Mike

I have just done another check. This time checked all the names I worked on when adding the census details v AS. I found all those names have disappeared. There were 6 of them.

Sorry I don't have a clue what to do about FAMC and those other references you mentioned

I will keep the exception log.

Victor

Victor,

There are several oddities about that Exception Report.

None of the 2 _SHAR lines has a @I123@ link to an Individual record as the Shared Fact Witness.

The _FAMC should be FAMC and that explains why the Family as Child links are all broken.

There was an error reported last month that involved FAMC and PEDI/_PEDI  tags that was never resolved.

I suggest you preserve as much evidence of the errors as possible, i.e. Exception Log and GEDCOM.

Have you tried using a gedcom validator on the Gedcom from Ancestry

HI Mike,

1. I have FH6 and have just purchased FH7
2. Yes, it has been a problem for some time. I have some 88,088 souls in my tree and it is updated daily in Ancestry and saved each evening under a new name that incorporates the date such as “20210107” (an ISO date format?) as part of its full name.
3. I know it has islands (several hundreds) as I can see them on one or more of the FH programs that do not crash on me. RMT 7 & 8 work. On one solitary occasion FH6 worked and I could see the tree on line. (AND one can use a text editor to look at the GEDCOM file too, of course)
4. On this, my AIO computer, I did not install FH V6 but installed today FH V77.
5. So, as above the Gedcom comes from my daily Ancestry back up.
6. The date format errors are instanced by all the other FH programs I use.
7. Ancestry.co.uk is my usual data source and I have the WW version so that I can update my tree from all the many countries my ancestors came from..
8. I believe that many of the unconnected trees (islands) have come from historical errors when Ancestry merges were “buggy”.

If I had but a few K of folks I would have contemplated retyping the tree, but 88K or more?!

I had hoped that there may be a secret “key”/option to switch on debugging even if were verbose to allow me to narrow down why FH knocks off without even a “good bye”!

Is there an upper error limit that just causes the program to end?

Many thanks

Hi Phil,

A bit more background would help us narrow down the problem.

You say it happens on both FH V6 and FH V7.

Presumably, it has been a problem for some time or you’ve got both FH versions still installed?

Where does this GEDCOM come from?

How do you know it has “islands” and date format errors if it won’t import?

How is Ancestry.co.uk involved?

Mike Tate

Hi all,

This happens to me with both versions 6 and 7.

I know my GEDCOM file contains dozens of “islands” and has date format errors but no error message at all? (thanks mainly to Ancestry.co.uk!)

I use ALL FH programs but this is the worst for this!!!

There have been a number of different threads on this site concerning the Maps facility in FH. As this is a slightly different angle I decided to start a new thread.

Some people are trying to merge Places to be consistent and we now learn that the AI process of geocoding really only recognises the latest Place automatically and not historical places.

I give some examples.

Early in 1974 I lived in a place Keynsham, Somerset. On 1 April that year when I woke up I found that without moving house I lived at a Place Keynsham, Wansdyke, Avon.  Some time later, after I had actually moved, Avon and Wansdyke were abolished and my old Place became Keynsham, Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset. So in the space of 20 or so years the Place had changed twice.

Keynsham itself is interesting. Whilst being in Somerset I know for a fact that some of my ancestors were born and married in Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire some 10 or so miles from Keynsham. If however one looks up the event on the BMD website it shows that the Registration event took place in Keynsham. It seems this was as a result of the Poor Law of 1834 which designated Keynsham as the poor law Union for 19 Parishes or Places 14 of which were in Somerset and 5 in Gloucestershire.

Another Place is Tilehurst, a parish, which before April 1974 would have been Tilehurst, Berkshire (actually in the District of Bradfield). Then it changed to Tilehurst, Newbury Berkshire.  Later in 1998 The County Council of Berkshire was abolished it changed again. Part of Tilehurst became Tilehurst, Reading another part of Tilehurst became Tilehurst, West Berkshire (Newbury having changed its name to West Berkshire).

As a general rule if I find a document with a Place I will record it exactly as the document shows because historically that is the fact.

I would urge caution about using the latest geocoding when the primary task of a Family Historian is to record history not mapping.

Make sure you are using the correct version of Ancestral Sources for Version 7,  you must have Ancestral Sources 7.

If you are on 7 for both and still have a problem you need to report the problem on FHUG.
