[LegacyUG] Chart
Hi Is it possible to print out a chart in Legacy in book form, similar to Family Tree and can I include the relationship of myself to other people?. If a person has a Title eg a King or Princess is that included in the name? Regards Laurie ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store. Use coupon code: Legacy2008 at checkout.

Re: [LegacyUG] Update from 7.0.0.45 to 7.0.0.55
I know all about that. That is where my computer stopped responding at 7% downloaded. I also went to Legacy's Home Page, but there it wants to download the whole program. All I want is the update. That is what I ask for. Can the update be downloaded without downloading the whole program? In RootsMagic, you get an e-mail when an update is available with a clickable link in the e-mail. Most of the updates will download in a matter of minutes even on dial-up. LLH In a message dated 10/19/2008 4:35:08 P.M.

RE: [LegacyUG] UK customisations
Kaled, Is any software perfect out of the box? :-0. The best peiece of advice I would give you is that when entering locations ignore the 4 field naming convention - they are not suitable for the UK (and much of Europe). Enter in the Location Field what you believe to be the correct location in full. Then go to ViewMaster ListsLocationsSort and change the direction of sort to Right to left. Thus when looking for a location it can easily be found eg. Country, County, Town, District, locality - England, Salford, Eccles, Winton. I also add the the house into this eg. 303 Eccles New Road and only use the Address function for living people - before the pedants jump in, I stress that this is a personal choice but I Find it helps when using the mapping function. Note also that there are source templates for parts of the UK so when sourcing for a template put the country in the search box.

Hi, Ron -- Well, obviously I've just made a total mess of this, since no one seems to understand what I'm talking about, so I'll try it this way -- What FIELD do I attach the source citation to? I know children are linked through birth certificates, etc., but what FIELD do I use for this in the *mother* or *father's* individual information screen? Yes, I source the child's birth date, etc., with the birth certificate in the *child's* information screen -- but what about the parents' information screens? I agree that if I have a birth certificate source, anyone reading the report can probably assume that the child is linked to the parents through that source. But what if this is *before* birth certificates? And I'm using a combination of other information and sources to determine that Baby Doe is the child of John Doe and Jane Doe? If I have a will, some deeds, some newspaper articles and some census information that all points to this being the child of these parents, what FIELD in the parent's information screen do I use to show that this source, or these sources, link these individuals that will also show up on an ancestor or descendant report -- other than the father or mother relationships in the Children's settings? Or is it just the fact that the child shows up in the report as the child of this marriage, and then when someone asks me how I determined that, I then tell them how I did it? And hope that they ask me before I'm dead myself? Kris ronald ferguson wrote: Kris, You write: My point is, if I have the child-parent relationship setting off, then there's nothing in the report that shows how I made the connection between that child and those parents. Thus my original question. I feel that this statement is too strong and rather depends on how one arranges the reports. For example they can be shown to be linked to their parents in the Sources by a birth certificate or by a census, admittedly the latter cannot always (arguably never) be used as proof of the parentage. I do not usually publish details of the child status as such, but it can often be inferred from date of birth.

RE: [LegacyUG] UK customisations
Kaled, Sorry, the example I gave should have read England, Lancashire, Salford, Eccles, Winton. Also many locations would not have a city which is used in the 4 field convention - and I hate multiple commas in locations! Country, County, Parish is very common in earlier centuries.

Re: [LegacyUG] Considering purchasing GenSmarts Personal Historian
I use GenSmarts. I am a relative newbie at genealogy so that may be part of it. I find that GenSmarts helps me look at things from a different perspective. I also find that it alerts me to sources that online that I didn't realize were online (such as a website by the state of Missouri where I was able to access the death certificate of the first ancestor in America in one line.) So I find it fairly useful. I don't use it on a every day basis but do use it after every several days of other research.

I am trying to decide if they are worth considering but wanted to check on a few things first. GenSmarts 2.0: This sounds like a great program for analysing my database for under-analysed areas of my database and for possible sources to check. However, my concern is that I live in New Zealand and most of my ancestors came from either England, Ireland or Scotland. Is the program specifically geared towards mostly American sources (census, BDM information, etc.) or is there enough references to outside of America for it to be of use to me? Personal Historian: Again, this would be of great use to me in creating personal histories but American timelines, historical facts and cultural trivia are of no use to me. Does the program cater for cultural trivia, and globally historical facts as well? Would both these programs still be worth the $US29.95 each if they did have a primarily American focus? If any listers out there from other areas of the world can help with this I would be greatly appreciative. They both sound like great tools to utilise.

Re: [LegacyUG] Considering purchasing GenSmarts Personal Historian
I'm in Australia and use GenSmarts, I like the sandbox feature where you set up your own complex searches of your Legacy file. From that I could gauge which people to look at for military records, indexes etc, because GenSmarts makes guesses at dating for individuals. While the suggested dating is useful as a guide, don't completely trust it. You may find some other GenSmarts' elements useful, where it suggests some online searching for some of your gaps, Legacy now has more powerful searching so it covers some of GenSmarts features. I've only just bought Personal Historian, so I can't really comment on it yet. It's supposed to help you write out your personal history on various topics. I've noticed that it will suggest various themes and the help section was useful. I have plans on using it and mixing the themes and some of the interview questions from Legacy to get information in oral/video history format, then I'll use Personal Historian to help me flesh it out into a more readable format - I like using the Fog Index for that. So yes there are many Americanisms in the programs, but you can pick and choose the elements that are useful to you. Cheers Tracy ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

RE: [LegacyUG] Separating a family for webpages
Syble, Since you have already used my suggestion as to what might be the problem, it is necessary to look further. I have created Pedigree web pages using your formatting set up and it worked OK. So, the problem is not with the Web Page Creation function per se. Try deleting the WebPage.usr file in C:\Legacy (if you are using the defaults), but a word of caution all you settings will be lost so I suggest that you make a note of them, then you can put them back! Before putting them back you might like to try creating the pages using the defaults and if that doesn't work the problem lies elsewhere. Please come back and let us know how you got on - if it doesn't work we can have another think.

