RE: [LegacyUG] Sourcing events vs. photographs of events

[Gorski Ian]

I was just thinking of the copyright Thanks for the reminder.
It becomes a non issue then... 
The source of the information is the government immigration papers, any 
photographs I add I could note in the description as taken by me.

Also thanks for the suggestion of a source for each cemetery, JL.  Currently I 
have them all lumped in 'Personal knowledge - '

By the way, Dad emigrated after WWII, otherwise someone might be updating my 
life  ;-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing events vs. photographs of events

[Wynthner]

Adding the photos you took would be fine...reproducing the photos from the book 
is most likely a violation of copyright and I wouldn't advise using them except 
for your personal use (i.e. not passed along to family or put on the web).

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sourcing events vs. photographs of events


Hi All,
Hope this is relevant to the group and I'm not going in circles..

Does anyone add sources to photographs of events vs. the event itself?
Should we?

For example
If I locate a burial in a cemetery naturally I source the index where it
was documented
If I actually visit the grave I take a photo and then add the photo to
the cemetery event and source as personal knowledge because I have
confirmed as best I can that the person in question is there.  
All good so far??

Ok now
My father emigrated from Europe after WWI to Australia.  From his papers
I traced his movements to an Immigration camp in Greta, New South Wales,
Australia.  I added an Immigration event and the source as the
documents
Now...  I have visited the site and photographed the ruins (concrete
slabs).  I was also able to get a book on the camp which contains photos
and maps.
I was going to add the photos, both current and historical to the
immigration event and add the relevant sources - myself and the book.
But, having second thoughts, my visit and the book cannot confirm my
father as ever being there and are just sources to the photos.  

Anyone have any thoughts so the links to the photos can be kept or am I
reading too much into it all?

Thanks
Ian

[LegacyUG] Highlighting Ancestors that Immigrated on a Chart

[Cathy Vallevieni]

Two questions:

1.  When creating a Chart, is there a way to highlight or bold or 
make the box a different color or ??? to indicate an ancestor that 
immigrated to the U.S.?  For researching, I find it helpful to see 
where the American line ends and the original country begins.


2.  In Family Tree Maker I could include the immigration date and 
original country as an item in the box (made it easy to when 
researching).  This information is not one of the default items in 
Legacy when charting.  Any way to "cheat" the system?


Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] "L" column of Geo Location List

[Robert57P via Gmail]

I've wondered the same thing.
My "L" column has   V, L, ?, and blanks
I can also get a '-' in that field if I say "do not geo-code" using the 
geo-code button.  

I know I've seen discussion to some of these codes before (like the dash), but 
haven't seen all of them discussed - and can't find anything in HELP other than 
on the "X"  in the L column once it is Geo-coded (and I don't have any "X's"!).

Oh - I also just noticed "If you have added a note to a location (by using the 
Edit feature), an X shows in the N column in the list"
And the VERIFIED (under EDIT) puts a check mark in the VER column.  
But nothing more on the "L" column in HELP that I can find.

Does anyone have anything other than:
V  L  -  ?  blank  
in the "L" column on the master location list?

Does anyone actually have an
X
in the "L" column on the master location list?

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

[Cathy Vallevieni]

Everyone that responded to "Splitting vs Not" and the ancillary 
thread (and that seems like it might have been everyone in the group!):


Thank you so much for each of your inputs.  I agree with Ward, there 
are lots of ways to enter sources that work and it appears to mostly 
depend on your personal searching and filing style.  All the advice 
has given me (and other Legacy newbies that read the archives) many 
methods and ideas to adapt to their own style.  This discussion has 
been invaluable and will save me lots of trying, then changing, then 
changing, then changing!  Unfortunately, I've got a bundle of sources 
imported from Family Tree Maker and 10 years of sourcing without any 
pattern so I have a lot of work ahead of me.  Oh well, what's another 
100 hours?


Again, thank you to everyone.

Cathy,

Seems like there are many different systems out there.

