My questions was not answered.  Can we or can we not append sources?

When I am working on a specific person and I go into his/her source list and 
I highlight a source I want to copy, I could swear that version 6 would ask 
you do you want to overwrite or append.  Now when I do that I only get the 
option to overwrite (version 7).


Someone did answer my question but they misunderstood what I was asking.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

That is what I am doing now but I didn't have to do it in version 6.  Now I 
highlight a source and copy it.  I open up the other person and copy it that 
person.  Then I have to go back to the other person and highlight another 
source and then go to the 2nd person and copy it.


To clarify... this is if I have TWO sources for one event!  I want to copy 
BOTH sources at the same time so that I can paste both sources to another 
person at one time.

They actually did answer your question. In V6 the source clipboard had 5
tabs for 5 citations. Because of this, when you copied to the source
clipboard you had to tell Legacy whether or not you wanted to overwrite
all tabs with the copied citation, or append it (add the citation to an
empty tab). Apparently the developers concluded that having 5 tabs in
the clipboard was too confusing for us users and decided to scale it
back to a single tab (or so I have been told since I do not use V7).
Since there is only a single tab, the choice to overwrite/append is
meaningless.

[[This is one of the reasons I did not upgrade since I use the extra
tabs all the time when rearranging citations and I considered this a
step backwards. I think the users would have been better served if the
developers would have just made the extra tabs optional ... maybe even
turned them off by default to avoid newbie confusion ... letting users
who know how to use them turn them back on.]]

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?


Append means add to.

For example... I highlight a source I want to copy so that I can use if for 
the next person.  Then I highlight another source and I want to ADD it to 
what I am going to copy.  Then when I go to the person I am going to copy 
to, BOTH sources will be copied to the person.

[LegacyUG] V7 Census templates--where to find NARA roll numbers and other questions

2008-09-05 Thread Melanie Tucker

I finally decided to try the SourceWriter for U.S. census images.  I located
an image of the 1850 census on the new FamilySearch record search pilot
site.  However, I am at a loss to know how to find the NARA roll number.  I
check the FHL catalog using the film number given, but it is not listed.

All the different sites use a different numbering system for the census.  Is
it best just to look for the stamped numbers and type, for example 104(a)
and then something like 725 (handwritten).

Also, a few suggestions for the Legacy folks, I noticed that it's impossible
to see the entire light gray examples in the fields in the sourcewriter
because the minute you click in the box to try to scroll over, it
disappears.  Also, since there are becoming increasingly more website that
offer images of the census, it seems to me that it would be a better idea to
enter the website on the details page instead of the source page so that you
don't have to have 3 or 4 separate souces for the same county.

TIA for your suggestions,

Thanks,
Melanie Tucker

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

No, not the tab things.  I am having a hard time explaining this.  Ok

Let's say I pull up a person and I am looking at their list of sources.  I can 
highlight a source and hit that copy button on the left hand side at the bottom 
and a box will come up that says, Copy the highlighted source citation to the 
source clipboard? (This will also copy the source detail entry).

I click yes and then I can paste it to other people.

HOWEVER, in version 6 when you clicked on that copy button it would pop up a 
box asking you if you ewant to OVERWRITE OR APPEND.  If you hit append then it 
would ADD this source to whatever you already had on the source clipboard.  
Then when you went to the person you want to paste to then BOTH sources would 
paste at the same time.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

2008-09-05 Thread Dermot McGlone

Michele,

I think I understand what you are talking about, but I still think it
does refer to the tabs on the old V6 source clipboard.  In V6, if you
selected to copy a source to the clipboard, you were asked if you
wanted append (i.e., add that source to the sources already on the
clipboard) or if you wanted to overwrite (i.e., remove those sources
already on the clipboard from that clipboard and just have the copied
one on the clipboard).

Then when you went to paste from the source clipboard onto person 2,
you pasted whatever was on the clipboard, i.e., if you selected append
at the copy stage, you then added the 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) sources to
person 2, but if you had selected overwrite at the copy stage, there
was only one source on the clipboard, as you had overwritten the
previous ones, so only one source was added to person 2.

Is this what you mean?  If so, then it is because the source clipboard
has changed from v6 to v7.

There is an option on the source clipboard to load and save up to 10
clipboards, each named with whatever you wish.  This would enable you
to copy the first source to the clipboard, save it, then go back, copy
the second source to the clipboard, and save that in position 2.
Continue to do this until you have all sources you wish to assign to
person 2 saved. Then load each one to the clipboard individually and
assign to person 2, as you wish.

