[LegacyUG] Using parentheses after town name in Master Locations
If you put an address in parenthesis after a town name in a location (master location list), does this mess up any of the automatic things Legacy does with locations? (Don't ask me what automatic things - I don't know what all Legacy does yet; I'm throwing this out there to ask those of you who do.) Let's say I have Seagraves (606 12th St), Gaines, Texas, USA and I also have Seagraves (Gaines County Cemetery), Gaines, Texas, USA and I also have Seagraves (Walter Perry homestead), Gaines, Texas, USA. I want the second one (Gaines Co. Cemetery) in the location list so I can mark it on the map. I have similar need-to-pinpoint with several other towns/areas within given counties. I need some reassurance that enclosing specifics in parentheses after the town name in my master location list won't cause problems in ways I'm not considering. If it does cause something else to not work as it should, please tell me what it is. If I can do this without it messing up other things I want Legacy to do, then I'll worry about how to get the mapping feature to put the pins where I need them. What am I missing here? Your thoughts?

[LegacyUG] Help with Locations
I would like my locations not to have , USA and add County to County name. I would like this change to be permanent on all locations.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Locations
You can add the County by doing a Search and Replace on the Location name (and don't forget the Short name as well). You'd replace , Missouri with County, Missouri Re the USA, see Options button in Master Location List - Expand/Contract location names. At least that's where it is in Legacy 7, I haven't got Legacy 6 on this computer to check.

Re: [LegacyUG] LDS Ordinances
I find it interesting that with Legacy 6 you can create a report of LDS Ordinances (Incomplete Marriage Sealings/One or More Missing) but not a report of individuals that are considered Qualified for ordinance work. What I mean by Qualified is that Legacy considers that all information is there for the next step in submitting the names to the temple. On the Overview of Updating My Records using Legacy 6.0 Step 1: Prepare/qualify names in Legacy. I find this interesting because how do you know what 'names' indeed 'qualify'?. What I have been trying to point out is with Roots Magic, when a report of Qualified individuals is created, that means that the names listed contain all the necessary information to take it to the next step of checking the names against IGI and continuing from there. Why can't Legacy do this as well? Give one the ability to create a list of names that it considers qualified or 'ready' to check against IGI and so forth? thanks for everyone's help and input; Michael -Original Message- From: Dawn Crowley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sat, 31 May 2008 8:27 pm Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] LDS Ordinances Interesting. Since Legacy doesn't put qualified into the field, I didn't realize it could generate such a report. I typically hand pick folks to submit, so I use the IGI search screen. One of the things that I like about this software is the many varying methods to accomplish goals. Dawn Kate Redford wrote: Michael Sorry Michael but my previous posting was much too brief.

If you're like me want to confirm that every possible search was done, you can read them. (One name that I just tried included 60 different searches, which took Legacy about 1 minute.) I can select a group for Legacy to search while I have lunch or go to work, or let it go to town while I get my beauty rest. I just log into FamilySearch in Netscape (my preference) and let Legacy do the work. View the side-by-side comparisons of possible matches carefully. There are multiple tabs. Tabs with differing/conflicting data are noted with an asterisk (*). With a click of a button, data can be merged---or not. I love these features! I just taught my 12 year old son how to do this on Sunday--after teaching him the manual search method. He caught on very quickly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using parentheses after town name in Master Locations
Hi Penny, the answer is YES. I have ver 7, and tested some of the mapping with my locations. I place my church and cemetery names into parenthesis. So when you look at an individual's list of locations, after clicking on mapping, they have ? beside them, as VE cannot resolve them. But as soon as you click on that entry, and click Resolve, VE's map at least brings you to the town. So then it is up to us to zoom in and change the location to the right address, if we are interested. So it isn't too difficult. But if you want to save time, I think you can start looking up the exact latitude and longitude of these locations, while you are still in your earlier version, and enter them in the master location list. Then when you click on mapping, you will be brought to that spot, and the mapping list will indicate that you provided the lat and long location, rather than it coming from VE. (VE=Virtual Earth mapping by microsoft) I hope this helps, Susan Daily On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 1:42 AM, Penny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you put an address in parenthesis after a town name in a location (master location list), does this mess up any of the automatic things Legacy does with locations?

