Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing documents and info found on Internet sites and forums
Thank you Michele and Susan for responding. I've gotten a good cross-section of ways to source these items. It's been very helpful. Dennis Michele Lewis wrote: I too like as few sources as possible. I have a similar system as was already posted Certificate/Record - Baptism Certificate/Record - Birth Certificate/Record - Confirmation Certificate/Record - Death Certificate/Record - Divorce Certificate/Record - Marriage I have major web sites as their own source such as Ancestry.com.

In addition to others, I have six basic master sources called: Certificate/Record - Baptism Certificate/Record - Birth Certificate/Record - Confirmation Certificate/Record - Death Certificate/Record - Divorce Certificate/Record - Marriage I might use one of these and in the Source Detail list something like: Email KILKENNEY from Bill Surname to Susan Daily dated Oct 31, 2006 8:35 PM. I then place the entire body of the email into the Detail Text tab. or instead, I will use the master source of Person - William Bill Surname and the detail of Email Re: Presset St. Toledo OH - Kilkenny connection dated Dec 22, 2006 3:57 PM. and place the email into the Detail Text tab. For posts, I tend to use the master source of Internet Web Site and the detail of Rootsweb Leitrim Message Board post Re: Parochial registers of Cloone, 1820-1927, Diocese of Ardagh by James Surname dated 11 Feb 2006 7:39 PM GMT (Posted at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5298...) and I copy the entire post into the Detail Text tab. You might think about using this last option, but changing the master source from Internet Web Site to more specific ones like Rootsweb.com Message Board Post. I have been more specific in my Master Source naming when I downloaded a GEDCOM from Rootsweb's WorldConnect and exchanged correspondance with the owner who told me where she obtained her information. In that case I used the Master Source title of GEDCOM - McGovernNY by Patricia Surname, her name as the author, the title of the GEDCOM as the title, the type as GEDCOM, and under publication noted the last update date, and the URL location of the tree. My philosophy is a more easily managed (i.e. shorter) Master Source List.

Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting RINs and starting over
Thanks Jenny - now I know! Michele, I do agree with the others. Frankly your best bet, if you don't like the gaps in the RINS, is simply to renumber and forget about their order as in the long term you cannot reasonably control this. If you wish to have a reference to suit your taste I suggest that you use the USER ID which you can display in the Event box on the Family Display should you wish and include in rports etc. Ron Ferguson _ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/ *New Blog* - Improve Colour Photos with The GIMP Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/Grimshaw/ __ From: Jenny M Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting RINs and starting over Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 09:20:04 + ronald ferguson wrote I was aware of that possibility but I took it that Michele wanted to change the start person, I was/am uncertain, however, whether then a renumbering would give the new person #1 and like I said, I cannot check this.

[LegacyUG] Photo Question
I responded earlier that I could transferr pictures by using the Rich Text File (TGF) this was incorrect information and for this I apologize. I should have referred to the PDF File instead, by using the PDF file you can send pictures by e-mail (if it is not too large) or you can transfer the file to another computer by using a USB drive.

Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting RINs and starting over
Seems like the easiest way to renumber within a file would be to renumber starting with something high (10001 for instance) ... when that is completed, renumber again starting with 1 ... of course, I'm ignoring any need/attempt to get any specific numbers assigned to individuals. Try it first on a test file copied from your live file. Bob Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

Good morning; My son give me the Legacy6.0 program to use for my genealogy research. I have been at it for a year or so and I got quite a bit of info from different places ...friends ..relatives ..web sites ..etc. My info is stored in a folder in my documents. I wonder if I can transfer it all ..parts into the new program (legacy). Reading the help section it says that I can import a Gedcom or PAF files. I try both but it does not work ? May be you can tell me how to a make a GEDCOM from my info ?... Or is there a way to transfer my files into legacy without having to do it by each name. ?.. Thanks Jude Heon attachment: 608-1041A.jpg

Jude, Other than saying that your info is stored in My Documents you do not say how it is stored. Unless it is stored in a database which can generate a Gedcom your only way would seem to be on an individual basis. We may be able to make suggestions if you tell us exactly how it is stored.

Re: [LegacyUG] New user
Jude Heon wrote I have been at it for a year or so and I got quite a bit of info from different places ...friends ..relatives ..web sites ..etc. My info is stored in a folder in my documents. In what format is your data currently stored? Is it wordprocessing documents, database, spreadsheet, several different formats? If you have it in another genealogy program, (such as Family Tree Maker, for example) you can export it as a GEDCOM (which is a specialised type of text file which is fairly standardised so it is readable by all genealogy programs) and import the GEDCOM into Legacy. Otherwise, you will need to type it into Legacy. Think carefully before you start about how you want to enter Events (how you will enter Census information, for example) and how you will enter Source information. It is so much easier if you get this right before you start, rather than change your mind when you have a few hundred people in your Family File.

[LegacyUG] Publishing Center suggestion ...
The Publishing Center is terrific ... but I have a suggestion that would make it even better. When outputting to/for a black/white printer, Legacy suggests converting photos to grayscale. I agree, but it can be an arduous task ... I copy all the photos in C:/Legacy/Pictures to C:/Legacy/Pictures_GS. Then I use Irfanview (free and good) to batch convert the entire folder to grayscale. Next, I set the Publishing Center path to the new folder and have it find all pictures ... since the names are the same, it's quick and easy from that point. But wouldn't it be nice to have a tick box in the Publishing Center for Convert all pictures to grayscale? Legacy could then convert each picture as it is queued up for printing ... leaving the original pictures in place and unchanged ... with no need for another folder or changing folder paths.

Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting RINs and starting over
Another way to change RINs, if you are insistent, would be to use the side-by-side view, create a new database, and drag and drop the close relatives into the new file, then arrange the RIN numbers to suit yourself in that small database. After you get the few correct, then import the rest of the data into higher numbers that you don't care about. Legacy has so many ways to do things that you just have to look around.

RE: [LegacyUG] New user
Hello Jude: Your son must be a smart guy to make such a good choice of genealogy programs. I assume that your genealogy data is in some sort of file like Word or perhaps Excel. If that's the case, it's not possible to create a GEDCOM. You can only make a GEDCOM from a genealogy software program. I'm afraid you will have to manually re-enter your data into Legacy. That's not really as terrible as it seems because in the process you will be doing a good review of your data and probably finding things to clean up, clarify or correct. And I'm sure you will be very pleased with the results once the transfer is done. Good luck with your project! By the way, many people on this mailing list have dial-up connections to the Internet and receiving messages in HTML, especially with images included, causes them major problems. Others are very concerned about viruses and other nasties that can be included with HTML messages. It would be best if you could send your messages to the list in plain text.

That can be very time consuming. I'm seeking a readily visible or one click way to see this as I move thru the screens. Any suggestions? Regards, John Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Indiviual Report and Marriage Events
In a previous email, sorry at the time it wasn't an issue so didn't save it, it was mentioned marriage events will not appear on individual reports. I shrugged it off. After a little more thought it occurred to me I've been putting addresses in marriage events when the addresses applied to both husband and wife. I realize an Individual Report is an 'Individual' Report. However, doesn't marriage information also apply to each 'Individual'?? It would seem appropriate to include marriage information to have a complete record of events affecting each individual on the Individual Report. I suppose the consequence is then having duplicate information on the Individual Reports for both husband and wife. But I'd rather that than not have the information on either. Thoughts? Work arounds (other than not using marriage events for information I'd like appearing on Individual Reports)?? Thanks Gary Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN
Hi, John If husband and wife are both the same - are they truly identical, i.e. do they have same RINs? If so, it's the same couple, but they have been linked/married twice. Look at the couple in the family view. Does the spouse icon under each person show 2? Click on the husband's icon to open the Spouse List. If you see the same wife listed twice, select the unwanted marriage and Unlink to remove the unwanted MRIN. I see you are wise and always have your backup to hand g Regards, Mary Young, Edinburgh, Scotland Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN
Dear John Apologies for wrong advice in my last mail. Rather than Unlink I should have said SELECT and DELETE the unwanted marriage. thus - Click on the husband's icon to open the Spouse List.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting Data By Date Entered?
Hm - good question! I did a bit of playing and couldn't find it - you seem to be limited by what you can sort on and I didn't see a good report either to do it that way. But thanks, I hadn't realized that was one of the items I could add to the index - but I agree it would be more useful if you could sort by it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Indiviual Report and Marriage Events
That's a very interesting point, Gary. I'm a new user and was somewhat surprised about how the marriage information was so segregated from everything else. It surprised me that marriage events are not included in the Events/Facts portion of the Individual's Information screen. I guess one can go to the Chronology View to see all the events for a person. But it is still kind of odd. Marriage and divorce should probably be just another event like occupation and graduation. This doesn't speak to your exact report issue but it is related I think.

[LegacyUG] Intellishare ID
Hello I migrated to Legacy from inferior programs, tested the free version for a year and switched to de luxe a couple of years back, now running 6.0.0.110. I'm still learning about Legacy and need to know more about Intellishare. According to the Help documentation, Legacy automatically marks all the records in the Master Family File with a serial number that uniquely identifies each individual. The wording suggests that it's a separate identifier than the RIN. If so, how does it behave in a merge if the Intellishare IDs are different? How is uniqueness guaranteed? kb Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

Re: [LegacyUG] Intellishare ID
On this same subject, how does intellishare work? I have seen the Intellishare code, so I know all individuals have it, but how do you implement a merge? Does it automatically happen when you import an intellishare file back into the original? Does it work something like the automerge box in the merge screen?

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN
Hello, please can you explain if I can either delete or merge husband and wife on the mrin list. I have two persons listed(husband /wife ) who are bith the same but I can't seem to be able to merge them, and if I delete one it deletes both and I have to revert to my backup again? If the couple are joined by two marriages, then unlink is the proper procedure. If you delete one person, both will be gone. (I just deleted by mistake, and have not been able to find who I deleted.) Unlinking will lose the marriage information, so if one marriage has good information and the other is sketchy, unlink the sketchy one.

[LegacyUG] Filling in the gaps in RINs
There is a very easy way to fill in gaps in RIN #s. The Legacy Home Statistics will give you the total Individuals in your db. If you look in Name List sorted by RIN # and click Last to find highest RIN used and it is much higher than total Individuals just tag all with higher RIN than total Individuals, export to temp db, reimport the temps they will fill in all the gaps. Then a simple automatic Intellimerge will remove the higher RINs. Be sure to do a check / repair afterward to clear the orphaned source citations. Richard Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Intellishare ID
The Intellishare # is 32 characters long, each character has 36 alphanumeric possibilities. It is randomly generated when you create a new record. Intellishare works it's miracle merge if you give your database to a cousin or any other relative and when the other person has modified or added to your data he returns it to you to remerge. When you Intellimerge his file back into yours any individuals unchanged by either of you can be automatically merged with no intervention. If he (or yourself) corrected or altered any fields they will all show up side by side, you decide which version to accept. If your cousin were to overwrite his name over yours he and you would have same Intellishare # but the merge would only offer the chance to merge which you would refuse.
