Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
Thanks for the verification! Richard - if you turn on the view 1/2 children, then all children of either parent will show up. The 1/2 children show up after the "full" children, and are shown with "1/2" before their names, and the name of their other parent in brackets. I learned about this feature very recently, on this list. (to turn it on, right-click on an existing child, and select View - 1/2 children [or siblings, or something like that...] Susan - yes, that is how I got the second unknown father - I created the child unlinked, and linked it to the mother. Thanks for the verification! I tried changing the view unknown - it is in the menus to customize legacy - without having it open in front of me, I think it was options. On one of the tabs you can select if you want unknown people shown as unknown, or left blank. I've generally had it set to leave blank - but had changed it to show unknown to see if it put it in brackets where the name went with the 1/2 kids I thought it might make it clearer to me, and I was considering changing it. Cathy - thanks for also verifying it - and I am glad to hear it is already reported. Didn't know about the relationship calculation. I suppose I could have the children all under the same unknown father, until I know who the father(s) are - but I figured with the length of time, it was most likely another person and wanted to show that likelyhood.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
Hi Heather, This is a bug I notified a long time ago. It is entered in the bug tracking system. If you do a relationship calculation on the children, you may be stunned to see them reported as first cousins rather than half siblings or as full siblings. Cathy At 06:20 AM 9/11/2007, you wrote: I have turned on View 1/2 kids in Family View (thanks to this list for pointing it out - I love it!) But I am noticing an anomaly, which I will see if I can explain clearly. I have an ancestor, Ellen McCaslin. She had 3 children while single, which I have entered with a single unknown father. (I don't know if they had the same father or not - but for now put them together.) She was then married, and had more children.She then had a child a couple of years after her husband died, which I have entered under a DIFFERENT unknown father.Neither of the unknown father's are actually entered as people. (ie, no RIN) In Family View - with 1/2 kids view turned on... When you look at her family with her actual husband, all the kids and 1/2 kids show correctly.But, when you look at the family with either of the unknown husbands, you do not see the child/children of the unknown husband listed as a 1/2 kid. (but you do see the 1/2 kids from the actual marriage.)So the problem seems to be seeing the 1/2 kids with the 2 unknown fathers. Can anyone recreate this? And a minor other thing - if I turn on the viewing of unknown - it doesn't list (unknown) after the 1/2 children's name where it would show the other parents name otherwise Thanks Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
But if you think about it, no matter who she has children with, all of her children should show up as half children (i.e. stepchildren) to her current spouse in view. I did notice that this oddity did not change no matter which order I put the husbands in. The first three entered and the last one entered will miss the half children connection. As soon as I changed ONE unknown father to an actual RIN person, then it all works correctly. So that makes this a bug.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
Heather, I am trying to recreate your scenario. It does sound like a bug. Since they all share the same mother, they should all be listed as her children. I've entered the three children with no father. Then I entered marriage a new husband called Mr. Husband, and their legitimate child (#4). I'm having trouble creating a third spouse that is without a RIN. So I created an unlinked individual (Baby 5) and linked her to just the mother. Immediately I see her family group, and the first three children are not shown. This is definitely a bug! I'd report it to Support. Susan p.s. I don't know how to "turn on the viewing of unknown" so didn't test that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wife entered twice
Hi Diane, Since they are only listed once in the index, she is not entered twice but linked twice. Note she only has one RIN. Unlink one of the marriages. You can access the unlink dialogues by right clicking on a person in family view. If you lose a child, then you need to relink the child to the couple. Find them in the index. Unlinking does not delete anybody. With them in the middle position on Family View, right click and choose add parents then link to existing parents. Unless you only know one parent, always link children to a couple not a father or a mother. If you link to father or mother you'll create a new marriage/relationship for that parent. If she was really entered twice (had two entries in Index View and two differents RINs) you would merge the two. Cathy At 12:20 AM 9/11/2007, you wrote: I have a wife who is related several ways and was entered twice as the same wife to the same husband. I see only one child listed as a duplicate in the family view (Sarah, then as Sarah (Mary) and the other children are all listed as "child name (Mary)." In the individual index there is only one Mary Phillips and only one Sarah Tracy. No one appears to be duplicated on this list. The only duplication I see is on the marriage list where the couple is listed twice. I don't want to eliminate descendant information. I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks!

