RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children
Mark, You do not say which (or what sort of) chart, so I cannot test this for you, but have you tried linking and setting the relationship to "step child" - which after all would be accurate. I am not sure if this option is there by default but if not you can just add it. I think it is just the need to link to the step father which is important.

Before they were married each had been married and had one child. I have set the family view to show 1/2 children so when I look at my uncles family card it shows him and his wife and three children - their son, his son from his previous marriage and his wife's son from her previous marriage. However whenever I try to chart this it will only ever show two children, and not the son of the his wife. If I show the wife's son as being adopted by my uncle then he will show in the reports such as descendants but it does not show his real father, just my uncle. Also, on the family view their is then 4 children showing, including the now adopted son who is shown twice as both adopted and as a 1.2 child. I hope you can understand what I am trying to show here. Is there any report or chart that will simply show the true relationships of my uncle and aunt, and their three children. They were always treated as simply one family. thanks for any help Mark _ Get all your favourite content with the slick new MSN Toolbar - FREE http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/111354027/direct/01/ ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

Re: [LegacyUG] Protocall in Divorce
On a related issue, my family researches at Kew TNA, UK have thrown up so far unrelated people with my rather uncommon surname. I include them in my Legacy database with the hope that some day I will discover their connections. On the same principle, I believe you should keep data on divorced connections. --- Jessica Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hindsight's 20/20.

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children
I checked also and it works fine. However, in the report while it shows a different surname there is no indicator for the child status. ie it does not say that the person is adopted or a step child, they have the same status the biological children. Re which report - I don't care what report it is, simply one that will show all the children of both people, not just the one focus person. Ideally what I am after is a report that states the biological children of the couple, and then also the children of their other marriages. A sort of two sided descendant report. In a normal descendant report it shows the other spouses of the focus person, and any children. I would like the report to show the other spouses of the spouse and their children also. In this case it is two of my uncles, and all my life the children that I grew up with were one family unit and that is what I would like to see. I hope this makes some sense.

RE: [LegacyUG] File Types
Sherry, thanks for the reply, but your answer does not tell me much more than I knew before. when I exit for the day I do not click File>Backup Family File. I do click File> Exit>the backup screen appears and this is where I enter a name for the backup files for data and mutimeda, then save. An example of what was produced last evening when I did my backup is as follows: (A) Data File Type: Compressed (Zipped) Folder Date Modified: 19/15/2008 11:47 PM Size: 45.0 MB (B) Multimedia File Type: Compressed (Zipped) Folder Date Modified: 19/15/2008 11:51 PM Size: 530 MB (C) File XXX.Rel Type: REL File Date Modified: 19/15/2008 11:37 PM Size: 49.1 MB The A and B files listed above I copy from me C Drive to my internal F Drive, then to my two external drives and I burn them to a CD. Question: Should I be copying the C File to these other drives as well? Question: What kind of information in included in the C File, is it the same information as what was included in the A file? Question: Why is there a difference between the size of the C File as compared to the A and B Files? I normally keep my saved files (A & B) stored in their respective places for at least a couple of months before deleting them off my C Drive, 3-4 months before deleting from my F Drive and several months before deleting the external drives, the CD's I keep. Question: The C Files, I have not been deleting and they are taking up a lot of space on my C Drive, can I safely delete these C Files without doing any harm to my Legacy database or my Legacy program as I do not know what information is included in these C Files?

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children
Mark, If the only addition you require is the inclusion of the Child Status then the Descendant Book Report may be what you are looking for -given that the child is linked to your uncle as either step or adopted. This can be included using Report Options>Include.

[LegacyUG] Charting
I have thought several times it would be useful if you do something like right-click on a person in the chart and then select to remove or hide them. If someone has two spouses then I will often attach the children to the second spouse as stepdaughter and stepson. This means that they appear twice on the chart. Also if there some children in a household as grandchildren, nephew, niece or not indicated then I will again sometimes attach these as grandchildren, nephew, niece or unknown until I know who their parents are. Again these will appear on the chart which can confuse someone if I send them a copy because there is nothing to show the relationship displayed on the chart. It might not be "correct" but helps identify them later when I find some more information. Martin Briscoe Fort William M&LFHS | Gwynedd FHS ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

Re: [LegacyUG] New member
Ron, In Legacy 7.0 we do not automatically calculate relationships for new people. The new relationship calculator in Legacy 7.0 will calculate both blood and non-blood relationships. In large files that can take a long time. If we were to recalculate the relationships every time you add someone the delay would be unacceptable.

