Re: [LegacyUG] Notes section (3 tabs) - can we have 2 more editing tools

[Cathy Pinner]

Dolores,
For a male lineage you can use Reports > Chart Reports > Lineage.
For other lines and lines between any other two people who are related 
use Tools > Relationship Calculator and see the Print options there.

You can choose what you have on the quick character ribbon. If you want 
the Euro or other symbols on it, add them. You'll lose others as there 
is a limited number that can show and you're limited to the Western 
Character Set. Just click the square and set it up for the characters

When you click on Help on the main menu bar a new menu bar appears, on 
which the 6th button is "Request feature."


I use the Notes tabs a lot but I have never found it troublesome to use 
my keyboard to capitalise in the usual way.  In fact, I use the keyboard 
for Bold a lot because it's quicker to do that rather than take my hand 
off the keyboard to use the mouse.


Each to his/her own!

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes & photos re ancestry

[Cathy Pinner]

Your photos stay where they are, on your computer. The gedcom only 
includes the path to them so if the gedcom is used to upload your tree 
to a website or to send to someone else, the media is left behind.

Event Notes seem to go to unnamed source when you upload to Ancestry.
General Notes etc go into the Notes field in Ancestry which can only be 
seen by the tree owner and those invited.

Don,

Tag all the persons with 1 tag then do a search for the tag,
FROM the search results you can scroll thru the persons on the left and see
only their notes by selecting Notes on the right.

Hope that helps

RE: [33A-1B07A2C3-040E] Re: [LegacyUG] Notes - Added warning message if notes are edited and then Cancel or X is clicked.

[Michele/Support]

Jay,

1)  When you send a message to Support the conversation needs to stay in 
Support.  When you pull a conversation out of the ticketing system and then try 
to continue the conversation here it gets very confusing because the tech that 
you were working with might not see your message here.  Not all of the techs 
monitor this list and those that do, do it as they can.  Someone else (not even 
necessarily a tech) will start to intervene and then wires will get crossed.

2)  When you sent in the original ticket, you were quoting something that 
someone else said on this list.  It is a better idea for the person with the 
actual problem to write in themselves.  You added that you had previously 
reported a “similar problem.”  I know that you were just trying to help them 
but again, it gets confusing.

3)  When I tested this originally it was working as expected and I sent you 
a screenshot to show you this.  I just tried it again and it isn’t working for 
me so I need to do some testing before I move it up the chain to Brian.

4)  I will respond back to you on the original ticket.

Michele,

I just discovered the new update to Legacy, did that, and then tested the 
problem again. On my data base and the sample data base.

Note that I almost always work from the pedigree view, then click on the person 
to open, and then on Notes to add or edit them.

Typing in "Test" and clicking the "x" or "Cancel" does not give a warning 
message and does not save the new data.

I did get a strange, not the usual warning, with one unintentional test in the 
previous version. Apparently the problem is not fixed. I think that I got 
numerous messages from Brian saying it was fixed about 10 days ago, but I am 
quite sure I have deleted his messages. Please pass this on to Brian.

Slight difference from the behaviour in 7.5. In 7.5, an Abandon Changes box
appeared when the Cancel button was clicked, or the Escape key was pressed.
There was no message when clicking the X (close) icon. This is, I think, the
correct behaviour according to MS standards.

I reported a similar problem a while ago to Support, I believe it will
be fixed with the next update. Very frustrating to lose a lot of work
then have to do it over again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

I have to agree with you, Cathy.  It was perfectly flexible before this change

At the very least, they could have had it default to checked in the conversion 
to v8.

Hi Paula,
The option to include Event Notes in a Report should stick like other settings. 
If it really isn't, that's a bug. I haven't time to check at the moment but it 
has been sticking.

The rationale? I've never seen a satisfactory one though I can see that being 
able to strip notes in some circumstances is useful. However, I can't imagine 
wanting to do it for all events. So for me, the ability to control them via the 
Event Sentence Definitions was perfect.

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes

[Brian L. Lightfoot]

Oh, maybe I misunderstood your previous message. I guess I was assuming that 
the same result happened as with v7 under which Legacy did lose data. OK, looks 
like this was fully addressed in v8 but has the one small glitch you mention 
but without losing data.

if the user edits the vital event notes to remove the Event Description: text

Thanks for those comments, Brian. It's nice to know that the issue was at least 
partially addressed in v8. And like I mentioned, it is an obscure bug but the 
bombshell remains in that once the user makes those steps in swapping an event 
with a Vital Record Event, data in the Notes are destroyed by Legacy. There is 
no Oops button; there is no Go Back button. The data is lost forever unless one 
can open up a backup to retrieve it. The problem is that a user would not be 
aware that Legacy destroyed data in the Notes field unless they specifically 
checked to see if it was all there. Maybe after v8 gets smoothed out, v9 or v10 
might get this issue addressed. Not really a widespread problem now but the 
concept that the program can lose user's data is not a good advertisement.

