[LegacyUG] Source pictures
Hi Listers I'm about to start using source pictures in my file and would like to know if I should continue transcribing the information from the source or leave it for the source picture to display? I can't seem to use the Picture Gallery to add a source picture, I seem to have to add the picture to each source. I noticed that the source picture wasn't sticking when I used the source writer and source picture for different people. It's very time consuming to have to add details to the picture each time you add it to a different individual. Is there a short cut that I'm missing?

RE: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Plagued by Bugs
Thought I might experiment to see if I have a similar bug as I've occasionally used the conversion to RTF. I generally use the Descendant Narrative and have never had any problems in the past - it has always been formatted correctly. However today it is all weird and wacky. Most of the formatting is correct except for the paragraph to do with the marriage of a couple. This reverts to the size of a citation number, and instead of a number an actual citation is included (e.g. ibid...blah blah blah)Any further information is included in the smaller size text. This does not change no matter what the type of source citation method is selected e.g. Endnote or Footnotes. Also no matter what type of citation is selected (and included in the preview) these are not included in the RTF report opened in word. My conclusion, this has to be a general bug and not isolated to you both Kirsten and Ruth. Not that this changes anything but hopefully if it is not an isolated case then it will get fixed sooner rather than later. Hope this helps.

Probably inserting the MRIN 1450 with a tabbed divider would not be in sequence - and unsightly for we 'neatniks'. :-). Would one use 1st place tabbed dividers exclusively? Also, if using Master sources and also MRIN filing, are these kept in the same digital file on the PC or separated with the MRIN's in one digital folder and the Master source in its folder?

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships
Elsie Saar wrote How can I tell Legacy to use my event Relationship for this field instead of its relationship calculator? Do I have to rename this event before I bring the database over to 7? I Legacy is confused between its own use of the word Relationship (which shows relationships of other people to the person you have set as the starting person) and your use of the word as a Field Name. When you are selecting Relationship as a field to view, Legacy is showing its own version, not your custom Event. You need to rename your Event, from the Master Event List and then try again.

Re: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Plagued by Bugs
Yeah! it's not just Kirsten and me. It must be Legacy. I submitted a bug report Tuesday (this is Thursday) but haven't heard from them yet. Maybe they are fixing the problem. I can only hope. I did the report again last night in .txt and the Sources came out just fine in Word except of course the prettiness of the .rtf was gone. Ruth Ruth Nerud wrote Can I ask you, were the Sources at the end of the report formatted correctly? By any chance did you end up with more sources in the .rtf file than in the preview or .pdf file? Sorry if I have caused some confusion. I hadn't looked at both the on-screen and the RTF version of my Reports before. Now that I have done so I see that the Sources for the RTF file *are* incorrect. Everything else is fine - formatting as it should be and Sources where they should be. There seems to be 2 basic problems with the Sources. One is the RTF report is not picking up where exactly the same Source has been used for more than one person or event. So instead of one person's name having Source numbers 1 and 2 (1=My personal knowledge, 2=Person's BC) and another person's have Source numbers 1 and 3, the second person has Source numbers 3 and 3. In other words, the Source My personal knowledge, which is identical Master and Detail, is repeated each time with a new number. Taking one person in my Report, in the screen preview she has the Sources 6, 9, 11 9, 11, 12 6, 13 1, 10, 14 15 for Name, Birth, Baptism, Death, Burial. These are shown correctly in the endnotes. In the PDF version, the same items are Sourced consecutively from 13 to 24. Which leads on to the second error, which is that the Source numbers do not relate to the correct text in the Endnotes. Of those 12 Source, 13 - 24, only 7 are correct. I know there *were* some problems with Citations in version 7 and I know some problems have been corrected in the updates already released. I have lost track of what was reported and what was corrected and what corrections have not reached us yes. Possibly this is one of the reported bugs that will be fixed with the next update. -- 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

Anyway, the top position is for 4th greats working down to my parents' generation in the bottom position. This way I can easily see who is in what generation. If two people are on the same level with no one above them, they're siblings. If there is an above tab between them, they're cousins. I also color code the direct line. Just my way of doing things. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 2:47 PM To: Legacy Subject: [LegacyUG] Filing - Again I am intrigued by using the MRIN as the filing mode and using 2-inch 3-ring binders as my storage mode; however, I have many thousands of MRIN's and would like some advice.

I'm not quite sure if you are editing the Sentence Defnition for a specific Event for one Individual or if you are editing the Sentence for everyone from the Mast Event Definition list. Assuming it is the former, Notes disappear because they are on the Notes tab and you have just opened the Sentence Override tab which was behind Notes and is now in front of it. When you click on the Notes tab again, the Override tab will go behind again. If you editing Sentences in the Master List you are probably forgetting to add [Notes] to your re-defined Sentence and that is why they are not appearing. If you look at the original Sentence Definitions (Edit Sentence Definition) you will see that they comprise ordinary text which does not change (eg ... was enumerated in the) and the fields in which data changes for each record (eg [Date] or [Desc].) Supposing the original Sentence began [HeShe] ... and you wanted it to being with the person's first name instead, you would delete [HeShe], select [FirstName] from the list below and click on Insert.

[LegacyUG] Child relationship to wife's husband
I have a situation where an ancestor married a third wife. He was not with her 5 years after their marriage, but with his first wife. The third wife, in the meantime, has a one year old child 5 years after their marriage. The child may be his, or it may not. It may be illegitmate. How on earth do I input the child?