By 'title', I assume that you mean the 'name', which is internal and 
for your own benefit (as opposed to the title that appears in 
citations). I would recommend that you order the information for the 
best sort order in the master source list. First of all, I would 
always start with the word 'census'.


If you do want to split master sources all the way down to the 
census page, here is the naming system that I fell into. (I will 
have to shorten it, if I go back and lump my sources, of course.):

'Census, US 1900, Ohio, George Walker'

Of course the title and pub facts give lots more info about the 
county, township, ED, page, microfilm roll, web site viewed on, 
etc.  The person's name may be the head of household, or possible 
another person of special interest if the head of household is not a 
person that I care about. This system seems to work well when I am 
browsing the source list. Also, when I am viewing the assigned 
sources for an individual, these names typically convey quickly what 
I want to know about where I got the information, without even 
clicking on individual lines to view the full citation. (Even after 
viewing the citation, I might still have to bring up the source 
detail panel to properly view my notes on exactly which bits of 
information I relied on from that particular source.)


If I save the image as a file, I use a similar sort order for the filename.

If I were lumping, I would need to view the full citation and 
perhaps the detail panel more frequently when browsing.


Keep in mind that by not using the new template feature, you have to 
keep some notes or examples handy so that you can create each new 
source in exactly the same pattern (including the title and pub. 
facts, not just the name). Also, my system is a bit awkward if there 
are multiple families of interest on the same census page.


Hope this gives you some more ideas.

[LegacyUG] To-Do Problem

[cabyers]

I tried the same on several files and it caused the same failure!  When you
try to enter a "To-Do" from the individuals screen, it causes the same
problem.  Guess the TO-DO function is broken!!!  Usually the support staff
monitors the e-mail group, but have not received a response from them???
Also, submitted a bug report, and have not received an acknowledgement
either???  Guess no one is home???

Hi,

Have uncovered a problem that "locks-up" Legacy which was caused when I made
a error entering a "To-Do" item for an Individual's information screen.
Here's what I did:
1. Entered a "To-Do" item from the "Individual's Information" screen
2. Forgot to enter a anything in the "Task Needing to be Done" section, and
attempted to save the "To-Do".
3. The program "warned me" of the error, and I then added Text to the "Task
Needing to be Done" Section, and saved it.
4. Then I noticed that the "To-Do" icon was "colored", and indicated "0"
items.
5. When I clicked on the icon, then Upper menus and Icons at the top of the
Legacy window when blank, and the program stopped functioning. The only way
I could shut in down was to reboot the computer.
6. I ran the "Check/Repair" but it didn't help.

RE: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup

[leo macdonald]

Hi Art, if you are planning on performing a large batch re-naming of all your 
Multimedia files I would recommend doing a backup first, then I would do a 
small test batch of no more than 6 and check each one to make sure that legacy 
will locate them on its own, or do you have to locate each new name and 
re-attach it. If the latter is the case and you performed a 4000 batch, you 
will have a hugh repair job to correct it. Leo

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOMS

[Robert57P via Gmail]

Are you saying you get an error for person 70 & 90?  Or is that the maximum 
quantity you've tried to import?

What error msg are you getting when you do the import?
Have you looked at various different options during the import?
If the import gives you any indication of what it doesn't like, try opening a 
backup of the GEDCOM in a text editor and search for that string (or person or 
whatever).  See if you see anything strange ANYPLACE in that person's record.

RE: [LegacyUG] My sourcing - Split vs. Not

Hi Melody - I also do my sourcing "very similar" to the way you do your 
sourcing. You are not alone!

Subject: [LegacyUG] My sourcing - Split vs. Not

I started a separate thread because my post is a tangent to others.

I've never seen my type of sourcing re split vs not mentioned.  To date, I've 
only done online research.  I can save individual census page images.  I prefer 
to have one master source for each digital document (census page image, bible 
page image, digital version of a book).


