RE: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question

[Richard and Evita Piepho]

Let me give you all a way to list the source...using Rootsweb as an example and 
using their sub topic "metasearch" for say henry pedersen..and you found 
some data 
   use the following
Rootsweb Meta Search (On line:  The Generations Network, Inc, 2005),  
http://resources.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/metasearch , examined for any 
reference to 1st name Henry and last name Pedersen, accessed 12 Oct 2008.
that is your source "nothing more and nothing less" now your notes to do 
research you need to prove that source but your source for the data you just 
aquired is as listed above.

Re: [LegacyUG] Options settings not sticking?

[Brian/Support]

Have you moved that file to a new location? Is the box with the family 
file name filled in below that always open this file option?


If you have Legacy set to always open a specific file and then move the 
file or rename it Legacy will not be able to find it and will ask you 
which file to open using the file window you are seeing.

Has anyone experienced this? (Options settings not sticking)

I've been opening Legacy program just about every night this week, and
working on the same project (A Morgan Family).
Every time I open Legacy it asks me what file to open via the pop up
box with all my files in it, I select the one I want (A Morgan Family)
and off I go.
Please note here I've been opening the same file every time, but
having to choose it in the list. It is not automatically opening it.

I thought I had set it to automatically open last file used way back
when, but since I've changed files I'm working in, I didn't mind it
and ignored the issue.

I just went in to find in options where to change an RIN, and while
going through the options screen I find where my options are set as
such:

Options
Customize box
General tab
Starting family file > Always open this file: (Toggled ON)

Options
Customize box
General tab
Program Startup section
Start with Legacy Home View (toggled ON)

Of these two options, NEITHER are actually happening.

I'm selecting what file to open from a selection box.
And when my file opens it's always on the Family tab.

Is this just an issue I have, or does anyone have the same issue?

Thanks,
Jessica Morgan

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question

[Richard and Evita Piepho]

Source info... if gotten from Ancestry that is you source... it is a 
database name the source,  name the owner of the site, URL,  date last 
verified by the site. While the source isn't the real document it still is 
your source means you then need to go to their source yourself before you 
can accurately state the information is correct... many things can happen in 
between... you cannot add Nevada to the true source until you have verified it 
for yourself.  repeat ...you should also make notes if you are getting your 
information from the actual document or a transcription etc... Remember there 
can be transmission problems of various sorts between Nevada and Ancestry.  
Ancestry is no different than Uncle Bob's data ...it is a clue in your 
verification of the data you are looking foryou are the detective and you 
must build your case with each clue until you have the actual fact.  true if 
ancestry states it and you have several other sources which state it then it 
becomes fairly certain, unless they all are using the same source and then all 
may be wrong.  you become the detective and lawyer presenting your case for 
that data.  You can not just be satisfied with one third party or second party 
source  that is why the software lets you put more than one source for the 
data so you can determine the information you put into your tree.

Hi, Kay! I used the Internet>Database template and put Ancestry.com as the 
Website title and not the Website Creator. I left Website creator blank. I 
wonder if this is just a bug in the template or if there is some reason Website 
creator does not show up in a footnote. I may have to check out my Mills EE

Re: [LegacyUG] Newbie with a question

[Wendy Howard]

Hi Ed,

You can copy your file, then edit it to remove the branches you don't 
want to include (disconnect your wife from her parents (assuming you 
want to keep her there as your spouse) then delete her parents' lines).  
File > Save As


Or you can export the branches that you do want to share with your 
nephew to a new file.  File > Export


In my opinion, you are doing the right thing recording both your and 
your wife's lineages in one file.  It saves a lot of duplication, keeps 
things consistent, and it is very easy to extract portions when you 
don't want to share everything.


Hope this helps.  :-)

Wendy Howard

RE: [LegacyUG] Considering purchasing GenSmarts & Personal Historian

[Profiler]

Hi Tracy, Bruce and Melody,

Thanks very much for you feedback. It sounds like although there are a lot
of features that only really pertain to the U.S., there is still enough
elements of the program to make them worthwhile.

For those in Oz and NZ I will give some feedback once I have used them for a
while.

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

And tney will try to create all the templates, as soon as Ancestry stops making

I will agree with what you said. I have no information about what format the 
'Nevada' stuff is, photocopy or transcript. Transcripts are much more changable

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question

[Kay Fordham]

Jennifer -

Thanks for including the two examples below.  My initial question involved 
citing the source of the source as indicated in your example of an 
index/database with no images.  I found inconsistencies in "Evidence 
Explained" where the source of the source was cited in one such case and not 
in another, and so I requested confirmation to ensure I understood the 
methodology.  One needs to know where Ancestry got the data -- from state 
records or who knows where.  This is how one decides credibility.

