Re: [LegacyUG] set relationships
When I enter a person, I have a field I call "relationship" that I complete when I enter a person. I set this field to show on the Family view. That way I don't spend time researching people who are not related; and I can tell at a glance who/how the person is related to either myself, my husband, or our granddaughter. Don't mean to complain, but I do miss the v6 method. I have to use the Relationship Calculator for my husband's and granddaughter's relatives anyway so now I'll have to use it to do mine. Thanks for the help everyone.

Imagine the program automatically doing that every time you added a new name. I do not reset after adding every name, even if in a direct line, just every now and again when I either need to do it or just want to look at something.

A non-direct relationship is like "husband of the second cousin, six times removed."

I have not had that problem. I just added a test person in v6 whose relationship calculated immediately to 5th cousin, 5 times removed. Elsie Version 6 will set the immediate family but to get relationships farther out, you do need to recalculate. It seems to me that it automatically sets husband, wife, and children and siblings and anything going up the direct line. Beyond that I think I need to recalculate.

Re: [LegacyUG] Norwegian Names and Locations
Since I have family in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, I have had to fight with patronymics. In Norway birth records are written Name Kristoffer (note no surname), parents Nils Olsen and Gunhild Kristoffersdotter, farm they are living on Selbekk. In the bygdeboks the names are given using Kristoffer Nilsen Selbekk, until he moved to a new farm, then the book calls him Kristoffer Nilsen Ølstøren. Because of this naming system, on the first name I include Kristoffer Nilsen and Surname Selbekk (farm born on). I put alternate farm names in the AKA (Ølstøren). The women use the same system, taking the farm name. In the other countries, they don't use the farm names as surnames as often. By the online reference, do you mean the transcripts of the census records, or the LDS transcripts of the BMD on the IGI. These are helpful. I found that the IGI on microfiche were useful (bought before my first computer) but with no surname in the baptism records, the IGI was hard to search. Good luck.

Without changing the default, only the contents of the Description field, it can be made to read eg.

RE: [LegacyUG] photos
Jim, I made up a new event called Cemetery Headstone and attached the photo of the cemetery headstone to the event. With a new event, it will print what ever you want it to print. Just make sure that the report options have the print event photos checked Off ... I get a picture of the person at the beginning of his section and the photo of the headstone next to the event.

Ron, Since both my parent's lines go back to England, Ive found Google to be a great help there also. And I do not limit myself on how many different segments of the location entry are used.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy with Linux/Wine
Sherry, Thanks for the response, but I am aware of Win4Lin and VMWare. However, my point is that I am moving away from Windows and with Win4Lin and VMWare, I still have to install Windows on my computer. So it sort of defeats the purpose of going to Linux to get away from Windows. I'll just keep trying to get Wine to work since Legacy is the only program keeping me from doing away with Windows.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Groups
Focus groups are very powerful for various purposes. Keep in mind that a focus group does not consist of a set of records in the database but instead is a list of criteria that can be used to select records dynamically from the database. You can "save" up to 9 focus groups and "load" them for use when needed. Because I keep all my info in one database, using focus groups makes it easy to extract certain parts for collaboration with a given relative while another focus might be used to quickly find those who need to be worked on in some way. I might even export a focus group to a new Legacy database so it can be used separately from the main file and then later it can be re-merged with intellishare. The miscellaneous search has a convenient way to find everyone in a focus group and then you could "tag" them or work with them, etc. One minor problem with the focus group is the ability to include individuals in the current search results list. This criteria works well as long as you realize that the "current search results" change quite frequently and may not be related to the other criteria in a given focus group. Happy slicing and dicing of the info. It is great to use Legacy as it manipulates a Microsoft Access database and also for those adventurous types that want to reach even deeper into the data structures when they can't find what they want in the current programs.

Re: [LegacyUG] combining addresses
Elsie, I played a little bit. Let's see if I am on the same page as you. I went to Locations, highlighted (clicked on) one, clicked Combine, then used the arrow keys to navigate up and down the list. No additional clicking necessary until you get to the entry to Combine With. Hitting the enter key will also finish the Combine function. Next I went to View/Master Lists/Address Lists/Events (or Mailing or Repository). I highlight (click on) an entry, then clicked on Combine the highlighted event address with another on in the list. At this point the arrow keys will not move the cursor up or down. However, when I click on the list ***again*** the arrow keys now move the cursor up and down so I can navigate to the appropriate entry and click on Highlight the Destination or hit the enter key. Are you clicking on the address list a ***second time***? That was the only way I could get my arrow keys to work in the address lists. If you are not, try it and see if the arrow keys then work. If you are, then there is something different with your keyboard or computer or something. I don't believe there is any setting in Legacy to control how the arrow keys work in the various lists. I never noticed the different behavior until I started playing around after your post. Possibly another little bug.

RE: [LegacyUG] Events/Facts on Pedigree Web Pages
The cemetery is Green Ridge two separate words. I realize that legacy does not have every cemetery but this is a big one and all of my ancestors this problem does not occur and those cemeteries are very small. Doesn't make sense. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Art Seddon Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:56 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Events/Facts on Pedigree Web Pages According to AnyWho online telephone directory, Google search, Microsoft Virtual Earth, which Legacy uses for mapping locations and also the Microsoft Streets and Trips mapping program the name is "Green Ridge Cemetery".