Let's say I have Seagraves (606 12th St), Gaines, Texas, USA and I also have Seagraves (Gaines County Cemetery), Gaines, Texas, USA and I also have Seagraves (Walter Perry homestead), Gaines, Texas, USA. I want the second one (Gaines Co. Cemetery) in the location list so I can mark it on the map. I have similar need-to-pinpoint with several other towns/areas within given counties.

If it does cause something else to not work as it should, please tell me what it is. If I can do this without it messing up other things I want Legacy to do, then I'll worry about how to get the mapping feature to put the pins where I need them. What am I missing here? Your thoughts?

Re: [LegacyUG] What is a Slave schedule

[LegacyUG] Parentage source
Is there a way to attach a source to the *relationship* between a parent a child? I have been adding the source to the name of the person but that doesn't really show that I have a proof of parentage. For instance, I have a death certificate for my great grandmother, on it is listed the names of her parents. How can I add this as another source for the relationship of daughter to her parents? Please, this is just an example, I know that a death certificate isn't primary evidence of a relationship, working with that piece of paper brought the question to mind. I just want to know if there is a way to source the relationship not the name so that if I open a file on a family I have a child that others don't, I can know why I linked the relationship without going through all the sources linked to those people. Is sourcing a relationship possible? I don't know that using the notes utility would be useful and while I don't think making an event like relationship is right, it would keep the information front center. Ideas?

Warning: if you're going to try and customise the files - take a copy of them first before you make any changes.

[LegacyUG] Help with Living/Non-Living
Many times, a research document may show the names of children, but not give the birth/death dates. I had 65,000 names when I transferred by database from FTM to Legacy. Now, on Legacy,I find this wonderful little button that allows me to show whether the person is living or dead. I'm finding in my transferred data that non-dated children of parents who m. back in the 1700s, are showing as living. Several questions: Do I need to go back and change each one using the Legacy button to show not living? In the future, should I just record yes in the death date area if I know the person has died, but have no dates? (I could not do this on FTM). Also, it's interesting to find that there is no software check on a wife with no dates, who married a man with birth/death dates back in the 1600-1700s. The husband can show as not living, but if there's no marriage date, then the wife shows as living. Again, I'm correcting all these one-by-one. One additional small thing I miss in FTM is the ease with which they had an alert on possible duplicates. I don't find that Legacy catches duplicates very easily. Maybe these things will change in the new version. Carol **Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch Cooking with Tyler Florence on AOL Food.

[LegacyUG] Conversion FTM to Legacy
II am a long time user of FTM but I am thinking of converting to Legacy. I downloaded Legacy V6 (standard) but I notice that many of you on this list have version 7. How did you get it? I have not seen it for sale anywhere and according to the website, it is not yet available. I also notice that a few of you (Alan and Ole) are also on the FTM list, so I assume you are using both FTM and Legacy. I am curious as to why anyone would want to maintain two files and try to keep them updated especially since Legacy seems to have everything that FTM has and more. I have imported a GEDCOM from FTM ver 16 but unfortunately, GEDCOMs from FTM do not transfer properly even though I followed the Legacy suggestions on import (Dest: FTW, Ver 5.5, ANSEL and Abbreviated Tag box checked.) 4554 people and 1581 marriages seem to have transferred properly, but sources are messed up and there are unwanted spaces in some of the notes. Whether or not I stay with FTM and go to FTM2008 or switch to Legacy, it appears I will have to do some file clean-up as sources and facts are handled differently. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to clean up my file without having to go through each individual?

