RE: [LegacyUG] Storing Photos
Barbara, I cannot comment on FTM v Legacy, as apart from creating odd reports I have not used the former. 1) Yes, Legacy only stores the path and not the picture, hence on export only the path is sent. Strictly speaking the pictues are, therefore no longer linked to Legacy on the host PC. There are three ways for the recipient to deal with this: a) If the pictures are stored in, say, C:\Legacy\Pictures then if that folder is sent and installed by the recipient in the same place on their PC it will work fine without any further action needed. b) Often, mine included, they are stored in a folder (say LegPics) in My Documents. My preferred method of exporting these is to use Pando. The recipient then links his pictures to these by selecting a picture-site in Legacy and when the pop-up comes up saying picture not found use the Select by oneself option and click on the picture. All other pictures in that folder will be linked. If the pictures are split into separate folders it will need to be done for each folder. c) If stored as in (b) use the back-up Muluimedia Option and then export/send this file and find as in (b) 2) Web Pages: Legacy copies the pictures you have selected into a new folder together with the html files. This folder then has to be be uploaded onto the Server on which the files are loaded.

The training video mentions that the Legacy software does not store the photo itself, but rather a link to where it is stored on my computer. Correct? After using FTM, where the software has bogged down due to photos being stored within the software, I understand the advantage to this. But, how do the photos remain a part of the file if it is shared with others? Also, I haven't studied yet on how Legacy allows you to create a web site and upload to it, but would the photos be a part of what is uploaded to a web site?

RE: [LegacyUG] Switched over from FTM to Legacy
Valerie, I apologize; when I stated Tools I should have said Features. The combined options such as Tools, View, Reports, Merge and others all are great tools to review your data, update and correct any problems. Example: 1. Click on View 2. Click on Master Lists 3. Click on Location or Source (there are also other options listed to choose from) Now you can view your entered locations or sources, edit them, merge dupes etc. Another very useful item: 1. Click on File 2. Click on File Maintenance Now you have options to check/repair, master list cleanup (great option). As always and it is suggested by Legacy during these options, please backup your file first.

RE: [LegacyUG] Switched over from FTM to Legacy
Barbara, No need to delete your scrapbook items as they will not be included in the GEDCOM created by FTM anyway. You will have to manually add your scrapbook items to your Legacy file. I'm also in the process of changing over from FTM (v. 16) to Legacy. The clean-up/transition process is taking some time (because the features in Legacy are far more advanced than FTM) but I think it's going to be well worth the time in the long run.

Examination shows that it occurs whenever there is a note where the text has a carriage return to create a new paragraph. Everything after that return gets dropped so the notes in PAF end up incomplete. Some are for RINs and some for MRINs which also have notes. Since the original data came from PAF one would think it should go back into PAF with no errors. There is also a second group of errors that reads as follows ERROR 10: Individual 'I33' referenced undefined note 'NO'. ERROR 11: Individual 'I40' referenced undefined note 'NO'. and so on. I DO want to include the notes when I send the gedcom. He happens to be using Reunion on a Mac, so I was using PAF as my test vehicle thinking it should be the most generic option, AND as I said, the original data came from PAF.

An example message is ERROR 5: test.GED, line 1567: RIN 62: Level number '2' for CONT is not the same as the preceding line. Examination shows that it occurs whenever there is a note where the text has a carriage return to create a new paragraph. Everything after that return gets dropped so the notes in PAF end up incomplete. Some are for RINs and some for MRINs which also have notes. Since the original data came from PAF one would think it should go back into PAF with no errors. There is also a second group of errors that reads as follows ERROR 10: Individual 'I33' referenced undefined note 'NO'. ERROR 11: Individual 'I40' referenced undefined note 'NO'. and so on. I DO want to include the notes when I send the gedcom. He happens to be using Reunion on a Mac, so I was using PAF as my test vehicle thinking it should be the most generic option, AND as I said, the original data came from PAF. Any fixes out there to get him a clean GEDCOM? I am using the latest Legacy build.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging individuals
At last I have found the tagging buttons thanks to Jennifer, Hugh and Ron. I must say the help screen does not help in that it does not mention that you have to turn this function on. What a pity I waisted so much time printing out the help screens and searching my computer for the tag buttons. I was beginning to think I had gone mad. This will also be the reason why Rhonda was having such a problem as neither of us could find the tagging buttons. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Calenders was [Holiday Reports]
Thanks, Ron, that was it. I find it interesting that the montly calendar has the option just to have the YEAR of birth but this list only has to option to have the whole DATE of birth. Obviously if you are on 14 February, you know that the birthdate is 14 Feb! So I guess I will have to add that to the enhancements request, as I find it too bulky. Too bad I can't print to a text or data file. I will print to PDF and save that as a text file, and then try opening that in Excel. But I am grateful for you pointing this out to me!!

