Re: [LegacyUG] Individual events vs marriage events
Ron, I probably should not have used the term correlation. My goal is to have my father's Individual Events listed chronologically so that when I see an Employment Event, I can look above it until I see a Residence Event to see where he was living when he took that job. Or to see how many times he moved while at the same job. I have decided to try the solution offered by Susan Daily. I have therefore moved (actually copied) all the Residence Events from his marriage to his individual area. That accomplishes my goal, but leaves me wondering if I want to do that with my mother as well (they moved a LOT). Thanks for your concern and for all your many responses on this forum.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing Sources
Moira, You can't do that (add a prefix) to the incoming source. The best thing for you to do is perhaps import this to a new family file, work with the master source list, fixing it as you'd like, and then import that into your main family file. Some purists, of course, will tell you that the source is the GEDCOM (unless that GEDCOM was done by you), rather than the sources to the data, which you haven't seen presumably. I make no such judgement calls for other people. When I imported a GEDCOM from Worldconnect, after emailing the author and talking about the tree, I imported it into a separate file, cleaned up the data, then imported it into my file but with the author and her WorldConnect tree as my source. I added some of our email discussions as other sources and notes. Sorry this isn't the answer you were looking for.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing Sources
Another possible solution would be to edit the gedcom file itself prior to importing. Use a text editor (I use UltraEdit but if it isn't too big, even NotePad would work) to open the import GED file. The gedcom file uses a tagged interface format (each piece of data has a tag. Locate the source tag (if I remember correctly it is SOUR) and see what the values look like. For a generic import, they should be readable text. Using a global search and replace (be sure to save a protected copy - this can have unanticipated results), replace the tag and following space SOUR with a replacement tag and space and source prefix SOUR AdamSmithGEDCOM - If all goes well, every source in the file will now have the prefix attached.

Hello Everyone, Sorry. I am foggy headed today. I think I created a focus group of a small part of my Legacy Deluxe file. It is Mary Ellen, i.e. the wives family, i.e. parents, step mothers, siblings, etc. I then created a GEDCOM file from the focus group in my Legacy Deluxe files. I then tried to open the GEDCOM to take a closer look for editing purposes, and to add more details before I uploaded it to the web. For some reason the program, Legacy would not allow me to open the GEDCOM file without changing it to a Legacy Deluxe File. Is that not possible, if not how does one view a GEDCOM file for editing purposes without changing it back to a Legacy Deluxe file? Thanks, Debbie Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Generational List or Report??
Hello Apologies if this issue has already been addressed in the archives but I couldn't see that it had. I have been trying to figure out a way for Legacy to generate a list (via query or report) that shows all the individuals of a particular generation or failing that a list of all individuals in the file grouped/sorted by generation. It would be nice to also have included in that list the birthdates of individuals. The closest I've come is scrolling through a descendant list and transcribing into a text or doc file as I work my way through the 12 (and counting) generations I have so far. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you, Sandra Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing Sources
I create the Source List Name in my style, put the transcription in the text, with the additional info as to where 'I' got it, and state if an attempt will be done to further verify it. Example, a census can be found elsewhere, but a handwritten original document can only be found at one place. I use the sender as the original source, or if I have a photocopy, I (my file drawer) am now the repository. Put the 'genealogy' of ownership in the comments section. The important thought is, make sure credit is given for the sender for all sent/recieved, and explain any changes done to the same. I calcuate all ages/dates outside of the transcription, but add to the bottom.

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM - confused
If I am getting the idea you want, it is to A. create a ged-com, B. edit it, then C. send it through the Legacy program. You need to edit the database file before creating the G. After, you can use a Word program to edit the G. and then send it as a regular documnet. If the additions would be appropriate to add the the individual notes fields permanantly, that may be the ticket. I hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] Weak print
Just want to see if anyone has had this problem and if someone might have a fix. I had to replace my hard drive and lost many files. However, I still had good files from a previous genealogy program. I loaded these files onto the old program and everything looks fine. I exported by GEDCOM from this older program into Legacy 6.0 Deluxe. All the information went OK, but all the small type stuff looks a little weak and shaky. If I type new info in, it also doesn't look quite right. Any ideas?

