Creating Family Tree Maker Custom Reports to find Veterns


Creating Family Tree Maker Custom Reports to find Veterns

This is a re-post of Creating a Custom Family Tree Maker file to isolate veterans of different Wars,  I realized my original descriptions weren't the proper syntax for what you'll see in FTM and felt I needed to correct that.  Again, this came about as a result of Cousin Russ sharing the methodology he is also using in FTM.

Please provide feedback if anything is incorrect.

Hi Russ.

Hi Russ...I have heard you say that you use Evernote in you family history research. I would be interested in learning more about how you and other members of the community use this tool and why you use it rather than OneNote. Thank you!

In honor of Memorial Day, here is how I created a list of men who mayhave served in the Civil War.

In honor of Memorial Day, here is how I created a list of men who may have served in the Civil War. The same technique can be used for other conflicts.

Thank you to ALL who served in any conflict.

This is a follow up on using the Family Book Creator plug-in forFTM2014.

This is a follow up on using the Family Book Creator plug-in for FTM2014.

On facebook, a cousin told me there her 7 year old daughter wanted to know about "where she came from" and who her Ancestors were. So, I wanted to put this plug in to real use and to be able to create a book that a 7 year old might be interested in.

In this video, I spend a few more minutes with some of the options. What I have focused on, is how you can EDIT a book, created with this plug in, to make adjustments to the content of the book that was created.

This book will not have Footnotes, Endnotes, nor a lot of detail on the person, but will have a Bibliography, Index of Places, and Index of People AND colored pictures that are in my family file.

I should also mention, that is was another "out of the box" book. I did not look at the User manual, nor have I fine tuned to book based on the developers documentation. Just trying to see how difficult it was for me to just create and now edit the book.

I am new with FTMM3.

I am new with FTMM3. I am restarting by adding each person one by one with each source properly entered. I have not yet linked my software tree with my Ancestry tree. Is there a way to copy my software tree to my iPad  or iPhone? Thanks for all you do to inspire our community.