The swap difficulty with notes is no longer as problem in Legacy 8.
There is still a difficulty transferring between a regular and a vital event 
however. The Vital Events have no Description field. To work around this in 
Legacy 8 any Description from the regular event is transferred to the Vital 
Event Notes as the first line (existing event notes are appended after this 
line). If there is any possibility you may want to switch back do not remove 
that first line of the vital event notes. If you later switch the vital event 
with a regular event the description will be replaced in the regular event with 
the contents of that first line.

In Legacy 7 my testing showed that the notes transfer correctly to the vital 
event. It is notes from the vital event that got cut off when they were 
transferred to a regular event. This is the opposite of what you imply in your 
message. Legacy 7 will not be fixed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes

[Brian L. Lightfoot]

I agree with your suggestion about the use of the Notes fields and I tend to 
use them quite a bit. However, there is an obscure bug in their use that could 
present a minefield of disaster unless the user knows about this. This obscure 
bug involves the use of “Alt.” events such as “Alt.Birth” or 
“Alt.Death”. For example, whenever I come across such a bit of data that 
presents an alternate date of birth, I create such an Alt.Birth event and then 
I use the Notes tab of that alternate event to add my notes or a description of 
why this date may differ from the main Birth event and other explanations. In a 
few cases, I’ve had a long text note that came via email and it was copied and 
pasted into the Notes tab of the alternate event.



Now, here is where the bug occurs. Imagine that as one’s research continues, 
you confirm that the alternate event has the correct data but you’d still like 
to keep the other event just for continued research reasons. Legacy makes it 
easy for you to just select the Alternate Event, then click on Options, and 
then select “Swap with  Information”. Beware! If you have more than 255 
characters in your Alternate Event Notes tab, and you swap the events, you will 
lose all your notes beyond the first 255 characters. In other words, the 
transfer of text is limited to only 255 characters. If you can remember this 
bombshell, I’d suggest you first copy the lengthy notes to the General Notes 
area, complete the Swap, and then copy the lengthy notes back to where they got 
cut off.



I don’t know if this bug still exists in v8 but it was still there in the last 
v7. Will it ever get fixed? Maybe, but I’m not holding my breath because there 
seems to be an infestation of other bugs in v8 that are more pressing than this 
minor issue.

There were a couple of posts about how many characters/words the notes fields 
hold.  The question was answered pretty quickly and I was tied up at the time 
but there is something that I wanted to add.



There are MANY notes fields in Legacy that I think are underutilized.   There 
are birth notes, baptism notes, death notes, burial notes, medical notes, 
location notes, event notes, image notes, marriage notes and marriage event 
notes.



What is nice about these note fields is that they are specific.  If you put 
everything in the General Notes or Research Notes it can get crowded and hard 
to wade through.



In the report options screen, you can tell Legacy to print all of these other 
notes fields in addition to the regular General, Research, Medical notes for 
any report that allows notes.  Location Notes can be printed on a Location 
Report (available at View > Master Lists > Locations > Options > Print > 
Location Report).



Just another tool you can use :)

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Tony,

I assume you are using Legacy 8.

In the Report and the Webpage options you need to find the Event
options and make sure Event Notes are ticked for inclusion.

This checkbox overrides the [Notes] in the Event Sentence.

If this doesn't solve your problem, check that the Include Notes
checkbox on the event itself is checked AND the checkbox for notes on
the Event Definition.
In Legacy 8, instead of having just the [Notes] in the Event
Definition, we have a heap of checkboxes in a variety of places.

There is or was a bug if you used the setting at Options>Customise
7.10 to put source citation after notes.

Is it a known bug?

I presume you are using Legacy
8.  Don't know about web pages, but for the Report have you
checked the box for Add Event Notes?  It
  is under Other Options on the Event Options screen, accessed
  via the button on the Include tab in Report Options.

[LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

[Tony Rolfe]

I have created a few events which need 4 fields rather than the 3
supplied and so I've been using the notes field for one of them.  For
example, I have an "Address and Occupation" event which uses the Desc
for the occupation, the location for the address and the notes for the
source of the data.

