Louis,Sorry, the original files that I had the problem with have already been changed and I can't recreate the lockup as Behold handles the other files with the @ symbols with no problem. Maybe, it was a glitch in my computer at the time and it corrected itself on the next restart.I can recreate the other ...

I've run into a minor problem with loading gedcoms that include certain gedcom key symbols in a note field. If things like @ or / are included in a NOTE, Behold locks up. Eliminating those symbols from the NOTE in the gedcom solves the problem for me, but others may not know how.I've also run into another ...

Louis,FamilySearch.org does not provide a way to download the "Submitted by" information. It's a separate selection on each individual, or family group, listing. You can view it, but not download it. I have questioned them about it and they claim it's to protect the "living" submitters. Doesn't make much sense ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

LouisWhen adding other GEDCOM files, if the same name is loaded once in all Caps and again Capitalized, they are processed as two different people.It also seems to have trouble handling multple Surnames and certain punctuations and brackets.Tell me how and i can upload some GEDCOMs and/or bho files that ...
