JL:

It's the expertise part that's missing.  I remember all the problems people
had when v.7 was first released and they tried to keep both 6 & 7 on their
systems.  With 7,000 records in my database and 40 years of research, I'm
really hesitant to start playing around with things.  I already have a big
mess--don't want to make it a huge one.  If someone knew an absolutely,
positively foolproof way to do it, though, I'm just about ready to try.

Well, now somebody says it will.  I'd say the best option would be to
simply try it.  Probably it's still possible to get an installer for
v.6. and if you still have your v.6 deluxe registration key that should
do it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering New Zealand Locations

[Dawn Crowley]

*I don't have any NZ research to do.*  However, I would definitely want 
to differentiate between a region at some level and a city.

For other locations, do you want to take into consideration boundary 
changes over the years?  I tend not to bother, since this is such a 
small country it is usually pretty easy to find a place, and use 
whatever I consider to be common usage (such as Glenfield, Auckland, 
New Zealand for the place where I spent the first 12 years of my life).


Once upon a time the Auckland province extended all the way down past 
Taupo and Gisborne (roughly).  The provinces are long gone 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_New_Zealand), but Taupo was 
still in the Auckland province in 1952 (according to my copy of The 
New Zealand Guide), and in 1972 it was in the "Auckland Prov. Borough 
within Taupo County" (Wises New Zealand Guide, 5th edn).  These days 
the town of Taupo is in the Taupo District and the Waikato Region - 
neither of which I would personally mention in a Legacy location.  
Regardless of the date of the event being recorded, I would enter the 
location as Taupo, New Zealand.

Re: [LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy

[JLB]

I don't think U3 has any relevance to this use of a flash-drive, being a 
platform for various free and paid softwares.  I've bought several 
drives with U3 on them and just delete the whole sheebang and use the 
drive the way I want to.  If PortableApps are your thing, I'd recommend 
OpenSource PortableApps anyway.  I find U3 pretty junky.  Anyway, you 
don't need it for Legacy.

It depends mostly on whether you have multimedia that you also want on 
the flash drive ( personally I would leave photos etc on the desktop). 
If the only use is for Legacy, you probably can't buy a drive that is 
too small nowadays. A quick check of one online supplier shows over a 
hundred drives over 1 GB and only 10 that are either 256 MB or 512 MB.


Since you can get 2 GB for under $10, 4 GB from $14 to 20, and 8 GB 
from $22 to 35, there is really no reason to skimp.


Another question to ask is whether to get a U3 drive or not. Someone 
else will have to explain the pros and cons to that decision.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

[Linda McCauley]

Ruth
Your problem with Event Defination "private" button not sticking might
be a misunderstanding on your part.  I have a particular event marked
private through the Master Event List but on each individual event the
Private button is not checked.  The event is correctly omitted from
reports.  I believe the Private button on the individual event is for
situations where you don't want every instance of an event private (so
you don't want to mark it through the Event Master List) but you want
the event private for a particular person(s)

Or to put it another way, the private button on the master event and
the one on the individual event are two separate fields.  One covers
every occurence of the event and the other covers only an individual
occurence of the event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

[Ruth Nerud]

Ron, you already know my problems with the Descendent Book Report so I won't 
go into that. These are my newest problems.


Marriage Information screen
Clicked on Wording Option
I don't know the spouse's name so I deleted the word someone
He remarried, don't know that spouse's name so I deleted the word someone
Should read: Luigi married and Luigi next married
It reads Luigi married someone and Luigi next married (name unknown), a 
change I made a couple days ago. Must be a .usr file I need to delete, but 
which one?
(The only way I can do a accurate Descendent Report is in .pdf and since I 
can't edit a .pdf I can't manually change the wording, thereby making the 
.pdf not usable.)


In Name List Screen
Highlighted one of my ancestors
Clicked Edit tab
Clicked the AKA and deleted it.
Entire Name List went blank.

I added a new source:
View
Master Lists
Event Definition
Add
In the Enter an Event Name, etc. I typed Birth Doc. No. and checked the 
Private box
The check mark doesn't stay. Every time I enter a Birth Doc. No. I have to 
manually check the Private box.


I still don't feel I have the knowledge to do the Gedcom's of my files, 
delete Ver. 7 and download Ver. 6 and know that all my data will download 
into Ver. 6 correctly and fully. What to do? I'm an unhappy camper.

