RE: [LegacyUG] V7 Problem Report - Again
Thanks Richard, I did change the last names as well as fixed the other problems, but DUH I forgot to run a 'fresh' problem report. I kept selecting to run the 'existing' report.

Example 1: A husband and wife had the same surname---this was corrected, but the error doesn't go away. Example 2: Another odd problem reports that a son was born after his mother's death; he was born to his father's second wife.

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: New Thread: Occupations as Separate Events from Census Returns
I have it set up so that the census notes print in the family group sheet, but not in the other reports. Saves having to re-type the information in another place, which I would probably forget to do. ;-) GeoSci wrote: Chris, I actually have gone in and made both Occupation and Residence entries - then made the Census PRIVATE and usually do not print it at all. I do mention in General Notes that the person was listed on the US Census for 1870, 1880 and 1900 or whatever. The resulting reports are much more friendly to read. If anyone wnts the actual Census citation (boring!) - I can print them easily enough.

I have been recording census results as events with the all the details recorded as notes.

Would it be better to just enter the year? 2 I am working with English census returns. Pupils are recorded as scholars and again I have used the occupation event to record this fact but working as a Scholar in a report doesn't sound correct. Would an overiding comment such as He was described as a scholar in the 1881 Census sound better. 3 Should I just stop adding occupations separateley as they have already been recorded in the census notes.

I just stared using Legacy 7.0 today (imported my data from Family Tree Maker). So, I expect to have lots of questions and appreciate the help you give to each other. I must say, you are a prolific group (every time I check e-mail, there's 5 new messages!). Based on the below scenario, is there any logical way to enter a Source for the AKA of a birth surname that was changed upon entering the U.S. (Vallerini to Vallevieni). I have not been able to locate any information in Italy to confirm the original surname (making a trip later this year to see what I can find), rather, I deduced what the original name was by analyzing a lot of information like: 1) There is no such name as Vallevieni in any index (here or in Italy except known subsequent relatives), 2) current family (from a different family line) that lives in Italy states there is no such name as Vallevieni, 3) a subsequent trip from Italy to the U.S. listed Vallerini as the surname of one family member, and 4) there are lots of Vallerini's in the general area in Italy where the family came from. I know I can explain it in each person's Notes (and probably will do that), but should I also enter a source as being deduced or a better term than that to quickly see how I arrived at the birth surname?

[LegacyUG] Creating a CD - Error Message File Not Found
Hi- I have used Legacy for years and love it. I have had no problems importing GEDCOMs, etc., into Legacy. My Legacy 7.0053 runs just fine. I am using Windows XP I am using Legacy 7.0053. I use Windows XP with plenty of memory---I can more than one large program (like Photoshop Elements) open at the same, for example, and I never get an insufficient memory message when I'm using Legacy. However, in trying to create a CD. . . . . . I used the Passage Express free version and then updated to the Deluxe Version last week. So I am using the version 2.3.40. First of all, I have searched the Legacy mailing list archives for the answer to my question, but I have not found it. My apologies if my question has been discussed before, and pointing me to the right place in the archive will suffice rather than covering what is old territory for this list. I have also tried reading the online Passage Express manual and Help file, as well as reading the Legacy manual and Help file. So---my question: I have followed directions and have imported and imported the FDB file to Passage Express, created what I believe to be a correct menu that works in all ways except for one: When I click on the Menu button I've called View the Project, which should bring up the family file, I get a message something like the following: File not found; C:\\documents and settings\ really long snip and then the name of the FDB file I imported-except the file I imported definitely did not come from that folder. I know when importing I picked the correct location for the FDB file and I do believe I gave it the right function. Also, just yesterday, the Documents and Images button began not showing the FDB images unless you click on Search. Before, it worked just fine. Please help me to correct this---and to understand what I am doing wrong! I have wrestled with creating this CD for over four days now. I even finally tried running File Maintenance on the FDB before doing the import. Didn't help. I have tried saving to a new FDB both before and after doing File maintenanceRepair. Didn't help. I have tried re-installing Passage Express. Didn't help. I also tried going directly into Passage Express rather than going through Legacy and clicking on the Create CD button. This results with Legacy not being open when I tried to create the CD, which I thought might help. Didn't help--exact same results. I have tried closing all other programs except Passage Express. Doesn't help. I have tried re-booting and starting from scratch. I have tried disabling my CA Firewall both before and after a re-boot. I have done virus and spyware scans with CA security, with results that say I am clear. I have even tried turning off all features of the CA security center when trying to create the CD. Doesn't help. (And then I re-do scans after I turn the Firewall and Virus components back on.) I have tried creating the CD information on my external hard drive instead of on a CD. Doesn't help. I have tried adding the Legacy.exe file to that hard drive. Doesn't help. My original FDB was too large for the CD, and early on I created a minimized file which brings up fewer images and shows images for fewer individuals than before, but is other wise the same. The FDB for import definitely is not too large now. I appreciate info or a pointing to a spot online that deals with my specific question. Warmest Regards, Donna P.S. I am doing one extra thing in creating the CD that I really like. When creating the CD menu, I added a button called Instructions. It brings up a notepad TXT file with step-by-step instructions for using the CD, plus a very brief message about the general project---how many names and families it includes, the date of creation, etc. It also includes instructions for downloading Legacy Standard version to used with the CD and installing it. By the way, I was having the same problem before I added the text file button, so I know that didn't cause my Menu Test problem. And I also am using an external hard drive as an extra place to back up Legacy files and give a little peace of mind. Another thing I am doing right!

[LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
After doing a backup of Multimedia Files an error message reports that I need to go to Options Customize Locations and Test All Multimedia Paths, Which I did. I received a very long list of files missing from C:\Legacy\Pictures\. I keep various graphics in their own folders, such as C:\Legacy\Pictures\Census\UK.

Again, I am just starting to use Legacy. I've seen lots of messages over the weekend about splitting sources vs not splitting sources. Can someone that does split sources (ie. 1820 Census may be listed lots of times for each town in which you have an ancestor), please tell me how they title the split sources (start with city then county then state then list the document document or something else goes first)?

[LegacyUG] V 7.0.0.53 - Problem linking parents to child
Dear LUGGERS, I have had a recurring problem --or several inter-related problems--linking parents to a child with both versions 6 7 and I surely hope somebody can straighten me out! This time, I had somehow entered John Doe as a grandson instead of a son. So I unlinked him from Jacob Doe (who was really his brother) and linked him to his father, John William Doe (who had only one wife). As Legacy has ALWAYS done in my experience, it decided John Doe’s mother was a 2nd, Unknown, wife, and gave John William Doe this new Unknown wife with John Doe as their only child. So I deleted Unknown Wife from John William Doe (JWD) and got a screen (as I always have) telling me that their child John Doe would remain linked to the individual at the top of the screen, namely John William Doe. Fine, that's what I wanted. However, that’s not what happened. Once I deleted Unknown wife I had JWD and Mary White (Doe) and 10 children, with John nowhere to be found. This, too, has always happened. So why is John NOT showing up? (Also, having deleted his Unknown mother but not unlinked him from his father, (according to the Legcy pop-up box) I looked up John Doe in the name list --- BUT when I brought him up --in the Family View screen -- he had No father or any other relations!!) Since I couldn’t link in his parents easily, I decided to do it the other way round and go to their Family View and link him in as a son. BUT I was unable to see a way to add him to JWD and Mary White as a son as he was child #11 and there were just two columns of 5 children each and no blank to click in. I could have probably clicked in the lower right corner, but I didn’t think about it. (I had it set up, I THOUGHT to Best Fit as I’d sometimes been seeing one column of children, sometimes 2, and sometimes 3 depending on the number of children.) Finally it occurred to me to click on JWD's screen and give an Edit Children command which I did. That listed his 10 brothers and sisters and I clicked on the option to Add a brother, and linked him in at that point. So now -- at long last -- he is child #11 (he was the last born). QUESTION: Is there some way to set Legacy so that 1) when I need to link in a parent, it will ASK me, e.g., whether I want to link in the father's existing wife as the mother OR add a new wife/mother ? OR 2) if there is already more than one wife so that it will ask me WHICH wife is the mother OR whether I want to create a new one? At some point, I went to Help Add Parents. == HELP tells me “1. Make sure the individual is in either the Husband or Wife position of the Family View. 2. To add a father to the husband, right-click in the top half of the husband's Parents box at the top of the Family View. To add a mother to the husband, right-click in the bottom half of the husband's Parents box at the top of the Family View. The Add Father or Add Mother window appears. 3. Click Add a NEW person to create a new record for a new individual or Link to an EXISTING person if the father or mother is already in the family file as an individual. If adding a new person, the Information window appears, where you can enter the person's information. If linking to an existing person, the Name List appears where you can select the individual. 4. When you have finished adding or linking in the father or mother, the name appears in the appropriate location of the Parents box. You can then continue to add the other parent, if known.” == So, I re-tried the whole thing. After linking him to his father I clicked on the Mother space, and linked him to JWD's only wife, Mary White . Legacy thereupon AGAIN gave JWD a 2nd wife, this one a SECOND Mary White! (with one child, John Doe!) This is not the first time I have inadvertently created an additional wife/mother when attempting to link in a parent. I must be doing something wrong! But I don’t know what! QUESTION: SO-O-O can someone please tell me how to link in existing people as parents without creating new spouses for one parent!!?? I also had another problem with Help, which I’ll put in a separate email. Thanks in advance for your advice, comments, etc.!

