I am using Gramps 3.3.1-1 on Ubuntu and cannot find the addon for the Census Gramplet when I right click on the sidebar. All of my census sources have the data info of key: census and value: USyear. How to I access the Census Gramplet? -- Some of it's magic! Some of it's tragic! But I've had a good life always! - Jimmy Buffett *Ida Louise* |

Hello, This one's probably for Nick Hall: I've just started to redo my genealogical data, and have decided to use the Census Gramplet, since it tidies up a good deal of "detritus" that I have in my current database. However, I see that the UK1911 listing is missing three columns that should be between the Occupation and Where Born columns. It's easy enough to add them to the .xml file and have them appear in the gramplet, just by adding this... <column> <_attribute>Industry or Service</_attribute> <size>15</size> </column> <column> <_attribute>E, W or OA</_attribute> <size>10</size> </column> <column> <_attribute>At Home</_attribute> <size>10</size> </column> ...in the right place. The question is, should I be adding anything elsewhere, to avoid any (potential) adverse effects. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" It belongs to them, let's give it back Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil |

Brad, You can safely add columns to the xml definitions. The only important tag is <_attribute>. This is the name of the attribute that we use to store the data for the column in the event reference object for each person. The only problem might occur in the future if you choose a different attribute name for a column than everyone else. I try to make the names consistent between each census. For the 1901 census I called "E, W or OA" "Work Type". This would only be an issue if I wrote some kind of utility to export data, manipulate data or migrate it to certificates for example. Nick.

This would only be an issue if I wrote some kind I'll rename mine, for the sake of consistency. One further question; Is there a particular reason those three columns were left out of the 1911 section of the gramplet, and are they likely to appear in a future version?

I can't even remember who added the 1911 census. It appears in the very first xml file. I expect that it was just an oversight. I'll review all the versions of the xml file and get back to you.

Brad, It looks like I need to spend a little bit of time tidying up the Census add-ons. You are correct that we didn't include the Infirmity column because it was obscured. Is it available now? The images on Ancestry don't seems to show it (or perhaps some do?). There are also a few outstanding bugs: 4979: [Addon] Way to avoid use of a missing key on Census Addon 5387: Error message when adding first person to Census Gramplet 5999: Census gramplet looses current edit when losing focus I have to admit that I really haven't had the time, or just chose to do more interesting things. :) Nick.

As of 1st January 2012 it was possible to see them. I don't subscribe to Ancestry, so don't know what their image copies are like, but on FindMyPast, the Infirmity column is no longer obscured.

The infirmity column was redacted when the 1911 census was released a few years before it was expected. Now that the usual release date has passed (1st Jan 2012), the full returns are available - including the previously redacted data. Dave...

I'm sure that was reason we didn't add the infirmity column. I use Ancestry and the content is still blocked on the images I have looked at recently. Perhaps FindMyPast is better? I'll add the Infirmity column now. Nick. On 22/09/12 22:36, Dave Cross wrote: > The infirmity column was redacted when the 1911 census was released a > few years before it was expected.

You are correct to say that Ancestry is still redacting the infirmity column, despite the fact that since 2011 this has no longer been necessary. This site explains the reason for redacting some information. http://www.1911census.co.uk/content/default.aspx?r=24&101 I expect you can see the 'unexpurgated' version on the above site, through their search facility, but it is a pay-per-view site.

You can. FindMyPast also has the same images. In fact, 1911census & FMP are all part of the same company. Why Ancestry are still showing the incomplete ones I'm not sure, but would guess that's what they bought, so they're stuck with it. I would stress though, that it is just a guess on my part. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" To the ends of the earth, you look for sense in it No Time To Be 21 - The Adverts |

I have just recently started using the census gramplet addon and I have a couple of questions about it. 1. What is the best way to use the gramplet for U.S. federal census data for years before 1850? I would like to have the census event shared between the family members represented, but I'm not sure what the best way to do that is for those early years. 2. Has anyone worked on adding state census data to the gramplet or is there documentation on how to add a new census? I have data from Iowa and Missouri, as well as a few other states, and it would be nice to use the gramplet for those as well. Thanks, Allen Crider |

Although, none of those links say how to create new census forms. But it is fairly easy, and it would be great if you donate those back to Gramps if you create them.

I had looked at the documentation, but I'm still not sure what is a good way to handle census data from before 1850. Beginning in 1850, U.S. census records had a line for each person. However, for 1840 and earlier, there was only one line per household listing the number of people in various age groups. If I enter it into census gramplet that way, it creates an event for one person. Is anyone else sharing the event for other members of the household? I don't mind working on adding information for state census records to the census.xml file as it is convenient, but I didn't want to do it if others had already done so. Where would I submit new census forms when I get them done? Allen On 01/26/2013 06:33 AM, Doug Blank wrote: > On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 6:36 AM, J.

If there's only one line per household, you cannot know with any certainty who is staying there on census night. As such, adding data to anybody other than the person named(1) in the census return is speculative. (1) That's assuming anybody is named at all.

IDK how the Gramps directory structure works on a Mac, but in Linux the Census Gramplet files are located under ~/.gramps/grampsXX/plugins/Census, where '~' means the user's home directory and 'XX' is two digits representing the Gramps version (in my case they are 34). -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Early morning when I wake up, I look like Kiss but without the make up Strong - Robbie Williams |

Thanks Brad, My mistake was trusting Spotlight (OS X's indexed search of all discs) would find all files. It doesn't. For those that care, on my Mac the gramps configuration directory is in /Users/<user_name>/Library/Application Support/gramps/grampsXX And a free OS X, (allegedly) search everything application is EasyFind.
