Re: FTM 2012 bug re Data Errors Report

The point is that FTM 2011 doesnt have this problem with this report using the same data.

The exact same data in FTM 2011 correctly handles sort order of birth dates. And without having to use the "About" Fact Label in Options / Names, Dates, Places / About.

I created this tree in FTM 2012 by downloading a Gedcom from Ancestry. Is that the same end result as using the DOWNLOAD FROM ANCESTRY button on Plan / New Tree ? (But the same Gedcom in 2011 doesnt create this error.)

Sure I can exclude this error category from the report - but I shouldnt have to in FTM 2012 when it wasnt a problem previously.

I was going to try and use that OPTION to see if it made any difference - but to do that - I would have to download my Ancestry tree again - and my other post about deleting a tree in FTM 2012 and starting again has me worried about doing that. And changing that option AFTER the event isnt going to fix anything I guess - changing it in FTM 2012 hasnt made any difference to the Data Errors Report.

Using either the "Sort children by birth order" or the "Show Blended Families" will correct the sort order - but 31 pages of error checking effort for something that shouldnt be an error ? And isnt an error in Ancestry.

Thanks as always Russ for your advice : Lindsay
