[LegacyUG] Filing methods and family group sheets
Hi Everyone, I have been following the numerous discussions on filing systems with interest. I like the idea of the MRIN filing system but for me can see one drawback. When visiting relatives that how do you take your information with you when you don't have a laptop computer and your information is filed in different folders under the MRIN? I have been filing my family group sheets in folders according to the family line. As I am in Australia and most relatives are interested in the ancestors that arrived and the descendants down so I use the immigrants as the starting point. If the family is a large one and too much for one folder, I give each child and their family a new folder. I then file the group sheets in the order as laid out in a Descendant Report. One problem that arrises is when printing out a batch of family group sheets, they print out in alphabetical order and there is no way that I can see to change this to an order similar to the descendant report. Does any one have any suggestions or ideas. Regards Anne Eccles Scone, NSW *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

RE: [LegacyUG] GEDCOMs
Myrna, I can confirm that the create/export GEDCOM facility is working Ok wrt Ancestry but haven't tried it with Rootsweb. Unlike Cathy I put mine in C:\Legacy\Data and this causes no problems.

I'm not aware of it but can't check at present as I'm rebuilding my computer and Legacy isn't back on yet. You don't Open Gedcom files in Legacy, you import them. Could that be the problem and they are there? Or have you not actually completed the creation but Saved the Options you want thinking you were creating the Gedcom?

I just finished adding 2 more generations (data from England on Ancestry). I ran the Potential Problems report and made the needed changes until there were no more problems, ran file maintenance, saved and backed up to zip, double checked to be sure the new data was ok. THEN, I went to 'file', 'export', then exported to gedcom for Ancestry. I thought I followed all the instructions (it has been a while since I updated to Ancestry) but it would not load from within Legacy. So, I exported to GEDCOM 5.5 then went to Ancestry and tried to upload within the program. That did not work either. I tried to export to a GEDCOM 5.5 file again and open it in Legacy. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. It hung up in Legacy. I do have the latest version of Legacy. Everything seems to be working fine in the program since updating and I checked a few of the new families and they seem to be okay. I did NOT try running any reports because all I wanted to do was update my tree on Ancestry. Anyone have ANY idea what is happening to my GEDCOM files?

RE: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
With respect if Windows has to be re-installed anything on the same drive (eg C:) will be lost. The only safe way to avoid this is to partition the hard drive and keep all data in a separate partion (ie. a different drive) to programs.

If you ever have to reload windows then the My Documents folder will be overwritten or erased. I would suggest a safer approch would be to keep the data in a different folder other than My Documents. I only use the My Documents for temporary or working copies and save it to its own folder.

Firstly download the Legacy programme from the website and install it. Then you need to copy the zipped data file (I call mine 'My Family') and multimedia zipped file to where you want to keep it on your computer. Many keep them in the Data file of the Legacy Programme folder, I keep mine in a folder called Family History in My Documents. When you have put the zipped files where you want them, unzip them by right clicking on each zipped file in turn and go to 'Extract all' in the menu and left click. The files should then unzip. They will produce folders with the same name as the zipped files but with out the zip picture going through the middle of the file. All your information should be in the 'unzipped' folders and ready to use. Next run the Legacy programme. A box will probably open asking you to load a data file. If you have put your zipped and unzipped folders in the Data file of the Legacy Programme folder you should see your unzipped folder, open it and you should see your family data file. Click on it and it should load. If you have put it elsewhere on your computer you will need to find the file by navigating to it in the oblong at the top of the box. When you run the Legacy programme, if the box asking you to load a data file does not appear, go to the file menu at the top and click on open family file to make the box appear. Your data file should the open, but without any of the multimedia files/ pictures. You need to get Legacy to find the paths for these. Go to OptionsCustomize. Click on the Locations tab and then 'Test all multimedia paths', Proceed. If the multimedia files cannot be found the use the 'find them yourself' option. You will then need to navigate to them yourself. If, however you have put all your multimedia in one file, if you find one, it will find all the others for you. I hope this makes some sense. See you get on. Don't worry - remember you have your backup data on the CD if anything should go wrong. Best of luck David S Brookes Polesworth N.

RE: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
Hi Russ, I thought that if you need to reload windows you loose everything on the same drive. In practice I only keep the zipped backups in my documents. My working files (Data and Multimedia) I keep on flash drive. For a matter of interest, I keep most other documents on Zip discs, flash or CD/DVD depending on what they are and how often I need to access or alter them.

