You don't need to make an Event to record the name of the Church. On the 
Marriage Information screen, click on the house icon and enter the 
name (and address) of the Church there.

Re: [LegacyUG] The marriage tag - What is is good for?

[Robert Carneal USA]

In a recent post, you said:
In the deluxe versions of 6.0 and 7.0 everything else has the link to 
record an address, but not a marriage.

[End]

Try going here:
1. Open Family View
2. Click marriage bar that has information in it
3. The marriage window opens-- there are some icons fairly in the 
center, not far from the top. One of the icons is a 'house.' Click 
it. That opens the address window where you can enter the address 
where the marriage took place.


Will that work for you? (I may have misunderstood.)

Thanks.

Robert

[LegacyUG] marking people as not living

[Michele Lewis]

I just figured something out the hard way.  If you don't put a death date 
for someone it defaults to living even though their parents and children 
died in the 1700s!  The significance to his is when you upload your file 
with all living persons blocked out a lot of your file is blocked out that 
shouldn't be.  I am having to go through and find all these (I did it with a 
simple search, any body with no date of death that is marked living).

From the help file;

Advanced Set Living







There are several Legacy reports, plus web pages, where the privacy of 
anyone whose Living status is set to Yes is protected by suppressing all 
personal details.  When creating these reports, no information is 
included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertently left 
set as Living.




Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are 
manually entered.  The process is automatic if their death or burial 
information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than 
120 years ago.  If no birth, christening, death, or burial information 
is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to No.




It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals 
manually, but the task can become formidable when adding hundreds or 
thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import.  This 
is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy.  This option 
does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for 
people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years 
old.  When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their 
ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead.  Legacy then 
sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, 
regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates.


To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the 
number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control.


3. Click the Start button.  Legacy goes through your entire family file 
setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older 
than the you specified.  When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to 
see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO.  To 
view the list, click Yes.

[LegacyUG] PDF Manual Available?

[William H. Boswell]

Is there a PDF manual available online for Legacy 7?  I looked in all the
program folders and only found the help, but I prefer something that does
into more detail.

I am thinking more along the lines of the one that would be included with
the software, but has to be purchased.  Most software companies give you a
PDF reference manual for free and allow you to purchase the printed version.
Apparently this company doesn't do that.

Since I have converted all my data over to Legacy 7 Deluxe from Family Tree
Maker 2009, I have a lot of issues to clean up.  I find a user's manual
better than the in-program help because I can't seem to find what I'm
looking for.

That is not so. It will look at ancestors and descendants and decide if they

As the help file indicates, Legacy will use information from relatives 
to help determine dead or living status.  You must do the above to have 
Legacy scan your file and correct the flags.  In the help file search

Bill,

Legacy has never had a free PDF manual.  If you purchase Legacy with either
a printed or PDF manual, it's a bit more expensive than purchasing just
Legacy without the manual.

There are a lot of great Helps in the Legacy Help file (which is kept
up-to-date, unlike the manual which is not updated) as well as articles on
the website under the Help Center  Technical Support and Help Center  Tips
(both of which can be accessed through the Support section on the Legacy

I think a lot of companies are moving away from printed and PDF manuals

updated more frequently.

Re: [LegacyUG] PDF Manual Available?

[Marilyn Clark]

I purchased my PDF manual at the same time I upgraded from free Legacy 7 to the 
Deluxe Version, about a month ago. I am sure one of the Millenia people will 
help you get one.

 Apparently this company doesn't do that.

RE: [LegacyUG] PDF Manual Available?

[William H. Boswell]

Thanks.  I will probably purchase it this week.  My transition from FTM 2009
to Legacy is not an easy one and will take a long time to convert
everything.

I hope in the next version they have more options for importing other than
PAF and GEDCOM, but I know how other companies are about protecting their
code.  I'm simultaneously updating FTM 2009 at the same time as Legacy in
case I have to re-import again after screwing things up.

I used The Master Genealogy as a bridge between the two since it uses
GenBridge and can read FTM2008/2009 files.  I upgraded to FTM 2010, but it
is a lot worse than 2009 so I switched to Legacy and plan to dump FTM once
I'm finished cleaning up.

[LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[William H. Boswell]

I know this is going to be confusing which is why I can't find it in the
Help of Legacy.  I looked at a tutorial online at the Legacy website and
found that it was recommended that cemetery names be moved from the Buried
field leaving only the city and state.  A spent a long time putting them
there in FTM 2009 because it seemed appropriate, but I can understand why
they shouldn't be there now.

Multiple Questions on this one:

1)  I tagged all the cemeteries that need to have their name moved by
clicking on the plus sign.  Is there a way I can first show all the tagged
items and start moving cemetery names from there.  I can't find anything
within the program that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point
of tagging if you can't?

2)  Should this be done for all locations including residences where the
person lived?  I have a lot of those and just started, but didn't finish
because I don't want to have to revert back with hundreds of them.

3)  Are mailing list addresses just for living people or residences where
the person lived (i.e., census, death notices, etc.).  This question kind of
goes with item 2.

4)  Master List Location list:  only city and state?

I'm finding this very confusing.  I think I'm going to have to purchase and
download the PDF manual then read the entire thing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[Linda McCauley]

Bill,
Before you jump into changing everything, let me recommend that you
enter a few both ways then run some test reports and web pages (if you
are going to create a website) to see how they look to you. Also check
out how the information displays within Legacy - especially the
mapping feature. I prefer to have the full address in the location
field and also include the cemetery name in the burial location field.
Others on this list do the same. It seems to me a terrible waste of
the mapping feature to only plot a town when you could plot the exact
location. As far as I know, entering a full address or a cemetery name
in the location field does not cause any problems. One of the things I
like about Legacy is that there is often more than one way to do
something and you can find the way that you like best.

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[ronald ferguson]

Bill,
 
I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this one!
 
Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for 
living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I 
include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from 
England).
 
Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also 
find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the 
Location Field.

Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, 
I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

Re: [LegacyUG] The marriage tag - What is is good for?

[Paula Ryburn]

If I understood the gist of this thread, we need two enhancements to Legacy re: 
marriage tags:

1.  Ability to tag marriages found as result of a detailed search.
2.  Ability to view just the tagged marriages (in lists, reports, etc.)

Am I correct?

Do we need to submit a formal request on the Legacy website?
Has someone already done that?

Thanks,

[LegacyUG] pros/cons source conversion

I have been contemplating converting my (old) sources from Basic to Source

I would appreciate it if any of you on this list could share with me any

If I've seen that tutorial I have forgotten what is said on this 
subject. When I first started using Legacy I put addresses into the 
Address fields and Locations into the Place fields because that was 
obviously what I was supposed to do.  However I found a lot of 
disadvantages in doing this and Ron Ferguson kept saying he puts 
everything in the Place fields and has no problems.  I very much respect 
Ron's opinions and advice so I no longer use the Address fields and am 
gradually moving any Addresses I had previously entered into the 
appropriate Place fields.


If someone knows of any easy/quick way to do what you want to do, 
doubtless they will be along to tell you soon.  However, if I were you 
I'd have second thoughts about whether you really want to do that!

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[RICHARD SCHULTHIES]

I reccomend going to the Master Location List,  find a cemetery, choose show 
people, tag all with a clean tag. Then add the burial address (which you did 
cut and paste for), and change the location on that person. It takes a while, 
ut I got fast at it after a while.

I second Jenny's comments. I put cemetery names in the burial location
field because I like the way it reads in reports. Try it both ways on a
person or two and run some reports, create some web pages, etc. Then you
can decide which you like better.

Re: [LegacyUG] marking people as not living

[Michele Lewis]

Okay regroup  I have it set like that under options.  I did exactly as 
your said and did it off of the tools menu and you were right.  It marked 
508 people as dead.  Why is it then that I have it set up properly on the 
options menu but it isn't working.  I go to the tool menu and use the same 
age cut off and it works.

To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the
number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control.

3. Click the Start button.  Legacy goes through your entire family file
setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older
than the you specified.  When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to
see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO.  To
view the list, click Yes.



