Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Gedcom Tags to Legacy
Cathy, Thank you for your quick reply. My OP clearly sought assistance with exporting to Gedcom V5.5, not importing. Since your reply, I have checked again the tags available for export using the Legacy setting for V5.5. None of these tags, and these are only examples of many, are not included In the V5.5 list. During this check I found that the NATU tag was available for export (but, presumably, according to Legacy, not a valid V5.5 tag), but not the other three. I am well aware that Legacy has disappointed a number of users by not having a witness feature, but the ASSO tag can be used for other functions. Back to the NATU tag. Although I can see it as a tag for export, I cannot find where I can input the data relevant to this tag. I can see no way of creating an event and associating that event with a specific Gedcom tag as you suggest. If I could do this, a major part of my problem would be solved. As for the remaining two tags, as part of my example, I cannot find these tags to export, let alone know of an event associated with these tags. I would be very pleased if you could explain how I can make them. Thanks again for your assistance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Gedcom Tags to Legacy
Sorry Stuart, You'll have to ask someone else. I know very little about Gedcom and currently little interest in them. I assumed since you had various tags, you had the Gedcom. If you are trying to make a Gedcom, I have no idea. I don't quite understand making a Gedcom with information you haven't entered. I'd enter some and see what happened when exporting a Gedcom if having the information included in a Gedcom was important to me. If it wasn't included, I'd enter it differently. I was talking about what you do when you're importing a Gedcom with these or other unknown tags. Cathy At 08:16 PM 19/12/2006, you wrote: Cathy, Thank you for your quick reply.

[LegacyUG] Timelines
I've just started playing with the prepared Timelines Is there anyplace to go find new ones that people have compiled? Also - I noticed the Canadian Census one that comes with it doesn't have all the census's. I'm showing the timeline for my ancestor (limit to his lifetime...) Be was born 1825, died 1892 And the first census listed is 1871. But I have notes from the 1861 census, and It seems to me there was a 1851 and maybe an 1841 census too? *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

[LegacyUG] How do you personally put in information that you think is incorrect....
My father and I have been working on one of our Ancestors for 40 years now (he is our brick wall.) I recently discovered that one of the sources we had used for some information probably does not pertain to this ancestor after all. My father had found our ancestor living in a Mental Assylum in the Canadian 1881 Census, under the name of McCasline (our name is McCaslin...). From that information and further research, we had an exact death date and place (from the assylum), a calculated birthdate (a few years off our other calculated birthdate), and some other information. The rest of the family had not been found on the census. I have since discovered that ancestor AND most of the Family living in the same county as they did in 1871 - but under McCastin (the t didn't match the l in Soundex, but of course looks very similar!) The information matches the information from the other census's. So either the McCasline was the wrong person - or he was sometimes at the assylum, and sometimes at home - and got counted twice. (so obviously I need to do more research) So now the question. I do have what I've found commented in the notes. I don't want to just remove the information from the files but I don't want to get confused either, thinking I have the definate information when it is now put under a great amount of doubt.And even if I do disprove the information, I don't want to just remove it either, as others might make the same mistake? So - how do you put disproved or doubtful information (that others might find and think is right) into Legacy in such a way that it is totally clear it is disproved or doubtful? I do realize there isn't 1 right way - but I'd like to hear what people would suggest! Thanks! *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

[LegacyUG] RTF reports in OpenOffice - Table of Contents, Indexes, and Graphics
Hi Listers, I'm trying to create reports in RTF format and use OpenOffice 2.1 in order to do some editing before printing. First I'm new at using OpenOffice for doing Legacy reports as usually I create the PDF file format (which is quick and simple for sharing with others). However, I need to do some editing of the output for a Descendant Narrative Report and/or Multiple Lines of Descent Report. Already, I'm having trouble in creating the Table of Contents and the Name Index. Has anyone had success with doing these RTF format reports using OpenOffice? If so, might I get some step-by step instructions on creating the Table of Contents and Indexes with this program? Also, I've noticed that even though I selected the option to embed graphics in the file I see no pictures, and could use some help here, too. Are there any caveats or gotchas that I need to be aware of in using OpenOffice with the Legacy generated RTF files? If this is a bit off topic for the group in general, feel free to reply off-line. Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated. Dan Bateham *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Re: [LegacyUG] How do you personally put in information that you think is incorrect....
I think someone in Legacy has suggested creating Events named Disproven Birth, Disproven Death, etc. for this information. Then it is included in any report that contains events but it is clear that it is not to be accepted (but, if you want to create a report without this data, you could make these event Private).

