[LegacyUG] Need help: duplicated parents!
I have got myself into a pickle. I was adding two generations onto my husband's paternal line, when really I needed to be adding three. Because the name James is used so many times, I messed up. Okay, I cannot tell you exactly what I did, but I discovered I had left out a generation. So, I unlinked the (previously) oldest ancestor from the newly-entered parents & siblings. Then I entered in the missing father, except that he needed to be part of that list of siblings, so when I added HIS father & mother I clickec on "link to existing" to get him inserted. Well, NOW I have two sets of identically named parents for those siblings. One set are the parents of the James I forgot to enter, and the other set are the parents of the rest of his siblings. They show up as "(1/2)" with their mother's name and everything! Is there some "combine duplicates" thing I could run? Or should I just delete and start entering again? Thanks! --Paula 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] Citing Questionnaires
Just today I was pondering a similar question. I have been using sources that I title "Personal Knowledge - ", because they really are the source of the information. In the detail citation I had been putting things like "email dated..." or "interview " or "phone call ". This way, the source that prints is the person's name (these are exclusively close relatives of mine or my husband's). I had been defaulting to have the detail citation print; however, today I decided to NOT check that box on this type of source. On reports it will just show the name of the person who gave me the information. If I really need to know when & where, I can look it up in the database. All my "Personal Knowledge" sources are Basic, but I'm pretty sure you could do it in SW, too. After reading some comments here, I have been taking a second look at how far my detail-oriented self has taken me in this sourcing exercise! And I've decided to simplify my approach, knowing that my database is mainly for me and my descendents.. not publication.

Re: [LegacyUG] Saved searches
I am replying to Ron because the OP did not post in plain text per the LUG guidelines... *** If you look at line 38 of the .sc0 file you will see a number. This number apparently corresponds to the index of the selected item in the "Where to look" combo box. Because several new items were inserted near the top of the combo box for V7, the number in the V6 .sc0 file points to the incorrect item when used in V7. Probably not a "bug", just poor design. It should be reported to support for them to consider fixing before more items get added to the combo box in a future release. In the short term, I think you are stuck rebuilding your saved searches. Keep in mind that these saved searches could get broken again the next time Millennia inserts a new item in the combo box unless they do something to fix the underlying cause. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools *** On Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:59:24 +0100, ronald ferguson wrote: >> From: bo...@vodafone.net.nz >> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com >> Subject: [LegacyUG] Saved searches >> Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:29:37 +1200 >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Over the last few years I have created and saved a number of searches set up >> from Search>Find>Detailed screen.