Specifically wrt the census page images, I set one master source referencing 
the census page image I have.  I then reference the line number the person of 
interest appears on and list in "Actual Text" his particulars from the census 
page.  I don't reference any other person in those details.  Any person that is 
listed individually on his own line gets his own detail sourcing.


I do things this way since I'm able to tie the actual image file to a 
particular master source.  I won't have to instead go to a directory of a bunch 
of image files and hunt for the particular page I'm interested in (even if I 
name the files according to their page numbers, it can still be a hunt when 
there are many such files).


I'm hoping that this will help me drill down quickly to actual images, 
especially since Legacy helps me keep track of Master Source numbers and lets 
me set links in the master and detail sourcing to the actual images.


Any comments folks have I'd love to hear.  I've not done genealogy stuff long 
so there may be cons to this approach I haven't thought of.

Take care,

RE: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup

[ronald ferguson]

Glad you liked the site, Art.

Re. Pictures. Yup you have a problem! However to keep it in perspective, I 
would not think that you would be putting anything like that number of pics on 
the internet. In any event you will most likely wish to either edit and/or 
resize those that you do, so they can be resaved under a different name at that 
time.

I have never bothered much about the names of picture files used on the web 
provided they are html compatible ie none of "spaces , " @ ' . / \ # [ ] { } ( 
) = + $ % ; : ~ ` |" - I think that's it!

Another LUG member recommended me to FastStone Photo Resizer available free 
from http://www.faststone.org/ which can batch resize and rename in the format 
name1, name2 etc. and this would be fine where the actual name is not 
important. If I remember correctly, Irfan View can also do something similar - 
at least the renaming bit - but I prefer FastStone for this.

I did try another way of trying to rename but suceeded in changing spaces to 
underscores within the pics, thus writing off a couple of dozen - thank heavens 
for back-ups!

I hope this helps,


Ron Ferguson

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup

[JLB]

Using Scrapbook under View on the toolbar you can print a picture list, 
either for specific individuals or everyone.


For renaming files, just about anything will do it.  Look into any of 
the graphics programs you already have.  If not, FastStone is free and 
will do it.  Warning though - if you have any IPTC info embedded in your 
photos, some programs (FastStone for instance) do not recognize it and 
will delete it during other processes, possibly here when renaming.  
Test it first on a single photo.  Adobe Elements, if you have it, will 
do batch renames.  ACDSee Pro 2 Photo Manager has the best 
batch-processing options of anything I've seen.

Pat,

To link a child to 2 Parents, in Family View highlight the child in a main panel, click the parents' icon and in the new screen 
select "add new parents" or select "from existing parents". Selecting "Add" will give you 
"Unknown and Unknown" whilst "Existing" will take to to the married list were you can select the couple.

At present you are only linking to one parent - hence the confusion.

Subject: [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
somet

[LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

[Alan]

Like Linda in the previous message, for Census records I think I am a
splitter i.e. one Master source for each household (location) for each
appropriate year.
 
My system is based on that each census return is a piece of data associated
to a location, with this in mind I record the location and then extend the
format to record the actual Census,
 
For example -
 
A Location is recorded -
 
Location = Burslem (11 Bag Street), Staffordshire, England
 
Short Name Location = 11 Bag Street, Burslem
 
The element in the brackets is usually the Street name and number.
 
 
A Census Return (for the same location) is then recorded -
 
Source List Name = Burslem (11 Bag Street), Staffordshire - UK Census 1861
 
 
>From the Legacy Master List for both Locations and Master Source I can
readily see the appropriate entry alphabetically and in the case of Census
information the date.
 
In addition I find that the method is quick, simple to set up and easy to
use by just using the "copy and paste" facility.
 
I have not completed an entry for an ancestor from the USA as yet, but I
would be looking at adopting the same approach.  
 
I may review my system when I have had a look at "Source Writer" in version
7.
 
For the time being I would welcome thoughts and observations on the above
from the user group.

 

Alan

I think it's interesting that it's your 1910 census Master Source. I do not

I had already tried the experiment you suggested but it made no 
difference.