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM Problem with V6 and MyFamily.com
Mary, In my opinion, the preferred user option to contribute your tree to Ancestry is to upload the tree through the RootsWeb WorldConnect database. It uses the same database as the trees in the Ancestry World Tree database. A tree uploaded through RootsWeb gives the user more control over how the data is presented. And is easier to remove from the database. However, when she is talking about a MyFamily database, she is not talking about either of these. She is talking about the public and private on-line trees that Ancestry provides for its members. And the Legacy Upload to Ancestry Family Tree tool is uploading to these trees. Legacy has a special Gedcom output format to send trees to this service. This format can be accessed by the normal Gedcom export: Select for the Produce file field : Ancestry On-line Family Tree instead of Legacy or any of the other options... The process is somewhat automated if you select the Legacy Upload to Ancestry Family Tree tool. That option on the Legacy File menu first produces the proper Gedcom, and then second it opens a window to the page on ancestry.com where you would upload your file. Legacy does not automate the uploading to Ancestry, and the user can easily abort the process if they decide not to upload. I compared two Gedcoms produced from the same Legacy file: one produced for Legacy and one for Ancestry On-Line Family Tree. The major differences that were obvious that I saw were that the ancestry version did not include: 1. Event Notes. General and Marriage notes were kept. 2. Preferred Spouses tags 3. Legacy Place Definition data 4. Legacy Event Definition data 5. Source formatting tags The Preferred Souses tags may have been confusing Ancestry and that what was causing the initial issue. john. At 02:15 PM 6/1/2008, Mary Fowler Leek wrote: Hi Alice, If all else fails, go through the Ancestry upload option, then download your gedcom from that upload and then delete your ancestry tree. Might this work to get a gedcom that myfamily.com would read correctly? I've no working knowledge of either version of upload but I have read some of the requirements and I believe you're free to delete your uploaded tree at any time, aren't you? If this is so, then my suggestion might work. I wouldn't upload unless I was certain I could turn around and quickly delete the tree. Are you creating a gedcom 5.5? That should be a pretty standard gedcom format. Hope you get it worked out and if you do, please come back and let us know so we can all learn from your experience.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Living/Non-Living
Perhaps this information from the help screen answers your question: Advanced Set Living There are several Legacy reports, plus web pages, where the privacy of anyone whose Living status is set to Yes is protected by suppressing all personal details. When creating these reports, no information is included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertenly left set as Living. Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are manually entered. The process is automatic if their death or burial information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than 120 years ago. If no birth, christening, death, or burial information is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to No. It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals manually, but the task can become formidible when adding hundreds or thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import. This is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy. This option does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for people that are are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates. To use the Advanced Set Living feature: 1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu. 2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control. 3. Click the Start button. Legacy goes through your entire family file setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older than the you specified. When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO. To view the list, click Yes. 6-139 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Many times, a research document may show the names of children, but not give the birth/death dates.

RE: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM Problem with V6 and MyFamily.com
Alice, As JLB says, if it's OK when you put it back into Legacy then it should all be there. However, you can check this by right clicking the Gedcom and opening in Note Pad and having a look at what is actually in it. Gedcom 5.5 should also be alright. It may be that it is just the way My Family works, but I do not know. Ancestry are severing their connection with World Tree and quite possibly have stopped allowing a transfer to that database already. They are also closing their On-line Family Tree but have started a new one called Ancestry Member Tree. I haven't looked at this as yet (must get round to it) but it was easy to delete trees from their old systems so I imagine this will also be similar.

RE: [LegacyUG] Help with Locations
Gary, I agree entirely and additionally would remind luggers that abbreviations which are well known in one's own country are often totally unintelligble to people from an other. I am certain that I can make UK locations - which from this list, I know a lot of non-UK people find difficult - absolutely incomprehensible but totally accurate. If the idea of publishing is to help other people, or to encourage others to add to one's own research. then the objectives will fail if the data cannot be understood by the reader.

