RE: [LegacyUG] Surety Levels (was: Source Defaults)
Dennis, I am trying to understand. Do you mean that you'd like a capability of setting, at each individual source level, the default surety which appears at the detail level of that particular source?

[LegacyUG] Research with Legacy
An earlier post got no response, so I will try again. I would like to use Legacy to input a group of people who have connections of various kinds to a family I am researching in Spotsylvania County Virginia. Perhaps they just live in the same county and own land adjoining my ancestor, or witness a will with the ancestor. Quite tenuous connections. I want to record them somewhere (other than handwritten notes, but I don't think I want to put them into my main family group project . If I put them in a separate, new project, can I then (upon finding a true connection) merge them with my main project? How do others of you handle research of these cluster groups or unrelated people who may or may not have any real connection to my ancestors? Jane Sarles
Re: [LegacyUG] Questions from a new user
1. How do I add a “blank” spouse, i.e., indicate that a person has a spouse when the name of the spouse is not known? When I attempt to add a spouse without a name I get the error message You must enter a name to save an individual. You can add the word Unknown to the name field [Legacy will tell you this is an error but you can override it]. If you are adding children to this marriage you will have no choice but to put the word unknown [or some other word] in the name field or it won't let you add children. To make Legacy accept your unknown without causing an error, what you can do is after you add the children you can delete the spouse and it will replace your unknown with the Legacy default unknown which it likes better, but you can only do this if there are children. 4. Is there a convention for entering a person’s primary name versus the AKA? For instance, my grandfather was born and baptized in Germany as Friedrich Carl Schwonke, but he was known in the USA for most of his life as Charles Schwonke. Which name should be the primary and which the AKA? You need to add the name that is on Friedrich's Geburtsurkunde or in his Stammbuch which will be Friedrich Carl Schwonke in the primary name field. Charles Schowonke should be added in the AKA field. michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Research with Legacy
Very easily! Hit ADD, then NEW UNLINKED INDIVIDUAL. You can add all kinds of unrelated people this way. You can add entire lines this way and then if you ever fnd a link to your main line, you just connect them. I do this with Perry Co, MS. I know that I am related to everyone in that county in some way shape or form though I might not know the connection right off. I will add the new person (and any persons that I know that are related to him/her). Then when I figure out the connection, I connect them. The way you connect a person is this... Let's say you have an unrelated person that you now know fits in as the son of parents you already have in your file.

The details of the paper, date, page, etc., I include in the Source Detail. I prefer a generic master source, although when I have the time I may segregate those from the New York Times, of which I now have several hundred.

Re: [LegacyUG] Questions from a new user
I disagree. a way to 'create' a blank husband is to work from the other direction. If needed, go to Add, new unrelated individual. Fill fields as normal. When done, for the person/child click on the 'mother' section, which will pop-up Add New mother with 2 choices Add a new person, or Link to an existing person. It creates an/a MRIN for with the wife, no male info, and the mother connected. No Unknown added. But the computer will auto-fill the screen with that only, but not printed reports.

Hi Carolyn, That helps - thanks! I have another one that is a little different. Have one couple (Dumas), the wife dies. The man remarries a woman (Fraizer) who has an existing child.

The other option is to use a quoted given name where you enter the forenames as Friedrich Carl Charles. There are Options for different ways to use quoted names in Reports and I prefer to set it so the report reads Friedrich Carl Schwonke was born ...

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted child
Hi Carolyn, Now I'm not sure what I did. But, if I go into the Name list and select the child and look in Family mode - and then look at the parent icon, it shows two sets of parents. The 1st set is the Dumas couple and the husband is marked as Step and the wife as Disproved. So, I guess that is OK. Then the 2nd set is the biological mother and unknown for the father. Both of these are marked as biological. So, I think it is working. When I look at the Dumas in Family mode it lists him as one of their children and doesn't have anything standing out that says he isn't their natural child. I have to look at the relationship to see that information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted child
If I'm understanding right, you have 3 marriages: Dumas1 (with deceased wife), Dumas2 (with Fraizer wife), and Fraizer (with unknown husband). I think you should have the child linked to the Dumas2 marriage (husband as step, wife as biological) and Fraizer marriage (husband and wife both as biological) but not to the Dumas1 marriage. Does that make sense? On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 10:11 PM, Brian Beddor bbed...@japsolson.com wrote: Hi Carolyn, Now I'm not sure what I did. But, if I go into the Name list and select the child and look in Family mode - and then look at the parent icon, it shows two sets of parents. The 1st set is the Dumas couple and the husband is marked as Step and the wife as Disproved. So, I guess that is OK. Then the 2nd set is the biological mother and unknown for the father. Both of these are marked as biological. So, I think it is working. When I look at the Dumas in Family mode it lists him as one of their children and doesn't have anything standing out that says he isn't their natural child. I have to look at the relationship to see that information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re Pedigree chart of Direct Line Ancestors

Thank you for any assisance. Kate To answer the last part of your question about the circular pedigree chart... Across the top menu in Legacy, choose Reports, then scroll down to Legacy Charting. This will open the Legacy Charting program. Choose the Full Fan report. I love this report for showing where the holes are. I've printed the pages, and taped them together to hang over my filing cabinet, so I can quickly see at a glance where my research ends. I do love the color coding, so I can tell which line I'm seeing. Hope this helps.
