Ancestor Profile will not move to another tree

Genosis

Hello! I had some time to play with Genosis, and I decided to change things a little bit which meant certain ancestors were going to be moved to a different tree. I click on "move to another tree" but that profile refuses to budge from the tree it's in, yet the children and spouse have all moved to the other tree. It's a handful of profiles that are stubborn, and I am not sure I even know which ones they all are yet. What can I do to fix this other than creating a profile in the tree I want them in, and inputing all the information? Thanks, Lisa

Separate Trees Sorta Became One

Genosis

Excellent! Thank you, Brian! I was tinkering with it to see if I could have one spouse in one tree and another spouse in a different tree when I noticed my trees were no longer separate! This is such a great program and I really love the background and the whole feel of it. Ancestry has nothing on you! Thanks again! Lisa

Separate Trees Sorta Became One

Genosis

I absolutely LOVE this program! I do not get to fiddle with it as much as I used to due to my work schedule, but I think it is the absolute best one out there!

I have 3 separate trees, and when I clicked on each tree only the featured profiles and pictures from that tree would show up. I have performed all the upgrades as they come through, and each of my trees now has ALL the profiles and pictures from the other trees as well... they are no longer ssperate like they used to be! Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks!! Lisa

Profile ID Numbers

Genosis

Gracious! Not sure why they post ended up twice? I figured once the number is deleted it is unusable. But as to the second part of the question - then why if I upload new people from a gedcom does it takes information from the deleted ID and add it to the new one? I have to add everything manually and can no longer use the gedcom feature because of this. I find people born 48 years ago attached as the spouse of someone born 148 years ago. And the information for the 48 year old and the 148 year is mixed in the timeline. I cannot pinpoint an example as I am cleaning them up as I go along, but I wonder what I am doing wrong that is happening? Thanks!

Profile ID Numbers

Genosis

I figured out I could download all the profiles along with their ID numbers, etc which will help me figure out if I have duplicates or not. Anyway, here is my question: I have a bunch of missing ID numbers. I have no profile ID number 30s, etc. I am assuming it is because I deleted people? Is there a way to utilize those ID numbers again? Thanks! Lisa

Profile ID Numbers

Genosis

Hello! There have been times when I have deleted profiles, but when I upload another gedcom, that profile ID number will be assigned to a new ancestor, but with the deleted ancestors events and family. I have had to do a lot of tidying up ... what am I doing wrong? Thanks! Lisa

Moving Profiles to a Different Tree

Genosis

Hello! There are some profiles I would like to move to another tree. I open up their profile and make sure the check box for ancestors is checked, and then click the tree to move them to. Does their profile still remain on the original tree at all?

I am also finding that some profiles simply refuse to move to another tree. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lisa

Event Image vs Source

Genosis

I am wondering in what instance it is more preferable to add an image to an event as opposed to adding that same image as a source? The same image appears in either instance, and I am not 100% sure why I would add it as a source unless a number of people will be attached to it? Thanks for your thoughts! ~ Lisa

Blog Question

Genosis

Thank you! If you run into someone who uses it, I would be interested in seeing it. My blogs are on WordPress, and those connect to a Facebook group page. I'll probably tinker with it at a later date, I was just wondering if you used it. Thank you! Lisa

Disappearing Events

Genosis

The death event was fine because there was a full date - month, day, year.
The next event I added was "residence," but only the month and year.
I then added funeral with only the month and year - same as residence. But it would not show up on the timeline.
I then went back into the residence event and picked a random day (not death day)to add to it, and the funeral event then showed up.
None of this is a big deal at all. I just wanted to know if this is what you expected to happen so I can adjust what I'm doing. Or if this is not what should happen because the events are different so it shouldn't matter if the date is the same.

Thanks! Lisa
