TMG 5 - UK Source Templates

Important Points to Note before you Start

1.  These Source Templates have been designed for use with a variety of UK sources in my own TMG datasets. They reflect my own particular preferences in recording & citing sources, which may not suit others. Nor are they in any way comprehensive, given the wide range of UK sources available. They are offered as a help to fellow users of TMG for UK genealogy, particularly those who are new to the program. They are offered freely, with no restrictions on use, copying or distribution, provided they are not used commercially or otherwise for profit. Please feel free to amend & improve them to suit your own needs.

2. It is not at present possible to import the Source Templates directly into TMG 5. Instead you will have to import a backup of a TMG 4 dataset in the form of a *.SQZ file called UKTMG5.SQZ. This dataset contains only one person (called Dummy Person), plus the Source Templates. You must Import UKTMG5.SQZ as a new dataset into the Project in which you want to use the Source Templates. You must then merge the UKTMG5 dataset into your existing dataset. 

To Import the *.SQZ file containing the Source Templates

1.   Make a note of the folder in which you have stored the *.SQZ file containing the Source Templates (named UKTMG5.SQZ). It is easiest to use the Desktop. 

2.   Start TMG 5 and Open the Project into which you want to import the *.SQZ file. Now back it up. If anything goes wrong with the Import, you can restore your Project backup & no harm will have been done.

3.   On the File menu, select Import. 

4.   Step 1: Welcome. Choose Simple Wizard.

5.   Step 2: Import from. In the “Import file type” box choose the second option: The Master Genealogist v4.x or earlier BACKUP (*.SQZ). Click on the Locate button and navigate to the Desktop (or wherever you have stored the UKTMG5.SQZ file). Highlight it and click on Select. The Wizard will work briefly and then display the message: “This dataset contains 1 people TMG Version 4.0d”. Click on Next.

6.   Step 3: Import to. In the “Name of this dataset window” delete the existing text and type Templates. Click on Next.

7.   Step 4: Finish. Click on Finish.

8. A window will appear called “Import is Complete” asking the question: “What kind of data set would you like this to be?”. Click on Unlocked. 

9. On the File menu, select Dataset Manager. There should be 2 datasets listed – your original dataset and Templates. Click on Merge.

10. The “Merge Data Sets” window will appear. Choose whichever option will merge the Templates into your existing dataset. Click on OK. A box will appear stating “The merge was completed successfully.”. Click on OK. Highlight the name of the Templates dataset in the column headed “Dataset Name” and click on Disable. Click on Close.

11. Your original dataset should now contain all the information from the Templates dataset. Go to the Tools menu and select Source Types. Check to see that the Source Templates are all there. There should be 82 of them, in addition to the templates you already had in your dataset. Once you are absolutely certain that the merge has been succesful, delete “Dummy Person” from your dataset and delete the Templates dataset. 

12. If you have problems, e-mail me at caroline.gurney@ntlworld.com & I will try to help.
