RE: [LegacyUG] Portable genealogy

[KevinRPhillips]

John,

 

No, we’re not planning on doing an iPhone version either… There’s 9 years
worth of development effort in Pocket Genealogist and we aren’t going to
replicate that on another platform.  (Besides, the list of requested
enhancements for Pocket Genealogist is plenty to keep us busy for years!)

 

The iPhone is getting a lot of attention at the moment, but it’s still a
relatively small market.   Also Microsoft isn’t about to give up its lead
without a fight… now that they have some  competition shaking things up
it’ll get interesting to see what’s coming in the next couple of versions of
Windows Mobile.

I have used GEDStar Pro for several years, running it on a Sony Clié NX60.
I have been very satisfied with the program, and with the Sony Clié, which
operates with the Palm O/S.  Recently I bought an Apple iPod Touch 32GB
device, which I like very much.  I was disappointed to find that the only
genealogy software available for the iPod Touch/iPhone devices is totally
inadequate to the needs of any serious genealogist.  I wrote to the author
of GEDStar Pro, asking whether he had any intention of porting his program
to the iPod devices.  His answer was that he is close to retirement, and
does not intend to undertake such a challenging process at this late date.
Hopefully the authors of The Pocket Genealogist, or some other enterprising
software manufacturer, will see the opportunity and write a program for the
iPod group of hardware that interfaces with Legacy.

Yes. The latest update is build 7.0.0.55, with a date of July 13, 
2008.  It seems a little slow this time, but remember, they came home 
from a cruise (probably had to recover from that), might not have a 
new version ready for us.

You can check if you have the latest update by opening Legacy, going to Legacy

[JLB]

I often do the same thing but using rtf with underlines inserted for the 
missing things.  (The underlines are a report option if you haven't seen 
that.)  Of course it would be easy to add notes at the top of an rtf.   
For pdf's I use my handy-dandy pdf editor from Zeon, called PDF Plus.  
It's only $60 compared to several hundred for Acrobat and I use it 
extensively.

[LegacyUG] Selecting order FGRs are printed? Possible?

[Robert Carneal]

Is it possible to print Family Group Sheets so that when printed, 
they will be in corrected order preferred by the user?


I would like to keep two books of FGRs. One book containing all of 
them over several volumes,  printed according to last name, first 
name.  The other book I would like to keep are the FGRs printed 
according to which family they are located in, like the Mary Hill 
colors. I.e., print paternal grandfather, paginated, print paternal 
grandmother, also paginated, then print maternal grandfather 
paginated, and also maternal grandmother paginated. Has anyone does this?


Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Setting up Source Writer for English 1901 Census

[Jenny M Benson]

Russ Stephens wrote
I am trying to use the source writer to set-up an English 1901 census 
record but am finding it confusing.
Do I set-up just one Master Source for the census or a Master Source 
for each Jurisdiction County?
The 1901 image contains Administrative county, Civic parish, 
Ecclesiastical parish etc.
Where does one record this information, in the Location Details field 
or does this contain the actual street address of the household?

Any help would be greatly appreciated


My choice is just to have one source for each English Census, one for 
each Welsh, etc.  Therefore I do not record any "Jurisdiction County" in 
the Master Source.


In the Source Details I put the name of the Civil Parish and the name of 
the County in Location Details.


I don't think it is necessary to record the Ecclesiastical Parish, 
Parliamentary Borough,  Rural Sanitary District etc, etc.


Personally, I don't include the Street Address in the Source Citation. 
Opinions differ over whether the street address should be included in 
the Event Address or in the Place field, along with the Civil Parish, 
County and Country.  (I have just moved from the former camp to the 
latter!)

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriage Records - Volume & Page Number

[Syble Glasscock]

Sorry to say divorce is all to common in the U.S.  Our divorce records actually 
give additional information such as the original marriage date, and the number 
of children, and sometimes this really helps with the research, so even due to 
some being listed as "living", I'd like these in my database for my research.
 
Marriage announcements/engagements are common in some newspapers.  I've 
actually found a couple that are from the 1950's, it's interesting to read who 
was present etc. as was common to publish then, so really want to include them, 
hadn't even considered the later ones.

I've been entering each of these as a Marriage event, but could be just added 
to the Marriage notes section.
Thanks,
Syble

Syble,

I do not publish divorce and marriage announcements. However, it should be
noted that in England, prior to the 1920s (I think) divorce was virtually the
preserve of the very rich as parliamentary approval was required. It has really
only become common in the last 50 years so many divorcees are still alive.

These are not from an index, they are from the original records at the county
courthouse.  I like to create a "timeline" with my Events, but after
thinking over this Vol. & Pg. # issue, you're right, adding it to the
marriage notes would get it into reports.  I don't add the sources to
reports. One of my issues with reports is the length of them, and those not
really into genealogy get overwhelmed with some of the reports.



