There is no simple way of doing this. It's a two-step process.

a) Unlink child from parents
b) Link child to mother

[LegacyUG] Timeline locations

[Robert57P_gmail]

How do I control where Legacy looks for timelines?  I don't see it under
CUSTOMIZATION.

I just discovered that Legacy version 8 on my desktop is looking for the
timelines in the old version 7 folder.  Not a major problem until I
eventually delete the version 7 folders.  How to I tell version 8 to
look in the version 8 timeline folder?

The laptop (that never had version 7) can not find the timelines in my
family file because I did not copy the version 7 folders over to the
laptop.  I'm guessing I can copy my unique version 7 timeline files from
my desktop to my version 8 timeline folder on my laptop (and to the
version 8 folder on my desktop).  But my family database is looking for
them under the version 7 folder.  How do I change this?

The Help file says timelines are located at:
[My Documents]\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Timeslines\[Language].
But this is not the case for me.
Ah - I just found them under:
C:\winprog\Legacy8\_AppData\Timelines
But I still don't see a way to tell the program where to look.

I should mention that I installed Legacy 8 at C:\winprog\Legacy8
And legacy 7 program is installed at: C:\winprog\Legacy

[LegacyUG] Unlinking Father but Keeping the Mother

[JAS POWELL]

My gggrandfather was born in Feb 1814.  His supposed father died before Jan 
1812.  How do I unlink from the father but not the mother?  When I try to 
unlink it will only let me unlink both.  Do I do this then link back to the 
mother, or is there a simpler way?

Re: [LegacyUG] Prompt for detail

[Kathy Thompson]

Isn't it prompting you to double check that any notes or comments that need
to be added have been added?

For example, I copy Jane's baptism register source, and paste it to her
father's occupation event, prompted for detail I add in Text/Comments
"Citation for daughter Jane's baptism, gives evidence of father's
occupation"
Or, Copy Fred's burial register source, paste to Fred's birth event,
prompted for detail I add in Text/Comments "Citation for burial, register
lists age thus implying approx year of birth"

Confirmed. Problem report raised to have this fixed. To reset the
display you just need to close and restart Legacy that is a lot easier
than generating new web pages without FSID. It will occur if you create
any sort of report with FS ID included.

[LegacyUG] Two Sets of Parents in Legacy Chart

[Chick Lewis]

I have a case where two children, Ann and Mark lost both parents in an
accident. Both were adopted by their mother’s sister.  The children are
shown biologicaly with their birth parents, and I also show them as adopted
by their aunt and uncle.  This is easily explained in notes.  BUT, in
Legacy Charting both children appear twice under two sets of parents.  How
can I correct this?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[Leon Chapman]

Upgrading to FTM 2014 is probably the only way you are going to get the
Links to Pictures out of FTM.
$28 to upgrade -- is it worth it to not manually link your 2300 pictures --
your choice.

There are no options for exporting to a GEDCOM that will include the links to

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting

[Brian]

I'm glad this question came up, was wondering myself.
I am a lumper, the way I record a record of anything, say a census is
I create a census event and in the event notes,
I transcribe the details of the family and individual that's found on
the page.
In the master source, I enter the details of where I found it and where
other can find it also,
mostly the details of Ancestry.com, Family Search and the location the
Nation Archives.
In the source details, I enter the year, persons name, roll number,
enumeration district, address
and line number where the family/person is found, then attach an image
of the page.
   I do things this way so the individual and family data is in a note,
to be able to see when I open a person to read the event, I have the
facts right there.
   To me, the source is how to find the document again.
Also, in reports, I generally dont add sources, the data prints out as a
note for a person
for all to easily see.

Re: [LegacyUG] Last modified date

[Larry Lee]

Brian,

When you hover in this area the box outline and tooltip appear. Do you
think it would be helpful to have the initials MD in the box and have it
permanently outlined? That way it wouldn't be completely hidden.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages

“in my 100+ generations”

That is a bit to many, I think you need to do another count?

