Re: [LegacyUG] One last question about place names
I have made it ', Dorchester County, Maryland Colony, British North America' because it sorts all the Marylands together in the sorting options, instead of clumping all the 'Colony of' together. Personal choice, probably not according to the 'rules'. I used to use 'America' but went with the style mentioned by my cousins from the British Empire on this list. That also made the Canadian and Caribean locations group together, as they were treated at times as 'The Colonies'.

I would create CensusFrench or CensusDanish, or use the 'foreign word' as the Event name. Then it will print the sentence you created in the language you wish. You could also use duplicates in various languages to print the data in various matched versions.

Re: [LegacyUG] IntelliShare
Somewhat familiar with IntelliShare. My sister and I use the same database, doing a merge several times a year. It is marvelous for reducing the confusion and effort of merging files from another Legacy file. The IntelliShare number is internal to Legacy, automatic, behind-the-scenes. I don't think there's any way of seeing it unless you know Access. I think it is unique to Legacy and no other gene database. To my knowledge, it is not exported with a Gedcom, only with Legacy. And it stays with each person record, whether you export your entire file or only a subset. I don't think it has any intelligent information about multimedia. Rather, its purpose is to recognize that John Doe in one file = John Doe in another file, even if there has been a name change, parents change, etc. Mike Michael J Method family research of: Method, Feehily, Fredrick, Herzog, tenEyck, Belsley In a message dated 11/23/2007 1:15:01 P.M.

Thank you Cathy, I've been reading my manual since my post, so your response is very helpful. I think I've had it right in my file all along, but when I read some of the posts, I became a little doubtful. Thanks again. Jim On Nov 23, 2007 9:27 PM, Cathy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Jim, Legacy provides a place for the town information of a location - the Place fields. These are stored in the Master Location list. It also provides a place for the specific street address/institution name etc - the Address. You can add an address for any or all events as well as a current residence address - so they can be confusing. More confusing is that when you type in the Name field of an Address, it doesn't suggest from the existing Master Address list. When you start typing in a location in the place fields, you do get suggestions from the Master Location list. This difference in the way it operates means that it is very easy to duplicate addresses. To avoid duplicates, you need to click the Address List button and choose the one you want from there. Having said all that, I add the address bit to the location and rarely use the Address fields except for the Current Residence Address. I don't like the way the address prints in brackets after the location in reports. I enter locations consistently from the smallest unit to the largest, always ending with the country. I sort my Master Location list from right to left so its easy to find all locations in the same town or state or whatever.

At any rate, I just imported a very small .gedcom (consisting of one couple and their ten children -- no spouses of children) into my main database and performed the necessary merges with no problems. I do want to add a source to show that the mother's name and all the children's names were found in the father's will.

So, I thought Aha, I will import the .gedcom and then use Advanced Tagging and Advanced Sourcing to add the source to the Name field in the children's names. And SO after the import I checked the Name List and removed all tags from the entire database, as I didn't need any old ones.

Then to check to see whether the family had somehow gotten tagged, I clicked View Names and, contrary to what I wanted, NONE of that Family had ANY tags on Tag 4 (Tags 1,4, and 9 were shown) -- or anywhere else!

If the individual has more than one spouse, you can select one of them or all of them by clicking the appropriate button on the right side.

Re: [LegacyUG] One last question about place names
Not British Colonies certainly. Maryland would probably do as the US address structure only applies since independence as far as I know. After all, there were plenty of other places which were British Colonies at that time of which the various West Indies were probably the most important from an economic point of view. After the sugar trade, the spices and textiles from India and the far East were next in the pecking order with tobacco and cotton fairly low in the priorities.

RE: [LegacyUG] Short place names
Michele, Regarding the way in which a location prints in reports: one has the option of using the long or short version. When I publish locations I always use the long version as for eg. your Purvis, Lamar Co, MS would be meaningless to me in the UK. I might guess that it is the USA, but if I didn't know better MS could be Mississippi, Missouri or Massachusetts, and for all I know other places as well. Incidentally, for the time before the creation of USA, I use America. Whether that is accurate or not I don't actually know, but we certainly didn't have England or Great Britain as part of the Location/Address.

Instead of entering May Elizabeth (Mayme) Scruggs (To convert: Use Search and Replace on the Given Names to change ( to and then ) to ) Enter given names May Elizabeth Mayme The advantage of this entry style over adding it to the AKAs is that Legacy can pick up the Quoted Name in Narrative. In the Report Options, on the Format Tab, you'll find options three options for how names appear in reports. 1) remove Quoted name - so that when the whole name is given you get May Elizabeth Scruggs 2) use quoted name in narrative so that it will read May Elizabeth Scruggs was born on Mayme married ... 3) use full given names in narrative so that it will read May Elizabeth Scruggs was born on May Elizabeth married ... Obviously you only choose one of 2 or 3.

You are far more familiar with the best setup. What I had changed recently when we collected a few Spam messages was that anyone new who subscribed, had to have their messages (when or if sent) checked ie moderated (approved) before the message could be put up on the list. This could continue until we decided that they should be un-moderated. All the spam that we have had so far has come from people who have subscribed and then posted their messages. As far as I know, spam (or anything else) cannot be listed unless the person has subscribed to the mailing list. - a Yahoo rule? That meant messages were checked, not subscribers. If they were spam then the subscriber was banned before the message is put up on the list. We may be aware of most people who subscribe but not always and I am not sure how you would check them.