I guess what I am looking for is an old fashioned report or spreadsheet that can be somehow sorted alphabetically or numerically, so i can make sure all my pics are matched up to at least one person (or more). I fortunately am very careful with my metadata, and am very consistent in my formatting, and have Adobe Photoshop CS3 and all the other toys. Prioblem is : I get photos from other people and the internet, and then forget to put them into Legacy via the picture centre, therefore I have many that are unattached , but I can't figure out which ones they are.without a ton of work. That is why I would like an oldfashioned report or a sortable spreadsheet? Hey I know...theres a feature for those of us still waiting for Legacy 7!

Re: [LegacyUG] Conversion FTM to Legacy
I converted from Legacy several years ago, at about the number of people you have in your database. In view of the fact that Legacy 7 seems to have some new sourcing methods, I would wait until you get Legacy 7 upgrade (sounds like you will get the upgrade shortly anyway), and then tackle a cleanup of your sources. It sounds to me like even experienced Legacy users may have to adjust / clean up some of their sourcing when they get the upgrades, and personally, i think thats a positive think. I had no clue about sourcing when I started out, and a good cleanup is probably way overdue. Its a lot easier to do 4500 people, than 45000 people. As far as the notes go, well...think of it as a minor inconvenience, and tackle it on a regular schedule and it will get done. Legacy is so much easier and robust than FTM that it is worth the front end aggravation. I do keep both programs for the sole reason that I can immediately help other family members who do not have Legacy, and I can still use the FTM cds this way On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 6:37 PM, Chambro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: II am a long time user of FTM but I am thinking of converting to Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parentage source
And yet a third way...this is fantastic. Thanks, Rich. Sally Go to Family view. Right click on children. Near the right bottom is the icon for Sources.

I have been adding the source to the name of the person but that doesn't really show that I have a proof of parentage. For instance, I have a death certificate for my great grandmother, on it is listed the names of her parents. How can I add this as another source for the relationship of daughter to her parents? Please, this is just an example, I know that a death certificate isn't primary evidence of a relationship, working with that piece of paper brought the question to mind. I just want to know if there is a way to source the relationship not the name so that if I open a file on a family I have a child that others don't, I can know why I linked the relationship without going through all the sources linked to those people. Is sourcing a relationship possible? I don't know that using the notes utility would be useful and while I don't think making an event like relationship is right, it would keep the information front center. Ideas?

Re: [LegacyUG] Conversion FTM to Legacy
Chick, Let me try to answer your questions. I also was a long time FTM user. And now am a long time Legacy User and am much happier. Please see answers below... john.

I have not seen it for sale anywhere and according to the website, it is not yet available. Legacy 7 is due to be publicly released very shortly. Some pre-release copies were made available at the NGS conference a few weeks ago. And the people who ordered Legacy 6 recently who were promised a free copy of Legacy 7 are likely starting to get their copies. But it will be available for download in just a few days, I think.

I am curious as to why anyone would want to maintain two files and try to keep them updated especially since Legacy seems to have everything that FTM has and more. I am still on the FTM list, but I no longer use FTM except when I am sent a file and need to review it before I convert it to Legacy. I also just like to know what is going on. I have imported a GEDCOM from FTM ver 16 but unfortunately, GEDCOMs from FTM do not transfer properly even though I followed the Legacy suggestions on import (Dest: FTW, Ver 5.5, ANSEL and Abbreviated Tag box checked.) I always export the default Gedcom from FTM, and it seems to work as well as anything. The problems are all with FTM as they have non-standard Gedcom. They also do not export everything. (eg, Images and Addresses). As for import into Legacy... Legacy has some special features for importing an FTM gedcom. I believe they are available in the Standard edition, but I have not tested to be sure. And yes, you will need to do a lot of post-import cleanup. This would be the case no matter which you go convert to, even FTM 2008! 4554 people and 1581 marriages seem to have transferred properly, but sources are messed up and there are unwanted spaces in some of the notes. I transferred successfully almost 70,000 people in one family file. a/ the source paradigm in FTM and Legacy is different. Some cleanup will be required. As you are cleaning up your sources, please keep a note of what you changed and send it to me, please (off list!) -- I will forward this appropriately. b/ Custom events or facts - there are some supports for converting these to the new capabilities you have with Legacy. Use them -- it can save you a ton of work. Also, when you are done, Do a Legacy File/Maintenance/Check Repair. There is a tool to sort the events by date. Use it. FTM does not export the events in date order. You will likely want to revise all of your marriage facts events to be proper events. c/ Different versions of FTM have used different standards for notes. You may need to try the various note options that Legacy has in the customizations to find the one that works for you. I am probably forgetting something but these are the basics. Whether or not I stay with FTM and go to FTM2008 or switch to Legacy, it appears I will have to do some file clean-up as sources and facts are handled differently. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to clean up my file without having to go through each individual?

