"Associations state tool" window for "Check Associations Data" - tool

The Check Associations Data tool provides a quick way to find People who have an Association (from either direction). As there is no method that allows seeking a specific Association type or pattern of types. (In this case: “God*”.) This tool comes closest.

Usage

Accessed from the menu Tools → Utilities → Check Associations Data… the results will be shown in the Associations state tool window.

You can sort on the Type of link column, then manually look up the Person in each line and Edit the Person.

Example next steps

The specific workflow AFTER opening the 2 people could be:

  1. determine which person would be the Godchild, open their Person Editor to look for Baptism/Christening events where they are “Primary”,
  2. create an events if missing, open other Persons Editor,
  3. drag/share Baptism/Christening event to that person if missing,
  4. set Godparent role on shared event, open all “God*” Associations,
  5. move any Association Sources/Notes to appropriate section of the shared Event,
  6. save Event,
  7. delete the Association,
  8. OK to commit the 2 Edit Persons.
