Re: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

[Jay 1FamilyTree]

yes, create an event called Census and then use one of the parents as head
of household then via shared events add all the others who were living in
the house at that time


But you cant expect the pc program to know who from the first or second
family was still living with the third family. , unless you create some new
rule like all children from a former marriage automatically get blended
into a new marriage would you want that as a global rule for your file
now???, I doubt it. ..

Re: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

[Jay 1FamilyTree]

Kathy, If you can explain how you would accomplish that logically in the
programming side, it might be doable.

But your are asking to see something that is technically almost impossible
considering the "real" genealogical links (via biology) and the "family
group" as a living unit.  How is the program supposed to decide who belongs
where??

Legacy is already so versatile overall it can accommodate recording all the
variations into a database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Endless Loops and Ancestor Book

Yes, common ancestors will cause endless loops.  You should be able to
go into the report options and check a box to not repeat duplicate lines.

Your second question makes no sense.  Can you elaborate on what you
mean, please?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to add children?

[Wendy Howard]

You don't have to put anything down for the father, if you don't want
to.  You can have just the mother, and Legacy will put a 'placeholder'
father in to deal to the necessities of the database, but you won't have
an actual person to deal with.

When/if the time comes that you find out who the father is, add him as a
husband to that woman, and you'll see a checkbox asking if he should be
also added as the father of the children.

But if you do want to put a person in for the unknown father, if it were
my database I'd give him a first name only (no surname), and put it in
privacy brackets so it can be omitted from reports when desired.
Something along the lines of [[Husband of Elizabeth]].

My personal preference would be the first option - no father entered at
all.  You may find out later that the kids have different fathers, and
it would be easier to update the data if they didn't already all have
the same phantom father.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy

[LegacyUG] Endless Loops and Ancestor Book

Completed my research  in Quebec and want to make an ancestor book.   My

Question 1:  Is it the common ancestors that are causing the endless loops?

RE: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

[CE WOOD]

Inferring from your post, your couple married about 1879. Many times children 
from separate marriages where not all living together in the new blended 
family. Some were on their own, many were with the family of the former spouse, 
et alia.

A genealogical program needs to account for all these possibilities, not just 
your own particular ancestral circumstances. I, for one, have a surfeit of 
mediaeval families in which children remained with the families of the former 
spouse or elsewhere. "Home" was definitely not with the latest couple.

A genealogical database needs to be logical. If you want to create a report 
that accommodates your special circumstance, that is quite easily accomplished.


Cheers,
Carolyn

yes - and that part is fine - but why should the half kids of each former / 
subsequent marriage be separated?


Basically, I'd like to be able to see easily what kids of each marriage are a 
similar age to each other, and therefore who is likely to still be at home at 
any one time..


Having the 2 kids of the current marriage born 1880-1884 first is great, but 
then having the 8 kids born between 1862 and 1877 from his first marriage and 
then having 5 kids born between 1865 and 1879 from her first marriage - just 
looks messy - especially when it's very likely that all the kids born between 
1869 and 1884 are living at home at the same time.

I like the show ½ kids feature, I think it's good, but I'm puzzled as to why 
they do not show up in date order.



I understand and agree that any children of the current marriage should show 
first, but why do the ½ kids have to be separated quite so starkly with all of 
his kids shown first, then all of her kids.



I personally think it would be nice if the children could actually display in 
birth order regardless of full or ½ relationship with the shown parents - 
especially since the "Show ½kids" is an optional thing

Re: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

In my view not half as messy as having their parentages mixed up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

[Kathy Thompson]

yes - and that part is fine - but why should the half kids of each former /
subsequent marriage be separated?

Basically, I'd like to be able to see easily what kids of each marriage are
a similar age to each other, and therefore who is likely to still be at
home at any one time..

Having the 2 kids of the current marriage born 1880-1884 first is great,
but then having the 8 kids born between 1862 and 1877 from his first
marriage and then having 5 kids born between 1865 and 1879 from her first
marriage - just looks messy - especially when it's very likely that all the
kids born between 1869 and 1884 are living at home at the same time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Children View - Show ½ kids

[CE WOOD]

Well, the Family View which you are using, is a view of one man and one woman. 
Their children are listed first.
If you switch to the other set of parents in the Family View, their children 
are shown first.

This is how it should be.


Cheers,
Carolyn

I understand and agree that any children of the current marriage should show

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8

[JMB]

I used to have them in a series of sub folders so not sure why some were 'lost'.

I perhaps will now try and move some into sub folders then let the program find 
them again with another run of Media Relinker.

Jenny,
I have ALL my media in the Media file but I have folders for the different 
types of documents.  This has worked very well for me.  Legacy likes that I 
have everything in the Media folder and I like having my documents separated by 
type.

I can imagine nothing worse than having all my media files in one folder.

I suppose the 321 plus the media from the Sample family file wouldn't be too 
bad.  But then there are the 856 Baptism images, 246 Burial images,
4,911 Census images !

No, the picture location is hard-coded in and can't be changed.

However... if you create a book report to RTF, in your Word Processing program, 
you can move the photos where ever you'd like - as well as resize them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Just getting back to Legacy

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Before you install version 8, make a backup file of your database on
another hard drive or on a CD, just in case something goes wrong!

I did not follow the steps in the install procedure, but have it
working. Version 8 installs in a different area if you follow the
standard install steps. Quite easy. Version 7 will still run, but do not
use it!

Just install version 8 then go through the normal operations. The menus
are much different, and I dislike many of those changes, but can adapt.

At your direction, it can search for and find existing Legacy files on
your computer and convert them to version 8, and will also find gedcom
files. Be sure you select your latest files if you have more than one. I
have many databases and that has caused me some problems in the past.