RE: [LegacyUG] Uploading to Ancestry -
My first family file that I uploaded was for my 4 direct lines using (5) generations. After the search had found up to a 100 new persons with images, I exported that family file to my desktop. 2. I imported it to a new Legacy file and verified all of the data. At this point BACKUP every files you will be using. 3. I imported that Legacy file to the family file I had created to uploaded the 4 direct lines - (5) generations. 4. Next, I ran merge and using the check for duplicates option. When asked, I chose the options that allowed and automatic merge when every thing was identical, and manual merge on the remainder. 5. Merge this updated (5) generations into your "real" data base. I have followed these steps for about (5) different downloads and am very pleased with the results.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
It is working correctly, IMHO. It is a matter of definitions. Looking at ANY couple, the children of only one of them are put in 1/2 mode. It actually boils down to who is in the MRIN. The womans' children are hers with someone else. Unless one of the fathers (unknown) is shown as having the same MRIN with two or more children, making them full siblings to each other, he would have no other kids show up. This is not stating what actually happened but is only a bookkeeping tool.

RE: [LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
Heather, I suspect that this may be due to when and/or how you linked them at the time you entered them. It seems probable that they are not linked to the respective unknown fathers (oe they are only linked to the mother) and if you do link them then it should resolve the problem.

RE: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
Susan, I have no time for nitpicking organisations no matter how many initials they have in their name. It is not up to them to tell anybody what sort of grammar should be used in their reports. In any event I believe them to be wrong - at least as far as English English is concerned. My advice: ignore them, they might not go away but if they have nothing better to do, they should!

Legacy's standard report is to use the preposition "in" - i.e. "Chris was born in Boston on 1 Aug 1901." The NEHGS released their 26 Sep 2007 free newsletter, with an article "Research Recommendations: Genealogical Writing: Prepositions." Their preference is for manuscripts to use the word "at" (except for cemeteries) although they say "in" is acceptible. Their example is "She died at Brighton, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, 15 March 1809 and was buried at Boston in King's Chapel Burying Ground." In my manuscript, I find I only use the preposition "at" for the residence event descriptions (which is automatic with Legacy sentence definition) and "in" for the event location (which is part of the code [InPlace]). What I am now faced with is where I used places like hospitals or cemeteries in my locations list, and didn't change the prepositions. I have kept "in" which I think is an accurate description (you are born in a hospital, not at it). But how can I globally change the use elsewhere by Legacy of its "in" prepositions to "at"? Is there any way? Well, at least the NEHGS says if you use "in" to at least keep it consistent. But I wonder if the use of "at" is more professional, and if so, should Legacy have that option? I don't mind off-list responses with your opinions, but I don't want to start a debate on list about which preposition is best! LOL! My questions which should be addressed on list are (1) is there a way to globally change the preposition of "in" to "at" in the Locations List, and (2) can Legacy have the option to use "at" instead of "in" in its "InPlace" definition and locations preposition list, if that is a more professional manuscript standard.

[LegacyUG] Possible Bug? - View 1/2 kids in Family View
I have turned on View 1/2 kids in Family View (thanks to this list for pointing it out - I love it!) But I am noticing an anomaly, which I will see if I can explain clearly. I have an ancestor, Ellen McCaslin. She had 3 children while single, which I have entered with a single unknown father. (I don't know if they had the same father or not - but for now put them together.) She was then married, and had more children.She then had a child a couple of years after her husband died, which I have entered under a DIFFERENT unknown father.Neither of the unknown father's are actually entered as people. (ie, no RIN) In Family View - with 1/2 kids view turned on... When you look at her family with her actual husband, all the kids and 1/2 kids show correctly.But, when you look at the family with either of the unknown husbands, you do not see the child/children of the unknown husband listed as a 1/2 kid. (but you do see the 1/2 kids from the actual marriage.)So the problem seems to be seeing the 1/2 kids with the 2 unknown fathers. Can anyone recreate this? And a minor other thing - if I turn on the viewing of unknown - it doesn't list (unknown) after the 1/2 children's name where it would show the other parents name otherwise Thanks Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
RE: [LegacyUG] What does this error message mean?
Leonard, This is something which has had me wondering from time to time. Sometimes I know it's because I'm pushing my memory - not a problem you should have - but other times seem quite inexplicable. A census jpg downloaded from Ancestry is large (to say the least) and I have wondered if when Legacy accesses the list of censuses in the folder on one's PC the accumulative effect is just too big for the program. Even though it only shows thumbnails it must create them from the large files. To test this I have tried reducing by 50% the size of all the images in the folder and the problem goes away for a while ( more than 50% they are not really readable). I now do this on a regular basis.