I tried it again today--just in case--but I still get the same repeating
result.  This same Descendant Book Report also has multiple references to
the 1920 census as well as a birth certificate and Railroad Retirement 
Board
pension file and none of those repeat--only the 1910 census.  I'm 
convinced

that it's a bug associated only with the 1910 US census template and I've
reported it as such.

Thanks again for taking the time to check this out.

Kirsten,
Yesterday when I worked on this, I did have one occurrence of a
citation that repeated in both scenarios - footnotes as well as
endnotes.  It was created before the 7.0.0.53 update, using the
Sourcewriter - Newspaper template.  It looked identical to me, but
just to be sure, I deleted the second citation (burial).  Then I
copied the death event citation to the clipboard and pasted it to the
burial.  That cleared up the multiple citations on the endnote report.
Is it possible for you to try this for your 1910 census that's
causing you the problem?

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

[Chick Lewis]

If you are undecided as to whether to lump or split sources, I suggest
splitting them.  If you change your mind later, it is fairly easy to
combine split sources into one, but difficult to separate lumped
sources.

Re: [LegacyUG] My sourcing - Split vs. Not

[Bruce Jones]

Hi Melody,

I am more of a lumper with fewer Master Sources.
The way I deal with the issue you raise about finding your image is to use
the facilities of Legacy.
I link the census image to the Detail Source.  If I want to look at the
image, I just do the following:
- Edit the Source Detail
- Click on the Multimedia/Picture tab
- Double click on the image
Then I can use the In and Out buttons (Zoom In & Zoom Out if you Edit
instead of double clicking) to view the image in whatever size I want.
So normally, I don't need to know what the file name is and where it is
stored.  If I want this information, I can get it from the Picture Edit
screen.
I also transcribe the census data into the Source Detail Text.  I do that so
it prints in the source listing for reports.
Just my way of doing things.
I'm probably overlooking a problem with my method, but haven't found it yet.
Great that Legacy provides multiple ways of doing things.

RE: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Reported Bug?

[Kirsten Bowman]

Dede:

I had already tried the experiment you suggested but it made no difference.
I tried it again today--just in case--but I still get the same repeating
result.  This same Descendant Book Report also has multiple references to
the 1920 census as well as a birth certificate and Railroad Retirement Board
pension file and none of those repeat--only the 1910 census.  I'm convinced
that it's a bug associated only with the 1910 US census template and I've
reported it as such.

Thanks again for taking the time to check this out.

Kirsten

Kirsten,
Yesterday when I worked on this, I did have one occurrence of a
citation that repeated in both scenarios - footnotes as well as
endnotes.  It was created before the 7.0.0.53 update, using the
Sourcewriter - Newspaper template.  It looked identical to me, but
just to be sure, I deleted the second citation (burial).  Then I
copied the death event citation to the clipboard and pasted it to the
burial.  That cleared up the multiple citations on the endnote report.
 Is it possible for you to try this for your 1910 census that's
causing you the problem?

RE: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Reported Bug?

Bruce:

I think that explains the different results we're getting; my problem seems
to be narrowing down to the 1910 US census using the SourceWriter template.

Many thanks for your kind offer of further help, but I don't know of
anything else to try with this other than to report it--which I have
done--and hope for a fix.

No trouble, just hope I can help.
I am on Legacy 7.0.0.53 using Windows XP SP2.
For my test, I am using a family where I have an obituary for the wife that
gives 4 details, so it is sourced (identically) 4 times.
When I select endnotes, all 4 have the same "footnote" number which appears
just once in the endnotes.
When I select footnotes, each of the 4 instances have a different "footnote"
number and the obituary appears 4 times in the footnotes.
I am NOT using the SourceWriter at all for this family.  The source was
entered long before I upgraded to V7 and I have not changed it at all.
When I include Events in the report (2 are sourced by the obituary), I get 6
numbers and 6 occurrences of the obituary in the footnotes, but just 1
number and 1 occurrence of the obituary if I check endnotes.
I have changed a number of the other settings for the report but none of
them seemed to make a difference (other than the footnote/endnote
selection).
As you say, there are likely several different bugs, but not just with
templates.  The only SourceWriter templates I have used so far are for
cemetery markers, and not for this family.
When you say you use the Descendant Book Report, I assume you are not
referring to the Descendant Narrative Book Report, but I get the same
results with both reports.
I hope this adds some light to the situation.
Anything more I can do to help?