Richard:

I have to disagree somewhat. The Nevada Marriage Index at Ancestry.com is 
strictly an index and does not contain images. Therefore, it is not 
*exactly* like the US census records. When you cite digital images, it is 
different than citing an index or transcription. But I do cite Ancestry.com 
in both citations so that I know where to go back to find the digital image 
or index entry.
And I would also say that Ancestry.com is the originator of that particular 
database, though Nevada is the originator of the information that is part of 
the database. Ancestry formatted that information to suit its customers'

needs and physically created the database, so I think it would be
incorrect to give Nevada credit for the database.

All:

I don't understand how any can say that they've seen the original State of 
Nevada index at Ancestry.com. As the OP said, Ancestry took two indexes and 
created one database with both of them. Also, the entries I've researched in 
that particular index at Ancestry.com do not have images of the original two 
indexes. It is strictly a transcription. Are there other entries that have 
images of the index? In that case, then you would be citing a digital image 
of an index and you could put the State of Nevada or Clark County as the 
author of the index. It would look something like this:


Clark County, Nevada, Marriage Index Book 210: 25, Smith-Jones; Marriage 
Bureau, Las Vegas; digital image, "Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005," 
Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : accessed 1 Aug 2008).


If you were just looking at the index with no image on Ancestry.com, then 
you would do something more like this:


"Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005," database, Ancestry.com 
(http://www.ancestry.com/search : accessed 12 Oct 2008), entry for Victor L, 
King and Betty J. Hackett, 10 Feb 1998; citing Nevada Marriage Book 210: 
C923786, no. 71867.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question

[Donna Felina Roach]

When I make a new source from Ancestry, I go below the search page and there 
is the source cited.  If I go to the record, the specific citation is 
listed.


I just felt like getting rid of my two cents worth.  It does get heavy after 
a while.  :)

Ancestry has a copy of the original two indexes- note plural but they then 
combined those into ONE database and indexed that database so yes- Amazon 
did create the database that allows you to view the original pages of the 
original two indexes.

Whilst I agree that it is unlikely, it is just possible

The source, at this juncture, has to be what has been

Elizabeth,

Does this get back to the argument that 'my source' is where I found the 
information, rather than where the information was, as far as can be deduced 
from the information available to me, originally created.

It may be a personal preference, but I maintain my source is where I got the 
information. As far as I'm concerned, anything else is hearsay (albeit 
written) until I've checked it out.

In the case below, It is highly probable that the data was created by 
Nevada, but until the records at Nevada are checked out, it is not certain 
that such data has been transferred accurately. Perhaps this could be 
covered by the surety level, but I'm would not be happy with that.

We may have to agree to differ on this one.

Elizabeth,

Does this get back to the argument that 'my source' is where I found the 
information, rather than where the information was, as far as can be deduced 
from the information available to me, originally created.


It may be a personal preference, but I maintain my source is where I got the 
information. As far as I'm concerned, anything else is hearsay (albeit 
written) until I've checked it out.


In the case below, It is highly probable that the data was created by 
Nevada, but until the records at Nevada are checked out, it is not certain 
that such data has been transferred accurately. Perhaps this could be 
covered by the surety level, but I'm would not be happy with that.


We may have to agree to differ on this one.

Bill

True, this is an index only, not the marriage record documents themselves.
The original image of the index is at Ancestry, and was not created by 
Ancestry. The index was created by the State of Nevada and Clark County.
Rich is correct, Ancestry is NOT the originator of the index, it is the 
repository.

Rich,

Sorry, I disagree.

Whilst I agree that it is unlikely, it is just possible that Ancestry.com
has changed the record created by Nevada.

The source, at this juncture, has to be what has been viewed -
Ancestry.com - with mention of the sources they say they are relying on,
until such time as the 'original' source is personally checked.

I disagree. Ancestry.com is not the originator of the database, Nevada is
that. Ancestor owns the photocopies and/or transcriptions that it created
from the data. It charges for access to that file. But you can go to Nevada
and make your own copies (plane fare and hotel room not included). Use the
example for US census records, changing the obvious differences.

