Re: [LegacyUG] numbering
Hi Naomah, This may work. Try importing the gedcom file again to a new database. Before importing check the option Try to Keep Original Record ID Numbers (RINs). Best regards, Beth G. Naomah wrote: I worked on my genealogy last in 2001. I believe it was Legacy vs. 4 (maybe). Anyway, I downloaded the free Vs 6, which took 4 hours with my dial up. Then miracle of miracles, my 3 1/2 inch floppy that I had my gedcom saved on from 2001 had not become corrupted! It loaded beautifully. Since I do not remember what was and was not available in the free Vs. I used back then I don't know if I am now noticing updates or just what I overlooked then. Anyway, I use the Ahnentafel / d'Aboville Systems. In the program I come up as number 627 in the index (how did that happen?).

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with the way Divorced prints out
Lloyd, I agree with Cathy that it certainly sounds as though there are residual Divorced Events left. From what you say you have done a search to ensure that there are no Divorced Events in your files so I would do a FileFile MaintenanceMaster List Cleanup, and check the boxes for events. It may be some were not deleted correctly by the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] IntelliShare merge message
Richard, I take your point about meaningless messages. What I was trying to suggest was that if the 962 files were dupilicates then perhaps it means that the modified date in the files they were coming from was before the modified date of those they were merging into and, therefore, there may be later details in your files.

[LegacyUG] multimedia files and locations
I am trying to organize the pictures I included in my Legacy file. In doing so I am encountering several problems I could use help with: 1) I have customized Legacy by setting a default path for pictures. Yet, despite that, when I try to add a picture, the folder that Legacy opens for me to choose from is not the one I set in the customize screen. Could be a Legacy bug. 2) By looking at View\master lists\Picture Locations I get a list that shows 5 locations on my hard drive. I would like to put all the images in the one default location, but to move them there I need to know which pictures are in these different locations so I can move them and there seems to be no way for Legacy to identify them for me. That is, there is no Show List button to click on. Is there another way to identify which images are in which locations? If I knew which Access table actually has that information, I could do it that way too. Anyone know? Thanks.

Either way, the fact that it does not follow what is set as the default folder in customization suggests a simple bug in the program. (Easy to do. I've done the same). It sticks to the last folder to have been opened on mine even on restart. They all happen to be in My Documents but there are 5 of them and it always opens at the last one used.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: multimedia files and locations
I use a hierarchical set of folders for family pictures. Legacy successfully finds all the pictures I've linked into legacy in these folders, but because I have the pics in a logical (to me) order I can also find what I want for any other purpose. As I have scanned in several family members' photo albums, I have many pics not chosen for Legacy in the same folders (all backed up, of course) For Documents I use one folder with names that begin with the Legacy Source File ID number and can really only find them from that number. I also have a file of icons I use with some events (sailing ship for early immigration to America, Minuteman for fighting in American Revolution, Caduceus, etc.) I'm having trouble understanding what benefit there would be in having all pics in Legacy in one folder. Individual ones would be hard to find and I would either need a duplicate in a special Legacy folder or to keep family pics in 2 places. Legacy looks where I used last first, but it is easy to find pics in the hierarchy if that's not where the next pic to enter is.

Re: [LegacyUG] multimedia files and locations
Thanks Brian. The support in Legacy is unbelievably good! Good to know. I've not explored the scrapbook yet. (Found my info through Access working on a copy of the file). Do you know why my installation would not follow the picture location I set for it? I'm working with the latest version in Windows XP. Actually, its defaulting to the last folder used for pictures is fine with me, but unlike Ronald Ferguson's, mine only does so until I close it and restart Legacy. Then it loses that ability.

Go to View Scrapbook On that screen you can select the Pictures to view in the scrap book but it also has a print picture list button that will generate a report of all the pictures in the selected areas. When you click on the print button a second window will open where you can select which picture details to include.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: multimedia files and locations
Excellent points. I'm rethinking my approach. Originally my idea is to have a way to easily locate and include all the images I used for Legacy when I shared my data with someone else. But I've since discovered that Passage Express does a good job of finding them wherever they are so that point becomes moot. I suppose the Legacy backup of multimedia does it too. Just feeling my way as I learn the ins and outs of Legacy.

Legacy successfully finds all the pictures I've linked into legacy in these folders, but because I have the pics in a logical (to me) order I can also find what I want for any other purpose. As I have scanned in several family members' photo albums, I have many pics not chosen for Legacy in the same folders (all backed up, of course) For Documents I use one folder with names that begin with the Legacy Source File ID number and can really only find them from that number. I also have a file of icons I use with some events (sailing ship for early immigration to America, Minuteman for fighting in American Revolution, Caduceus, etc.) I'm having trouble understanding what benefit there would be in having all pics in Legacy in one folder. Individual ones would be hard to find and I would either need a duplicate in a special Legacy folder or to keep family pics in 2 places. Legacy looks where I used last first, but it is easy to find pics in the hierarchy if that's not where the next pic to enter is.

In the case of pictures for eg., Legacy opens the last folder used. Personally I am rather glad it does as I have found the need for more than one picture file. Initially I had one containing jpgs of documents and one containg jpgs of pictures but the former became just too big for convenience so I have created others. I cannot really, therefore, have a default as such.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: multimedia files and locations
Cary, I started off your way, or something very similar, but rapidly became disenchanted with continually having to change folders when inserting a new item. I really hate the way paths are selected but accept that it's a method in common usage and I can't think of a better. I accept that my storage involves duplicates and hence extra disc space but the latter is now pretty cheap. Nevertheless, I think it is up to each of us to individually choose whichever method suits us best. Ron Ferguson BTW Jeff, I didn't know about using Scrapbook either as it's a function I don't use. Obvious when one thinks about it but, like you, would have expected it to be an option under Picture Location (as well). _ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/ *New Blogs: The Murder of Adam Mather; Legacy Searches* Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/Grimshaw/ __ From: Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Re: multimedia files and locations Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 16:11:09 -0600 I use a hierarchical set of folders for family pictures.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriages in Chronological order
Yvonne, Open their spouses list by clicking on the spouse Icon. There is a sort button there to order them by date. Remember though that blank dates sort to the top of the list. The two large arrows in the lower right corner allow you to manually order the marriages if you know the order but not the dates.

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriages in Chronological order
Yes. Assume John D'Palmer is the person of interest has married six times. (Might as well as make it rough. g) He has married: Lucy Brown, 1920-03-04 Karen Anderson, 1910-12-12 Tracy Newman, 1922-05-29 Christine Willis, 1935-08-20 Denise Duncan, 1942-10-25 Kathy Stephens, 1930-01-01 Do this: 1. Ok, highlight John D'Palmer. 2. Click on the Spouse icon for John D'Palmer (NOT his wife, you want John D'Palmer in my example) 3. A list of John's marriages comes up, badly out of order chronological order. Click on the Sort button. 4. Now you will see: Karen Anderson, 1910-12-12 Lucy Brown, 1920-03-04 Tracy Newman, 1922-05-29 Kathy Stephens, 1930-01-01 Christine Willis, 1935-08-20 Denise Duncan, 1942-10-25 For those of us who wish to sort a list of spouses by name, or where the marriage date is not known but the *order* of marriages are known, you can do this instead: 1. Ok, highlight John D'Palmer. 2. Click on the Spouse icon for John D'Palmer (NOT his wife, you want John D'Palmer in my example) 3. Now highlight a spouse that is out of order. 4. At the bottom right of the spouse window are Up and Down arrows. Use this move the spouse into an order you prefer.
