[LegacyUG] Memory Stick
I put all my data on a memory stick (nerd stick) and now I am planning a trip to Salt Lake City. Since I don't want to take my Laptop computer with me, does the Library have "Legacy" loaded onto their computers, so it would be easy for my to enter data?

Then had a sex change operation and official name change. Now he-she is planning to marry a man that has biological children. I'm dreading adding this second marriage to my family tree!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Memory Stick
H Gerda, I'm not sure if the Library has Legacy loaded. If this is yours or any one else's first time to the Library, I would suggest that you know exactly what you want before you go to the library as you will become quickly overwhelmed. It may help to do a search online first using the Online Family Center. This also will save you time instead of waiting to use a computer then pulling records from the shelves. Also if a record is in the "vault" you will need to let the library know ahead of time to pull the film you want. If you go to the library do not waste your time looking for documents that you can get online. I live in NC and did a pilgrimage to the Library last summer. My how Salt Lake City is very beautiful and clean and I have never been to "big city" where everyone seemed very friendly and would talk to you. The Library folks are extremely friendly and helpful. I spent a three full days from open until close at the Library researching one family line and ended up gladly spending $90 on copies of records in which I could take back home with me scan them into my computer and add them to my Legacy database. I basically copied every person from a specific county in NC that ended in the surname I was researching--this included birth records, death records, and marriage records. this payed off when I got home and had time to look over the data. I linked family that I never knew I had. Take a lot of dollar bills with you if you end up doing this. The sad thing is if I go to my state archive in NC I would spend 3 days getting 5 documents since you have to go through such a bureaucratic process filling out paperwork to look at one file. It was cheaper for me to drive across country with the family stay at a timeshare and my wife graciously letting me spend 3 full days at the Library :) I'm not sure what you are wanting to accomplish, but unless things have changed since last year, you could not scan films directly to your memory stick. They did not have that technology that I am aware of. There are plenty of film readers, but the computers were packed and you could only use them an hour at a time. Again, make sure you know what you want before you go so you do not waste your time, unless you live close by and have plenty of time to kill.

RE: [LegacyUG] Memory Stick
Gerda and Joe, I went the SLC FHL this last April for a week. You are right, and I agree with Joe that the more you can search before you arrive, the better. Take your thumb drive or CD's so that you can store info from their computers. There are 3 floors of computers that are occupied most of the time except for after lunch and before closing. I didn't see any sign of a time limit and I saw people on the same spot all day. Maybe the time limit was not enforced during that time period. Take your own magnifying glass too.

[LegacyUG] Pictures
Hi Everyone, I am still working on my pictures that I have in my Legacy Data File. I really appreciated all your responses on how to convert my BMP files to JPG files. I have another question that I hope someone can help me out with, some of the BMP files that I have in my program are scanned images of death notices that I found in local newspapers, what I would like to be able to do is to highlight the write-up on these BMP or JPG files, then copy and paste the information into either the death notes field or in the notes section of death notice event that I add to the person who has died, is this possible? It would certainly save a lot of manual typing. Leo Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

[LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Why do adopted children whose relationship is shown as adopted in the child status and whose date of birth is before the marriage date of their adopted parents still show up as an error? Birthdate is before the marriage date of Parents. I know I can exclude them from the error, but can't this be fixed in Legacy 7? Why doesn't the error finding mechanism recognize these kids are adopted? Matt Henderson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] How do I delete Child Status?
"Deleting Child Status" means removing it from the List for everyone,it would not be available for any child. If you only want to "remove child status" for one instance - Select the appropriate set of parents in Family View. Then right-click on the child, click "Children's Settings", and click the down-arrow beside "Child Status" to open the drop-down list. The first entry in the list is *blank*. Selecting the blank entry replaces/removes the previously selected child status. Regards, Mary Young Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures
I save the scanned documents as images. I have yet to see an OCR program that is both affordable and works. For most - it takes so long to correct what the program thinks it saw - incorrectly - you could have typed the entire thing in by hand. And the image can be enlarged to make it readable for older relatives (or me).

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted Children
Matt, I would think that if this was not shown as an error then no error would be shown for a birth that was, say 1,000 years, prior to the marriage date and that would clearly be in error. I suspect more births occur after the marriage even for adoptions and to me it makes sense to have it show an error for you to check. You can then choose to exclude this once you have checked. No software can be all things to all users. I think the way it is set up now is best for most users.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures
Leo, Apologies for my last answer in Rich text format (it's my default)! If you have a scanner, you probably have an option to convert the scanned document into text as it is scanned. I need to do this on "high quality" scan if the document is not very clear but it is a great time saver. You will need to proof read the created text but that is far faster than my typing.

I basically copied every person from a specific county in NC that ended in the surname I was researching--this included birth records, death records, and marriage records. this payed off when I got home and had time to look over the data. I linked family that I never knew I had. Take a lot of dollar bills with you if you end up doing this. The sad thing is if I go to my state archive in NC I would spend 3 days getting 5 documents since you have to go through such a bureaucratic process filling out paperwork to look at one file. It was cheaper for me to drive across country with the family stay at a timeshare and my wife graciously letting me spend 3 full days at the Library :) I'm not sure what you are wanting to accomplish, but unless things have changed since last year, you could not scan films directly to your memory stick. They did not have that technology that I am aware of. There are plenty of film readers, but the computers were packed and you could only use them an hour at a time. Again, make sure you know what you want before you go so you do not waste your time, unless you live close by and have plenty of time to kill.