That is back to the BC time period?

To get a complete picture, you also need to do the paragraph 3 search for 
females. There are more marriages where the ancestry of the wife is unknown,

is unknown. To be thorough, do both.

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Leo,
I'm not Jenny and haven't read the whole thread - but if you can put
the transcription in the Master Source text, then you are almost an
extreme splitter.
For example: I have a Census source for each year for each country.
(most of my research is in the UK) But even if I had one for each
county in the US for each year, I'd hardly transcribe the whole
census for the county and put it in the Master Source Text. ;-)

I rarely use the Master Source Text. I used to for certificates when
I had very few certificates and I saw each one as a separate source -
but now I have a Master Source for certificates from a particular
Registry Office and the transcription again goes into the source detail text.

So the only sources with Master Source text or images are those for
unique items - like a particular Family Bible.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible bug with FS Numbers/ID

[Brian/Support]

Confirmed. Problem report raised to have this fixed. To reset the
display you just need to close and restart Legacy that is a lot easier
than generating new web pages without FSID. It will occur if you create
any sort of report with FS ID included.

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting

[lio .]

David:

Thank you very much for the explanation. That really helped make it clearer for 
me. I'm now teetering on switching over to lumping and using shared events 
(from splitting and creating separate events).

As I'm playing catch-up I think using the shared events will help me in the 
time required (much faster to click a few boxes, instead of creating separate 
events and sourcing them).

Although I prefer like Jenny's method, I think I need to focus on completing 
the project in a timely manner, and once everything has been re-input and 
properly sourced I can go back and create separate events for key people.

Thanks (I'm mostly talking out loud I guess).

Leo

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting

[lio .]

Jenny:

1. As I mentioned when I started my family tree I didn't source my documents (I 
never in a million years thought it would get as big as it is, and did not 
understand why it was so important).

I'm now trying to redo my tree, but this time sourcing each documents (I do 
have copies of every document, and written on the back the day I accessed it, 
etc.).

My method of splitting is taking me WAY too long to redo. I'm thinking lumping 
will save me a huge amount of time.

Can I ask you (and any other lumpers).

*I* transcribe the complete document and copy to the Master Text. I then copy 
pertinent parts of the Master Text to the Detail Text depending on what I want 
to prove. (VERY time consuming, but I liked that if forced me to analyze the 
document).

*You* transcribe the complete document, but instead of having it in the Master 
text you have the complete transcription in the Detail text. Is that right? 
Everyone using that Source has the complete transcription.

2. Comparing your method to Shared Events, your method seems more exact (and 
transferable by GEDCOM) is the only plus of Shared Events that it would be 
faster?

Thanks again for your direction,

leo

Re: [LegacyUG] How to tell where a source file is located?

[Cathy Pinner]

Dave,

The text file of missing media given to you by the Media Relinker or
by clicking Test all Media Folders button at Options > Customise 6.2
and then checking "Make a list of all missing media"  includes the
path of the missing media as well as the name.

You need to keep checking that - though it may be time to rethink how
you file your media and then let the Media Relinker find the file.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[William Boswell]

She's using the 2009 version.  I just installed it to test and she is right.  
There are no options for exporting to a GEDCOM that will include the links to 
her image files.  She would need a later version.  The only one I know that 
will do it is FTM 2014 if exported properly.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages

[Kurt Kneeland]

Marriage Tags and Individual Tags are separate.  Unfortunately, there is not 
yet an advanced tagging function for the Marriage Tags.  They can only be 
turned on/off one at a time.

Best I can think of is to use advanced tagging to tag your direct ancestors 
(exclude siblings, etc, and limit to the desired number of generations.

You can then create a search list based on that tag and perhaps limit the 
search list to just the males.  Then you could go through that search list to 
set the marriage tags.

 This presumes that the tags are different between general and marriage tags.  
If not I can use a different tag #.