RE: [LegacyUG] Multiple Repository
Christina: Your question involves an issue of semantics. If you adhere to Evidence-style citations, a website is *not* a repository. Further, census data from a website like Ancestry.com is considered to be published, and you don't cite repositories for published work. On the other hand, you *do* cite the location where you viewed the census (it's just not called a repository). And to add an extra layer of confusion, census data found online at FamilySearch is considered to be from preservation copies and therefore unpublished. Frankly, I have a hard time drawing a line between published data online at Ancestry.com and unpublished data online at FamilySearch.org. It's at this point that I throw up my hands and say, Thank heavens for Legacy's new SourceWriter templates! If you just fill in the fields there, you'll have everything you need (with some allowance for temporary bugs here and there). The short answer to your post, though, would be that you cite only the location where you actually viewed the data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Renaming my Data folder
Maybe I'm a teeny bit confused. If you have Legacy on your C-drive, that includes the Data folder. That contains a variety of files that represent your database. Did you move all that to your USB-drive into a folder called Legacy6? Is it even possible to do that, I'm not sure. If so: When you first open Legacy after renaming the folder, it won't know where to find your data. So just browse to the right location. If you have moved other 'data' such as your picture folder you will have to change the path to that under Customize/Locations. Or do you mean you keep your .zip backup on your USB-drive?

Re: [LegacyUG] V 7.0.0.53 - Problem linking parents to child
Pat Hickin wrote QUESTION: Is there some way to set Legacy so that 1) when I need to link in a parent, it will ASK me, e.g., whether I want to link in the father's existing wife as the mother OR add a new wife/mother ? OR 2) if there is already more than one wife so that it will ask me WHICH wife is the mother OR whether I want to create a new one? I think your problem is that you are trying to link parents to a child, rather than the other way round. With Mrs Mrs Doe in the family view and their correct children listed below them, right-click in the children's area and select Link to an existing son. The Name List will appear, from which select the child. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

[LegacyUG] Source citation issues
I do have the manual and the training cds for version 7. I should possibly read them before asking this - but the experience in the group is amazing. Comments appreciated. I've been using Legacy since version 3 or 4. My sourcing has been inconsistent but I'm now hoping to be able to improve things. I think that I'm noticing that some things input in the past show up differently in version 7. I'm not positive though. I'm going through citations for census records in England. I'm a 'lumper' and have one master citation for each census for each county. In this case I'm working with English census but the master citation was set up prior to version 7. I put the Source detail for a family e.g RG13 Piece 1790, Folio 43, page 1, Parish Benhall; Registration District Plomesgate, Sub registration Aldeburgh, Household #5 and put other details under Text/Comments - example. James Reeve age 78, parish relief Sarah Reeve age 74, parish relief Frank Lambard [sic Lambert] 24,grandson, bricklayer's labourer, born Benhall If I tick the box - add this text to the source citation on reports under the Text/Comments I can end up with the names shown twice (looking just at the output preview). If I remove the tick, re-save the info and look at the output preview again -- no names appear, however. I'm getting confused about what boxes are best to tick. On the Detail information tab I have the 3 options ticked - Add this detail to the source citation; Verified; Include this citation on reports. On the Text/Comments I have Verified ticked -- not sure why the option is there though. Maybe it is useful to splitters? I also have Include this citation on Reports ticked. I haven't added comments about the citation - so haven't asked the system to include them. If I click Add the text to the source citation on reports in the Text/Comments tab - it appears in the Output preview once. Formatting looks a bit strange but that is another issue I suspect. If I then Save - and go back again to look at the Edit Detail screen I've got the names twice. If I unclick Add the text to the source citation on reports in the Text/Comments tab the output preview shows one set of names BUT - when I save that the names are gone when I look at it again. Seems strange to me Possibly the problem is just with the Output preview. A report that I did recently didn't seem to result in the names shown twice in the Endnotes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not
I do not know whether this is splitting or lumping, but I have one source for each township or city in each census. So I have a lot of different census entries for 1920 Philadelphia, but I can put the detail (roll number, page no, etc) each time I quote a different page. This still gives me a lot of census entries, but I can at least find them. Elizabeth C Cathy Vallevieni wrote: Again, I am just starting to use Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
Hi Art, I had a similar problem a while back, if you have changed the name of a picture you will get this message, also if you change the location of the photo. Everyone probably uses their own method of naming their pictures, mine may not be the correct method but it works fine for me. Here is an example of what I mean, I have a photo of Mary Jane Smith, I scan it into my program and then I call it Mary Jane Smith, a second photo of the same person at a later date I'll call it Mary Jane Smith (1) etc. Sometimes I have discover that I had the name listed incorrectly and I rename the photo, so instead of it being Mary Jane Smith, it is now called Jane Mary Smith. Now, when I do a backup at the end of the day I will get the same message as you are getting. I can reopen my Legacy program, locate the person that I have changed, look up the new named photo and set the new path and everything works fine. Providing I have only used this photo once or twice as in an event or the main photo for this person, and I have located both photo's and corrected both paths. Where I ran into a real problem, and it took me forever to figure it out, was that I had used the same photo and attached it to a source detail, like the photo you may get on a death notice. You attach the photo to the source, then you attach the source to everything that is connected to the person in the death notice, birth, death burial, parents, spouce, children etc. As an example I just did this exact same thing a couple days ago, I got the same message as you did and I ended up with I think it was 76 errors. I had only changed one photo, it was attached to the source for a death notice. Here is what I would suggest you should do, first back up your file and your multimedia files first. Do a file maintence check/repair. Go to OptionscustomizeLocationstest all multimedia paths, if you get a list, print it out. If you can't locate the photos from this list you can try the following. Go to OptionscustomizeLocationsView Current list of Multimedia locationshighlight one of the location pathsOptionsDeleteview listPrintclosecloseclose then check the photos in this list. Remember the missing photo may not be the main photo for the person, you may have it also attached in the + section at the end of the birth, baptismal, death or funeral address sections, or have it attached to a marriage, an event, or as I said before it may be attached to a main source or to the source detail. I hope I haven't confused you even more then you were before, I hope something I have said will help.

