Re: [LegacyUG] The problem is fixed

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

Yes, IMHO very few people want it. For myself, when
adding continuously for an hour, I run a backup. But I
might be working to do lists, or transcribing a bunch
of wills (slow typer) so not need to backup until a
five or ten hour stint. Creating a running backup
would be done with a time range in place. That would
mean (for instance) a new backup each hour on the
hour. I would need to eventually delete each of them
by hand. I used to backup EVERY time before I turned
of the computer, but now consider how much stuff I put
in. That may be lazy, but thats what I do.

Re: [LegacyUG] German, British, Dutch census returns -- off-topic???

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

Yes there is, but I forgot where it is. I have created
a template for each of the US Census years, with the
official date ranges added into the Publication Facts.
I then take the actual date (when shown) as the Event
date. SO I show both dates somwhere, and compare those
with a large difference.
It is also available in Thorndale and Dollarhides Map
Guide of the US Census pages xvi - xix. The book
should be in most US libraries with a genealogy
section.  Good Luck. Rich in LA CA

Re: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

[Bruce Jones]

I don't know if this helps, but, if you don't want ANY of the
"Baptism" events, edit the event from the master lists and change the
event name to "Christening".  Would that help?

RE: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

It is NO different, but some researchers, a lot of
them NEWBIES, find the IGI and give it as much or more
credability than hearsay or undocumented notes. By the
time they understand what IGI actually is, they have
wasted a lot of time and money. SO I and others here
will continue to mention this for each flock of
newbies.

If you mean in the Individual Box, it's under Customize/Colors.  Next to

At the very top of the screen on the address bar (the same line where
FILE 
EDIT ADD VIEW are)  Click SEARCH then at the very bottom you will see
SEARCH 
THE IGI WEBSITE.

The first time you do this it will pop up a box about logging with your
name 
and password but you can bypass that.  It is a free registration on the
LDS 
website but it isn't required to register to use the IGI.

You can search one person at a time or your entire file at once (which I

don't recommend unless you have a really fast connection!)  Then it will

tell you if you have any matches.  You can look through the matches one
at a 
time and compare the info to what you have.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI

[Michele Lewis]

At the very top of the screen on the address bar (the same line where FILE 
EDIT ADD VIEW are)  Click SEARCH then at the very bottom you will see SEARCH 
THE IGI WEBSITE.


The first time you do this it will pop up a box about logging with your name 
and password but you can bypass that.  It is a free registration on the LDS 
website but it isn't required to register to use the IGI.


You can search one person at a time or your entire file at once (which I 
don't recommend unless you have a really fast connection!)  Then it will 
tell you if you have any matches.  You can look through the matches one at a 
time and compare the info to what you have.

Ok then!  How about adding one IGI source through Legacy and then use
that
as a template to go in and reformat the ones you already have.  The only

thing that you will need to change is the microfilm number.

Thanks for your kind reply Michele.

Un fortunately the IGI information I have is already in Legacy which I



am wanting to tidy this up first.

However I will be adding all the CULLODEN references from India later
on so your help will be very useful - so many thanks again.

Valerie,
I use the IGI as a source and have no problems doing that :)  I use it



as a temporary source.  I need to know WHERE I got the info.  Let's
say it is a
marriage.  I find it on the IGI.  I add it to my file and let Legacy
fill
out the source for me (it will do this if you search the IGI from

within

the
program).  Then I just make myself a to-do item to write off to the
county
to get a copy of the license itself to to order the microfilm and just
copy
it off of microfilm.  It is no big deal.   The IGI is a great tool :)

So my advice to you is to search the IGI from WITHIN LEGACY (hit
search on
the very top line of the address bar, then hit search IGI).   If you

use


anything from the IGI the program will automatically format the IGI
source correctly and insert it in every area where you used the IGI.
It is a very
handy thing!

[LegacyUG] Individual's Information Screen

[Jim Keener]

I know the field names are supposed to be turned blue when there is a source
entered for that field, but I just noticed that my field names are now
black, regardless of whether there is a source listed for the event or not.
I've searched through my manual and online help files and I can't figure out
what has happened.  I'm sure the problem is probably in the customize
section, but I can't seem to find it.  Can someone please help?

Thanks to everyone who posts here.  I love it.  Rarely post, read every day.

[LegacyUG] How to reuse existing sources that are *almost* what you need (was: How would you source this in Legacy?)

[Wendy Howard]

Hi Pat,

"When you put so much info into the detail, how do you avoid a lot of 
retyping when a week  or an hour hence you need to cite the same source 
with some minor variations?"