Yes it does make sense, but it's not what I see.  Unfortunately I get
multiples when endnotes are selected.  I hate to trouble you further, but
I'm using 7.0.0.53 and the SourceWriter template for Census records (US,
Federal, 1910 population schedule, Online images).  Is that the same as
you're using?  I suspect there are different bugs associated with different
templates because other sources don't repeat, only the 1910 US.  Could you
let me know if we're on the same "page"?  The Descendant Book Report is the
one I use most often, and it's completely useless in the format that I'm
getting now.  Your comparison would be extremely helpful.

It depends on the setting for Sources
If I select the footnote option for sources, I get multiple occurrences
(looks like a bug)
If I select the endnote option for sources, I get just one occurrence (looks
good)
I think this is also what Dede found (in both cases).
Does that make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do Problem

Carol,

In addition to what Ron said, I don't believe the "o" by your To-Do icon
means the number of To-Do items.  I believe it means there are some To-Do
tasks that are still open.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo database in V7

[myrna20]

Thank you Ron,

Yes, I remember that it took a looong time to download so I took 
that into consideration (and I am on DSL) but it was trying to 
bring up a web page and actually "hung up" the computer.

I was hoping there had not been any changes to the geo DBs. I am 
off now to ***import*** from V6 (on D drive) to V7 (in default 
location).

Thanks again

Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

[Mary Figgins]

I split my entries according to what is on the pages that I file.  The title I 
use for census is Household of __.  Year, state, county, 
city/township, ward, ED, page.   If there is one family on the page it is 
Households of  and .

The reason I do this is because I file each item by Major family name-type of 
record-number.  Such as Dunhaupt-Cen-53 for the 53rd census for someone in the 
Dunhaupt line.  This could include the family name Dunhaupt, Scherr, Bieger, 
Hoelscher or Kaltwasser.  

This file location number goes in the source list name and file id spots.  The 
sources are then sorted in a way that makes it easy for me to find out what the 
next entry number is.  I can also easily find each item in my files.  The 
source list name would be Dunhaupt-Cen-53: 1880 MO, St. Louis - RCF Dunhaupt 
[or whoever the head of household is].  Dunhaupt-Cen-53 would be repeated in 
the file id.

Because of my file system, which works for me, I am a splitter.  The only time 
I don't split is if a record contains many family names.  Such as an index then 
I pick which major name to file under and all the sources can be point back to 
the same copy.  

For me the things of major importance are: 1. Can the information be located in 
my files if someone wants a copy or questions my information.  2.  Can someone 
else find the source for themselves.   Anything else is not as important.  Does 
it really matter if the copy of a federal census came from Ancestry or Heritage 
Quest or Family Search or if you found in at the National Archives?  It is 
available at any of these if you have the other information.  A state census 
would be a different matter as they are harder to locate.

Cathy,
I have been an extreme splitter of census records (one source for each
household every year) but with source writer, am slowly combining to
one source for each county & year.  One of the best features in Legacy
is the ability to name your source so you can easily find it and still
have the proper source title appear on reports.  For census sources,
my source name starts with Cen, then has the 2 digit state
abbreviation, then the county name and then year.  (I don't currently
have any census records outside the USA but would start with country
abbreviation in that case.)

Example:  Cen-KY-Rockcastle-1850
This sorts all the census sources together first by state, then by
county and finally by year so I can quickly tell if I already have a
master source entered or if I need to add one.

RE: [LegacyUG] Splitting vs Not

[Janis Gilmore]

Cathy,

I am what might be called a "moderate splitter."

