  1. DNA, SS & TMG

    I would be grateful for any hints on using the TMG DNA fingerprint facility, which I will be using in conjunction with Second Site. Other than the TMD help pages, are there any FAQ's or web sites I can view? Pat Dunbar
  2. [TMG]Relation Problem

    Hello Paul & Svhous,' Many thanks for your kind assistance.. I used Go to File > Preferences > Current project > Other and click on the refresh button, and it worked. I have been using TMG since floppy disk days, and still have a lot to learn! Perhaps I'm getting too old for this game. Kind regards, Pat Dunbar
  3. [TMG]Relation Problem

    For some time I have had on TMG a female 1st. cousin 1 time removed, her husband and their son.. Her husband is shown as no blood relationship. Their son, 2nd cousin. So far, so good. I have just added a daughter which I expected to be a second cousin but TMG records her as no blood relationship. I have checked that both son and daughter have the same parents. The Sibling screen is correct when switching Details, Person screen from son to daughter. I have restarted TMG and carried out maintenance but with no change to the above. I would welcome any comments. Pat Dunbar
  4. Missing msvcr71.dll

    Thanks for the assistance offered. It is comforting to know I have friends willing to help. Some time ago I carefully filed a copy of the installer (honest!) but yesterday I couldn't find it. So much for my filing system. Today I checked Terry's TMG Tips - and there I found The Future for TMG Users which included download links for both the UK and the US versions. In a very short time TMG was fixed using the 'Repair' button. So a special 'thank you' to Terry. Pat Dunbar
  5. Missing msvcr71.dll

    Hello Bette, Thank goodness I'm not alone! Help, someone, please!
  6. Missing msvcr71.dll

    I'm using v9, English version. For some unknown reason I cannot load it due to a missing msvcr71.dll. A web search suggested registry problems. I have cleaned the registry. Searching c: drive I located a total of 14 copies of the missing .dll; none where connected to TMG. I tried to load my old v7 - I was surprised to receive the same error report. Help, please! Before I make matters worse, could someone please offer a guiding hand? Pat Dunbar
  7. I used Terry's Tips, 'Using Roles to Manage Multiple Marriages' and had it working, but now for some reason I have lost the word 'Married' from the list of children as shown below - The five known children of James1 Dunbar (1:15607) and Elizabeth Gillan (1:15606) were as follows: 2 i. Janet2 DUNBAR (1:55214), born 1773; William Hay Edinvail (1:55213). + 3 ii. William DUNBAR (1:55212), born say 1774; Jane Wright (1:55211). + 4 iii. Alexander DUNBAR (1:9994), born 10 Feb 1775 Dallas, Morayshire, Scotland; Margaret McIntosh (1:9993); Elizabeth Garrow (1:12137); died 12 May 1863 Yellowbog, Dallas, Morayshire, Scotland. + 5 iv. John DUNBAR (1:55145), born 3 Oct 1778 Dallas, Morayshire, Scotland. 6 v. David DUNBAR (1:7329), christened 3 Oct 1778 Dallas, Morayshire, Scotland. Could someone please help? Pat Dunbar
  8. TMG Marriage Tag Causing Second Site Error

    Terry - many thanks for the Language info. I appear to have found the reason for the error. My man #6266 had two marriages. One marriage was between two Principals, the other First and Bride, which gave 'Error Role Second 0006' Changing the marriages to First & Bride and Second & Bride gave two errors, 'First/0005' and 'Second/0006' (or vice-versa) Setting both marriages to Primary & Primary cleared the error. So I guess it must be a Role problem and until I'm a little wiser I stick with 'Principals' Many thanks for the help - and my apologies for wasting valuable time. Pat
  9. TMG Marriage Tag Causing Second Site Error

    Terry, My error, sorry. I should have written both Site and Sentence Language set to English2. I have left Default to English (US) selected - if this is not correct please advise. I am doing further checks on the fault and will email results later. Kind regards, Pat
  10. TMG Marriage Tag Causing Second Site Error

    Terry, I cannot find an FAQ for the problem - but I will have another look. In both TMG and SS the language is set to English2 I copied the tag, and, as I suspected, it ran like the original i.e. on first opening it loaded the Principals after a delay; after closing the Marriage tag, and then reopening it the Principals appeared almost immediately. I deleted the copy, shut down then reopened TMG. Then, using identical names and data, I typed in (no copy & pasting) a duplicate. When run this gave the same delay. I then deleted the citation; the fault was still there. I did more runs, each time deleting some of the data, but the fault persisted. Between runs I closed and reopened TMG. So I'm mystified. I have several separate family lines to upload to Second Site. Would it be sensible for me to ignore the problem for the time being, and load some more lines to see if I can reproduce the fault? We could then compare the two records. Regards, Pat
  11. TMG Marriage Tag Causing Second Site Error

    Further to my earlier posting (repeated below), I'm using Second Site V.5 build 09, TMG 8 Gold UK V.8.08 Both on C: drive. HDD 78.5 GB used 833 GB free, RAM 4 GB Processor AMD Athlon II X2 250, 3.00 Ghz Second Site reports ' Role Second/00006 not found for marriage person 6266' With TMG loaded and #6266 Person Page displayed, the marriage tag entry screen opens minus both Principal ID's. After a wait exceeding two seconds (measured with a stop-watch) Pricipal ID's appeared. On closing, then reopening the marriage tag it displayed ID's correctly. With TMG closed, reloading SS, making site gives the same fault. Opening TMG I ran Optimise, then VFI which reported no errors. #6266 Marriage tag opened correctly. TMG closed. Opening SS, Make Site reported the same error. With TMG reloaded, Principals ID's took over two seconds to display. Any help will be much appreciated. Pat Dunbar

  13. TMG Not Responding

    I have just tried to add a person and TMG greyed-out and the error 'Not Responding' appeared. This rarely happened in the past, but has occurred a few times over the last week or so. Today there have been 3 instances - and I have a few hours left before I close down. (NB Actions other than add-a-person may have caused earlier failures - at the time I didn't note the action I was taking) After each failure I have closed TMG, reloaded, then Optimized, ReIndexed, Optimized. The last time 'String too long to fit' appeared when I tried to load TMG. I reloaded and it loaded normally. Running maintenance, Optimize reported difference 705,182 bytes. This error may be just a 'one off' I have two databases open. Could this have a bearing on the problem? I am running Windows 7 Home premium, UK Gold version. Any suggestions much appreciated.
  14. Merge Duplicate Tags?

    Terry, Once again you came to the rescue - many, many thanks! Pat P.S. Started 08:46, completed about 09:36 including pause for thought and time to make and drink a cup of coffee. What a times-saver! Many thanks John & Terry.
  15. I have custom tags for the various UK census, i.e. Census 1841, Census 1851 etc. About half of my Census 1911 data appeared with a spurious tag Census 186111. (Due to some boneheaded action of mine) I did a LOP for the bogus census, and using this started manually changing the tag to Census 1911. After a long, boring day decided there must be a better way. Using edit I renamed Census 186111 to Census 1911.So now I have two 1911 tags, one 465 records, the other 424. Pause for thought; at the bottom of the pit, stop digging. Is there a way to merge the two tags? I had thought of splitting one lot into a temporary database, deleting the 'empty' Tag in the main database, then combining the two databases. Would this work? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
