Re: [LegacyUG] Family File and Sources
Hi Anne, Is it the Master Source you are unhappy with or the Source Detail? Master Sources are best tidied up through the Master Source List. There you can identify whether you have two source listings for the same source and combine them. You can also edit them to make them more consistent and easier for other people to understand which source you have used and where to find it for themselves - or which person holds the Family Bible or Grandfather's diary etc. To check Source Detail, I'd tag a Master source or group of Master Sources and run the Source Report making sure I included the RIN so I can easily identify the right person and then go in and edit the ones I wasn't happy with. I'm not sure what your problem is with the date. Do you have a clash between the way your computer is set up for dates and your default date setting in Legacy? Is that somehow messing up the date recorded? I understand that it's best to use the same order of day, month, and year for both but can't recall why. If your problem is just with the Recorded Date - I'd simply ignore it. It's useful but not crucial to have that. Yes you can export your file without Sources with a Gedcom export - but that is a very bad way of cleaning up sources. You'd have to start over completely. It's much, much, much easier to enter sources as you enter data than to come back and enter sources later. Cathy At 09:01 AM 26/08/2007, you wrote: Hello I have my Legacy file and all media stored on my PC with backups to a separate drive and online as well. I have now purchased a Laptop and was thinking of transferring all my work to the laptop and using both the remote drive and on line storage for backups. My question is I really want to tidy up my sources - I am very happy with 80% of them but it is the other 20% I want to tidy. My file has 8022 people with 2549 Master Source entries. Can I export my Legacy file without the sources? Seems this would be a hard way to fix the 20%. Can I export my file without the date recorded in source detail as I have found that no matter the date I enter, I end up with amazingly obscure dates in this field. Sherry has kindly helped me to clean this up twice but it seems to start all over again (I always enter the date I record without fail by pressing the today's date button) Is there an easier way to clean up my sources?

RE: [LegacyUG] Family File and Sources
Hi Cathy Thank you for your response. The source detail is annoying not crucial as you say - it is just annoying to see someone born say 1857 and have a recorded date of 1653 - obviously an error - Sherry and I could not find any conflict, the closest we got was me picking up that some of the dates were those of other family people completely unrelated and not recorded at the same or a similar time. Just my tidy mind that I find it annoying. But have let it go since our last cleanup so will continue to do so. In terms of the Master sources I have merged all duplicates but picked up quite a few where I have not completely detailed the sources, hence my main question. You have given me some good ideas to pursue and will tackle that way. Thank you for your assistance. Anne Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy question
Frank, The free standard version of Legacy doesn’t create PDF files; however, if you purchase Legacy Family Tree 6.0 Deluxe you will have the ability to create a PDF file of your family tree. PDF files are a common file format that can be burned to a CD or sent as an e-mail attachment. They can be opened on any computer with the Acrobat Reader. In addition, if you purchase Legacy 6 Deluxe now we'll send you the upgrade to Legacy 7 for FREE when it is released later this fall. Please visit http://www.legacyfamilytreestore.com/ for details. Optionally you can send your family members a CD the standard version of Legacy along with your family file. Please visit the links under “Burning CD's as a Way to Share Legacy Family Files” at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Tips.asp for the steps. Another option is to buy GENViewer Legacy Edition. I highly recommend this program. You may use GENViewer on a free 15-day trial basis, after which you must purchase the program to continue using it. Please visit http://www.legacyfamilytreestore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GVL for details. When creating a report or chart in Legacy, simply click the Preview button in the upper right corner of the report screen to see what the finished product will look like. This is the best way to save paper. If you need to contact Millennia Corporation for technical assistance or questions about purchases, etc., you can get the mailing address, e-mail addresses and phone numbers by visiting our home page at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/ and clicking “Contact Us” on the drop-down Help Center menu.