I would copy the source back into the Source Clipboard, make the desired 
changes, then attach the "new" source to the item that relates to it.


If you open the Assigned Sources for an individual (the books icon) you 
will see at the bottom left an icon that looks like two sheets of 
paper.  Hover your cursor over that icon, and it will tell you its 
purpose is to "Copy Source to Clipboard".


Highlight the source you want to reuse, then click on that icon.  A 
message will come up (if there's anything already in the Source 
Clipboard) asking whether to overwrite the existing source, or append 
this new one to it.  Every case I've had so far I've wanted to replace 
the existing.


Then open up the Source Clipboard (click on the upwards-facing arrow or 
press <1>*) to edit it - you're only changing what is in the Source 
Clipboard, not what has already been assigned to your data.


Now it is ready to be assigned to your data.

Don't forget also, to use your mouse/keyboard to copy/cut/paste for you 
instead of retyping things that are already visible on your screen, 
whether it's in your Legacy database, a web page, a document someone has 
sent you, or whatever.  If you don't know how to do this, there are some 
instructions on my web site at 
http://www.geocities.com/wendy_m_howard/How-to.htm  It's a very handy 
tool that I use many times each day - including for inserting my 
signature that you see below, and all URLs that you see in my posts.


* see "shortcut keys" in the Help files for more keyboard shortcuts.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

Re: [LegacyUG] Photo selection

Isn't there already a 'sourcing option' for pictures?  Do you mean 
linking pictures to sources?  It's there.  Master Sources or Source 
Detail.  Accessible from the Master Source List or Individual Assigned 
Sources window.

You can also use Alt - PrtSc to capture just the topmost window, instead
of the entire screen.

Why have a separate program for screen shots?  a UK Keyboard ( at 
least)
has a "PrtScr" key which copies the screen into the Windows 
clipboard from

which one can paste into paint or your favourite image editor.

Re: [LegacyUG] German, British, Dutch census returns -- off-topic???

[Wendy Howard]

Hi Pat,

How to record census data in Legacy is on-topic for this list.  Finding 
the data itself isn't.


Try joining a Rootsweb list (http://lists.rootsweb.com/) for a state or 
country where you might expect to find your people listed in census 
data, and ask there.  Finding the answer for one state might also tell 
you the answer for other states - if not, find another list that covers 
another area of interest to you.  There are also lists at Rootsweb that 
deal only with censuses, so try searching for those as well.


As for Google, try searching on "census data" (without the quotes) for a 
start, and perhaps include a state of interest to you, and see what you 
get.  I'm sure you'd find something of interest with that search.


Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

Extreme? splitter

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How would you source this in Legacy?



Michele:

I think that sourcing it as a "cemetery survey" would actually be a case 
of

fairly extreme splitting.  If you wanted to really lump, you could have a
Master Source called something like "Burial Records" and use that for all
cemetery listings whether found online, by actual visits, or in
publications.  In that case, there would be little or no information about
the Master Source itself; all the data would be entered at the Source 
Detail

screen and yes, you would include the URL since it would theoretically be
required for you or someone else to find the listing again (although in 
ten
years or so, who knows?)  Another alternative would be to use 
Interments.com

as a Master Source, treating it almost as if it were a book, list the site
data with the master source, and attach each individual burial record
through the Source Detail screen.

There are lots and lots of  "right" ways to slice the Master Source List
cake, even after you've decided whether to split or lump.  The hard part 
is

deciding on an over all scheme.

Cathy --

Thanks a million for this -- it took me about 3 minutes to generate a 17

ca 600 people out of 4500!!

I think they're primarily from files originally imported a decade or more 
ago from my old PAF 2 file, when I had to put sources in notes and it was 
all such a bother.  And I had thought perhaps I wouldn't have ANY!!!


Ghastly!

Currently, only partially.

You can find everyone who has no sources at all attached by highlighting 
all sources in the Master Source list and clicking Show List. Tag this 
group and then search for everyone without this tag number.


They have no sources.
You can then use Advanced Sourcing to assign a particular source - read 
the tabs carefully and make sure you have a backup before using Advanced 
Sourcing.


More Source searching options have been requested so maybe more will be 
possible with Legacy 7.

Is there some reason Legacy doesn't have an automatic, perhaps temporary,

Michele,

5 hours is a long time without a back-up and I can appreciate your concern, 
I back up every hour or so. In case you haven't yet found it, you can 
customise the tool bar by right clicking on it, you can then drag the 
"Back-up" icon onto the top bar and it will then appear on the tool bar.


BTW - it's good fun to debate stuff and there is always the chance we may 
learn something!