Bruce: Yes it does make sense, but it's not what I see. Unfortunately I get multiples when endnotes are selected.

I printed out the list and then went to several of the files which have the supposedly lost graphics and found all graphics that I checked still properly linked to the individuals and displaying in their proper picture gallery. The only problem is the files it listed as not being in \Legacy\Pictures had never been in that folder, but were in sub-folders such as \Legacy\Pictures\Census\UK or \Legacy\Pictures\Census\US or \Legacy\Pictures\Wedding\, etc. No problem in V6 and the only problem (with graphics) with V7 is getting an error message and error.log when the graphic linkage is working correctly. Thanks for the advice. Incidently, my naming convention would call for 1976_Mary_Jane_Smith.jpg Art - Original Message - From: leo macdonald To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 6:38 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup Hi Art, I had a similar problem a while back, if you have changed the name of a picture you will get this message, also if you change the location of the photo. Everyone probably uses their own method of naming their pictures, mine may not be the correct method but it works fine for me. Here is an example of what I mean, I have a photo of Mary Jane Smith, I scan it into my program and then I call it Mary Jane Smith, a second photo of the same person at a later date I'll call it Mary Jane Smith (1) etc. Sometimes I have discover that I had the name listed incorrectly and I rename the photo, so instead of it being Mary Jane Smith, it is now called Jane Mary Smith. Now, when I do a backup at the end of the day I will get the same message as you are getting. I can reopen my Legacy program, locate the person that I have changed, look up the new named photo and set the new path and everything works fine. Providing I have only used this photo once or twice as in an event or the main photo for this person, and I have located both photo's and corrected both paths. Where I ran into a real problem, and it took me forever to figure it out, was that I had used the same photo and attached it to a source detail, like the photo you may get on a death notice. You attach the photo to the source, then you attach the source to everything that is connected to the person in the death notice, birth, death burial, parents, spouce, children etc. As an example I just did this exact same thing a couple days ago, I got the same message as you did and I ended up with I think it was 76 errors. I had only changed one photo, it was attached to the source for a death notice. Here is what I would suggest you should do, first back up your file and your multimedia files first. Do a file maintence check/repair. Go to OptionscustomizeLocationstest all multimedia paths, if you get a list, print it out. If you can't locate the photos from this list you can try the following. Go to OptionscustomizeLocationsView Current list of Multimedia locationshighlight one of the location pathsOptionsDeleteview listPrintclosecloseclose then check the photos in this list. Remember the missing photo may not be the main photo for the person, you may have it also attached in the + section at the end of the birth, baptismal, death or funeral address sections, or have it attached to a marriage, an event, or as I said before it may be attached to a main source or to the source detail. I hope I haven't confused you even more then you were before, I hope something I have said will help. Leo From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 12:19:13 -0700 After doing a backup of Multimedia Files an error message reports that I need to go to Options Customize Locations and Test All Multimedia Paths, Which I did. I received a very long list of files missing from C:\Legacy\Pictures\. I keep various graphics in their own folders, such as C:\Legacy\Pictures\Census\UK. The interesting thing is that when I go to the individuals using the graphics, they are still properly displayed, they are not lost, but the error message is scary since the report lists about 500 *.jpg's.