Then to see how we're related, I can use the Relationship calculator to determine the common ancestor. I also have additional columns set with different information that don't show unless I move the slider bar at the bottom of the window. If the columns need to be resized for width, position your cursor on the little line that separates each column in the column header. When it locks onto the line, your cursor will change to what resembles (somewhat) a little + sign. When this occurs, you can drag the little line, which will narrow or widen a specific column. This will allow you to set the columns to display as much information as you wish for each column in view.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Tip: Sharing Legacy Reports via PDF
I like using the pdf function in sharing with relatives because most people can't change MY reports. The average computer user only has Adobe Reader installed and have no way of making changes to my pdf reports. I liked the article because he is correct in stating that the pdf format for Legacy reports keeps a certain professionalism about the reports that should be visible if a person wants his/her reports and data to look creditable. I often attach reports the way he describes. It comes by way of habit when using Microsoft Outlook and the various Microsoft Office products as they are all interrelated which also helps me keep organized in ways that Legacy doesn't.

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM - confused
Hi Debbie, it really depends what you mean by for editing purposes and how much you understand Gedcoms. As you've been told, they're text files so you can open them in Notepad or any Word Processor. If you use a Word Processor, make sure you resave in text format. Also check that the file extension is still .ged and not .txt If you just want to view the Gedcom, you either open in Legacy as a new Legacy file - and you can check that it included what you wanted and excluded what you wanted. If other editing is required, you can do it in a familiar environment and then export the whole new Legacy file as your revised Gedcom. I'd want to think about adding some of that editing back to the original file so my workflow would be different. 1) Create the Focus Group 2) Export to a Legacy File 3) Check and edit 4) Create the Gedcom 5) Intellishare merge the new Legacy file back into the old to pick up the changes. You are presented the ones that have changed to look at and can choose whether or not to include the change in your original file. Another way of looking at a Gedcom is to use GenViewer - a separate program. See the Legacy Add-ons on the Legacy Website. Cheers, Cathy At 05:19 AM 18/04/2007, you wrote: Hello Everyone, Sorry.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sourcing Sources
Hi Moira, You can't do this automatically. If you import to a new Legacy file to clean up locations etc, I also clean up sources at the same time. In the Master Source List, I edit the Source list name and Title of each by adding Joe Bloggs from to the beginning of each. You can do this faster in Access but possible in Legacy. I hadn't thought of doing it in the Gedcom itself - must try that. I find this much more useful than just adding them as a source to each bit of data on import as that still leaves their sources intact which aren't mine. Although I do that as well so that they're still there as a source when I've checked their sources and made them mine and deleted theirs. This is also important as they may have unsourced data in their file and I want to know that it came from them and it wasn't me forgetting to add my source when I entered the data. I don't forget often but sometimes miss clicking the Source Clipboard. I don't use the general automatic sourcing that just enters them in the unspecified source field.

Thanks Ron, My husband is also periodically trying to get me to download other text editors. I really have never felt the need. Notepad works fine for the odd times I need to edit text and if I want something more sophisticated, I'd rather use Word, which I use a lot, and then save as text. I also use Turbonote - one of the Sticky Note programs - for quick notes and alarms and for transcribing stuff... and Clipmate which captures everything put on the Windows Clipboard for later use and can be used as a freeform database of bits and pieces. I do some minor editing in Clipmate.

Re: [LegacyUG] Generational List or Report??
Sandra, A faster method might be to generate a descendant or ancestor book report, depending on your starting point, for your word processor. You can then edit to save only the information that you want. Then you will have your doc file.

I have been trying to figure out a way for Legacy to generate a list (via query or report) that shows all the individuals of a particular generation or failing that a list of all individuals in the file grouped/sorted by generation. It would be nice to also have included in that list the birthdates of individuals. The closest I've come is scrolling through a descendant list and transcribing into a text or doc file as I work my way through the 12 (and counting) generations I have so far. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you, Sandra Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.
