Try Gustavus, Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon (CA), Alaska, United States It is in Geo Regards Henry -Original Message- From: Chris Summers [mailto:genealog...@summerscs.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2015 12:32 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area

Re: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

I added most of the locations to the USA County Verifier. Census areas should be in the USA County Verifier. How are you entering the location? Don't add "Census Area" or other designation for that area - just enter the name. You can confirm that they're in the USA County Verifier by looking at

RE: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

Adding to the confusion. I assume “CA” means Census Area. But I’m sure many people at first glance will think Canada or even California. John S. Adams Ventura, CA (not a Census Area) Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Henry T. Peterson Jr. Sent: Wednesday, November 4, 2015 12:41 PM To:

Re: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

I am a glutton for the Census, so I cannot resist sharing the following gem from the U.S. Census Bureau. I find that it answers many of my questions about U.S. Census geography and thus about how I might enter a location. Geographic Areas Reference Manual,

RE: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

The State of Alaska is divided up into Boroughs for the purposes of local government and administration. This vast area has no local-level government other than that of school districts and municipalities within its limits. Many of the villages do have tribal governments, however. Except within

Lynn et al, You can edit PDFs in recent versions of Microsoft Word. There shouldn't be any problem adding a Word doc in media. Same way you add a PDF. Cathy Kathy Meyer wrote: > > that worked perfectly. Thanks, Lynn :-) > > On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 12:07 PM, Lynn Dosch

RE: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

I'm a glutton for punishment and this topic of a county name for Gustavus was bothering me. So, I picked up the phone and called Gustavus City Hall. The wonderful clerk there reminded me that Alaska does not have counties but rather "boroughs" similar to Louisiana's "parishes". However, Alaska

RE: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

You could still enter that geographic description in the county area. Even if you decided to leave the county area blank, you should then add a note providing the specific information. You didn't state when your son was married in Alaska but I would assume that it was post Alaskan statehood.

[LegacyUG] Adding a Word Document to Media

Is there a bug in this area? Or am I doing something wrong? I have a Word document that I wanted to add to Media (source). When I add it, I choose 'document' rather than picture but it just sits there, does nothing at all. Images add just fine. Is that the problem? It needs to be in an image

Re: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

If it were me, I would use that County field to enter "Hoonah-Angoon Census Area"; the field doesn't have to be used for 'county' specifically. Many countries don't have such a designation. It just gives you a way to record from smallest municipality to largest. If you didn't record it in such

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding a Word Document to Media

I've had luck saving a Word doc as PDF and then attaching the PDF document as media - document. These are a graphic format, so maybe that's why it works. It opens again. Only thing is, a PDF doc isn't editable (unless you have the full Adobe Acrobat program), so if your document must be editable,

[LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county?

When I add a USA based location for birth, death or marriage events I usually list the city, county, state and USA in the location field. However my son married his wife in a small town in Alaska near Glacier Bay National Park that does not belong to any county. The town, Gustavus is a part of

[LegacyUG] Finding unmarried people

I have a feeling I might be having a brain-dead moment this morning, but I wanted to make a list of everyone in my file who died after a certain date and has no spouse recorded, I can't see how to do it! I know how to do an AND Search, and I know how to find those who are marked as "Never

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding unmarried people

There's a miscellaneous search for people who are married (which appears to include those with partners). If you tagged those found with that search, then those without that tag would be those without a spouse recorded. Then you could add your other criteria. Cathy Jenny M Benson wrote: > > I