As the help file indicates, Legacy will use information from relatives
to help determine dead or living status.  You must do the above to have
Legacy scan your file and correct the flags.  In the help file search
Intellimurder.

Once you know which printer/plotter they are using, download the driver and 
then, using that driver, format your chart according to the paper sizes 
available for that printer/plotter. That should give you a pretty exact chart

 I don't think so Ron. I tagged over 1000 people in my file that fit the
 following criteria...

 no death date
 set as living

 Over 3/4 of those tagged are people that would have died before 1900 and
 couldn't possibly be alive. They had parents with birth dates of 1750 or
 children with birthdates of 1790 (you get the idea). I am manually going in
 and marking them as dead.

 I realize it is partly my problem for not estimating birth and death dates
 or manually marking them as dead when I enter them.

 Michele,

 That is not so. It will look at ancestors and descendants and decide if they
 would have been over whatever date you have set for the life span.

 I have the advanced set living thing set. It automatically marks those
 over
 110 dead but that only works if you have birth and death dates!

 From the help file;

 Advanced Set Living







 There are several Legacy reports, plus web pages, where the privacy of
 anyone whose Living status is set to Yes is protected by suppressing all
 personal details. When creating these reports, no information is
 included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertently left
 set as Living.



 Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are
 manually entered. The process is automatic if their death or burial
 information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than
 120 years ago. If no birth, christening, death, or burial information
 is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to
 No.



 It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals
 manually, but the task can become formidable when adding hundreds or
 thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import. This
 is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy. This option
 does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for
 people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years
 old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their
 ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then
 sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there,
 regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates.

 To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

 1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

 2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the
 number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control.

 3. Click the Start button. Legacy goes through your entire family file
 setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older
 than the you specified. When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to
 see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO. To
 view the list, click 

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[William H. Boswell]

I think I'm going to leave them alone.  I only converted a handful of them
and will move them back.

The other thing I just realized is that I have conflicts with addresses.
For instance, in DC there are the four quadrants (NW, SW, SE, NE).  I have
exact house and street numbers that use a SW and SE for example.  I am very
reluctant to check them out online and merge them for a very important
reason: doing so may not give me accurate results when searching records
online.  Also I have some addresses where the city name changed.  If I merge
to what is current now, I could possibly miss records that list the old city
name.

I know that Legacy has the Geo thing that is quite complex and will resolve
some of these and the addresses I have listed could be typos from obituaries
which I have all of digitally.

Bill,

I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this
one!

Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only
for living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in
which I include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country
(I'm from England).

Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also
find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the
Location Field.

Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved,
I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

 I know this is going to be
 confusing which is why I can't find it in the Help of Legacy. I looked at
 a tutorial online at the Legacy website and found that it was recommended
 that cemetery names be moved from the Buried field leaving only the city
 and state. A spent a long time putting them there in FTM 2009 because it
 seemed appropriate, but I can understand why they shouldn't be there
 now.



 Multiple Questions on this
 one:



 1) I tagged all the
 cemeteries that need to have their name moved by clicking on the plus
 sign. Is there a way I can first show all the tagged items and start
 moving cemetery names from there. I can't find anything within the program
 that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point of tagging if you
 can't?



 2) Should this be
 done for all locations including residences where the person lived? I have
 a lot of those and just started, but didn't finish because I don't want to
have
 to revert back with hundreds of them.



 3) Are mailing list
 addresses just for living people or residences where the person lived
(i.e.,
 census, death notices, etc.). This question kind of goes with item
 2.



 4) Master List
 Location list: only city and state?



 I'm finding this very
 confusing. I think I'm going to have to purchase and download the PDF
 manual then read the entire thing.

RE: [LegacyUG] pros/cons source conversion

[ronald ferguson]

Paula,
 
I believe this to be a matter of personal choice. We have had no indication 
from Legacy that they intend to abandon the Basic Source option, and if they do 
I imagine that there will be a massive outcry!
 
The advice we have had so far, from Geoff, is to make the change slowly, such 
as when we have to add/change a source. I haven't quite followed this advice 
myself, but not too far off it.
 
