RE: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses
Ron, Good point! ;) I'm just worried I might be missing something wonderful because my experience or viewpoint is too narrow. --Paula --- On Mon, 7/6/09, ronald ferguson wrote: > > Paula, > > Now, that is a question which I never bother to ask myself > about any software!

RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor
How neat to have this thread crop up today! We are in a similar situation with my husband's link back from Pennsylvania 1750's to Campbeltown, Scotland (also a very small place). We can get to James b. 1753 in PA, plus two other men there aged to be this man's uncles, and we have C'town birth records that list siblings that include the the two men's names plus a James (which is a name used down through the family line here). Okay, so that may not yet be to what you would call a "great fit" but it is the "best" we have right now. Ryburn is not very common, and it seems almost all of them came from/through Campbeltown. At any rate, we are going with this hypothesis as we travel over there to visit C'town this summer! And I am glad to read about the various ways I could better record this link in my database. THANKS! --Paula --- On Mon, 7/6/09, Jan Roberts wrote: 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 -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of Russ McGillivray Sent: Tuesday, 7 July 2009 2:00 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.

[LegacyUG] Linking files in Picture Gallery
Hi, I have created many links to census pages in the picture gallery using 'files'. When clicking on these links, it displays the information in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, so far, so good. What I then did was to run msconfig to find out why my computer was taking so long to boot up. I disabled all the startup items that I thought was unnecessary for what I needed. Then going back into Legacy, I found the link to my census pages were disabled, so I re-enabled all the start-up items. I still cannot view the census pages!! Can knowledgeable person advise me so I can couple them back up? Please.

Kim - You are using gmail so you won't see it come up in your email until someone responds to it.

Kim, I believe that it is because you use Gmail. Your own message will not be sent to you.
