Jan,

Well since I haven't managed to get the child status to show on Family View 
(not that I'm bothered as I don't use it) I am not sure that I am a good guide, 
but on mine when it is not checked it displays "married" on the bar with the 
marriage details on ie. the one between the kids and parents.

RE: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

Connie,

That is correct. It doesn't really matter for uploading small files onto one's 
server, say 2000 providing broadband is used, but otherwise it begins to take 
up quite a bit of time.

As a result many of use use comparison programs to sort out which files have 
been changed and only upload those. Clearly this would not work if the RINs 
were ever to be changed.

Whilst you are correct is saying that when it concerns written reports the RINs 
have no value, that is not true when it comes to web pages. In fact without 
them there would be no Pedigree web pages which are based on the RINs.

They are also used to a greater or lesser extent in other web pages. So far 
from cluttering up the brain for those, like me. whose main interest is 
creating websites they are essential.

BTW changing them can also really mess up a website, unless one complete 
replaces all the pages (which can run into 1000s ) on the server.

RE: [LegacyUG] Children's settings - step, adopted, twin etc

2008-10-18 Thread Jan Roberts

I have just had a bit of a play with this - and if you have designated a
Child Status it does indeed show beside the children's names in Family View
(very helpful if you also have 1/2 children showing because it reads - First
Name Middle Name SURNAME [RIN] (Birth year / Death Year) (Child Status - in
my case the user generated terms of Step-son / daughter of xyz) (name of
other natural parent).  Just as Linda McCauley said.

However - when I went into Options > Customise > View to check if I had it
set to show status I noticed a check box for Don't show "Married".  It was
ticked.  But what does it actually do?  Unticking it didn't make any
noticeable change to the Family View - but I'm not sure what it is meant to
affect.  Does anyone know?

Cheers,
Jan

Mark,

If you go to Options>Customise>View there is a check box for showing child
status, however in v7 at least it doesn't seem to do anything, not on my set
up at anyrate. It is not something I have used so I don't know what it
should do and there is nothing to assist in the Help Files.

To test it again I made my daughter adopted and nothing showed, and this is
not because I have columns of kids! Whether other symbols affect the output
I don't know.

I would suggest that perhaps Legacy could give a definative answer?

Re: [LegacyUG] Advice: How to source two different entries for same person & event in FamilySearch Labs

2008-10-18 Thread Terri Brown

Ann,

I would make appropriate notations in the Comments section of the Source Detail 
and attach both images. I would also to note the volume and page number in the 
original record.

Apparently the record was filmed twice. I've noticed that in other LDS 
microfilm. Sometimes they filmed pages twice and sometimes they missed pages 
completely.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Advice: How to source two different entries for same person 
& event in FamilySearch Labs


I have the printout & digital image from FamilySearch Labs. This is a page from 
the Oakland County Michigan Marriage Register. The printout in the same 
except the grooms age, birth year image number and Reference number.

The first printout has Groom age 24 years; Groom birth year 1849; Image number 
15; Reference number v. 1 p34 rn 1650.
The second printout has Groom age 25 years; Groom birth year 1848; Image number 
624; reference number v. 2 p34 rn 1650

The first image clearly has the groom's age 24. The second image is exactly the 
same as the first one except the right hand sheet overlaps the left hand sheet 
making the age appear to be 25. No where on either image does it give a birth 
year for the groom. Both entries are on lines 10, 11 & 12. The notations are 
the same at the bottom and top of both images.

A family member went to the Oakland County courthouse and looked at the entry. 
The grooms age is 24, however they said it was on page 117 of book i. The 
images do not have a page number written on them, there is a stamped 34.

There is no explanation on the FamilySearch Labs printouts as to why there are 
two entries.

I thought about having one source with notes explaining the two entries and why 
I think the age 24 printout is correct, also that FamilySearch Labs offers no 
explanation why there are two entries.

I would appreciate ideas on how you would source this type of situation.

Thank you,

Re: [LegacyUG] One couple, two divorces

You could create a "Remarried" and a "Redivorced" event.  Then if you used a
Marriage and a Divorced event all 4 events would show in chronology and FGS
reports and in the proper date order.

you should see a box titled Output Format, select GEDCOM 5.5 to create a

Hi Joyce
 
You are right, I did purchase Legacy and meant to say transfer Family to
Legacy, but my problem is that when I go to export it says "save as" and
then when I press the down button I am only given one choice, .ftmb, thank's
for trying.