I would like to use the tags as a research guide and not have to work down the

Have you tried posting your problem on the FTM Message Board on Ancestry?  
There appears to be several discussions regarding the transfer of media files

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That

[Brian/Support]

Like Legacy, Animap is a Windows program. You may be able to run it on a
Mac using any of the virtual machine options which you use for running
Windows and Windows programs. Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare etc.

No guarantees and if you want more/better information contact GoldBug
Software the authors of Animap. They would best be able to help you with
questions concerning their program.

Their website is at http://www.goldbug.com.

[LegacyUG] AniMap

[Sentz]

It's my understanding that AniMap, sold on Legacy, is only for the PC.
Does anyone know whether there is a way to use this software on a MAC?

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

I’m wondering if all those that responded saying that they record every AKA 
along with the source where they found it really mean that they record every 
common variation of a name. What I mean specifically if someone’s given name 
was Robert,  do they record an instance of Bob, and Bobbie, and Rob, and 
Robbie. If the name was Franklin, do they record Frank and Frankie? So far I’ve 
tended to ignore these common variations as additional AKAs and have only 
recorded the unusual ones such as “Stretch”, “Slim”, “Bones”, etc. It just 
seems to me that if you record each and every instance of a spelling variation 
that you find, you end up with a family file that is grossly inflated in sheer 
numbers. I guess what I’m getting at is there has to be a little common sense 
applied here. For example, if you do a search for someone named Robert on 
FamilySeach, it will automatically include all those common variations to 
include Rob, Bob, etc.

Just a different way to keep something that has been available a long

the bottom of the screen. In 8.0 the date is no longer on screen so the
hotspot box was added as a trigger point.

Thanks, Kurt!  I must have not thought to check the options, seeing that

Diane,

Have you tried posting your problem on the FTM Message Board on Ancestry?
There appears to be several discussions regarding the transfer of media
files via a gedcom from FTM.  (Make you sure mention which FTM program you

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[William Boswell]

Maybe FTM 2009 doesn't have the capability to export links in a GEDCOM.  All I 
know is the current version of FTM will do it if the links in your FTM data 
file are actually linked.  You have to select your destination as FTM after 
selecting GEDCOM 5.5 otherwise it won't work.  I selected FTM 16 and it worked.



You might have to upgrade to the latest FTM version, but prior to doing so I 
would make sure your images in FTM are actually linked to people.  There's no 
sense spending money on an upgrade if it doesn't work either because nothing is 
linked.



I opened the GEDCOM I exported from FTM using Wordpad then searched for ".jpg". 
 This is an example of what it found:  FILE H:\Genealogy\Prog Backups\FTM 
2014\Data\Boswell Ltd4 Media\302-04.jpg

I’m afraid that is not the answer.  My only choice to make a “GEDCOM for FTM16” 
and when I checked it in Word it did not include either the media files or 
links to the files.  As with the “GEDCOM 5.5” option the box to include media

However I did try it and imported the “GEDCOM for FTM16” into Legacy but no

Brian has the correct answer.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That
will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount
of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[Diane Marcotte]

I’m afraid that is not the answer.  My only choice to make a “GEDCOM for FTM16” 
and when I checked it in Word it did not include either the media files or 
links to the files.  As with the “GEDCOM 5.5” option the box to include media 
files was greyed out.



However I did try it and imported the “GEDCOM for FTM16” into Legacy but no 
media files are found.

Brian has the correct answer.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That
will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount
of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[William Boswell]

All I know is the media links from FTM to Legacy worked using FTM 2014 to 
export a GEDCOM so Diane might have to upgrade or try the instructions I gave 
in another post.

I noticed in my test that I had to choose FTM 16.  It might work choosing one 
of the other FTM versions, but I didn't try.  If exporting to just a GEDCOM 
only, the media links don't transfer over.