Re: [LegacyUG] The wonders of laptops
Valerie. Assuming that your laptop is not equipped to go onto the internet perhaps having it handy while you are on the net would be helpful. This does assume that you have space for more than one display + keyboard - not always the case when you're surrounded by paper or sitting in front of a microfilm reader - the *laptop* part of the name becomes a necessity at most of the microfilm reader stations I've seen :-( The pages that don't print legibly in a couple of attempts can be transcribed to the laptop and emailed to yourself as a backup (if the location provides internet access - see below). One of the nice things about laptops is that they are so portable and some of them even have batteries and can run with always being plugged in...assuming that you aren't expecting them to run 24 /7. From the dialogue you've been carrying on I am betting that if you had it handy while following up on the tips generated by this group that you would likely get the answers you seek in about half the time...which would give you even more time to come up with questions that leave the rest of us scratching our heads...wondering where you dream them up. I do have to say though that they force the rest of to stop short and think about just what we are doing. Keep 'em coming. Valerie has gotten people to think about *how* they do what they do - it's so much easier to *do* something than to explain it to someone else (been there; done that - corporate technical trainer for several years). The other idea would be to equip your laptop to go onto the internet so you could have everything all on one computer...They have these things called modems and wifi cardsand some even have gps.!

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Calenders was [Holiday Reports]
Actually, Susan you can, but it is a bit of a fiddle. I use another program called paperless printer (Can't remember the URL so you need to Google) this enables one to copy to file in many formats including txt, rtf, jpeg pdf etc. It works as a printer (but to file) so it is necessary to set paperless printer as your default printer and then click the Print button and choose your format.

Re: [LegacyUG] picctures
Hi Winifred, I've only played with the photo albums as I'm not one for printing much out and prefer to use another program to produce photos on CDs that can be viewed by family. I have used the Slider Show at Family Reunions. I've thought about, but haven't actually implemented, the idea of having an unlinked dummy person called Interesting Sources Surname to attach representative sources to. These could be produced as a Photo Album and included in a book made in the Publication centre. I think this is the only way to get most source pics at a readable size as well as not breaking copyright for the many sources we download. For example, somewhere I got the idea that you couldn't print all the census images you used but it was OK to print one or two. Cheers, Cathy At 08:09 AM 18/11/2007, you wrote: Thank you Cathy.

Do you use the photo album scrapbook? Do you have success printing larger pictures and Tifs in the album? Does it make a nice scrapbook or album? Or do most of you prefer using another program for a picture album? Is this when you substitute TIFs for JPEGs?

Re: [LegacyUG] I need some help with the merge feature
Hi Michele, 1) Make a normal backup of your family file and call it family filename before merge date eg Smith before merge 20071119 This is so you can play with the merge quite happily knowing that you can restore this file and get back to exactly where you were before you started playing. BTW To learn features it's a good idea to have a test file. You can use the Sample file but I find it easier to have one that I'm more familiar with. My test file began with a section of my tree that I'm familiar with but with major surnames changed so that it's obvious I'm dealing with my test file. eg I've changed my maiden surname of Clark to Scotland because they emigrated from Scotland. 2) Don't bother about the options that are first presented until you're more familiar with merging. Just use the defaults and click Continue 3) On the merge screen when two people are presented, you always end by merging the right person into the left person. That is the resulting person will have the RIN of the current person on the left. If this happens currently to be the higher RIN, you may wish to swap the people over. Otherwise swap the person with the best or most information to the left. 3) You choose which bits of information are kept, which bits are discarded or saved in a different place. If you have different birth dates or places, you click the radio button of the one you want to make the birth date and place. Then you have the option to ignore the other date or make it an Alt Birth event or put it in General Notes. You access these options by clicking the black square next to the label after you've put the radio button next to the one you want to be the main choice. On the Event Tab, you have the option of copying a highlighted event for the right person to the left person. You can also edit events. On the Notes Tab, you can edit notes or add the notes from the right person to the notes of the left person (append) or replace the notes on the left with the notes on the right. Remember in the end the right person is merged to the left. Once you've looked at all the information and made your choices, you click the merge right into left person button. and on to the next person. Hope that helps but really the only thing that clarifies is trying it out. You make that try out stress free by having good backups so it doesn't matter how many mistakes you make while you're learning how it works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search
Hi Barbara, It's hard to say. Which type of search are you using? I usually use the Detailed search. On that you have to make sure you are searching the correct field in the right way. For example, if I want to find all the Ebenezer's in my file, I need to make sure that I'm searching in Given Names and that I'm using a contains search and not equals search. An equals search will find people called Ebenezer but not people called John Ebenezer. A contains search finds both of them. If you are using the Query by Example search form, take a look at the radio buttons at the bottom and choose the relevant one - exact, starts with, anywhere in the field. The detailed search is very powerful when you get used to the combinations but perhaps you need to become more familiar with the different fields and what they contain first.

Re: [LegacyUG] Another merge question
1) Did it find any duplicates? 2) How have you checked that there are no Tag 9's? You could do a Detailed Search for Individuals with Tag 9 equal to tagged. You could make sure that Tag 9 is one of the 3 tags marked for display on the screens and then use the Name List - Search - Tag 9 If neither of those help - we need more information on what you did.

Re: [LegacyUG] I need some help with the merge feature
Save first as recommended. When the first merge choice comes up, there are a few choices of what to. Are they definitely the same person, do this. I like to put the lower RIN on the left. Go to General. Use Click right or left option. If each version has different events; A has 1900 census and B has 1896 Tax List. go to the * tab, which shows both groups. Copy Right All to Left. When everything is moved over, choose Merge Right into left. If not the same person, Choose Skip to Next. If unsure, Choose Skip to Next, and come back for further research later. It will remember the list until told to forget the rest. Good luck. Rich in LA CA --- Michele Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to check my file for possible duplicates.
