Re: [LegacyUG] I've married my wife--twice!
Dennis, The Legacy User Group User Guidelines clearly state that attachments are not to be sent to the group. Please review the guidelines for future reference. A link to the guidelines is included at the end of every posting. Ron Bernier Richard, thanks for the reply. I undid the merge and supposedly restored my file to the status prior to the merge. The marriage/spouse dups are still there. Therefore, the dup issue must have been created upon the importing of my wife's file into mine, which results in duplication of everyone in the file. But I would think that then merging and searching for duplicates should undo any duplicate marriage links created by the import. I don't see any options or settings that relate to duplicate marriages during merging. I have attached a screen shot of the first manual merge person (out of 314) that comes up when I use IntelliShare. These 314 were found by the program to have differences between my file and my wife's file. You can see that the left side of the screen shows duplicate spouses (my file) and the right side shows the correct single spouse (my wife's file). The reason this person requires manual merging is because I made some corrections to the Birth and Residence location fields--the differences between the two files has nothing to do with duplicate spouses. Since I did my cleanup from the gedcom transfer in MY file, it has the most correct information regarding place and event names. So I want to be sure to keep those when I merge. However, I don't want to keep the duplicate spouses that are showing on the left (my file) side of the screen. What do I need to do to throw out the duplicate spouses created by the import of my wife's Legacy file, but at the same time keep my file maintenance changes? And why isn't this done automatically? I'm still not sure if there is something I am doing wrong or if this is a problem with the IntelliShare feature. Thank you! Dennis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Recent Modifications
Ron, Not so, unless I'm missing something.. If you edit person A, it updates the Modified Date (which shows in bottom right of Family view). If you go to another family and edit only the marriage, it affects persons B C, and it displays an updated date in the same place. However, if you do a Search (Individual, modified date, after, date) you will only result in person A. If you add the second condition (Marriage, Marr. Modified Date, after, date) you will get persons A, B, and C.

Re: [LegacyUG] Readily visible Link Proof
Dave, If you attach a source to the Father (Rel) and Mother (Rel), is there any way to make this source information show up in reports, or would one have to create an actual event, such as a Relationship event? If one uses the Father (Rel) and Mother (Rel), it would be nice if the sources attached to these would show up as sources for the Father and Mother in a FGS.

RE: [LegacyUG] photos of documents for sources
Toxanne, No there isn't. But I wouldn't bother because (a) you would loose definition by doing so as neither the gif nor the jpg are lossless and (b) if the definition is poor it will not improve it. It can be done using a variety of software of which Irfan View is just one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Readily visible Link Proof
John, Before you start, ask yourself this question: Do most of the people in your database have proved links to their parents? If so, then the ones you want to mark visibly would be the ones that have yet to be proven. So whatever recommendations you get, I would suggest you try to do it with the smaller pool of names. Some people might suggest that you not link the names of people you haven't proved descent for. Not sure how workable that is for you. If it is simply a condition that you just haven't located true sources for the people yet, but feel they are real children, then I understand more of what you are looking for. The asterisk mentioned previously might help there (maybe put it in the Title Pre. box where it could be easily added or deleted, and quickly viewed).

NOTE: The 'Individual Report' is a 1-page-to-1-person report. i.e. 500+ people means 500+ pages to print. Also CAUTION: have noticed that Legacy has a definite problem being able to handle/preview/print/generate LARGE reports. At what level I am not sure, but legacy 'hangs' generating large reports. I have 2 databases I maintain, one w/300+, and another w/ 13000+.

Anne, The zip file will normally contain the path to the pictures starting at the Root which is usually the C:/ directory.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fixing Imported Sources
Remove the gedcom from your HOME file. Create a new file (Temp) with the Gedcom. Fix the Temp at whatever pace you have. For that size it might take a few months. It took me a year (snails pace) to fix 3000 new people. Don't rush. When Temp is clean, then merging should take a few hours (much thinking) at least. Get it right the first time. I have had 3 gedcoms waiting for fixing at the same time. Don't rush. Rich --- Pat Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just imported a GEDCOM of my family tree from FTM.