I don't know about FTM, but Ancestry flat out states that media from 
trees there will not be included in there gedcoms and that seems to include 
media links.  Perhaps in FTM they can sync media from Ancestry but 2009 seems 
way before the time that feature was added.  So there may be neither media or 
media links.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[Diane Marcotte]

I cannot create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination - 
The dialog box shows that I have three exporting choices under “Output format”, 
namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”.  
Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely:
•   Privatize living people
•   Include private facts
•   Include private notes
•   Include media files
•   Include tasks
•   Include charts, reports, and books
•   Include only items linked to selected individuals

When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out 
INCLUDING “include media files”. This also happens if I choose "GEDCOM for FTM 
16".  I opened the GEDCOM for FTM 16" in Word and searched for some know media 
images as well as for the term 'jpg' and got nothing.  So the links are not 
included in this GEDCOM either I'm afraid.

In Legacy 8, if I look at the Edit Children screen I can see the

is not showing, whether the children are in columns or scrolling list.

Is this a known bug?

Probably the same way everybody else finds it--spelling the name correctly.  
That's how I found most of the records with misspelled names.  In a few cases, 
I didn't find the record and only found it by accident when looking for 
somebody else.  If the sources are cited properly, someone should be able to 
find the record again.  Just because an online indexer couldn't spell or was in 
a hurry, why should we list it wrong if an image clearly shows the correct 
spelling or a spelling variation?

The same way I found it!

I would record what I see on the image, not an incorrect transcription
made by someone else.  I also record the precise details of where the
record was found so anyone else wanting to find what I found can either
use the information I provide in my Source Citation or can search from
scratch the way I did, using wild cards, intelligent guesses,
imagination ... whatever it takes.

I have a feeling that the Relinker tool will only work if your Legacy data has 
already been set up with the images linked.  I don't think it will work if you 
are trying to establish the linking process unless an FTM GEDCOM has preserved 
the path to those images.

What version of FTM are you using?

Unfortunately that did not work.  I transferred all 2300 media files from the 
FTM folder I have into ….\Legacy Family Tree\Media as you suggested.  I then 
ran the Relinker tool but still get this message “There are no Media files in 
this family file.”

My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a 
folder called “Family Tree Maker” on my hard-drive.  First I copied the “Latest 
Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” folder to Legacy Family Tree\Media and when that 
didn’t work I deleted the folder and copied just the 2300 media files.  But I 
still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.”

This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree 
from FTM:

You mentioned a more complicated method???

It may be more visible there, but in my view it implies that the person
WAS KNOWN by that different version of the name, which is not so.

I have one instance in my database where a whole family was listed in
the Census with the wrong surname.  (Probably an error of the Enumerator
made when copying from the original forms to the books which we see.)
It would cause no end of confusion if I implied that the Ashworths were
also known as the Birtwistles.  On the other hand, I have a family where
the father and several children were known for some years as Dinnage
rather than Pitt and so they have Dinnage recorded as an AKA.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[Diane Marcotte]

Hi Brian,



I opened the GEDCOM file in Word - all 3198 pages of it. I searched for a few 
names of images I have in my FTM Tree and it found none.  I then searched for 
the term “jpg” (without the quotes) and it only found instances where the term 
"jpg" came up in notes I had made.



The main problem seems to be that FTM does not give me the option of including 
media files, or it now seems even links, when I export to GEDCOM5.5.  The 
dialog box shows that I have three choices under “Output format”, namely 
“Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”.  Below 
this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely:

·Privatize living people

·Include private facts

·Include private notes

·Include media files

·Include tasks

·Include charts, reports, and books

·Include only items linked to selected individuals



When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out 
INCLUDING “include media files”.



It appears that the links do not show in the GEDCOM file either so I can see 
that Legacy doesn’t know I had links in the original FTM file.



Surely Legacy must get new users who were using FTM before.  Do all of these 
new users have to abandon Legacy 8 or manually link every image?  I don’t have 
the time or interest in spending days if not months doing this as I have over 
2300 images.  I realize the problem stems with FTM but I was hoping that a 
solution existed.



