Re: [LegacyUG] Finding placenames and associated family files
Well I hadn't noticed that. It does give you the main events but for others it just says Event. Guess I too quickly turn it the list into a Search List.

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding placenames and associated family files
Cathy I am not sure that this would be the most effective way of finding what the OP asked for, as it will return all the individuals who have *any* connection with that location, and not just residence. For example, I have never lived in the location where I was born (I am not counting 3 days in the hospital), my uncle died in a location where he never lived (and no days in hospital). Provided all addresses where someone lived are entered into the Residence Event then I would use Search>Find>Detailed Search and look for an individual where the Residence Event Contains the town/city and tag these. If, like I do, one includes the residence when married in the Marriage Events then repeat the search, adding to the the existing list and then tag.

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding placenames and associated family files
Hi Ron, I suspect few users of Legacy are as rigorous in entering Residence events for everyone. I'd never find everyone associated with a place your way. I know I rarely enter residence events for any other than direct line ancestors. For others in the 19th century, most of my information comes from censuses and it seems to me to be doubling up to enter both a Census event and a residence event when the census is the only source. However, I understood the original OP wanting people in anyway associated with a particular place as someone was going there to do research. That would include birth or death even if the person was only there for a few hours.

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding placenames and associated family files
Ah, Cathy. Now I understand why we have had similar discussions in the past. I do not use Census Events and *only* use censuses as Sources for other events eg Residence, Name, Occupation etc etc. Hence I have these events for *all* my individuals - if applicable.

Valerie Garton wrote: I would like to export a file from Legacy and then import it in to Access. Could some one please give me directions. Again you have failed to state the objective you are seeking. Do you want a small piece of your file exported or the entire thing? Is there specific information you wish to extract? We can not help if we do not know what your goal is. Your entire file can be opened in Access but you MUST work only with a COPY. In windows explorer, browse to the location where you keep your family file. (Use your file name in place of filename.fdb) Right click on the file (filename.fdb) and select copy. Then press CTRL and V together. You should then have a file named "copy of filename.fdb". When you open Access select to open files of type *.* all files. You will then be able to see your file (copy of filename.fdb) and open it directly in Access.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census vs Residence Events
I also do not use Census events. I list all items from a census to appropriate events: name, residence, birth, occupation, education, real estate, etc and use the census as a source. So if I see a residence for 1920, for example, I can easily see what the source is, whether it's a census or directory or whatever. Each person on each census gets all items of info entered. Perhaps I'm a little pedantic. For what it's worth, I enter a residence event as: Event: Residence Desc: with his father in law at 232 Washington Ave. in Date: Jan 1, 1920 Place: Kingston, Ulster Co., New York, USA Then I source that event: Master Source: US Federal Census Detail: 1920 NY, Ulster, ED 64, sheet 4b, line 13 I copy the residence event with its source, and use it for each member of the household. I use the line number of the head of the household for each member. If I have used a relationship such as "with his father in law" I change that to read "with her father" or for children, "with his/her grandfather".

RE: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access
Valerie, As has been advised by others, make a copy of your family file and work only with the copy in Access. (And for added safety make a backup of your family file before your begin.) Realistically and historically, we who work in Legacy Technical Support aren't be able to repair the messes that a couple of users have made of their family files when they have tried to do update queries or make other edits using Access. There is another option to consider: create a CSV file from your Legacy family file and open it as a spreadsheet in Excel. 1. To do this, open the Name List and click the Print button. 2. For the Report Destination select CSV file in the lower right corner. 3. There are all kinds of options for customizing the CSV report, so please click on Help for the details.

[LegacyUG] Source Problem
I need some guidance. I renamed about 100 sources in an attempt to organize my sources in some logical fashion by adding a 4 digit number to the title.I 'edited' the source in the event portion and prefixed the source with the number. Why wouldn't the new 4-digit source name appear in the end notes? Some of the 4-digit ones appear, but I can't figure what I have done to foul up just some of them. BTW I do have the original data intact so I could revert to it if needed. Any ideas? I need some help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Problem
Disregard - I finally figured out what was being posited for source and detail controls. I was attempting to add the number as a prefix to teh source title. e.g. 9100 Smith Genealogy. All I needed to do was to add the master source number as a 'file ID', and any detailed data as MRIN+a number as the detail ID. It worked in my book example just fine with the 'ID: 9100' and the 'Cit.ID: 1234-1'. Sheesh!!! Some of us are more dense than others.. :-) Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I need some guidance.

RE: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access
Thank you also Jim for your helpful comments. I have me data in Legacy. I also have Excel but from past e-mails it was suggested that the best program to import data in to do the sorting was Access ? Now you mention Excel. I really am confused.