Ruth,

I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like yourself I am 
aware of a number of bugs which still need to be resolved (and let's not 
forget the pressure which some members of this group applied to get V7 out). 
However, these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and update 
my web pages.


I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not done a 
bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the Source 
Writer and do not change this but I have only introduced the new formats for 
new entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs, Certificates, 
E-mails, Parish Registers and Personal. Whilst I have needed to fill in some 
of the boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I have not 
had problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my existing 
sources to the new formats.


Which marriage screen have you been unable to change the overwrite wording 
in (and have we ever been able to)? It is not something I have found, but 
then I haven't wanted to either.


What check boxes are not sticking? - some weren't initially but I have not 
recently noticed this problem, so I took it that it had been resolved. The 
Help Index seems to me to be exactly the same as it was, apart from the 
addition of the new entries, and to date I have not had a problem with it.


Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I have to 
work out how to do things properly and others because of a minor bug but I 
have consistanly managed to find a way of working round them.

I have been such an advocate for Legacy in the past, but find its problems
with Ver. 7 and no knowledge of when they will be fixed makes me wonder -
has Legacy gotten so far ahead of itself that it's lost sight of what its
use is? If I can't produce a report that prints properly, if I can't check 
a

box and the check sticks, if I can't change the wording overwrite in the
marriage screen and have what I want said print in a document, all it's 
good

for is - me - to collect information. As it stands now I can't share
information with anyone. What good does the Geo location do me when I 
can't

produce a report. Source writer - my sources are fine - I didn't need
anything better. The Help index is so hard to use. I can't find the topic
I'm looking for Help with because the titles are beyond understanding. 
What
has happened to Legacy? It's become a huge disappointment for me. Can we 
get

back to the basic Legacy program and correct its bugs, please?

Legacy needs to be up front about the problems by letting us ALL know

I appreciate your calm and logical approach for dealing with a new

Your words proceeding with caution and in small increments are very
wise. If I remember correctly it took time, studying user manual,
viewing CD tutorials, and practice, practice, practice when I
switched from Vs, 5 to Vs. 6.  Do we call that due diligence in

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

I agree with you Kate. That is not asking too much.

A number of software programs maintain a website where known bugs are listed 
and the dates they are rresolved.  Does anyone know if Legacy does anything 
like that?


Someone else suggested going back to version 6, but in moving to version 7 
the database was modified and I am not sure it is possible to now go back to

Kate,

All that due diligence doesn't help when the problems are caused by
bugs in the program, advertised features that aren't working, etc.
Legacy needs to be up front about the problems by letting us ALL know
when a bug has been discovered and letting us ALL know when it has
been fixed. We shouldn't be forced into a trial and error situation.

Ron,

I appreciate your calm and logical approach for dealing with a new
program.
Your words proceeding with caution and in small increments are very
wise. If I remember correctly it took time, studying user manual,
viewing CD tutorials, and practice, practice, practice when I
switched from Vs, 5 to Vs. 6.  Do we call that due diligence in
genealogy? Good results in your gathering of data.

Cheers!

Re: [LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy

[Gary Templeman]

It depends mostly on whether you have multimedia that you also want on the 
flash drive ( personally I would leave photos etc on the desktop). If the 
only use is for Legacy, you probably can't buy a drive that is too small 
nowadays. A quick check of one online supplier shows over a hundred drives 
over 1 GB and only 10 that are either 256 MB or 512 MB.


Since you can get 2 GB for under $10, 4 GB from $14 to 20, and 8 GB from $22 
to 35, there is really no reason to skimp.


Another question to ask is whether to get a U3 drive or not. Someone else 
will have to explain the pros and cons to that decision.

Re: [LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy

[Robert Carneal]

The good news is you can put your family information on flash drives. 
The best way I know to determine the size you need is to put look at 
the size on your hard drive, and get a flash drive bigger than that. 
Also, the good news is you can take your information from one 
computer to another computer that has Legacy, but be careful. If you 
have the latest version, and the library you are going to happens to 
have Legacy 4 for example, the date formats will be so different that 
Legacy 4 won't be able to open your family file.


The bad news is you just cannot put Legacy itself on a flash drive. 
It needs to be installed on the hard drive.

like having another C drive.  It is the best thing I have ever done for my

three places.   :-D  I have 16,000 people in my database!