It probably involves a few extra keystrokes, but not actually that
many, and saves you from accidentally assigning more than one source
to a person in error, because you've forgotten about tab 2, tab 3, etc
on V6.

If I have misunderstood your problem, I apologise for my stupidity,
and please ignore this post.

Regards,

Dermot.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

2008-09-05 Thread Jessica Morgan

I believe (and could be wrong) that she is referring to the Source
Clipboard, and in V6 you could have, I believe, up to five sources, depicted
by five different tabs.

The source clipboard in V7 appears to be a singular source at a time, with
no multiple clipboard option.

I've wondered this same thing lately. I never quite got the hang of the
source clipboard in V6, but V7 is pretty simple and easy.

Michele~

We can no longer "append" sources in Version 7.  Version 6 had the fantastic 
capability of allowing us to have multiple sources available on a "tabbed" 
clipboard and "append" or overwrite on the tabs.  Version 7 does not offer 
us that option.


Still a great program.

Judy





My questions was not answered.  Can we or can we not append sources?

When I am working on a specific person and I go into his/her source list 
and I highlight a source I want to copy, I could swear that version 6 
would ask you do you want to overwrite or append.  Now when I do that I 
only get the option to overwrite (version 7).

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

But, I can save up to ten saved sources and pick from those. I pick 
from a drop down list, not tabs. Would that serve your needs? I will 
send you some screen shots off list if you want.

They actually did answer your question. In V6 the source clipboard had 5
tabs for 5 citations. Because of this, when you copied to the source

all tabs with the copied citation, or append it (add the citation to an

Since there is only a single tab, the choice to overwrite/append is
meaningless.

Michele,

I am well aware of the meaning of "append" but was uncertain as to what you 
meant, as it is not a word I would use in your context. In a previous email you 
amplified this and whilst it was previously possible to add sources using up to 
5 tabs that is no longer the case.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

I wish I could include a graphic. If, she is referring to the five 
sources available shown by five different tabs, we seem to have more 
now, albeit pretty well hidden. Michele, please try this and see if 
it answers your query:

1. Open Legacy
2. Select someone, to go to that person's Individual Information window.
3. Click the books icon, the icon for sources. (Ta da, it opens the 
Source Clipboard!)
4. Please look at the bottom right area of this window where it says 
Save A Clipboard. You can save TEN Clipboards! That is double the 
five we had in Legacy 6. Is this what you are asking about?

The source clipboard in V7 appears to be a singular source at a 
time, with no multiple clipboard option.

I've wondered this same thing lately. I never quite got the hang of 
the source clipboard in V6, but V7 is pretty simple and easy.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] appending?



Michele,

I think I understand what you are talking about, but I still think it
does refer to the tabs on the old V6 source clipboard.  In V6, if you
selected to copy a source to the clipboard, you were asked if you
wanted append (i.e., add that source to the sources already on the
clipboard) or if you wanted to overwrite (i.e., remove those sources
already on the clipboard from that clipboard and just have the copied
one on the clipboard).

Then when you went to paste from the source clipboard onto person 2,
you pasted whatever was on the clipboard, i.e., if you selected append
at the copy stage, you then added the 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) sources to
person 2, but if you had selected overwrite at the copy stage, there
was only one source on the clipboard, as you had overwritten the
previous ones, so only one source was added to person 2.

Is this what you mean?  If so, then it is because the source clipboard
has changed from v6 to v7.

There is an option on the source clipboard to load and save up to 10
clipboards, each named with whatever you wish.  This would enable you
to copy the first source to the clipboard, save it, then go back, copy
the second source to the clipboard, and save that in position 2.
Continue to do this until you have all sources you wish to assign to
person 2 saved. Then load each one to the clipboard individually and
assign to person 2, as you wish.

It probably involves a few extra keystrokes, but not actually that
many, and saves you from accidentally assigning more than one source
to a person in error, because you've forgotten about tab 2, tab 3, etc
on V6.

If I have misunderstood your problem, I apologise for my stupidity,
and please ignore this post.

Regards,

Dermot.

2008/9/5 Michele Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

No, not the tab things.  I am having a hard time explaining this.  Ok

Let's say I pull up a person and I am looking at their list of sources.

can highlight a source and hit that copy button on the left hand side at 
the

bottom and a box will come up that says, Copy the highlighted source
citation to the source clipboard? (This will also copy the source detail
entry).

I click yes and then I can paste it to other people.

HOWEVER, in version 6 when you clicked on that copy button it would pop 
up a
box asking you if you ewant to OVERWRITE OR APPEND.  If you hit append 
then

it would ADD this source to whatever you already had on the source
clipboard.  Then when you went to the person you want to paste to then 
BOTH

sources would paste at the same time.