RE: [LegacyUG] Relationships
Not if you mean what I think you mean. The nearest you can get is eg. by tagging all you uncles and then creating a relationship report, but this little more than a list. Other reports, except for the Individual Report, depend on there being direct links between the individuals and without including either/both of your parents and their siblings these do not exist. You could probably work around this by creating the individual webpages for tagged individuals and then using another program to strip the html and saving as text, but I haven't tried this.

Hi Mary, Thank you very much for your input on this issue. I had real hope that the information you provided would lead to a complete backup of my image files, but alas, that was not to be.

I have examined in great detail the file that pops up when I click on Help in the context of these attempts, but have found no information there that explains the intention of Combine the highlighted path with another one on the list... The 399 page Legacy 6.0 manual apparently contains no entries pertaining to backups of pictures. I found no reference to how the Backup Multimedia Files process works, or how to accomplish what I desire. If the option to enter the intended backup path as I:\Legacy\Pictures\*.* that would greatly simplify my particular need. I have no idea how Legacy 6.0 could accomplish backups of image files that are scattered around a variety of drives and folder.

Admittedly I am a newcomer to Legacy, and as such must plead ignorance of some of the finer points of its use, but the backup process should be straight forward, as it is fundamental to the protection of our efforts.

RE: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Hi John; I think you will find that Legacy backs up only items that are linked to the current database you are viewing. If all things in a folder are not linked, then you will not get everything backed up. You might want to back up the total picture folder yourself to include everything that is contained, linked or not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Hi Clancy, That is an excellent point, and I confirmed that premise with a simple test. I do regular backups of my drives as a matter of course, but was concerned that Legacy apparently was missing things. Your information has restored my faith in Legacy's backup capability, and will give my sister considerable peace of mind. G Thank you very much!

I had real hope that the information you provided would lead to a complete backup of my image files, but alas, that was not to be. In the hope that someone from Millennia will read this and provide clarification on what I am doing wrong, here is how I have my image files stored: I:\Legacy\Pictures - images of individuals (only one person per image) I:\Legacy\Pictures\docs - images of documents (certificates, census, etc.) I:\Legacy\Pictures\groups - images of groups (more than one person in a photo) I:\Legacy\Pictures\places - contains images of places things (buildings, cars, objects, etc.) I expected that the command Files/Backup Multimedia files would backup all of the files in each of those folders listed above. What actually happened was: I:\Legacy - the backup stores iv.jpg I:\Legacy\Pictures - backup contained all JPG and BMP images plus the folder docs Missed wee all TIF and PCX files, and the folders groups and places I:\Legacy\Pictures\docs - backup contained one JPG and one PDF file Missed wee 52 additional JPG files, 14 TIF files, and 6 PDF files I:\Legacy\Pictures\groups - not contained in the backup I:\Legacy\Pictures\places - not contained in the backup In the Options/Customize/View Current List of Multimedia Locations popup screen I have the following lines: I:\Legacy\Pictures\ I:\Legacy\Pictures\docs\ I:\Legacy\Pictures\groups\ I:\Legacy\Pictures\places\ In an attempt to follow the (I believe) cryptic invitation to Combine the highlighted path with another one in the list... I have tried what I believe to be all combinations of selections and entries possible No combination has resulted in any variation in what is saved in the resulting backup files. I have examined in great detail the file that pops up when I click on Help in the context of these attempts, but have found no information there that explains the intention of Combine the highlighted path with another one on the list... The 399 page Legacy 6.0 manual apparently contains no entries pertaining to backups of pictures. I found no reference to how the Backup Multimedia Files process works, or how to accomplish what I desire. If the option to enter the intended backup path as I:\Legacy\Pictures\*.* that would greatly simplify my particular need. I have no idea how Legacy 6.0 could accomplish backups of image files that are scattered around a variety of drives and folder. I have worked with computers since 1964, as an operator, programmer, maintainer and instructor. In 40 years of genealogical research I have used a number of database programs, and reached some considerable degree of expertise in some of them. I have been a beta tester for several firms for over 30 years, and have been a technical writer for much of my life, but the process of accomplishing what should be a simple backup of files from within Legacy 6.0 continues to elude me. Admittedly I am a newcomer to Legacy, and as such must plead ignorance of some of the finer points of its use, but the backup process should be straight forward, as it is fundamental to the protection of our efforts. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could clarify this process for me. I would also appreciate an explanation of the file-types contained in Legacy operation and backup files.

