Re: [LegacyUG] Question re practicing file
Hello Trish All the replies seem to have missed the point of your question Trish Yes you can make new Legacy Family File under the name/s of your choice, ( e.g.: Practice One and Practice Two), and do whatever makes you happy with these files (Export to Legacy File and/or, Export to Gedcom, Import Gedcom etc. can then delete the practice files without doing any harm to other Legacy files. The main thing to remember is always "BACKUP" your existing family file/s and I also advise that you be very sure not to practice merging etc with your working master family file or tears of misery are liable to flow, remember that magic word "BACKUP". At any time when you feel you are finished with said practice files you can delete them without doing any harm to other Legacy files. \ Reg Brisbane-Australia ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

Re: [LegacyUG] A configuration problem regarding Pictures
Ye, I think that did it I selected the bottom right button, and it changed like you said, and I Removed them all. Re- tested and they have all gone away. Great news - now I will make a note of what to do, next time this happens and also mention what to do, to our local Legacy Group which meets monthly. Thank you so much, Cheers, At 01:17 PM 30/10/2008, you wrote: Why did you check the "let Legacy find the file" button?

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re practicing file
Work on a copy. Just make sure when you open Legacy you're using the 'Copy of' file, not your original. Put a backup of your original away somewhere so you don't misuse it. If you change Legacy settings while you're working on the copy, that would probably 'stick' so what I would do is make a backup of my entire Legacy directory to bring back after I've finished experimenting. If you have an external hard-drive or flash-drive, send your entire Legacy directory (look down your folder list in Windows Explorer to find it, if you're using Windows) and send a copy of it far away for safe-keeping. You can overwrite your experiment when you're ready to come back. - JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog Tish wrote: I am wondering if I could put into the family files - a fake file just to practice all the different and wonderful things that are in Legacy 7.

Re: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
I'm curious to know if some of the responses here are mistaking Country for County? In my Legacy 7.0 deluxe, you can query by Country, but not County. County isn't even an option. To further complicate the issue, I tried various search strings and methods last night on my file, and could not return any results at all on queries having anything to do with Burial Locations. -- That could very well be an operator error, but it was problematic, and will be a serious issue for me, none the less. I queried, in multiple fashions, for Blockers Cemetery in Webster Parish, Louisiana. My burial address shows it as Blockers Cemetery City: Sarepta State: Louisiana In the burial location I have it listed as: Sarepta, Webster, Louisiana I queried for Burial place contains: Webster This returned approximately 10 persons. -- Incorrect I queried for Burial address contains: Blockers This returned zero results - incorrect I queried for Burial Address contains: Sarepta This returned zero results - incorrect In reality I have over 30 persons in a 300+ person file that are buried in Blockers Cemetery, city of Sarepta, Webster Parish, state of Louisiana.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children & 1/2 siblings in birth order
Are the spouses sorted in order. That may not fix exactly, but is the 'normal' order. To get them to sort in blended age order, you have to make the spouses additional parents, which can get messy on its own.

Re: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
I have no idea of whether this is a search I would want to do 'often'. Things come up as they do and then I'm looking for ways to do them. Tomorrow will bring a different challenge for sure. I realize there are different places to put addresses than in the actual Address field that work better (who would have guessed?) - Master Location list, Burial field, or make a separate event. The short point is that, with everything else on my plate right now and for the foreseeable future, it would not be a priority for me to spend the requisite thousands of hours to move all my addresses. I'm biding my time thinking Legacy may get around to fixing this situation long before I have the time to resort my database to suit the parts that they've left out. - JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog Jenny M Benson wrote: JLB wrote I can get a similar list quite easily.

However, I have recently been converted from that idea to the idea of using only Location fields (it's very useful for the mapping function as well). From time to time people ask LUGgers if/how they can do something in Legacy and the answer is that they can, but by adopting a different method. Very often in such cases, the discussion ends with someone saying that the Legacy programmers should re-write some part of the program.

RE: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
Yes, I do use the + add burial pictures, but this is not my choice. If I don't have a personal picture, I put a picture of that person's tombstone(when I have one) which shows up on the "Family View" and websites etc. The only other way I've found to get a tombstone picture to be included on the website creation is by creating an event for it, and I don't like that, I think that's too much repetition. This is just my opinion, I can't see that it would be a big deal to have a tiny icon showing for the tombstone. I like having a photo of the tombstone, and many times I have gone to cemeteries with a list of photos I want, only later to find that there is another family member buried in that same cemetery, and I may make a note of that then forget about it.. Having an icon in Legacy for it would help remind me than my research is not complete in that area if I don't have the tombstone photo there.