[LegacyUG] Printing Source Comments Correctly
Hi everyone, When printing source "comments" on a report, it prints immediately after source "text". That is all well and good, except there is no formatting in the report that distinguishes the difference between the two. The source "comments" begin as another regular sentence after the last sentence from the source "text". Is there anyway to separate source "comments" ? A different line? Different font? hanging indent?? Any input is appreciated.

[LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
I have been editing an RTF generated file (Descendants Book) from Legacy for the past month, and as I near the end, I am beginning to wonder how consistent I have been with my prepositions. Legacy's standard report is to use the preposition "in" - i.e. "Chris was born in Boston on 1 Aug 1901." The NEHGS released their 26 Sep 2007 free newsletter, with an article "Research Recommendations: Genealogical Writing: Prepositions." Their preference is for manuscripts to use the word "at" (except for cemeteries) although they say "in" is acceptible. Their example is "She died at Brighton, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, 15 March 1809 and was buried at Boston in King's Chapel Burying Ground." In my manuscript, I find I only use the preposition "at" for the residence event descriptions (which is automatic with Legacy sentence definition) and "in" for the event location (which is part of the code [InPlace]). What I am now faced with is where I used places like hospitals or cemeteries in my locations list, and didn't change the prepositions. I have kept "in" which I think is an accurate description (you are born in a hospital, not at it). But how can I globally change the use elsewhere by Legacy of its "in" prepositions to "at"? Is there any way? Well, at least the NEHGS says if you use "in" to at least keep it consistent. But I wonder if the use of "at" is more professional, and if so, should Legacy have that option? I don't mind off-list responses with your opinions, but I don't want to start a debate on list about which preposition is best! LOL! My questions which should be addressed on list are (1) is there a way to globally change the preposition of "in" to "at" in the Locations List, and (2) can Legacy have the option to use "at" instead of "in" in its "InPlace" definition and locations preposition list, if that is a more professional manuscript standard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Names/AKA's and Sourcing
Ralf X wrote My great-grandmother went through life on every document as Ellen. Then on a 1901 census she is appears incorrectly as Emma. 1. I would consider this an error. But should I make it an AKA? (I did use the name "Emma" in my Source so someone else will be able to find the document.) 2. If a document has the surname or forename (or both)of a person's name incorrect (drastic misspelling, but translatable), would you use it to source the ancestor's name? Or does it have to be exact? I sometimes wish Legacy allowed sourcing for Forenames and Surnames separately (sometimes the first name is correct and the surname different, or vice versa). 3. Do most people add the married names of ancestors to AKA's? Or do you use them to source her normal name (first name is right after all). I'm realizing I have not been consistent in sourcing names and AKA's, and not sure where to begin cleaning my database up. I rarely find a need to use AKA and certainly wouldn't in the instance you mention. After all, AKA means "Also known as" and the fact that the Census Enumerator wrote your relative's name wrongly doesn't mean that your relative was "known as" that. The way I enter Census information includes entering the Individual's information *exactly as written on the Census* in the Event Description. Where a variation in spelling - or the reversal of forenames, which occurs frequently - appears in a Source such as a BMD index, I record the deviation in the Individual's Notes. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Congratulations Kate. How great it was to see instructions written clearly, in full, and not a reply which sent you to a web site. Please all be aware that some of us are not sitting at a computer connected to direct fast access to the internet. Also some of us are not all able to follow up on the answers to our questions straight away and as Tom said " it is great to have the instructions printed ready for when he was able to get back to his problem. I remember some time ago in my life when I got agitated at people who could not think fast enough or who had trouble recalling something. I am there now and all of you will eventually get there. Some sooner than others. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