I did not try Gedcom for Legacy. Neither of the two Geds would load to Ancestry or import back to Legacy. Since my e-mail last night I have run file maintenance again and also Potential Problems report and they seem to be fine. Somewhere I have a glitch with exporting proper Gedcoms.

[LegacyUG] Marriage address (was Name of Church)
It would be great if a + button were added to the Marriage Information screen at the end of the marriage location field so that it would be consistent with the location fields for birth, christening, death, burial. Also, the notes for marriage to be consistent should likewise be under such a + button instead of showing the icon like that of general notes...and the gallery of marriage pictures could also be accessed there as well. The icons for marriage pictures and notes could remain where they are now to provide redundancy and to avoid disturbing those who use them in their current mode. Bottom line...there is no programmed place to store the marriage address like there is for birth, death, etc. If there were one, then it could be included in building a sentence about the marriage, churches and reception centers could be kept from the master location list, etc. Ron Taylor *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Sources
Ralf, Since I am basically lazy :-)) I use ONE master source and make the changes for each one on the source detail. It is easy when you are using the FreeBMD records from England and Canada. With the US records I record it as Death Certificates - Texas (or Florida or whatever) and give the location of the state archives. Then in source detail I put the certificate # with the city, county, etc. The birth certificates and marriages are done the same way. So for the US I would have a maximum of 50 entries for Death Certificates or Marriage Certificates or Birth Certificates and the source details are attached to the individual. That is how I do it and as usual there are MANY ways. Let's see how many more the list comes up with. Myrna *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Hello Listers, As an update to my Gedcom problem - I did not solve the problem of loading the file through Ancestry but did get it to load through Legacy. When I went to 'file' then 'Upload to Ancestry Online Family Tree...' then created the gedcom file and Legacy uploaded to Ancestry. It worked!

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Sources
Ralf, My method is similar to Myrna's. I prefer to have only six master sources for the basic information: Certificate/Record - Baptism Certificate/Record - Birth Certificate/Record - Confirmation Certificate/Record - Death Certificate/Record - Divorce Certificate/Record - Marriage In my Source Detail Notes is where I get more specific, so future researchers could locate the same source if they wanted to. These are some examples: City of Lowell Vital Records - Birth 1893 book L, p. 67, no. 2511 - [Crowley, (Female)] Pollard Memorial Library, Lowell, MA; viewed microfiche 10 May 2005 MA Vital Records Lowell Year 1850 Vol. 49 Page 69 No. 191 [O'Neal Ellen] original record viewed online; www.newenglandancestors.org Leo P Cooke 26 Dec 1986 - Florida Death Index, 1936-1998. [database online] Original data: 1877-1998 Florida Health Department, Office of Vital Records, 1998. Ancestry.com. Murphy, William L. d 8 Oct 1975; Woburn, MA Town Clerk copy 17 Nov 1987 O'Neil, Martin William d. 20 Jul 1951; Rhode Island State Dept. of Health copy 28 Jul 1951 on microfilm accessed at Providence, RI State Archives (by [volunteer's name] on 22 Feb 2006). Note what Cathy said - she likes to be able to see who else may have also had the same source (this is accomplished by clicking on Show List). In my example, the Show List would be a worthless exercise - except to see how few are the people I have divorce or confirmation records for. So you will want to decide if you will think it is important to see how many B/M/D records you got from, for example, the state of Texas (Myrna's example) or the GRO. Or you might decide you don't think you'll ever do that, and prefer to keep your Master Sources List short.

It is easy when you are using the FreeBMD records from England and Canada. With the US records I record it as Death Certificates - Texas (or Florida or whatever) and give the location of the state archives. Then in source detail I put the certificate # with the city, county, etc. The birth certificates and marriages are done the same way. So for the US I would have a maximum of 50 entries for Death Certificates or Marriage Certificates or Birth Certificates and the source details are attached to the individual. That is how I do it and as usual there are MANY ways. Let's see how many more the list comes up with. Myrna *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Re: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
David, See my earlier post. If you do a custom install you can reinstall window but keep the directory structure intact so the only directory you are reloading is the Windows directory but since MyDocuments is a windows subdirectory you will lose that data. However, you will still need to reload you programs and once the programs are reloaded you can tell the program where your data is located.