I have decided to retain many of my Basic Sources, such as for censuses and 
vital events, even though I now also have Sourcewriter Sources for them. I 
consider it would take far too long to change them to the Sourcewriter format 
which I currently use.
 
I have changed a few where I have no Sourcewriter Sourcing, but these tend to 
be rather a small number.
 
To summerise, I am intending to continue use Sourcewriter for most new entries 
and keep the Basic ones which I already have.

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[ronald ferguson]

Bill,
 
I am not familiar with the details of USA addresses, old or new, but most of us 
enter the address/location as it was at the time the record where one found it 
was made. Thus, one place may have a few names. Where necessary the Event Notes 
can be used to clarify these.
 
I am not a regular user of the GeoLocation facility, only using it for checking 
locations, but please note that it uses modern addresses only.
 
Since you are to leave the address detail in the Location Fields, can I suggest 
that you go to ViewMaster ListsLocationSort and set the Sort Direction to 
Right to Left. This makes it easy to look through the locations to find any 
you may be looking for.

[LegacyUG] Grave Transcriptions and Photo--Where?

[William H. Boswell]

I just ran into this while still cleaning up my data.  I have a custom
category called Grave that I created in Family Tree Maker some time ago.
This is usually where I attach photos of the grave, the date of the visit,
and grave transcriptions.

Ordinarily I would just leave this, but I'm still moving cemeteries over to
where they belong and want to get rid of all cemetery names from my Master
Location List.  Something tells me I should not, but I'm only going by what
I saw in the online video.

I don't think it should be attached to the burial event since these photos
were taken many years later.  Is there a specific place grave photos and
info. should go?  There probably is a place, but I haven't found it yet.

Re: [LegacyUG] The marriage tag - What is is good for?

[michael barberi]

Most Church marriage records contain the name and location of the Church.  For 
Italian ancestors, you will frequently find the Church Marriage Record as 
follows: Book of Marriages 1743, Page 56 retro, Church of San Martino, Cerreto 
Sannita, Italy.  This becomes the Master Source for the marriage record.  The 
marriage record Detail also contains name and address of the Church such as 
Giovanni Barbieri, son of Giuseppe and Angela Cappella, MARRIES Cristina 
Sanzeri, daughter of Stefano and Maria Grazia Meola, on 1 Feb 1743 in the 
Church of San Martino, Cerreto Sannita, Italy.   In these examples, the name 
of the Church and its location/address, is part of the marriage record.  I 
never used the house icon to record the name of the Church and its 
location/address because this information is always part of the marriage record 
detail and its source.  Perhaps there is an advantage to using this field.  If 
so, please let me know.

RE: [LegacyUG] The marriage tag - What is is good for?

[ronald ferguson]

Mike,
 
Your Book of Marriages seems similar to the English Parish Registers 
(Marriages).
 
There are really three ways of doing things, leave the entry in the Source, as 
you are doing, or enter it into the Location or Address Fields.
 
I prefer the Location Field, in which case I have no need to name the Church in 
the Source, but it is very much a personal choice. Like many things in Legacy 
there is no right or wrong way.

 Most Church marriage records contain the name and location of the Church. For 
 Italian ancestors, you will frequently find the Church Marriage Record as 
 follows: Book of Marriages 1743, Page 56 retro, Church of San Martino, 
 Cerreto Sannita, Italy. This becomes the Master Source for the marriage 
 record. The marriage record Detail also contains name and address of the 
 Church such as Giovanni Barbieri, son of Giuseppe and Angela Cappella, 
 MARRIES Cristina Sanzeri, daughter of Stefano and Maria Grazia Meola, on 1 
 Feb 1743 in the Church of San Martino, Cerreto Sannita, Italy. In these 
 examples, the name of the Church and its location/address, is part of the 
 marriage record. I never used the house icon to record the name of the 
 Church and its location/address
 because this information is always part of the marriage record detail and its 
 source. Perhaps there is an advantage to using this field. If so, please let 
 me know.

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[William H. Boswell]

The only thing about doing it that way is that I'm afraid I will add
duplicates.  These people already have sources and citations with notes so I
don't want to create new citations if that's what you're talking about.

