Re: [LegacyUG] Siteing sources for Griffiths Valuation ?
Slightly OT, but just to add a little more to this, for those of you not familiar with Griffith's Valuation, the following is copied from http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php: Irelands Valuation office conducted it's first survey of property ownership in Ireland from 1848 to 1864. This survey became known as Griffiths Valuation after Richard Griffith who was the director of the office at that time. The survey was used to determine the amount of tax each person should pay towards the support of the poor within their poor law union. This involved determining the value of all privately held lands and buildings in rural as well as urban areas to figure the rate at which each unit of property could be rented year after year. The resulting survey was arranged by barony and civil parish with an index to the townlands appearing in each volume. Griffith's Valuation can be used as an excellent census substitute for the years after the Great Famine as censuses prior to 1901 were destroyed. Hope this helps, Dermot.

Re: [LegacyUG] Favorite Legacy Tip
If there are no birth or death dates available for someone I ALWAYS add Est to my birth date. All other dates are as I receive them, i.e, about, cir, etc. This way I know it is plus or minus about 20 years and gives me something to look for. I know that anything with the Est is MY''' estimate and not someone else's. My default is also set to Living = NO. Myrna Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] county as a person
In the same vein as a Surname persona, which collects surname-pertinent data, I have a persona for each of the four counties in which I do the most research. I enter events such as courthouse burnings, iconic moments in history (the night the dance hall blew up, the Jesse James bank robbery, etc) It makes a nice little county history, which comes in handy for creating interesting family narratives. I used to use TMG (The Master Genealogist), and someone on that list had created a really inventive way of recording census, which involved creating a person with the state surname, and county given name, etc. I would be interested to know if others in Legacy are creating other kinds of research individuals.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please truncate your mail
I use Thunderbird. Is there a way to automatically add the hyphen hyphen space in thunderbird? I don't know about automatically, but what I do is keep a draft email (subject: signatures) in the Templates folder with the various signatures I use at times, along with some URLs that I use almost every day. In it, I include the hyphen hyphen space line in the signatures where I want it to appear. When I need that signature or URL, I go to that template email (which is open already 'cos I use it so much) and copy paste the required lines. I keep the draft email in the Templates folder rather than the Drafts folder 'cos it's harder to accidentally delete it there (especially with the changes that came with the new update recently). Thunderbird has excellent support, so if you want to pursue this further, I suggest going to their forums and asking about it there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please truncate your mail
Kirsten, You can add a signature without using an extension. Use the following steps: 1. Create a text file to contain your signature in an appropriate place (My Documents, etc.). 2. In the signature file, add -- on a line by itself as the *first* line. Add any other lines that you want to appear in the signature. There used to be an informal convention that sigs be no more than four lines (but that was in the times of the 300 baud teletype printer/terminals). I don't think anyone would complain if it were longer than four lines now, but, people being people, you never can tell. From my own personal opinion, though, please refrain from including political or religious proclamations. 3. In Thunderbird: Select Tools - Account Settings Select the appropriate mail account. This is the title line for the account, the one that contains the account name, usually just above the line that says Server Settings. (If you have more than one mail account, you can have different signatures for each). Check the Add this signature box and select Choose. Navigate to the appropriate signature file. Select the file and then Open. Select OK. That's it. Thunderbird will now use that signature for all outgoing email for that particular account. As long as you don't change the name of the sig file, you won't have to touch Thunderbird again. If you ever want to change the signature, you only have to change the contents of the signature file.

RE: [LegacyUG] More Lumping and Splitting
Ron: Actually I wouldn't consider your BMD example lumping at all, but simply efficient use of the Master Source feature, since probably several GRO details remain consistent from one record to the next. In the US, however, maintaining these records is a state or county function. Lumping these together under something like Vitals would lose details at the Master Source level. Those details would still be included in source citations when producing most reports, of course, but it seems a Master Source report/list would have little usefulness. I'm not lobbying for either the lumping or splitting approach, but looking for a middle ground that would produce a sort of bibliography from the master source list without making the list unwieldy. As a Lumper, how do you handle published books or census records? Do you group all books together under a single master source or list them individually? At what level do you split census citations? (This is key since they could feasibly all be lumped under Census, or they could be divided at any one of many different levels.)