Hi Laurie,

I'm not sure you understood what Erin said. You do not try to "Save" your
file. Go to "File" on the top Menu bar. Go down to "Export to" Click & the
menu should fly out with 3 choices listed, the first is "GEDCOM File"

If that doesn't work, you need someone from support to help you, 'cause what
I wrote is how it's supposed to work.

Hope this helps:-}

Joyce

P.S: Most people go from Family Tree to Legacy, not the other way around! 
I know I did!

I would like to know how to transfer family tree to Legacy 7, I have just
purchased family tree and it looks like to could be great, in the
instructions it says to save my family tree in a GEDCOM file when I go to
save family tree in a gedcom file in the drop down box, the only box I see
is a .ftmb file. What am I doing wrong?

If you're using Family Tree Maker 2009, click on File, choose and click 
onExport from the window that drops down. In the Export window that pops up 
you should see a box titled Output Format, select GEDCOM 5.5 to create a 
GEDCOM file which then can be imported into Legacy Family Tree.

2008-10-18 Thread Joyce Herzog

Hi Laurie,

I'm not sure you understood what Erin said. You do not try to "Save" your
file. Go to "File" on the top Menu bar. Go down to "Export to" Click & the
menu should fly out with 3 choices listed, the first is "GEDCOM File"

If that doesn't work, you need someone from support to help you, 'cause what
I wrote is how it's supposed to work.

Hope this helps:-}

Joyce

P.S: Most people go from Family Tree to Legacy, not the other way around!

Re: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

Lavern Hall wrote:

Hello,

I have always heard that it's best to begin entering data with yourself as #1.
I've done this and know it is a practice followed on this list. That
said, I recently
attended a genealogy conference where the speaker was strongly suggesting
that if you have only one child, that child should be entered as #1
and by doing
so, a clear picture of both parent's families would result. Has
anyone tried this?

I brought up the fact that starting with the child will change the
"usual" numbers
seen on a pedigree form, but was countered with "Numbers are not important."

The fact that I have one child is allowing me to consider this option,
but after
entering hundreds of names into Legacy, I'd hate to have to start over and I
won't do it without the expert advice on this list. Does the speaker's
suggestion
have merit? Any thoughts?

Thanks so much,
Lavern Hall

It seems to me that you and the speaker are talking apples and oranges. You start your research
with yourself because that is the person you already know the most about. This provides the most
clues about where to look next. It is just logical and common sense. The numbers mean nothing more
than a way to uniquely identify a person.

The speaker was talking about generating a report that shows a clear picture of the child's
ancestry. Your speaker may have been a good genealogist (though I doubt it) but apparently knows
little of modern genealogy computer programs. (a good genealogist would at least have a passing
knowledge.)

You can start entering your genealogy information with your 5th ggrandfather and as long as all the
information is entered and linked correctly you can generate any report that your program of choice
is capable of producing, clearly showing your child's relationships to his/her ancestors.

I wouldn't worry about that speakers advice and just keep doing what you are doing, especially using
a program as versatile as Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] entering first-person


Connie,

Whilst you are correct is saying that when it concerns written reports the RINs 
have no value, that is not true when it comes to web pages. In fact without 
them there would be no Pedigree web pages which are based on the RINs.

They are also used to a greater or lesser extent in other web pages. So far 
from cluttering up the brain for those, like me. whose main interest is 
creating websites they are essential.

BTW changing them can also really mess up a website, unless one complete 
replaces all the pages (which can run into 1000s ) on the server.

Re: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

Connie's last statement should put your mind to rest.
"If you decide you do have a use for the RINs, you can always change them
later if you don't like how they are automatically assigned."
So, if you do decide you want your people's RIN in some particular order
(say for filing purposes, not reporting purposes), you can RENUMBER them
anyway you choose, anytime you want to.
Perhaps some other software programs require you to enter people in a
particular order, but Legacy does not.
When you create a pedigree chart, whoever you choose to start with will be
numbered #1.  That could be you, your child, or your 3rd great grandmother.
Welcome to Legacy.  You will enjoy it.

Re: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

2008-10-18 Thread Wynthner

Numbers associated with a person aren't important unless those numbers are 
serving multiple purposes (like also serving as document numbers, etc.). As to 
pedigree numbering, there are several numbering systems in use around the world 
so trying to keep them in order is like re-arranging deck chairs on the 
Titanic- it may look pretty but is, in the end, a futile attempt at order.