I still can't figure out where to use the tag feature.  I wanted to list all
the cemeteries I tagged, but I don't see any option to select only tagged
people or items.

I just ordered the PDF manual for this program, but unfortunately I might
have to wait until tomorrow to get it.  I'm used to immediate downloads.

  I reccomend going to the Master Location List,  find a cemetery, choose
show people, tag all with a clean tag. Then add the burial address (which
you did cut and paste for), and change the location on that person. It takes
a while, ut I got fast at it after a while.

  I know this is going to be confusing which is why I can't find it in the

found that it was recommended that cemetery names be moved from the Buried
field leaving only the city and state.  A spent a long time putting them
there in FTM 2009 because it seemed appropriate, but I can understand why
they shouldn't be there now.

  Multiple Questions on this one:

  1)  I tagged all the cemeteries that need to have their name moved by
clicking on the plus sign.  Is there a way I can first show all the tagged
items and start moving cemetery names from there.  I can't find anything
within the program that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point
of tagging if you can't?

  2)  Should this be done for all locations including residences where the
person lived?  I have a lot of those and just started, but didn't finish
because I don't want to have to revert back with hundreds of them.

  3)  Are mailing list addresses just for living people or residences where
the person lived (i.e., census, death notices, etc.).  This question kind of
goes with item 2.

  4)  Master List Location list:  only city and state?

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[michael barberi]

Does not Events/Facts appear in reports?  If so, I have found creating an Event 
called Residence History is a great way to see the migration patterns of your 
ancestors over time.  In this Event, I list all known addresses by year, 
including those locations/addresses at birth, marriage, and death as well as 
those in Census Records, Naturalization Records, etc.  Its all in one place in 
an easy understandable format.  This does not mean I don't record 
addresses/locations in specific records.  I do.  However, I don't know of any 
way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors locations/addresses over 
his/her lifetime in one place.

Bill,

I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this one!

Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for 
living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I 
include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from 
England).

Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also 
find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the 
Location Field.

Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, 
I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

 To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

 1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

 2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the
 number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control.

 3. Click the Start button. Legacy goes through your entire family file
 setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older
 than the you specified. When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to
 see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO. To
 view the list, click Yes.


 As the help file indicates, Legacy will use information from relatives
 to help determine dead or living status. You must do the above to have
 Legacy scan your file and correct the flags. In the help file search
 Intellimurder.

RE: [LegacyUG] pros/cons source conversion

[Thena Jones]

Paula,

One of the most concrete advantages is that everything will match. 

But if you need to know my other excuses:

I had information in Brother's Keeper, with sources, that I uploaded to
Ancestry a couple of years ago. Then I added more sources in Ancestry. Then
I downloaded the whole thing into Legacy when I realized I needed a
full-featured genealogy program.

When I printed out a report and saw the way Ancestry cited its census
information, I knew I'd have to re-write every single one of them. And
because my style has changed over the years I needed to fix a lot of my
own, older citations. I had so many sources to clean up that I didn't bother
learning both systems, and don't remember what made me choose Source Writer.
But I have found that it makes me examine my source materials more closely
as to what they really are. We do tend to cite photocopies, scanned images,
printed indexes, and online databases as though they were the actual sources
that they represent.

I'm a detail person who can't sequence or plan, and I like the way Source
Writer helps me figure all this out. 

LTools was a life-saver for doing all the conversions.

So for me the concrete reason for using Source Writer was the rigor it
introduced to my citation writing. 

And the fact that now my sources all match. (I'm smiling, but I'm also not
kidding.)

Re: [LegacyUG] pros/cons source conversion

[Dan Bateham]

Hi Paula,

I have been diligently converting all of my sources to SourceWriter. With 
ten plus years of heavily annotated research, it has been a long process 
(about 15 months so far), and is now about 80% complete.


The main advantage of using the SourceWriter templates is it much easier to 
meet the standards of _Evidence Explained_. As I plan to publish at some 
point, this is important to me.


On the other hand, with the Basic source template, I find it is nearly 
impossible to meet the standards of EE in source output for the various 
requirements of full citations, subsequent citations, and bibliography 
entries.