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.

Hello Connie I picked up that you file alphabetically, how would you file a married couple I can see that all unmarried people could be done by alphabet but I just wondered do you file the husband and wife separately Regards John - Original Message - From: Connie Sheets [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2008 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] entering first-person 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. Connie Sheets Flagstaff, AZ __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I have created Pedigree web pages using your formatting set up and it worked OK. So, the problem is not with the Web Page Creation function per se. Try deleting the WebPage.usr file in C:\Legacy (if you are using the defaults), but a word of caution all you settings will be lost so I suggest that you make a note of them, then you can put them back! Before putting them back you might like to try creating the pages using the defaults and if that doesn't work the problem lies elsewhere.

RE: [LegacyUG] UK customisations
even in the USA the software is only set up for generic our country is
divided up by ward, city, county, state and if it is rural it is section,
township, county, state ... you just have to put comma in so your report
looks just fine then even cemeteries had sections in them to tell you were
to look for the resting place so just work with it for your needs If you
ask 10 people what they do you will get 10 answers because each family tree is
unique that means millions of unique trees even the places legacy asks
for a description you have to see what verb they are using and then write it
accordingly so it reads as you want in the report you plan to usenow mind
you there is a way legacy will advise but it doesn't always fit you family tree
and there isn't another software out there that will answer everyones needs so
I will just chug along with this excellent legacy software for its better than

+0100Kaled, Is any software perfect out of the box? :-0.
The best peiece of advice I would give you is that when entering locations
ignore the 4 field naming convention - they are not suitable for the UK (and
much of Europe). Enter in the Location Field what you believe to be the correct
location in full. Then go to ViewMaster ListsLocationsSort and change
the direction of sort to Right to left. Thus when looking for a location it
can easily be found eg. Country, County, Town, District, locality - England,
Salford, Eccles, Winton. I also add the the house into this eg. 303 Eccles New
Road and only use the Address function for living people - before the pedants
jump in, I stress that this is a personal choice but I Find it helps when using
the mapping function. Note also that there are source templates for parts
of the UK so when sourcing for a template put the country in the search box.
They are not complete as yet but often one of the existing ones can be
adapted. No doubt others will add to the list.Ron Ferguson

RE: [LegacyUG] Separating a family for webpages
Syble, It's surprising what a good night's sleep can do for a PC! More worrying, though, is the erratic behaviour you are seeing with it shutting down, and the problems you had with the merge. Things like this can have many causes, other than human error, which can include problems with your PC. In particular, I am left wondering if your RAM is on the blink - how old is it? Provided that V6 is installed in a different directory to V7 and all associated files for each are similarly kept apart then they should not interfer with each other - eg I have one version on Drive C and another on Drive E which run without problems. At this stage nobody knows when the next update will be available.

I have created Pedigree web pages using your formatting set up and it worked OK. So, the problem is not with the Web Page Creation function per se. Try deleting the WebPage.usr file in C:\Legacy (if you are using the defaults), but a word of caution all you settings will be lost so I suggest that you make a note of them, then you can put them back! Before putting them back you might like to try creating the pages using the defaults and if that doesn't work the problem lies elsewhere.

Re: [LegacyUG] Germany and Czech Locations
There are two choices for location names. 1. The name of the place at that time, or 2. the current name for everyplace. For both American and European locations I have as many as five names for the same place, over different times. The location notes explain the details. Choice 2 means each time a government reorganized its boundaries, you have to change your whole database. No thanks.

RE: [LegacyUG] Separating a family for webpages
I hadn't thought about it being the computer, but yes, it is 6 yrs. old, it was a top of the line at the time Dell 8100 Dimension, but I do use it a lot. It is slower than it was and I have been concerned that it might be going down, I did buy a laptop, but I'm not comfortable with it, so use it sparingly. I may need to talk to a computer repair person about it. Thanks for the comments.

More worrying, though, is the erratic behaviour you are seeing with it shutting down, and the problems you had with the merge. Things like this can have many causes, other than human error, which can include problems with your PC. In particular, I am left wondering if your RAM is on the blink - how old is it? Provided that V6 is installed in a different directory to V7 and all associated files for each are similarly kept apart then they should not interfer with each other - eg I have one version on Drive C and another on Drive E which run without problems. At this stage nobody knows when the next update will be available.

I've been having a few weird things happening. A couple of months ago, I had Legacy to shut down by itself, would give me an error message, and a second later would shut down. Well, it's done that two times in the last day or so, it's was so quick and caught me off guard, I didn't get the error message, both times I was adding a source, and as best I remember that's what I was before. I've added many sources from that time until now and it has worked fine. I haven't deleted V6 yet, I don't use it, but I do have some files I haven't imported into V7. Would there be a chance this is causing a problem. I don't remember having any problems with V5 or V6, but V7 is a different story. I have the build version 7.0.0.55, any ideas when they are going to have another update. I combined two family files recently and it was almost as if it just scattered them throughout the Legacy family file. Certainly people were added 5-6 times and I had some distant relatives that actually went in as my children, it was a mess, numerous ones were added twice, I finally just deleted it.
