Re: [LegacyUG] Unwanted sentence in reports

[Evert van Dijken]

Yes, that's the option I wrote about in my second mail, don't forget
to click the Apply button because if you don't click Apply the
existing married names will stay in your family file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Children's Surname

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to include children's 
surnames when making a "Descendant Narrative" report. I have a 
situation where a couple lived together in a De facto relationship and 
their children have their mother's surname. The "Descendant Narrative" 
report only gives the children's Christian names from the relationship. 
I want to be able to show the fact that the children carry their 
mother's surname. One can not tell from the report what the correct 
surnames should be.


When I create a Descendant Narrative report it *does* display the 
surnames of the children!


In brief, it reads "John Smith was born  John married Jane Brown 
 They had ten children Richard, Mary, Joseph ...Richard Smith was 
born    Mary Smith was born ." etc.


In your case, it would be "Richard Brown was born " and so on.

They are included in some web pages, just not *ALL* web pages. I believe
Ron exclusively produces pedigree style web pages, which do not include
them. I have been able to get them on family group style web pages ...
at least in V6.

You are correct Dennis, in saying that I was referring to Pedigree Web pages. 
My tiscali site is actually a Family Group site, but since I don't have 
anything in the Address Book I haven't looked at using them it for Family 
Group, or any other style of Web Page for that matter :-)

[LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[Russ McGillivray]

How would you represent a "Best Fit" set of parents? This concerns a direct
ancestor from a small island in Scotland (Islay). The available records have
gaps such that his parents will likely never be known; but there is one
family that stands out as a "best fit" in terms of locations, dates, names,
etc. I want to include this next generation of parents (and include research
into their other children's descent) but make it clear that this is only a
best guess. (In particular, this assumes my ancestor was born on Islay and
did not come to Islay from somewhere else.)

Do you use the Children's Settings for this and add a new setting such as
"Tentative"? This is not quite right - I want to represent that these
parent's son Donald (who is not tentative) is the best fit for "my" Donald.

RE: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

[CE Wood]

Agreed - even if you're not having funBut here, I think that the
assumption is that if we can enter something, we assume that the information
can be printed somehow.

We can enter Event Address notes, and we can enter notes for Master
Locations on the Add/Edit Location screen, but those notes can be accessed
ONLY on the computer.  I can understand not wanting to ALWAYS print those
notes, but it would be nice to have the option to include them in a report.
Some of these places have interesting histories, but I can't print them out
anywhere!

[LegacyUG] Files saving automatically

[Kim Austin]

I just lost information that I entered in Legacy 7.

I entered some impute into my database and than clicked file, open new
file.  I checked on some information and than closed the new file.  I than
came back to the original file and all the new information that I entered
earlier was gone.  OOPS

I never had a problem before doing this, so my question is: Is this a bug or
did I just goofed up?

Kim

RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[ronald ferguson]

Russ,
 
I record them as a separate family with a note on each family to show how they 
may be connected. Actually Islay is so small that all families with the same 
name are probably connected.
 
Come to think about they are probably all related :-) Or were years ago

[LegacyUG] Landscape Pedigree charts

[Anne Picketts]

Is there a trick to using landscape printing in Pedigree Charts?
I have been through all the printer properties, printer setup menus that I
can find (software and printer), but the orientation will still only read
'portrait' - the 'landscape is greyed out' in the page set-up.  (Using
Legacy 7 Deluxe edition)

Hi Anne,

Try using the Books/Other>Publishing Center>Pedigree Chart. Once in the
Pedigree chart dialog, go to the Options tab and select page setup and you
should be good to go.

Hope this helps

So, there *was* a trick to it!  I would never have thought something that
should be so easy ended up being so simply complicated  Thank you very

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[John Roose]

Russ -

What I do is enter the family and use a "?" in the "Title prefix" box,
explaining it in Research Notes. I do it this way to keep the family
together without having to remember that I have their info somewhere else.
It also "flags" the fact that there is a broken or unconfirmed link.
Enhancement suggestions have been made on this point before.

Since I work mostly from the Family tab it is readily apparent.

Genealogy - - - - - it's in my blood!

RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[Jan Roberts]

I have a similar situation on my paternal grandfather's line.  He was,
according to family story, sent to an orphanage by his father after his
mother died in childbirth.  I have found a family of children admitted to an
orphanage in the right time frame, with siblings with same names etc.
admitted by their father after mother died.  I will probably never prove
that this is the correct family, but I have included them as "best fit" with
a note  for both the father and mother to say that they have not been proved
to be the parents of "my" (proven) John Joseph, but that they are definitely
the parents of the children admitted to the orphanage  This note prints in
all reports so there is no confusion.

