RE: [LegacyUG] Now the LDS stuff is turned back on!

2007-12-05 Thread Sherry/Support

Norv,

I suppose it depends on how it's programmed.  I have several genealogy
programs on my computer and only one has multiple files for a particular
database and they're all stored in the same folder.

Legacy is programmed in VB6 over Access. There are multiple *tables* in
*one* Family File but certainly not multiple files for the data *except* for
the usr files, which save settings, the mrg file which saves the merge in
process, the igi file which saves your igi settings and the rgd file which
saves your Research Guidance searches.

Thanks for using Legacy.

Whaa  Your data is saved to the .fdb file as soon as you click on the

- it's saved to the .fdb file that you're working in.  I don't know where
you got the idea that data is scattered all over your computer, but that's
*totally* wrong.
 
Check/repair goes through the file and removes deleted records, checks the

You can do other things on your computer while you're doing these File
Maintenance utilities (as long as the file isnt terribly large and the

serious problems with your Family File.
 
I do recommend doing a backup before running any of the maintenance

I think the large number of e-mails and questions only shows that Legacy has 
a large number of users with lots of good ideas. Family Tree Maker cannot 
compare with Legacy on any level.

[LegacyUG] Personal Historian

2007-12-05 Thread Tom Element

Hello

 

I’m interested in Legacy’s Personal Historian add-on.  As I live in
Australia and my ancestors came, mainly, from England and New Zealand and,
of course, Australia, how much benefit would it be to me in regard to
time-lines, other historical facts, and the like.

 

Are there any Australian, British or New Zealanders who have used this
add-on and how was it for us antipodeans?  Useful?  Good value? Helpful?

 

Thanks for any comments

Tom from Oz

Possibly because it has the fastest growing user base around. There has 
recently been an influx of people who have switched from FTM and many of the 
working details are quite different - not to mention Legacy's flexibility. 
Those of us who have been around for a while are quite used to seeing the names 
of new users crop up!

RE: [LegacyUG] Printing search results

Michele,

Assuming that you compiled your list using Search>Find then once you have 
created the list click "Print" and select "Surname, Given Name" from the list 
at the top and use customise (if necessary) to select "Birth Dt" and "Dth/Bur" 
from the bottom. See how it looks in the Preview and Print. You may also need 
to check your Font Size, Page set-up and Printer set-up

A couple of things to try:  check the column widths for each field and 
try page setup as Landscape instead of Portrait.


I just set up a similar scenario and found I didn't want to alter the 
column widths, but could get the 3 columns on the page if I used 
Landscape orientation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Now the LDS stuff is turned back on!

2007-12-05 Thread Michele Lewis

Ok, I shut down Legacy and just started it back up.  Guess what, my 
bookmarks are back and so is the tag scroll thing at the bottom.  That is 
just too weird.

now the LDS stuff has all been turned back on!  Why is my program become

  Did you export to another family file? These don't export. Check your Legacy

Not sure about the bookmarks, but the tags and LDS temple stuff are 
controlled from the settings. If you've not touched them, I'd suggest 
you shut the machine down and restart it. Then, it the problem persists 
following any rectification, I would be inclined to think that your 
machine had either been infected or is exhibiting the first signs of an 
imminent hardware failure. I would doubt that this is a problem with the 
software.

  As far as I can tell from only quick looks at Ancestry.com there is a big 
difference. To answer your second quesion is easy, Ancestry.co.uk has more or 
less nothing that will help you regarding Ireland - a lot of Irish records 
were, however, destroyed during the first lot of troubles. There are some 
Parish and Probate records but how many I can't tell, I suspect not many from 
Ireland.

  You are best having a look at http://www.censusfinder.com/ireland.htm

Re: [LegacyUG] Residence (not address) as an Event?

2007-12-05 Thread Chris Coward

I recently decided stop using the built in cenus event and instead created 
two new events, Census US and Census UK


For US cenus entries I record:

Description - the age of the person and their relationship
Date:  the official census date
Place: the location
Notes: the enumeration date.

For the sentence I setup:
[HeShe] appeared as [Desc] in the US Federal Census of [Date] for 
[Place][CR][Notes]


So my great-grandfather his 1860 event reads:
Description:  Son, aged 10
Date:  1 Jun 1860
Place: Astoria, Queens, New York, USA
Notes: Recorded 17 Jul 1860

The resulting sentence is:
He appeared as Son, aged 10 in the US Federal Census of 1 Jun 1860 for 
Astoria, Queens, New York, USA.

