To get a complete family tree, you have to download a combination of pedigree files and family group files, then combine them. <br><br> Combining them is only possible two ways, importing them into a genealogy program or combining them manually in a Text Editor.<br><br> Unfortunately, in the process of following the various family branches through the LDS site, it is extremely easy to miss a few, or get lost in thre maze they create.<br><br> Combining the various files in a Genealogy Program requires careful review and comparison with the LDS Site itself to find any missing branches. Time consuming and prone to the same problem as navigating the LDS site itself.<br><br> Combining the various files in a Text Editor manually is even more time consuming, but makes it much easier to find missing branches.<br><br> I came across your program while looking for a text editor with a better script language to automate combining these files. Your approach holds great promise for solving my problem and making several other things simpler for me.<br><br> Anyway, on to the problem with your program. Adding gedcoms does not combine them properly. I will Email you the .bho file and appropriate gedcom files for your perusal. I will also include two text files that shows the basic line of Descendents. LDS shows two different heads of the same family line here and the text files shows the "descendents of" for each. You can compare them to what your program does.<br><br>Max Report a Problem http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=48#post-168 Thu, 11 May 2006 23:03:55 GMT MaxHaiflichJr 168@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Louis<br><br>When adding other GEDCOM files, if the same name is loaded once in all Caps and again Capitalized, they are processed as two different people.<br><br>It also seems to have trouble handling multple Surnames and certain punctuations and brackets.<br><br>Tell me how and i can upload some GEDCOMs and/or bho files that demonstrate these problems.<br><br>Max Report a Problem http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=46#post-159 Sun, 30 Apr 2006 13:25:46 GMT brknhrt 159@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ I am having a problem sometimes when I print.

These people are brothers/sisters of "connected" people, so I don't see why they are listed as unconnected. They don't have defined parents, that's the only difference.

For example:<br><br>0 @I1@ INDI<br>1 NAME Given1 Middle1 /Surname1/<br>2 GIVN Given1 Middle1<br>2 SURN Surname1<br>0 @I2@ INDI<br>1 NAME /Surname2/ Middle2 Given2<br>2 GIVN Given2 Middle2<br>2 SURN Surname2<br><br>For people like I2, Behold will print "For information about Surname2 Middle2, see ...". It looks like it is trying to parse everything up to the last word in NAME as a given name, instead of using the GIVN tag.<br><br>A simple solution would be not to even print the given name in this type of reference -- it's redundant, since the full name has just been printed. i.e. just go with ", see ...". That would also save an extra line which is critical for saving print space.<br><br>This type of ordering is very common for traditional Indian names, so I expect it will come up in many cases.

The CONT and CONC tags work exactly the same except where CONT puts in a space and then the text, CONC concatenates the text right onto the end of the last line. CONTinuation versus CONCatenation, I guess.<br><br>PAF seems to adhere to these standards pretty closely. Whenever there is a CONC tag the line starts with a word that is divided. FTM manages to screw it up. I think that they use CONC tags and don't split words, so you get a lot of run-together words with their GEDCOMS.<br><br>At any rate the CONC appears right in the Everything report. And now that I've type all of this, I'll go back and try changing the text to a null string in the Behold options to see what happens. Report a Problem