For example all BMD certificates in the UK are issued by the GRO (Government Record Office) and I lump all these together under Certificates published by the GRO. However, in the Details I specify the type of certificate and where appropriate the date (although usually the latter would be in the event).

[LegacyUG] Adding pictures problem

But the Load Picture window only recognizes about half of them, even after I copy them into my Legacy Pictures folder.

RE: [LegacyUG] More Lumping and Splitting
Jack, Thank you. You are, of course, correct and it was a sloppy example to give. I obtain my certificates from the GRO hence that is generally the repository which I use rather than the local office at which the event was first registered. The point I was making still remains valid, that is, even when lumping the Detail section of the Source can be used to contain the individual information relating to a specific event.

ALL certificates are NOT issued by the GRO. Pre 1983 this is how it was - not totally sure how the post 1984 computerised system operates. When a birth or death event occurred the informant registered that with a local registrar. At the end of each quarter the registrar sent a copy to the GRO. It was therefore possible for an error to be made in the transcription that went to the GRO. Register office marriages were dealt with similarly - except that the informant was the registrar who performed the marriage. In C of E marriages there were three different certificates - the one held by the church, the one sent to the registrar and the one that eventually found its way to the GRO. It is important to recognise that these were different documents - that should be the same, but sometimes differed. If you get a certificate from the GRO it will normally be a photocopy of entry they have onto a modern blank certificate. If that isn't clear enough to copy they send you a newly written certificate - fraught with problems as it may introduce new errors into what was already a transcription. You may also buy a certificate from the local registrar. In most cases this is also a modern transcription of the original entry, but a few register offices are now using the same photocopying technique as the GRO. Lastly, for marriages, you can also obtain a copy of the church register - a lot cheaper of course as it need only cost the price of a photocopy. But the main point I am making is that there are up to 3 different sources for a single certificate - GRO, Local registrar, church (marriages only). And, most importantly, the three can have different information on them. The number of sources in some ways can be 5 - transcript of GRO entry, photocopy of GRO entry, transcript of local entry, photocopy of local entry, copy of church marriage entry. I have two specific examples - GRO sent me a death certificate that was newly written. The informant was Mary REW. It was over 12 months later that I discovered that this had been rewritten wrongly and that her name was ROW. - my gt grandfather (Joseph Henry THORNE) married twice. I obtained a copy of the GRO certificate for his 2nd marriage and found that he was also one of the witnesses! When I looked at the parish church copy it had a different name for the witness (his son William Henry THORNE). I happen to use the lumper method, but would differentiate between these 3 distinct sources of the information. I believe that, strictly, the local registrar's information is the true master and that the GRO is a secondary source.

However, in the Details I specify the type of certificate and where appropriate the date (although usually the latter would be in the event).

Anne, I have found that Vista requires a lot more finger strokes to get the same thing done then in XP.

Re: [LegacyUG] Favorite Legacy Tip
I'm not Myrna, and I don't use estimated dates; but I see them as different from about or circa. For example, I use about when I read in the 1850 census that John Jones was 25. I enter his birth date as about 1825, knowing full well that in ten years he may report his age as 33 and that his tombstone may show his birth year as 1828. [I enter the various other dates as Alt. Birth.] If I were to use an estimated date of birth, it might be in a case where I have only a marriage date of 1840 and no other records. If I used estimates, I might estimate his date of birth as est. 1819-1824. [I am sure many of you are better at making estimates than I am.] I also use about when a couple reports in the later censuses how many years they have been married. I know that if I eventually find a marriage record, it may vary from what they reported. I also know that in another census they might show a different length of marriage.

