Re: [LegacyUG] Descendent Narrative table of contents
Thank you. Again you are very helpful. I'll work on it. Jeff - Original Message - From: Peter Haughton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 11:11 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Descendent Narrative table of contents Jeff, if you can bear to screen read, just create PDFs. But I agree that at the beginning you need to have paper copies if only of sections of reports to view the differences caused by different selections. I find that printing just the Index of a Descendant Chart, Book or Narrative is adequate now when checking a report--it allows you to quickly move to the onscreen page number without scrolling to find the things you know you need to check. You MUST use Report Setting files with descriptive indicator names so you can swap back and forth between trials, AND so you don't have remember particular settings, AND so you don't have to retype headings and titles and the like. See bottom right of every report options window.

The Narrative is also a lot shorter and less repetitive than the Book. I also usually send a Descendant Chart without boxes but with generation lines which makes it easier for readers to find their way around--then they can go back to the longer Narrative version.

[LegacyUG] Sigh...
Ok, I did as instructed and pulled up the marriage list and lo and behold I see all of those "unknown" marriages. When I pull them up I cant seem to simply delete the unknowns. It wants me to "add a parent" or edit the unknown one. I could unlink but then I would have to find that unlinked one and delete them.

I just did that process after reading the post about the ghost marriages. I was very surprised to see that there were several in my database. I clicked on the child to make him the focus on the screen. Then I clicked unlink from parents. After I finished, I looked again at the marriage list and all the ghost marriages were gone.

[LegacyUG] Sorting by date of birth
Hi; Is there any way to tag a group in the name list, do a search of that tag number and then sort by date of birth? To me that would be much more useful than sorting by RIN, most of which, at least in my file, are random numbers, since there is no way to assign them automaticaly to follow a family group or any other logical system, except manually, one by one.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sharing the Legacy database file
I tried it ... I made a copy of the file on my laptop, made a change there, and then made sure that the folder the file was in was shared and allowed others on my network to make changes to whatever files were in that folder. Then I came to my desktop and loaded the file on the laptop, read the change I had made, and then successfully made a change to my laptop file. This is a great idea, and the only slow thing that I found was that my laptop is wireless, so the connection was a bit slow. And for anyone who does this, be sure to BACK IT UP - BACK IT UP - BACK IT UP - your data file. I would never skip the request to back up your file that Legacy makes when you exit the program. Also, if I do it, I shall make sure that my laptop has a wired connection rather than a wireless connection.

I made a copy of the file on my laptop, made a change there, and then made sure that the folder the file was in was shared and allowed others on my network to make changes to whatever files were in that folder. Then I came to my desktop and loaded the file on the laptop, read the change I had made, and then successfully made a change to my laptop file. This is a great idea, and the only slow thing that I found was that my laptop is wireless, so the connection was a bit slow. And for anyone who does this, be sure to BACK IT UP - BACK IT UP - BACK IT UP - your data file. I would never skip the request to back up your file that Legacy makes when you exit the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] File ID assistant and deleting duplicates
Thanks Cathy, You are right; I do need to familiarize myself with this feature. That was easy enough. Kindest regards, Beth G. Cathy wrote: Hi Beth, The File ID assistant is there to show what file IDs you've already used so you can enter the following number - or in your case, so you can check that you haven't used the name before. I use name + number (or rather type + number as I file by type - birth, will, census ...). That's why it has both a Select button (to use the same File ID again) and a Select + 1 button - so you enter the next available File ID number. It's not so useful if you don't add a number. If you've got into a mess, Print a File ID report so you can identify the ones that don't match the File ID on the actual paper copy. You can use the Edit button in the File ID Assistant to change them - but check out the options carefully. I suspect this won't help in your case, for, if I've understood you correctly, you've used the same File ID name for a number of different papers. You'll need to use the report to help you go back to each usage and change it to what you actually want. You might want to click the Help button on the File ID Assistant screen to learn more.

Re: [LegacyUG] File ID assistant and deleting duplicates
Hi Cathy, I guess I am brain dead. The reply below was supposed to be to the search information. The file ID assistant is another story. When you use a name + number, and reference the document location for more than one citation, does this same name + number show up multiple times in the list and if so why? I have tried alternate entries, such as Frederick Thompson, 1 Nancy Coker; Frederick Thompson Nancy Coker; and Frederick Thompson Nancy Coker, 1. The same file name repeats itself on the list for each occasion that I reference it. Is this the way it is designed? Kindest regards, Beth G.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sharing the Legacy database file
You will have no problems setting Legacy up in a Network enviroment and using it like a network application is suppose to be used. My family association has been doing this for years. We have been trying to get it to work through the Internet, either through a P2P remote access or by hosting the database on the Internet for password protected access from anywhere. Has anyone tried this yet, or is anyone else trying this? Ron -- Original message -- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried it ...

Re: [LegacyUG] Sigh...
Yes. I just added a new spouse, which created a MRIN on one of the ghosts, which I wanted. So it works.
