I wrote previously on this subject but it seems to have disappeared. When I use WebSearch>Search FamilySearch, the birth date does not transfer over (see FS sample-a). Only when I manually add the birth place  (see FS sample-b ) 

does FS perform the correct carry-over. 

 

I am using universally recognized places and have also used all four data tools prior to performing the search. I noted that I wrote FS and they said the mechanics as to what is carried over is the responsibility of RM. They wrote:

I don't know if the two screen-shot files transferred but they can be found at: www.hartshorn.us/FS-sample.htm    

When using RM7 in conjunction with FamilySearch (FS), some elements are not copied over. Birth place must be manually entered. Other elements, such as spouse and parents are also not copied over. I wrote FS about this problem and they referred me back to you. They wrote:

My database contains a myriad of folks with multiple spouses. For some reason, some spouses are blank. Those who are known duplicates of an existing spouse were once difficult to fix. If you click on the blank spouse and identify this person as "XX" (as given name) and "ZZ" (as surname), merging the factual spouse with "XX ZZ" is a snap.

Please confirm to all of us who fear that Ancestry.com is absorbing everything genealogical that you will not sell out RM to this monster.

I don't know how I did it but a blank name was inadvertently entered as a child. I have tried to delete it (no luck) and rename it so I could delete it. Is there a way to delete this entry?