Re: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
Ron, This happened to me but, I have reinstalled windows with the option to keep the directory system intact so even though I reloaded windows my data was still intact in the other folders, however the documents that I had in MyDocuments folder was not recoverable. Once I reloaded windows and reinstalled the programs I was able to utilize the data that was in their own directory folders and not the MyDocuments folder. Just relaying what I found when it happened to me so. I allways keep important files in their own directory other than a windows system folder. I also have an external hard drive and a laptop. I backup to C: then use Windows SyncToy to syncronize my genealogy folder, my email, and my financial data to the external drive so what is on the external drive. Then I use SyncToy on my laptop to syncronize the laptop with the external drive. So I have at least 3 copies of my genealogy file incase of a major catastrophic hard drive crash. My external drive is 300 G and is attached to my PC and my home network and I have partitioned it 3 ways. D: is partitioned as the data drive that I sync to. E: partitioned as the System backup drive of my PC and F: is partitioned as the System backup of my laptop run through the network.

Click on it and it should load. If you have put it elsewhere on your computer you will need to find the file by navigating to it in the oblong at the top of the box. When you run the Legacy programme, if the box asking you to load a data file does not appear, go to the file menu at the top and click on open family file to make the box appear. Your data file should the open, but without any of the multimedia files/ pictures. You need to get Legacy to find the paths for these. Go to OptionsCustomize. Click on the Locations tab and then 'Test all multimedia paths', Proceed. If the multimedia files cannot be found the use the 'find them yourself' option. You will then need to navigate to them yourself. If, however you have put all your multimedia in one file, if you find one, it will find all the others for you. I hope this makes some sense. See you get on. Don't worry - remember you have your backup data on the CD if anything should go wrong. Best of luck David S Brookes Polesworth N.

[LegacyUG] Notes bug - adding extra space when pasting text
I found a little bug today - I am adding a bunch of notes to the Research tab of a relative and placing them in the [[privacy brackets]]. When I copy and paste something into the double brackets, click on save, and return to the notes, a space has been added before the [[ at the beginning of the line. I checked and there were no extra spaces in the line above. I am pasting large formatted text into the line, closing it, and reopening it to find it in the standard small Legacy text font that I use for notes. This is part of what is in my research notes: [[Irish Flax Growers, 1796 - Dogherty James Cloone Leitrim]] [[Griffiths Valuation of Ireland - xx Doherty Peter Drumharkan Glebe Cloone Leitrim Doherty Michael Drumharkan Glebe Cloone Leitrim Doherty John Drumharkan Glebe Cloone Leitrim Doherty James Sunnagh Beg Cloone Leitrim Doherty Eliza Drumharkan Glebe Cloone Leitrim]] Where I have the xx above, insert the first line that says Griffiths Valuation of Ireland from the web site http://www.failteromhat.com/post1845.php . Save the Notes then reopen them. An extra space appears before the [[ in that line. (It also happened when I copied the header Irish Flax Growers, 1796 from another similar web site to the line above.) Can anyone reproduce or explain?

RE: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
Russ, I do not doubt your experience but bear in mind that there are various versions of Windows XP. Not only is there the Home and Pro versions but also the full and OEM. Mine for example is the Home OEM. I am aware that one version (I think it is XP Pro) has a repair option which is not available on other versions and certainly not on OEM versions. For all I know there may be variations from country to country as well. On the Version I have I do not have the option to repair nor the option keep the directory system intact. As I would imagine most people have the OEM version it is much safer to assume that nothing will survive a reinstallation of Windows. Although I keep backups on my HD I also regularly back-up to CD of all important files for extra safety.

