MS Word and print to PDF?

If you don't have MS Word, you can use Open Office and export as a PDF. OpenOffice.org is free and works well.

And not to forget: Most scanners today can scan directly to PDF.

OK, thanks alot guys, I will experiment over the weekend.

Can someone please resolve the conflict here, they are both locked.

Ask Ben Angel about the merge issue...he is curator.

Sally, the conflict is resolved

I should have said...a curator....

Sorry Ann...no snub intended....

Can someone please tell me when last Sherayne Bridgman was online?

Sherayne Bridgman last online March 6, 2010

Thanks ya'll.

Hola all, I made a mistake and resolved a conflict incorrectly, how can I put it back into to be resolved category again. so I can do it right?
Anderson Russell Burleson

Data 'conflicts' can be undone by looking at the 'revisions' tab.

You'll see the changes you made ... click the little "view" word and you'll be able to re-select the correct values and make them the new "current" values.

Thank you, Mr. Caulk

That is a good thing to know! Thanks for the tip!

Well so much for the attempt. I know perfectly well that a person cannot be 1 year and have wife and kids. I wanted to change the date, but somehow I could not do it, even using the revision tab, the dates did not come up, the only ones that came up were the wrong ones.

Sally Thomas try this method:

1. Go to the "Overview" tab.
2. Press the link for "History."
3. Select "Facts" tab.
4. Select "compare" radio button (on left) for timestamp 4/9/2011
5. If this gives you the results that match your source data, select the green "restore" button (on right)

Oh, actually, I think I now know what Sally is having a problem with:

The Revision history only shows the values actually stored in that profile. It does NOT retain all the alternatives which were part of the original data conflicts (which might include many alternative values). The "history" only shows the value that profile had before the data conflict was resolved, and the new value selected after the resolution. All the other alternative values are no longer visible (albeit they might be "in the system", we users can't get to them). The Revision history only shows values actually "recorded" with the "main" profile.

In this case, however, by going back to some of the earlier revisions, there *is* a death date which might be reasonable (check the 2nd revision on July 22, 2009).

However, I would recommend some 'googling' or whatever to find out if this is an issue with two children of the same name -- one died as an infant and the 2nd named after the first. That situation is not that unusual in some families.

more on Anderson Russell Burleson -- when I look at the brothers & sisters, there are, for example, two "infant/baby' siblings with the same birthdate of 1877 ...

... so ...

-- Were those twins that died young?
-- Was that one infant that was born & died in 1877?
-- Was one of the unknown infant(s) born in 1877 and died in 1880, and the data was confused with Anderson's 1879 birth date?
-- Was (one of?) the 1877 infant(s) named Anderson?

Lots of possibilities which could use a little investigation to make some reasonable conjectures, even if not able to find actual sources.

A little bit of FindAGrave looking found this: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=24849491 ... that should help with Anderson's minimal data.

There are 21 Burleson's buried in the same cemetery. I did not investigate them'

Could someone please tell me when Private was last online?

Brendan, August 2010

Thank you, Mr. Friedman

Brendan Swemmer She is collaborating with me, perhaps I can help you.

Thanks, Eldon, but I can't remember the name of the profile I wanted to merge where she was one of the managers.

Brendan Swemmer If you find it let me know. I will be offline Saturday - Monday but hopefully online Monday evening.

regarding Anderson Burleson...
Why don't I just go in to the profile, and take out one of the dates, probably the date of death, in the profile, and then when someone who is more familiar with the situation can just put in the right date? Will that solve the problem?

Sally I do the research and do a citation. It shouldn't be that hard to find?
