[LegacyUG] Multiusers
I am thinking of making a purchase of Legacy software but I have a question first. Does this program have the capability of being installed on a website so individual members of the family can can log in and add their information and the results of their research? I have many cousins who live all over the country and each seems to have quite of bit of information on the various branches of the family. It seems that this sort of arrangement would be the easiest method of creating this particular family genealogy.

[LegacyUG] using two computers
Can anyone give me some quick advice please? I have Legacy 7 deluxe on my PC but when I try to compare two databases - using the split screen facility - the two databases seem to become corrupt, or perhaps I am entering detail into the wrong one but I don't think I am. I wonder if it is possible to download Legacy 7 to my husband's laptop, enter the deluxe number and then have two different databases open on the two computers side by side when comparing will be easier. Having said this, I now realise that perhaps it won't then be easy to copy detail from one to the other but I could then tag people that need amendment in the master database and tag those individuals in the other that are missing from the master. I will still have to do the merge though... Has anyone experience of merging databases or copying information from one to the other, without corrupting either or both?

RE: [LegacyUG] Multiusers
Joseph, In short, No. Legacy is an Access based database for the storage of genealogical data. It also has the facilities for publishing that data in both hard copy and web format (html). What you are looking for seems to be a form of Wiki, or an editable Web site (by approved persons presumably). I would initially advise caution otherwise you will end up with a mess. I recommend that all changes must be approved ie. someone decides albeit yourself or one of your relatives. I do not know of an off the shelf program for this - I haven't looked - if I wanted one I would write the web scripts myself, but you may find something on Google. I have just thought, I think Genes Reunited in the UK allows multiple edit facilities and can be populated initially using a Gedcom. I would still recommend approval for changes (even if it is a joint decision - remember a camel is a horse designed by a committee though) and your individual databases for storage; if I didn't think Legacy was the best on the market for this I wouldn't use it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template for Book Question
Oh, Wynther, such a can of worms you open. :-) We have widely divergent views on this list, as you know. I would never import any data into my database - only what I enter by hand goes in there, and I not only look at the other researcher's sources, I go to the original source, when possible, to assess it myself. I loved it when _EE_ came out because it simplified my life - instead of thinking so hard and working it out on my own, I suddenly had this great go-to guide. Others, of course, feel the opposite - that _EE_ creates unnecessary busy-work. For me there is no point in doing the work, if I don't leave a really good trail.

Lundy, what you want is The Next Generation (TNG) software ([LINK: http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php] http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php), which is a Web based Genealogy program that will do exactly what you want to do and it is only $30. There is also a free web program phpGenView ([LINK: http://www.phpgedview.net/] http://www.phpgedview.net/) but does not have near the control you get with TNG. Both programs use the MySQL database backend, which allows better data handling and control. I highly recommend TNG for it is hands down the best Web based Genealogy program out there. I use Legacy on the desktop and TNG on the Web and they work pretty well together. You can access my web site at [LINK: http://www.overtonmedia.com/netgen/index.php] www.overtonmedia.com/netgen/index.php. There are about 7 different frontends that you can setup with TNG and you can see those in the demo of TNG at their site.

[LegacyUG] Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template for Book Question
Wynthner, my answers 1. The first one is hard to say since none have come back and stated the source was wrong. 2. Depending on how I read your question determines the answer. If I receive data with sources, I do my best to validate those sources but sometimes it is just not possible as some is captured from the courthouse and I don't have access or the money to go there an validate that they wrote it accurately. When practical I ask for an image of either the source record or their notes. If I receive a GEDCOM file with no sources and depending on the person who gave it to is whether I trust the information. Even then I use it as just leads that I begin researching from and try to falidated it myself. 3. I agree to a point with your last statement. Genealogy is not an exact science and therefore we work with a lot of dirty data, that is data that is second hand or even third hand and a lot of it is misinformation. Take the Census for example. The Census records stored at the US Archives for example is not the orginial Census record recorded by the Census taker but a copy and sometimes a copy of the orginial and that is why there is a lot of errors in the records and that does not take in consideration the errors from the orginial Census taker recording the wrong information. So even if someone provides source information it does not mean it is right. I have found many mistakes in books that were well sourced but their logic was flawed or the facts they had at the time was limited and led to the wrong assumptions.