RE: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access
As Gene Y. suggested - you can make a copy of the file as he indicated. Then using the copy, CHANGE the ending of the file from '.fdb' to '.mdb' and it should open/import into Access quite nicely. This was suggested to me when I was attempting to correct some notes. After you save the file out of Access, change the '.mdb' ending back to '.fdb'. Open it in Legacy and see what happens. If it goes haywire, you can always revert to the unchanged '.fdb' file from the original save. Nice things about backups and multiple copies.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Problem
Hi Bob, I'm not sure what you've done. Have you added the number to the Source List Name or the Source Title? and what do you mean by "event portion" You edit Sources in the Master Source list which you can get to in various ways - including from the Assigned Sources screen which you may have accessed through going to a Source attached to an Event? Whether the Source List Name appears in your Endnotes is controlled by Options > Customise - Sources tab. Since the Source List Name is really there as a finding aid for the Legacy user, it doesn't really belong in the endnotes/printed source. It will be used, I think, if you haven't filled in a Title or other data to identify the source- so that may account for why you get it some places and not others if you've added your number to the Source List Name. I can't conceive of why you'd mess up your Source Titles with a number. However, you may want to use one in the Source List Name to be more organised if you have your Sources listed somewhere else by number. If you want a printout of your sources, use the Source Citation Report which you'll find in the Reports - Books/Other or from the Master Source list - Options - Print.

My thoughts are that Occupation is what is your job. Employment is where do/did you work for what dates. For example, your occupation might be Nurse. Employment would be the dates that you worked at a particular hospital. Mary Such a wise man... "A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."

Re: [LegacyUG] Census vs Residence Events
Interesting idea - if I understand - it might happen that you have MANY residence events for a single person. I lived in three places in less that 1 year (just for an example). So if I found evidence for each location - each would be a different residence event? I have grandparents living in 5 different places over 60 years of census data - resulting in 5 residence events?

Looking at the Event Sentence Definitions is a good way of getting a feel for how events are used in the default. You can, of course, edit the Event Sentence so you can use the fields as you like. Cathy At 09:44 AM 12/04/2008, you wrote: Employment Event vs Occupation EventOccupation would mean something like Computer Programmer, where an Employment event would be more like IBM. One is the skill involved, the other is the employer. Elizabeth Researching the descendants of William and Sarah (Patterson) Thompson From: Donna Goldstein As far as Legacy is concerned, what is the difference between an Occupation event and an Employment event?

Re: [LegacyUG] addresses help!
Assuming you already have the addresses for said people, you can do a Search for the line you're interested in, another search for the Living of that line and then combine that with a search for the mailing addresses of those people. No doubt your Search List will be in the Name List and there you can print it. Are you needing to know how to search in Legacy or are you already acquainted? If you don't have the addresses of the Living descendants, I'd say you're out of luck here. -- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/jlog.html Cynthia Russell wrote: I’m getting ready to travel to Ft.

[LegacyUG] Siblings
Strange - I was viewing FAMILY VIEW and my mouse came to rest between the husband and wife. A little box popped up and - just by clicking the space between husband and wife - one can see all of the siblings of the highlighted person. Anyone discover any other "hidden" (or perhaps I just never discovered) bits in Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Is there a convenient way to print from Source Detail Text form?
The only way I know to print that information in Legacy is using the Source Citation report. I don't think it's any shorter than what you're doing now, and what you're doing now and why escapes me. -- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/jlog.html Donna Goldstein wrote: The Notes dialog has a handy dandy Print button that allows me to get a hard copy of what I have entered in the General notes form. Is there a similar way to get a hard copy of what I have typed into the Source Detail Text form? I'd like to transcribe a document directly into the Source Detail Text form and then print it out to include with hard-to-read handwritten documents. Right now I'm cutting and pasting this text into MS Word and printing it out from there, but I'm trying to streamline my data entry process and would like to eliminate this step if possible. Any advice?

Re: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access
Valarie, Exactly what type of file do you want to export? A database file, a report file (if a report file what format? Text, HTML, Doc), other? Legacy contains many file types that can be exported and Access can import many file types but each has its own special requirements so until you are a bit more specific there is really nothing we can do to help you. - Original Message From: Valerie Garton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 6:53:40 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access No As I said I want to export A file from Legacy and import it in to Access.

RE: [LegacyUG] Exporting a Legacy file to Access
I want to put the inforamtion in CULLODEN ONS, a Legacy family history file in a place where I can search the birth years, and then search again in that search for the place and then the father. Actually that can all be done in the one search once the inforamtion is in the new place - Access, MS Works database or Excel. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.