I have tried what I believe to be all combinations of selections and entries possible No combination has resulted in any variation in what is saved in the resulting backup files. I haven't used this command in relation to pictures, but elsewhere in Legacy the option to Combine ... with another ... means that the two paths or locations become one and everything which was associated with the other one becomes associated with the single path or location which is retained. That sounds very complex so I will give an example to clarify it. Suppose you have a location of Liverpool, Lancs, England which is associated with 3 people in your family file and you have 10 people associated with the location of Liverpool, Lancashire, England. If you highlight the first location, click on the Combine ... button, then highlight the second location and lick the button again, you will remove the first location containing Lancs and all 13 people will be associated with the location Liverpool, Lancashire, England. I *imagine* that you would use the Combine paths option if you have moved pictures from one folder to another and now want to have Legacy use only one of those paths to locate all the pictures that were spread between two folders. -- Jenny M Benson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Hi Art, Your supposition is correct, in that Legacy doe only backup files that are linked to the database. That is both a blessing and a curse. From a Millennia programmer's point of view it makes perfect sense. If an end-user has thousands of image files in various folders (and I do), only those actually used in Legacy have meaning to that program. That makes good sense to me as well, in that I don't wish to send all of my image files to my sister as she only needs those that must show up in Legacy. From the point of view of an end-user who expected a complete folder backup, that may be disappointing, but for myself, I use other backups for the mass of data I keep, so it's a minor point. Where I still have reservations is the area of receiving a backup multimedia file from someone else, and having to sort out where to put all those image files that may be in separate folders say by surname, or even separate folders for each individual! That's how my sister stores her image files, and I can see that I'll have a big job getting them all entered into my system, as those individual folders don't exist on my system. I will have to copy the files to the appropriate storage location of my own, trusting that the filenames will tell me what they are. Since we have a standard convention for naming files, that shouldn't be a problem, but I'll still have to re-link each file by making the appropriate entries in Legacy for sources and events.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy question
You are here. The user group can be very helpful, but since I have the deluxe for over three years do not know what isn't in the standard. IMHO, the CD stuff is in the Deluxe. To the right of the icon 'calendar' is one, a red circle with white letters 'PE'. The Legacy crews is getting ready for the Legacy Cruise, but you can call the 800 number and talk to whoever is there. I believe any CD created by the program can be self loading. Is there a way to preview where you're at? not sure what you mean? Technical support is available throught the number on the web site (I forgot it at present). They may be on said cruise so ask the group here. Rich in LA CA --- Frank Sommer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Names in Address List
I use the address list to record the details of locations such churches, cemeteries, etc. When I do not have a name (such as when a person dies in a private home), Legacy inserts a n/a as the name of the place. Thus, when I open up the address list I see a long list of n/a which is not very helpful. How do others handle this situation? ... I'm looking for ideas.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Hi Jenny, Assuming that your supposition about how the Combine option functions, that might be useful to those of us who exchange multimedia backups, as such an association might allow us to link those new files with relative ease. Experimenting with that issue, I linked some files from folders in another drive on my system, to events in my own record. Then I created a multimedia backup. I find that the files are listed in folders without the drive letters. Those folders that are from another drive than the one containing the multimedia backup, are listed separately. For example, the images I linked from the drive on which Legacy is installed, are all in folders under a Legacy main folder. The files from other drives are in (in this case) a main folder titled Graphics though they came from a drive on which that Graphics folder is a sub-folder of the root. The drive letter, and the root folder are stripped away. Under that main Graphics folder are two additional folders named as they were on that other drive, and under that are the linked files. My next question is if I unzip the backups from someone else's computer to make them available to my database, can I use the Combine feature we've been discussing to link all those added images? I don't know the answer to that one yet. My tendency would be to place those added images in folders where I normally store such things, then link them to the appropriate events if the Legacy data backup did not include the original links. I haven't experimented enough to know whether linking paths come with data backup files. Do you know the answer to that? Incidentally, referring to your example of the Lancashire location, my previous genealogy program, Ancestral Quest, would have dealt with that issue simply by searching on all entries like the one with the shortened version of Lancashire, and replacing them with the preferred version. Does Legacy have a similar capability. John John Zimmerman Mesa, Arizona Jenny M Benson wrote: hwedhlor wrote In an attempt to follow the (I believe) cryptic invitation to Combine the highlighted path with another one in the list... I have tried what I believe to be all combinations of selections and entries possible No combination has resulted in any variation in what is saved in the resulting backup files. I haven't used this command in relation to pictures, but elsewhere in Legacy the option to Combine ... with another ... means that the two paths or locations become one and everything which was associated with the other one becomes associated with the single path or location which is retained. That sounds very complex so I will give an example to clarify it. Suppose you have a location of Liverpool, Lancs, England which is associated with 3 people in your family file and you have 10 people associated with the location of Liverpool, Lancashire, England. If you highlight the first location, click on the Combine ... button, then highlight the second location and lick the button again, you will remove the first location containing Lancs and all 13 people will be associated with the location Liverpool, Lancashire, England. I *imagine* that you would use the Combine paths option if you have moved pictures from one folder to another and now want to have Legacy use only one of those paths to locate all the pictures that were spread between two folders.