 From the help file:

   -
"Quick Copy Existing Citations to the Source Clipboard

"You can copy one or more (up to five) source citations you have showing for
the current individual 
onto the Source Clipboard by clicking  in the lower-left corner of the
screen.  When you do, Legacy 
asks you if you want to either Copy/Overwrite Existing entries or Append to
Existing. 
Copy/Overwrite Existing clears any sources that are on the Source Clipboard
and then copies the 
highlighted source to the Source 1 tab of the Clipboard.  Choosing Append to
Existing places the 
current source on the next available tab of the Source Clipboard.  (When all
five tabs of the 
Clipboard are filled, the Append to Existing option is not offered.)"
 ---


Since there are not five tabs any longer in V7, the Append does not exist
any longer.  This is a 
shame because it was very handy to enter up to five sources for a husband
then "copy/append" them to 
the source clipboard then assign them to the wife in one, time saving,
operation.  The help file 
still indicates you can do this but you can't.

Hopefully, Millenia will restore the five tabs but if not, correct the help
file notation. 
Unfortunately, as often happens to any software developer, they removed a
function they thought 
useless and broke a very useful tool.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

2008-09-05 Thread Elizabeth Richardson

Robert (and others) - opening the source window, the one from the books 
icon, is NOT the source clipboard. It is the Assigned Sources list. The 
source clipboard that you reference is, in fact, THE source clipboard. Yes, 
it has 10 places and is the same as in V6. This is a wonderful feature. 
Michele, I do not believe you can copy 2 sources at the same time. However, 
when you copy an event to the Event Clipboard, it will copy not only the 
event but the source attached to it. Then when you paste this event you can 
easily attach another source via the source clipboard. If you're only 
wanting to use 2 previously used sources, you can copy them both to the 
source clipboard. It takes only a couple of clicks to access each of them 
and it is quite simple to insert different source details if necessary.

Are you maybe getting confused between the Source clipboard (had 5 tabs 
now has 1 therefore 1 source copied) and the Event clipboard. One Event 
plus multiple sources. Copy the event and the sources go with.

source clipboard. Then when you went to the person you want to paste to
then BOTH sources would paste at the same time.

michele

From the help file:

-
"Quick Copy Existing Citations to the Source Clipboard

"You can copy one or more (up to five) source citations you have showing for the current individual
onto the Source Clipboard by clicking in the lower-left corner of the screen. When you do, Legacy
asks you if you want to either Copy/Overwrite Existing entries or Append to Existing.
Copy/Overwrite Existing clears any sources that are on the Source Clipboard and then copies the
highlighted source to the Source 1 tab of the Clipboard. Choosing Append to Existing places the
current source on the next available tab of the Source Clipboard. (When all five tabs of the
Clipboard are filled, the Append to Existing option is not offered.)"

---

Since there are not five tabs any longer in V7, the Append does not exist any longer. This is a
shame because it was very handy to enter up to five sources for a husband then "copy/append" them to
the source clipboard then assign them to the wife in one, time saving, operation. The help file
still indicates you can do this but you can't.

Hopefully, Millenia will restore the five tabs but if not, correct the help file notation.
Unfortunately, as often happens to any software developer, they removed a function they thought
useless and broke a very useful tool.

[LegacyUG] re: appending ?

2008-09-05 Thread J B Coats

Below is my exchange concerning the use of the source clipboardv7 vs. 
v6.


Another point concerning the 'extra key strokes' of adding one source at a 
time from the possible 10 that can be added is 3 per source.  If you had 4 
sources you would have 12 strokes for each individual that needed these 
same sources.


Whereas from the v6 you would load up to 5 and add them all at once.

I believe that using the option 'ALT 3 routine would cause more problems. 
Currently it would add ALL the sources in your clipboard for EVERY data 
field that was not blank.


I believe that the better solution would be to change the function of the 
'ALT 3' routine would be to add ALL the sources in your clipboard to ONLY 
the ONE field that you desired to source.


This would provide the best of this source routine actions from both v7 & 
v6.

SuggestionReport: 0
Category:Legacy 7.0 Features
Subject:Adding multi Sources to single individule b. d. m. etc
Suggestion:The following is an LUG exchange concerning the loss to using 
the

multi source feature in V6 deluxe.

I agree that the V6 ability to add multi sources to a single item [like
birth] was very good.

