In the reports eg. ancestors you can deside if sources should be included as endnotes or fodnotes. But it is only the titel of the source there are included.
It would be great if it will be possible to make a report or an option to the fodnote/endnote, with the source title as headline and then all the informations about the source. Like text, notes, pictures, repositories.
And the options to show all names attatch to the source.
Something like the "Index of Places" and "Sources" in the "Book Report"
I have problem after I installed FTB version 5. In FTB suddenly name's are missing. When I published it to my website I sometimes getting unknown name in my website. I delete the name and start again and perhaps it's alright after that.
When I exported it to GEDCOM-file from FTB all names are gone.
It seems to be the language settings which give my problems. I have not changed it but suddenly it running in english in stead of danish. When I changed to danish I can see all my data. I hope it is my problem. I will give 1 or 2 days to see about it solve my problem
I am new here, find it cool here, i would like to make my own family tree and maybe one day find also grand-grand-grand parents...but am a bit confused..
first, I added my profile, but the problem is, that I clicked something (name Helena Petrlikova) and it added some people to my family tree! Now it thinks that I am Helena Petrlikova born in 1926 (think was it), have children and so on...how to delete it without deleted something in real Helena Petrlikovas family? hm
When i see someones tree, one can add children, sisters...but how do I add my family to my name?
To fix your profile at this site, please enter the site - go to the tree and add yourself in a right place- add it to your parents.
Then add all the correct information, your email adress and photo.
The most important step:
Go back to the homepage, go to "site members". Next to your profile click on "more" and then "fix relationship".- write your correct name (the one you added in a right place).
Now your profile is attached to you!
You can then add you close family to your profile in the tree the same way!
I have a site and after that my brother looked in it on the website he said that there was some errors in my tree. When I looked in Family Builder 5 program everything looked OK, but when I looked in the website it did not show the same as in the Family Builder program. Why? I have tried to update the site, but the problem is still the same. There are errors in the names of some people in the tree on the website and also dates are wrong, but everything is correct in the Family Builder program.
Do you only have one tree you publish to on-line? I know when I was a rookie two years ago I inadvertently made an additional tree, which I had to delete.
I see the same thing. I get a green circle smart match when I add somebody and I am excited to see so many matches, only to find that the same person has about 50 of the same tree due to republishing so many times.
I had a similar problem recently where I had added photos and email addresses for family members in FTB but the info did not update to my website, and the screen did not pop up for me to invite the new members to the website after publishing. I tried to contact MyHeritage support using the "request support" bubble that pops up at the bottom right of the online website but I never received a reply from that either.
Anyway, I cannot explain it but after a period of days or weeks, suddenly the box popped up after publishing, and I was able to invite the new members to my website.
So I hope this info helps you troubleshoot, but also, I am concerned that the support feature is not working properly. Thanks for your help.
I have the latest version of Family Tree Builder (V5.0.0.1168).
When editing place names (View / Places / Where Used if one "opens record" and edits the record there (which is sometimes necessary to get the correction done) the program sometimes crashes. I have let the system send its error reports so you should have them.
my father purchased Family Tree Builder Premium with the intention of creating an online family tree through FTB, updating/publishing the website from FTB - and eventually allow other family members to make changes in the family tree. After a bit of research it turns out that family trees created through FTB can NOT be edited online :S
However, in this article it says we can export & import a "GEDCOM", and thereby make the family tree editable online. It seems easy to do so.... but if we do it also seems like my dad will have to stop using FTB, and stick to only making updates online afterwards? I find it a bit strange if changes can not by synchronized both ways, allowing my dad to continue using FTB to build the family tree, and import changes made by other family members online into FTB ?
I assume we can keep exporting and importing GEDCOMs, both to and from FTB & the online tree... But let's say my dad i.e. adds 10 new family members in FTB, then imports a GEDCOM from the online tree to get the online changes made by others imported to FTB: Will the new members he added then be overwritten/deleted ?
Both FTB and the online tree seemed fine up until we figured out that there is no synch both ways. I would appreciate if you guys can give a detailed reply on the best solution to our problem. My dad wants to continue using FTB now that he has learned it, and find the easiest way for other family members to edit the family tree.
