Re: [LegacyUG] Fan Charts Custom Printed
A Fan Chart is simply one (nice) way of presenting Direct-line ancestors. Take a look at the Pedigree Chart for 8 generations. Put the pages together and see where the gaps are.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Tree Ver 5
Hi Brian Thanks for your reply. The MyTrees works fine but I only received one CD in the package # ALA3 3005 215 (the other packages in the store also only have a single CD) so when I am promted to insert the Legacy CDs nothing happens.

RE: [LegacyUG] Family Tree Ver 5
Myrna, IMSI Software did produce two Legacy products - Legacy v4 and Legacy v5. I know for sure that there are index CDs with the v4 product as I have a copy of that, but I don't have the v5 product, so I don't know for sure if CDs are included. It's quite possible that they're referring to the search features in Legacy v5 - "Search Internet for Current Person" and "Search the IGI", which would give access to one billion names. We don't have a copy of the v5 release by IMSI and I haven't seen it in the stores around here. If I can find it, I'll check it out - unless someone else has the v5 release and can report back to us. What they're offering is a bit different than what we sell in our Online Store. Thanks for using Legacy.

Hi Nick, I also enter uncertain people as unlinked individuals or families. I also document in notes for both people of the possible link. For my own benefit, I sometimes link them in adding 'Probable' or 'Possible' to the Given Names. When doing a report for others, I unlink these people - they're easy enough to find by searching on the Given Names for <'P>.

I have only had a quick look at it in Open Office and it will open the file but iI found it needed to be renamed from a ".fdb" to ".mdb" before it would open. I used the quickstart and then Database and selected Access as the file type. It is necessary to save it as an ".odb" file and it opens itself automatically.

Re: [LegacyUG] How do you record someone acting as a witness? Changes in County boundaries?
I also do something similiar. I have create an event called Gravesite and record the information in the following way Event name: Gravesite Event Place : Eaglehawk Cemetery, Eaglehawk, , Victoria, Australia Notes "Location Section: MON G, Grave Number: 34 Transcription of Headstone This Plaque had been laid to commemorate / the arrival from Cornwall 140 years ago / on the SS Great Britain 24 Dec. 1861 of / Martha (Carbis) / Died 1882 / John Bassett Died 1868 / Both are Laid to rest here. / They laid the foundation for our future. / Remembered by the descendants 20 Jan. 2002 / At a Family gathering in Eaglehawk. Interred at this site John Bassett Martha Bassett" If there is no headstone I just put No Headstone instead of Transcription of Headstone. This has the effect of standardizing the information in the event and the look. This standardization looks good in reports and is also clear to non-geneologists. In somecases I also attach a photo of the grave site if I have it. It also helps if I go the cemetery and I can print off an Event Report for a paricular location do some research and/or take photos. Sandra Melbourne Cary wrote: Another option is to create a Burial info event for each person, putting a picture of that headstone and putting transcriptions in the notes. That way pictures will appear for that person in written reports (they won't if added to Burial in Family view). I put a photo of the cemetery entrance in the Source description, but each stone only with the person(s) named. Cary -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gail Rich Nestor Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 10:09 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How do you record someone acting as a witness? Changes in County boundaries? Hi Dave, in Legacy I currently only use the grave marker information as a source for facts/events (i.e. St. Thomas Aquinas Cemetery, Ogdensburg, Sussex County, New Jersey, grave marker for William C. Nestor, photographed by Marghie Nestor Howard, 16 Jun 2004.). This includes the master source portion (the cemetery info.) and the citation detail (the stone itself). I include the inscription in the detail text, but do not attach the photo in Legacy. The reason for not attaching the photo is that the citation detail is copied and pasted as a source for several events/facts and I thought it would be very redundant to paste the photo mutiple times. Instead, I import all my photos (pictures, documents, and grave marker phots) directly to TNG. Each cemetery has the all the photos where I have them available. I also put the transcriptions there and attach to the appropriate individual(s) in TNG. For transcriptions where I do not have a photo or where I found the photo at FindAGrave or elsewhere on the net, I merely list the transcription and then create a link to where the photo and/or transcription originated. It probably makes better sense if you check out a few of my cemeteries online. For all photos I own, I scan them at an archival size and place them in the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Then, I create a web-sized copy of them and place them in a single folder (sorted alphabetically by last name) to be uploaded to TNG. Therefore, I never have to worry about long file names caused by them being buried in subdirectories. I hope this gives you some ideas. There are lots of ways to do this, but this has worked well for me (aside for the tedium of having to make two copies of every photo!). I'm not sure if this answers your original question, but I see you have posted to the TNG list where the gurus there can probably better answer your technical question. Hope this helps!