Re: [LegacyUG] photos question
Well, your daughter is correct. Legacy stores the path (the location of the folder on the computer) where each picture is. You will probably need to do a Backup Multimedia Files - then restore the multimedia files on your daughters computer. I'm not sure if the Gedcom transfers the links or not Hope this helps some!

Re: [LegacyUG] photos question
Marilyn, In addition to what Heather stated, I would like to note that if your daughter has Legacy installed on her computer, you could even just bring her your Legacy family backup file and multimedia backup file, then do a Restore on your daughter's computer, and it should make it look like your computer. A few possible hiccups: Her Legacy folder is installed somewhere different than your computer stores it, so the pictures may not be found immediately. You can have Legacy look for the correct (new) photo locations. More help can be provided, as you follow these steps. Just ask!

[LegacyUG] Highly Recommend the Training Videos
I purchased the Legacy 6.0 version with manual and training videos a couple of months ago. First I read the whole manual. Then I went through the Training Video that came with the Legacy 6.0 Set up and program. Today I started on the Training Videos - and wish I had done them right away when I first put Legacy on my computer. I just fnished the first of the four videos: 12-Step Checklist to Using Legacy Family Tree. Those 12 steps answered a lot of questions that I have seen brought up in the User Group. Now I am going to go back through each step and follow it on my Legacy program. Then I will do the same with the other three training videos. I am so glad I purchased them. Just wish I had used them to begin with. Would not have so much cleaning up to do now. But, as usual, I was so eager to get my family in I neglected the learning part. Oh well, I guess that is part of the learning process also. So I would highly recommend that anyone planning on using Legacy (or already have the program) to also purchase those four training videos.

Re: [LegacyUG] Readily visible Link Proof
Hi Debbie, So long as you've chosen to include Child-Parent Relationships in the Report Options, the Sources for the Rel to Mother and Rel to Father show on a Family Group Sheet. For people where there are only sources for these, after the parent you'll find (Relationship xx, xx) where xx represents the source number. I think I may have found a bug as they still show when you choose to not include Child-Parent Relationships. However, they don't show if you have never chosen to include Child-Parent Relationships.

Re: [LegacyUG] I've married my wife--twice!
Thanks for the help Richard. I basically did what you suggested and things seem to be okay now. I did find that in some instances, even for the duplicate spouse, there were children attached and I had to unlink those children, too. I did this as long as there were also the same children showing under the non-duplicate spouse. Those stayed intact even when I unlinked the duplicate spouses and their children. I appreciate your willingness to help with this somewhat complex issue. Dennis RICHARD SCHULTHIES wrote: Find a couple with two identical marriages. Unlink the 'dup' if obvious.

Re: [LegacyUG] photos question
Marilyn: I'm an oldey also. But you are right. Legacy creates a shortcut to the photos and documents that are stored on the computer. What I do is to create a file on my desktop called Family Photos and keep my photos in there. I organize the photos by folders - usually a folder for each surname. I also have another folder called Family Documents where I keep the scanned documents I use for backup sources. Then, when I want to either give a copy to someone else or to backup onto a CD, I do the following. First I copy the Legacy Data file (which holds my family tree) to the disc. Then I copy the Family Photos folder and the Family Documents folder from the desktop to the CD. Thus, when the person gets the CD, they can copy the Data to their Legacy file and the Family Photos and the Family Documents to their desktop. That way, the photos and documents are in the same spot they are in for the data file shortcuts. Also, if your daughter is using Legacy, you don't need to use Gedcom. Just make a copy of the family file on the CD and she can enter it into her Legacy program. Just make sure your file and hers do not have the same file names. You don't want to mix and match them until everything has been checked. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Readily visible Link Proof
Thanks, Cathy! That is really neat. I've used Legacy for years and never knew that was there. It worked fine for me. I ticked the Child-Parent Relationships in the options and they showed with the sources, then I went back and unchecked Child-Parent Relationships and they didn't show. Debbie - Original Message - From: Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 6:21 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Readily visible Link Proof Hi Debbie, So long as you've chosen to include Child-Parent Relationships in the Report Options, the Sources for the Rel to Mother and Rel to Father show on a Family Group Sheet. For people where there are only sources for these, after the parent you'll find (Relationship xx, xx) where xx represents the source number. I think I may have found a bug as they still show when you choose to not include Child-Parent Relationships. However, they don't show if you have never chosen to include Child-Parent Relationships.

