Re: [LegacyUG] A NOT Residence event?
That's a good idea - I hadn't thought of that. I haven't used the To Do list much at this point (can we say newbie even after one year?) I think I might combine this with Connie's suggestion about making a NOT in census event.

But you might also make an entry in the research notes that she is not found in her father's household in that census year. Jenny, the US pre-1850 census records list only head of household, then there is a number in a column, by (usually) 5-year age group, for the others in the household.

In going thru some sources/citations, I realized that some census information actually confirms that a certain person is NOT living at a certain place. For instance, A had a daughter whose age makes it evident on a particular census that she no longer lived at home (on pre-1850 census). What sort of Event Type would you come up with for this? I would like to keep track of this because it helps keep things straight in my head with all these unnamed - only numbered - offspring. Right now I have a NOT Residence event. I called it that because census info so often turns into a Residence event. My sentence renders out similar to She was not living with her parents in such-and-such-a-place in such-and-such-a-year. I put a note in the citation for this event to make it more clear that this does not mean that she did not live in such-and-such-a-place at that time, only that she didn't live with her parents.

Re: [LegacyUG] Slave Owner event?
Right now it's just that he is listed as the head of household on a Census (pre-1850) and there are slaves listed as being in that household. I put the number of slaves in the Description field. I end up with something like He owned 7 slaves in 1840 in , Overton, Tennessee, USA. If there is no description, then the sentence still works because it is He owned slaves The main thing I'm trying to do is keep the association with slaves visible. I'm not sure what to do with that info later. I find it interesting that some ancestor lines (down the entire line) never owned slaves while others seem to have on a continuing basis, especially when the two family lines co-exist in the same basic location over a large amount of time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Names Ancestry.com and US Census
Hi John, I use the census as an event (not just as a source as others do). In the events notes I add a sentence that reads His name is incorrectly indexed by Ancestry.com as Mazzari I do not use the AKA because this is not a name that your grandfather ever used and the it was an error by the individual indexing the census. Also I have found that indices for the same census image complied by Ancestry, Heritage Quest, etc may show different names for the same individual. Finally, as someone else stated - in Ancestry when you are on the individual's preview page (not sure exactly what it is called) on the left it has a place to click for name corrections. The yellow triangle notes that there are other optional names for this individual. These names are then also listed in index thus if you make the correction anyone else following you will be able to access your grandfather's image with the correct name.

[LegacyUG] Family Tree Charts in the Royal Fashion?
Hello, Has anyone ever tried to create a family tree chart in Legacy somewhat similar to the way I've seen British royal family trees presented? That is, a chart that shows the subject and all of his/her spouses (spice?) on one row, then all of the this person's children and spouses on the next row, then on the next and all following rows, the chart shows the same, but only for the PREFERRED line. For example, you can see one for Princess Diana at http://www.althorp.com/images/familytree.pdf. I'm not really concerned about the format of the chart, just the content (people). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alternate Names Ancestry.com and US Census
As others have said, you can submit a correction to Ancestry. I have done so many times. The indexers did the best they could. Some were better at the job than others. As to you your question, if your source citations gives the correct location of the census page, how Ancestry has it indexed doesn't really matter. The index is NOT the source, and there is no reason to reference the error. A future researcher who doesn't use your page reference, but insists on using an unneeded index, isn't taking advantage of your research anyway.

*Thanks Ron and Elsie. My problem is that the format doesn't handle more than one person such as; Betsey B. and WIllard Meacham transferred property to Philo Sage.

BTW, I liked your approach to Census Events a few months ago so much that I'm going through and modifying all my Censii data. Thanks for that.

[LegacyUG] Searching for FHL film numbers in to-do list
Does anyone know if there is a way to search for FHL film numbers in the description section of an individual To-Do task? I would like to create a list of all the individual to-do items for each microfilm number. That way, I can tag all the indiviudal to-do tasks and create a to-do report with just those tasks when I go to view the film at my local FHC. So far, I have not figured out a way to search the to-do list. Currently, I keep track of every individual to-do task with an FHL film number in Excel as well as in my Legacy database. In Excel, I can filter by film number and tag those to-do items in Legacy to print my to-do report. However, I would really like to not have to use Excel to do this because it requires double entry of to-do tasks. Maybe there is no way to do what I'm wanting to do, but I just wanted to double check with other users.

[LegacyUG] TITLE RUNNING INTO FOOTNOTES
Hello: I am working on a Decendants report. On the first page of the report, the title SECOND GENERATION (CHILDREN) is running into the footnotes. It seems to me that: 1. the title should automatically flip to the top of the second page 2. or, you should be able to start a new page for the generational titles. Any help appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching for FHL film numbers in to-do list
It does seem odd that all the To-Do fields got left out of the Search options. The only place I've seen it is under Search Replace and that won't help you. There are a few Filter options in the To-Do list itself but not ones that will help you either.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching for FHL film numbers in to-do list
If you are willing to modify your ToDo items, you could put the FHL film number in any one of three places and then select just that film number. These places are the Category, Locality, Repository. Using any one of these you can get a (customized) ToDo report for either just the selected (Category, Locality, Repository) or for all TjoDos sorted by (Category, Locality, Repository). The advantage of Repository is that you can get ToDos for more than one Repository without getting all ToDos by tagging the desired Repositories whereas with Category Locality it is just one or all. It doesn't get you what you want without some work, but could be useful for all new ToDo items.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching for FHL film numbers in to-do list
Bruce, Thanks for the advice. That could probably work for repository b/c if I see a number in that field, then I'll know the true repository is FHL. I may try that with new ones. I think I heard awhile back of someone putting a general to-do item with the film number as repository and listing all the people in the description tab. Of course, I kind of like the to-do sheet Legacy prints for each individual b/c it has enough room to take notes. I don't think one to-do sheet with 50 people on it would have enough room to take notes. So I think I will go with your way. Thanks again!

