Just Add a son or Add a daughter - it doesn't matter which - in the 
usual way and when the Individual's Information screen opens select the 
radio button for ? instead of M or F.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source citation for a telephone call

2009-04-22 Thread Brian Beddor
Hi Rich,

I had thought of using audio interview as a source -- however it seems
to be expecting a physical audio recording.  For example, it asks about
type of medium and the option is privately held.  Then it asks about
the current owner and the format (for example, audio tape) and the
year the recording is owned, etc.  So it would take a bit of twisting to
make that fit. 

For now I think I'm going to go with Church Record and put in the
notes that the information came from a phone conversation and that I
don't have the physical record.

Thanks for your suggestion -- I appreciate it,
Brian

 Hi,
 What is the best way to do a source citation for
 information gotten from
 a telephone call?  In this case I called the Church where
 my grandfather
 was married and someone read to me his baptismal date and
 where he was
 baptized.  I looked at using Interview as a
 source but the options
 were for audio/video or transcript.  I don't have a
 transcript or
 anything -- just a couple of notes. I have the person's
 name, the name
 of the Church and phone number. 
 
 Thanks for the help,
 Brian

2009-04-22 Thread Richard Van Wasshnova
Bob, I don't think anyone posting to this thread was upset. I thought
Dennis was expecting someone might complain that the subject is not
strictly about Legacy since you can't see the tables directly in
Legacy.

The IDIME heading in TblSX was always very confusing to me (What does
it have todo with a 10 cent coin?). Dennis' calling it ID of
Individual, marriage, event was very enlightening enough to make it
worth reading the whole thread.

I posted this to my website today to help explain how to use the IDIME
and Type columns of tblSX. I figured these out by sourcing everything I

but I think it is close enough for government work.

[LegacyUG] Export to GED, Import Ged back to Legacy. Drawbacks?

2009-04-22 Thread Richard Van Wasshnova
I know there is much to lose in exporting to GED and then re-importing
to a new Legacy file:
1. Everyone is marked as imported.
2. Modified date is reset.

I know there are other, more serious losses but I can't recall just
what they are. Can anyone add to the list please?

I am considering a rollback from vers 7.0.0.90 to vers 7.0.0.40 which is on CD.

Both Access and Itools will open Legacy files of either version. Could
either do a rollback?

No. They have no way of knowing what changed. Besides database structure
changes, the upgrade process may have changed values in some fields. I
remember several years ago one new release repopulated various *SDate
fields because the programmers changed the algorithm they used to
compute sorted dates.

If all that was done was add new database columns (big if), then one
might be able to use Access to muck with the database and manually undo
the changes. I would play around with GEDCOMs before trying it. Make the
GEDCOM for Legacy and make sure all export options are checked/unchecked
so everything possible gets exported.

Several months ago someone on the list had to GEDCOM export/import.
Maybe she'll chime in and offer her thoughts.

I cannot add to your list, but why (apart from the fact that you have a CD) are 
you considering rolling back to 7.0.0.40 with all its bugs, particularly with

Thank you for reminding me, I had forgotten that Rich cannot roll back to 
version 7.0.0.40 and expect to read his files, as since that version there have 
been structural changes in the DB.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source citation for a telephone call

2009-04-22 Thread George Holmes
Brian, 
From what you said previously you do have a physical record of the
telephone. This would be the notes you took while you were on the phone with
your interview.
Your notes are a transcript of what was said. That is why if you want to you
could put as privately held because you hold the notes that you took.

Just my two cents.

Re: [LegacyUG] order of names

2009-04-22 Thread Chick Lewis
I am not sure I understand what you are saying either, but yes
Randolph, this is a common practice in Spanish/Portuguese convention,
and some other cultures as well. Children were commonly given two
surnames, one from each parent. The middle name (1st surname) comes
from the father's name (apellido paterno), and the last name (2nd
surname) is the mother's maiden name (apellido materno).  For example:
Mozes son of Joseph PEREIRA and Abigail MENDOZA will appear as Mozes
PEREIRA MENDOZA.  Should Mozes PEREIRA MENDOZA marry Sarah LOPES
SALZEDO, their son's name would be recorded as Gabriel PEREIRA
SALZEDO.  Sometimes these two surnames are reversed - first the
mother's surname, and then the father's surname. Effectively the
surname can change with every generation.  It would appear that when
families left Spain and Portugal, in accordance with local laws and
conventions in the rest of Europe, they kept a single continuing
surname giving rise to the vast number of LOPES SALZEDO and NUNES
NABARRO records.

 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?