RE: [LegacyUG] Names in Address List
Wayne, Legacy only inserts an n/a if after clicking on the + sign you click on the address and exit the field. You can go back into the address and click on Unlink or click it before leaving the field. For the ones you already have and want to delete, I think you will have to go to View/Master Lists/location and ask to show all with n/a. You can then go through the list and Unlink them.

If you were to unzip a file of images into an area of your file system that was not currently referenced by Legacy, then, if you add the path to the 'root' of the images into the Legacy images paths, access is made. This is particularly useful when data you have imported from elsewhere uses a storage for images that is different to yours. When you try to access one of the 'new' images that Legacy doesn't yet know about, Legacy will have a little moan and ask you where the image is stored. Simply locate the file and Legacy will automatically add the path to its' list of paths.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
por favor, solo en castellano - Mensaje original De: hwedhlor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Enviado: domingo 26 de agosto de 2007, 19:15:14 Asunto: Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... ) Hi Jenny, Assuming that your supposition about how the Combine option functions, that might be useful to those of us who exchange multimedia backups, as such an association might allow us to link those new files with relative ease. Experimenting with that issue, I linked some files from folders in another drive on my system, to events in my own record. Then I created a multimedia backup. I find that the files are listed in folders without the drive letters. Those folders that are from another drive than the one containing the multimedia backup, are listed separately. For example, the images I linked from the drive on which Legacy is installed, are all in folders under a Legacy main folder. The files from other drives are in (in this case) a main folder titled Graphics though they came from a drive on which that Graphics folder is a sub-folder of the root. The drive letter, and the root folder are stripped away. Under that main Graphics folder are two additional folders named as they were on that other drive, and under that are the linked files. My next question is if I unzip the backups from someone else's computer to make them available to my database, can I use the Combine feature we've been discussing to link all those added images? I don't know the answer to that one yet. My tendency would be to place those added images in folders where I normally store such things, then link them to the appropriate events if the Legacy data backup did not include the original links. I haven't experimented enough to know whether linking paths come with data backup files. Do you know the answer to that? Incidentally, referring to your example of the Lancashire location, my previous genealogy program, Ancestral Quest, would have dealt with that issue simply by searching on all entries like the one with the shortened version of Lancashire, and replacing them with the preferred version. Does Legacy have a similar capability. John John Zimmerman Mesa, Arizona Jenny M Benson wrote: hwedhlor wrote In an attempt to follow the (I believe) cryptic invitation to Combine the highlighted path with another one in the list... I have tried what I believe to be all combinations of selections and entries possible No combination has resulted in any variation in what is saved in the resulting backup files. I haven't used this command in relation to pictures, but elsewhere in Legacy the option to Combine ... with another ... means that the two paths or locations become one and everything which was associated with the other one becomes associated with the single path or location which is retained. That sounds very complex so I will give an example to clarify it. Suppose you have a location of Liverpool, Lancs, England which is associated with 3 people in your family file and you have 10 people associated with the location of Liverpool, Lancashire, England. If you highlight the first location, click on the Combine ... button, then highlight the second location and lick the button again, you will remove the first location containing Lancs and all 13 people will be associated with the location Liverpool, Lancashire, England. I *imagine* that you would use the Combine paths option if you have moved pictures from one folder to another and now want to have Legacy use only one of those paths to locate all the pictures that were spread between two folders.

