If the data is together as I feel it should be then each data item will only be shown once. The data items will then be color coded to indicate the source of the data: just your data; just FamilySearch; or both. <br /><br />I don't think forms-based genealogy software is set up to be able to do this, which is why a report-based program will need to.<br /><br />LouisLouis Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704667321407909489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-43412986155158127822015-05-07T06:33:54.646-07:002015-05-07T06:33:54.646-07:00Louis, does the screen in #3 meet that criteria?Louis, does the screen in #3 meet that criteria?Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200545553879406470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-38511627272032324262015-05-06T21:21:04.574-07:002015-05-06T21:21:04.574-07:00Randy,
Not bad.
However, as you state, you'...Randy,<br /><br />Not bad. <br /><br />However, as you state, you'd like to add people one by one, and I agree with that idea.<br /><br />Therefore it is logical that you'd want to see the information about the possible match together with your information. They do that in a limited way with the Share data tab. But you only see some data, no sources and it surely doesn't allow you to edit the data or add notes while you're on that page.<br /><br />Much better would be an integrated data listing for the person, with different data from FamilySearch being highlighted with one color and data that agrees between your tree and family search highlighted with a second color. Then you can edit all the data right there and should be allowed to save it into your database and load it up to FamilySearch.<br /><br />Hmmm. Sounds like a good thing to implement.<br /><br />Louis<br />Louis Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704667321407909489noreply@blogger.com
