Re: [LegacyUG] Help needed
Hi Sandy To transfer the information between computers I'd find it easiest to backup the Legacy file using both the filename and date, when you are finished using the main computer. Save the backup file onto something that you can read through your second computer (eg usb stick/thumb drive, cd/dvd), then on the second computer open Legacy and restore the file you've just backed up. That will keep the information the same on both computers. Cheers Tracy Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

RE: [LegacyUG] Slave Holder Information
Robert, I beg to differ with you on the lack of documents that name slaves. On the 1850 and 1860 slave schedules, sometimes the names of slaves were mentioned although they were not supposed to be unless the slave was 100 years old or more. Also wills are filled with the names of slaves and who they were willed to. For those who are researching their African-American heritage, wills and estate records are a great way to track slave ownership within a family. Many times a father will leave slaves to his children and these people are listed by name. Emancipations are listed as well. The will tells you the deceased wishes, and the estate and probate records will detail how the estate was actually settled. This can also be a good way to locate the origins of slaves, as part of the estate's inventory may be record books of purchases if the estate was large. You would of course cite your sources as to the will and the estate/probate records. You can use Legacy to track slave owners as either events, and I would tag everyone who had the same slave owner for ease of reporting, or you could go another route and list the slaves as *children* of the slave owner [as well as link those children to their rightful parents]. However, list the relationship to the father/mother as a custom relationship called slave. Linda Altman http://www.southerngenealogy.com Southern Genealogy uses Legacy Family Tree!

Re: [LegacyUG] digitized articles and books
I interpret your query to mean that you want to be able to go to a SINGLE source/search engine, enter the name of a book and, if that book is digitized and available online somewhere, get a response so indicating. Unfortunately, you cannot do so. Some digitized books can be located at http://books.google.com and the list is growing daily. However, many digitized books can only be located and accessed through databases/catalogs that are not searched by Google or other search engines. Examples are PERSI, the Family History Archive at Brigham Young University, University of Michigan Digital Library, Cornell University Library Windows on the Past, Godfrey Memorial Library and, I am sure, many more. And, it is surprising to me that Cyndi's List does not have a section containing links to sites providing access to digitized books (or did I miss it?)

No need to restore from one computer to the other, or worrying that I forgot to do that. I just move the USB drive to the comuter I am using, and my main file is there without any additional action.

[LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
In my database is a male that was married three times. He has children by both his first and second wives. Somehow I have duplicated the names of the children and would like to get this cleaned up. I can't merge the children because while their names are duplicated and their father is the same for both duplications, their mother is different. I can't delete on of the duplicate names as the delete removes the one chosen to delete from both parents, not just one. I'm stumped! Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children. Look for the parent icon. Does it have more than a 1 in a box? Click on the parent icon. Does it show more than one set? Highlight the incorrect parent set, if it is there, and select Unlink from Child. You probably don't have two records for the child, you probably just linked them twice. I hope this works for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Let's see if I can explain this better. I think I have multiple problems. Joseph married three times by his 1st wife Elen, he had only one child, Ann by his second wife Sarah, he had two more, David and Thomas I entered Ann as the daughter of Joseph and his first wife correctly. Then, somehow I also entered the two boys as sons of Joseph and his first wife. I need to remove them and only have the two boys show up under Joseph and his 2nd wife. The two boys are also doubled under the first wife - once as if they are natural sons of Joseph and Ann, once as if they are natural to Joseph, step to Elen. When I switch to the 2nd wife, Sarah, Ann shows as a 1/2 (correct), but I have one set of sons, Thomas and David as natural to both Joseph and the 2nd wife (correct) and a repeat set as natural to Joseph and 1/2 to Elen (incorrect).

Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife (correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife. When I right click on them under the father and 1st wife, neither show up on the Children's setting, just the daughter which should be there. I checked both boys to see if they each have duplicates. That problem is corrected. It is the same two individuals showing up as children for the father and 1st wife and the father and 2nd wife. They are children of the father and 2nd wife only (the 1st wife was dead). I don't think the program is supposed to be showing these two boys as 1/2s of the dead wife. But I can't make it stop doing that. - Original Message - From: Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Hi Pat, Not sure if this will help.

RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Let's see if I can help I think if you open up the family that is technically incorrect ie correct father, incorrect mother and two sons. I believe the simplest way is to initially 'unlink' the incorrect mother/wife from the husband. i.e rightclick wife and click 'unlink' from husband - this is only temporary - the sons will stay with the husband, and hopefully still with their original mother. Then you will have the father only showing one named wife, but also showing the father with an 'unknown' person as mother of the first daughter. If you click on that 'unknown' wife/mother you should then be offered to 'add a new person or 'link to existing person' and the little box 'add this person to the currently displayed marriage needs to be checked. You should select Link to an existing person and then you can reattach wife #1 only to the husband and daughter #1. Hope that isnt' too complicated.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hi Pat, When showing 1/2 kids in Legacy Family View, this can be confusing as we expect that it will show real relationships only. However, it shows any children who are the child of one of the parents in the parent position. If the boys are showing as 1/2's under the father and 1st wife, that's just the way the display is in Legacy Family View when you've chosen to show 1/2 kids. If they are showing as full children, then you have them linked twice and you need to follow the instructions you've been given to unlink them. When you run reports, they'll appear correctly, so they won't be in the child list for father and 1st wife. Hope that clarifies, Cathy At 07:10 AM 13/04/2007, you wrote: Hmmm.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Pat, For what it's worth I have never been able to stop Legacy showing a second or third family's children as 1/2 children to the first marriage, and I hate to think how many times I've tried. I no longer bother about it. If it's any consolation this does not show in reports and web pages.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hi Pat, Family View IS NOT a Family Group Sheet OR a living together in a household sheet. It gives clues to both those things. You just need to learn what Legacy means by 1/2 on the Family View in order to interpret the wealth of information that we have access to on the Family View. It's your choice how much information is available to you - for example, whether you show 1/2 kids or not. If you can't train yourself to recognise what is meant by the 1/2, then by all means leave it turned off. But if you start linking daughter's in again because they are no longer showing because she is the daughter of a previous marriage, you'll mess up reports. The only time you'd do that was if she was formally adopted by the second wife and then you'd note that in the Child-Parent Relationships. Cheers, Cathy At 08:01 AM 13/04/2007, you wrote: Anne, that did it! The 1/2s disappeared. Now, the daughter is still living with the father when he remarries; to get her to show up as living with them, do I just add her again to that marriage or is there a better way?

I no longer bother about it. If it's any consolation this does not show in reports and web pages.

So that they appear with no parents at all. - Original Message - From: Pat Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 9:10 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife (correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife. When I right click on them under the father and 1st wife, neither show up on the Children's setting, just the daughter which should be there. I checked both boys to see if they each have duplicates. That problem is corrected. It is the same two individuals showing up as children for the father and 1st wife and the father and 2nd wife. They are children of the father and 2nd wife only (the 1st wife was dead). I don't think the program is supposed to be showing these two boys as 1/2s of the dead wife. But I can't make it stop doing that. - Original Message - From: Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Hi Pat, Not sure if this will help. But I would unlink the child from the parents (may need to be unlinked more than once) and then when you have correct father and mother on the screen add the child back in. Hope this helps.

I think I have multiple problems. Joseph married three times by his 1st wife Elen, he had only one child, Ann by his second wife Sarah, he had two more, David and Thomas I entered Ann as the daughter of Joseph and his first wife correctly. Then, somehow I also entered the two boys as sons of Joseph and his first wife. I need to remove them and only have the two boys show up under Joseph and his 2nd wife. The two boys are also doubled under the first wife - once as if they are natural sons of Joseph and Ann, once as if they are natural to Joseph, step to Elen. When I switch to the 2nd wife, Sarah, Ann shows as a 1/2 (correct), but I have one set of sons, Thomas and David as natural to both Joseph and the 2nd wife (correct) and a repeat set as natural to Joseph and 1/2 to Elen (incorrect). I'm not at all certain how to clean up this mess. - Original Message - From: Susan Daily [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children. Look for the parent icon. Does it have more than a 1 in a box? Click on the parent icon. Does it show more than one set? Highlight the incorrect parent set, if it is there, and select Unlink from Child. You probably don't have two records for the child, you probably just linked them twice. I hope this works for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help needed
I like to see what other people do. I'd like to use a usb stick but my 4yo daughter thinks they are nice toys and I wouldn't be guaranteed any quality with the data because she takes them away from the computer area. Pretty good option for those who can use it. Cheers Tracy Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

Re: [LegacyUG] Charting recommendations
Mel, I've used Legacy Charting Companion and TreeDraw for Legacy. I like them both for different reasons, but as single programs go they don't provide everything I'd like to see. As a suggestion, work out what you'd like to see and check out different programs that will provide what you are looking for. Cheers Tracy Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
