Legacy Family Tree 5.0 Deluxe Edition adds the following features that the
Standard Edition does not have. Click on the appropriate links to read the
details about each new feature:
ESSENTIAL NEW FEATURES
1. Geo Location Database - A collection of nearly three million current
locations worldwide divided into six regions:
PA - Pacific Islands
US - United States
AF - Africa
AM - Americas (non-USA)
AS - Asia
EU - Europe
2. Each location includes the name of the city, the county or province, the
state, if any, and the country name. Along with this information the
latitude and longitude coordinates are also included. Searching can be done
by any field(s). A Radius search is included to find cities within a
specified radius (in miles or kilometers) of a location.
NEW VIEW
3. New Descendant View Tab - This new view shows a descendant chart of the
current person. Any person can be edited by highlighting them and clicking
the Edit button. If the screen is not wide enough to show the entire line
of information for a person, highlighting the person displays all their info
at the bottom, along with the relationship of that person to the top person
in the list. Double-clicking on a person puts him/her at the top of the
list and the chart is regenerated. Columns are user-selectable and savable.
4. US County Verifier - When you exit a location field, Legacy checks the
validity of county names for locations in the United States (if the Verify
US Counties in Place Names option is turned on in the Customize section).
An error is reported if:
� No county by that name was ever found in that state. (This could be
also
be the result of a misspelling.)
� The county was not in existence in this state at the date specified.
� The County had been dissolved in this state before the date specified.
When an error is reported, you can choose to view a list of all the counties
in that state to see when they were founded and their term of existence.
5. Child-Parent Relationships - The link between a child and his/her father
and mother can now be specified and sourced. The existing Child Status
field, which used to cover both the child status and the relationship
between child and parents, now only refers to the status, such as Twin,
Triplet, Stillborn, etc. The new Parent Relationship fields are used to
record how the child is associated with each parent, such as Biological,
Adopted, Guardian, Sealed, Step, as well as a place to record Challenged and
Disproved relationships. These new fields are displayed on the Children
List window as well as the Parents List window.
6. Multiple Lines of Descent Report - There is a new book report style
called Multiple Lines of Descent. This is similar to a Register-style
descendant narrative book but you can select two or more ends of lines to
include in the report. When the report is generated, the first line is
printed as a normal Descendant report would be. Then the next line is
started on the next page, and if it intersects with the first line, a
message is printed indicating where to look in the first line for the
remainder of the descendant line.
INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE REPORTS
7. Reports in Different Languages - Many reports in Legacy 5.0 can now be
generated in several languages including German, French, Spanish, Norwegian,
and Dutch. Additional languages are being added. You can now send reports
to your friends and relatives in other countries that they can actually
understand!
NEW REPORTS
8. Calendar Creator - Create your own calendars, complete with pictures,
birthdays, and anniversaries. There are options to include a cover picture
(front and back), picture pages above each calendar month, and complete
control over color, layout, shadows, fonts, page size, etc. Create complete
yearly calendars suitable for gifts.
9. File ID Numbers Report - A new report lists all the filing numbers used
in a family file and shows where they have been used. Options let you
filter the report to specific areas if desired.
10. Name List Reports with Multiple Lines per Record - You can now design
your list reports with up to three rows of fields per record, thus greatly
increasing the amount of information for each person.
MASTER LIST OPTIONS
11. Master Location List Mapping- There is now a new button called "Maps"
that shows up when a location is highlighted that has latitude and longitude
values entered. Clicking the button currently takes you to MapQuest and
displays the appropriate map showing a star at the designated location. If
there is no lat/long, you are taken to Yahoo maps using just the City, State
parts of the location.
12. Master Location Maintenance - You can now Expand and Contract state
names, Canadian provinces, several other country breakdowns, and country
names in your Master Location List. This can be done for all locations,
tagged or untagged locations, or verified or unverified locations. There is
also an option to add or remove "USA" from USA locations. This can be
applied to either the Long or Short location names.
13. Save Your Place in Master Lists - New "Set Bookmark" and "Go To
Bookmark" options have been added to all master lists. This lets you save
your place from one session to another - helpful, for example, while working
through the Master Location list, cleaning up the entries. These new
options are reached by clicking the Options button on any master list
window.
PRIVACY OPTIONS
14. Private Individuals - Any individual in the family file can now be
marked as Private. All reports now have the option to include or exclude
these private persons. If cousin Harry tells you to keep his dearly
departed wife's information off your web site and out of your reports, you
can now easily do so.
15. Private Event Definitions - You can now mark any Master Event Definition
as Private so that they can be excluded from reports and web pages.
CONVENIENCE
16. Event Definitions - Added a checkbox to exclude an event name from the
Potential Problems report. Things like Obituaries and Probate customarily
happen after a person death. These event types can now be excluded from
checking.