Example, you have located a family on multi census records and want to 
use
one clipboard click to add all the different sources to a single item 
[like

birth]

It's loss is already missed.
-

With the change in V7, now you have to quick load each source to the
clipboard and then click again to add it to a single item [like birth]

The other new button [or ALT-3] added is to add a single source to 
'EVERY'
item that is other than blank [like name,birth,bap,death,burial]  which 
it

really ..OVERKILL.

Why not allow this same button add all the up to 5 sources to a single
highlighted item [like birth]

So far I have not located how to
"ASSIGN MORE THAN ONE SOURCE AT A TIME"
There seems to be no way to accomplish this feature.

I have been using the Help file for Clipboard Sources  [5-1182]  which
apprarently STILL need corrections.

Any assistance/comments would be appreciated

Bring up the source detail is behaving as it always

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

Yes, I know what you are talking about and I do save multiple clipboards 
frequently but Legacy 6 had a bit of a short cut built in.  Instead of 
hitting the little blue arrow thingie to add more clipboards you could just 
highlight one in the list and hit the copy button (the little icon that 
looks like two pieces of paper) and it would ask you if you wanted to 
overwrite or append.  Now you only have the option to overwrite.

I wish I could include a graphic. If, she is referring to the five sources

query:

1. Open Legacy
2. Select someone, to go to that person's Individual Information window.
3. Click the books icon, the icon for sources. (Ta da, it opens the Source

4. Please look at the bottom right area of this window where it says Save 
A Clipboard. You can save TEN Clipboards! That is double the five we had

The source clipboard in V7 appears to be a singular source at a time, with 
no multiple clipboard option.

I've wondered this same thing lately. I never quite got the hang of the 
source clipboard in V6, but V7 is pretty simple and easy.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

Sorry, but since I could not understand 'appending' to a source, decided to 
watch who else answered. What do you mean? I have some sources, which are 
correspondences to me from family memebers, (Source name = Smith, John) that I 
include in the 'text of source' the transcripts of each letter, then put a 
carriage returns to separate each letter from his/her other letters, but that 
did not seem to be what you were asking. I also have many census sources such 
as 'USA, IL, Cook, Chicago, 1930', which appending onto the TEXT in Supervisors 
District/Enumerators District order.
I guess the actual question is can you give an example of a source you want to 
append?

"The Source Clipboard is a feature in Legacy that can tremendously increase the

Since I never used it, prefering to work with only one source at a time (Not

Re: [LegacyUG] creating custom reports

Doris, I have not seen an answer to you, so here goes. Click on the icon Name 
List, click Print. 
Note that the Options and up to three 'rows' of column heads are available for 
a spreadsheet type report. Using the Search tool will create a subset of this 
same grouping. The Search -tool gives you the choice to make Boolean style 
searches on whichever group you want. Use Detail Search. 
Example: Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Place
How to Look? = contains 
What to look for? = Illinois (using a 'big' place like Illinois will catch all 
from there.
Next: for the second part of the question
Use the 2nd condition to Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Date
How to Look? = Before
What to look for? = put the before date 1/1/1800
Finally 
Use the 3rd condition to Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Date
How to Look? = After
What to look for? = put the after date 1/1/1700.
Now, you should have all the people in your DB married  from 1700-1800 in your 
place.
Have fun, note the bottom of the screen, the choices to trim the current group 
into a second search.

You do not have to keep going back to the individual to add a new sources to 
the clipboard. You can save up to 10 sources on the clipboard  as you could 
in Version 6 .When you want to add saved source(s) to another individual all 
you need to do is right click on the "Open source clipboard" blue triangle 
in the new assigned sources window and a dropdown list displays all saved 
sources. One click and the source is added. I found the 5 tabs in version 6 
confusing and preferred this method more useful

Judy


That is what I am doing now but I didn't have to do it in version 6.  Now 
I highlight a source and copy it.  I open up the other person and copy it 
that person.  Then I have to go back to the other person and highlight 
another source and then go to the 2nd person and copy it.


To clarify... this is if I have TWO sources for one event!  I want to copy 
BOTH sources at the same time so that I can paste both sources to another 
person at one time.

Judy:

I believe you are using the wrong terminology. When you right click on
the "Open source clipboard" button you are actually seeing 10 source
clipboards. In V6, each of those 10 clipboards could have up to 5
citations. In V7 each of the 10 clipboards can have only 1 citation.

> I found the 5 tabs in version 6 confusing and preferred this method more

Each has its own (different) purpose. For those of us who understand
their use, they are quite useful. As I stated earlier, I believe the
developers made a mistake by completely removing this feature.

Re: [LegacyUG] appending?