All I did was restart the program and all of the problems completely
disappeared. I guess I should have tried that first :) However, I am sorry
that my panic sparked this volatile debate on how the Legacy database, 
does

and does not work!

All I know is Legacy is 100% better than FTM ever was and I have never
regretted switching over. An occasional glitch is to be expected. I always
keep my database backed up every day in several locations so I am not the
least bit worried about losing any data. My concern was the inconvenience
of it all :) I was loading a ton of new data that I had collected and had
been working on it for about 5 hours so when all of a sudden I lost my
little tag thinggie at the bottom that lets me scroll throw the tagged 
folks

(the ones I had tagged to get this data in) I panicked. That is when I
noticed that my bookmarks were also gone (the entire bookmark line. It
wasn't like just my 3 bookmarks were gone, the bookmark feature was gone).
And then when I went to options to see if I could fix it I noticed that 
all

of the LDS stuff had check marks by it and they were all unchecked.

After 5 hours of working my nerves were a bit thin :) :) :) I don't know
why on these mailing lists (certainly this isn't the only one) some people
feel like they have to argue about stuff.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

Sorry, after I wrote it I wondered if I would confuse people! On the
Individual's Information page if there is a blank field for Chr but in
the events/facts field there is a baptism event, it is possible, by
right clicking the options tab to be given the suggestion to swap the
baptism event to the chr field. If you do that, the details move to the
Chr field below the born field, but the event/fact designator is still
there as baptism but with no further information. It is then necessary
to delete the event.

I think all this started when I originally moved all data from an old
Reunion file to Legacy and, for some reason, the baptism event wasn't
merged at the outset with the Christening field - leaving a lot of
baptisms in the events field.

Does this now make sense?

I have a large number of Baptisms in the Events field.



Understood


  

When dealing with each individual I can swap the information for the Christening
field, but this involves a lot of mouse work as I then have to delete
the baptism event.



What sort of information and where is it, and if you are swapping from the 
Christening Event to the Baptism Event why are you deleting the latter?


  

I have a long list where there is a baptism in the
events field, but is there any way I can swap all of them with one
action rather than each one individually, please?



Swap what from what to what ( eg. the field name, the information)?

Re: [LegacyUG] Photo selection

Haven't been picking up email the last few days,
but it seems to me the simplest way to go from screen shot to Legacy 
database would be from Prt Scrn (or with Alt), Pasting as .jpg into MS 
Paint, and saving to your Legacy picture Folder, and using the crop function 
in Legacy.


I hope I'm right in thinking that Leg 7 is including a sourcing options for 
pictures??

You can also use Alt - PrtSc to capture just the topmost window, instead
of the entire screen.

Why have a separate program for screen shots?  a UK Keyboard ( at least)
has a "PrtScr" key which copies the screen into the Windows clipboard 
from

which one can paste into paint or your favourite image editor.

Providing that Surety Level (on the Source Detail Page) is used. Legacy

ignore it as a source.

If I had a relative show up on the IGI in Outer Mongolia there is no
possiblity whatsoever of me ever going there to check it out and to
ignore it could conceivably cause somebody (even a descedant) an awful
lot of wasted time. Of course the converse could also be true - hence
the surety level helping them to make the descision!

This same argument also applies to Indexes. With a large database it

Re: [LegacyUG] German, British, Dutch census returns -- off-topic???

[Pat Hickin]

Thanks, Chris, I've been careless about both dates -- I guess someday I'll 
get the official date AND go thru all the census returns I've copied and get 
the enumeration dates -- for now I'll just try to include those from now on.


Is there a website that lists the enum dates for ALL the US censuses.

All the ancestors I've identified were on this side of the Atlantic before 
the Am Rev.
To what extent are there extant censuses for the British Isles, Holland, and 
the Germanies before that date?

To what extent digitized and census online?
Are there good websites for locating them??

I really can't think how to Google for this info efficiently!!

Thanks, for any help

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.

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?

[LegacyUG] Adding a source from the clipboard ?

[Valerie Garton]

Possibly I should have done it differently but this my situation now:

I have entered 4 generations of my family from a manuscript and put the
full details of this source in my Master list.

I now want to add this source to all of these people.

I can select the MS in my clipboard and then go in to everyone's
individual screen and press - for each person and save each person.

Is there a shorter/quicker way please like using the + ?

Ok then!  How about adding one IGI source through Legacy and then use
that 
as a template to go in and reformat the ones you already have.  The only

thing that you will need to change is the microfilm number.

