Gedcom Help please?

[Chrissie Smiff]

I hope I've posted this in the right place. I have just noticed something odd with a birth date of one of my ancestors on the gedcom. Ligna Vita Revill should read 'born 1805' not 1850. It's odd because I have just checked and it says 1805 on the gedcom that I downloaded. How do I change it on here please?

morning Chrissie,

the best/easiest way will be to upload a new gedcom to the database.

Oh dear - not sure where/how to get it from without asking GR again. I have FTM but I have no idea how to take it off there. Never mind, I'll fathom it out.
It seems odd because I got the original gedcom from GR many moons ago and t definitely says 1805 on there
Thanks Julie I have decided to have another bash at her and last night I noticed that among my notes was a Vity Revill born Clowne (later than my Ligna Vita). I thought the Vity might be a clue to a connection and I now see that Barbara has Clowne Revill's in her tree, so I am going to plough on and see if I can find a connection :D

Funnily enough Chrissie, I was talking last night to Barbara about it, (spooky eh?) I might have Revills too... if I can find/prove this family connection...

which version of FTM do you use?

edit:

this is the visual how to for creating a gedcom

That is spooky because I was looking at her name and searching quite a bit last night - it's as though I transmitted my thoughts lol :D:D
Now wouldn't that be fun if we were all related :D

I have just spoken to the oracle and we use 2010 (Tesco coupon special lol).
I need to check it first though to make sure it is totally up to date because, if I find anything I add it myself to the GR one because it's easy and then I pin hubby down when he is free and get him to put my new info on FTM (which I haven't completely mastered yet :o

Thank you for the link - off to take a look now. Then I MUST do some hou....rk :(

[Chrissie Smiff]
