RE: [LegacyUG] 34 files to be copied/backup
" I am wanting to install V7 and wish to copy/backup all my files to a CD before the installation. I have 34 files so is there a way I can copy/backup them all at once.

The reason I said backup/copy was because I did not know which was the best way to go for what I was doing - getting ready to install V 7 so thank you for steering me in the right direction of backups rather than copies. I will now spend the time doing backups to the CD of all the files giving them their own names. Many thanks again. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

Legacy Backup "Zips Up" your Family File and all its associated small files, into one file which can be saved to a CD or DVD. If you want the file back, you do Legacy Restore. So if you have 34 Family Trees, you'd have to do Legacy Backup 34 times, making sure you use different names for each backup. It is tedious to do, but the benefit is ease of restoring.

Jane, I establish a source called "DNA Ancestry Participant" or "DNA Relative Genetics Participant", etc. Then I apply that source to each person in my database that has been tested by the various companies. Now I can "show list" for those sources to extract a list of all DNA participants. By tagging descendants of a particular line, I can then show all DNA tested members of that family. Hope this will give you some ideas.

[LegacyUG] Events differ between "Add events" and "assign sources"
Hi listers, I have just started using this program and I am updating my sources. I noticed when I was in the "assigned Sources" screen that there was an event for "Death Cause" and I thought I would add that in. So I assigned a source to it and went back to the "Individual Information" screen and it wasn't in the Events/Facts list so I selected "add" but when I dropped down the list of events "death cause" wasn't there. I added a new one but when I went back to the "assign sources" screen I now had two "Death cause" entries. Upon closer inspection the lists of events between the two screens are significantly different. So can someone tell me how/why they are different.

RE: [LegacyUG] Preferred spouse
Good suggestions.. Warnings -- was getting tired and could have missed them but I'll check the setting. He was definitely deleted. His RIN was unused and the name was no longer in the index. Note to those using RINs -- if you do delete someone accidentally and add them again the RIN will change. He went from 306 to 4030. I wanted him back with his family and used Tools / Renumber RINs and got him back where he was. I liked that... Re preferred: I'd tried selecting either/both -- one at a time and clicking 'set to preferred' -- no change I'd backed the file up and did a Check/Repair - no change. I made a copy of the database and tried to replicate the problem. The asterisk disappeared on one when clicked and I could then 'prefer' the right one. I went back to the original file and it works now too. I don't know what the problem was but it wasn't working before doing the same thing. Problem solved for now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred spouse
Kathy: Make sure you do a database maintenance check at least twice in a row...then do a power off reboot. It sounds like you may have a "ghost marriage" or two lurking in the background. Also running "treefinder" might turn up some stray twigs who are hoping to be come trees. With any multiple marriages, you can usually see a number on the marriage icon. Please note that even though there may be only one "official" marriage, Legacy considers any partnership that result in a birth as being a marital union and will therefore record it as a marriage...In the instance you are describing, she should have 2 marriages...check both her and both of her partners to see if there are duplicates...and keep us posted...

Yes - I was aware of the preferred relationships. Something else strange is now happened with my file. I re-added my cousin's husband that I somehow managed to delete. I'm not sure how that happened really as there are usually enough warnings that there are connections to children and spouses and I didn't see them. Now - I've got 2 asterisks * rather than one. Both my cousin's hubby and her son's father are 'preferred' and I can't see a way to cancel the designation for one of them. It doesn't really make sense that the system would allow 2 to be preferred.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding differences in databases
Pati: You are basically going to have to chose one or the other or live with conversion losses between the two programs; but, given you are a Mac user running Windows using Parallels, you are used to doing things the hard way. I use Legacy for all my inputs and formal database updating. In the past, I used a GEDCOM transfer to FTM just to do Charting that was not available in Legacy; but, I did not do any database updating in FTM. The GEDCOM conversion losses were normally ok, since I was just doing Charting with basic BDM information. In Version 7 of Legacy, we now have wonderful Charting capabilities and file attaching capabilities, so my need for FTM has gone away. By the way, if you do pictures in FTM, it stores those pictures in their database and it is difficult to get them out if you want to use them elsewhere. Legacy just links to your pictures, files, videos, etc, so the pictures are always retained outside of the Legacy database and you have access to them using your Windows explorer. Anyway, good luck with your trials and tribulations of Mac, Windows, Parallels, FTM, Legacy, etc. Just a final note -- Unix, GenBox, & Rootsmagic may be in your near future.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding differences in databases
I have a little different situation. I use Legacy as I prefer the way everything is arranged for viewing, I also use FTM for the online searching and attaching documents to people. I know that I have some information in and attached to FTM that is not in my Legacy database and vice versa. Does anyone have experience with comparing the two and somehow merging the information. (Each may have additons that were made while working in one then moving to the other) Gets very confusing trying to keep them the same.I have also been experimenting with Mac programs since my main computer is a Mac. (I use Legacy and FTM on my Mac within a Parallels interface) The Mac programs have some wonderful interfaces but lack in the online search capabilites and other areas. I also know that Gedcom transferring is not always as accurate as I would like.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding differences in databases
I keep my database (and multimedia) on a USB drive so when taking my laptop on a trip I also take the USB drive. So I never need to worry about keeping two databases synced as there is only the one database on the USB drive. Works great.