RE: [LegacyUG] photos question
Marilyn, Heather and Susan have given you some leads and I would not wish to complicate matters but you do not say if your photos used in Legacy are in a separate folder or scattered over various folders - if the latter you could have problems and you would be better putting them in one folder (say Legacy_pics). I am not sure but if the folder(s) is in My Documents they may still not show up on your daughter's PC as the full path includes the user name (unless, of course, your daughter has used the same user name as yourself). The advantage of having them in the same folder is that when you put them on your daughter's PC you will only have to find the one folder. BTW if you store the folder in C\Legacy then the path would normally be the same in both and no search would be necessary. If you do move your photos do not forget to back-up your multimedia files so they contain the new location.

[LegacyUG] Master Marriage Status List
Hi, I was viewing the Marriage Status list which currently has 7 items in it, one of which is Married. When I highlight the Married status from the list and click Show List, I get No records were found that use this marriage status. Now, I _know_ I have married people in my file since when I run the Marriage List report, it contains 1243 families. Marriages also seem to appear correctly in reports and in the descendant and pedigree views. 1. Why isn't the Married status linked to any of my marriage entries? 2. What are the consequences if they aren't linked? 3. What do I gain by linking the status Married to my marriages? (this is probably another way of asking #2) 4. How can I fix this so they are linked? It's interesting to note that other marriage status items like Divorce and Annulled do have linkages to people in my file as expected. It's just odd that the most common status is not linked at all. I also checked Legacy program help and it explains how to add, delete and change statuses, but doesn't really say what the purpose of theses statuses are and why they are needed. So far I'm thinking they are used only for statistical purposes. Thanks for any assistance! Dennis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Thanks Ron. I don't see how that will get me what I want. There are 1543 individuals in my Legacy file. 1160 of those individuals are related, including spouses, leaving 383 non-related. The parents I am looking for would be in that group of 383 non-related individuals.

RE: [LegacyUG] photos question
Hi Marilyn, if you are just trying to do up a Descendant report or Ancestor report and want to include the pictures in the report so they will show up in your daughter in law's computer then all you have to do is: go to reports and pick out the report you want to send or give her - go to the report options - go to Pictures tab - where it says - embed the pictures in the file, click the box. Now under the picture of the printer you will see the following 5 options - Screen/Printer, Text file, HTML file, Rich Text file, PDF file, click the Rich Text file, click create, name the file then burn the file to a disk or put it on a USB drive, it will probably be too large to e-mail.

[LegacyUG] Sourcing documents and info found on Internet sites and forums
I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind sharing their method(s) of sourcing items they have found on Internet sites, forums, etc., such as Ancestry.com or a Rootsweb,co, forum posting. I realize that information retrieved from the Internet should always be verified. For instance, say I found a forum posting on the Genealogy.com forum from a trusted source giving me the birth, marriage, and death dates of an ancestor I was researching. I would likely want to enter this into my file with a fairly low surety until I was able to verify the dates from vital records, etc. But in the mean time when I add a source for this I was thinking of setting it up like this: Source List Name: Genealogy.com Forum query Author: Person who authored the posting Title: Genealogy.com Forum Type: Online Forum Publication Facts: URL and Surname title of the specific forum where the post was made such as Allan/Allen Family Berwick, Scotland Details of Source Citation: Message 806 of 921 and date of posting Detail Text: text of the posting Does anyone see any flaws in this methodology? Can you suggest what you feel would be a better way to source this in Legacy? How about ways to source an email? If this has all been covered before, please direct me to the archives.

