Based on your Follow-up Friday about this ...Randy,<br /><br />Based on your Follow-up Friday about this Blog Post and my reply: RE a Global way of doing something. Normally, I would totally agree with you. BUT, in this case, I suggested that it's not a good idea.<br /><br />My friend, that comes from Experience.<br /><br />Here is the reason:<br /><br />Lets say that you sent me that GEDCOM file and within that GEDCOM file there are some Historical Place Names. I would guess that it does. State or County boundary changes.<br /><br />Roots Magic's mapping feature may be different from Family Tree Maker and I want to use the Map feature within FTM2014. The Resolve Place feature within FTM2014 allows me to control those Historical Place names and put the push pins where they belong.<br /><br />Had I had a Global Resolve ALL (One Button) I would have lost that information, lost meaning to put the push pin where it belongs. I would have let FTM make those decisions for me. <br /><br />In my case, it is Maryland mid-1600's on, where there were Parishes before Counties.<br /><br />OH, by the way, PLEASE go to the Places Workspace, click on Tools and what do you see? <br /><br />Resolve ALL.<br /><br />So, the feature IS there and it has been there, my don't use comment was out of place, but more of a Warning for your readers, but came from my experience.<br /><br />Sorry for the confusion.<br /><br />By the way, I do think there is an issue that you brought up and I have submitted Feedback to Ancestry.com through the Help, Online Help Center, Feedback link.<br /><br />FTM2012 treats UnResolved Place names differently.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-89089030130689038852013-09-12T19:55:25.995-07:002013-09-12T19:55:25.995-07:00Wouldn't it be nice to see year-dates next to ...Wouldn't it be nice to see year-dates next to each migration point?<br /><br />Can such maps be included whilst generating genealogical reports for export to word-processor / PDF?Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-21630751759977077132013-09-12T18:02:14.127-07:002013-09-12T18:02:14.127-07:00Randy,
Caution: you do NOT want an one button to ...Randy,<br /><br />Caution: you do NOT want an one button to resolve all !!!!!<br /><br />Come comment about USA. You can TURN that OFF for DISPLAY purposes. When cleaning up your Place Names, turn it on, but when you are doing reports / charts you can turn them off.<br /><br />Tools, Options, Names/Dates/Places is where you ca turn the USA off.<br /><br />I normally keep in off so that I can SEE the USA. My own purposes.<br /><br />I am glad that I guessed right.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.com
