Maybe I am just being blind or stoopid, but I can't for the life of me find any way to edit the individuals that I have already entered. A little help?
It is supposed to be possible according to the help page. But it isn't working as the instructions say it should. Instead I'm getting a pop up saying: "There is a genealogy project currently open. In order to proceed, it should first be closed".
That's contrary to the instructions - has anyone any advice. Many thanks.
Both gedcom are on my hard disk with version 3.0.0.820 of FTB. I opened my family tree, then under file I chose, import gedcom, in the first pop-up I selected 'gedcom' and not zip or ftl file type. I then clicked browse and selected the the .ged file. I then clicked next. That's when the popup appeared. Thanks very much.
Hi Shirley,
you are trying to merge the gedcom on FTB right?
In which step do you get the pop up?
do you have both of the gedcom on the hard disk or is one from the site?
If you can give more details I would be happy to help.
Respond to the pop up by saying Yes, thus closing the project that is open.
The next step in the pop up will be Gedcom header information and after that you will have a configuration window, it is at this window that you will see Output and the option to merge rather than creating a new genalogy project.
Inputting and displaying the diacritic marks should no be a problem, as long as you have the proper keyboard active (CS or SK) and that it sends out a representation that your browser can understand. (UTF-8 or Win1251) the problem is that the adobe distiller ( PostScript) does not have some of those characters defined and prints out a blank whenever is doesn't have a character to put there. The people at Myheritage should look at how the distiller is setup make it embed the corresponfing ISO Latin 2 character set.
It's not hard to do, I generate PDF in various languages all the time and have never had a problem with it.
Hello Myheritage support. Do you read these postings?
Thank you for explanation, but how to force them to make the things better ? They do not have any conctacting e-mail, only this chat which is probably not read. It is a pitty. Due to this my Ancestry books looks like terrible and it is a pitty.
I do not know whom and how to contact with our problem.
From the beginning, the thumbsized photo presentation was correct, but after about one month it started to show a black background with the actual photo in the upper left corner - reduced to less than 20% of the picture frame.
At first, the problem appeared only in a handful of pictures. Slowly, more and more pictures were contaminated and today most pictures have been converted to the new and very unprofessional-looking format. As you may see in the attached illustration, the actual pictures are too small to enable proper identification of the photo contents.
I have tested with two different computers. One with Windows XP professional, one with Windows Vista Home Premium. Both computers tested using browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6. No difference.
Anyone our there with an idea about how to solve this problem?
It looks like it was more or less fixed. The problem remained, however, in one single picture which was contaminated when shown as associated with a person in the Tree. When shown as part of the entire album, however, the picture was OK.
I tried several times to delete and replace it with a fresh copy, but the problem came back in the replacement . In the end, I just let deleted be deleted. I can live without that particular picture. Otherwise, I believe the problem has been solved.
Thanks for fast reaction to my message. Regards, Bjorn.
The picture is still in the album (online) - and there it appears to be normal. I only removed the association to my own name in the Tree. The association seemed to produce a contaminated picture.
The upload file name was "teachers.jpg", it shows 16 tagged people in front of a school entrance. If I right click on the enlarged album picture and select "save as", the file name appears to be "000007_634587fc761c94n8dmrk12".
Just wanted to know if there is a glitch in the email notification system. I belong to two Family Trees, one I have been a member of for over a year, and one I just recently started. I am set to receive emails and the email address is correct, so wanted to clear that up right away! :)
I used to receive notifcations frequently to let me know about birthdays, anniversaries, etc on the older site (1st Family Tree), but I haven't received anything for quite a while. I just visited the site and there are all kinds of new birthdays and such,,, just no longer receiving emails (neither is my sister, so it's not just me).
On the new site I created, I do not receive email notifications from there, either. I tried to print a family tree.... I was prompted that I would be emailed when it was ready.... guess what??? No emails! I just kept going back to the site so I could print when it was ready.
Why?
When I started this new tree, I informed Family Members that not only would we build our Family Tree, but we would all be notified of family events set as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries etc. It appeals to them because we are spread accross several states and don't stay in touch as often as we would like. I hope they don't see me as a liar, LOL!!
MyHeritage support did not read your advice. It is evident.
