SOSA numbering

[sjager]

Hello,

How can I save a new gedcom file with only SOSA numbers? I made the list with SOSA numbers and that seems to be fine.

I use Ancestris 12 windows and read the manual but I still do not understand. It looks like I have to do that first via the tab <Mark special individuals> but which one and how? And after that via save as I understand.

Many thanks.

When you have numbered your Sosa, if you had chosen to keep in your GECDCOM, this will create in your entities a special tag that you can use to filter the entities you keep in your new file.

When you "save as" new file, choose the "Filter by entities" tab and check "Only include individuals with following tag" and enter the sosa tag.
_SOSA if you used Sosa numbering
_DABOVILLE if you use the d'Aboville numbering
_SOSADABOVILLE if you use the special Sosa/ d'Aboville numbering

Hello Zurga,

After I do choose "Filter by entities" I get a different view. I do not see the check possibility. Maybe I can send you a screenshot?

The screenshot is here : https://docs.ancestris.org/books/user-guide/page/save-as
Try to expand the windows if the text field is not shown.

Hello Zurga,

The part from "Only ....... Tag:" and the text field is not shown in my window. How do I expand this (if this is maybe the problem)?

Many thanks.

Like any other windows, just click on the border and move the mouse.

If this is not the windows displayed, could you put a screenshot of your windows ?

Hello Zurga,

Sorry I am not an IT guy, but this is working.

However it seems that not all SOSA numbers show up in the saved new gedcom file. For instance I do not see SOSA number 3278287 G22 coming back. Can I send you the original file including SOSA numbers so you can have a look for me?

Many thanks.

I don't see any trouble.
When I create a new numbering, there is 1148 individuals marked.
When I create a new file from marked with _SOSA tag individuals, I get 1148 individuals in the new file.
Your ancestor 3278287 is in the new file.

Hello Zurga,

I just noticed what went wrong all the time. In the tab "Filter by View" 1064 individuals were marked. Seemingly it overruled the tab "Filter by Entities" all the time. After I unmarked the "Filter by View" tab I indeed got the number of 1148 individuals and my ancestor 3278287 was finally included in my output. And another 83 individuals seemingly.

All the filters are in "and" mode.
The entities should match all filters to be included.
