Re: [LegacyUG] Problems with Legacy
Beth, For what it is worth I have used Legacy since v.2. Had a problem with v.2. The president of Legacy contacted me, said if I sent the file to him he would do what he could. Me... I only know how to work the on/off button. He walked me thru sending the file, he fixed the problem and sent it back. Then before Sherry started working for Legacy she helped me with a problem that really had nothing to do with the Legacy Program it was something I was doing. I use Win XP home edition. I betcha Sherry could help you, if not she will know who can help you. I know how distressed you must be. I feel sure someone at Legacy will help you get your problem fixed. You have a whole bunch of people caring about you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problems with Legacy
I feel the same way. I run XP and Legacy ver. 5. Have used Legacy since ver 2. Never had any problems until I did the final upgrade to Legacy 5. My program frequently hangs when I am using Sources and moving from window to window. I've done all the restarting, deleting usr files, computer and file maintenance, reinstall, etc., and never quite get it completely fixed. I've had extensive conversations with Sherry and Brian about it. At this point, I just live with it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Problems with Legacy
I had a fleeting problem with Legacy that turned out to have been caused by the McAfee security suite. (It was also messing up other programs.) I'm now using another virus scan product with no issues anywhere. I'm on XP Home edition. Is it possible your problems are from your security programs/settings rather than Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] [fromDate]
Brian, Thanks, that does the job. However I have a second question. Why is a period needed for the use with [fromDate]? In many cases the beginning date of an event is know but no end date. Also a real future is possible. Example: I live in a town from 1-2-1973 till today and further. In this case I like to use a sentence like: I live in -town- from 1-2-1973.

Next Go to the Marriage List and click on the MRIN Button to sort the list by MRIN. click the options Button and select print to make a list of all your existing MRINs. From the Preview you can make a PDF file to save on your hard drive or to print a hard copy on your printer. 3. Compare that list to your file numbers and make notes which MRINs need to be renumbered. 4. Go To Tools Renumber RINS where you can then begin the renumbering manually. You cannot have two marriages with the Same MRIN so it will mean temporarily making a number available before you can renumber another MRIN to fill the spot.

Re: [LegacyUG] Blue down-pointing triangle in Individual Information short cut key?
When you want to look at possible shortcuts, you can always go to Help, then search for Shortcuts and you'll see the link to Shortcut keys. (Learned that from a LUGger!) That said, I saw nothing that would bring you into the Master location list. I tried a few of the ALT + commands, but none of those worked that way. I also looked at the drop down menus above, and none of those showed a shortcut next to the View Master Locations list. If they don't exist, perhaps the other ALT + numbers could be programmed to include those three buttons. Good luck - perhaps someone else has stumbled on a key!

Then in notes, I make the notation, ~ = unproven child, and whatever reminders I think will help with the search. (At my age I forget stuff.) When I am looking for unproven children to work on at a later date, I do a Detailed Search with the query individual given names contains ~. It's easy to spot in the Name list, too. If the tilde has some other computer function within Legacy, I haven't come across a conflict yet, but haven't made a GEDCOM, either, that contains the tilde as a marker. -- Alice -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 15, 2006 3:39 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Documenting unproven children I just learned the names of my 3-great-grandparents, Edwin Wild and Charlotte Johnson. They had two children, which I've documented. However, now I have other four names that are possibly additional offspring. I want to document these possibilities until either proven or disproven. What is the best way to do this? I don't really want to bury this in research notes. Should I add the children with brackets around the names or in some other manner flag these names?

Re: [LegacyUG] Report language...?
Martin, The French Language Version of Legacy, plus other international versions, is still being developed and trialled. Only the French Testing group has access to that version at this time. For full details on the international versions go to: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/InternationalLegacyVersions.asp There are however a limited number of reports where you can choose the report language. On those, and those reports only, click on the report language button, select any of the language.trn files and the labels etc. for the report will be in the selected language. Of course the data you have entered will still be in the language of entry. The language selection on the Options menu is for the language of the main program and, at this time, only the four variations of English (US, Cdn, Aus and UK) are included in the version available for download at our site.

From the Preview you can make a PDF file to save on your hard drive or to print a hard copy on your printer. 3. Compare that list to your file numbers and make notes which MRINs need to be renumbered. 4. Go To Tools Renumber RINS where you can then begin the renumbering manually.

Re: [LegacyUG] Documenting unproven children
Alice, There is another alternative you might want to consider. I have a source called Comments of Jon Raymond. Here I enter various comments about matters, especially conflicting sources. For example, for an event that is sourced with two or more census years and there is conflicting data (I have lots of these), I use the comment source to explain the discrepancies and my conclusions.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Definition Timeline Sharing
I have created a few events to go along with the Will event. Since that one was set up for when someone signed a will, I made to others that fit some of my documents: Will Filed: [HisHer] will was filed [Desc] [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] and Will Recipient: [HeShe] was named in the will of [Desc], [onDate], [inPlace]. [Notes][Sources] In this one, I add in the notes what was bequeathed (sp?) to the person.

I have seen some instances of TMG users sharing event definitions and wondered, does anyone have any Legacy ones to share? I assume that many people will have created new events and/or changed existing ones. It would be great to see how people are putting these to use. Anyone care to share? Also it seemed to me that with the release of V6 we would start to see an influx of Timelines created by each other, but this doesn't seem to be the case and may be an under used function. Does anyone have any timelines to share? Personally I have created only one, which may be of limitied use to others, it is a timeline of the town Middlesbrough in England. Middlesbrough is a relatively young town which developed quickly due to heavy industry. Of course if anyone has any relatives in this town it could be useful.

RE: [LegacyUG] Problems with Legacy
Arnie, It appears that you purchased the IMSI release of Legacy. The tree on the front of the box is actually a Relationship Report based on relationships shown when using the Relationship Calculator, found under the Tools menu. It indicates the line between two individuals and although similar to a drop-down chart, it's really not the same. Thanks for using Legacy.

No problems with Legacy except with my ability to do something correctly per the Legacy manual. My only problem with Legacy is the lack of generating TREES as does FTM and my old Mac Reunion program. I tried Charting Companion and am not in love with it. I use FTM 9.0 for trees. I understand many others use the same method to manufacture Trees. That is, going to other programs. OK, so it is inconceivable to me, that with all the mail about users and listers wanting included TREES that Legacy management does not do anything about it. I am no programmer, but how hard could it be to expand the 3 generation trees included. Also, on the front cover of my Legacy Family Tree box is a Johnathan Martin Brown Family Tree in top down Box format of 5 generations with pictures on either side of the boxes. In the boxes is some limited information about the people. I thought this tree would cover all generations and is one of the reasons I bought the program to begin with. How do I make this tree anyway. I cannot find it in my book, or am I overlooking something? Sorry for my tirade and hope in Legacy 7.0 trees will be included, then Legacy will be the Number 1 genealogy program not only in content, but in sales as well. FYI at a local Fort Worth College only FTM is taught for genealogy. I took the course and it sold a lot of FTM, especially when the teacher unrolled a Family Tree about 30 or 40 feet long. However, I did not see the reports (the strength of Legacy, but you need trees to become number 1, yes redundant) Arnie in Texas Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