Re: [LegacyUG] I've married my wife--twice!
Hi Dennis, Before importing any file, you are encouraged to do a backup. Did you? If so, restore your backup and check whether the double marriages were in the file before you imported your wife's file. From the screenshot you sent (which you shouldn't have) it looks as if that is the case as the RINs are the same. The RINs for the imported file should all be higher (and it's a good idea to make them deliberately higher by 10,000 or more so you can see at a glance when merging who comes from where - if you start with say 30,001 then the end of the number is identical to the original RIN). If they're not in your file before you imported your wife's file, then it appears you've uncovered a bug in the Intellishare. However, I just tried an Intellishare merge as I haven't done on for a long while. I exported my test file to a new file, made some changes, imported it and intellishare merged. I didn't get any doubled marriages from the process. I'm assuming I've understood you correctly and you did export your wife's file from your Legacy copy of the file before she made the changes. If it wasn't done that way, then, of course, Intellishare wouldn't work. Cheers, Cathy At 03:58 PM 11/02/2007, you wrote: Richard, thanks for the reply. I undid the merge and supposedly restored my file to the status prior to the merge. The marriage/spouse dups are still there. Therefore, the dup issue must have been created upon the importing of my wife's file into mine, which results in duplication of everyone in the file. But I would think that then merging and searching for duplicates should undo any duplicate marriage links created by the import. I don't see any options or settings that relate to duplicate marriages during merging. I have attached a screen shot of the first manual merge person (out of 314) that comes up when I use IntelliShare. These 314 were found by the program to have differences between my file and my wife's file. You can see that the left side of the screen shows duplicate spouses (my file) and the right side shows the correct single spouse (my wife's file). The reason this person requires manual merging is because I made some corrections to the Birth and Residence location fields--the differences between the two files has nothing to do with duplicate spouses. Since I did my cleanup from the gedcom transfer in MY file, it has the most correct information regarding place and event names. So I want to be sure to keep those when I merge. However, I don't want to keep the duplicate spouses that are showing on the left (my file) side of the screen. What do I need to do to throw out the duplicate spouses created by the import of my wife's Legacy file, but at the same time keep my file maintenance changes? And why isn't this done automatically? I'm still not sure if there is something I am doing wrong or if this is a problem with the IntelliShare feature. Thank you! Dennis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding parents of spouses
Hi Alice, Unless you did a search for Relationship equal to Unrelated, I think your 383 are likely people unattached to your major tree - so if you can't see any of them, that's why. There isn't a way of automatically tagging the parents of those who marry in, however there is a way to include the parents of tagged people in an exported file (Legacy or Gedcom) if your concern is to export a file with them added. See the export dialogues. Cathy At 11:18 AM 12/02/2007, you wrote: Thanks Ron. I don't see how that will get me what I want. There are 1543 individuals in my Legacy file. 1160 of those individuals are related, including spouses, leaving 383 non-related. The parents I am looking for would be in that group of 383 non-related individuals. I think I will assign another tag number to the non-related group and go down the name list to try to find the matching parents. Can't think of anything else to do but eyeball it. -- Alice Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

RE: [LegacyUG] photos question
Hi Leo, That actually won't work unless in your Word Processor you do some extra steps. Yes if you tick the embed pictures in Legacy they will show in your Word processor when you open the rtf report - but if you move the original pictures they won't. They are really only linked to the file to use Word terminology and in Microsoft Word you need to go to Edit Links and choose to save the picture in the document and break the link. You can do them all at once if you highlight the list. Avoid disappointment Cathy At 11:50 AM 12/02/2007, you wrote: Hi Marilyn, if you are just trying to do up a Descendant report or Ancestor report and want to include the pictures in the report so they will show up in your daughter in law's computer then all you have to do is: go to reports and pick out the report you want to send or give her - go to the report options - go to Pictures tab - where it says - embed the pictures in the file, click the box. Now under the picture of the printer you will see the following 5 options - Screen/Printer, Text file, HTML file, Rich Text file, PDF file, click the Rich Text file, click create, name the file then burn the file to a disk or put it on a USB drive, it will probably be too large to e-mail.