The new options for media re-linking and copying the media files to one
location in the Legacy folder is a good idea, but not working correctly
for me yet.

[LegacyUG] Problem viewing .pdf files

[Ed Ladendorf]

When I try to view a .pdf file I have in the media center, I get the message 
"There is currently no default media player set up for your computer." If I 
double click on a .pdf file anywhere else but Legacy, it opens in Adobe Reader.

I went to "Options", "Customize", "Launch", and set the .pdf file to launch in 
Adobe Reader. I then have the option to launch the file I want. The file opens 
correctly, but if I'm trying to open the file from the media center, I get the 
same message again. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug?

RE: [LegacyUG] Chronology Report 8-397

I should also note that I did read this was a noted problem in January and that 
a fix had been submitted. Just wondering if it had been fixed and if there was 
something I missed in the archives. I am not sure if .397 is the latest update, 
but my program says I have the latest build. Thanks

Greetings,
When in the chronology view for only one person (female), the events for birth, 
death, and census events are listed. The events that do not show up are 
marriage, birth of children, death of spouse. I have all items checked in the 
display options. As I noted, this is only occurring with one person. Is there a 
box I need to check or uncheck for her? She is not a private individual. I am 
not sure if this matters, but some of her censuses that do show up are shared 
from her husband.
Thanks for any assistance!

Version 8 will install quite separately to 7, so you can keep both if
you want to.  STRONGLY recommend that you allow Legacy 8 to install to
its default location.  It will put your data, media etc into a folder
within My Documents.

Once you've installed, tell it to open an existing file and navigate to
your current family file.  Legacy 8 will offer to copy (copy, not move)
this to the new location and then convert it.  This is also the
recommended method.

You cannot open the Legacy 8 family file in Legacy 7, but you will have
your old version of the program and the file if you want to keep them.

I would enter his name as, for an example Antonio "Tony".  This clearly shows 
his given name and the name he was commonly known by.  The name in quotes will 
be the name used in reports if you select that option.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. Your time is appreciated. The story will 
now be placed in Legacy, but not in the general notes section. It's always good

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8

Jenny,
If you use the Gather Media tool it will put the documents/images in whatever 
folder you want (doesn't have to be the Media folder) but it will only gather 
to one folder.

But I presume the Gather Media tool would not keep all the separate folders 
within Media - or am I wrong?

All my Source documents are in folders (or folders within folders) according to 
type and everything under one main genealogy folder on my
C: drive because that is how they were before I ever started with Legacy.  
Photographs attached to people, events or locations within Legacy are in 
folders in Legacy's media folder and are smaller-sized JPGs of pictures 
(usually TIFFs) stored in my genealogy folder.

No, the picture location is hard-coded in and can't be changed.

However... if you create a book report to RTF, in your Word Processing
program, you can move the photos where ever you'd like - as well as resize
them.

RE: [LegacyUG] Edit in family tab

[Michele/Support]

Richard,

Click on the Medical Notes tab on your cousin’s Individual’s Information 
screen.  There you will see the field for the cause of death as well as space 
to write any additional notes.



I would record your grandfather’s birth name (that which was recorded on his 
birth certificate or baptismal/christening certificate) as his main name and 
then I would add his Americanized name as an AKA.  I might also write a little 
note explaining that he preferred his Americanized name.  Another thing you can 
do is use a name in quotes in the given field.  If you go to the Help file and 
type in quoted names you will see how to do this AND when it is appropriate to 
do this instead of using the AKA field.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8

[Michele/Support]

Jenny,
I have ALL my media in the Media file but I have folders for the different 
types of documents.  This has worked very well for me.  Legacy likes that I 
have everything in the Media folder and I like having my documents separated by 
type.

I can imagine nothing worse than having all my media files in one folder.

I suppose the 321 plus the media from the Sample family file wouldn't be too 
bad.  But then there are the 856 Baptism images, 246 Burial images,
4,911 Census images !

RE: [LegacyUG] Edit in family tab

[Alex MacPhee]

I think you need to click on the Notes icon and enter it under Medical. For 
'also known as' names, click on the AKA icon that's about four icons to the 
right of Notes.

Hello Group,  I have my legacy opened to "family Tab" and 
I'm viewing a cousin and in the section for "Dth Cau" I want to add her cause 
as Ventricular Heart Failure.
How to I add the change?
Also, if my grand father had an
 Italian first name, but he went by an American name how would I make note of 
that?
Thank you

[LegacyUG] Lengthy notes in Legacy 8

[Ed Ladendorf]

While online, I met a man who had been studying the Civil War for years. He 
wrote a rather lengthy story that was likely to be a very interesting true 
story of my great grandfather's experiences in the Civil War.

It seems to me this story should be placed in the general notes section, but I 
want to be sure I'm not mistaken about this. Or maybe it really has no place at 
all being there?? It is possible that the man he wrote about is not my great 
grandfather (because of spelling variations), but has a high percentage of 
being him. If it should not go in the general notes, where should it go? Thanks 
for any suggestions.

Ed

[LegacyUG] Photo Printing in Reports

[June Chan]

I have looked through the help menu but either can't find or have overlooked
the information I am looking for.



I am printing various reports and I note that all the photos are printing on
the right hand side of the page. Is there any way to place the photos at
random while still keeping them within the event they relate to.



Thank you.

June

[LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8

[JMB]

I managed to sort out this problem, I have many files archived on various 
external US drives so I plugged in one of these and set off the Media Relinker 
it found all except for about half a dozen so I printed out the list then let 
it Gather all these files and the ones scattered around my internal drives.  I 
now have all the files in one folder.

I will go back some time and find the missing files as I will have copies 
somewhere.
