RE: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
Jenny, Do not disagree here, I wasn't quite clear as by A Hospital I meant Named Hospital eg. Guys Hospital rather than a hospital. The OED is, however, not withstanding John Clare's email, quite clear that one is born in Hull that is a direct quote from the usage given in my copy of the 2005 Edition - and that is modern enough for me!

[LegacyUG] Saving census images
What should one originally save a census image as ? - a .tiff file? I download a LOT of census images from HeritageQuest which offers the option of .pdf or .tif. I've downloaded the vast majority as .pdf files. Most but not all of them are in pretty readable condition. Is there anything that can be done with a .pdf file to enhance it?

RE: [LegacyUG] Saving census images
Pat, A pdf is an Adobe propriety file and unless one has Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader) then there isn't anything that one can do with them. I have heard of some programs which may be able to, but know nothing about them. Even with Legacy one can only attach them as Video/Sound files. Hence, if you wish to change the size, for example, then you will need to download in the tif format. I don't know about Heritage Quest but these can be quite large; the size, in both pixels and KB, can be reduced by using many programs eg Irfan View which can also change it to the jpg format. These can be attached to Legacy Events as pictures.

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant report with events
Pat, I think you must be looking at Descendant Chart as distinct from Descendants or Descendant Narrative - the latter two being in the Book Reports. The Charts do not allow Events but the Reports do. To set the bullets you need to set the Events in Report OptionsInclude and then go to FormatEvents Narrative to set the bullets.

Re: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
A publisher (NEHGS in this case) can specify (and potentially enforce) their preferences for the documents they handle. The English-speaking world, unlike France, has no organization whose sole purpose is to keep the language pure. The differences between British English and other English speakers have been noted for a long time - in The Canterville Ghost (1887), Oscar Wilde wrote: `We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language´. Note that a number of people (Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, even Winston Churchill, have been credited with the divided by a common language quote about England and the US. From a US point of view, I think of at when there is an identifiable location (street address, landmark) and in when the location is more general (township, etc.). In the case of a medical event, there is a difference in whether a child is born in an ambulance (on the way to [the] hospital) or at an ambulance (waited much too long).

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 FileExportged.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 FileExportged.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 AncestryMy AncestryUpload 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.

I agree that it doesn't make sense; it's a wonderful example of using a recommendation instead of common sense ;-) The phrasing for a birth event such as this would likely be on an ambulance stretcher (gurney/whatever) on the walkway in front of 135 East Main Street, not at the rear door of Medic Ambulance #138.

In fact our birth certificates have a section for the place of birth and I cannot see that at an ambulance in Hull would be acceptable.

Re: [LegacyUG] Saving census images
Hi Pat, Always choose a image format like Tiff if available. The image is embedded in the PDF and to enhance it, you have to copy the image out of the PDF. I don't think this would be different even if you owned PDF writing/editing software although they may have some image editing software included. The copied PDF image is unlikely to be as high a resolution as the straight image format. Cathy At 11:37 PM 9/11/2007, you wrote: What should one originally save a census image as ? - a .tiff file?

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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
That's true. Susan, at least for events it is possible to edit the Event type itself to use what you want before locations, although what you are editing is the type of Event rather than all events so you would have to do them one at a time. Go to Master list, Event Definition, Edit. I've edited some of my event types where I use the notes in a consistent way but have not edited for location prepositions myself. I don't think there is any way to change this in a location specific way or for everything. If there is, I don't know of it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible to search sources??
Hi Pat, Bob's suggestion can help you find what you actually put for a Source List Name so you can find it in the Master Source list. Searching in the Title may give a clue to the Source List Name. However, it isn't any use for Citations (Source Details) as you are given no idea what Master Source or what Individual they are attached to. It's very useful for Citations if you are correcting a typo though. Cathy At 11:05 AM 10/11/2007, you wrote: Try doing a FIND for HAGERS and also put HAGERS in the replace.

Re: [LegacyUG] Names/AKA's and Sourcing
Another thing to consider - is it possible that this error was carried over to some other source down the road. In the case of the census this PROBABLY(?) would not be the case, but if it was misspelled on a land deed, or a certificate of some kind - and that deed or certificate was later used for another transaction or another record . . . the error could continue on and on. If there is that possibility, you may want to include it in the AKAs so you remember to look for that alternate spelling during future searches. But you would, of course, want to document that you believe it was a clerical error and not an actually name she used.

I have a person that I used an AKA to show a spelling variation on an index (but was ok on the original). I use it that way so that I can easily find people in Legacy's index, etc. I hook up the source to the specific AKA I found it under. So basically, it is however you prefer.

RE: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
If you look in the Master Location List, you can change the preposition for any location from in to whatever you like. I don't know whether this is bug free as it's not something I do and I haven't time currently to test it out. If you really want to use at instead of in, try it. Cathy At 11:17 AM 10/11/2007, you wrote: That's true. Susan, at least for events it is possible to edit the Event type itself to use what you want before locations, although what you are editing is the type of Event rather than all events so you would have to do them one at a time. Go to Master list, Event Definition, Edit. I've edited some of my event types where I use the notes in a consistent way but have not edited for location prepositions myself. I don't think there is any way to change this in a location specific way or for everything. If there is, I don't know of it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible to search sources??
Pat, Not sure how large your tree is, but if you can do a multiple descendants report, export it to an RTF, you could search the spources at the end of the file using the Word Processing search feature. But if you have a lot of people, and that source isn't going to be in that report, then you will miss out on it. Alternatively, do a Source Report (Books/Other) and include all sources and all RINs, etc., export to a PDF and use the Adobe to search the report.

Re: Multiple Descendants Report __ was RE: [LegacyUG] Possible to search sources??
Click on Reports Click on Books/Other tab Click on Multiple Lines of Descent At the bottom of the next window, you'll see a change button, this is where you add all the people you wish to do multiple lines from. It automatically starts with the two people you were looking at in family view before you clicked on Reports. There are many Report Options, similar to the other types of reports, but one that will be different is Don't Repeat Duplicate Lines. You will probably want to click that to save paper. I hope this helps get you started. You can play with it for a while to see how it works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Saving census images
Hi Pat, For what it's worth, when I save a Census or other document image from Ancestry it always asks me what I wish to save it as, and I indicate JPEG format, which I understood was pretty universal. When the census comes up as a two page document, and I only need the people on one page, I bring it up with Adobe Photoshop, trim it, and keep the one page I need. So far I have a couple hundred documents, and a great many photos, and haven't made a dent in the storage space on my hard drive. I notice that when I save them in JPEG format I'm always able to enlarge them within Legacy so they are easily read. It's just my way of doing things but I've always saved everything in JPEG format, although I believe most programs will read TIFF format as well. Leonard Lorge On 11/9/07, Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Pat, Always choose a image format like Tiff if available. The image is embedded in the PDF and to enhance it, you have to copy the image out of the PDF. I don't think this would be different even if you owned PDF writing/editing software although they may have some image editing software included. The copied PDF image is unlikely to be as high a resolution as the straight image format. Cathy At 11:37 PM 9/11/2007, you wrote: What should one originally save a census image as ? - a .tiff file? I download a LOT of census images from HeritageQuest which offers the option of .pdf or .tif. I've downloaded the vast majority as .pdf files. Most but not all of them are in pretty readable condition. Is there anything that can be done with a .pdf file to enhance it?