I opened my family database in Legacy. I chose File>Export>ged.com file (ged.com 5.0 only) at this point you have to carefully select the choices for your export. The Help Index Export Ged.com Files has all of the options listed with full descriptions. Then, a menu opened asking me to name this new family file and to save it in C:\Legacy\data. 2. After that import, I opened and checked to be sure it was exactly like I wanted it to be. After you make any necessary corrections, then I export this family file choosing File>Export>ged.com file (ged.com 5.0 only) make sure I carefully select the choices. I save it to a folder on my desktop where I can easily find it. The suffixes will be there. 3. Login to Ancestry>My Ancestry>Upload ged.com. When it asks for the location of the ged.com file you will know exactly where you save it on your desktop. Click on that file and Ancestry will upload it just in minutes. 4. When I have accumulated about 250 new names and information then I reverse the process and download it to my computer. 5. Import the new ged.com file to a new family file. After you have reviewed the new data file and are satisfied that it is the way you want it, then, you can merge it into the family file you created in #2. The images of the historical documents and generations you have added from Ancestry will be there. For me, I would never attempt to work with 1,000 individual names at one time. I work with smaller numbers and find them much easier to handle. This is a very cumbersome and tedious process. I would much rather be safe and sure. If I mess up a few 100 names later, I can always go back to the last good point in both the files on my computer and the files on Ancestry. When I have downloaded about 500 names, then I go through steps 1-5 again and upload a new family file to Ancestry and give it a new variation of the family name. After week or so and I am satisfied with the new family database, then, I delete the first one I put on Ancestry. I have been doing this for about 10 days and am very pleased with the progress and accuracy of what I have found and the images of documents I have attached to my files. One more thing, when I find an historical image on Ancestry that I want attached the family file on Ancestry. I also save it to my desktop computer and print out a copy of the document for my reference book. I also do the same thing for the page that you see before you view the document. It will give you all the information you need for your Master Source, detail and Citations. Hope this helps.

RE: [LegacyUG] Names/AKA's and Sourcing
Ralf: In the Source Detail text box I list the name exactly as it's shown in the census and frequently add [sic] and/or an asterisk with a note regarding the conflicting information and why I'm using one bit of information rather than another. I don't view something like an apparent census enumerator's error as a true aka so I think that just documenting it in the source notes would be a sufficient record. The practice of including actual text in the Source Detail also solves your second issue. I have many instances where one source will give only a first or last name or perhaps a birth or death date and no location; then another source may give another part of the name or perhaps a birth or death location but no date. By including the text in the Source Detail, you can record exactly which source provided which part of the data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Names/AKA's and Sourcing
In the AKA section where you add a name in the bottom corner you can apply a specific source. Hence Thomas Keny may never appear that way except in the birth record, so one can apply the birth record source and use the normal way you see his name spelled on the family format. I'm sure you can do with census also. Just discovered this so I thought I'd share.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wife entered twice
Hi Diane, You could search the archives as this question is asked fairly frequently. However, I will just suggest that you click on the "spouses" icon of her window in family view. Does it show more than one? Is there the same spouse repeated twice? If so, select the other listing to be sure which one has the child properly attached to the marriage. Then go back to the spouses list and highlight the one that seems wrong, and click on Unlink. That should remove the duplicate marriage without deleting anyone. (If both marriages have the same child linked, then just pick one spouse to unlink.)

[LegacyUG] Using Legacy with Vista
I have now installed Legacy on my laptop which has the Vista OS. I recall seeing some guidance on using Legacy with Vista, something about the location of files, but I can't find it now either on the Legacy home page or in the archives. I'd very much appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get to that information. I'm NOT interested in all the opinions and stories about the pros and cons of Vista, just help in finding the above information.

[LegacyUG] Wife entered twice
I have a wife who is related several ways and was entered twice as the same wife to the same husband. I see only one child listed as a duplicate in the family view (Sarah, then as Sarah (Mary) and the other children are all listed as "child name (Mary)." In the individual index there is only one Mary Phillips and only one Sarah Tracy. No one appears to be duplicated on this list. The only duplication I see is on the marriage list where the couple is listed twice. I don't want to eliminate descendant information. I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks!

RE: [LegacyUG] Bulk Editing Master Lists
Thanks everyone for your assistance. The answers and tips you provided me helped a great deal.

The report options for HTML output are in some instances are dependant on Web Page Creation settings. This may be one of those instances. 2. Logically you would probably want to choose add a picture to only an event or to only an Event source detail. To do otherwise would be redundant and would lead to picture duplication in a report.

I checked thru the settings you mentioned and the result was: 1) Familty Group Record report to 'Screen/Printer' did not display the source pictures in citations 2) Familty Group Record report to HTML did display the source pictures in citations. Now I'm wondering if there is any logical reason a person would want to have a picture attached to an Event, and to the Event Source Detail/Picture, and to the Master Source Definition/Picture for the Event.

Bob, Now having updated, I have just rerun the Individual and Family Reports and can cpnfirm that, as you stated, the sources are not appearing at the end of the list but on a separate page.

RE: [LegacyUG] Runtime error 380...Invalid property value!
Darlene, One other thing you might want to do is go to the website and download the full install and not try to install from the web or from within Legacy. Once in a while there have been glitches with these types of installations. I haven't seen any problems with installing when downloading the full install file to your hard drive and then installing from there. (This file can also be copied to an backup location for re-installation if needed.)
