Ahnenblattportal

When I put funeral event, it shows apart in personal report. There's any way to put it as a basic event next to Born, Dead and Burial?

Hi JuanSo,

very welcome to the forum!

I was pretty sure that the personal report is strictly historic, so any event would be ordered by date. That doesn't seem to be the case.

I have multiple questions:
- is this an Ahnenblatt graphic? What exactly is it?
- where did you get the symbols from? How are they defined?
- what is the difference between "funeral" and "entierro"? What's the name of those two fields/tags in GEDCOM? Is any one of those two a self-defined event?

Before being able to help, I would want to understand what this all is.

-The icons that I use, are put with Windows icons (Windows key + .) or ASCIII code. I select to each event to see more grapichal and clear report, and not only a lot of letters in a large block text

- I answer it before

- "Funeral" is the religious act in a church. Here where I live (Mallorca), we celebrate funeral and burial ("entierro", at cemetery) in different dates.

May be "funeral" doesn't appears with basic life events, cause is a religious event? Only appears at first block civil life events as born, death and burial?

Some more questions:

- Do you use Ahnenblatt in Spanish language? There are a lot of menu items lacking translation (being in English instead). This should be addressed, doesn't it?
- If I create a 'registro personal', it looks quite different from your example:
a) I don't understand how the symbols are inserted before the date; do you put them into the date field? Then the computer may have difficulties to sort by date...
b) I get this order: sexo, ocupación, nacimiento, defunctión, padre, madre, hermanos, pareja(s), hijos, notas etc. - with some ugly '@' symbols

And I still don't know where the funeral event comes from: Did you create that event on your own? If I try to add 'funeral' to a person, there is no such event to select.

So, I think, 'funeral' does not appear with the basic events as it is a user generated additional event and not part of the standard GEDCOM events at all. Which means: The computer has no idea what this event means and where it belongs - that way it will always be at the end.

BTW, the menu items are not in the right place while previewing the personal list - you need to click right to the button if you want to close the preview! Which is not the case in the German version.

Yes. It's better to us, spanish users

I use Text Module option in Preferences (see the picture). There, you can add those icons and they will show before the date in personal report. As I said, its only to look a more graphical report, not text only

Yes. Is created event.

I don't know this. I have a List window whit options, and I can't do anything more. Only mark or dismark check boxes to make a personal report. In spanish version we can't see all words at left menus. And we can't expand them to see correctly

If you use icons, you can see Personal Report as this. I used some icons on Windows, to Born, Marriage, Death, Burial, Funeral, Sources, Places, Time, Militar, Notes or Adresses. I think with those icons, reports looks like more beauty

Hi,

thank you a lot for reporting!

If I set my program to Spanish, it looks a bit different: The text labels in the software are smaller and don't use so much space. But that depends a lot on the screen you use - maybe, this isn't an option for you. So, not seeing all the labels isn't a problem of your Spanish desktop, it's a problem of Windows addressing different screens.

I, for example, have set the graphic scaling on Windows to 150%. Which results in the text size you can see.

Yes, was the Windows scale I reduced it to 110% (with my 1920x1080 screen) and now I can see correctly all words in menu items at Preferences and List windows.

Thanks for your help!