Re: [LegacyUG] using two computers
Yes - both databases are Legacy 7 ones. I had my own family file and found a professional genealogist had gone considerably further back in the family (all meticulously sourced) than I had. I have gedcoms of various branches from the other person, which I have tried to merge with my own. This is where things went wrong. I now have the situation where I have my own database which has had recent births and deaths added (within the last month) but with only some of the new material. There is duplication in the small gedcom files I've downloaded (where they overlap) and I am finding it unmanageable to merge the new material in. I fear that if I go back a long way to start again from a previous version of my family file, even if I get all the new stuff (from the gedcoms) in successfully, I will then have lost the latest data entered within the last six months. Intellimerge went completely haywire when I last tried to import something, so now, apart from re-typing all information, including the myriad of sources for each piece of data, I am stuck as to know how to proceed. Any advice welcome.

RE: [LegacyUG] Error Generating Web Pages With Legacy 7
Before we really start changing stuff can I suggest that you have a look at InternetCreate Web PagesFormatting to ensure that create the surname index is still checked. Try FileFile MaintenanceCheck/Repair. After the first run make any changes suggested then run it again. See if that works. If not shut down your PC leave for 10 minutes and try creating the pages again. If that doesn't do it make a note of all your web settings and reset (bottom right button). Failing that go to C:/Legacy and delete Web.usr and try again. This is assumes that you are using Create web pages and not printing a report in html. Nor do you state which type of web pages you are using. If the above doesn't wotk then it may be helpful to know.

RE: [LegacyUG] Error Generating Web Pages With Legacy 7
Thanks for your quick response. I tried a couple of your simpler suggestions (the Check/Repair maintenance feature and also the Compact Family File) first. Neither corrected the problem. Before trying any of the more complicated suggestions (cold starting the computer, resetting the Web Page Creation option, et al), I did something I probably should have done first (but I guess I was just too stubborn). I just closed the Legacy program and opened it again. That did it. Simple. Duh! Thanks again for your help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of ronald ferguson ronfergy-at-msn.com |Legacy Mailing List| Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 12:18 PM To: ...

Try FileFile MaintenanceCheck/Repair. After the first run make any changes suggested then run it again. See if that works. If not shut down your PC leave for 10 minutes and try creating the pages again. If that doesn't do it make a note of all your web settings and reset (bottom right button). Failing that go to C:/Legacy and delete Web.usr and try again. This is assumes that you are using Create web pages and not printing a report in html.

[LegacyUG] Citing a Source multiple times
Citing a source multiple times (with different detail) to the same event (e.g. birth) seems to act differently with version 7 than it did with prior versions. Have others noticed this or might I have missed a setting somewhere. Example: I have SourceA (book) that gives birth information on two different pages. I add the source with Detail - page 1, and then again with Detail - page 2. It used to show up as two sources, one with detail page 1 and the other with detail page 2.

Dave: I understand what you are trying to say. I too use a book to source different information on various pages. You are right, version 6 use to show, for example the birth source in Jefferson County History and Atlas and the detail page xx and then the death would be sourced as Ibid, page yy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source multiple times
It does use Ibid. when you tick to do so on the OptionsCustomizeSources. However, you may be using the new Source Writer and there are some problems with citations of that which I believe are being corrected in the next update. For most reports, the Basic Source system does not present the problem of failing to cite different detail for a repeated source on a subsequent fact. What you have described as multiple sources for different facts is not what Dave was asking. He was asking if you have a source that gives the birth information on two different pages why you couldn't have two citations of the same source with different detail.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source multiple times
The citation format (meaning presentation in reports) should have nothing to do with whether you should be permitted to enter the source more than once (with different detail). The reporting mechanism, when it encounters this situation, should handle it at that time (i.e. throw one away if it deems necessary in order to follow somebody's rules). -- Dennis Kowallek Genealogy Website Custom Programming http://consulting.kowallekfamily.com/ *** On Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:23:39 -0800, Dave Keeney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess they only 'fixed' it in the source writer templates. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Richardson Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 5:17 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source multiple times I think the programmers corrected an error.

[LegacyUG] FYI about family group sheet on 7.0.0.76
I just downloaded the newest update 7.0.0.76, and almost went crazy b/c Legacy was combining all my sources for a single event into a single footnote on a family group sheet. However, when I went to the Sources tab on the Report Options screen, I noticed there was a new option called If an event has multiple citations, combine them into a single paragraph. There is a checkbox next to the option that is defaulted with a checkmark. Therefore, if you are like me, and do not like this combining of sources for an event, then don't forget to uncheck the box.