Recorded 17 Jul 1860

When I'm not being lazy I record the actual address at the time of the 
sentence as a "residence" event.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Residence (not address) as an Event?



In Family Tree Maker, I used the Residence event as the place where I
recorded census information. It came into Legacy like this: For example, I
might have an event named Residence, and in the description it might say
Hickory Township, Carroll County, Arkansas, USA. The date would be the 
year

of the census, say 1850. The Location field is blank.

Should I have a different procedure--is that where the census information
goes, or should I put it somewhere else? If I leave Residence as an Event,
should I delete what is now in Description and put it in the Location 
field

of the event?

Thanks,

Barbara

Depends on the subscription you get. The subscription I have - the World

Subject: [LegacyUG] Easy citations and WorldCat (of libraries and their 
holdings)

Perhaps all of you already know, but I just found out that if you go to 
WorldCat

http://worldcat.org/
(master catalog of virtually all American [& other??] libraries -- at 
least for their books)  and put in your search entry, and find your book, 
then look down and you'll see a line below  the entry and right above the 
line, the words

"Citations: Cite this entry . . . "
If you click on "Cite this entry" it will give you -- well,  here's an 
example (minus the formatting and hence more difficult to read): for a 
book called "The road to Salem."

Citation Styles for "The road to Salem,"

APA

* Fries, A. L. (1944). The road to Salem. Chapel Hill: University of North 
Carolina Press.

Chicago (Author-Date)

* Fries, Adelaide L. 1944. The road to Salem. Chapel Hill: University of 
North Carolina Press.

Harvard

* FRIES, A. L. (1944). The road to Salem. Chapel Hill, University of North 
Carolina Press.

MLA

* Fries, Adelaide L. The Road to Salem. Chapel Hill: University of North 
Carolina Press, 1944.

Turabian

* Fries, Adelaide L. The Road to Salem. Chapel Hill: University of North 
Carolina Press, 1944.

And, of course, you can just copy and paste.

Word of warning, if you're citing a book that's gone thru multiple 
editions, be sure to find an example of the same edition you used, before 
you copy the citation.

I don't know which style (if any) is recommended by the Nat'l Gen Soc., 
but when I was in graduate school in history (40 years ago), Turabian was 
the standard.

In the English Dept., MLA was th standard.

Incidentally, I've just discovered World Cat, which has all sorts of neat 
things to aid the researcher (once you've registered and signed in -- no 
fee).
You can keep a list of all the books that interest you-- just by clicking 
them --AND you can organize them into various lists -- so far I've just 
got two lists:  L-SIDE [maternal] and P-SIDE [paternal -- my maiden name 
begins with a 'P'].  You just click the book, choose the list -- and there 
it is!

Also I've found WorldCat to be VERY speedy (I have DSL connection to the 
I'net).

In addition, under the prevously-mentioned line, you have an opportunity 
to enter your zipcode, and then if you click on Libraries, WorldCat gives 
you a list of the libraries that have that particular book -- arranged in 
order according to how close they are to your zip code! (I just put in a 
particular Moravian diary and got a list of 455 libraries!! the nearest 
one 42 miles away.)

So you could also have lists divided into libraries, or locations, etc.

So if you haven't already used it, give it a whirl. It is VERY 
user-friendly.

Oh, I looked recently for a fairly rare book and found thru World Cat that 
HeritageQuestOnline has it.

I'm not sure of the extent to which WorldCat has digitized books but I 
THINK I read that this is in the works.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] All relatives show in Name List 

 

Hi Larry, 

 

"For some reason I've not been getting any Legacy messages. That is why 

I have posted more than once." 

 

You need to get that sorted! You seem to be still subscribed, since 

Your post went to the list. But if you're not getting the mail, you 

Need to find out why. I also have a Yahoo address subscribed to this 

List, and it is receiving the mail fine. But you should check your Bulk 

Folder to see if the posts are going there, and also check any filters 

You have set in case the mail is being diverted inadvertently. If you 

Download the Yahoo mail to your own computer then you need to check both 

The Yahoo web interface and your email program. Then talk to Legacy if 

You're still in the dark. 

