Select a subset of IDs

[Connie Marks]

I am trying to use Map My Family Tree and it is having performance issues with 30,000 names. So I am thinking will creates 4 GEDCOMS  with about 7500 ids in each. How might I do this?  I suppose I could create a flag and use Project Explorer to set values for Id within a range of Ids.

"Performance issues"?  I suspect you mean that MMFT is slow to read your TMG project and populate the MMFT map (etc.).  I don't know how breaking up a 30,000 person project into four 7500 person GEDCOMs will help except if you only plan to work with 7500 persons at a time.  That is, I don't know that you can read into MMFT data from GEDCOM A, then from GEDCOM B, etc. to achieve the full 30,000 person from your project.

I have a similar import "problem" with my 67,000 person project.  It takes about an hour or better to load it the first time.  Each exit and re-start of MMFT also takes a good bit of time, but goes much faster.  I have not timed it, just gone on to other things while it is re-loading. 

I have installed a copy of TMG v6 on another machine to see what, if any differences might appear from working with TMG v9.0.5. Naturally, I can't use my current project, but I have an old TMG v5 project backup that I can use.  It is smaller, but still fairly large.  I'll post my findings tomorrow.

Connie,

 

I do not know how Map My Family Tree works and that makes it harder for me to help you. It would help me if you told me/us your genealogical goal… Does Map My Family Tree add lat/long to your place entries? Does it make a map or other tool where you can explore the locations of your ancestors?

 

With regard to your T2G question, you can use it to export a subset of your TMG data to GEDCOM by adding a Person Filter. However, you may have an issue with that approach because you will add gaps to your data as you do so. A gap in this instance is a broken relationship between individuals because one person is in GEDCOM file “A” and the other is in GEDCOM file “B”. Depending on the circumstances (the people, the event, your T2G settings, etc.), you may have events that are not in any GEDCOM file or are in multiple GEDCOM files.

 

For example, imagine a married couple. One is in GEDCOM file “A” and the other is in GEDCOM file “B”. Where should the marriage event be? In “A”, or in “B”:, or in both?

 

You can try to split your data into logical subsets where such issues are minimized, but unless you have distinct islands in your data—where there are no relationships between people on island 1 and people on island 2—then you can’t eliminate the issue entirely.

 

My suggestion is to learn how to optimize Map My Family Tree to avoid the issue, or be more patient, or both. Also, there may be other ways to reach your genealogical goal, such as using Second Site or GedSite to add mapping data to a local-use web site. I assume that Map My Family Tree has a lot of mapping features and so Second Site or GedSite won’t provide everything that a dedicated mapping tool provides. On the other hand, you may not need/want the extra features provided by Map My Family Tree.

I chose to use a GEDCOM with MMFT because I wanted the TMG ID numbers, not the RIN.  I am checking for "bad" locations and correcting what I can in TMG. I tried splitting the GEDCOM by states, using a Flag a created in TMG but the results still cause 86,000 locations, which is hard on MMFT, but eventually loade and reported a lot of "errors"  

I am interested in how MMFT works with reading the TMG project file directly.  Can you them update the TMG project from MMFT?  Will try a sample project. I don't think I ever will be able to have wait long enough for it to load my full database, - well maybe overnight!

I have something like 235,000 locations.  But that translates to only about 7,500 distinct places.

The one thing I would love to have in MMFT is the ability to print (or otherwise export) the place errors.  If I could export them to a spreadsheet and arrange it in the same way as the TMG Master Place List, it would be easy to find them and see the context (in the Tag) and the associated Source Citation to verify the place as to its accuracy. 

I have not found that correcting a place in TMG would also correct that place in MMFT without exiting and re-starting MMFT.  Making many changes in T<G and then re-starting MMFT makes more sense.
