Hi,
I spent many, many hours comparing my FamilySearch family tree using the FS Browser.
There were 10,810 matches.
Since I had a lot of duplicate facts, I created a fresh RM file and imported it from FamilySearch. However, only 1,700 people were imported (probably not including spouses and children).
How can I explain this?
How can I import everything?
Many thanks
Thomas
There is no âmy FamilySearch family treeâ. Itâs a collaborative tree where everyone is working on it together. That said there are limitations on what you can download with an import.
The FamilySearch Import will only climb up your tree as many generations as you included. It will include the children of your grandparents. When you select descendants its only the descendant of the starting person. It doesnât behave like RM does with climbing up and down the tree of each ancestor. It wonât include parents of spouses or step-children.
I had marked 15 ancestor generations und my 2 descendant generations
this explains the âmissingâ personsâŚ
this persons I had manually matched to RM via Linker
Therefore the parents of my Wife are not included?
If I want get the ancestors of my childs I have to import them to each of my children?
How recognize RM changes in my direct ancestors in FS? A new import to me?
If you started with yourself it wonât climb up your wifeâs line. You would need to start with one of your children to include them. You could import your wifeâs line into a new database and then drag n drop into the main database afterwards.
this I dont understand..
how can I dragâdrop between 2 databases?
Open each database, click on someone who you want to D&D to the other database and hold down the mouse button and Drag them to the database you want them in. The Menu will popup and give you options of people to move.
As MadDog explained â this process is quite simple. Depending on how close the matches are you might have some cleanup afterwards

ich habe nun testweise einen kompletten Baum in meine âmainâ DB per c/p kopiert.
Ich erhalte nun ca. 1300 doppelte Personeneinträge wie oben-
Die FS-ID ist immer identisch.
Automerge erkennt sie nicht.
im Manual Merge sehe ich:
Wie kriege ich diese Personen mit identischer FS-ID zusammen?
Automerge did not apply because ALL info must match exactly (no more, no less). In this case, the Chr/Burial/Baptism/Residence on right pane have more detail than those on left pane. The Birth places also differ in text character language encodings and the Death places mismatch rightward after the characters âKarlsruheâ. Assuming you want your language encoding to be preserved:
-Click Swap button to switch person on right over to be on the left (primary person)
-Click Edit person button (for primary person) and correct Death place by deciding what follows âKarlsruheâ. Should it be âKarlsruhe, Baden, Germanyâ -or- âKarlsruhe ReâŚâ ?
-Click Merge duplicate into primary button, then click Close button
Tip: It is usually better to normalize all spellings and language character sets in Place names, etc. (usually in a fresh, new database) BEFORE cut/paste or dragNdrop to allow more automerges to occur, before resorting to manual merges.
