Re: [LegacyUG] event dates
Hi Carlos, You've misunderstood. In Legacy you have a choice of including Baptism amongst the birth/death events OR with other events like Graduation. You also have the choice, when including it in the birth/death events section, of calling it Baptism or Christening. You can also place Alternate dates for these events in the Event/Fact section if you find conflicting information - and later if you find the Alternate date better supported, swapping them over - See Event - Options Button. This is the same in Standard and Deluxe.

Re: [LegacyUG] event dates
Carlos, No need to enter data in the fields on the individual information screen and in the events. If you put the baptism, etc in the field on the individual's screen, same as you do their name, birth, etc. Then if you learn of conflicting information, such as for the birth a different location then use the event alt birth, etc. Be aware that if later you swap the event alt info for the info in their individual screen only the date will swap, not the Description or Place information.

Re: [LegacyUG] event dates
Ann, It's only the Description information that doesn't swap as there is no place for Description in the main events. Place swaps fine as do sources.

RE: [LegacyUG] To keep or not to keep?
I would keep the letters in sleeves in a 3-ring binder. Judging by the use of e-mail for correspondence, these letters will one day be a novelty for descendants. If at all possible, I would also keep the envelope. While it's a good idea to transcribe the letter for your computer files, some people will always like to see the original, if its available. Being able to actually hold a letter written by an ancestor makes one feel closer to them than all the transcribed words. Also, the handwriting itself often gives clues to the personality as much as the words. Linda B. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 4:05 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] To keep or not to keep? Genealogy has mainly been a lark for me over the years fueled by curiosity. Filling in the blanks was the goal, not documenting every word. Using Legacy made me rethink my approach, along with communication with a cousin who does it the "right" way. Her records made me realize that it is important for my descendents to be able to find where I got my information. I am slowly documenting what I can of my research instead of gleefully adding names...not much fun in that! This list is being enormously helpful. When my parents died (father in 1996 and mother in 2003), I gathered all the papers they had saved relating to genealogy. Happily, I had spent time with each of them identifying old photos and documenting stories. The papers have been sitting for a long time. A few months ago, I finally started organizing and transcribing them. I am archiving original legal and other important documents, of course. However, there were reams of letters and notes from family members. I have transcribed them verbatim and noted that they were handwritten letters from so-and-so, then discarded them to save space. Now I am thinking that I am destroying original records and should be given 20 lashes! But, says me, these are like oral history, not solid documents like birth certificates and such. It seems that trying to keep every scrap of paper is unwieldy and unnecessary. How do you decide what to preserve?

Re: [LegacyUG] To keep or not to keep?
Cary is on the right track here about donating your files to a local society or library. They will usually store them in their "manuscript collection" and generally make them available to the public. I have found wonderful things in manuscript collections through NUCMUC (National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections) on the Library of Congress webpage. This was in print form in the eighties and available in most large libraries, but is now online. I understand that most of the old diaries, letters, postcards, and manuscripts are either thrown out by heirs or end up on ebay. Much better to donate them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships not Husband/Wife
Well well well - if you look at the email "Gedcom Import Issue" - I think we have a solution that does not require having or knowing how to use access. I created a sample file with Female Partner1 on the left and Female Partner2 on the right (M and F) and Adopted Child. I then exported them to a GEDCOM. Using Notepad, I changed the sex of Female Partner1 to F. I then imported the file into a new family file. The sex of both partners is Female, and both are grayed out. I don't know what will happen if you merge this or link to an existing family, but Judie, perhaps you can try this, and see if it works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships not Husband/Wife
Good Day Susan, Hopefully my response will be accepted by the email list as I am writing from work via an Internet connection to my email. I work at a medical equipment and software company which figures in my later response. Yes, Legacy 6 should accept the changed GEDCOM (a very early version did not import spouse identified as the same gender). Unfortunately once the changed GEDCOM has been imported into Legacy there are "problems" in reports and other areas. You might want to read through the information I have at http://www.moss-fritch.com/legacy.htm Slightly more than one percent of the world's population is genetically neither XX (female) or XY (male). I have two individuals in my own records with current "social and government" information identifying them as different "genders". One records says one thing and another says the opposite. These two individuals are genetically XXY. Unfortunately neither individual "fits" into the gender categories allowed by Legacy 6. As I wrote above, I work for a medical equipment and software company in the radiation treatment of cancer. Our software, as does most medical software, recognizes the small percentage of people within the population who do not fit the assumed female/male limits. Our software actually has a couple of additional categories. So, while changing a GEDCOM in a text editor will work, please understand that Legacy has a number of "built in" (logic checks) that will limit and even change the desired gender designations.

[LegacyUG] Census - Citation
I agree, that the sourcing/citions can some times be hair raising, but I have found when the fields just don't seem to work and look the way I want them.I skip them all. I give it a source list name, that works and makes sense for me. I then skip all fields and go right to the publication facts and set up my source exactly the way I want it to print/appear. I check it using the output tab, until it looks just the way I want it to. Not a perfect solution, but my source output is just the way I want it.

RE: [LegacyUG] To keep or not to keep?
Absolutely! There are some "treasures" I would never consider throwing out, such as a set of letters from Sweden to the family in America, including descriptions of the death and burial of each of the parents, as well as anecdotes about their lives back in Sweden. They are quite fragile now, so I have copied them, sealed them in acid-free sleeves and placed them in a binder to protect them from light. These will be passed on to my children or donated to the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Augustana College. On this track, I am beginning to wonder whether I should do a better job with letters of this kind, lengthy biographies written by family members, personal histories written by the person, newspaper articles, etc. I have placed them all under Notes, but looking at the print preview, it all looks a bit "thrown together."