Cheers
Jan

RE: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

[ronald ferguson]

Carolyn,
 
As you will realise, I don't use the Notes fields for Locations (and obviously 
for Addresses). However, each Location is attached to an Event and each Event 
has a Note field into which I put everything I wish to put about the location.
 
For example my grandfather fought in WW1 and saw action from Ypres in Belgium 
to Framville in France where he was wounded. I do not know where his regiment 
was exactly at any one time, so in the Location field I have put "Europe" and 
in the Notes put all the battles in which he fought during the 12 months he was 
out there.

My serious point is that I am a pragmatist and utilise the tools available to 
do what *I* want and if one way won't then I will find another. Why one way 
doesn't is not really my concern, unless, of course one is then left with no 
alternative, in which case it becomes a problem.
 
BTW just out of interest where would you like the Location/Address notes to 
print in Reports?

Re: [LegacyUG]

[Ward Walker]

Ron,

Sorry for the late reply. I was away.

The short answer is no. I had not checked that checkbox option, so the 
export broke lines in mid-word, as expected. For most types of GEDCOM 
records, the import properly reconstructed those broken words. For the 
'PAGE' record type, the import improperly inserted a space.


Thanks for pointing this out, though. I imagine that there is no harm in 
choosing the 'old style' export, which works around the import bug (in case 
other software products have the same bug). I wonder why it is old style, 
and why it is not the default? The difference in file size is trivial.

The extra space appears to be a bug on the import, not on the export. When 
a
GEDCOM 'PAGE' record is long enough to have a continuation record, Legacy 
is

not concatenating the 2 lines properly, introducing a space. Here are the
GEDCOM lines corresponding to my previous example, where the word 'family'
became 'fami ly' in the imported source detail.

Other concatenations are working correctly, such as for the 'NOTE' field.

Ross,

This is what I was getting at in my (admittedly long-winded) posts titled
"Incomplete Export of Source Details" last week. The source detail info
from the first tab all gets strung together into one field in the GEDCOM.
Upon re-import, Legacy probably has no choice but to create a Basic style
source from it. The effect is that some citations will read quite
differently, as I showed in my example.

As for the extra spaces, I didn't look closely at the pattern, but I do
recall noticing some unwanted spaces at the time. In fact, my example
shows the word "family" broken in two.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[Eliz Hanebury]

I have my McNeills of the Cape Fear river colony as "I think this is
where he fits" and "perhaps", my Ancestor was the High Sheriff of
Moore Co NC and there are 5 similar Daniels in the area and ONE cousin
names the parents with a son Daniel McNeill  Sheriff so we are playing
with a grandparent (maybe) and that persons son.

I lets me know what is going on and should alert anyone who sees it
that I am not at all sure. I went thru all the county deeds which
survived the 1890 fire and found quite a few which were rerecorded 
but only in his capacity as Sheriff

Ward,
 
Notwithstanding my comments in earlier posts I have wondered the same myself, 
it would seem sensible to me for not to break in mid-word to be the default. I 
have never got round to suggesting this, but as I always check the box it would 
remove the chance of me forgetting!

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

[Linda McCauley]

Carolyn,
Master Location notes actually can be printed. If you create a
location index in reports there is an option to include the location
notes in that index. They can also be included in the Location Report.
That said, I only use the location notes field for things like
directions to cemeteries or a family property or to indicate that the
map pinpoint is an approximate location. If I have information about a
location that I want included as part of a person's story, I do as Ron
does and put them in event notes as I subscribe to the same policy of
using the tools available to get the result I want regardless of how
they were intended.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[Marlene Williamson]

I add a new child status called "Perhaps" and attach it to the child in
question. This then appears on the Family screen and lets me know
immediately that there is some doubt. For marriages I do the same thing -
make a Status entry of Perhaps, or Probable, which also appears on the
family screen. I then put any supporting notes into the Research area for
the individual or for the marriage.

RE: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

[CE Wood]

Ron,

Somewhere - could be a footnote or in parentheses after the location.  An
option, so that when I create reports and want the details I have worked so
laboriously on, I can have them.

For instance:
1.  Master Location:  Battle of Arkinholm, Langholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland

Notes:  George, 4th Earl of Angus led the King's Army against his kinsman,
James, 9th Earl of Douglas, at the Battle of Arkinholm in 1455.  The result
was the end of the Black Douglases.  After the battle an Act of Parliament
gave Angus the lordship of Douglas with the original possessions of his
ancestors in Douglasdale.