Re: [LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy

[JLB]

I believe the easiest thing would be to copy your entire Legacy 
installation to the flash-drive.  After you install it on both 
computers.  You can't install Legacy on a flash-drive but you can run 
the files from it.  You may have pictures linked there or source 
documents.  I don't know where you keep those.   If you go down to its 
location: in Windows that might be under C:\Legacy depending where you 
installed it, then right click, click Properties and it will tell you 
how big it is.  Mine is about 500 MB but I don't keep many pictures there.

[LegacyUG] Problem launching V6

[Gene Wheeler]

I'm using V6 and when I start it up this evening, instead of seeing 
the splash screen and then opening in the Family View with the last 
used family (as I specified in Customize), it opens the splash screen 
then opens up the "Set Report Fonts" window.  When I close this 
window, I get a "Legacy Warning Message" saying Legacy can't find any 
printer defined for use with Windows..., etc."  When I then click 
"OK", Legacy opens as it should.  This problem occurred 
spontaneously, after I had used Legacy three times earlier in the day 
without this problem surfacing.  Now it occurs each time.


In addition, I've also noted that a change to font selections in the 
Customize page, after saving, do not "stick".  I changed the font 
from Times Roman to Arial for both the Data and Notes, Save then 
close Customize, and the fonts are correct.  The next time I start up 
Legacy, they are both back to Times Roman.  I wonder if these two 
issues may be connected?


I have run all the file maintenance routines, but no joy.  Any ideas 
or suggestions?


Thanks, Gene
Gene

[LegacyUG] flash drive for Legacy

[Syble Glasscock]

I just bought a laptop and am considering installing Legacy on a flash drive to 
use with the Laptop and then plug in to my desktop computer.  I have 3 separate 
family files with a total of about 9,000 individuals, any suggestions as to 
what size flash drive I'd need to operate Legacy on?   Are 
I hope this is not "off topic".

Re: [LegacyUG] Input of Cemetery Names

[Syble Glasscock]

I'm glad to hear that others are concerned about the cemetery names, lot 
numbers, and all information that is on the tombstones.  I ignore the Legacy 
standards for this, when known, I include the cemetery name, lot/block number/, 
name of town, county, state, country.  Being able to include the GPS  in the 
location field will be great also.  The more information recorded, the easier 
it is for the next researcher.  We've also had problems with vandals in some of 
our local cemeteries, and good documentation can certainly help in verifying 
the original stone information.

That works too.  Only problem then is what if you want to do a
Cemetery report, showing all known cemetery locations.  I keep photos
(with LOT # and GPS info etc, in the Adobe Photoshop metadata), and my
monument photos are all in one folder called Tombstones, so I can see
all the monuments easily, but they are not in order by name or RIN #.
I wish that Legacy would simply add the fields we need, allow the
addition of these fields to the Individuals Record screen, and then
make a nice neat report to go with them.  I agree GPS is not that
accurate but it helps get you in the area of the lots.

RE: [LegacyUG] TMG

Michele:

Given the current problems with v7, I doubt that you'd be doing your cousin
any favors by pressing for a switch to Legacy right now.  As Bruce (I think)
said, the biggest advantage to TMG is that it works.  Legacy6 was great;
Legacy7 is broken.

I went from FTM maker to Legacy and don't regret it for one minute (I

get her to switch to Legacy but I didn't know enough about TMG to know WHY
Legacy is so much better :)

Ruth:

I'm with you and JL.  For almost three months I've been unable to produce a
usable GEDCOM or a decent sourced RTF report.  Most of that time I was in
the "Keep The Faith" camp; now I'm moving to the "Very Disgruntled Customer"
group.  But what are the options?

I've learned two valuable lessons here:  No more touting of Legacy for me,
and no more upgrading until a new release has been out for a very long time.

I have been such an advocate for Legacy in the past, but find its problems
with Ver. 7 and no knowledge of when they will be fixed makes me wonder -
has Legacy gotten so far ahead of itself that it's lost sight of what its
use is? If I can't produce a report that prints properly, if I can't check a
box and the check sticks, if I can't change the wording overwrite in the
marriage screen and have what I want said print in a document, all it's good
for is - me - to collect information. As it stands now I can't share
information with anyone. What good does the Geo location do me when I can't
produce a report. Source writer - my sources are fine - I didn't need
anything better. The Help index is so hard to use. I can't find the topic
I'm looking for Help with because the titles are beyond understanding. What
has happened to Legacy? It's become a huge disappointment for me. Can we get
back to the basic Legacy program and correct its bugs, please?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

[Thomas Herson]

Kate,

All that due diligence doesn't help when the problems are caused by bugs in 
the program, advertised features that aren't working, etc. Legacy needs to 
be up front about the problems by letting us ALL know when a bug has been 
discovered and letting us ALL know when it has been fixed. We shouldn't be 
forced into a trial and error situation.

