[BUG] #248

Closed medows1 closed 2 years ago

medows1 commented 2 years ago

Version Number problem appears in v8.3.1.0

Describe the bug Not all errors as described in FTA are being reported. One example found in my GEDCOM found relates to "Facts dated after death". After loading data into FTA I put same file into RootsMagic8. It highlighted that a person had 5 facts after death which were not reported into FTA. I checked this out in my Ancestry Online tree and these 5 facts were entered after the death date. JOHN DOUBTFIRE (1819-1875) was my example.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Load GEDCOM file.
  2. Review data error list and look for facts after death.

Expected behavior Any fact after death should be shown in the error list.

Additional context I have been running FTA for several weeks and this has happened on more than 1 occasion. The only thoughts I had were a) there maybe a finite numbers of errors allowed in a run but I would think that is unlikely. b) The fact type was not a recognised fact type for validating ---> fact type was OCCUPATION. This fault was recognised by RootsMagic. c) Another fault where burial before death may be preventing other checks being done correctly. .

I’ll need a GEDCOM snippet of the problem to see what is going on. Can you export that one individual to a file, and check it’s still shows the error as I’ve not seen this before.

You can either attach the file here as a text file or email it to me at ftanalyzer@gmail.com

Actually are ALL the fact types occupation? If so then yes this is ignored as it’s perfectly possible to observe an occupation for a father particularly on a document dated well after they have died. For example when a child gets married long after the father has died the marriage certificate will name the father and give his occupation. So if you note the fathers occupation with the date of the marriage, which is an extremely common practice, then that fact will be after death.

So if it’s only occupation facts then this is working as intended. I’m not sure it would add anything to incorrectly suggest this is an error? At best an option that was off by default that users could turn on?

Assuming it is just occupation facts as no post in 3 weeks to say otherwise.