Re: [LegacyUG] Uncertain of relationship
Nick, Like Glen and Ivy, I have entered the second family group into my database, but they were unlinked. Remarkably, a granddaughter of one tree married the spouse of a granddaughter in the other tree. (One wife died young.) I don't think the spouse knew the two women were related - maybe they were 5th cousins. But that ended up joining my two trees, just not in the way I wanted! (I think the two heads are 2nd cousins, but Irish records are non-existent for the time period I want.) When I do publish a family report on this family (Murphys, coincidentally, Ivy), I plan to show the cousins and their descendants, too, as they are descendants of the same who-knows-how-distant unknown ancestor. One cousin stated in a depostion of a Civil War Pension file that he knew the other back in Ireland, and that they were distantly related. So, Nick, I'd suggest going ahead and entering the data. You might start to find coincidences in the two families that might help you to connect them at some later date. Good luck!

Thanks all for help so far. The individuals are in unlinked. I linked the line to where I think/hope it will fit. I believe if I unlink from common parents it will be done.

RE: [LegacyUG] How do you record someone acting as a witness? Changes in County boundaries?
Another option is to create a Burial info event for each person, putting a picture of that headstone and putting transcriptions in the notes. That way pictures will appear for that person in written reports (they won't if added to Burial in Family view). I put a photo of the cemetery entrance in the Source description, but each stone only with the person(s) named.

Changes in County boundaries? Hi Dave, in Legacy I currently only use the grave marker information as a source for facts/events (i.e. St. Thomas Aquinas Cemetery, Ogdensburg, Sussex County, New Jersey, grave marker for William C. Nestor, photographed by Marghie Nestor Howard, 16 Jun 2004.). This includes the master source portion (the cemetery info.) and the citation detail (the stone itself). I include the inscription in the detail text, but do not attach the photo in Legacy. The reason for not attaching the photo is that the citation detail is copied and pasted as a source for several events/facts and I thought it would be very redundant to paste the photo mutiple times. Instead, I import all my photos (pictures, documents, and grave marker phots) directly to TNG. Each cemetery has the all the photos where I have them available. I also put the transcriptions there and attach to the appropriate individual(s) in TNG. For transcriptions where I do not have a photo or where I found the photo at FindAGrave or elsewhere on the net, I merely list the transcription and then create a link to where the photo and/or transcription originated. It probably makes better sense if you check out a few of my cemeteries online. For all photos I own, I scan them at an archival size and place them in the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Then, I create a web-sized copy of them and place them in a single folder (sorted alphabetically by last name) to be uploaded to TNG. Therefore, I never have to worry about long file names caused by them being buried in subdirectories. I hope this gives you some ideas. There are lots of ways to do this, but this has worked well for me (aside for the tedium of having to make two copies of every photo!).

Not strictly true - the non-genetic link shows up if there is nothing nearer. I was hoping for a way to find all links, not just the nearest.

Yes, I understand that. But I was hoping for a way of seeing multiple relationships. (One of my previous FT programs could do that - FTM or Brothers Keeper?) In fact, I'm continually switching the starter person (rarely it's myself). in your case it would be possible to set the deceased as the starting point and the brother in law would (I think - haven't tried it) have shown up as his sister's husband. Alas, no, he was a cousin, so that takes precedence.

RE: [LegacyUG] Relationships by Marriage
The relationship "in law" isn't a genetic link and so the "brother in law" relationship won't show up. But using the relationship calculator for the husband and wife you do get both relationships - wife and 1st cousin.

RE: [LegacyUG] Relationships by Marriage
I don't think that there is. Assuming that you have set the relationship calculator with yourself as the starting point then the relationship to you will always take priority. It can always be temporarily set to someone else and switched back as required though. Eg. in your case it would be possible to set the deceased as the starting point and the brother in law would (I think - haven't tried it) have shown up as his sister's husband.

It works properly for me ...

When I close the "Husbands of___" screen, then reopen, they are back in the order in which I entered them. I can sort till I'm blue in the face, or place them in the order I want manually, but when I reopen the screen, they're back the way they were. It's frustrating to me, since I may not know all the spouses in the correct order at the time I enter them. I would like them to be in date order, especially since I share my GEDCOM on Rootsweb/Ancestry with family near and far. It looks like sloppy scholarship if they are out of order.