I title the sources like this:

Tennessee, Dickson - 1850 census (Ancestry)
Tennessee, Dickson - 1860 census (Ancestry)
Tennessee, Giles - 1850 census (Ancestry)
etc.

I do not use USA for census titles, simply because my family have all been
in this country forever. My Master Locations list contains 977 entries, of
which 22 are outside the United States. If I had family with a more diverse
geographic background, I would certainly add "USA" to the front of the
source titles.

As to the old lumping versus splitting argument. I have always tended toward
splitting because it was the only way to get my sources to read exactly as I
wanted them to read (according to the Mills guidelines). With the advent of
Legacy's Source Writer, I am hoping to be able to do more lumping. 

One advantage to splitting is that if, for instance, you find an error in
the sourcing of a census, which you wish to correct, it is easy if the
entire source is contained in the Master Source. You fix the error, and save
and presto! it is corrected everywhere. If, however, you have a source which
is simply 1900 U.S. Census, with all further data in the Source Detail, and
particularly if it is a large family, and you have used the source as
further documentation of birthdates, birth places, date of migration, etc -
then you have to do a whole lot of hunting to find all of the places that
you have put that particular source, and fix it in all of those places.

I think I could have put that better. It's early, and I'm not yet through my
first cup of coffee.

I would also suggest that you check the archives for a lot of lively
discussion on splitting versus lumping. However, much of it was prior to the
Source Writer, so not entirely applicable to the present.

If you open the Master Event Definition list you will see there is a big

another one on the list."  It works exactly as with Locations and

Re: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Reported Bug?

[Dede Holden]

Kirsten,
Yesterday when I worked on this, I did have one occurrence of a
citation that repeated in both scenarios - footnotes as well as
endnotes.  It was created before the 7.0.0.53 update, using the
Sourcewriter - Newspaper template.  It looked identical to me, but
just to be sure, I deleted the second citation (burial).  Then I
copied the death event citation to the clipboard and pasted it to the
burial.  That cleared up the multiple citations on the endnote report.
 Is it possible for you to try this for your 1910 census that's
causing you the problem?

[LegacyUG] My sourcing - Split vs. Not

[Melody B]

I started a separate thread because my post is a tangent to others.

I've never seen my type of sourcing re split vs not mentioned.  To date,
I've only done online research.  I can save individual census page images.
I prefer to have one master source for each digital document (census page
image, bible page image, digital version of a book).

Specifically wrt the census page images, I set one master source referencing
the census page image I have.  I then reference the line number the person
of interest appears on and list in "Actual Text" his particulars from the
census page.  I don't reference any other person in those details.  Any
person that is listed individually on his own line gets his own detail
sourcing.

I do things this way since I'm able to tie the actual image file to a
particular master source.  I won't have to instead go to a directory of a
bunch of image files and hunt for the particular page I'm interested in
(even if I name the files according to their page numbers, it can still be a
hunt when there are many such files).

I'm hoping that this will help me drill down quickly to actual images,
especially since Legacy helps me keep track of Master Source numbers and
lets me set links in the master and detail sourcing to the actual images.

Any comments folks have I'd love to hear.  I've not done genealogy stuff
long so there may be cons to this approach I haven't thought of.

Subject: [LegacyUG] To-Do Problem

Hi,

Have uncovered a problem that "locks-up" Legacy which was caused when I made
a error entering a "To-Do" item for an Individual's information screen.
Here's what I did:
1. Entered a "To-Do" item from the "Individual's Information" screen
2. Forgot to enter a anything in the "Task Needing to be Done" section, and
attempted to save the "To-Do".
3. The program "warned me" of the error, and I then added Text to the "Task
Needing to be Done" Section, and saved it.
4. Then I noticed that the "To-Do" icon was "colored", and indicated "0"
items.
5. When I clicked on the icon, then Upper menus and Icons at the top of the
Legacy window when blank, and the program stopped functioning. The only way
I could shut in down was to reboot the computer.
6. I ran the "Check/Repair" but it didn't help.

Carol