Ron,

I appreciate your calm and logical approach for dealing with a new 
program.

Your words proceeding with caution and in small increments are very wise.
If I remember correctly it took time, studying user manual, viewing CD
tutorials, and practice, practice, practice when I switched from Vs, 5 to
Vs. 6.  Do we call that due diligence in genealogy?

Good results in your gathering of data.

I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like yourself I am

out).

However, these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and update

I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not done 
a

bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the Source

new entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs, Certificates,

of the boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I have 
not

had problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my existing
sources to the new formats.


Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I have to
work out how to do things properly and others because of a minor bug but I
have consistanly managed to find a way of working round them.

We shouldn't have to work around Legacy problems, Ron. We all know by now 
that you have no interest in following the instructions and are quick to 
respond, sometimes incorrectly, to almost every problem cite, always acting

Which marriage screen have you been unable to change the overwrite wording 
in (and have we ever been able to)? It is not something I have found, but 
then I haven't wanted to either.


What check boxes are not sticking? - some weren't initially but I have not

Help Index seems to me to be exactly the same as it was, apart from the 
addition of the new entries, and to date I have not had a problem with it.

[LegacyUG] Entering New Zealand Locations

[origins]

As a new user of Legacy I am interested to see how New Zealand users enter 
locations such as -


Wellington

Wanganui

Marton

Raetihi

Taupo

Te Kuiti

Levin
- enough for now.

Is there a useful atlas, gazeteer, etc that can be used?

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

[ronald ferguson]

Ruth,

I know that you are a long time supporter of Legacy and like yourself I am 
aware of a number of bugs which still need to be resolved (and let's not forget 
the pressure which some members of this group applied to get V7 out). However, 
these have not prevented me from continuing to publish and update my web pages.

I have been careful only to move on a step-by-step basis. I have not done a 
bulk change of sources for example. I have the option set for the Source Writer 
and do not change this but I have only introduced the new formats for new 
entries. So far this has covered, all UK censuses, BMDs, Certificates, E-mails, 
Parish Registers and Personal. Whilst I have needed to fill in some of the 
boxes somewhat differently from the way they were intended I have not had 
problems. As time goes on I will slowly be transferring my existing sources to 
the new formats.

Which marriage screen have you been unable to change the overwrite wording in 
(and have we ever been able to)? It is not something I have found, but then I 
haven't wanted to either.

What check boxes are not sticking? - some weren't initially but I have not 
recently noticed this problem, so I took it that it had been resolved. The Help 
Index seems to me to be exactly the same as it was, apart from the addition of 
the new entries, and to date I have not had a problem with it.

Yes, I still hit problems, sometimes because it's just new and I have to work 
out how to do things properly and others because of a minor bug but I have 
consistanly managed to find a way of working round them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy bugs

[JLB]

It's hard to know what's going on over there (in the backroom at Legacy) 
as they've been so quiet since the confusion surrounding the release of 
v.7.  I suppose you've contemplated the possibility of going back to 
v.6?  I have.  It seemed a simpler, happier and saner place.  v.7 seems 
to me like a giant make-work project - change all your sources, change 
all your locations so you can stick pins on maps. I've enjoyed using the 
new Search options although I've found bugs in that too - nothing I 
can't ignore. It's possible to turn off the changes in Locations and 
Sources so it pretty much looks like v.6.  Sort of.  I'm not trying to 
print out any reports with the attention to detail that I've heard 
people remarking about so I can't comment on that.  Am personally having 
smaller problems, like the vertical divider in the Name List sliding 
around, not liking the look of the new Source Detail window or the way 
the bottom of the Assigned Sources window has been split up, with the 
File ID number not showing anymore without having to tick a button 
*/every single time/*, that sort of thing.  There's a discomfort level I 
haven't settled into yet.  I'm trying to ignore it all and carry on as 
if v.7 never happened.  What /are/ they doing over there?

Re: [LegacyUG] TMG

[Wynthner]

There is also the use of witnesses. 
The witnesses in TMG do not transfer to GEDCOM and if the cousin has used them 
to a great extent it would be a major work to re-do them somehow in Legacy.