[onDate] [Notes] said that [HeShe] was a [Desc] and that [HeShe] lived
[~inPlace]

On screen the resulting sentence reads perfectly.  However, on the
individual report and on generated web pages, the [Notes] are not
showing.  Instead of:

On 16 Jun 1896 his immigration papers said he was.

I get:

On 16 Jun 1896 said he was...

This happens for all events I have tested so far.

Is it a known bug?

Thanks

Tony

That's not true. Notes have always been available in the free Standard

The free version has never had Notes capabilities. The Notes from your Deluxe 
version are probably still there, but access won't be unlocked until you pay 
for the Deluxe version 8.

Thank you everyone.

I knew it was probably something that I was doing. There was a whole new

ticked this box everything returned to normal.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

Belinda,

They are there for me, so there is not a basic problem.

If you have tried the suggestions made by Kathy and Cathy and you still have 
problems, I would suggest using the Reset Button on the bottom right and try 
again, ensuring, of course, that the boxes which you need are checked.

Hi Belinda,

Legacy 8 is handling notes differently.
[Notes] is no longer in the Event Sentence Definition.

You include Notes or not depending on the setting in Report Options - Include

In the Events themselves there are checkboxes if you want to include notes. 
They should be checked by default.

Why the change? I never worked it out. It's supposed to be easier apparently.

[LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

[Belinda]

Hello everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone else had any trouble with events notes not
showing in descendant narrative reports? If so I'll report it as a bug, but
if it is just me I may have altered a setting somewhere without realising
it. Although what that setting may be, I don't know.

I use this feature extensively but now in V8 the events are listed in the
reports but the notes have been stripped out. On example I found had a few
blank lines and then the source citation number. Most of the others
stripped the lot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Screen Unreadable

[Sherry/Support]

On our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com, go to Help Center >
Troubleshooting Help > Solutions by Error Description > Screen
Problems >  Black Screens (paraphrasing the last two since I'm not
sure of the exact section - just search the webpage for "black"

You'll find a solution there, along with a file to download. If you
have Win7 or 8, save the file to the c:\Windows\SysWOW folder (again,
not 100% on the folder name, but there's only one sysWOW folder)

Sorry I'm not in a position to look up what I can't remember!

Sincerely,
Sherry

[LegacyUG] Notes Screen Unreadable

[Prescott Smith]

How do you change the background color in the Individual Note section
without changing the main view's color? By Notes screen is black
background, black font=unreadable. It has been this way since installation.
I can see how to change it for the main views, but not for the Notes
screen. Using Win 7, 64-bit.

Good point, Jay,

Unless it's changed, everything after the opening [[ will be skipped if there

Notes that you don't want included in reports, web pages, exports, etc
can be placed between double brackets  [[ like this ]].

Legacy won't include that data unless you select to include Private Notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in Legacy

[Brian/Support]

Legacy does not use the ! to mark sections of notes for printing. I may
be wrong since I was never a big PAF user but I think the ! in Notes in
PAF was a way to mark sources or maybe it was events. In any event it
was something which PAF did not support in early versions so the !
marking was a work around.

Legacy does have the opposite method of using [[]] to surround text in
Notes which are private and will not be included in reports and Web
Pages unless you tell Legacy to include private information.

It would be a big editing job to surround all the portions of your Notes
with [[ and ]] to suppress the notes you do not want included in your
web pages but that is the only thing I can suggest to selectively
include portions of the Notes..

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes associated with certain events

[Dick Nixon]

Ron,
You've hit on one of my major complaints with Legacy reporting. I
bring it up every year or so...there might be some more stuff in the
archives.

If you look at the Individual, Family Group, and Chronology reports
you will find numerous inconsistencies and issues. As you point out,
Chronology treats the big 4 (BBDM) pretty well, but the others
disconnect the notes and stuff them at the end. You could try to
create your own BBD events in the IR and FGS but they would double up
in the Chronology report. OK if you use only one or the other but not
a good solution.

If you dig in, you will find a lot of inconsistencies in these 3
reports.  Eg., the FGS automatically adds a blank line at the end of
each event note but the IR does not. If you add line feeds to make one
report look good, one or both of the others get worse.  Etc.

I had a list of 12 or 15 such related issues but support would only
agree to look a them if I put each one on a separate submission.  I
finally sent them to Geoff, his request, but he hasn't acknowledged
receipt.

So yes, I agree with you. These reports could be so much more useful
with a little work.  There may be historic reasons for the particular
FGS format, and compatibility concerns, but it would be easy to
generate additional versions of these reports that would be self
consistent.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes; Events

[Brian/Support]

It would help if you said which reports you are using where you want the
extra space.

