RE: [LegacyUG] Address: Physical vs Mailing??
Sheri, IMO the location is for where the place actually is and the Address is for the postal address. Having said that, I am one of those who only uses the Addresses only for living people with whom I am in contact and put the house name/number and street in the location fields. This only affects the Geo-location, and the name can be briefly amended to set that, if necessary.

Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:26:41 -0400 Just a little more advanced than a beginner, so I apologize for such a basic question, but how do you put in a location where the mailing address is completely different from the physical address? For example, I have some locations which shows City A and State as the address. Now City A is actually in County A. However, the physical location is actually in another county, County B, same state, and not within any city/town limits, just in the county. Now if I put the mailing address in Legacy, that would be very misleading as it would point research to be done in an incorrect county, and some databases don’t recognize City A being in County B. But if I put in the physical location, it may not be found on the map as a lot of current mapping programs, etc., use addresses supplied by the postal service. I also have another similar situation in which I have some locations which are physically within the city limits of City A, County A, State, but the mailing address is City B, County B, same state, which is quite a distance away. This applies to several residences and cemeteries. I’m trying to input some GPS coordinates, finding the closest “community” areas from the Geo-Code list in Legacy and notes to help clarify these locations, but not sure how that is going to come out on future reports. Oh, and to further complicate matters, there were some major 911 address changes made a few years ago in both these areas and may have made some of my address incorrect. This is even confusing for living relatives in this area in explaining where they live! My first thought is to use the actual physical location. Suggestions? Thanks!

[LegacyUG] Prevent import of Ancestry.Com UID
When I import the gedcom of the tree I have at Ancestry.Com, the import process tells me that there is an unidentified tag UID. I do Not want to import this. I go to the Customize screen. UID is listed under Unrecognized items. I click Create an event for this tag, enteringAncestry UID as the Event Name. I click on [UID]=EVEN Ancestry UID in the Import these items box. I then click the Remove button which places it in the Items not to be imported list. Except that UID gets imported anyway. Any idea what I need to do to get rid of this tag? I know that I will still have an Event in my Event definitions list. That's trivial to get rid of. But clicking on every single record in the family file to get rid of the UID event for each person is hugely annoying and time wasting. Other bugaboos... On the Customize screen, I enter BUGFIX for Optional text to precede unrecognized items. I close the screen and then open the screen again. BUGFIX is gone. That doesn't seem quite reasonable to me. Annoying thing about Ancestry.Com - I am the home person in my tree. On export, Ancestry.Com so very nicely puts Y in my name suffix. Do what? So every time I download my tree from Ancestry to merge in new data, there I am as Melody Songofruth, Y. Sheesh! I figure they are doing it to indicate the person who is the home person.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tree list problem
It seems odd to work on the basis that the lowest RIN is the top of the tree. I have normally found that, using such things as IGI, I work backwards and so the next generation back will tend to have higher RINs than the ones before, not lower. Also, how does one define the top. Is it the longest back on the male line or the longest back in any line? My earliest ancestor was only found recently and the RIN is in the latest 20% of the total. Also, how does one treat people who appear more than once in the tree (middle English villages were very closed communities).

Re: [LegacyUG] Tree list problem
There is NO attempt to pick the top of the tree in the tree finder.

The assumption by the person who started this thread that the name listed in the tree finder was supposed to be the top of the tree was incorrect.

Re: [LegacyUG] events - creating new
I was actually talking about defining a new event setup, not copying an individual events data. In other words, I'm not taking about copying an event from John Smith over to Jane Smith. Rather I'm talking about adding a brand new event. For example - ALT MARRIAGE isn't in the list, so I've got to create a new event and define all the various sentence wordings and such. It was clear in my mind when I typed it - I knew what I meant. But as I re-read it I realize that wasn't obvious from how I typed it. Sorry 'bout that.

Do you mean something in addition to this? Pat Robert57P via Gmail wrote: Resending this - I don't see it in the archives, and don't recall seeing any responses. If I overlooked responses, I apologize. The recent discussion about ALT MARRIAGE event (which needs to be created) brought this to mind: When adding a new event, one thing I've just begun to try (in otherwords, I have not generated any reports so not sure of the impact): I start the event name with a period. That way I can see if this is a precanned event that came with Legacy, or an event that I added (and thus that might need to be revisited and tweaked). I would think it might be wise to do this with a modified Legacy event also? Make a new one instead of modifying an existing one, the new one with an altered name and leave the precanned on in place? Actually, as I think about it, it might be easier the other way around. Modify all the Legacy pre-canned ones to start with some character. That way those surely this is set up right events would be easy to spot. Thus whenever I do a GEDCOM import it would be obvious which ones came in via the import and thus might need visiting/tweaking. (With my current method of adding a . to MY events and leaving Legacy as is, the newly imported events would become intermixed with Legacy's pre-canned ones 'cause neither would have that leading special character. So it would not be obvious which ones might need closer inspection.) Anyone have any thoughts on this? I wish Legacy had a COPY EVENT, but I'm not seeing that as an option.

