This is new in 11.1. When I pull the SSN from the Social Security Death Index on 11.0.4 (and before) is came over as a MISC fact and I’d immediately change it to SSN fact. On 11.1 it comes over as a blank fact type and I immediately change it to SSN fact. It would be super cool if it just came over as a SSN fact, just to save me some time. ![]()
from treeshare or manual entry?
I thought I was clear I was using TreeShare.
nope – I would not look in subject line for that info,
Trying to reproduce this and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a Social Security fact from Ancestry. When I get those hints they are sources to add to existing facts like birth, death. How did you add yours?
this adds the SSDI source to the birth fact, and adds the SSN as a blank fact, when 11.0.4 added the SSN as a MISC fact.
So I edit the person, select the fact, and change the fact type to SSN.
I’ll also note that adding the null fact instead of MISC results in an invalid fact added to the fact table, which causes GEDCOM exports to fail
I believe this will find them (Since you really cant in RM unless you trip over them)
SELECT EventID, OwnerID, OwnerType, EventType
FROM EventTable
WHERE EventType = 0 OR EventType IS NULL;
Unfortunately that’s not my issue. I see none of those. I do appreciate the help.
Actually I tested the script the other day and found a few and fixed.
I finally see the difference. You’re using an Ancestry WebHint to add the SSN. Adding the hint online doesn’t give you a separate fact. I now see the difference between 11.0.4 and 11.1.2 and have reported it.