Re: [LegacyUG] Filing methods and family group sheets
Hi Anne, I use three ring binders for each family or family line and within the binder I use the MRIN filing system. I have an alphabetical index for that family or families at the beginning of each binder so I can quickly find who I am looking for. Then I start each MRIN file with a family group sheet. It works for me. Walt DeWaele from snowy Colorado Hi Everyone, I have been following the numerous discussions on filing systems with interest. I like the idea of the MRIN filing system but for me can see one drawback. When visiting relatives that how do you take your information with you when you don't have a laptop computer and your information is filed in different folders under the MRIN? I have been filing my family group sheets in folders according to the family line. As I am in Australia and most relatives are interested in the ancestors that arrived and the descendants down so I use the immigrants as the starting point. If the family is a large one and too much for one folder, I give each child and their family a new folder. I then file the group sheets in the order as laid out in a Descendant Report. One problem that arrises is when printing out a batch of family group sheets, they print out in alphabetical order and there is no way that I can see to change this to an order similar to the descendant report. Does any one have any suggestions or ideas. Regards Anne Eccles Scone, NSW *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

[LegacyUG] CDs and Gedcoms and Passage Express
Hi Listers I'm trying in the midst of creating a CD for sending out to relatives, knew I'd not make it before Xmas so have been busy all through my holidays. I've got reports and gedcom files I've created from Legacy that I want to import into Passage Express the create a CD. How are the gedcom files accessed again through the CD? Can they be used from the CD or do I need to add GenViewer? Cheers Tracy *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Hi Listers Just an update, it seems when my source settings may be causing some interference. I've tried different settings, but I still intermittently appear on the Descendant Narrative report.

RE: [LegacyUG] Name of Church - should be Restoring Zipped Files
Roger, The point I was trying to make was two fold: a) That Windows varies depending on it's type and for most people it cannot be taken for granted that on reinstallation one will be able to retain files not in My Documents. b) It is therefore essential to have additional back-ups, certainly not in the same directory and, much better, not on the hard drive. The mentioning of the repair function was rather an aside, but again whether this is available or not varies. Dell almost certainly can do a better deal than a smaller manufacturer for example. As I said, I know my version of OEM XP Home does not have it.

The installation CD provides a repair option and I have used it successfully with no problem. However, I second the suggestion re external backups. I image my hard drives to an external USB drive. I only connect it to my PC when imaging.

Re: [LegacyUG] CDs and Gedcoms and Passage Express
Tracey, Passage Express cannot open GEDcom files natively - it needs GENViewer. Go to the Options menu in Passage Express and then click on File Readers. You should see GENViewer Lite listed as the reader for GEDcom files. If not simply click the Add button, navigate to where it is on your computer and add it. When you create the CD or DVD GENViewer Lite should then automatically be included on the CD.

RE: [LegacyUG] Decendant narrative report missing spouse (start person)
Tracy, It is necessary for you to ensure that in all cases Incude Spouses is checked. Otherwise in descendant reports of your husband's line, as you are not a descendant of that line, you will not appear. It is not sexist btw as your husband will not appear in the descendant report of your line unless specified.

Doesn't matter if I select/deselect pictures, I still don't appear in the main report, only as an index entry. The weird part is that I am included in html and txt versions of Descendant Narrative reports. Sometimes, Legacy won't even put in any marriages for the Descendant Narrative report, then I go close it down and delete the USR files, run check/repair, even then intermittently I don't appear in the rtf, pdf and screen/printer versions of the report. Glad that I can still use html.

Re: [LegacyUG] Filing methods and family group sheets
Hi Walt, Do you keep your family lines separate in Legacy or do you have them in one file? In printing group sheets there is the option to print them in MRIN's but only for the entire family file. There does not seem to be a way of printing a focus group (say descendants) in MRIN order. regards Anne - Original Message - From: WALT ALICE DE*WAELE I use three ring binders for each family or family line and within the binder I use the MRIN filing system. I have an alphabetical index for that family or families at the beginning of each binder so I can quickly find who I am looking for. Then I start each MRIN file with a family group sheet. It works for me. Walt DeWaele from snowy Colorado I have been filing my family group sheets in folders according to the family line. If the family is a large one and too much for one folder, I give each child and their family a new folder. I then file the group sheets in the order as laid out in a Descendant Report. One problem that arrises is when printing out a batch of family group sheets, they print out in alphabetical order and there is no way that I can see to change this to an order similar to the descendant report. Does any one have any suggestions or ideas. Regards Anne Eccles Scone, NSW *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

[LegacyUG] SINGLE NAMES
Hi Listers; What is the accepted way of entering the name of an individual who oly has one name? I do not mean that the given name is unknown, but that he has only one name. I am speaking not only of historical characters such as Moses, but contemporary people with only one name, such as a businessman in Arizona whose only name is Nelson. That is what is on his business card and how he introduces his self. Art Seddon *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