Re: [LegacyUG] Addendum to my relative who never married but adopted a child problem

I also have Show line back to starting person and Show spouses for children who will have a main entry ticked. Then I ran the Preview of the report with the error and the error is still there. The first person (Sarah McKaig) is married and her husband died in 1911; that is correct. The following person (Margaret McKaig) was not married but she adopted a child. It is the entry for Margaret on the report tht shows the incorrect d. 1911. Could it have something to do with me going to the Marriage Information, then Wording Options screen for Margaret and doing an override for the wifes' first marriage, She never married. Howard Duff was adopted. Of course the icon for the spouses on the basic information page lights up and if clicked on the Husbands of Margaret McKaig it shows unknown. Can you suggest a more correct way to do all of this if it will clear up all the problem and still show the adopted child?

Also, how does one treat people who appear more than once in the tree (middle English villages were very closed communities). Finally, there is the ancestor view which can let you go up the various routes, why is there a need for this sort of logic in the first place.

If I overlooked responses, I apologize. The recent discussion about ALT MARRIAGE event (which needs to be created) brought this to mind: When adding a new event, one thing I've just begun to try (in otherwords, I have not generated any reports so not sure of the impact): I start the event name with a period. That way I can see if this is a precanned event that came with Legacy, or an event that I added (and thus that might need to be revisited and tweaked). I would think it might be wise to do this with a modified Legacy event also? Make a new one instead of modifying an existing one, the new one with an altered name and leave the precanned on in place? Actually, as I think about it, it might be easier the other way around. Modify all the Legacy pre-canned ones to start with some character. That way those surely this is set up right events would be easy to spot. Thus whenever I do a GEDCOM import it would be obvious which ones came in via the import and thus might need visiting/tweaking. (With my current method of adding a . to MY events and leaving Legacy as is, the newly imported events would become intermixed with Legacy's pre-canned ones 'cause neither would have that leading special character. So it would not be obvious which ones might need closer inspection.) Anyone have any thoughts on this? I wish Legacy had a COPY EVENT, but I'm not seeing that as an option.

[LegacyUG] definite source problem
I definitely have some sort of sourcing problem going. I would love to know if anyone else if having a similar problem. I am doing some editing on an individual named John Lawson Clark. I earlier noted that for some reason the 1900 census of his son John C. Clark had attached itself to every event for John Lawson Clark. I weeded all of those instances out for John Lawson Clark. I also replaced some of the John Lawson Clark census entries with newer sources, written with the Source Writer. When viewed in the Assigned Sources window for John Lawson Clark, all of these sources appear to be in order and proper. However, when I run a chronology report or an individual report for John Lawson Clark, some sources for John C. Clark appear appended to the reports. These sources do NOT appear in the Assigned sources window, but appear consistently in the report sources. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening here? I am working in Legacy 7.0. I have backed up the file and run a check/repair. The erroneous sources continue to appear in reports.

Trying to decide once and for all if I should upgrade to ver 7 and although I am leaning towards upgrading I still haven't made my mind up yet Any current ver 7 users(upgraded from 6) care to chime in on this - it would be appreciated Thanks in advance 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] Age in reports
Ruth, I did a search in Help and I think what you want is only found in the Chronology Report: Chronology Report (Deluxe Edition only) The Chronology Report is produced from the Chronology View screen. (See Chronology View for more information or Chronology Report Example for a sample report.) This report shows an individual and all the surrounding events associated with that person. These include the person's birth, christening, death and burial information, his or her individual events, marriages and marriage events, the birth of children, parents, and the individual and marriage notes. All these events are arranged on the view in sorted order so you can see what affected this person throughout his or her life. Options You can include and exclude many items in this report, including a timeline chart and ages column to further illustrate the life events of the individual. These options are all selected on the Chronology View Options screen. But this only shows the age for one spouse. Reminder to the list - from Family View, click ctrl-a to see ages of both persons (on screen) for major data. You can print a report from that screen, but only for the couple in view. Too bad you can't select a range of RINs! Susan Daily On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 8:17 AM, Ruth Nerud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to get the age at marriage to print in reports?

