Gavin,

Legacy does have an Event Clipboard. When you have added the event to 
one person and have added the source for that event look in the lower 
right of the Event Screen. You will see Icons for copying the Event to 
the Event Clipboard and for pasting from the Event clipboard.


Move to the next person, Click Add to add and event and then use the 
paste Icon to paste the copied event (including the source you set up) 
to that person.


NOTE: The Event clipboard is not like a real clipboard. The only thing 
Legacy stores on the Event Clipboard is a pointer to the Event. When you 
paste is uses that pointer to find the Event to copy. If you delete the 
original event the clipboard will not be able to find it to paste a copy.

Hello all,

I am a new user of Legacy and I am currently updating my information in the
program. I have been using the source clipboard extensively and it is a
godsend for speeding up multiple entries. I am now looking at my census
information and wondering if there is a way to assign the same event/fact to
multiple people at once or a clipboard system so I can paste in the
identical details quickly. This problem arises for other events such as
residence as well.

Thanks for your help,
Gavin...

Re: [LegacyUG] Selecting order FGRs are printed? Possible?


Robert,

We have an enhancement suggestion in our recording system to add a sort 
order to the batch printing of FGS reports. I did not see an order like 
you have proposed ie. by ancestral lines. The suggested sorting is by 
Surname, MRIN and a suggestion that they be organized in Descendant 
Order (a little like a Descendant Narrative report sequence) like 
Brother's Keeper uses.

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.

2008-08-17 Thread Jessica Morgan

Thanks Brian.
Is there not an area where you can make detail notes on a repository
item that does not flow to all instances of that repository?

Example if I want to note that the repository is my personal
library on 1,000 items, the way it is set up now is fine.

If I want to note on 20 of those 1,000 items that they are located on
"Shelf 1 of master library", is there not a place to do that
individually?
I was expecting the notes section on the respository tab to allow me to do that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Intro or Cover Letter for Decendants Report

Joshua,

Elizabeth is correct. If you use the Publishing Center (A Deluxe only
feature) in Legacy 6 or 7 you can have an Introduction to the Report
which can be anything you want. The Introduction will then be part of
the Report PDF file so it cannot get lost or forgotten.

To enter the Introduction:
Reports > Publishing Center
Click on the Additional Tab
You will see the Introduction there. It will print after the Table of
Contents. The other items on that tab will precede the Table of Contents.

If you use the File > Load or File Open menu item on the Introduction
Screen you can read in a text or .rtf file so you can keep your list of
things that you are unsure of in a file and read that into the
introduction as required. You could even have separate files for each of
your ancestral lines etc.

I often print out Descendants Reports (PDF format, under "Reports ->

mistakes and also prod these guys to tell me things I don't already know. Usually works
great. However, these reports are never perfect or complete. (No genealogy is, and I'm
often sending these out because I know or suspect problems!)

So anyway, it is important for me to put in notes so that I don't enrage relatives. Things like "I know I'm missing all of Dorrie's step-children", or "I haven't yet entered all the information of Rolf's family tree" or "I'm not sure about the spelling of Great-Gran Pat's last name" or whatever it is. Right now, I put that stuff in email that has the PDF attached. But often it is lost or ignored. (People forward the PDF on to others without including my email, or the print out the PDF and review it long after forgetting what was in the email, or something.)

I'd really like to put that information on the title page of the report, but I
don't see how I can put in a paragraph or three of text on that page. Does
anyone know of a way to do this? Is that a reasonable feature for a future
release of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Books/Print Order When Printing Duplex

2008-08-17 Thread Thomas Herson

I just tried printing a very small book in the duplex mode (double-sided 
printing)


Pages were printed double-sided in this order:

Chapter One printed as pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Chapter Two prints on page 6

Source Citations prints on page 7

Bibliography prints on page 8

Name Index prints on page 9

Nothing prints on page 10

Location Index prints on page11

Title Page prints on the back of page 11 iwth no page number

Table of Contents prints on it's on page with no page number

My questions are:

 Why the blank page 10?
 Why is page 11 printing on the back of the Title Page?

Thanks,

Re: [LegacyUG] Report wording


Graham,

The "XXX married someone" is used when there is a marriage entered but 
no name for the spouse. When you add a spouse YYY it should have changed 
to just XXX married YYY.


Find that family, open the marriage information and click on the Wording 
Options tab. If you see married someone for the first marriage and next 
married someone for subsequent marriages remove the someone from those 
lines.


The surety of a source has no influence on the marriage wording.

Hi Brian
I've not changed the default wording and they still appear as you note. But
equally I have a printout that has exactly what I described. I've since
changed the surety level and all is OK, except I now can't reproduce the odd
wording. Maybe I'll try a dummy new marriage!