How do you handle divorces & marriage announcements?

Syble,

I cannot see how one can describe the volume and page numbers as part of an
event. They are details from an index to the source document identifying the
location of the source.

To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com






I want the Volume & page number to print out on reports, not just on the
source.  The only solution I've found is to make a marriage event including
the Vol. & pg number, I also include the recorded date and officiator when
I
have it.



It looks like it would be so simple to have a space for this when you add the
date & place of marriage. Adding marriage events just makes the reports
longer, and there is plenty of space by the date and place line on the Family
Report for other information.



I was wondering how others handle this.

Thanks,

Syble Glasscock

Re: [LegacyUG] Master source repository for census

[Elizabeth Richardson]

Ok, so the indexes have errors. So what? Are you recording the index or the 
census?

I wholeheartedly agree with Jacki about the egregious indexing errors 
found in Ancestry -having names in the index that in no way resemble what 
is found on the census image.  It especially annoys me that  you can only 
provide an alternative spelling, and note that it is a transcription 
error, or else you can submit a more serious comment.  But you can't get 
them to change transcription errors that are obvious when you compare the 
index with the census image.  In my census events, I record the dates and 
corrections I submit to Ancestry.  It was my hope that some day 
Ancestry.com clean up their census databases and remove the transcription 
errors.  The problem is that once Ancestry.com introduces an error into 
their index, Ancestry subscribers will copy the erroneous data to their 
family tree, and before you know it there will be four individual family 
trees using the incorrect information.  This is why I keep track of census 
index errors in Ancestry.com and corrections I submit.  And that is why I 
continue submitting corrections.  The problem is not with someone using my 
database being able to find the original source.  The problem is with 
errors that are propagated on Ancestry.com.

From: "Jackie King" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

With the number of indexing errors I have found using the Ancestry 
census renditions, I do like to note those that I got from that 
particular source. (Not that other sources don't also have indexing 
errors - I just find Ancestry particularly egregious - especially in 
linking the wrong images to people or having names that in the index in 
no way resemble what is found on the census image.)


With items I have found on Ancestry indexes, I do have a separate master 
source for each census - something like Ancestry 1860 United States 
Census - with the proper sourcing - and in any details I can also note 
the error (says indexed as Poploski sted Peacock). My other census 
results are grouped as 1860 United States Census.


If Steve has a large number found at one particular library - and feels 
the necessity of noting it - it might be one way around the problem.

[LegacyUG] Setting up Source Writer for English 1901 Census

[Russ Stephens]

Hi all
I am trying to use the source writer to set-up an English 1901 census record
but am finding it confusing.
Do I set-up just one Master Source for the census or a Master Source for
each Jurisdiction County?
The 1901 image contains Administrative county, Civic parish, Ecclesiastical
parish etc.
Where does one record this information, in the Location Details field or
does this contain the actual street address of the household?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advanced
Russ Stephens

[LegacyUG] Book Source Citations and Bibliographies

[Thomas Herson]

I have created several books. I have selected that source citations and 
bibliographies are printed for all the books.


Also, for each book I have opted to have the sources show as footnotes at 
the end of each page.


One, and only one, of the books will not print the Bibliography (or show it 
in the Table of Contents) when I have the sources shown as Footnotes. The 
Bibliography will print for this one book when I opt to show the sources 
after the last chapter.


Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

RE: [LegacyUG] Use of Correct Given Name in reports

[Cary]

Funny, I like the way it works now.  Having a "reports name" in addition to
the "real" names seems overly complicated to me.  However, if you always
want reports to show a specific name, you could always make that the chosen
name now and it would be the one that appears on reports.

Janis,

If I remember correctly it does but also has the disavantage that you cannot
remove it without losing a name. For example not only would George "Calvin"
Gilmore use Calvin when referring to the person eg. Calvin married - no
quotes. but would write George "Calvin" Gilmore born 25 Dec 1881 with
quotes.

By using George Calvin "Calvin" Gilmore the only time the name in quotes
appears is on your screens, provided that when compiling reports you have it
set to remove names in quotes.

Thank you Sherry!!! I sincerely appreciate it, as I was about to print
and send the report to others in pdf. Instead, I have put it to RTF

harm no foul, I only had three or four in this particular fdb. (Now my
large one, there's going to be over 300 currently and I'm not half way

There are many varying views on this subject. I create a different Master

census (Ancestry)" and "Indiana, Posey - 1860 census (HeritageQuest)."

Actually, you will probably only duplicate the census source for a county or
two, presuming that only your most concentrated area of research will have
had you reading census in several different places.

Others loathe the idea of duplicating the Master Source, and prefer one
Master Source for 1860 Indiana census or even 1860 census for all states.

You could record the repository and call numbers in the comments tab and
tick the box that makes it a part of the source citation.
