Addon:Census Check
This is a Third-party Addon. The Addon/Plugin system is controlled by the Plugin Manager. Please use carefully on data that is backed up, and help make it better by reporting any issues to the bug tracker. |
This description applies to both the Census Check and the Census Check Up addons, the first shows descendants, while the second shows ancestors.
The Census Check or Census Check Up - Quick View shows:
- Names of people
- Birth and death dates
- Whether a census form event exists or should exist for that person.
Contents
Usage
You can activate the Quick View by right-clicking on a person's name in the People Category View, and selecting Quick View > CensusCheck or Quick View > CensusCheckUp
Features
The quickview shows the selected person, any spouse(s) and their children (including step-children of the selected person) for Census Check or ancestors for Census Check up. The children are shown in the order they occur in the database.
The results are shown as follows:
- - the person was not alive for this census, so no census form event is expected.
- OK a census form event has been found
- miss a census form event should be present, but has not been found
- closed a census form event has not been found, but 100 years have not yet elapsed since the person was born, so the record will probably be closed.
The addon is intended to be used as a research guide to show which census records should be looked for. Only a single generation is shown so that the research task is not too overwhelming.
Double-click a row in the Quick View to bring up a dialog showing the person associated with the name.
Prerequisites
This quickview is part of the Forms addon; it is not available separately as it does not make any sense without the Forms addon.