Thanks for your attempts to help!!

Diane

At one point Diane I believe you said you chose an option in FTM to export only 
to GEDCOM 5.5. In Legacy when we present that option we only export a limited 
subset of the data for individuals. Did you also choose to include the links to 
your media in the GEDCOM? If there were no links to media in the FTM GEDCOM 
then Legacy would not know that you had media linked in the original FTM file. 
The message from the relinker saying there are no media files in the family 
file is saying that Legacy did not find any media links to any media file. It 
can only fix links to files which are named but where the location of the file 
has changed or where the user has changed the name of the file so it no longer 
exists under the expected name.



Open the GEDCOM you exported from FTM, it is a plain text file so you can open 
it with Notepad or any other text editor. Use the search function to see if you 
can find the name of one of the files you know were attached to someone in the 
file. If the file name was not in the GEDCOM then you will have to go back to 
FTM and export a new GEDCOM.

This time select the option to export for FTM itself to include the maximum 
information including links to the media files. Import that new GEDCOM into a 
new family file to see if the media links now exist.

And without a correction to the transcription (which Ancestry _NEVER_ do) how is
someone else going to find the record?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

Brian has the correct answer.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That
will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount
of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[William Boswell]

That is true about an inflated family file and all those variations.



For abbreviations like Robt (Robert) and Jno (John), I normally spell them out 
since they're obvious.  Something like "Hattie" (I have a lot of Hattie's) or 
"Fannie" I have to assume are nicknames so I have to list them.  Sometimes the 
records show different spellings of the name or the middle name is used for a 
first name.  I had this with one ancestor and discovered that because he used 
his middle name (Mathew) as a first name and his first name (Ignatius) as his 
middle, his wife had a problem receiving his pension money because they thought 
it was a different person.  In that case, I listed his name switch because he 
did this often in the records.

The view you get in Windows Explorer may depend on your pdf default

(from medium size and up) as thumbnails of the first page of the pdf.
Nevertheless in Legacy a pdf still shows as the standard document pages
icon.

RE: [LegacyUG] Documents in Legacy

I attach a number of PDF files to sources, but also when possible include the 
text contained or related to that PDF that way I don't have to keep opening an 
external file.  Another alternative, if available to you, is to convert PDF 
files to JPG's if it doesn't contain a lot of pages.  I just choose relevant 
pages for that source then convert them to JPGs.  Just a suggestion.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[William Boswell]

Thanks.  I know about Ancestry.com.  I believe they use software to transcribe 
most of their records which is why I don't trust their transcriptions.  If no 
image is available with the transcription, it gets a low-star rating from me 
until I find something better.



I guess I should have been clearer on this.  I was talking about people I knew 
like my great aunts and uncles and those who share my last name or that I knew. 
 I've seen Boswell spelled as BOSWENN.  I know that to be wrong, but I listed 
it as an AKA anyway.  I've only found this at Ancestry.com.



In that same census record, many of the first names were wrong too and I've 
seen this error get transferred over to other people's trees.  "Johanna" was 
listed as "Josephine."  This one is typed so it had to be listed in my AKA's.  
This could have been converted from handwritten to typewritten after the census 
was taken and transcribed wrong at that time.  I can't imagine the census taker 
had a typewriter with him/her at the time.

I got it to work in FTM 2014.  I exported my FTM data file with images to a 
GEDCOM 5.5.



Click on OK.

The box "Export to GEDCOM" pops up.

Instead of selecting "Other" select "FTM 16"

Leave character set at "ANSI"

Click OK

Name your GEDCOM



Watch the box that pops up to make sure it is transferring media.  I tested it 
on a select few names that I knew had images.



I don't know if it will work with Version 2009, but it's worth a try.

My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a

still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.”



