RE: [LegacyUG] order of names
Randolph: I suspect your correspondent has misinterpreted something somewhere along the line. The sequence you describe would be extremely confusing and is not at all common in the US. Kirsten -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Randolph Clark Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 2:34 PM To: legacyusergroup Subject: [LegacyUG] order of names In what I viewed as trying to be helpful I fired off a quick note to an Ancestry.com poster to let her know that she had reversed portions of my cousins name. Below is part of her response: The order of the names has to do with the Ancestry suggestion that runs throughout my extensive trees and is common in the US. The important for genealogy reasons maiden name is placed at the end and any married last names placed after the first name. Has anyone ever heard of this?

You have a confusion between a Gedcom and .fdb file, nor have you said how you got a Gedcom into the Laptop - if it is not on the DVD then how was it done? If it was a Gedcom then this could well be how you lost the notes. There are two main ways you can get the files onto your Laptop, either via a CD/DVD or USB stick. You say that the DVD only has zip files on it, but do don't the file names mean anything to you ie Filename.zip? You should be able to tell if they are your Legacy backup from the file name. If you have more than one then can you tell which is the latest? Did you have more than one family file? One way of telling the latest is to put the DVD into The Laptop drive and right click on each file, select properties and look at the date. To see what is in it you could right click on it and Extract to a convenient folder (just creat one somewhere and delete it when you've finished) If you have only used Legacy to put the files onto the DVD then they must be back up files. and you need to drag the latest into the Legacy Data Folder on your laptop and use FileFile restore, as previously described to open it in Legacy. If you still have Legacy running on your PC then as a last resort you could create a backup(s) of your family files, giving it a name which is clear, copy this .zip file to a CD/DVD/USB and drag that into the C:\Legacy\Data folder on your laptop. I would not consider using a Gedcom. I hope that will get you going.

[LegacyUG] Can Genealogy Web Sites Make it Easier to Cite Sources?
Dear Fellow LUG readers, I read this interesting article this morning and realized that I would love to have this feature as described in the article and the video. However, I wonder how conceivable it would be to get web sites like Ancestry, FamilySearch and others to agree to standardize their source citations. Of course, how this would work on personal web sites or USGenWeb sites was not mentioned. Only some commercial web sites were discussed. Article: Can Genealogy Web Sites Make it Easier to Cite Sources? http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/insider/Can+Genealogy+Web+Sites+Make+It+Easier+To+Cite+Sources.aspx Right now, I spend time on including detailed source citations every time I place a piece of data into my Legacy databases. My main rule of thumb is one that I had leaned some years ago as an internal auditor, namely, be sure that whoever reads your source citation can use it alone to lead them back to the original documentation. Because I have trained myself to do this, I don't consider citing sources to be difficult but I know other genealogists who do. Of course, Legacy has two ways to cite sources which might be an issue if web sites were ever to adopt this premise of Mark Tucker. However, Tucker doesn't seem to think this would be a problem as he mentioned that Legacy v7 would be able to accept a download of a standard source citation today, if this feature were available on web sites. As I found this such an interesting idea, I thought that I would pass the web link along to you LUG readers. What do you think?

Re: [LegacyUG] Can Genealogy Web Sites Make it Easier to Cite Sources? (off-topic?)
I realize that the Legacy people may feel this is an off-topic discussion, but I'll make this one posting and leave it at that. Of course, it would be wonderful to have this feature ... But in the meantime, take a look at the browser addon at www.zotero.org ... this is a mechanism for citing references automatically ... it's university and library and foundation sponsored and addresses the citation problem over a broad range of sources ... I'm only beginning to understand its power and usefulness ... you can add notes and tags and snapshots and search your collected data ... it works with the Ancestry and FamilySearch and FootNotes websites, even if somewhat minimally.

Hi, I'm trying to cite a 1930 census from Footnote.com and have a question or two. In Legacy 7, using the Source Writer, I select the appropriate census and it asks to fill in several blanks -- one of which is Publish Date and it says something along the lines of date posted, updated, or copyrighted. Now, when I've gotten a census from Ancestry.com, in the source information gives a date of when it was uploaded. I didn't see the date in Footnote.com when they uploaded the 1930 census.

I don't know *why* you feel the need to have a Relationship Event, but obviously you do and of course you are quite free to do so and if you are doing so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have two Relationship Events, one for Aunt (by adoption) and one for 1st Cousin once removed (by marriage). Or, have one Relationship Event which specifies both relationships. I can't see any need to unlink this person from your father's family and I can't see any point in doing so. She *is* related to you, albeit both by adoption and by marriage. Granted there can be no *blood* relationship between you, but it would be misrepresenting your family's Family History (as distinct from their Genealogy) if you do not show her relationship to your father. -- Jenny M Benson 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] Relationship
Jenny, to answer your comment you don't know why I need a Relationship Event, the reason is when I create a report, such as a Descendent Report, and there are many persons in the book, it is nice to show how I or anyone I'm creating the report for is related to each person, be they grandparents, great uncles, cousins, etc. Just to show names and not how they are related to the person the Report is created for doesn't mean anything, at least not to me. Thank you for the response and suggestion, though.

I don't know *why* you feel the need to have a Relationship Event, but obviously you do and of course you are quite free to do so and if you are doing so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have two Relationship Events, one for Aunt (by adoption) and one for 1st Cousin once removed (by marriage). Or, have one Relationship Event which specifies both relationships. I can't see any need to unlink this person from your father's family and I can't see any point in doing so. She *is* related to you, albeit both by adoption and by marriage. Granted there can be no *blood* relationship between you, but it would be misrepresenting your family's Family History (as distinct from their Genealogy) if you do not show her relationship to your father. -- Jenny M Benson 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 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] Fw: Merging two files
Your task is quite easy if the second file was originally a Legacy copy of the first file meaning that both files have individuals in them with the same intellishare values. If this is not the case then the merge will not be as simple but will still work. 1) Merge the new file into the old file and allow the RINs to be re-numbered to a range above what is already in the old file. If the highest RIN in the old file is 17,540 then you might make the new file start with 20,000 or something higher. Also make the MRINs start with a high value as they are merged. 2) Execute the intellishare merge and any other merges to combine the records. Note as you work that the old file RIN numbers are from 1 to 17540 while the new records will be 20,000 and above. That makes it easy to identify which file each record is coming from. 3) After completing all merges, then look at the name list sorted by RIN to see those records which were in the new file because they will still be numbered above 20,000. You could search for them by RIN number as well and produce whatever printouts might prove useful. I recently helped a woman who had worked on several different copies of her file and lost track of which was the most recent. We dumped all the files into one database and merged the entire lot. Then, it was obvious by the RIN numbers which had been assigned during the merge which records had come from which contributing file. Happy merging. Hope this will help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: Merging two files
Having had similar problems in the past. Merging the two would help but may take weeks to finish the not matchers. It could be better to run 2 name lists and save them each to your 'word' type program, so you need not print anything, and compare them against each other to see which RINS are missing. There may be as many as 800 missing from one or the other. OR, print both, take pencil to each list and cross off matches. Hope this helps.

RE: [LegacyUG] Fw: Merging two files
I think an Intellishare merge may well work, but suspect it may take ages. I was thinking that it may be faster to see which RINs are in each, then compare the two lists to find which are only in the original. This of course, would only work if the RINs have not been changed. I note that Ron says that unspecified changes have been made to the new file.
