I love this so far. - Forum post by MaxHaiflichJr in General Discussion - 2 Jun 2006
Louis,I did, sort of, understand that the editor existed, but, in regards to the duplicates, I was refering to using Behold! to find them so that I could eliminate them in my PAF5 program data. And lamenting that I couldn't save a combined (and corrected) GEDCOM File, yet.As to using my post, be my guest. I ...

I don't think I'm going to add any "web scraping" to Behold itself. Behold will get its data from GEDCOM files and soon directly from selected databases of some Genealogy Programs. But, I could consider writing a simple separate program designed to get data from familysearch.org. Maybe I'd call it ...

I bet you didn't realize that the Everything Report is already a basic text editor. Many of the items on the Edit menu work, especially cut, copy and paste. It just can't save your edits yet, but that will come in Version 2.However, you can print just the duplicates by simply selecting and deleting everything ...

In getting GEDCOMs from LDS, they do not include the info of who submitted the data to them. You can look it up on site, but you can't download it. I have had to mark, copy, and save it, then include it in my PAF5 Source citation manually.Is there anyway that Behold could do that and include it in the .bho ...

I think that the greatest use I've found so far is finding duplicate Source Listings, and/or people, in my Master Ged file. I've been gradually eliminating or combining them as I found them while searching through my PAF5 Program. But, PAF5 makes it difficult (time comsuming) to do this, beginning with finding ...

Not Combining multiple GEDCOM Files correctly - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 16 May 2006
To get a solution that works really well will take time. There are a lot of considerations, including ensuring that identical information from two files about one person is only listed once, and different information in the two files are both listed. Then there's the possibility of conflicting information, e.g. ...

Not Combining multiple GEDCOM Files correctly - Forum post by MaxHaiflichJr in Report a Problem - 16 May 2006
Louis, You are correct about the INDI #. If you compare that with the AFN # listed lower down you'll see that they're the same. (Unfortunately, that isn't 100% true, I've recently found two different people with the same number.) The FAM numbers are also unique. At least as far as the AF (Ancestry Files) are ...

Not Combining multiple GEDCOM Files correctly - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 16 May 2006
I think I know already what you are talking about. I see in the file I downloaded from LDS Familysearch to test the problem, that the INDI records look something like this: 0 @I693K-W4@ INDII believe the Indi ID number is used to uniquely identify individuals in their complete library, and the same person ...

Not Combining multiple GEDCOM Files correctly - Forum post by MaxHaiflichJr in Report a Problem - 16 May 2006
Louis, LDS Familysearch website only allows downloads of either single family groups or 5 generatio pedigree files. To get a complete family tree, you have to download a combination of pedigree files and family group files, then combine them. Combining them is only possible two ways, importing them into a ...