I use scanned copies of death certificates as Source Detail pictures. The source is Death Certificate or some particular location's death certificates. I don't think I would use them as 'death pictures' because that use of Death is an Event, so unless I had a picture of the person's death (a gruesome thought) I don't actually have a picture of the Event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Death Certificates
You apply the Master Source for whatever pieces of information you're using it for (birth, death, parent's name, cause of death, burial location - they're usually quite the treasure-trove.) It sounds like you've gone at it backwards. Usually you enter the information, then click on the Sources icon and either Cite a Master Source or Add a new one. Since you've already created the Master Source, go back to the person and enter some of the information from the death certificate, then Cite the Master Source for the information you enter. It's all pretty clear with big buttons. Link the picture of it into Source Detail as further proof. It sounds like you're trying to make the Death Certificate itself into an Event. I think what we're telling you is don't. Use it as a Source of information.

I have at long last got my computers talking to each other again - but what a job! At least my main one is now running about three times the speed it was, and no it wasn't a virus, just 5 years of accumulated dead ends and other rubbish! At last I have time to think. Initially, I have been playing around with the Address Report, however I cannot get this to work as I think it should. In particular I cannot get it to show a picture, nor does it have the facility to customise the fields. I cannot see the point of having a picture in the Address Screen if it cannot be printed either. This may be me so I will have another look at it later. However, Salvation is in the Name Tags and success or otherwise depends on the detail in the location field for burial. This does have a customisable (Ugh!) What to print tab and one can choose the burial fields and Lat/Long. Furthermore, if you temporarily put the cemetry/gravestone pic. in the individual's gallery (and starred) it will print. Please try this and come back to me. I had also been adding copies of the death certificates, pictures, etc., to the buried + fields but have found they don't print or show up on the web page creation Legacy does, again I could be doing something wrong. In a nutshell, none of the vital record pictures will print/display on website. As you know they can be included in an event and included that way. Personally for websites, I code them myself and put them where I wish. Similarly this can be done in Word or OpenOffice Writer for print.

The other, well... Anyway, I'm working on a different computer right now (my main system is a little under the weather so to speak) and I don't have all my Legacy files switched over yet, but in the Burial field on the individual's information screen, I do have information there. I have the date of death in the death date field and the death location is listed as City, County, State, Country. In the buried section, I have the date of burial, if known or at least an approximation of the burial date, and in the location field, have City, County, State, Country. I'm still experimenting on whether or not to put an address, plot, GPS, or whatever in addition to the City, County, State, Country in these location fields. I am thinking about doing that in my event location fields too. Back to the individual's information screen. In the buried section, if you click on the + icon, I do have the cemetery's address linked as a burial address, which has basic contact information, GPS coordinates of the cemetery itself, information on the cemetery, etc., the general stuff that would apply to all located in the cemetery. From what I've been reading in some of the posts, this may not be how to use that entry. But this basic information has shown up on some of reports I've played around with and I have been able to run a report from that Event Address to list all the people associated with that entry. I had also been adding copies of the death certificates, pictures, etc., to the buried + fields but have found they don't print or show up on the web page creation Legacy does, again I could be doing something wrong. So, I'm using the cemetery event to record pretty much the same information that's in the buried fields, and putting as much individual grave site information as I can in the notes field along with pics of the graves, etc. Sometimes the simplest things can be the most complicated!

Of course, I kind of like the to-do sheet Legacy prints for each individual b/c it has enough room to take notes. I don't think one to-do sheet with 50 people on it would have enough room to take notes. So I think I will go with your way. Thanks again!

These places are the Category, Locality, Repository. Using any one of these you can get a (customized) ToDo report for either just the selected (Category, Locality, Repository) or for all TjoDos sorted by (Category, Locality, Repository). The advantage of Repository is that you can get ToDos for more than one Repository without getting all ToDos by tagging the desired Repositories whereas with Category Locality it is just one or all. It doesn't get you what you want without some work, but could be useful for all new ToDo items.

I would like to create a list of all the individual to-do items for each microfilm number. That way, I can tag all the indiviudal to-do tasks and create a to-do report with just those tasks when I go to view the film at my local FHC. So far, I have not figured out a way to search the to-do list. Currently, I keep track of every individual to-do task with an FHL film number in Excel as well as in my Legacy database. In Excel, I can filter by film number and tag those to-do items in Legacy to print my to-do report. However, I would really like to not have to use Excel to do this because it requires double entry of to-do tasks. Maybe there is no way to do what I'm wanting to do, but I just wanted to double check with other users.

[LegacyUG] printing problem
Hi I am new to the user group and by asking this question there is probably a really simple answer. I have tried virtually every permutation of print layout I can find on Legacy but I haven't found a printout that gives an old fashioned ancestry chart. You know the type of thing.. names with birth and death dates from the oldest ancestor at the top and spreading vertically downward to the youngest. My father is 78 and is really interested in the genealogy of the family but it needs to be in a simple chart so he can just view it as is! Can anyone help me as to how I can get this on the Legacy system.
