Exploit your RootsMagic family tree database with SQLite Tools
bearing on GEDCOM and direct interchange with other systems and with other RootsMagic databases, e.g., via drag’n’drop…
Problems with GEDCOM In my experience, building an evidence-driven Family Tree on Ancestry.com from evidence found in its databases is faster and easier than extracting the evidence from Ancestry.com and building the documented tree in RootsMagic. But my RootsMagic database remains superior in other respects and is my master database for reporting. So I have…
This page provides an overview of the utilities available on this wiki that may help you with your migration of a TMG Project to a RootsMagic database. An example of what TMG Refugee Mike James did is described at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/tmg-refugees.rootsweb.com/thread/199856/. It is important to note that there may be considerable cleanup and data manipulation to…
Why? RootsMagic 6.3.3.2+ imports the TMG_ID into the standard RootsMagic Reference No. fact type (REFN). While this fact type can be displayed after the name of the person in main views and reports, it cannot be displayed in the sidebar Index and in some other places. Some users would prefer that it did; the only…
After importing a TMG project, there is considerable cleanup to be done in the resulting RootsMagic database. There are differences in their respective sentence template languages that cannot translate well or could be translated better (improvement possible in the direct import process). This script addresses some of these outcomes and some unwanted artifacts that could…
Do you have a lot of empty Description fields for facts or events that you would like to fill with short contents from the corresponding Note field? This might be the case for certain fact types after an import from TMG, directly or via GEDCOM. Or maybe you have chosen to enable the Description field…
GEDCOM files imported from The Master Genealogist and probably other sources may exhibit disappearance of citations and notes for tags in the TMG Name Group. Citations and memos for tags from the Name group that export to the GEDCOM NAME tag will disappear from those that are the first or only NAME tag imported by…
Under development This page attempts to find the best practices for working between RootsMagic and Ancestry.com with highest completeness, fidelity and efficiency. It supersedes an earlier page, Ancestry.com and RootsMagic 5, as a result of new understanding of the roles of certain custom GEDCOM tags and a change in what is exported by Ancestry.com. Summary…
This script sets private the events, alternate name facts, and personal notes for persons whose Living flag is set. Thus, reports and GEDCOM can take full advantage of the options: Privatize living people (GEDCOM only) Include private facts Include {private} notes Strip { } brackets thus providing many more combinations by which these outputs may…
2021-10-28: The following queries are compatible with #RM8 but, while included in , the app itself is not. If a user has set certain Fact Types to be excluded from GEDCOM export, those fact types are also not transferred to another database via Drag and Drop (DnD). This setting is controlled in the Edit Fact…
This is a problem with an Ancestry.com tree synchronized with Family Tree Maker 2012 (version 21.0.0.723), and exported therefrom. Places containing a forward slash (“/”) in the name are split on import into FTM into two parts. Everything after the slash goes to the Place name and all before to the Event description. The FTM2012…