I do like one report Legacy does better than the same TMG report...
The Kinship /Relatives Report in Alpha order rather than kinship order.
The only thing I don't like is that Legace limits to 999 people. {sigh}

Try this link. It should be in plain text (I tried to make it

It shows a comparison between Legacy 7 and other programs.

Re: [LegacyUG] TMG

[JLB]

I having been trying for eons to get a cousin to switch to Legacy so we 
can use IntelliShare.  After many many years using FTM she's finally 
fed-up enough with the last version to make the change.  Now, since 
we're at V.7 I have to backtrack with my enthusiasm and give excuses and 
warnings instead.  Another not-so-happy camper.

Hi Michele,

I went the other way.My first software in 1996 was FTM  followed 
by PAF

4 & PAF 5; in 2000 I switched to Legacy 4, followed by 5, 6, and 7 (all
deluxe editions); and, for 1 year, beginning September 2007, I tried TMG
running parallel with Legacy 6.  I consider myself computer literate 
and a

medium-advanced genealogist with 12 years experience in researching
ancestors.
With the release of Legacy vs. 7 deluxe, I uninstalled TMG vs. 7 and 
through

up my arms with great rejoicing.  It was a relief to commit to a program
whose user manual, and help center I could understand and use.  I 
also found
that for me Legacy focuses on the parts of family history that I 
wish  to
concentrate with enough extras to keep me happy.   There was not 
enough time

for me to use both software programs.  My database contains almost 2500
people.   My four direct lines are Smith and Smith (no relations, 
Stokes and

Riley;  the Master Source list and Citation list are huge; and images of
pictures and documents mid-size.

Most of all, I find the LUG list and the Legacy support for users and
accessible to users superior to TMG and all of the other kinds of 
software
that I use.  Now, I'm working on getting my database to reflect the 
skills

and caliber of what other users are illustrating on LUG.

If you have any specific questions, please contact me off list.

Good luck in making your decision.  It really is a personal choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] TMG

[Michele Lewis]

I went from FTM maker to Legacy and don't regret it for one minute (I 
switched about 4 years ago).  My cousin is using TMG and I want some ammo to 
get her to switch to Legacy but I didn't know enough about TMG to know WHY 
Legacy is so much better :)

RE: [LegacyUG] adding information from another person's gedcom to my family tree

[sandra chester]

Thanks for the replies.
I have always set up a new file to import the other person's gedcom to with a , 
but what I failed to do was to edit out their source material before merging 
the individuals I wanted to my master file. I always autosource it with the 
name of the person from whom I get the gedcom, which appears as an unspecified 
source in my sources list for every field but all the other persons sources get 
added to my list as well. Now I will know enough to make sure I remove all 
their sources before merging with my master file.

[LegacyUG] The IGI

[Michele Lewis]

I just noticed that when I add an IGI entry (through the search that is 
available through the Legacy program itself) it sources it using the OLD 
source template.  The IGI isn't being sourced by the new source writer. Why 
is that?

RE: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Jeremy Knowles]

Well, surely you would only tick the box if you knew they never had
children and weren't likely to (or, more to the point can't have)? Then,
my point is if one dies then it would revert to past tense since 'had
no' would then be grammatically correct.

I have no problem with the existing wording.  After all, what it's really
saying is "at the time this report was created, this couple had no
children" which is accurate, even if the couple are alive and there is a
strong possibility that they will have children in the future.

I never actually tick the "no children" box until such time as the couple
(or at least one of them) have died without issue

I have an 1851 Agricultural census for an individual in
Ontario county, Reach Township.

The SourceWriter doesn't have a CANADA, when I use
Every Other Country Except... it doesn't look right.

Canada was really England in 1851, it didn't become
independent from England until after WWI but using England
isn't correct either.

Any suggestions?

Sally

PS... I've checked archives & there are no messages
with this subject since the SourceWriter came out.

 Hello all,

 Does anyone know how to make the half siblings show in the "Family"
 view in Legacy 7?  In Legacy 6 half-siblings showed in the "Family"
 view if you checked the designated box in the children section.

 In Legacy 7, when you click on the red plus sign to show brothers and
 sisters, the box is there to show half-siblings, but they only show in
 the box you are viewing, not in the "Family" view.

 What am I not doing? Thanks for your time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Jeremy Knowles]

Paul, 

 

I'd disagree because there are no births to be in the past tense, the
couple are very much in the present and will never have children so
'have' seems better but I can see your point. Maybe an extra wording
option on the marriage screen would be the way to go, then it could be
done for some as required.

