1. Re: [GEN-USERS] Census Data [1]
I precise the census information in my "notes". And the top line of these Notes lists the Census Year that this person appears on. So, at a glance, I can see if I have further information on this person, just by looking at the main card.

2. [GEN-USERS] Census Display [1]
Thanks, Sue. Thats pretty well the way that I have my Census info at the present time, but Im not as happy as I might be. Especially I would like to have the age and place listed. And I use the Notes section quite a bit for other information that immediately helps to distinguish this particular person. It is not a huge problem; I still like Generations better than any other application that I have; its just this Census thing Thanks again for your input. Helen
3. [GEN-USERS] Missing Data Syndrome [1]
Hi Many thanks for all the helpful comments on my problem. The problem seems to be resolved now, and my engineer says that the cause lay in McAfee, and was to do with "running a script". This may mean more to some of you than it does me.

4. Re: [GEN-USERS] converting a .RCX file to a .GED file [1]
Daryl, The .rcx file that you have received was probably created by Reunion for Windows or Generations v4.2. You also need the remainder of that family of files including those with the extensions .fdb .ndb .ndx .pdb and .pdx as well as the .rcx, all of which are needed to be able to open the family file. If you can obtain all of those I will attempt to convert them to a GEDCOM file. Which family history program is your friend using now? The alternative is for them to purchase the latest Generations v8

According to http://www.cybertechhelp.com/fileextensions/R, the .RCX extension is associated with Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. What program did your friend use to create the file?

6. [GEN-USERS] Census Data [1]
Can anyone suggest a way to display (i.e. 'list') Census information on the family card. I would like this to be in view when the 'person' or 'family' is opened. What would be great is a quick list of census basics on this person. Obviously I need to display vital information, as well as 'occupation', and 'Notes'; also, census info should print on the 'person report' and 'family report'. At least -- 1871 - age - place 1881 - age - place 1901 - age - place I think the most number of census that any per
7. Re: [GEN-USERS] Census Data [1]
I have created an event for each census year. When inputting the data, I use the actual census date in the date field (couldn't find a way to have this done automatically), and put the place in the place field. In memo I put the relationship to head, condition and age, and anything else of interest. Occupation goes the person field of that name, with the date in brackets following. I have created a view which shows birth, then each of the censuses, and the death, so I can see how it all fits together,

9. Re: [GEN-USERS] Census Data [1]
I have created a new event called census and then in the place field (not the date field) I have filled in the census years that I have for that person. The actual details of the census are entered into a source linked to that event. A - means that I need to locate a census year, n/a means that someone was not born until the few years before the first census shown and = is used for when someone has died. 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 would indicate that I have collected a census for every year

It is not ideal but I can see at a glance if I have lost someone in a census. Regards Dee

What I do is have flags corresponding to each census: 1851 OK 1861 OK ... 1901 OK And I set these when I find the person on that census or if they were not alive at that point.

I realize this is a Generations list, but I have recently converted (with Leister tech support) my Gen8 to Reunion9 and am ready to produce a Register Report. I have a major problem. Reunion is omitting the line.....He married or He (She) second married....etc. Below is an example of what the report looks like. What do I need to do to have the spouse named?

I finally figured out how to import the files into Reunion. Step 1 accomplished. Now I need to change the name of one of those files from My Family to a surname. How do I do that? Also, in Apple, what is the equivalent of Windows Explorer? Glenna Oh, one more BIG problem. When Leister converted my files from Gen8 to Reunion, all of the words in my sources did not transfer!! The idea of having to hand type in more than 800 sources (three family files) is horrifying to me. Is there any better way to accom

Thanks Tim, You led me to the solution. When I edited the Index, I found the box checked "Show Male Only". After changing to "Show All", suddenly 8000 more people showed up, and I learned more about the index. (My apologies to all the females out there.) Nice to have someone smarter than I am to guide me.

Hallo, I wonder if anyone can help with what I think are 2 simple problems, but after hours of trying I still cannot solve them! I use generations V8.5a and have my 4 main families as separate files. Under Options/Define/Views I have added my own view and this fine for one family, but on the other 3 it intermittently returns to the default view. My second problem is that I have now added a new family and again have defined my own view which being exactly the same as the one mentioned above, has "Rema