In the narrative reports add [cr] to the end of the event introduction
to add an extra carriage return between the intro and the first event.
If it is other style reports tell us which ones or look for an event
intro sentence in the report settings where you can add the same [cr]
code to add a carriage return.

[LegacyUG] Notes; Events

[Pat Hickin]

On reports I would like to have a space between the words/heading "General
Notes" and the actual contents.  With notes, it's easy enough, as I can
just insert a HardReturn and leave a blank line at the beginning of the
notes.

But between the words introducing the Events and the first Event, I don't
know how to accomplish this.  I tried to insert a blank event but Legacy
would not accept that.  So I tried just putting a period in the first Event
Name and leaving all the other fields blank, but that period really doesn't
look so good on reports.
I don't see a way to insert a carriage return, but maybe I'm overlooking
something.

Thanks for your ideas,
Pat

It would print out as you entered it.  But the way to Source each
individual "note" would be to enter some sort of abbreviation or
indication at the end of each paragraph.

Say, for example, the various Sources for the Notes includes "the
Anderson Family Tree", "the Barnes photo album" and "Charles's Diary."
At the end of the paragraph dealing with info from the Family Tree you
type "[Anderson]", at the end of the para dealing with the photos you
type "[Barnes]" and so on.

[LegacyUG] Notes

[Bonnie Samuel]

Notes, notes everywhere! But how to make a sensible journal out of the jumble 
the numerous note areas create in reports. Is it possible to put notes under 
"general" with footnotes? That is, sequential notes each with a source attached 
- would that print out as a narrative? The only way I see now is to transfer a 
report to a word processing program and rewrite! I love Legacy, but this is a 
weak area in my view.

[LegacyUG] Notes formatting

[Neil Bell]

Many times when you GEDCOM in data from another genealogy program the
notes field will not end with the appropriate period (.).  Some programs
automatically add a period at the end of a note when generating output
reports.  Legacy does not do this.

One can go into the sentence definitions edit and add the period after
the notes field.  However for notes that do contain the period this
would result in two periods at the end of the sentence.

I don't _think_ it would be very difficult to have the option of adding
a period when one is not present in the original note.  Obviously I
could be wrong here about the difficulty of doing this but I do strongly
feel this is highly desirable.  Perhaps an optional feature to add a
period could be considered much like the existing option concerning
spaces following commas in all location fields.

The enforced period would make narrative reports so much easier to read!

Neil Bell ( a retired programmer!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?

[Marg Strong]

I'm glad to have discovered there is a notes place for events. There are times 
I want to comment on the event and add my interpretation and how it is 
important.

There are a lot of features in legacy deluxe to discover. I was using mine in a 
way that basic would have sufficed, and want to start using all the features. 
But it will take awhile to learn them. Especially since I'm also trying to 
research a lot and other stuff happens, like having to deal with a computer 
browser freezing problem for several hours this morning.

It was major frustrating. Thank you for responding, Michele.
Peggy

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?

[Michele Lewis]

Why can’t you just add notes to the event itself?  If you want to add something 
that you think will make the information clearer you can always put it in 
brackets [  ] to show that what is in the brackets is information that you have 
added and not part of the event itself.

Here are a couple of simple examples,

This is an entry I have for the 1820 census in Perry Co, MS for Silas Simmons

Silas Simmons
1 free white male under age 10 [William]
1 free white male age 16 to under 26 [Silas]
1 free white female under age 10 [Elizabeth]
1 free age 16 to under 26 [Janet]

I added WHO each person was because I knew but it wasn't on the census record 
itself.



Here is one for a Cemetery entry

Marker reads:
Simmons
[2 infant slabs, no other information, buried in same plot as Arthur A. Simmons 
and Mattie S. Dickson]

I am implying that the two infants belong to Arthur and Mattie and it explains 
why I think that even  though there is nothing on the marker to say so.

I know this is probably a no brainer for those who are more familiar with the

I didn't see an answer for you  I think there is a place to turn off the
automatic resizing, but I think it affects all type, not just the Notes fields. 
As I remember, if you turn it off, you can set the size.  Look under

As you're aware, there are several ways of doing this.  When you say you
don't want to use the individual's Notes field, does that rule out also
the Birth Notes field (the one behind the +)?

Personally, I add such comments/conclusions to the individual's Research
Notes field.