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children
Ron again thanks for your suggestions. You are right the report will show the relationships but unfortunately it is also very verbose. I may end up word processing the report I want myself. The problem I have is that all these programs are focused on the line of an individual, whereas I want the details for a couple. This is not meant as a criticism of reunion.Another example is a cousin of mine who is a close friend of mine. He has been with his current partner for 20 years. She had two children from a previous marraige. Stan has 3 children from 2 previous marriages. If we all get together at christmas or for a bbq etc there will frequently be Stan, Jane and their five children. However, if I use a descendent report It will only show his or her children, not all of them. If I set them all up as step children then they will be included but I wont know who the biological parent is unless I use the large descendant book report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help.
A tad bit off the topic of the OP, and take no offense. This another example of where and how to keep your data. I know this subject comes up quite a bit. In your case, if your computer had a disaster and you had no current backup, on that computer you had the problem with, you have a problem of loosing your data. I would suggest that folks periodically backup and keep thier data away from that computer, via CD, Offsite, everyone has thier own thoughts on this. If you keep your backup on your computer, what if your hard drive fails, fire, theft, you are empty. Keeping your backups are great on the computer. I am just recommending offline backups from time to time. I burn a CD, Send it to my gmail account and use mozy (as slow as it is for me). Some folks keep it on a portable drive (which mine failed),. Same problem. As for this person, treat it as a new format and start all over with your different lists, emails, etc... You can get Legacy program back at thier website To get back on the list, http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists. As for Legacy, support you can get that off www.legacyfamilytree.com, yet I see how they could help you in this matter. I wish you the best in you efforts to recover as much as you can.

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children
Mark, I'm afraid that you are asking for too much! The fact is that the step/adopted children are not related to your family by blood, although because Legacy is a "Family" program it does allow a limited recognition of these children. I think to get the condensed chart which you require you will have to add the children in a WP, although the Descendant Chart does not allow saving in the rtf format which is a bit of a bind.

RE: [LegacyUG] File Types
Leo, When you backup, you will see a window that shows: Which files do you want to backup? Data Files Legacy family file (data) Research Guidance results file Relationships IGI search results file Clipboard files (to-do, sources, etc) Focus Group settings file You select your choices and the name & location that you want to use (next build will default to the file name of the file you're backing up) and then click on the Backup button - that will save all the necessary files as a .zip file. That's all you need to do. There is no option to backup the .REL file separately (that's related to the relationship calculations) - it's saved as part of the .zip file. You must have copied that over yourself. Just follow the steps in the backup window and if you need further help, click on the context-sensitive Help button. Thanks for using Legacy.

One commercial program is "Stellar Phoenix" which starts about $300US (there are other commercial programs and some shareware/freeware as well). I used Stellar Phoenix several years ago when doing laptop maintenance/recovery for a consulting company. When I left the company, they weren't interested in making the effort to have the software license transferred to one of their computers, so I fell heir to an occasionally very useful tool.

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Picture Negatives into Legacy 7
Be aware that most flat-bed scanners have much less resolution than a dedicated negative scanner and your positive image will be relatively small. Flat-bed scanners typically have a resolution of 600, maybe 1200 dpi (*optical* resolution, not interpolated). Dedicated negative scanners start at 1800 dpi and go up to 3600 dpi or higher. If you have large negatives (2 1/4 inches square or the like) then a flat-bed scanner at 600 dpi or higher may produce a usable positive image. If the negatives are black and white, almost any of the free graphics programs (IrfanView, for example) can do the negative to positive conversion. If the negatives are color, then the graphics program must be able to subtract out the orange base color of the negative material to create a proper positive image (probably starts with the lower end versions of PhotoShop). This is from experience - I have an 1800 dpi scanner for slides and 35mm negatives and a 1200 dpi (optical resolution) flat-bed scanner for documents and larger negatives.

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Picture Negatives into Legacy 7
I assume this writer has a very old flat-bed scanner. Mine is fairly old (5 years) and works up to 3200 dpi and handles negatives as well. Color slides scanned at 1200 dpi are plenty big enough. Small negatives are the same size. I've rarely used anything except Adobe Elements in conjunction with this scanner and turning negatives, B&W or color, has worked fine. - JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog.html John Carter wrote: Be aware that most flat-bed scanners have much less resolution than a dedicated negative scanner and your positive image will be relatively small.

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting
I know it can be done that way but I was just saying that it would be a lot easier if you select on the chart which you do want displayed with a right-click. At times you might want to removed some children who died as infants so that the chart will fit on a page easier. It will very cumbersome if every time you have to exit the chart, copy the file, delete some people, reopen the chart and try again.