2008-09-05 Thread JLB


Michele,

I woke up this morning to a thread called 'Appending' that went the 
whole length of my screen.  I didn't dare jump in for fear of being 
irrelevant.  Obviously, I missed the spirit of it.  Every few emails 
there you were again saying, is essence, EVERYBODY IS MISUNDERSTANDING 
ME.  That could certainly be the case.  8 or so hours later I see you 
still trying to explain yourself.  So, I can't resist an answer.  No, 
you're not losing your mind.  Yes, there used to be an option for 
'appending'.  I thought it was a nuisance to have to make yet another 
decision at that point because who would ever want to append to an 
existing source?  I guess that was the prevailing view and the Legacy 
programmers took it out. So, no, you didn't imagine it. But your mind 
may be more multi-functional than most as I don't hear anyone else 
asking for the reinstatement of this feature. Sorry, I don't know the 
cure.  I only work with one source document at a time.

You were not appending to an existing source. You were appending an
additional citation to the SOURCE CLIPBOARD! And I for one still use
this feature in V6. I use it all the time when I create one summary
event from several individual (atomic) events. I will copy the citations
from the individual events to the source clipboard (appending as I go),
then paste the entire source clipboard to the summary event in one
button click. I also use this feature when I need to move multiple
citations from one event to another.

Doris, I have not seen an answer to you, so here goes. Click on the icon
Name List, click Print. 
Note that the Options and up to three 'rows' of column heads are available
for a spreadsheet type report. Using the Search tool will create a subset of
this same grouping. The Search -tool gives you the choice to make Boolean
style searches on whichever group you want. Use Detail Search. 
Example: Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Place
How to Look? = contains 
What to look for? = Illinois (using a 'big' place like Illinois will catch
all from there.
Next: for the second part of the question
Use the 2nd condition to Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Date
How to Look? = Before
What to look for? = put the before date 1/1/1800
Finally 
Use the 3rd condition to Look for whom? = Marriage
Where to Look? = Marrige Date
How to Look? = After
What to look for? = put the after date 1/1/1700.
Now, you should have all the people in your DB married  from 1700-1800 in
your place.
Have fun, note the bottom of the screen, the choices to trim the current
group into a second search.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Split up to different family groups and Save

2008-09-05 Thread Pat Hickin


Sheelagh,
I did this and basically have been happy with the result -- I have VERY 
few connections between the two groups.  I think all the objections 
people have made are valid.   I'm continuing to keep mine split for the 
time being, but an added objection to dividng the two groups is in the 
Master sources and perhaps the Locations list.  Sometimes it means you 
have to enter the same source 2x , 1 for each database -- at least I 
haven't found a way to copy them.  I would certainly never split into 
more than 2 databases.


I could never split my mother's maternal and paternal line as there are 
WAY too many intermarriages -- it would be hell.

[LegacyUG] Intermarriages

Is there a way to pick an ancestor, say a randfather, whose 
descendants intermarried, and make a list of only intermarriages? I 
would assume not, but I am wondering. I see how it could be done via 
events, but what if I didn't have an event for it? (I don't. That why 
I am looking for them, I want to make an event for them.)


Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Split up to different family groups and Save

2008-09-05 Thread Terri Brown

Sheelagh,
 
I also have separate files for my genealogy and my husband's. I briefly thought 
about splitting them into maternal and paternal lines but decided that is too 
many databases to maintain. My father's line goes back to colonial America and 
there are A LOT of intermarriages with at least 3 in my direct line. I also 
have 3 separate Thompson lines (1 on my mother's line and 2 on my father's) and 
2 separate Wilson lines (1 each on my mother's and father's line). I am afraid 
that I will someday discover the Thompson lines connect and Wilson lines 
connect and then I'd have a mess on my hands. As it is I am hoping that the 
Braun line in my tree and the Braun line in my husband's don't "collide" 
somewhere along the line in Germany.
 
On the matter of duplicating sources and locations in each database: Legacy is 
supposed to allow you to import sources, locations, etc. from another database. 
However there appears to be a bug which prevents the import. When I reported 
the bug to support, Sherry responded saying that the bug is known and they are 
working on the fix. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. In the meantime, try 
this:
 
Choose the appropriate source/source citation in either the Master Source List 
or the List of Assigned Sources for any individual. Go to the Output tab and 
highlight the text you wish to copy. Use CTRL + C to copy the highlighted text 
(don't try to right-click and copy because it won't work). Paste the text into 
a blank Word document or in WordPad (or your preferred text editor). Now you 
have all the information you need to recreate that source in another database.
 
Hope this helps.
