - tried in FF, IE and Chrome.
Probably cookies are not cleaned properly since when I disable them I can logout.
I find it very peculiar that, when having edited several persons in a family, and finding just one person in the very beginning of the tree misplaced, I shall have to delete every one connected to him before deleting the "wrong" person.
There must be a possibilty to remake the program and make such a change possible.
I've found this annoying several times too. Only other way I know of is to "disconnect" some of the people, then connect them again once you've deleted the person you want to get rid of.

Hello Eric, and thanks for your help. However I wonder how to disconnect? Will you, please, explain?
Fastän jag har lagt in alla namn i mitt släktträd i Family tree builder och sparat, så står det "Okänd" på många personer i släktträdet på Min website. Varför???
Man kan använda ett sekundärt språk. Om man då bara fyller i det ena kan detta uppstå (beror lite på inställningar vad jag kan förstå). Beroende på vilket språk som används när man sedan tittar kan det i ena fallet finnas namn och i andra fallet står det "okänt". Det är den förklaring jag fått när jag klagade på de smartmatchar jag fick där det stod okänd. Jag skulle då byta språk var svaret även fast jag bara använder svenska.
Har inte förstått vitsen med att även namnen ska översättas. Anders = Anders i alla språk utom möjligen när andra alfabet typ Krylliska (grekiska/ryska) används. Att viss tilläggsinformation ska översättas kan jag ju förstå.
Jag har fått liknande instruktioner via mail från supporten som dina, men inget hjälper. De skrev bl a;
"Längst ner på skärmen finns en ruta "Denna person är privatiserad (inga offentliga uppgifter på nätet).Avmarkera rutan och publicera ditt släktträd till din släktwebbplats."
Men den rutan hittar jag inte. Finns den på websiten eller på Family tree builder? Supporten behagar inte svara. Kanske nån här som vet?
Kan ikke hjelpe deg med spørsmålet, men jeg har også samme problem som deg. Har tenkt å stille det samme spørsmålet selv i dette forumet. En grunn jeg har tenkt på ...... Selv om jeg er hoved-administrator og er ansvarlig for min Web-side så står den kune "side-administrator på min web-side. Har lurt litt på om det er grunnen. Har krysset av for ikke å publisere levende personer, og da skulle det stått "privat" og ikke "ukjent". Kan det være det samme for deg kanskje?
Jag är också svensk användare av MyHeritage och jag har samma problem som jag ser att många andra också har, med namn som faller bort och istället blir Okänd. Jag har kollat att rutan "privat" Inte är markerad OCH jag har också kontrollerat att jag har samma språkinställning på båda ställena, ändå kvarstår problemet. Mycket frustrerande! Kan det röra sig om en bugg i er svenska version? Jag har kollat supportsvar och forum både på engelska och svenska men inte hittat andra åtgärder än just dessa två. Har du något annat förslag? Kolla gärna hur det ser ut påhttp://www.myheritage.se/site-64831611/uvemark Tacksam för hjälp! Mvh Elinore Uvemark