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Locations
I agree with Ron AND it becomes even more important when you share regularly with others using Intellishare. My family has relatives in many countries, and we have several of us contributing to one database regularly (How I wish there was a PRIVATE website we could all go to make our Legacy entries - no more merging!) For this reason we had to standardize a lot of things starting with locations. We enter as follows: Village Town or Settlement name/ Province or State (etc)/ Name of country in CAPS. (the long location is exactly as stated...nothing is abbreviated. Therefore a long location name will read: Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA For short locations we abbreviate according to the norm for the country involved. Therefore a short location name will read: Kitchener, Ont., CAN If there is a Parish, County, Region etc that is consistently used it should go in after the Town or City. For example: Kitchener, Region of Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA If you are sharing using Intellishare, have the keeper of the master files clean up the Location list in this way. When new files come in that do not meet this format, you can spot them immediately jsut by looking at the Location list after you do a merge. Clean up all lists before sending out the new files to everyone who is participating. Takes some organizing on the front end, but sure saves a lot of time when you do your Intellishare merges.

Re: [LegacyUG] Conversion FTM to Legacy
Hi Chick, I don't know about the source problem in transferring as I've never used FTM and I understand it handles sources differently. Many come over because of the better sourcing in Legacy. However, re the spaces in notes. Import again and check out the options re how the notes are broken - and that should be one clean up job out of the way. The next is to go to the Master Lists (View - Master Lists) and clean up each one. Some of your issues will be addressed that way. Then it's down to the individual level. You may be able to use searches to find the relevant individuals for each thing you need to sort out then. Others no doubt will have other tips. Re version 7 - the only people who have it are beta testers and some who bought version 6 with the promise of a free upgrade to version 7. They've been getting it first because they've already paid for it. The last official statement I recall re general release was early June.

Re: [LegacyUG] Conversion FTM to Legacy
I had the problem with unwanted spaces in notes when I switched from FTM to Legacy. The problem can be solved in the Deluxe version by reimporting the GEDCOM. When you get the GEDCOM Import window, click on Customize and check Lines are broken in the middle of words and then finish the import. (This may also be possible in the standard version but I don't know.) I didn't have any problems with my sources. Maybe if you provide more detail about your source problems someone can help.

I have imported a GEDCOM from FTM ver 16 but unfortunately, GEDCOMs from FTM do not transfer properly even though I followed the Legacy suggestions on import (Dest: FTW, Ver 5.5, ANSEL and Abbreviated Tag box checked.) 4554 people and 1581 marriages seem to have transferred properly, but sources are messed up and there are unwanted spaces in some of the notes. Whether or not I stay with FTM and go to FTM2008 or switch to Legacy, it appears I will have to do some file clean-up as sources and facts are handled differently. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to clean up my file without having to go through each individual?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy vs TMG and then some
The new version of FTM does -NOT- require the older program to import... you
can directly import from any older format however, it is a one way
import... any changes in data done via FTM2008 must be exported to GEDCOM in
order to re-load into older versions of FTM.