17. Note Fields - Added Ctrl-F to all note fields for searching. F3 then
searches for the next occurrence.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL NEW FEATURES
18. File ID Numbers - A new option lets you easily find the next available
file reference number in whatever format you have been using.
19. Family/Pedigree Views - Hover Information - Holding the cursor over the
Spouses icon shows the names of all the spouses in the popup tooltips.
Hovering over the Parents icon shows the names of all the parents. Hovering
over the AKA icon shows all the alternate names for that person.
20. Entering Information - A new feature now remembers the last ten
locations that you have used. You can then pop them up on any Location field
and copy them in with one click. You just right-click on the "in" label in
front of a location field on the Information, Event, and Marriage forms to
get the list. The ten most recently added locations are recorded with the
most recent at the top of the list. Older locations sink down the list and
fall off the bottom as new locations are added. They are also saved between
sessions. This feature is very helpful when entering recurring locations
that don't "sort to the top" for the auto-fill feature.
21. Legacy 5.0 also now remembers the last ten dates entered. You can then
pop them up on any Date field by right-clicking on the label to the left of
the field. The Date feature works the same as the location feature above.
22. Family View - Who is marked as Living? A new feature colors the Husband
and Wife labels as well as the child numbers if they are marked as Living.
(This is set on the Data Format tab in the Customize screen. You can turn
the option on and off and also select the color to use.)
23. Events - A new Event Clipboard lets you memorize and play back events
saving you lots of time. Sources, pictures, and addresses connected with
the event are also saved to the clipboard. See Add or Edit an Event.
NEW REPORTING OPTIONS
24. Marriage Screen - You can now specify your own words for "Spouse" and
"Marriage" for each couple. If the couple wasn�t married then you might use
words like Partner and Partnership. These words are then used on all the
reports in the appropriate places. (Beta testers, please let us know if you
find any reports where the replacement words are not being used.)
25. Picture Family Tree Chart - The options to print 1, 2, and 4 generations
has been added. If printing one generation, you can move the picture
higher, lower, left, or right.
26. Name List Report � You can build three separate custom lines per record
now. This gives you much more flexibility when laying out the information
you want to include on the report. There is also a new option to print the
report to comma-delimited (CSV) format.
27. Timeline Reports - You can now color code the boxes.
28. Descendant Charts - There is a new numbering option, d'Aboville.
NEW VIEW OPTIONS
29. Chronology View - There are now options to include the death event of
Parents, Spouses, and Children.
30. Index View and Name List - Direct line individuals are bolded.
AND MORE...
31. Web Page Creation - There is now an option to use a solid background
color instead of white or a patterned graphic.
32. Marriage List - You can now click on the Options button on the bottom of
the Marriage List and from the popup menu select to change the sort order
from "Sort by Surname, Given Name" to "Sort by Given Name, Surname".
33. Desktop Wallpaper - You can now select any picture within Legacy and
have it applied as the background of your computer desktop.
34. Event Sentences - Whenever you save a set of Event Sentence Definitions,
they are "memorized." When defining a subsequent set of definition, you can
click on a sentence label to repeat the last "memorized" sentence.
Right-clicking on a label offers to repeat the entire set of eight
definitions. This is useful if you want to use an existing set of
definitions as a template when adding a new user-defined event.
Other great Deluxe features that continue from version 4.0�
35. Alternate Names in the Name List � Alternate name spellings (AKA�s) can
now be included in the Name List. Now you can see all the names a person
was known by.
36. User ID# in the Name List � You can now show your own file numbering
system sorted in the Name List.
37. Master Location List � You can now sort all your locations without
including any leading prepositions, such as "of," "near," "at," "from,"
"close to," "off," etc. Now all the "of Bergen, NJ"s will sort with the
"Bergen, NJ"s. This new option is on the Sort Location List screen.
38. Event Report � Legacy has a great new report�a report showing
individuals and the selected events related to them.
39. User Defined Internet search URLs - Now you can add your own favorite
Internet search sites right into Legacy and search for anyone in your file
with the click of a button. Save groups of your hard-found search sites for
quick retrieval.
40. New Chronology View and Report - Quickly see a person and all the events
surround his/her life, including vitals, events, notes, children, marriages,
marriage events, marriage notes. Different types of events can be color
coded for easy identification. You can also produce a nice printed report
containing a built-in timeline of a person�s life events.
41. New Index View - The Index View displays all the individuals in your
family file. The information displayed includes the record number (RIN),
full name, sex, and the birth and death date and place. The columns can be
customized to display many different pieces of information.
42. Global Spell Checking - You can now have Legacy run through your entire
family file and check the spelling on any note type field. You can even
stop and resume at will.