Re: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
There's a problem with your solution. There's no such thing as a county field in the Address. There's only city/state. When I write the county in, I put city, county on the city line and then state on the next. Therefore I can't sort by county in a spreadsheet. But I can search the text document (as you describe) for the county name and get a list that way. (By the way, my list is 58 cemeteries in that county, not the approximately 25 I was imagining) put that list on one monitor and go back to Legacy on the other monitor and print out the people for each cemetery. Not only is that very long and inefficient, (even with dual monitors) but for the person I'm making this report for, it would require them to print out about 20 times more paper than they would have to if I was able to print off one compacted spreadsheet with a listing as I describe below. Overall it would probably take less time for Legacy to add the missing fields to Print options in the Name List. - JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog Gene Young wrote: JLB wrote: It's not way way complicated.

Re: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
JLB wrote I don't know anything about what I read people doing with Access. I do have OO but have never used it in conjunction with Legacy. Which Legacy file is used for that? I could play around with it. It's not quite as simple as that! If you opened your Family File in Access or OO Base you would find that it comprises about 28 files and it isn't always immediately obvious what information is stored in each file. Unless you are quite comfortable working with relational databases, I wouldn't advise "playing around" with Legacy. Of course, if you decide to do so you will back up your Family File first, won't you?! What's mdb? It's the native format of Access databases. The Legacy family file is actually an fdb (.fdb) file but you can open it in Access(1) by putting *.fdb or *.* into the name box when looking for the file, or entering the full name of it directly. By default, Access looks for a range of extension not including .fdb). (1) Presumably also in OO Base, but I have never attempted to do so, only used Access. Word of warning, though - I have read that there is - or was - some problem with saving Base files in Access format. Someone with more experience - Ron? - can perhaps advise if there is any problem opening a file in Legacy which has been altered in Base. -- Jenny M Benson ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

Re: [LegacyUG] looking for cems
JLB wrote I can get a similar list quite easily. What I'm looking for is a way to sort that list by cemetery. In one of my 'counties' I have dozens of different cemeteries. I can pick them out one by one by going through 500 or so entries in the Master Event Address list. I'm just looking for a shortcut. I think several people have tried it now and the general consensus is that it's beyond Legacy's abilities. If this is a sort of search you are likely to want to make quite often, perhaps you should consider putting full addresses into the Location field instead of using the Address fields. Yes! I know this is against best database practice and as Event Address and the other Address fields are there in Legacy it seems to make sense to use them. However, I have recently been converted from that idea to the idea of using only Location fields (it's very useful for the mapping function as well). From time to time people ask LUGgers if/how they can do something in Legacy and the answer is that they can, but by adopting a different method. Very often in such cases, the discussion ends with someone saying that the Legacy programmers should re-write some part of the program. I think it might be more realistic for us users to adapt our working methods a little. There! I suspect I have just said something rather controversial - follow-ups should prove interesting! -- Jenny M Benson ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

Re: [LegacyUG] copy master sources to new family file
Thank you one and all. I never knew the "tree finder" funtion existed. Since the majority of responders had success with a tree within a tree, I think that's what I'll do. But I also loved the cleverness of the responder who made a person named "other" and attached all the master sources to him/her. That was a great way to get around a problem Joan Researching BOND and CASHIN in Port Felix Nova Scotia. Researching BROWN and LAFORET in Boston Mass. Researching DESCHENES and LAVOIE in Quebec. --- On Tue, 10/28/08, John S. Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: John S.

If I find others who are related to them but not to my main tree, I link them also. They will appear as a separate tree which you can view by selecting View>Tree Finder. When or if you do find a link to your main tree, it is simple to link them and all the data and sources you've entered will be there. Hope this helps. John S.

RE: [LegacyUG] Report Question
I LOVE this idea! Also, would LOVE to have the ability to colour text for event notes, or perhaps change the typeface/font. For example, I transcribe obituaries rather than showing the associated picture of the newspaper clipping (because you can't specify individual picture sizes). The ability to colour the text differently from the standard text of birth, death, marriage events, etc. would make the obit text stand out as quoted text. I toyed with making obit text in italics, but a lot of italic text is difficult to read. Christine -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Carter Sent: 27 October 2008 11:54 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Report Question This might be a place for an enhancement to the printing options in Legacy: be able to define printing colors by line as we can define colors by line in Family View - blue is Grandpa A, green is Grandpa B, etc. This would make printing at home much more expensive for some people - but some of us have printers with separate ink tanks for each color which means that color printing is only slightly more expensive than black (some Canon and Epson models). If you were having the book printed at Kinko's or the like, you would need to see what their prices are for color versus black. Whether other people would want/use this option is something Legacy would have to determine. I think it's probably the easiest way for a child (and some adults) to follow the lines in a text format. And if the child has a Grandpa Greene, be sure that line is printed in green ;-) John > I've been months away from the program and am re-acquainting myself > currently.
