I've found a Voting Register from November 11, 1927 and I'd like to create a tree for the individuals listed.
It lists #, Military Register #, Surname, Given Name, Father's Given Name, Age, Occupation, Place of Residence. My issue with the age is it's stated "Greek-style" ... usually 1 year older than what a westerner would normally state. How can I create a tree for 1927, and include people's ages in their boxes, with approximate birth dates. Eg, voter #1 has an age of 68, so you would assume he was born in 1859, but it's actually 1860. (With the Military Register #, I can find them in another catalog as long as the year is correct) I considered marking people as deceased as of 1928, but I'd rather leave that blank until I find their actual dates of death Is there another more elegant solution? So, for voter #1, born in 1860, how do I show his age as 68 and him still living? Thanks

right click on an empty area of the genomap, choose 'Properties' from the bottom of the context menu, then in 'Date Reference' column, enter 1928

The tree looks great on my laptop, when I adjust each genomap's Date Reference, but when I upload it to the internet, it defaults back to today's date.
Is there somewhere I can adjust this?
Thanks in advance!

That'll be because the current Narrative Report doesn't take any notice of the GenoMap Date Reference. I'll take a look and see if I can tweak it.

I think I have managed to sort something out for this. As usual a little more complicated than I first thought, such as converting the Reference Date to binary for calculation purposes because of the format it was presented in by the Report Generator API.
I did a couple of things differently to GenoPro:- I noticed that for a deceased individual GenoPro always shows the age at death rather than age relative to the Reference Date, even when the latter is earlier than the date of death. I decided to instead show age at the reference date and not show deceased cross if individual is not yet dead at that point in time. The date of death is still shown in the top label however. I also chose to 'grey-out' the name and date labels for individuals born after the reference date to provide a visual indication. Ages for such individuals are show as negative numbers as per GenoPro. The attached zip file contains three files to be extracted into your Narrative Common\Code skins folder replacing existing files. The 3 files are Init.vbs, Util.vbs & genomap.svg

Thank you!
Finally had a chance to generate a report with the new files, and the following Report Log was generated ... ran a quick search against the Runtime Error Code but nothing came up:

Apologies for the late response, no excuses - just slipped my mind. Must be an age thing.
Having looked at where the crash occurred I could see it is down to the date reference used. A quick test showed that it doesn't like anything but a full date e.g. 01/01/1920 not just the year e.g. 1920. Could you change your date and try again? I will fix this at some point by adding the missing bits to a partial date before converting to a serial date.

ok ... it worked all the way through this time, but at the it told me:
Page not found or moved The page http://familytrees.genopro.com/xxx/Eklogiko/default.htm you requested no longer exists because the author may have renamed or deleted his/her publication.
It wasn't created in the first place, so not sure how I could have deleted it?

If it ran all the way through without error, the report should exist. The only time I have come across this error before is when the path contains spaces and GenoPro did not locate the report correctly, although this does not appear to be the case here (unless 'xxxx' has spaces). Have you tried to access the report directly from your browser?

Awesome .. I typed in the url with my "handle" instead of my email address, and it worked properly this time.
Thank you for your help!
