    Thank You Jim!

     

    List of events works fine with me. This is a quick check report that just added marriages can be checked. I added even a quick button to my toolbar.

    I did use TMG Utility initially and made changes. However, after adding P1 and P2 to sentences, in my understanding TMG Utility does not change P1/P2 anymore. for data validity reasons.

    I use sex sensitive marriage tag sentence ie. P1 is always a male and P2 is always female.

    However, when marriage tag is added, P1/P2 can be mixed and by misstake I might forget to check it.

     

    Is there a possibility to make a Project Explorer list of Marriage tags where P1 is female?

    I could not figure out how but maybe someone has an idea.

     

    This could be tested with TMG Utility but refer doing it in TMG.

    Thank you Terry!

     

    Actually did it as you said. Also included witness sentence ie. "Her/his widow xx and yy married ...."

     

    Pagelink was for other use ie. when there is a story written, would be great to link people mentioned directly to their SS page.

    PS. Have few people married 5 times and would be great to cross reference all them in each others text. Have not done that yet :))

    Vera,

     

    not a big thing, mainly visual.

     

    I have added a sentence to a deceased person if his/her spouse remarried ie. "Widow of hers/his remarried with Mr/Mrs Smith in New York 2014".

    I believe it looks better than "Widow ..... in New York on 24.7.2014".

     

    But because for marriages which happened 1600-1700 I have many wedding dates with "say" or "circa". So if I would use [Y] "say 1665" would change to "1665" and that cant happen.

     

    Now I will use [D] but as mentioned would prefer [Y]

    Sentence variable [Y] is returning the year of the date.

     

    Year is also retuned in a case if date has circa, say etc., however the year [Y] returns does not anymore have circa, say etc. with it.

     

    If this is a purpose, there surely is a reason for it. I wish to see circa, say etc. returned as well

    Mike!

     

    Thank you very much for this help. Key element was sex based sentences. I was not aware (or remembering) of that.

     

    Now I have additional info at the wedding sentence refering back to if new spouse is a widow and to who he/she was married to. They can also be both widows and correct sentence show up in each one of their timeline.

     

    As extra to this, also deceased person has a extra sentence refering to widows new wife/huspand. That is a person link so reader can jump right to widows new spouse.

     

    I use both Journals but mainly SecondSite. I publish all in the net. SecondSite pages are very popular and get 3.000-4.000 visitors monthly. Nice to service them and give more info. In SS site I use 1 person per page format and all text gives more "meat" to the page. And people do not get confused about extra links because all is relative to main person on that page.

     

    Once again Thank You Mike for your help!

    One more tought/question Mike.

     

    If in wedding tag P1 and P2 always would be in certain sex order ie. like P1 always male and P2 always female (would work as long as Partners are not spoken about), also witness sentence could be done very nicely.

    In end of witness, after death, could read something "His/her widow XXX was later married....". This could be based on witness sex sentences.

     

    In my understanding this would work beautifully, but only of P1 and P2 sex is "fixed".

     

    And if I could recall right with TMG Utility rearrangement of P1 and P2 could be done. Can't check until TMG Utility is compatible with 9.03

    Very much so Mike.

     

    Of cause even better would be wysiwyg like

     

    Family story would be written like "At early 2000 family of Mike Hannah lived in Los Ranchos.......". Now link "Mike Hannah" will take one to "Mike Hannah's" data.

    Especially when using SecondSite as well that would be a great feature.

    Thank You again Mike!

     

    What I was meaning with my "relational link" was to use it in MEMO only. Exactly as you explained before, it is not always wise to make a role. Sometimes a quick add link in memo would do the job. Like typing a long note including persons in it. There a link would be nice to have.

     

    Tested the role in this marriage case and works fine. I am still thinking about the witness sentence. In this case if there is a sentence something like "After her death, Harry married Sally Green". Descendants might even find half cousins that way. :)

    One more thought Michael.

     

    How about adding witness roles like "Groom's earlier late wife" and "Bride's earlier late husband".

     

    Also a bit confused here what version 9.02 will do for "roles"?

     

    Peter

     

     

    PS. I already have in Death sentence widower ie. "Harry was widowed on 2000 when Sarah deceased." TMG gives a great possibility to add more info via sentences. Hopefully people use those.

    Need some help and ideas please

     

    I would like to have a

    XX sentence "XX married YY (widow of AA) on the ...." but

    YY sentence would look like "YY married XX on the..." or maybe even "YY married XX (widow of BB) on the..."

     

    And even better is someone has widowed several times, then list all previous spouses.

     

    Any ideas how to do it?

    Thank You Mike!

     

    Nope, that is not the case. In step 3 all those are checked (Only few unchecked ie. Spell checker, States and Colornames).

     

    However, "Timelines" is checked but DIMMED. I can not change it. Wonder what that means?

     

    If I recall this right had the same issue before when upgraded to TMG8. I am an IT guy myself and I use cheduled automated backup daily to external disk. I have this software configured the way that I take a backup of TMG8 Configuration_files and Timelines. Most probably because seen this issue before. Now do a separate back up of TMG9 files as well :)

    Hi!

     

    Just installed TMG 9.01. So far so good.

     

    By some reason Configuration _files and Timesline files did not copy.

    - Configuration_files folder file was complitely empty (In backup setup all reports is selected)

    - Timeline folder included only default files. I have made my own timeline files and my folder includes only that. And in backup setup this point is checked but dimmed.

     

    Now I am worried if backup is missing something else as well?