7.0.0.55 Build

Tried the new Source Writer for the first time today and love it.  I
have a question about it relating to E. Shown-Mills, "Evidence
Explained."  I'm citing an Ancestry.com database entitled "Nevada
Marriage Index, 1956-2005."
Ancestry.com, in their Source Information, cites (1) their database
Ancestry.com Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . .; (2) Nevada
State Health Division, Office of Vital Records, Nevada Marriage Index,
1966-2005 .
. . .; and (3) Clark County Nevada Marriage Bureau, Clark County
Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . .

Obviously Ancestry.com is the originator of this database.
I like to know
from whence their data comes.  Should I use in the Detail section
"Citing numbers 2 and 3 above."  In "Evidence Explained" I'm seeing
this used in some of the image examples but not in other databases.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have to agree with William -- in this case the index was explicitly 
created by Ancestry.  True, they used some else's data to compile it, but 
there is no such thing as a "Nevada Marriage Index" in either Clark County 
or the State of Nevada archives... instead there are pieces of this index in 
three different locations, which have been compiled together to create this 
index, which is not available elsewhere.


In this case I think there are two options available -- first you could cite 
Ancestry.com as the source of the data (and paste the info about their 
sources into the comments tab), or you could separate out the source into 
two different sources, with Ancestry as the repository.  In that case, you 
need to know if the data you are sourcing originally came from Clark County 
records, or from State of Nevada records... and I don't know if Ancestry is 
specific enough with individual entries for you to make that determination 
(though obviously if the marriage took place outside of Clark Co., it must 
be the State records.)


This is the one big problem I have with SourceWriter when it comes to 
Ancestry "index" style databases -- oftentimes there simply isn't a good 
match!  (for instance, how do you source a Birth Index?  It's obviously a 
birth record, but there is simply no choice for text databases of birth 
registers at the state/provincial level, which is essentially what an index 
is.)


It would be great if someone at Legacy (or anyone for that matter) actually 
went through all the types of databases available at Ancestry and compiled a 
best-practices list for what source template to use for each type of 
database, because right now it seems as if they're using the Mills book to 
design this, without actually looking at what exists in the real world.

your own copies (plane fare and hotel room not included). Use the example for 
US census records, changing the obvious differences.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Version 6

[Diane Szabo]

Hi, Sherry,

When 6.0 came out, I purchased the deluxe version.  I no longer recall what 
my unlock key was for that version.  How can I find out so I can begin using 
Legacy again?

It's not quite as simple as just reinstalling v6.

The first thing you need to do is create a gedcom of your Family File in
Legacy v7 (File > Export to... Gedcom file), unless you created a backup
before installing Legacy v7.

Then with the Family File open, go to File > Delete Family File to delete
that file.  Legacy v6 will not open the Family File once it's been opened in
Legacy v7 so we need to get rid of that file and have the gedcom or backup
available to create a new file for v6.

Uninstall Legacy 7.0.   This will not delete any of your family files,
pictures or other data.  It will only remove Legacy 7.0.

After you uninstall Legacy, with Windows Explorer look in the C:\Legacy
folder or whichever folder you had Legacy installed in.   Within this folder
you will find several files remaining that you will need to delete.
Carefully delete the following files with the file extension of:

.usr   (defined as "USR File")
.exe  (defined as "Application")
.ocx  (defined as "ActiveX Control")
Legacy.exe.local (defined as "LOCAL file")


DO NOT delete any of the folders like the Data folder, Picture Folder or Web
Folder as these folders hold your data and you don't want to accidentally
delete your family file or pictures.   Don't delete any reports you may have
saved to the main Legacy folder,.  All the other files should be deleted.
You'll need to reset your preferences after you reinstall.

Use this link and download and install the most recent build of Legacy 6.0.
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/helpDownloadVersion6.asp

The password required to install is on the website with the download
information.

Either import the gedcom file into Legacy v6 or restore the backup.


Thanks for using Legacy.

I have Legacy 7 Standard but, I liked Legacy 6 better. Is there a site where
I can download v6?

Hello,

again the same question as half a yera ago. When will Legacy Charting be
able to print just the short locations? It doesnt make any sense to print a
wallchart with wordmonsters like these: born 1.1.1900 Adams Peak Community,
Pottawatomie Co., Kansas, USA. :-)
Yours Cindy

[LegacyUG] Legacy Charting - short location

[bramaputra]

Hello,

again the same question as half a yera ago. When will Legacy Charting be able 
to print just the short locations? It doesnt make any sense to print a 
wallchart with wordmonsters like these: born 1.1.1900 Adams Peak Community, 
Pottawatomie Co., Kansas, USA. :-)
Yours Cindy