Re: [LegacyUG] abt / c / est - was: Favorite Legacy Tip
Hi Pami, I use abt (about) and est (estimated) quite different and I believe they mean very different things. If I know that someone was x years old when they married and I have the year of marriage, then their year of birth is abt because they may have been born early in the year, late in the year etc. etc. Similarly if I have immigration or census details, I am reasonably confident of being close to the year of birth +/- a year or two - hence abt. For people that I don't have a specific year and age to calculate the abt date of birth, I'll use the c.25 years generation estimate and hence use est . For example if my gg-grandmother was born abt 1820 and I have her parents names then their dates of birth with be est 1795 until such time as I find something that narrows it down more specifically. If my gg-grandmother is the 5th or 10th child then her parents dates of birth might be est 1790 or est 1785. To me, abt means I have some sort of reference year / age for the calculation, est means I've done a generational estimate. Hope that makes sense - this process works great for me as can at least see what generation ancestors might belong to - particularly those with identical names. Oh - c (circa) would equate to abt in my approach but from memory that wasn't a valid date prefix in Legacy (and some other genie programs) - I could be wrong on that or it may have changed, but I've stuck to abt for those type of dates.

RE: [LegacyUG] Favorite Legacy Tip
Heather, I am interested where you get the years that women marry at about 21 and men at about 25. Are you basing the past on today's estimates? Men and women used to get married at much earlier ages than they do now. It was nothing for men and women to marry at 14 and 16. It was probably more common than not. If you look into many lines of nobility, men were many times married as early or earlier than commoners. At a time when over 50% of the population of the United States lived on farms, a woman was an old maid by the time she was 21 and if she wasn't married by then, she was less likely to be able to marry. So, I don't use those ages in estimating dates, because they would be absolutely unrealistic in most of my data file. I'm not bashing by any means. I was just curious how you arrived at those ages of 21 and 25. I am curious. -- Paul What a glorious world God Almighty has given us.

Hi Paul, I'm not Heather but you are right that different countries, different times and different families have different norms for marriage age (can I get another different in there? ;-)) You need to get a feel from your research. In my family very few people marry in the 18th and 19th century before they are at least 18 and most over 21, many, including the women, well over. I was surprised by this. Perhaps it was economics that kept them single. This is in England and Australia. 21 and 25 as estimates work for me in this time period.

Re: [LegacyUG] Favorite Legacy Tip
I use the same three terms as Heather for the same reasons. I also use the exact same calculations and have done since the mid 1980s. I was given them by a friend in the LDS church (I am LDS) and I understood them to be the recommended method within the church. They have always worked reasonably well for me although I have some significant exceptions (see below). Here is an excellent example (and some humor/humour) ...My great grandfather married three times (and he wasn't LDS; he had them one at a time :) ). The last marriage was when he was 72 and his new wife was only 21. They subsequently produced my Half Granduncle (the same generation as my grandfather and he is only 10 years older than me. Nobody's system could have predicted that marriage or child's birth! The moral of this story - don't get too hung up on estimates but they can be useful if you have nothing better.

I also use abt when I'm given a database with abt used in it.(ok, I don't differentiate between ca and abt) est - means that I guessed the date based on the dates of other events, or dates of the events of relatives. (The whole, children are born about 2 years apart, women are about 21 when they marry, men are about 25.) So basically, I don't have any basis for the date except my guess based on the norms of society (which vary...) each of these are entirely different to me. I admit that many people wouldn't understand the nuances, but to me, they are huge. On 8/20/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Myrna...

RE: [LegacyUG] More Lumping and Splitting (for Gail)
Hello Gail: Your list was extremely informative. Thanks for doing that tabulation. Your breakdown appears to pretty closely follow Elizabeth Shown Mills' recommendations. Now, of course, it generates a few additional questions: 1) Does a list of 800+ Master Sources become cumbersome to manage? (Is it difficult to find things?) 2) Do you use Legacy's Source List Name field (short name) to cause like items such as books, church or cemetery records to sort together on the Master Source List or does that happen automatically because of the title of the citation? (I can see that census listings would sort together, but church records and some of the others probably would not.) 3) If you do use a short name, how do you keep track of what you called things? Thanks again for your response; it's been very helpful.

RE: [LegacyUG] More Lumping and Splitting (for Gail)
Hi Kirsten, You need to use the Source List Name to keep things together and findable on the Master Source list. It sorts (currently) only by Source List Name. How you do it depends on how you think about sources. I do it by type. Some people put location first so that all sources for a particular State are found together.