Subject: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

Hello,

I have always heard that it's best to begin entering data with yourself as #1.
I've done this and know it is a practice followed on this list. That
said, I recently
attended a genealogy conference where the speaker was strongly suggesting
that if you have only one child, that child should be entered as #1
and by doing
so, a clear picture of both parent's families would result.  Has
anyone tried this?

I brought up the fact that starting with the child will change the
"usual" numbers
seen on a pedigree form, but was countered with "Numbers are not important."

The fact that I have one child is allowing me to consider this option,
but after
entering hundreds of names into Legacy, I'd hate to have to start over and I
won't do it without the expert advice on this list. Does the speaker's
suggestion
have merit?  Any thoughts?

Thanks so much,
Lavern Hall

Re: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

2008-10-18 Thread Connie Sheets

The numbers that are printed by Legacy on a pedigree chart have absolutely 
nothing to do with RINs, or who you enter first.  (Pedigree charts will always 
be appropriately numbered regardless of whose pedigree chart you print).

I completely ignore RINs and MRINs.  The only value they have, in my opinion, 
is for people who choose to file their paper files by number (I'm an 
alphabetical person).  And possibly, in some cases, to help distinguish two 
people of the same name (though I use other means, like their birth  dates or 
spouse name, to make that distinction).

Otherwise, they are just something else to clutter the brain, IMO.

It doesn't matter who you enter first; you could start with a 3rd cousin twice 
removed.  If you decide you do have a use for the RINs, you can always change 
them later if you don't like how they are automatically assigned.

RE: [LegacyUG] entering first-person


Lavern,

If I want an ancestry tree for my grandchildren then I start with them 
(actually you can only start with one and the others have to be added in a word 
processor). If I wanted the tree for my daughter then I would start with her 
etc. The RIN makes absolutely no difference.

Your question seems to imply that you believe that the RIN numbers are somehow 
related to the start person, they are not - although some people choose to 
ensure that the start person is number 1 (this is a complete waste of time in 
my opinion). There is no reason whatsoever why this should be the case. Hence 
no changes are need to your file, try just highlighting your child and 
compiling an Ancestry Report.

Well it rather depends who's genealogy you are wishing to record and 
why, doesn't it?


I think probably most of us here are recording our "family history" 
which, in the case of those who have children, means the history of our 
children, both their parents and the ancestry or their parents.  Most of 
us probably hope to pass on our research to our children and/or other 
family members after we are gone.


If you are only interested in recording your own family, then don't 
bother including your spouse and possibly not your child.  If you want 
your child to know their inheritance, then include him/her and your 
spouse and that side of the family.


As to what shows up on a chart or report - that's entirely up to what 
you choose to include.  With Legacy you can choose anyone you like to be 
the "starting person" and you can choose to display all relationships to 
that person.  You can still make yourself the "focus" of your family 
file, even if you have included your child and spouse and all your 
in-law relations.


I agree entirely with your speaker:  people are what is important, not 
numbers!  To paraphrase The Prisoner "I am not a number, I am a free 
woman!"

RE: [LegacyUG] entering first-person

2008-10-18 Thread glove

I wonder why the picture would be clearer depending on who you enter first!
The data you enter is the same and as your speaker noted, numbers are not
important, and this must work both ways. I have myself as the first person
and nothing is lost for either of my children. Perhaps the reference was to
a numbering system but since in Legacy this is under your control I don't
see the benefit of changing anything.

RE: [LegacyUG] Childrens settings - step, adopted, twin etc

Mark,

The latest version of Hotmail does not allow Plain Text and one has to switch 
to the old version to get Plain Text. In that version click the "show plain

I'm using hotmail, and didn't realise it was sending in html.  I don't know how 
to tell it not to send in html but will do a search on it.

As you say this does show if they are twins but not if they are adopted or step

What I had to do was to go in and create a new category in the child status box 
to show the description, in this case "step".

Re: [LegacyUG] Childrens settings - step, adopted, twin etc

Have you indicated that the child is a twin?  I had to do some figuring to
see how to do it.
Display the parents in family view.  Right click on a parent and select
"View" then "Children List..."
Then highlight the desired child and enter "Twin" "Stillborn", "Adopted"
etc. as appropriate in the "Child Status" box.
Then it shows on my Family View after the childs name and birth/death years.
Hope this helps.