 

In the meantime, I'm sending this directly to you as well as to the list 

So that you see my reply, but you need to be watching the archives if 

You want help while you're not receiving the list mail. :-) 

 

"I did read the archived messages and my problem is I have many lines 

That are not my lines. That is the reason I wanted to mark the name list." 

 

On 02 Dec, Ron posted "Have you tried right clicking on the tag boxes in 

Family View and selecting "entire family line"?" (Subject: Marking all 

Relation in Name List). 

 

On 03 Dec Cathy posted "You can tag everyone related by using Advanced 

Tagging and using the Entire Line options in either Ancestor or 

Descendant options. If this tags too many (it will include the ancestors 

Of in-laws etc if they are in your file), then go to the earliest 

Couple/person in the lines you want included and tag descendants only." 

(Subject: All relatives show in Name List) 

 

Do neither of these suggestions help? Have you tried them? If you did, 

What was not satisfactory about the methods? Chances are, if you are 

Wanting something that doesn't entirely fit into a simple category - 

Like "direct ancestors" - then you are going to have to do a little 

Customisation of your tagging. But if these methods are of no help to 

You, we need to know more about *why* they're no good before we can help 

You more. 

 

Hope this helps. :-) 

 

Kind Regards, 

Wendy Howard

PS apparently my earlier post to the list was not in plain text. 

Highly embarrassing since I remind others to send in that format - my 

Apologies to everyone. Have no idea how it happened, since I haven't 

Changed any settings. But perhaps something has changed in Thunderbird 

That I'm not aware of, so have set this post to plain text before 

Sending to make sure it stays that way.

Perhaps all of you already know, but I just found
out that if you go to
WorldCat
http://worldcat.org/
(master catalog of virtually all American [&
other??] libraries -- at least
for their books)  and put in your search entry, and
find your book, then
look down and you'll see a line below  the entry and
right above the line,
the words
"Citations: Cite this entry . . . "
If you click on "Cite this entry" it will give you
-- well,  here's an
example (minus the formatting and hence more
difficult to read): for a book
called "The road to Salem."

Citation Styles for "The road to Salem,"

APA

* Fries, A. L. (1944). The road to Salem. Chapel
Hill: University of North
Carolina Press.

Chicago (Author-Date)

* Fries, Adelaide L. 1944. The road to Salem. Chapel
Hill: University of
North Carolina Press.

Harvard

* FRIES, A. L. (1944). The road to Salem. Chapel
Hill, University of North
Carolina Press.

MLA

* Fries, Adelaide L. The Road to Salem. Chapel Hill:
University of North
Carolina Press, 1944.

Turabian

* Fries, Adelaide L. The Road to Salem. Chapel Hill:
University of North
Carolina Press, 1944.

And, of course, you can just copy and paste.

Word of warning, if you're citing a book that's gone
thru multiple editions,
be sure to find an example of the same edition you
used, before you copy the
citation.

I don't know which style (if any) is recommended by
the Nat'l Gen Soc., but
when I was in graduate school in history (40 years
ago), Turabian was the
standard.

 In the English Dept., MLA was th standard.

Incidentally, I've just discovered World Cat, which
has all sorts of neat
things to aid the researcher (once you've registered
and signed in -- no
fee).
You can keep a list of all the books that interest
you-- just by clicking
them --AND you can organize them into various lists
-- so far I've just got
two lists:  L-SIDE [maternal] and P-SIDE [paternal
-- my maiden name begins
with a 'P'].  You just click the book, choose the
list -- and there it is!

Also I've found WorldCat to be VERY speedy (I have
DSL connection to the
I'net).

In addition, under the prevously-mentioned line, you
have an opportunity to
enter your zipcode, and then if you click on
Libraries, WorldCat gives you a
list of the libraries that have that particular book
-- arranged in order
according to how close they are to your zip code! (I
just put in a
particular Moravian diary and got a list of 455
libraries!! the nearest one
42 miles away.)

So you could also have lists divided into libraries,
or locations, etc.

So if you haven't already used it, give it a whirl.
It is VERY
user-friendly.

Oh, I looked recently for a fairly rare book and
found thru World Cat that
HeritageQuestOnline has it.

I'm not sure of the extent to which WorldCat has
digitized books but I THINK
I read that this is in the works.

RE: [LegacyUG] Photo selection

I rather think I do, as I have some quite sophisticated image programs (and, 
more importantly, know how to use them). But for many purposes the simplest 
ways are often the best.