Others may disagree with the standards as set forth in EE, and this is 
fine. To each his own.

Most people would not put all of that into the Master Source. Some of it 
would go into the Source Detail.



The marriage record
Detail also contains name and address of the Church such as
Giovanni Barbieri, son of Giuseppe and Angela Cappella,
MARRIES Cristina Sanzeri, daughter of Stefano and Maria Grazia
Meola, on 1 Feb 1743 in the Church of San Martino, Cerreto Sannita,
Italy.   In these examples, the name of the Church and its
location/address, is part of the marriage record. 


Agreed it is included in the Source document, but I don't see why that 
should exclude it from the data.  When entering that marriage I would 
enter the place of marriage as Church of San Martino, Cerreto Sannita, 
Italy but I would probably also put the place into the Source as well.


The content of the Source Document is the data which you want to record 
- name, date, place, etc etc.  You need to record only as much detail of 
the document itself as is necessary to show your path to your findings 
- which would, ideally, permit another researcher to duplicate your 
research.  Sometimes you might want to quote the text of a Source 
Document or attach a copy of it but I cannot see a reason for omitting 
important information from your actual records.



I never used the
house icon to record the name of the Church and its
location/address because this information is always part of the
marriage record detail and its source.  Perhaps there is an advantage
to using this field.  If so, please let me know.


If you print out a Report do you not want to be able to read from it 
where people were born, married, died?


If you want to find out who was born in a particular town or married in 
a particular Church it is much easier to search if this is recorded as 
part of the Data as well as or instead of as part of the Source.

The Options settings only ensure that when you enter  a *new* individual, if

your said and did it off of the tools menu and you were right. It marked
508 people as dead. Why is it then that I have it set up properly on the

To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the
number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control.

3. Click the Start button. Legacy goes through your entire family file
setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older
than the you specified. When finished, Legacy asks if you would like to
see a list of all the people who had their Living flag set to NO. To
view the list, click Yes.



As the help file indicates, Legacy will use information from relatives
to help determine dead or living status. You must do the above to have
Legacy scan your file and correct the flags. In the help file search
Intellimurder.

Bill,
 
I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this
one!
 
Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only
for living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in
which I include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country
(I'm from England).
 
Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also
find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the
Location Field.

Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved,
I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

 I know this is going to be
 confusing which is why I can't find it in the Help of Legacy. I looked at
 a tutorial online at the Legacy website and found that it was recommended
 that cemetery names be moved from the Buried field leaving only the city
 and state. A spent a long time putting them there in FTM 2009 because it
 seemed appropriate, but I can understand why they shouldn't be there
 now.



 Multiple Questions on this
 one:



 1) I tagged all the
 cemeteries that need to have their name moved by clicking on the plus
 sign. Is there a way I can first show all the tagged items and start
 moving cemetery names from there. I can't find anything within the program
 that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point of tagging if you
 can't?



 2) Should this be
 done for all locations including residences where the person lived? I have
 a lot of those and just started, but didn't finish because I don't want to
have
 to revert back with hundreds of them.



 3) Are mailing list
 addresses just for living people or residences where the person lived
(i.e.,
 census, death notices, etc.). This question kind of goes with item
 2.



 4) Master List
 Location list: only city and state?



 I'm finding this very
 confusing. I think I'm going to have to purchase and download the PDF
 manual then read the entire thing.

RE: [LegacyUG] PDF Manual Available?

Bill,

You will be happy you made the switch! I made the move to Legacy from FTM
2009. I am still cleaning up. It is so much nicer to be able to include so
much more information for a more complete picture, so at the end of clean up
it will have been worth it. Sources is the area I could use seasoned users
suggestions on the organization of!

Thanks.  I will probably purchase it this week.  My transition from FTM 2009
to Legacy is not an easy one and will take a long time to convert
everything.

I hope in the next version they have more options for importing other than
PAF and GEDCOM, but I know how other companies are about protecting their
code.  I'm simultaneously updating FTM 2009 at the same time as Legacy in
case I have to re-import again after screwing things up.