43. Distance and Bearing Calculator � You can now use those strange latitude
and longitude values for something useful. This new calculator will tell
you the distance in miles (or kilometers) between any two points on earth.
It will also tell you which direction to travel. You can also convert
decimal bearing values to the needed degrees, minutes and seconds. It even
ties into the Master Location List where you can select any two cities (with
lat. and long. values) and quickly figure out how far they are apart and in
which direction.
44. Ancestor Coloring Option - Ancestor and Descendant type reports and many
screens can now show colors associated with one of the four grandparents
lines. There is also an option to color males and females differently on
reports.
45. ToDo Clipboard � You can now memorize ToDo items for quick playback on
other individuals. Often an item applies to more than one person. The new
clipboard feature saves you a lot of typing�
46. Quick Copy to Source Clipboard � Now, while looking at the Assigned
Sources screen, you can quickly copy one or more source citations right to
the Source Clipboard. This lets you continue the citation of an existing
source faster than ever.
47. Advanced Set Living � You can now have Legacy intelligently run through
your family file and set the Living tag to NO for all the individuals that
are certainly long-since departed. By analyzing surrounding information and
watching the generation numbers, Legacy will set the proper value for all
those ancestors without any birth or death dates.
48. Location, Source Citation and Master Source Verification Tags � You can
now mark master locations and master sources with a Verified tag to indicate
that you have checked them as being valid. For example, you may have a city
listed under two different counties in your Master Location List and
verified that they are both correct according to the timeframe they were
each used. Marking them as "Verified" will remind you not to combine them
into one location in the future.
49. Event Sentences � Each event type now has its own sentence structure
that is used when displaying the event information in reports. Of course,
you can change the sentences around to any way you want them.
50. More Tags � We have added six more tag numbers for a total of nine.
This lets you create many more groups of individuals and marriages.
51. New Picture Center � In the past you had to go to an individual or
marriage and then assign each picture one-at-a-time, selecting the location
and filename each time. Now, with the new Picture Center, you can view a
list of your pictures and a list of individuals side-by-side and make
assignments with the click of a button. You can even assign a picture to
more than one person at a time. Just highlight all the people you want to
link a picture to and click Assign. It was never easier or faster to add
pictures to your family members.
52. Move Non-Sources from Master Source List to Notes � Only true source
information belongs in the Master Source List. Oftentimes, when you receive
information from other people, you find sources containing things that
really belong in the Notes fields. This helpful feature automatically moves
non-source entries into the notes for the individuals they belong to.
53. Move Non-Locations from Master Location List to Notes � Trying to keep
your Master Location List cleaned up is a full-time job. When you import
information from other people, the location fields often contain information
that does not belong there. Often, this information is valuable and worth
keeping. Using this handy feature, you can quickly move the information
from the Location List to the Notes fields where it belongs.
54. Produce PDF files from previewed reports. These can be sent by email
and read in the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe. They retain all the
formatting, lines and color of the original report so the recipient can view
the reports in all their glory!
55. Compare Two Files for Duplicates allows you to see if there are
individuals or lines in another file that you might want to import. How
often have you wondered if you were related to someone in another person�s
family file? Now you can quickly see if your lines overlap. You will find
more relatives than ever before.
56. The new Advanced Sourcing features lets you assign sources to a group of
individuals or marriages at one time. You can select the fields you want
the sources to be applied to. This is an easy way to go back and document
groups of records that came from the same source.
57. Many reports can now include a Location Index showing what pages each
location is used. Because the index groups the locations together, you can
easily see all the family members that lived in the same places.
58. A new Relationship Calculator lets you see every way any two people are
related. See if you married one of your cousins. See how many ways you are
related to your 5th great grandfather. People are often related in many
ways to another person. Now you can see them all!
59. The new Relationship Charts ties into the Relationship Calculator and
allows you to produce wonderful charts in color with pictures and fancy
boxes to impress all who see them.
60. When doing Merges you can specify any pair of individuals as being Not
Duplicates. Often times you may have felt like you were wearing out the
Skip To Next button as you came upon pairs of individuals you knew were not
duplicates but had similar names and information. Now you can mark these
pairs as Not Duplicates so they don't continually show up in subsequent
merge sessions.
61. You can now Renumber RINs and MRINs. You can renumber specific
individuals or marriages as well as groups of records. If you always wanted
to be #1 in your file, now it�s easy to do.
62. You can now Reuse Deleted RINs and MRINs when adding new records and
importing. No more leaving empty holes within your family file when
deleting or merging people.
63. You can select the color of boxes on Ancestor, Descendant and Pedigree
Charts. This really makes the charts more attractive when printed on a
color printer.