RE: [LegacyUG] source attaching to numerous events
Actually, Janis, I am quite confused! I may have missed some of the details as I have been away, but as I understand it imitially you had some sources that were attached to events in the reports of person A's son when they really should have only been attached to events relating to person A. These sources were not visible on the assigned sources screen but only in the report either Chronological or individual. I am not very clear whether they were attached to all events - including the Vital Events (BMD etc). You mentioned earlier that you were deleting them but how - if they are not in the assigned screen? If they only appear in reports they would still have reference numbers indicating to which events they are attached. Is there anything significant here? Have you looked at the Sources Master List and if so does the son appear against the list of users of that source? If there are not many users of this Master Source would it be possible to delete it? I appreciate that these are rather random thoughts but as yet I cannot picture clearly what is happening - a further thought - what happens if you export just the son to a Gedcom (with sources etc) and import him back into a new Family file - might tell us something.

I rewrote them using the new Source Writer (one was an old-style census citation, which I replaced with a new one), but the new one has stuck to the wrong person, too.

[LegacyUG] V7 Entering new blood relative, relationship does not appear
I've checked the mailing list archive for June and July, and don't see an answer to this one... In Legacy Deluxe version 6, once I had Set Relationships, the Family view shows Father, Grandmother, Great-Aunt, etc. When I add a new person, that person's relationship (if any) immediately appears. Deluxe V7 works the same way, except that when I add a NEW person (e.g., grandfather of Self), the relationship stays blank. I need to re-do Set Relationships (or whatever it's called) every time I add a new person. Is there a setting I need to change?

RE: [LegacyUG] V7 Entering new blood relative, relationship does not appear
Ed, Included in version 7 there is much more robust set relationship calculator and it will calculate all relations through a selected number of generations for both blood and non-blood relationships. This allows you to see all of the relationships that you have with the individual. Next to the relationship shown on those that you have multiple relationships there is a plus sign which will allow you to see more, by right clicking and choosing view relationships. But with this increased functionality comes additional processing overhead that the programmers probably decided that it would be best to avoid when adding another individual. I love the new relationship calculator, but look at it like I do the relation colors. Just as in version 6 I had to reapply the colors, I also have to reapply the relationships. It doesn't take much time.

RE: [LegacyUG] To Upgrade or not - going from Ver 6 to Ver 7
I would say upgrade. Legacy is the best genealogy program around, I've been using it for ten years or more. I have at one time or another used just about all of them PAF (very good), FTM (ok but is very pricey and kind of bossy), family origin (Out of business), and several others no real complaints against any. Legacy has some problems but they are being worked on, some solutions may never be realized just lived with till it can be changed to something that works. As our operating system changes the programs change to utilize their improvements so eventually you will have to upgrade so might as well upgrade and improve your use a small amount at a time rather than get far behind and have to make a bunch of changes.

Re: [LegacyUG] about to install 7
You should routinely (after any data entry or changes) be making backups of your files anyway, so the answer to that is yes. For purposes of the upgrade, I would save the backup files to a different folder on the same computer (not really necessary but can't hurt). There is no reason to burn to a CD, email them to someone else, etc. (You *should* do at least occasional off-site backups for your normal ones however) As to the gedcoms, assuming the information included in those files was imported into a Legacy file, or they were created FROM your Legacy data, there is really no need to specifically back them up. The Legacy installation itself is not going to change or move the existing gedcoms in any way. If you installed Legacy 6 in the default location then you can install Legacy 7 over the top.

Re: [LegacyUG] To Upgrade or not - going from Ver 6 to Ver 7
I think it depends what kind of things impress you. I think you can try Version 7 for free and probably decide better for yourself than anyone else could possibly tell you. Although the free version won't show you much you haven't already seen in Version 6. So maybe not. It's a 29 or 22 dollar investment. It's not like you're deciding on your next car model. If you don't like it you can export your family as a gedcom and import it back into Version 6 if you've moved on somewhat in the meantime. In some ways I like it alot, in some ways I don't like it at all and am waiting for things to get fixed, but for that matter, I'm still also waiting for them to murder the Research Guidance splash screen from version 6 and who knows if that'll ever get done.