Cathy,
Thanks for the comments and I am looking forward to trying V7. For the
FTM problem, I have reinstalled it on three drives now always from the original
FTM disk. The problem may come from the bug patch (?) that had to be down
loaded and I have that on disk also. I have tried all export and import options
but nothing effects the fragmentation problem in the slightest. FTM was bought
out after V.11 and they refused to address my problem. Their solution is to
upgrade to 2008. Someone told me that 2008 required the older programs to
export to a GED. If that is the case than the FTM people have their heads in
the wrong place and I have heard nothing good about 2008. I could, if I felt
bold (don't really) try to make corrections to the code but I really don't know
what I am doing and I have a lot of large family files (since FTM doesn't
handle well over 15,000 people). I don't want to mess with it right now. As
for mapping. My husband is a Linux geek and my son is a programmer. Neither
care much about MY research so if I want them to be of any Tech Support, I
have to stay clear of anything MS if at all possible and that includes
anything IE. My husband in particular keeps pointing me toward the Linux
screen. He has even given me programs that run on both OS's to make the
transition easier. LOL {Laugh Out Loud}
I don't yet understand how Gramps (Linux program written in Python, a
programing language) can read my GEDCOM when others can't. Chalk one up for the
Linux people. But there is a positive side to this. I can import to Gramps
(Windows version) and then export to Legacy with very few, minor, problems to
correct. (No more fragmented families!) This is why I am exploring Gramps and
Legacy side by side. Thus, it would not be much of a problem to import some of
my smaller, less developed projects in to Legacy. I will be trying that latter
this summer.
Wishing us all happy trails in all our V.7 adventures!

Hi Jane,Three comments.Legacy 7 reports give the option to have sources as
footnotes, endnotes or endnotes at the end of each section/generation.Re
importing an FTM generated GEDCOM into Legacy. There are notes on the Legacy
Web pages on what options to choose
when exporting the Gedcom and I think there are also notes about the import. I
know that you need to check the notes after import. If they have developed
strange spaces, then you've used the wrong option for notes and need to import
again.Legacy 6 works far better on XP - and a computer with more RAM. Legacy 7
requires much the same although for mapping you need IE7 and I think it would
drive you mad without broadband connection. I don't understand people not being
interested in maps. :-) To have the relevant map available with a click or two
is wonderful. Perhaps you haven't seen the zoom level and the Aerial and Bird's
Eye views you can switch to.Cheers,CathyAt 12:57 AM 31/05/2008, you

the recent posts concerning OS and genealogy programs were something I could

in the early part of this year I decided to begin weaning my self off Win 98
and begin exploring OS and genealogy programs. I had been a Win 98 and FTM
V.11 user. I have worked on Linux and Win XP and because I haven't come to a
conclusion as to what the best genealogy program is for me, I am still using
FTM V.11 but now on Win XP. (Legacy definitely works better on Win XP than on
Win 98.)If Legacy became compatible with Linux, developed import filters that
allowed import direct from program specific files including FTM as doses TMG
and offers an option to create footnotes at the end of the page as TMG does,
then Legacy will have a new deluxe customer.For now I am still trying to find
the easiest way to convert my corrupted V.11 files to Legacy with out having
it completely fragment my file. I should note here that Gramps, (a free Linux
user built
program also available experimentally for windows), produces a near perfect
import of my presumed corrupted FTM v.11 files in, GEDCOM formate. TMG is
second near perfect with the ability to import directly from FTM files with
out converting it to the problematic GEDCOM. (Something that
Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Report
You can see that for each folder in the Picture Centre. From the Help file: The U column to the left of the file names indicates whether or not each picture has been attached to someone in your family file already. The + means that picture in that folder has been attached to someone. The - means that filename has been attached to someone but from a different picture folder. For example, you may be looking at grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Pictures folder but another file called grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Reunion\Pictures folder is currently being used somewhere in your file. (You should be careful not to have different picture files with the same name located in different folders. It will surely confuse you at some point This may help you do what you want.