I use the IGI as a source and have no problems doing that :)  I use it
as a

a

on

anything from the IGI the program will automatically format the IGI

RE: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

Elizabeth,

Thank you for the clarification - got it in 2 :-)

I've had a close look at this and I am afraid I cannot see a way of doing what 
you wish, not even bulk deleting the records after the transfer have been made. 
Sorry.

Valerie,
I use the IGI as a source and have no problems doing that :)  I use it as a 
temporary source.  I need to know WHERE I got the info.  Let's say it is a 
marriage.  I find it on the IGI.  I add it to my file and let Legacy fill

it off of microfilm.  It is no big deal.   The IGI is a great tool :)


So my advice to you is to search the IGI from WITHIN LEGACY (hit search on 
the very top line of the address bar, then hit search IGI).   If you use 
anything from the IGI the program will automatically format the IGI source 
correctly and insert it in every area where you used the IGI.  It is a very 
handy thing!

RE: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI

[Valerie Garton]

I am starting off with the IGI as my first Master Source so I cannot
relate it to " any different than a family member saying that something
happened on such-and-such date ".

I appreciate your reply but it did not answer my question. It is very
difficult learning a new program, particularly one as complex as Legacy
which I love, and helpful and specific answers are very much
appreciated.

I have however been very much helped by other members to whom I say
thank you - you know who you are.

I am fully aware of what the IGI is and the need, as in all indexes, to
go to the original. It does however have the advantage of putting you in
a place and time to start looking much better than time for ever in a
whole wide world.

Why?  Why is the IGI any different than a family member saying that
something happened on such-and-such date?  List the event as you would
any other bit of information and put the IGI as a source.  If this is a
birth record, then when you get true information from a birth record (if
possible) then it gets added as a source for that information.  You can
always swap Alt Birth with the Birth information, for example.

I'd probably commit suicide before using the IGI as a Master Source! 
I add an event to the person called Verify and list all IGI info in that
event as a task to be verified. Indexes (of any kind) are not sources
but merely clues and hints to the original documents which ARE sources
and which I put in my master Source List.

Yes I know it is my list and I can do it any way I like so long as

Re: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

[Michele Lewis]

To be honest, I have never really worried about it.  I have a few 
Christening dates (my mother's German family) and few Baptismal dates.  I 
left the Christening line on the family group sheet view only because I 
couldn't think of anything I really wanted to display there.  I enter the 
Christening dates right there.  For baptisms I enter it as an event.  I do 
it this way because that is how Legacy is set up.  However, you can change 
things around easily.  You can do the Christening as an event if you need 
more room to document information (which is how you do Baptisms) and just 
leave the Christening line blank on the Family View.  And, you can just get 
rid of that entire line if you don't like looking at it.  :) :) :)  I can 
see where it is a problem with importing a file though :( :( :(

[LegacyUG] Publish your Family Tree

[George Davidson]

For those who are interested in publishing a book of your
family tree, LuLu Publishing is really worth checking into.

Website: http://www.lulu.com/en/products/

 

I published a test family tree file and am very impressed
with the system, speed and quality they produce.
I received my review test copy yesterday and was surprised
at the quality (paperback book option).

 

I will now create family tree files for various family tree
lines and be able to publish them for family members as
gifts.
The good part is that your LuLu files are always kept on
file to "Revise" any time you want.  You may keep them as
private files
or make them available to sell to recoup your expenses.

 

Another Legacy member suggested LuLu several days ago, thank
you very much.  I have checked out several self publish
sites
only to be dissatisfied with the options and cost.  




Sincerely,
George Davidson

the denomination). Those that believe in Christening and infant

that believe in baptism after the age of acountability believe that 
you have to make a conscious decision to be saved and that baptism is 
a show of obedience and the act itself doesn't save you.


I realize this is a VERY short explanation and there are many varables 
but I was trying to get it in a nutshell for Mary (for example, if you 
do not convert to Catholism until later in life it is different).  
This is a very hot topic I know and I hope it doesn't spark a fight :)

What's the difference between Christening and Baptism?  Thought that
they were the same, just different names used by different religions.

I have a large number of Baptisms in the Events field.


Understood


When dealing with each individual I can swap the information for the

Christening

field, but this involves a lot of mouse work as I then have to delete
the baptism event.


What sort of information and where is it, and if you are swapping from
the Christening Event to the Baptism Event why are you deleting the
latter?


I have a long list where there is a baptism in the
events field, but is there any way I can swap all of them with one
action rather than each one individually, please?


Swap what from what to what ( eg. the field name, the information)?

RE: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI

[M. Brenzel]

Why?  Why is the IGI any different than a family member saying that
something happened on such-and-such date?  List the event as you would
any other bit of information and put the IGI as a source.  If this is a
birth record, then when you get true information from a birth record (if
possible) then it gets added as a source for that information.  You can
always swap Alt Birth with the Birth information, for example.