Re: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?
The point of making backups Computers are not perfect. A virus can erase your data in any program (or the programs too). Your operating system could crash requiring you to reinstall, and maybe format the harddrive. Your harddrive could stop working. And - why I advise people to keep a backup somewhere else (bank box, or someones house...) - you could have a house fire or other disaster. Heck, I even keep a backup in another province incase of a larger scale disaster!

Re: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?
The reason for making a backup on the SAME computer is that your main Legacy file can become corrupted BUT your backup is fine so you can recreate your main file from the backup. Obviously you also want to make backups in some way that is not part of your computer and also that can be stored remotely in some manner. I backup EVERY time I exit Legacy; but then, my main file is on a USB drive and I backup to my desktop computer's hard drive as well as to my laptop computer's hard drive (depending on which I am currently using. So if I were to lose the entire hard drive of one of my computers AND the USB drive as well, I will still have a backup on the other compter's hard drive. That will not help if I had a house fire. That is why I need a remote backup as well. I do this by sending my file to several family members.On 7/24/06, Brian Balkcom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Trusting the validity of the ancient axiom that "the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked" I venture the following: What is the value of a Legacy backup?

Re: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?
Brian, Since you're working in a database that gets updated al the time you enter something, it's hard to go back to a state that you know the database was correct when you make a mistake. When you open a textfile and edit it and realise you accidentely deleted an important part, but you can't remember what it was like when you started (and undo won't help), you just close the file without saving, reopen the file and you're back in business. When backing up, you can go back to a "trusted state". Also, I found that backing up in Legacy compresses the files more than my ZIP-program would. So I back it up in Legacy and frequently I move the backup files to a CD or DVD, like I would with a copy of all my changed files -- not as often as I should, but pretty often ;-) Marco2006/7/24, Brian Balkcom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Trusting the validity of the ancient axiom that "the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked" I venture the following: What is the value of a Legacy backup?

A couple more reasons that haven't yet been mentioned . . . . It's recommended to make a backup prior to making any "major" changes to your database. Then if something goes wrong with your updates, or you don't like the result, it's likely easier to restore from the backup than to undo your edits. I have 2 different physical hard drives in my computer. So even though I'm making backups to the same computer they are on different hard drives and therefore protect against a fairly common computer problem -- a hard drive failure. Realize . . . it's not "if" your hard drive will fail, it's "when"!

[LegacyUG] Change of name and dob. (fornerly search string)
Hi Jan, The change of name is straightforward just use AKA and details in notes for eg.. In the UK it was not all that uncommon for people to lie about the ages of their children on censuses (to avoid child labour laws). Incorrect ages were also given in order to enlist in the armed forces early and on birth certificates (to avoid being fined for late registration) wrt the latter, unless there is a church record it is impossible to tell; the former can quite often be determined from birth certificates or parish registers. In event there is only one dob (or age) and no matter what anybody decides for themselves is irrelevant, other than the insight it gives into the person.

RE: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?
Brian I think that the logic error comes from "consequently..." The Legacy Backup doesn't restrict you to doing a backup to the same drive or even the same machine. - you can do the backup to anywhere and copy to a CD or ram stick - you can do the backup to another physical drive - you can do a backup across a network I keep my data on one machine and backup to another, so that barring a fire I shouldn't lose both. I also keep every backup and occasionally "dump" old ones to a spare drive. To cover the fire problem I will probably copy occasionally to my web site in a passworded folder (you've all got me paranoid now about having a fire!). As the copy on my laptop is always out of date, I'm also toying with the other idea of storing the data on a ram stick and backing up to the hard drives, but how reliable are the sticks compared to a disk?

If you open that you will be presented with two screens, one of which is your hard drive's filing system and the other for files to burn. If you click on the file in the window for your computer and click on an arrow, it will "move" the file to the box to be burned to CD.After you've selected all the files you want to burn, you then click on whatever is available that says to start creating or burning the CD.However, another thing I wanted to tell you is that quite often when computers "crash" the whole hard drive isn't lost. I've never lost a file from a hard drive even though I've been using a computer for about ten years. Even if something is wrong with the Windows portion of the hard drive so that it won't boot up, etc., you can piggy back the hard drive onto another computer and access it and the files just like a jump drive or an external hard drive. I know you wouldn't feel comfortable doing this, but it might be worth your time finding someone to do this for you rather than reconstructing your Legacy database.PattiPat wrote: Fairly recently, my computer crashed and I lost my family file and do not want that to happen again. Can you tell me, step-by-step how to put a copy of the file on a CD. I really need specifics because I have not done this before. I did get one response, but it was not specific enough to help me. I regularly back my file up on the C drive. The file is called familyfile.fdb, and I notice that when I back it up and creates a zip file. Does that make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] Making a backup of my family file
Hi Tom, This may be the problem. If you are trying to open the file on the CD, you can't as you can't write to the CD from Legacy. You have to copy the file back to your hard drive. If you have put it back on your hard drive, you may need to change the file attribute from Read Only by right clicking on the File, choose Properties and untick the box. Cathy At 08:08 AM 25/07/2006, you wrote: With the talk again about making back ups I decided to try a CD back up. As the entire file was too large for one CD I backed up 'data' and other selected files. I used the system described below. When I tested it I get a message: The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'D:\Making CD\Data\Family History060607.fdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? Now I'm outta my league! Any help, please?

Tom, have you tried the Gates salute yet? (ctrl+alt+delete) There might be some system flag that needs to be reset...

Re: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?
Brian noted that he kept his data on another computer, or another place. I wonder if he was referring to the zip backup process rather than just copying the data files? In that case, the backup is much smaller than the data files, but with today's large hard drives is changing the data to a zip file of that much value?