It is correct to say "had no children" even with the parents living.
The birth would be past tense and so is "had".  I think the Legacy

RE: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Cary]

I agree, all the events that make it to my Legacy file are in the past, even
the Announcement event for pregnancies where no one is born yet.  Maybe I'm
superstitious, but I don't enter babies until they are born.  So for me,
"had" is always correct.

 

I also don't feel a need to check "Had no children" unless it is final.  The
absence of children suffices to tell me for close family, and I cannot be
sure of knowing for more distant cousins.  Have none would be just as wrong
as had none is the condition changed.

It would be nicer if it said "Have no children" since it they are still with
us.

Similarly, in reports with the 'did not marry' ticked, the reports say that
the couple "did not marry", rather than "are not married".

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census

[HowlandDavisII]

Jennifer:
 
I wrote directly to Sally and maybe I should not  have.  Here is what I 
said:
Actually from 1841 until 1867, what is now Ontario was called Canada West  
(and Quebec was Canada East).  Prior to 1841, they were Upper Canada and  Lower 
Canada.  So you have something from Reach Township, Ontario  County, Canada 
West (now Ontario).  For your information, you might want to  keep this as a 
favorite: _http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/index.html_ 
(http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/index.html)It is an atlas for all of 
Canada.  Very 
helpful at finding places.  If  it says that it cannot find something, go to a 
partial spelling, of any  sort, to see what pops up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census

[Heeren]

Yes, Jennifer, that's it exactly.  I was hoping there was a nice neat way 
that I had overlooked.  I think a template for Canada would be great... 
after all, in the 1800's people went back & forth across the border like it 
was all one country. 


Thank you for your response,
Sally
*
I had some problems too with the population schedule for the 1851 Census. I 
used the template for Census records > All countries except those below... 
> Online, database and images. I had no problem with the master source 
template. But the detail source template does not give a field for the 
township name, enumeration district, or subdistrict. I just did an override 
to fix the problem. For the 1901 Census, I just created a master source 
using the basic source tool. Also, I don't like that the field for county 
is on the detail template and not on the master template. I prefer to have 
master sources for census records broken up by county. Maybe that's just a 
personal preference, though. Anyhow, I think a template for Canada needs to 
be made.

I have an 1851 Agricultural census for an individual in
Ontario county, Reach Township.

The SourceWriter doesn't have a CANADA, when I use
Every Other Country Except... it doesn't look right.

Canada was really England in 1851, it didn't become
independent from England until after WWI but using England
isn't correct either.

Any suggestions?

Sally

PS... I've checked archives & there are no messages
with this subject since the SourceWriter came out.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census

[Heeren]

Thank you, Kathy, I know I can use the old format & input it, that's what 
I've done in the past. 


Now, I'd like to use the SourceWriter for all my new sources but the 
Canadian Agricultural Census seems to be an ungainly fit for it.


Sally
**

I'm not sure what doesn't look right.  I just put things into the fields
provided and arrange them until what comes out looks ok to me.

First was done in version 6 and the 2nd was done using the Sourcewriter.


Old format

[Census - Canada - Ontario - 1851  - Wellington County]
Puslinch Township, Wellington South, Enumeration District 1, page 76 [number
39 also appears]; Microfilm C-11756
John D. Porter Farmer, born Ireland, age 73
John D. Porter Farmer, born Ireland age 32
Robert Porter, Farmer, born Ireland age 30
Ann J. Porter, born Ireland, age 34

Sourcewriter used:
Footnote/Endnote Citation:
1851 Census of Grey County, Ontario, Collingwood Twp, District 11,
Subdistrict 86, p. 15; digital images, The Generations Network, Inc,
Ancestry.com. 1851 Census of Canada East, Canada West, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA (www.ancestry.ca);
Alexr Mitchell age 28, born Scotland
Mary Mitchell age 23, born Scotland
John G. Mitchell age 4 born Canada W
James Mitchell age 2 born Canada W

Subsequent Citation:
1851 Census of Grey County, Ontario, Collingwood Twp, District 11,

Bibliography:

www.ancestry.ca : 5 Aug 2008.

--- in my case the Sourcewriter is pulling up info from the Master source
for the 2nd example.  For the first - the Master Source actually is
Census - Canada - Ontario - 1851  - Wellington County and may show on
reports.  I'll be checking.  I haven't gone back to change citations at this
point.

