1. Re: [TMG] Name Variations [1]
I think it is useful to add a Name-Var tag to each with the standard spelling that you have picked. You can make it non-printing, but this puts them all together in your Picklist, and you don't have to remember which spelling each one was using. Another thing that I do is add one of my "Comments" source (or Terry's "Conclusions" source) to the primary name tag to explain the many variations of this name. It could say something like: "This branch of the family tree appears in various sources as McMEEK

Stuart, Well, using the Macro Recorder works for me - I tried it in order to validate the procedure I put in the message. My Lock Aspect Ratio box was checked by default and when the macro runs the aspect ratio is indeed maintained. So the simpler procedure using the recorder shoud work for others also, and I don't know why it didn't for you. That said, writing the more comprehensive macro directly in Visual Basic as you have specified below should be useful to TMG users, including me, who want to scan

I use 1&1 for my personal web sites and for the business web sites I do. The only downside I've found -- and this probably won't affect you -- is no mailing lists can be run through the web site.

9. RE: [TMG] Data set vs. project for research focus [1]
Simple answer: put everything in one project in one dataset. TMG doesn't get fussed about unconnected groups of people and you can still generate reports from your main family without interference from the unconnected people and vice versa. Benefits: single list of sources, single list of places, single set of tags (if you have customized any); all important for consistency of form and format. AND, if you have a few people that connect to both groups (your family tree and some Hawkins grouping), you don'

11. RE: [TMG] P1/P2 when adding a spouse [1]
The difference is that when adding a spouse, wife, or husband you are usually adding a new person and that therefore makes them the Focus person. When you are adding a marriage you are adding an event to a focus person the other party of which is already in your database (usually) At least that is how I see it. -- The Verminator -------------- Original message -------------- From: Karla Huebner > I agree with Jill.

Wayne, In addition to all of the other good reasons to have people that are not related in any way, another reason is that it is FUN! Jimmy Carter's nephew married the sister of my cousin's wife. So you BET I have him in my database. But it doesn't end there. President Carter is related to Elvis Presley, Jesse Helms, and Senator Sam Nunn. What a lot of FUN! Of course they don't appear in any of my reports, but they do appear in my web page generated by SecondSite. In addition I am working on the gen

Thanks for all the input on this thread, Everyone. Eric gave a complete answer to Helen's question, but I can give some specific reasons why ALL CAPS has become problematic for my project. Here are the sorts of surnames I'm currently researching: DE ST. JORE DIT SARGERIE LEBUFFE or LE BUFFE If my entire project displays these names in all caps all the time, Eric is right, the proper case will be lost. There is also a certain aesthetic that is lost when all caps are used, and there may be some reports i

As it turns out, it was faster, but much less accurate! :) OK, you say the [L] is surrounded by the Conditional Markers. I am guessing that the leading marker has a space between it and the [L].

Hi Jane. I started my research by putting all kinds of remotely related people in my database. A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to find out who was REALLY part of my family. I haven't deleted anyone, but I was able to build a focus group that defined the people I wanted. I started on the focus group window, cleared everyone and then added myself. Then I let TMG "add others", including ancestors. Then (this is the key) you can do the "add others" option again for a group of people highlighted in the

I do need a clarification on the TMG surname Capping. Do you mean that if I have it as DeRAINVILLE or DeBOISANDRE or D'ANNVILLE in UFT, it would be as DERAINVILLE OR DEBOISANDRE or DANNVILLE, in TMG. Otherwise, I'm not understanding why the change from CAPS. Helen
25. Re: [TMG] Strangers in my project [1]
I add to thoughts I had previously on projects. I do not see the problem with more than one or even several projects about the same family. TMG handles mutiple projects very well, allowing one to merge, separate, delete, them etc. In my Sorrell main project there are no Sorrells without some sort of known connection to old William the present dead end. There is no problem with creating other projects for specific research studies, say an area study like all the Sorrells in Caroline County, Va