Yes I know it is my list and I can do it any way I like so long as

Re: [LegacyUG] Capitalizing problem

[JLB]

In the Master Location List, you can click on the one you don't like and 
go to Edit, and change it.  Since I use city/state/ country format, 
Germany by itself is preceded by two commas, such as
", , Germany"  therefore it would not be confused by "Germantown, 
county, state".

Re: [LegacyUG] Merge unequal names not detected

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

Do you mean that it merged them automatically to the
left one, or that it left the two unmatched as
different and went past them? The first is real bad,
and the second is only annoying(IMHO). I had about two
hundred of the second, and had to FIND them using the
merge the Manual Merge style. I do that with the
nobility branches of the family, with the various
titles held by the same person, and also the spanish
branch and the double surnames. You are not alone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

[Hope Bagot Bees]

Sorry, after I wrote it I wondered if I would confuse people!  On the 
Individual's Information page if there is a blank field for Chr but in 
the events/facts field there is a baptism event, it is possible, by 
right clicking the options tab to be given the suggestion to swap the 
baptism event to the chr field.  If you do that, the details move to the 
Chr field below the born field, but the event/fact designator is still 
there as baptism but with no further information.  It is then necessary 
to delete the event.


I think all this started when I originally moved all data from an old 
Reunion file to Legacy and, for some reason, the baptism event wasn't 
merged at the outset with the Christening field - leaving a lot of 
baptisms in the events field.


Does this now make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

[Michele Lewis]

Not exactly the same.  A Christening is seen in Roman Catholism (and related 
denominations) and is done when the child is an infant.  Baptism is seen in 
protestant faiths and can occur either when you are a infant/child or 
sometime after the age of accountability (depends on the denomination). 
Those that believe in Christening and infant baptism USUALLY believe this is 
a requirement for salvation.  Those that believe in baptism after the age of 
acountability believe that you have to make a conscious decision to be saved 
and that baptism is a show of obedience and the act itself doesn't save you.


I realize this is a VERY short explanation and there are many varables but I 
was trying to get it in a nutshell for Mary (for example, if you do not 
convert to Catholism until later in life it is different).  This is a very 
hot topic I know and I hope it doesn't spark a fight :)

Because Germany is indexed before GERMANY.  As soon as Germany is displayed hit the drop down arrow 
at the end of the field and you will probably see GERMANY listed just under Germany.  As stated 
above you can merge the two into the capitalized one or leave it as is and select which you prefer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photo family tree [was Is this possible with Legacy?]

[Susan Daily]

Kathy,
The  photo family tree in Legacy is just for ancestors. You have a few other
options. You can do is a Family Group Sheet that includes just the pictures,
making sure you uncheck everything else in the report. It will not include
grandchildren though.

Or do a Descendants Chart. Be sure to include pictures. I would take out
most information like marriage date. It isn't pretty, but they do show up in
chart format.

[LegacyUG] Baptism events in wrong field

[Hope Bagot Bees]

I have a large number of Baptisms in the Events field.  When dealing 
with each individual I can swap the information for the Christening 
field, but this involves a lot of mouse work as I then have to delete 
the baptism event.  I have a long list where there is a baptism in the 
events field, but is there any way I can swap all of them with one 
action rather than each one individually, please?

[LegacyUG] Capitalizing problem

[Elizabeth Cunningham]

When I type addresses, I normally type the name of the country not 
America in caps -- as GERMANY.  When I was entering an zncestor who is 
from Germany,  (and about whom I know little else) the autofill part 
came up with "Germantown", which is where I live had have addresses.  
Continuting to type GERMANY left everything in small letters "Germany".  
Does anybody know how to get past this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Is this possible with Legacy?

[JLB]

I think the Legacy trees only go up from one person, not down from 2.   
However, you could cut and paste pictures in FastStone Viewer, or Adobe 
or what have you, to create your own.  Pick a tree picture for a 
background and then layer people on top of it.  Pretty easy to do.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merge unequal names not detected

[Cathy]

Hi Ron,

In the short term, use the Edit Left to edit the name on the left to 
what you want and then merge.

For the long term, submit a bug report.

When merging two records where the given names and surname are the 
same except the case, the difference is not detected and therefore a 
choice as to which one to keep is not offered.  Example:  LaVern 
Taylor is not the same as Lavern Taylor but when these two records 
are brought up for the merge, the names are not considered to be 
different so the user can not chose to keep one or the other but 
will only get the one from the "left" side of the merge.