Re: [LegacyUG] I've married my wife--twice!
I didn't check a back up but I did check my wife's file (the one I imported), which was a copy of my Legacy file, and the marriages weren't duplicated there--at least in the few people I looked at. But, I don't understand then why the RIN's would be the same?? I may try another test merge before we start entering a lot of new data. I spent at least 2 hours manually unlinking duplicate spouses today. I was hoping that is not the wave of the future! Great tip for assigning RIN's for a merge..that could be a big help. I'll let you know if I can 'duplicate' the duplicate problem in my next test. Thanks Dennis Cathy wrote: Hi Dennis, Before importing any file, you are encouraged to do a backup. Did you? If so, restore your backup and check whether the double marriages were in the file before you imported your wife's file. From the screenshot you sent (which you shouldn't have) it looks as if that is the case as the RINs are the same. The RINs for the imported file should all be higher (and it's a good idea to make them deliberately higher by 10,000 or more so you can see at a glance when merging who comes from where - if you start with say 30,001 then the end of the number is identical to the original RIN). If they're not in your file before you imported your wife's file, then it appears you've uncovered a bug in the Intellishare. However, I just tried an Intellishare merge as I haven't done on for a long while. I exported my test file to a new file, made some changes, imported it and intellishare merged. I didn't get any doubled marriages from the process. I'm assuming I've understood you correctly and you did export your wife's file from your Legacy copy of the file before she made the changes. If it wasn't done that way, then, of course, Intellishare wouldn't work. Cheers, Cathy At 03:58 PM 11/02/2007, you wrote: Richard, thanks for the reply. I undid the merge and supposedly restored my file to the status prior to the merge. The marriage/spouse dups are still there. Therefore, the dup issue must have been created upon the importing of my wife's file into mine, which results in duplication of everyone in the file. But I would think that then merging and searching for duplicates should undo any duplicate marriage links created by the import. I don't see any options or settings that relate to duplicate marriages during merging. I have attached a screen shot of the first manual merge person (out of 314) that comes up when I use IntelliShare. These 314 were found by the program to have differences between my file and my wife's file.

[LegacyUG] FW: Goodbye
Goodbye - have swapped to Genbox because I am at a time in my research where I need a program that tracks research projects and various failed searches etc. Have enjoyed Legacy and the helpful people on this group but find I need a program that is more research orientated, not just recording.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing documents and info found on Internet sites and forums
Not a flaw, but I put in all Source list names the combination of place, date and surname, or 2 of 3 at least. USA, CA, Los Angeles, Downey Township, 1920 France, Genealogy of the Kings of France UK, Complete Peerage, Bass-Canning [02] II I would use Genealogy.com or Rootsweb.com as the publisher/repository I am also the repository. --- Dennis Davenport [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind sharing their method(s) of sourcing items they have found on Internet sites, forums, etc., such as Ancestry.com or a Rootsweb,co, forum posting. I realize that information retrieved from the Internet should always be verified. For instance, say I found a forum posting on the Genealogy.com forum from a trusted source giving me the birth, marriage, and death dates of an ancestor I was researching. I would likely want to enter this into my file with a fairly low surety until I was able to verify the dates from vital records, etc. But in the mean time when I add a source for this I was thinking of setting it up like this: Source List Name: Genealogy.com Forum query Author: Person who authored the posting Title: Genealogy.com Forum Type: Online Forum Publication Facts: URL and Surname title of the specific forum where the post was made such as Allan/Allen Family Berwick, Scotland Details of Source Citation: Message 806 of 921 and date of posting Detail Text: text of the posting Does anyone see any flaws in this methodology? Can you suggest what you feel would be a better way to source this in Legacy? How about ways to source an email? If this has all been covered before, please direct me to the archives.