This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree

If the person is indexed under the name, incorrect as it may be, how
will you find them again in other places which derive their data from
the original place which contains the error without having recorded that
spelling error as an AKA? Yes you said you put the name as it was
recorded in the source transcription but the AKA is a more visible place
to see that somewhere his name was recorded with that transcription error.

especially with the census records, that many misspellings could be attributed 
to the census taker and/or family member could not read or write or didn't know 
how to spell their own name.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8

[Brian/Support]

At one point Diane I believe you said you chose an option in FTM to
export only to GEDCOM 5.5. In Legacy when we present that option we only
export a limited subset of the data for individuals. Did you also choose
to include the links to your media in the GEDCOM? If there were no links
to media in the FTM GEDCOM then Legacy would not know that you had media
linked in the original FTM file. The message from the relinker saying
there are no media files in the family file is saying that Legacy did
not find any media links to any media file. It can only fix links to
files which are named but where the location of the file has changed or
where the user has changed the name of the file so it no longer exists
under the expected name.

Open the GEDCOM you exported from FTM, it is a plain text file so you
can open it with Notepad or any other text editor. Use the search
function to see if you can find the name of one of the files you know
were attached to someone in the file. If the file name was not in the
GEDCOM then you will have to go back to FTM and export a new GEDCOM.
This time select the option to export for FTM itself to include the
maximum information including links to the media files. Import that new
GEDCOM into a new family file to see if the media links now exist.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to tell where a source file is located?

[William Boswell]

I always place my census record images by the year of the census then the 
individual files are renamed by Roll number, State, Census Page Number, and 
name of head of household (i.e., 1920 CT T625_190 Pg 3-B Wm B Shalkop).  I say 
"renamed" because some online websites use a meaningless number for a file 
name.  My way works for me, but may not work for others so you have to create a 
system that works for you then stick with it.



I am overly organized and also keep a spreadsheet for photos listing all file 
names along with who is in the picture, when it was taken, and other useful 
information.  That's probably the extreme, but it sure helps when I need to 
find a file when there are thousands to go through.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[William Boswell]

I have always wondered about obvious misspellings of names from records such as 
the census.  I transcribe records myself if an image is available because some 
of the transcriptions I've found online are incorrect and completely destroy 
the spelling of names.  Should we include the misspellings as an AKA even if 
our interpretation differs from that of software or human transcriptions?  In 
the case of typewritten records, it is obvious to list the name as written even 
if it is known to be misspelled.



I always include all AKA's because it could be important in finding new 
records, but I am hesitant to include those that were transcribed wrong if an 
image clearly shows a different spelling.  I have to take into consideration, 
especially with the census records, that many misspellings could be attributed 
to the census taker and/or family member could not read or write or didn't know

.

"Right" is a tad subjective, though, Ed.  What's legally
"right" may not be logically "right" or even ethically
"right", and what's "right" for family may not be "right"
for scholars or professional genealogists.

It also depends on where you're thinking of recording it.
In your SOURCES, you record what's on the document, period.
It's a bit more complex in family-view.

I tried entering people under the spelling on the document
and it created trees with 4 or 5 "alternate parents", made
using the database unnecessarily challenging, and generally
wreaked havoc.  I decided life was too short. I went back to
entering it so I could FIND it again.

I have one surname for which I currently have 42
*documented* variant spellings.  That surname gets the
spelling my branch of the family has used since about 1830.
I don't want to see a printed list of those variants every
time I generate a report.

I don’t think there is a standard Windows function for doing that.  If you look

The only place I can remember seeing thumbnails of pdf files is in Paperport.

[LegacyUG] Prompt for detail

[Jenny M Benson]

In Legacy 8 I have just set Option 7.4 to Default of Off, as I had it in
Legacy 7.5, because it was really annoying me that the Detail Screen
kept popping up until I remembered that I could switch it off.

But it occurred to me that the prompt, when set to On, occurs too late.
  The sequence is:

1  Enter Source Details.
2  Copy Source to Clipboard.
3  Paste Source Clipboard.
4  The Source Detail screen appears with a ticked checkbox for Prompt
for detail.