Re: [LegacyUG] Another cry for help
There is a roundabout way to print the Family View if you particularly want that. When you hold Ctrl and Shift and press Prt Sc (print screen), it makes a copy (image) of whatever window you are on and puts it in the Windows clipboard. You can then open Paint or any other image processing program, paste the screen image into that program (hold Ctrl and press V), and then you can print the image from within that program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Names in Address List
Jennifer: I think you misunderstood my question. All the items with the n/a in the name box have data in them which I want linked to the event in question; it is just that I have no information to put in the name box. For instance, I have several deaths that occurred in a private home and I have the address of that home. However, I do not know whose home it is so have nothing to put in the name box.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Mike, Thank you very much for that clear explanation. Knowing that will make using Legacy that much more enjoyable. John John Zimmerman Mesa, Arizona Mike Fry wrote: hwedhlor wrote: Assuming that your supposition about how the Combine option functions, that might be useful to those of us who exchange multimedia backups, as such an association might allow us to link those new files with relative ease. Experimenting with that issue, I linked some files from folders in another drive on my system, to events in my own record. Then I created a multimedia backup. I find that the files are listed in folders without the drive letters. Those folders that are from another drive than the one containing the multimedia backup, are listed separately. For example, the images I linked from the drive on which Legacy is installed, are all in folders under a Legacy main folder. The files from other drives are in (in this case) a main folder titled Graphics though they came from a drive on which that Graphics folder is a sub-folder of the root. The drive letter, and the root folder are stripped away. Under that main Graphics folder are two additional folders named as they were on that other drive, and under that are the linked files. My next question is if I unzip the backups from someone else's computer to make them available to my database, can I use the Combine feature we've been discussing to link all those added images? I don't know the answer to that one yet. My tendency would be to place those added images in folders where I normally store such things, then link them to the appropriate events if the Legacy data backup did not include the original links. I haven't experimented enough to know whether linking paths come with data backup files. Do you know the answer to that? John, To answer your question about a 'Combine' feature for image files: it's already there! If you were to unzip a file of images into an area of your file system that was not currently referenced by Legacy, then, if you add the path to the 'root' of the images into the Legacy images paths, access is made. This is particularly useful when data you have imported from elsewhere uses a storage for images that is different to yours. When you try to access one of the 'new' images that Legacy doesn't yet know about, Legacy will have a little moan and ask you where the image is stored. Simply locate the file and Legacy will automatically add the path to its' list of paths. The program should, thereafter find the rest of the missing images on its own.