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Newspapers > Online archives (issued by the publisher)


Jessica,

The only thing that can be entered for a repository, and this is at the 
Master Source Level, is the Call Number. If "Shelf 1 of master library" 
is the way you find individual items in your library you could enter 
that as the "Call Number" for the sources in your own library. Typically 
the call number would be the number from the repository's catalogue for 
a specific book or document.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching PDF file

There are a variety of 'galleries' in Legacy.  Where do you want to 
attach the pdf to?  If Death Notes, for instance, look for the '+' sign 
next to the Death information field.  Choose Death Pictures.  (I know, 
it doesn't make any sense, but never mind.)  Then look for the File icon 
at the top right and browse for the location of your pdf.  In order to 
keep linked documents actually linked to Legacy, it helps to have them 
in an undisturbed folder somewhere.  Otherwise, they can get renamed and 
moved around and pretty soon you'll forget what you did with them.  In 
the case of an obit though I would be more likely to copy and paste the 
text out of it directly into Death Notes instead of linking the pdf.  
Although I might still link the pdf as a source detail document instead.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting update

2008-08-17 Thread DimJim

While trying to update my Legacy Charting to 7.0.118 today I have
encountered the same problem as described below.
I think the update installs into the program file where the first
pre-release was installed.  I have uninstalled that pre-release
edition, but when updating from 7.0.110, I end up with TWO instances
of Legacy Charting installed - one within the c\Legacy7 folder and the
other in the c\program files\millenia folder.
Has anyone stumbled across a "fix" for this yet?
I was thinking of uninstalling Legacy V7 and then downloading and
installing the latest from the Legacy site with (hopefully) Charting
7.0.118 included and the whole shibang might get installed into the
c\Legacy folder.
Any words of wisdom?

By "similar to the way pictures are" I take it you mean add them to event

[LegacyUG] ... Legacy 7, file/folder sharing ... Jim Hughes

Good Day ...

... I hope all is well

... your help is required about the following:

1.  I have Legacy Family Tree 7 installed on five computers in my house.
2.  I will only have one computer open at a time.
3.  I want the capability to work on Legacy Family Tree 7 from any house 
computer and, I want to be assured that 
I'm working on the 'latest' copy of the file.
4.  So, I want to 'share' Legacy, but, do not know the steps for doing such.
5.  Would some kind soul walk me through the process?
6.  Four computers have XP Home, OE 7; the fifth computer has Vista Home 
Premium, OE 7.

Thanks for your time & consideration.
Take care.

Re: [LegacyUG] ... Legacy 7, file/folder sharing ... Jim Hughes

What do you mean by 'share'?  The best idea I've heard on this list is 
to keep the Legacy file on a flash-drive and move that from computer to 
computer so you always know where you're at.  How to update your file 
between computers would require something more complex I imagine, like 
having them all networked.

Kevin,

I suspected that might be your response, and I appreciate knowing that
you also do not intend to branch into the iPhone arena.  It will be
interesting to see whether anyone tries to provide a decent
genealogical program for the iPhone hardware.  You certainly have the
market cornered in the Windows Mobile area, and rightfully so.  Keep up
the good work.

  No,
we’re not planning on doing an iPhone version either…
There’s 9 years worth of development effort in Pocket Genealogist and

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

been very satisfied with the program, and with the Sony Clié, which

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.

Jim:
You probably need a 6th computer that is your file server / backup machine
on your network.
You could then just set Legacy to point to the data file on the file server
machine and it would always be current.

If you don't have a network, then a thumb drive is your next best solution.

What do you mean by 'share'?  The best idea I've heard on this list is
to keep the Legacy file on a flash-drive and move that from computer to
computer so you always know where you're at.  How to update your file
between computers would require something more complex I imagine, like
having them all networked.

RE: [LegacyUG] Portable genealogy

2008-08-17 Thread KevinRPhillips

John,

 

For your sake I hope someone will. however, genealogy software for handheld
devices is pretty specialized and not something that is going to make some
developer a lot of quick cash.   I initially wrote Pocket Genealogist for my
own use and then realized that it would be something others could use.  (Not
fully realizing how much time it would take to operate a software company)
Your best bet is that some genealogist/developer would do the same for the
iPhone.

 

 I try and keep track of what software is available for each of the
platforms and we keep a list on our website as a courtesy for people who
don't have a Windows Mobile device.  If you do hear of anything else please
let us know so we can update the information.

 

http://www.northernhillssoftware.com/EN/Marketing/competition.htm

 

We actually get a fair number of emails asking about  Blackberry devices,
for example, but as far as we know there is nothing available.