If you don't want to set the default of Off, but want to be able to
choose sometimes to be prompted, you want to be prompted at the time of
Copying to the Clipboard.  If you could choose at that point, you could
UNtick the box then happily roam around your family file going Paste,
Paste, Paste without interruption.

Very often I am only going to paste that Source once so presenting me
with the Source Detail when I've already Pasted and then saying "do you
want to be prompted for this?" is just silly!

Diane:


It is best to place all your media files in the folder:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media

That is where Legacy 8 would like your media files.

If you can copy your media files to that directory and then run Relinker -- Go 
to:

1. Tools > Media Relinker and run it.

 2. After Media Linker has found all you media files, choose the Gather Tab and 
have it place a copy of the media files into that folder (this will insure that 
you have all your media files in the above folder).

As a note, older versions of Family Tree Maker has their our database that they 
place the media files into.

Unless you have kept copies of your picture files elsewhere, there may be a 
problem of finding those FTM picture files.

Let me know if the Media Relinker worked.

If not, a more complicated process may be necessary.

Hello,



I just bought Legacy 8 and have found that my media files have not come across 
with the Gedcom file I made in FTM.  Can someone explain how I can get the 
media files – I have over 2300 of them!



Many thanks!!

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[ChasH]

I customize the family view with AKA1 (1st alternate name) and AKA2 (2nd
alternate name), then I list all the different Given names and spellings
in AKA1 separating each with a space. (Heinrich Henry)I do the same for
Surnames in AKA2. (Ladendorff Landenderf) That way I can easily see all
the name variations used by the husband/wife on the family view. It
works for me.  Add sources to the Name as usual bolding the variation on
the source detail.

I record EXACTLY WHAT I SEE, so when recording Heinrich's 1860 Census
entry I would record his name as Henry Lander (this would be part of the
entry in the Desc field) and if he was head of the household I would put
"household of Henry Lander" as part of the Source Detail.

What I would almost certainly NOT do is enter any of those names in the
AKA field, which I reserve for other names by which a person was
actually known, not for spelling errors, typos etc.  I know that if a
person is named, for example, John Clark, I need to look for Clark,
Clarke, Clerk - with all the variations of John - and if I cite a Source
where he is referred to as Jno Clarke I think anyone can see the
connection to John Clark.  If John Clarke is brought up by his
stepfather Mr Brown and regularly uses the name John Brown, then that is
an AKA and needs to be recorded as such.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[Michele/Support]

This is really a personal preference thing but I will tell you that I record 
ALL akas that I find in the records.  In your census example, I would record 
each one and I would use the specific census as the source for each AKA.  That 
way I can easily see how his name was recorded and where it was recorded that 
way.

A direct line ancestor, Heinrich Ladendorf, has been found listed as Henry 
Lander in the 1860 census. He has also been found listed as H Ladendorff (an 
extra "F"), Henry Landenderf, etc. on different sources. There are several 
other variations.



Would you list every spelling you find, or just the ones where it is obvious 
they should be listed, i.e. Henry Lander or Henry Landenderf? Would you also do 
the same for those who are not direct line? Thanks for any direction. I'm 
trying to get it right this time.

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

[David Newton]

I think every alternate name that you come across should be recorded
together with the source where you came across it. These names do not
have to appear in Individual and Family Group reports but for anyone
following on from your research they could be very useful.

A direct line ancestor, Heinrich Ladendorf, has been found listed as Henry 
Lander in the 1860 census. He has also been found listed as H Ladendorff (an 
extra "F"), Henry Landenderf, etc. on different sources. There are several 
other variations.

Would you list every spelling you find, or just the ones where it is obvious 
they should be listed, i.e. Henry Lander or Henry Landenderf? Would you also do 
the same for those who are not direct line? Thanks for any direction. I'm
