I had difficulty connecting a child to a parent and ultimately via unlinking and adding parent. However, whilst they now show up as parent child only one fact Death-Child shows up on either. Sorry I do not have any screen shots of the convoluted root to ensuring the parent-child relationship was formed now.
Has anyone else had the situation where child facts do not show up with the parents? If so how do I get this to happen?
Thanks
The family members facts will show if they are within the person’s birth and death fact range. It will only show the family members’ vital facts, birth, christen, death, burial and marriage.
Thank you. It is clear that the age range of the parent matters as you say. I had not added the birth or death dates of the parents due to no evidence as yet. Only the childs death was revealed ( there is some assumption that a parent is alive before their childs death).
There is a quirk. When I added a nominal birth date to the parent the birth and marriage of the child was now shown. However, the child’s death was no longer shown. The child was born in 1879 yet any mothers birth date before 1847 meant the childs death was not displayed i.e. birth at the mothers age of 33 or later.
There is clearly some quirk over assumptions of the age range from the mothers birth date ( 33 is not an unusual age for a mother to give birth) and the distinction between the way child deaths are handled and other life events. I will bear this in mind when relying upon displaying child facts in future.
I forgot to add I am on version 11.4.0
Thanks again.
Somethings off, try running the database tools under File, Tools.
I have tried rebuilding the index, compacting the database, removing phantom records, integrity check ( all fine ), data clean and person problem searches ( nothing identified other than missing surnames and given names but this is part of the research. I followed this by closing and reopening the database. Maybe I should report this as a bug.
Can you post a screenshot of the Parent’s Edit person Screen and one of the Child’s Edit Person screen? It would help if RIN’s are enabled.
So as I understand, you originally started off with the child and 1 parent linked wrong–so you linked the kid to the right parents/ family group and then unlinked him from the 1st parent relationship–you had no dates of birth or death for the parents BUT did have the child’s birth, death and marriage date listed…
So trying to duplicate this, I corrected the relationship between the child and the parent then with no birth, marriage and death info for the parents, the child does NOT show up on the parents line at all.
when I add just a marriage date a year before the child is born- the birth, marriage and death of the child shows up on the parents…
when I add a birth year for the mother only-- then only the child’s birth and marriage shows up on the mother-- the father with no birth and death info still shows birth , marriage and death of child
If you did have the marriage date of the child listed, there is only one way I can get to the 1st scenario of JUST THE DEATH info of the child on the mother and that is The DATE of marriage for the parents is AFTER the child’s marriage date …
To get the 2nd scenario of JUST BIRTH AND MARRIAGE INFO OF CHILD on the mother AFTER adding a birth year for her the only way I could make it happen is the CHILD WAS AGE 72 OR OLDER WHEN HE DIED–it didn’t matter when the parents were married…
In this 2nd screenshot Mom would have been 111 yrs old when the child died at the age of 72 and therefore the program ? assumes she has died by then -if if put his death date 1 year earlier when Mom was 110, his death info would show up on her timeline.
I would suggest, turn on the RIN numbers— check the marriage date for the parents–maybe it is wrong or more than 1 marriage date for them-- I would also check the child’s marriage date-- and check to make sure he only has 1 set of parents and that the parents have the correct amount of spouses meaning if dad was married twice and Mom was married twice that they both only have 2 spouses–also check to make sure that Mom, Dad and the child are NOT duplicated in your database…
Hi, Thanks for all this I did not mean it to take up so much time. I will sort out the extra bits asap when I get the time so please do not think I am ignoring or do not appreciate your help.