Re: [LegacyUG] half siblings

[Dawn Crowley]

It is something that can be turned off and on, so perhaps it was an 
option set long ago in v 6.  I generally leave show 1/2 kids on because 
most of my families with 1/2 siblings were raised together.  That makes 
it easier for me to catch all of the children when searching census 
records, etc.  However, sometimes the children were adults when a new 
marriage made them 1/2 siblings.  Those I don't need to see in one 
family when doing research.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Sue Winter]

Seems to me this would create a lot of extra work, not only updating the
records when a person dies or a couple separates, but also keeping in touch
with them all so that you know their circumstances at all times. 
 
Easy enough for siblings and other close relatives but cousins several times
removed are not always easy to keep track of and may not keep you informed,
especially if they have no interest in family history

Re: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Paul Abell]

Jeremy,
It is correct to say "had no children" even with the parents living.  
The birth would be past tense and so is "had".  I think the Legacy 
programmers thought this through and correctly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Input of Cemetery Names

[Allison Nelson]

That works too.  Only problem then is what if you want to do a
Cemetery report, showing all known cemetery locations.  I keep photos
(with LOT # and GPS info etc, in the Adobe Photoshop metadata), and my
monument photos are all in one folder called Tombstones, so I can see
all the monuments easily, but they are not in order by name or RIN #.
I wish that Legacy would simply add the fields we need, allow the
addition of these fields to the Individuals Record screen, and then
make a nice neat report to go with them.  I agree GPS is not that
accurate but it helps get you in the area of the lots.

Re: [LegacyUG] Input of Cemetery Names

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I agree that the burial day is not particularly useful, and that I
want to see the burial place on the main screen.


The data shown on the main screen can be customized so that you can see 
anything else you prefer instead of the burial date. Just right click on any 
of the 5 shown fields.


I do not recall what the original default field shown was but in my Legacy 7 
Deluxe I now have "Burial Date/Place" showing, but it could be changed to 
"Burial Place", or "Burial Lat/Long" if one prefers. And one can enter 
whatever data one wishes in the order one prefers in the "Burial Place" 
field.  So if one enters:

Mountain View-Chapel Hill Cemetery, Howell County, Missouri, USA

that is what would appear on that field in the main screen.

Would that do what you would like?

and there isn't an extra field thrown in. If there is no town, it
would look like this:

, Howell County-Chapel Hill, Missouri, USA

The full particulars (location of cemetery, etc) would be in the
source for the data.

I am working in Legacy 6 still,  partly because they added stuff I

This should be a simple straight forward thing to enter!

I have asked Legacy a few times to put specific fields in place for
the Cemetery Name, and Location (in my books this is the village,
town or city that the cemetery is in).  Secondary information such
as the Lot numbers, GPS location, cemetery managements address
information, and Notes should all appear as standard entries, and
all of this should be sourced as usual.

At present I fake it...and use the Buried fields as follows:

Buried:  Evergreen Memorial Park   In: Moncton, New Brunswick, CANADA

An error message comes up saying I have the wrong type of information
in the Buried field.  (I entered a cemetery name instead of a
date...Legacy forbid!) and I simply ignore the error message and hit
cancel.  This way I can see on my individuals screen.  In my humble
opinion, no one really cares what day the deceased was physically put
in the ground... we do care where they were buried.

I do feel somewhat qualified to speak about the importance of our
cemeteries, where someone is buried, how to find the graves, and the
importance of a good old fashioned monument (preferably made out of
granite for longevity).  I have been worked in the monument industry
for 29 years and am currently writing public education manuals for
our provincial association.

I want to say congratulations to Richard & Evita for collecting this
type of information over the years!  It may be a nuisance now (when
entering in Legacy) but it could be invaluable to others who might be
viewing your research in years to come.  I am thinking of how many
graves there are out there unmarked or made of materials that have
deteriorated to the point where they are unreadable.  People who
record this information will make it possible to find these graves in
future years.  PS...do NOT rely on cemetery or funeral homes or the
public archives to supply this information in the future many of
these records are gone already!

Fellow Legacy Users,
On the Input of Cemetery Names
That's the beauty of Legacy over other programs. You are not
entirely restricted in using the format. You are given several
options on how to arrange your data to your tastes. Put the address
where you want, use 9 fields, 3, or 6.5 Whatever! Country, state,
county, township, town, building, suite

I put the Cemetery in this order:
Town in Town Cemetery, Smith County, Texas, USA
Township in Township Cemetery, Smith County, Kansas, USA
Smith County in Rural Cemetery, Ohio, USA
I try my best to be consistent so other viewers are not confused.

