    QUOTE (Virginia Blakelock @ 25 Nov 2011, 10:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Vernon -

    That census table format is a non-standard use of TMG and I don't necessarily recommend it. I use TMG primarily for research - with tabular output only (Family Group Sheets, Individual Detail reports, one-page charts) rather than narrative output like Journal reports which I expect 99% of TMG users prefer. My tabular format uses Copy Tag and split memos for a census - where each person in the census has their own census tag - instead of the Witness feature which is the more conventional way to enter census data.
    --------
    So, Virginia, is there a way to create a report that is similar to your table output? I just want a report very much like your tabular report, that shows each census year recorded for a person, and the people listed with that person. I don't want a narrative output either.
    It's way too late to go back and start redoing all the census entries for my families since I have them listed as a witness. But it sure seems there should be a way to print a report that would be similar to the Census tag entry screen where you list the husband and wife as primaries and the other people as witnesses.
    This may be in the other answers, but if so, they were not quite basic enough for me. LOL
    Thanks!

    When I click on the icon to start the program, it tells me that it can remove that icon for me since the program that the icon refers to is no longer installed on my computer. (Isn't it helpful?) When I go to the location of the program, which is in the c:Program Files directory, most or all of the other files are still there, but tmg8.exe is no longer there. The data files are not removed.

    I'm having a similar problem, but every time I reboot my computer, it deletes the tmg8.exe file and who knows what else. It tells me the program is no longer installed. I have reinstalled, multiple times, have had to (at times) completely remove and reinstall the program. In case you are wondering, yes, I am backing up my files every time I add anything at this point. I am using Windows 7 and have not had any problems until recently. Any suggestions? I get tired of having to reinstall and register and re-enter all my preferences, etc.

    I imported a gedcom file trying to save time entering some family data. I wanted it to be unlocked so I could remove some of the people and add more of my line. It never gave me the option whether to import it as locked or unlocked and the button is grayed out in the Data Set Manager. I have tried to figure out how to export some of the people to a new project, but that option is also grayed out. Is there any way to do this other than just manually entering this whole family into a new project???

     

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I got a FoxPro error message this afternoon and had to close the project. When I restarted the program, I added a new person, but in trying to add the Citation Source, I get the error message:

    ---------------------------
    The Master Genealogist
    ---------------------------
    Index does not match the table. Delete the index file and re-create the index. 56 TMGAPPOBJ.MREPPUSHS
    ---------------------------
    Abort Retry Ignore
    ---------------------------

    I deleted all the .CDX files and when I restarted the program, it indexed. But it is still giving me the same error as above.

     

    Next suggestion?

     

    Thanks!

    For an adoptive parent, the same basic rules apply. In that case, however, you would add an Adoption event where the adoptive parents are witnesses.

     

    No, it didn't answer my question. I don't care whether it creates a blood-relationship or not. I just want a Family Group Sheet that shows something like:

    Father: xxxxx

    Mother: xxxxx

    Father-Ado: xxxx

    Mother-Ado: xxxx

     

    I also want the children to be listed like the other children are on the adoptive parents' report. If those tags don't ever print, why bother ever using them at all?

     

    I don't have an Adoption event because I do not know that they were adopted for sure as they were "taken in" and took the last name of the family that took them. I don't have a date for when this occured. If adopted children are every much part of the family as birth children are, why treat them as a "witness to an event" rather than as "real" children.

    (I haven't explored if the other options like Adopted and Foster do the same!). Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you!

     

    I am using the Father-Ado and Mother-Ado tags for an ancestor. How do I get those tags to print in reports? Everything I have tried only shows the Biological parents. I want to show the Adopted parents also. I don't have an Adoption tag as I don't know that there was ever a formal adoption. I also want the children to show on reports of the Adopted parents. How do you do this?

     

    Thanks!