[LegacyUG] Notes for choosing a birth date

[Jean Suplick]

I have an individual for whom 5 sources all provide slightly different
birth dates. I would like to add a narrative to the birth event
containing my analysis of those records and drawing a conclusion for
the birth date. I prefer not to use the Notes field for the
individual.  I don't quite see how to do that on an event (not source
details) basis for births & deaths. I do see how I can add custom
events and how there's a notes field there.

Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks,
Jean Suplick

First, make sure Legacy is set to display "General Notes", if that is where
all your notes are located. I have 'Lost" mine when I switched to "Research"
notes and forgot to switch back to "General".

If that is not the problem, backup your data then do the "File, Repair", and
then if that does not work, try the procedure Dennis suggested.

When you click on Notes there are three tabs for General, Research and

If you normally use only the General Notes tab, look at the top of the Notes 
screen and make sure you haven't accidentally clicked on (and reset your 
default to) Research Notes or Medical Notes.

I remember what you describe as happening to me in the past, and that was my 
problem...I didn't even realize there were separate Research or Medical Notes 
screens until that moment.

I take it you are referring to the down arrow, the + and the Geo
Location database buttons?

These are built into the program and you cannot not show them, as with
some icons.  It suggests you have a faulty installation.  I would back
up your family file and then reinstall the program.

Take a look at the first. It is family view.

Bring up the Individual's Information window (that's the title of the
window you're talking about). Then play around with the height and width
of the window. Too small in one direction seems to cause the loss of an
icon or two.

Not that it helps you, but I have the latest Legacy build and the icons you 
speak of are to the right of the surname on my screen. Since they seem to be 
built into the program, I don't see a way to turn the icons on or off.

Have you checked through your settings to see if there's something
you've checked or unchecked that might be responsible?  (Though I can't

Have you shut down Legacy and rebooted the computer since you made this

Amy,

Please send messages in plain text only.

Close Legacy and navigate to the c:\Legacy folder in Windows Explorer.  Delete 
the Legacy2.usr file and then go back into Legacy - that file will be recreated 
and your icons should be back.

Thanks for using Legacy.

All of them have gone blank.
I also had it "add" a field to my note: Cause of Death - and that
started appearing with the notes field box below it - that appeared in
every case as I opened the notes.

Now - that has gone away and only the blank field remains.

Meanwhile the notes icon is still active - instead of the blank grey
page - indicating that Legacy senses there are notes somewhere. But,
where is the question :)

Welcome, Rick.

I think the key is to be thinking about the potential reports that you will
generate from the family file, not just about what you, the user of Legacy,
will see when browsing the family file. Info in event notes will be printed
on various types of reports (unless that option is de-selected on the report
settings). Source detail text is there as a backup for you and any
researchers that have access to your digital data. True, you can choose to
display source detail text with the source citation on reports (footnotes,
etc.), but that is not the default.

Specifically for censuses, there have been discussions about this on the
LUG. Some people even put census details in both places, plus images of the
document. My preference is to ensure that the source details capture
everything that is relevant and in a reasonably verbatum manner, with any
interpretations only in the Comments field. Then in the event notes I put a
more condensed, readable summary of the event, ever sensitive to the
impatient reader of a wordy report. (This applies to events like a census
event. I wouldn't normally add any census-related notes to a birth event,
for example, when citing the census as a source for the birth.)

I am new to Legacy and its notes and sources.  So I have been watching the
training videos.
In entering Sources, Geoff created a Master Source for a birth date and then
added text to the
Source Details (transcribed from the book).  Then attached the source to to
birth date.

Then in adding an event, a census, Goeff went to the Master Source Clipboard
and created a
Master Source, but did not transcribe any text in to the source detail.
Then added the event, the
Census.  Then he transcribed the census info into the notes of the Event,
and attached the Source.
So this source has the notes in the event section and not in the Source
Details.  Although it can
can be added there as well.

So the question is, is there a reason to put the transcribed the text of
your findings into the Source Details
and not the notes in one case.  And then in another event put the text in
the notes and not in the
Sources Details.  Or should it be in both? Or does it even mater?

I put the transcribed census in the Event notes. These are choices not rules. I

Then in adding an event, a census, Goeff went to the Master Source Clipboard 
and created a
Master Source, but did not transcribe any text in to the source detail.  Then 
added the event, the
Census.  Then he transcribed the census info into the notes of the Event, and 
attached the Source.
So this source has the notes in the event section and not in the Source 
Details.  Although it can
can be added there as well.

So the question is, is there a reason to put the transcribed the text of your 
findings into the Source Details
and not the notes in one case.  And then in another event put the text in the 
notes and not in the
Sources Details.  Or should it be in both? Or does it even mater?
