[LegacyUG] Picture problem
Hi Does anyone know of a quick way to transfer the pictures attached to the event sources to the event instead? I have attached all of my census images to the source instead of the event itself and know need to have them attached to the event so I can send a gedcom file to someone else. When I send it the source pictures aren’t coming up. The other person has genbox. Even though I have given them a cd with the images on and the program is pointed to the right directory the images aren’t attached to the source, so the census pictures aren’t showing. It’s only if I attach the image to the event itself that they show up. Any suggestions on how to do this would be gratefully received :-) Gayle New Zealand -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

That seems rather complicated Carl. Why not just give the current no. 1 an unused RIN and then change the RIN of the one you wish to No. 1?

Re: [LegacyUG] Set Direct Line as Preferred
Hi Jean, You don't need to go through a Gedcom unless you are wanting to leave out Research notes or some other field - you can export direct to a Legacy file. Every family in Legacy has a preferred child whether they are part of the Direct line set or not, whether you've chosen one to be the preferred or not. The asterisk shows the Preferred child. This means you can use the click next to the children on the Family line to run down a number of different lines. Setting the Direct line changes the preferred child to the one in the Direct line, if that family is part of the Direct line. The last line set as Direct line overrides others. You can also set the Direct line to be Bold - See Options > Customise - Data Format Tab In addition you can set relationships and set the Colour Coding. So many ways to indicate those most important. :-) These won't all show unless your cousin has the same options set for these things in Options > Customise. Someone else replied how to get your cousin as RIN 1. Note RINs are not allocated in any logical manner. They're a computer database indexing number. Cheers, Cathy At 02:51 PM 14/11/2006, you wrote: I created a focus group of an ancestor and his descendants and imported it into a new file. I renumbered the RIN's to start at number 1. In the new file, my name appears as number 1, not the starting ancestor I chose in the focus group. I don't think this really matters, I just thought it odd. My real problem is: In the new file, I set one of the descendants of this ancestor as the preferred direct line under Tools and customized to highlight the names in his direct line and include an asterisk. Unfortunately, in addition to his direct line having the asterisk and being highlighted, they still appear at my name and with all of my direct line. (We only share two direct-line ancestors.) I've tried setting him as preferred a few times and turning the customization on and off. I've also exported and imported again with him being the preferred direct line in the original file. It hasn't fixed anything. Any suggestions? (What I'm trying to do is make a Legacy file for a cousin with just his branch of the family. The only way I could figure how to do it was by forming a focus group, exporting to a GEDCOM, and importing the GEDCOM to a new file. Maybe someone knows a better way to accomplish this.) Thank you for your help.

RE: [LegacyUG] Transcribing software
Have just had a look at this little programme. It's well worth a look for anyone who needs to transcribe documents manually. The scanned document can be viewed at the top with room to transcribe into a word processor at the bottom. One could then copy the transcribed document and add it as the text/ detail section of a source in Legacy. Best of all - it's free. Thanks for the link Chris.

Re: [LegacyUG] Transcribing software
Hi, Dee Thanks, but that wasn't it. The reference was for a little program which split into two screens, one for the image and the other for typing in the transcript. Easier than loading an image viewer and a wordprocessor, and reducing each to half-screen size. Cheers, Mary Young On 11/14/06, Dee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is this what you meant?

Re: [LegacyUG] Transcribing software
Is this what you meant? It was from October 19. I have cut and pasted it here. Dee Pat:I sort of do the same, but for US Censuses I pull upthe page I want in Ancestry at the library, and thencopy and paste the series, reel, and image numbersfrom the View Record link to a Word file, and then go home and use Heritage Quest to study or transcribe thepage. Those numbers are at the bottom of the list offield data, and usually in italics.I have found that the Image Number for the 1880 and 1930 censuses in Ancestry aren't the same as inHeritage Quest. Those are the two years that HeritageQuest's name index isn't complete, too!So for those years I view the Ancestry image, in ornear the upper right corner. There you will find a stamped number, obviously not part of the printedform. That's the image number that Heritage Questfiles that image under.If the line numbers on the image you want aren't 1 to50 there is no stamped number. So I select the Page A tab (I think that that's the tab name) and look at theimage with lines 1 to 50 for the stamped number.Hope that this is clear . . .Happy searching!By the way, as long as I have been dong Ancestry at the library (probably two+ years) the Library Editionsays that Ancestry's contract with whoever the librarycontracts with specifically limits Ancestry's use toinside the library.Jennie On 11/13/06, Mary Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'd be grateful for link to the little program for viewing andtranscribing, mentioned recently.

You do not say from where you are creating the webpages. If it is from Internet>Create Web Pages then you need to go to the "What" tab and in the Events box check include pictures.

Re: [LegacyUG] A little off topic but...
I have been around a long time so microfilm is the word that pops out of my mouth :) I would want the papers to be treated in the best manner possible.