Re: [LegacyUG] ... Legacy 7, file/folder sharing ... Jim Hughes

2008-08-17 Thread John Carter

There are three common options for sharing Legacy files among multiple
computers.

1. The files are on a USB hard drive or memory stick which is moved from
PC to PC.

The other two options require having a home network and remembering one
key restriction - Legacy does *not* have a multi-user daabase.

2. One PC is *always* on.  The folder containing Legacy is shared on the
network and all computers use it - but ONLY ONE PC AT A TIME.  This PC
should have a UPS adequate to keep it running long enough for a proper
shutdown; most UPS units come with software that can read the status of
the unit and shutdown the PC.

3. You have a network-enabled hard drive that is always on an can be
accessed by the computers on the network - again ONLY ONE PC AT A TIME. 
The network drive unit should have a UPS and be able to be shutdown by the
UPS just as a PC would be.

Each computer can either use the files on the shared drive or you can copy
the network files to the computer at which you are working and copy it
back to the network drive when you finish.

Regardless of the option used, always make a backup of the changed files
on the computer you used to make changes.  This ensures that you have a
backup of the most current data if something happens to the shared copy. 
This is especially important with "always on" devices because they will
likely fail sooner than the devices which see interittent use.

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching PDF file

2008-08-17 Thread Gavin Nicholson

It should be noted that the FILE option is only available to deluxe users.
Otherwise, you can work around it by selecting "sound" or "video" and then
selecting the PDF file. The only problem with this is that you have a sound
or video icon for it, however, it does launch your PDF viewer correctly when
you double-click on it.

 

Cheers,

Gavin.

[LegacyUG] Descendant Report

I've said before I'm attempting to create a Descendant Report for a cousin. 
Her parents were cousins; there are many marriages in both sides of the 
family where the persons are related. I've encountered two problems.


As the report is being generated, I get a window that says:
Marriage of XXX and YYY
This marriage has now been processed 3 times.
You could be in an endless loop.
Please note this MRIN ### so you can check into it later.
Continue Processing
Cancel the Report

I've created this report many times in previous Versions but since Version 
7, I get this message. The Help screen says to click the Report Options 
button on the menu and select the Don't Repeat Duplicate Lines option on the 
Format tab.


This feature Don't Repeat Duplicate Lines is grayed out in the Descendant 
Report so I can't select it.


I don't really know what problems this is creating, but I also have this 
problem:


In one chapter, the Father is no. 73. Under him are his children, no.'s 85 
and 86. So if I look at 85 and 86 they are for different people. This report 
has 17 chapters. This happens in over half the chapters; the other chapters, 
they are numbered correctly. I'm using the same Report Options for each 
chapter.


Has anyone else had these problems?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

I have a line of cousins where two first cousins married and for the 
next 200 years, cousins are marrying cousins.  When Legacy tells me I'm 
in a loop, I just nod and tell it to keep processing.


About your second question, children 85 and 86 - wouldn't you expect 
them to be different people?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

I was hoping the first part was okay if I just said go ahead and keep 
processing the report.


I wasn't clear on the second point. If my Dad is No. 73 and under him I'm 
listed as no. 85 and my sister is 86, then when I go to 85 I should see all 
the information about me - marriage, children, etc. and the same for 86, my 
sister, but when I look at 85, it's somebody else and I'm later on in the 
report as No. 102.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

Maybe the number difference is due to different lines arriving at the 
same point.  Are you listed as a different number somewhere else in the 
chart?  Have you tracked backwards to No. 102 to see how it gets to you 
later?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

There's no connection between the No's 102. Different family. I hope this 
all gets corrected soon. I'm at my wits end trying to get this report for my 
cousin. Her father's side is 3000 pages, her mother's side is 4000 pages.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

It's the Descendant Report. I do it through the Publishing Center but even 
if I do an individual Descendant Report for only one family I get the same 
mis-numbering. We must be the only ones up this late at night! Or is it 
morning where you are?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

There's nothing I can find that's called Descendant Report.  There's a 
Descendants Book Report and there's a Descendant Chart.   When all else 
fails, you can try resetting the report options.  Bottom right corner.  
It's not all that much fun when you have all your options set the way 
you want them, but it might help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report

Sorry, that's the one - Descendant Book Report. I've reset the report 
options with no change except of course now the source numbers are 
consecutive instead of the same source number when the source is repeated 
within the report, so I've got 170,000 sources instead of just under 600 
sources listed. I had generated the original report before Ver. 7 came out 
but didn't start working on it until just recently. I hate to gedcom my 
database into Family Tree Maker because not everything transfers correctly. 
I'm not all that good at computer stuff. I wish I knew when the next update 
was going to come out. Some of this hopefully will get fixed.