[LegacyUG] V 7 Problems
I have 3-4 problems that I can't seem to get resolved. I downloaded V7 and installed it. Because the program was not operating just right I decided to uninstall/reinstall. Went to all programs. Clicked on uninstall Legacy and got the message 'unable to open install.log'. Legacy was not uninstalled. Then went to add/remove, clicked on remove, got the same message 'unable to open install. log' as a result cannot uninstall. Reinstalling from CD or downloading does not work either. Then I clicked on Chronology tab got error message 91, followed instructions for correcting this error. Created new file exported to new file, still got error message 91. Deleted file, should have deleted old file instead of new file but did not, then went to charting tab, clicked, got message 'unable to find charting file, please reinstall Legacy' but since I can not reinstall I am not able to use charts. Haven't tried anything else other than mapping and have problems there to but they will have to wait. Am thinking I may have to revert to V6 if I can figure out how to remove V7 but support says there is no way to uninstall V7 without being able to open the install log.

Al, Under Edit, children settings, you can make your choice of how you are going to list the child, then you can set the relationship to Father and other, or Mother. In most cases I believe adopted would be the choice for the children of a same sex marrige, unless one of the couples had been married and had a child with another person, which would make the child in the same sex marriage a step child or again adopted. To be a DESCENDANT by the dictionary means:An individual descended from another. Something derived from a prototype or earlier form.

So instead of one person's name having Source numbers 1 and 2 (1=My personal knowledge, 2=Person's BC) and another person's have Source numbers 1 and 3, the second person has Source numbers 3 and 3. In other words, the Source My personal knowledge, which is identical Master and Detail, is repeated each time with a new number. Taking one person in my Report, in the screen preview she has the Sources 6, 9, 11 9, 11, 12 6, 13 1, 10, 14 15 for Name, Birth, Baptism, Death, Burial. These are shown correctly in the endnotes. In the PDF version, the same items are Sourced consecutively from 13 to 24. Which leads on to the second error, which is that the Source numbers do not relate to the correct text in the Endnotes. Of those 12 Source, 13 - 24, only 7 are correct. I know there *were* some problems with Citations in version 7 and I know some problems have been corrected in the updates already released. I have lost track of what was reported and what was corrected and what corrections have not reached us yes. Possibly this is one of the reported bugs that will be fixed with the next update. -- 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

Re: [LegacyUG] Filing - Again
Maybe so. I don't have my filing system set up to reflect MRINs, but it seems to me that if you have documents filed under MRIN 12345, and you change MRIN 12345 so that it is now MRIN 1, your whole filing system is down the tubes.

So that I'm not confined to tab positions, I make my own dividers using card stock and printable self-adhesive tabs. Name and MRIN is on the tab. Each binder is organized as a descendant chart - though I only use 6 tab positions - anybody 4th great and beyond goes in the same position because I just don't have that much information from that point on. Anyway, the top position is for 4th greats working down to my parents' generation in the bottom position. This way I can easily see who is in what generation. If two people are on the same level with no one above them, they're siblings. If there is an above tab between them, they're cousins. I also color code the direct line. Just my way of

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage Source V7
Dede, That is a really useful suggestion. I have been mining birth, marriage, death and census data, etc. from Ancestry.com for six years. I discovered I could copy text from Ancestry.com and paste directly into Legacy for individual fields and master sources, and forgot all about the Printer Friendly printout. I have not yet tried the new source templates in Legacy 7. Now, faced with the daunting task of reworking sources, it is a comforting thought to have a paper printout from Ancestry.com to refer to while trying to find appropriate templates in Legacy 7.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage Source V7
The source information in Ancestry is what has allowed me to enter sources pretty much correctly into Legacy 6, and, therefore, the Basic Source method in Legacy 7. No need for the new Source Templates. Also, it is worth noting that I became aware of this through the Legacy videos. Geoff also suggests if you have old sources that you have (perhaps?) not formatted as desired, that you do an online search for a reference. The Family Search catalog is just full of them, but many other libraries have such things online, too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
Hi all, No spaces in file names - I have it now so that it's just work left. I duplicated the file structure of \Legacy\Pictures and all sub folders and renamed it \Legacy\Pictures_wo_spaces and all the sub folder under it with copies of the pictures. I found a program with a 30 day free trial called FileBoss, downloaded and installed it and in about 20 minutes had replaced the spaces with underlines in over 4,000 file names! Then I got the picture list using the recommended View Scrapbook list of everybody. Used search and replace in WordPerfect to manipulate that file into a comma delimited txt file which I imported into Excell and by sorting by name have a list which shows all files linked to an individual sorted by individual. Couple of days work, but it will keep me busy while waiting for the update that will properly do the merge that has messed up my file every time I tried it. That program, FileBoss did a beautiful job and does much much more, but I'm not into programming enough to justify $49.95. It's worth a look for those that need it. http://www.theutilityfactory.com/ Art Seddon - Original Message - From: leo macdonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 4:19 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup 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.

[LegacyUG] Legacy User group list and could we have 2 lists
Dear list members, While I appreciate all of the information shared on this list; I would prefer to have 2 lists. Is that possible? When I am really busy I just cannot keep up. Presently I have over 800 unread messages. My desire is to have one list that deals specifically with the Legacy program. The second list would address such items as how do you enter your places, how do you enter your sources; how do you print a page from Ancestry, how do you enter nicknames, how do you enter unknowns, etc. If this is not possible or the majority are opposed; no problem. I will just unsubscribe again and rely on the rootsweb list.