I use the latitude longitude in both the location list and Burial
address. The burial's website link is a google map link. This
prints out with the burial address in reports, and also when I
submit to Rootsweb so all can see the Cemetery Location. There may
be limitations, but it works and I deal with it.

It may be a little US Centric. That's because it was created in the
US. But I not seen any other program where I am able top converse
with wonderful people from all over the world. I have had the
pleasure of meeting great people from Australia, Sweden, England,
Ireland, Mexico, Norway, and many other beautiful places.

Legacy allows you to tailor the program like no oth

Re: [LegacyUG] Tense suggestion for people alive

[Dermot McGlone]

Jeremy,

I'm just back to this list after two months away, so I may be
repeating something already stated elsewhere, but, speaking
personally, I would NEVER tick the "This couple had no children" for a
couple where both are still alive.  OK, maybe if they're both in their
90s, then it's probably safe enough, but you never know(!)  I only
ever use it where the couple had no known issue, and as they are
already dead, not likely to have any.

I agree with you regarding the "not married" wording, though.  I
wonder how easy/difficult it would be to program?

Just my EUR0.02 worth.

Regards,

Dermot.

  Can I make a suggestion? It would be nice if the present tense could be used 
for people who are still alive. For a couple with no children and the 'This 
couple had no children' ticked, it says in the children box "** Had No Children 
**", and similarly on reports. 

  It would be nicer if it said "Have no children" since it they are still with 
us.


  Similarly, in reports with the 'did not marry' ticked, the reports say that 
the couple "did not marry", rather than "are not married".

[LegacyUG] half siblings

[Karen Thornhill]

Hello all,

Does anyone know how to make the half siblings show in the "Family"
view in Legacy 7?  In Legacy 6 half-siblings showed in the "Family"
view if you checked the designated box in the children section.

In Legacy 7, when you click on the red plus sign to show brothers and
sisters, the box is there to show half-siblings, but they only show in
the box you are viewing, not in the "Family" view.

What am I not doing? Thanks for your time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census

[Kathy Wallace]

I’m not sure what doesn’t look right.  I just put things into the fields
provided and arrange them until what comes out looks ok to me.

First was done in version 6 and the 2nd was done using the Sourcewriter.


Old format

[Census - Canada - Ontario - 1851  - Wellington County]
Puslinch Township, Wellington South, Enumeration District 1, page 76 [number
39 also appears]; Microfilm C-11756
John D. Porter Farmer, born Ireland, age 73
John D. Porter Farmer, born Ireland age 32
Robert Porter, Farmer, born Ireland age 30
Ann J. Porter, born Ireland, age 34

Sourcewriter used:
Footnote/Endnote Citation:
1851 Census of Grey County, Ontario, Collingwood Twp, District 11,
Subdistrict 86, p. 15; digital images, The Generations Network, Inc,
Ancestry.com. 1851 Census of Canada East, Canada West, New Brunswick, and
Nova Scotia [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA (www.ancestry.ca); 
Alexr Mitchell age 28, born Scotland
Mary Mitchell age 23, born Scotland
John G. Mitchell age 4 born Canada W
James Mitchell age 2 born Canada W

Subsequent Citation:
1851 Census of Grey County, Ontario, Collingwood Twp, District 11,
Subdistrict 86, p. 15. 

Bibliography:
Grey County. Ontario. 1851 Census of Grey County. Digital images. The
Generations Network, Inc. Ancestry.com. 1851 Census of Canada East, Canada
West, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA.
www.ancestry.ca : 5 Aug 2008.

--- in my case the Sourcewriter is pulling up info from the Master source
for the 2nd example.  For the first - the Master Source actually is 
Census - Canada - Ontario - 1851  - Wellington County and may show on
reports.  I'll be checking.  I haven't gone back to change citations at this
point.

Kathy

Nope! We all got it wrong - even me but I was closest!

Experimentation shows that by adding an Address to the Event, the plus 
sign appears. Then, unlinking the Address from the Event causes the + to 
disappear.

RE: [LegacyUG] Timelines for Legacy

[ronald ferguson]

Sheri,

I think you are referring to Legacy's invitation for users to submit their own 
Timelines for consideration for inclusion in the Legacy set. As far as I know 
this invitation still stands, and I know the Legacy download does include them.

It is easy to do your own, and as you suggested, the time is taken up on the 
research.

Best wishes,


Ron Ferguson