RE: [LegacyUG] How do you personally put in information that you think is incorrect....
Heather: Of course, a lot depends on what you produce from your database--whether it's a book, report, or whatever. My main output is a GEDCOM for posting which does not include Events, so this is how I handle situations like you describe: I have a Master Source simply called NOTE with no additional source information. At the correct McCaslin's screen I would attach this source (probably to the name field) and in the Source Detail Text box list the information found pertaining to the other person and write an explanation that this is probably not the same individual. Another option would be to simply create an unlinked individual and add all his information until you eventually find if and where he fits in your tree. In this case, I would still attach a cautionary note to the correct ancestor's record.

RE: [LegacyUG] How do you personally put in information that you think is incorrect....
Hi Heather, If you go to the 'Sample' file that comes with Legacy and click on the Events for Asa Clark Brown, one of the events is 'Disproven Birth'. My suggestion is to use something similar. Put the information in an event called 'Disproved', 'Disproved' or something similar and add the information in the notes section, you could then link your disproven source to the Event in the usual way. I think I would work along these lines. Best wishes David S Brookes Polesworth N.Warks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Gedcom Tags to Legacy
remember Gedcom, and especially 5.5 is a program created by committee. They did a good job, but I don't know if there is even a plan to update the current version. I don't edit them now. I just wanted to show how my custom tags come out in G55. Many programs allegedly accept some of them and a few take all of them. I have no clue which does what. I sent most of mine with no extra editting, with no complaints. Most people I deal with lately now have Legacy, so I send that way. Rich --- Stuart Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings again to all, Cathy, there is no need for you to be sorry. You have helped me and others many times. Thank you again for your contribution. Elizabeth, my destination for the Gedcoms I produce is the PhpGedView program which I use on my web site. Although it will read all Gedcoms it will, like Legacy and most other programs, ignore or create errors with tags it does not understand. It will accept most Gedcom V5.5 tags, although there are a couple of glitches. The cause of most of this is that Gedcom V5.5 is not as clearly defined as it should be. There are many areas open to interpretation by programmers trying to produce software compatible with this standard. I agree with your comments regarding avoiding the use of custom events. But referring to my earlier comments - wouldn't it be beneficial if we could create a custom event and assign a valid V5.5 tag to this event? Going on with this theme, wouldn't it be beneficial if all current events could show the tag that will be used when the event is exported? This would clarify some of the troubles I am encountering. I am not sure that your statement that Legacy exports all Gedcom tags by default is correct in respect to V5.5. If you take my examples given previously, three of the four are not exported by default. The tag NATU (a valid V5.5 tag) is exported by default, but I can see no way that I can enter a naturalisation event into Legacy. The closest I can come to is the Legacy event called Citizenship. But entering details in this event does not export with a NATU tag. Instead it exports as simply an EVEN, or simple event tag. This is possibly understandable as becoming a citizen and becoming naturalised person are not necessarily the same. Getting back to my original post, it would seem that for me to see all of the different tags generated by Legacy, I am going to have to create a special database and complete entries in all of the available data entry places including all events. I was hoping that I could avoiding this large job if someone else had done this. I believe in the concept of not re-inventing the wheel. The programmers must have a correlated list if no one else has. Thanks again Elizabeth, for your contribution, not only this time but for the prior occasions when you have responded to my call for assistance. Rich, thank you for your contributions also. I am wishing to avoid having to manually edit each of the Gedcoms as I produce them. As stated earlier, I use the Gedcom V5.5 as the basis of my data for my web site. Currently I am updating this on almost a daily basis. To manually edit a Gedcom that is now 3.5 Megs on each occasion is not desirable if possible at all. That is, ensuring each of the appropriate tags are changed in the time that I have available. I am grateful of all contributions made and I join with many others in thanking Legacy for making this list available and for the advice given by other learned users. Stuart Perth Western Australia On 12/19/06, Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry Stuart, You'll have to ask someone else. I know very little about Gedcom and currently little interest in them. I assumed since you had various tags, you had the Gedcom. If you are trying to make a Gedcom, I have no idea. I don't quite understand making a Gedcom with information you haven't entered. I'd enter some and see what happened when exporting a Gedcom if having the information included in a Gedcom was important to me. If it wasn't included, I'd enter it differently.