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding differences in databases
Pam, Assuming that the DB on your PC has not changed and that you are not really interested in actually indentifying the changes but simply in updating your PC then make sure the back-up on the lap-top is uptodate and email it to your PC. Save the attachment to Legacy/Data on you PC and use File>Restore to create the .fdb file and you will be given the choice of overwriting the old file or changing the name. You can also use a USB stick to transfer it to your PC.

When I travel, I use the backup and restore function in Legacy. When you leave home, backup your database. Copy it onto your laptop and use the restore function in your Legacy program on your laptop. When you get back home, backup your database on your laptop, then copy it to your desktop and use the restore function in your desktop Legacy to restore the database on your desktop.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sentence Override
What I now do is modify the notes text to include all I want to appear and then in the "sentence override", I most frequently have: [Notes][Sources] For my purposes it would therefore be nice to have an option or macro to insert these two in one step rather than type them or insert them individually. Now I am just copy/pasting them but I'm still working on alternatives. Maybe an external tool. I also worry about whether the "left out" default sentence will appear anyway in some reports instead of the alternate "sentence override" which would mess up those reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sentence Override
I liked learning from Help how to use some of the formatting like [-Desc] when the first letter of the description appears in lowercase. I prefer sentence style events, so it works well with my occupation event eg I can put Farmer in Description but the sentence reads - He worked as a farmer. I use an event that includes the various elements available in a nominal roll at the Aus Dept. of Veteran's Affairs on military service, and I use an override when I get a Navy person usual - [HeShe] served in the [Desc]; [HeShe] enlisted [inPlace]; [HeShe] served [onDate]. [Notes][Sources] Navy - [HeShe] served in the [Desc]; homeport/port division was [Place]; [HeShe] served [onDate].[Notes][Sources] Cheers Tracy 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] Adoption challenges
Kathy, has anyone mentioned that if you have more than one spouse, the spouses will appear in the order that you put them into your file, regardless of chronological order? The spouses will display differently though, if you set a preferred relationship - usually defaults to the first relationship. eg sounds like you have = Wife + Husband 2* then Husband 1 (* is the preferred relationship that displays in Family View) Displays/Prints as Husband 2* and children, then Husband 1 and children I'm my husband's second wife, so in my file his 1st wife is listed before me, but my name and marriage is the one I prefer to see in Family View. In any reports I print with my husband's line, I'm listed in chronological order - 2nd.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sentence Override
Elizabeth Richardson wrote Jeff's questions about event text truncation makes me wonder how/when people are using the Sentence Override feature. One specific example from my file is for the Event "Military." My usual sentence for this is "On [Date] [HeShe] was promoted [Desc].[Sources] [Notes]" but on one occasion I used the Override to make it read "On [Date] [HeShe] was seconded for [Desc].[Sources]." There are quite a few occasions when I need to modify a Sentence like that to cater for a specific circumstance that does not justify a new Event Definition. I think where I use the Override most often, though, is to amend a Sentence that ends "...[CR][Notes][Sources]" to read "...[Sources]" because I don't have any Notes included and don't want the Source reference number to appear on a new line." -- 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] 34 files to be copied/backup
Valerie You should be aware that LEGACY BACKUP isn't the same as COPY. Legacy Backup "Zips Up" your Family File and all its associated small files, into one file which can be saved to a CD or DVD. If you want the file back, you do Legacy Restore. So if you have 34 Family Trees, you'd have to do Legacy Backup 34 times, making sure you use different names for each backup. It is tedious to do, but the benefit is ease of restoring.