Re: [LegacyUG] IGI and Source detail download
Those with microfilm and additional details may be part of an extraction program. Batch information is provided when individuals submitted paper forms for temple work to be done. For over a decade now submissions have been electronic and lack sources. Later electronic submissions have a check box to share your contact info. To find out the submitter, you can call and ask a temple recorder for that info. It may take a call or two to different temples because some will not look it up. Sometimes the submitter info is available, and sometimes it is not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
Hi John, With pictures that are attached to Legacy, whether you move them to different folder(s) or you unzip someone else's pics and put them in a different folders, pictures that are attached within a family file can be found by using the Test Multimedia Paths button in Options Customise when that family file is open. When Legacy reports that it can't find a pic, browse to the right folder and find the pic (I find this much quicker than letting Legacy search my hard drive(s) - especially since I often have archive copies with the same name elsewhere on the drive), Legacy will then find all the other associated pics that are in that folder. That is, you only have to do it once for each folder. If the folder is already in your list of Multimedia Locations, I don't think you have to do it at all. So if your sister has associated a pic with a person and you've merged her file with yours (Do you Intellishare merge? One of you needs to keep the Master file to do this and send a new file to the other person before they make more changes) The other way - especially if you continue to keep the pics in different file structures - is to get a list of those modified after a particular date, tag them and export that list to a new Legacy file - so you're only merging people who have been changed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a gedcom
Valerie, one suggestion for you if you have more than one family in your file is to create a focus group using Search and tag your focus group with an unused tag no eg 8 or 9, then create your gedcom by exporting to Gedcom all individuals tagged with 8 or 9 (whichever you've chosen to use), remember to exclude any information like addresses private notes etc that you have in your file or others will have access to them too. More details: Search Miscellaneous search Focus group 'View/select focus group' button - add as many people and descendants that fit your criteria, save and close your list - Back at Miscellaneous search, 'Create list' button Options Advanced Tagging - select 'Everyone in Search list' button, select an unused tag no eg 8 or 9, close your list - Go to File Export to Gedcom file, choose all the settings you'd like to show as much or as little detail in the Gedcom, go to 'Record selection' button, choose 'All records with an individual tag of # use the tag no you allocated for your focus group.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships
Thank you, Graham. My goodness, Legacy capabilities just keep getting better and better. Thank goodness some of you have experimented with various features so you can pass them on to the rest of us. Ruth A. (Sconza Testa) Nerud [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can produce a sortable or searchable list of all relatives of a specific person (eg yourself). From the relationship report choose the csv file option and you can open the result in Excel. Then just sort by the 'relationship' column. Graham Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Names in Address List
Wayne, Happy to help. Those directories may not be so difficult to find. Try: http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ There are others as well.

I'll see what I can do ... all I have to do is find on-line London city directories from the mid-nineteenth century. ___ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada - Original Message - From: hwedhlor To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2007 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Names in Address List Wayne, As you know the address where the death took place, and perhaps the date of death(?), and the name of the deceased, you could try to find a city directory for that place and time, and look up the family name. If the address were the same you would then have a clue as to the name of the person (or family) that lived there. John John Zimmerman Mesa, Arizona Wayne Martell wrote: Jennifer: I think you misunderstood my question. All the items with the n/a in the name box have data in them which I want linked to the event in question; it is just that I have no information to put in the name box. For instance, I have several deaths that occurred in a private home and I have the address of that home. However, I do not know whose home it is so have nothing to put in the name box. Thus, the most unhelpful n/a appears and I want to replace it with something; I just don't know with what or how to replace it. I am wondering how others dealt with this situation or if anybody has any suggestions. ___ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada - Original Message - From: Jennifer Crockett To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2007 3:36 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Names in Address List Wayne, Legacy only inserts an n/a if after clicking on the + sign you click on the address and exit the field. You can go back into the address and click on Unlink or click it before leaving the field. For the ones you already have and want to delete, I think you will have to go to View/Master Lists/location and ask to show all with n/a. You can then go through the list and Unlink them.
