Re: [LegacyUG] Pocket Genealogist vs. GedStar Pro
It will work on the Pre using Classic ( http://www.motionapps.com/classic/overview/ ) but obviously that's not really the ideal way of using it... You could even run it on Windows Mobile using StyleTap, but that's probably a bit over the top :) 2009/8/12 Kim Austin : > I sent an email to gedstar to see if the program would would work on my Palm > Pre and this is the answer I received: > > ** Sorry, no.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pocket Genealogist vs. GedStar Pro
I agree with you about the netbook. I have the Samsung and it is so wonderfully portable and has 9 hours of battery life, so it works great for taking to libraries or anywhere. I use Gedwise to refer to when there is something I don't recall about my data, but for taking down information, a netbook is working out very well.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pocket Genealogist vs. GedStar Pro
Must admit that I used to use PG, but since getting a 10" netbook I've been tending to use that in preference (though the annoying keyboard on my X1 phone probably doesn't help much) 2009/8/12 Connie Sheets : > > Dede, > > I realize this isn't exactly what you're asking, but as someone who finds all > PDA-type devices too small (and too expensive when the higher cell phone > access fees are considered), laptops too big, and thinks a cell-phone should > be used for phone calls, I have been quite happy with my new "netbook." > > It is inexpensive, lightweight, fits easily in my bag or large purse, has a > reputed 9 hour battery life (and comes close in actual practice), and I can > touch-type on it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Batch enter event
1familytree wrote I searched the archive but could not find a reference to batch creation of an event for a selection of individuals (I.e. create an event called "tombstone" for all persons tagged #9, date = after "death date" (take death sort date and change prefix 00 to 40 and update burial sort date ) place = "Cemetery name". I thought I remembered seeing a request like this before but I couldn't find it in the archives. Any help to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. I think the best you can do would be to create a search list of all the people you wanted, create the Event for one of them and then use the Event Clipboard to copy and paste (with amendment where necessary) to everyone else in the search list. -- 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] Access Table
I do not have the original GEDCOM since this occurred some time ago. I think I will just wade through the 800+ Files, change the current filing and try to remember this incident when I next utilize a GEDCOM. Live and learn. Dennis - I realize that MRIN's do not have dashes in them, but this is one of those file systems encountered some time ago that utilizes the method I tried to describe.