2.  Master Location:  Thrace

Notes:  Ancient and modern region on the eastern Balkan Peninsula;
historically its borders have varied.  Early Thracians were related to the
Illyrians.  The area was annexed by Vespasian in the 1st century, invaded by
Goths, Huns and others, fell to Turks in 1361, and is now divided between
Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria.


When creating reports for those interested in the history of abbeys,
battles, towns, no longer existent countries, et alia, I would like to have
a way to impart that research.  It doesn't really belong in the Event notes.
If there, and I want to not include it in a report, I would have to not
include ALL notes.  Event notes are also not the place in Legacy to put that
information.  It is relevant to the Location or Address, not to the Event.

Why have notes of any sort that cannot be reported/printed?

Carolyn,
 
As you will realise, I don't use the Notes fields for Locations (and
obviously for Addresses). However, each Location is attached to an Event and
each Event has a Note field into which I put everything I wish to put about
the location.
 
For example my grandfather fought in WW1 and saw action from Ypres in
Belgium to Framville in France where he was wounded. I do not know where his
regiment was exactly at any one time, so in the Location field I have put
"Europe" and in the Notes put all the battles in which he fought during the
12 months he was out there.

My serious point is that I am a pragmatist and utilise the tools available
to do what *I* want and if one way won't then I will find another. Why one
way doesn't is not really my concern, unless, of course one is then left
with no alternative, in which case it becomes a problem.
 
BTW just out of interest where would you like the Location/Address notes to
print in Reports?

I add a new child status called "Perhaps" and attach it to the child in
question. This then appears on the Family screen and lets me know
immediately that there is some doubt. For marriages I do the same thing -
make a Status entry of Perhaps, or Probable, which also appears on the
family screen. I then put any supporting notes into the Research area for
the individual or for the marriage.

Russ -
 
What I do is enter the family and use a "?" in the "Title prefix" box,
explaining it in Research Notes. I do it this way to keep the family
together without having to remember that I have their info somewhere else.
It also "flags" the fact that there is a broken or unconfirmed link.
Enhancement suggestions have been made on this point before.
 
Since I work mostly from the Family tab it is readily apparent.

How would you represent a "Best Fit" set of parents? This concerns a direct
ancestor from a small island in Scotland (Islay). The available records have
gaps such that his parents will likely never be known; but there is one
family that stands out as a "best fit" in terms of locations, dates, names,
etc. I want to include this next generation of parents (and include research
into their other children's descent) but make it clear that this is only a
best guess. (In particular, this assumes my ancestor was born on Islay and
did not come to Islay from somewhere else.)

Do you use the Children's Settings for this and add a new setting such as
"Tentative"? This is not quite right - I want to represent that these
parent's son Donald (who is not tentative) is the best fit for "my" Donald.

RE: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

[CE Wood]

Linda,

Thanks for the tip!  Doesn't do much for Event Addresses, however, which is
where I put cemeteries, directions, etc.

Carolyn,
Master Location notes actually can be printed. If you create a
location index in reports there is an option to include the location
notes in that index. They can also be included in the Location Report.
That said, I only use the location notes field for things like
directions to cemeteries or a family property or to indicate that the
map pinpoint is an approximate location. If I have information about a
location that I want included as part of a person's story, I do as Ron
does and put them in event notes as I subscribe to the same policy of
using the tools available to get the result I want regardless of how
they were intended.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor

[Gary Templeman]

So how do we define "proof" anyway? I have seen birth certificates that are 
wrong, etc. Generally what we have is a preponderance of evidence. In the 
case below, assuming there are multiple siblings who match the correct 
names, ages and birth order, what you have is multiple data points all in 
agreement. That is no different than a fingerprint analysis. Eventually 
there are enough bits of data that the statistical odds of it being someone 
else is almost non-existent.

I have a similar situation on my paternal grandfather's line.  He was,
according to family story, sent to an orphanage by his father after his
mother died in childbirth.  I have found a family of children admitted to 
an

orphanage in the right time frame, with siblings with same names etc.
admitted by their father after mother died.  I will probably never prove
that this is the correct family, but I have included them as "best fit" 
with
a note  for both the father and mother to say that they have not been 
proved
to be the parents of "my" (proven) John Joseph, but that they are 
definitely

the parents of the children admitted to the orphanage  This note prints in
all reports so there is no confusion.

Cheers
Jan