I used The Master Genealogy as a bridge between the two since it uses
GenBridge and can read FTM2008/2009 files.  I upgraded to FTM 2010, but it
is a lot worse than 2009 so I switched to Legacy and plan to dump FTM once
I'm finished cleaning up.

 Is there a PDF manual available

 program folders and only found the help, but I prefer
 something that does
 into more detail.

 I am thinking more along the lines of the one that would be
 included with
 the software, but has to be purchased.  Most software
 companies give you a
 PDF reference manual for free and allow you to purchase the
 printed version.
 Apparently this company doesn't do that.

 Since I have converted all my data over to Legacy 7 Deluxe
 from Family Tree
 Maker 2009, I have a lot of issues to clean up.  I
 find a user's manual
 better than the in-program help because I can't seem to
 find what I'm
 looking for.

RE: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

[William H. Boswell]

Thanks for the tips.  I really don't like the mapping feature anyway
because, as you said, you can't plot the entire house number and street.  I
really don't care about the city unless to just verify that it ever existed.
I am not going to move the addresses, but already moved a few cemetery
names--one for more than 200 people buried there.

Bill,
Before you jump into changing everything, let me recommend that you
enter a few both ways then run some test reports and web pages (if you
are going to create a website) to see how they look to you. Also check
out how the information displays within Legacy - especially the
mapping feature. I prefer to have the full address in the location
field and also include the cemetery name in the burial location field.
Others on this list do the same. It seems to me a terrible waste of
the mapping feature to only plot a town when you could plot the exact
location. As far as I know, entering a full address or a cemetery name
in the location field does not cause any problems. One of the things I
like about Legacy is that there is often more than one way to do
something and you can find the way that you like best.

RE: [LegacyUG] Report Sizing

[ronald ferguson]

Mike,
 
That is correct. As has previously mentioned you need to install printer 
drivers on your PC which will allow the size you wish to print. I know one 
previous post suggested asking your printer what printer they use and getting 
that.
 
I chose to install a CAD driver on the basis that that was bound to be big 
enough - and it is. It's called WinLine Raster Plotter (HPRTL/GL2), although I 
don't expect the exact model makes much diffence.
 
Once the driver is installed you have the option to select that driver to 
govern the size of your print.

I don't think so Ron. I tagged over 1000 people in my file that fit the
following criteria...

no death date
set as living

Over 3/4 of those tagged are people that would have died before 1900 and
couldn't possibly be alive. They had parents with birth dates of 1750 or
children with birthdates of 1790 (you get the idea). I am manually going 
in

and marking them as dead.

I realize it is partly my problem for not estimating birth and death dates
or manually marking them as dead when I enter them.

Michele,

That is not so. It will look at ancestors and descendants and decide if 
they

would have been over whatever date you have set for the life span.

From the help file;

Advanced Set Living







There are several Legacy reports, plus web pages, where the privacy of
anyone whose Living status is set to Yes is protected by suppressing all
personal details. When creating these reports, no information is
included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertently left
set as Living.



Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are
manually entered. The process is automatic if their death or burial
information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than
120 years ago. If no birth, christening, death, or burial information
is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to
No.



It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals
manually, but the task can become formidable when adding hundreds or
thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import. This
is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy. This option
does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for
people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years
old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their
ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then
sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there,
regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates.

To use the Advanced Set Living feature:

1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu.

2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the
number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin

Ron:

Thanks for responding.  My main point was that there is no single place in 
Legacy that deals with migration patterns of ancestors.  I believe that this 
information is very important if someone wants to understand such issues.  
Therefore, having a complete history of locations and addresses of individuals 
throughout their lifetime (in one place) can be created through an broad 
Event, such as Residence History.  In one click on your mouse or in a print 
out of an individual's genealogy data, you can see at-a-glance the most 
important information summarize appropriately.  You can then compare such 
migration information to other family members, etc.  Patterns will emerge that 
will enable you to write a great family story.

It would be great if Legacy could develop a migration capability so that we all 
could see a migration pattern plotting chart.  It would be also interesting to 
overlay one individual's migration pattern on to other family members 
information.  Hence, one could view a complete family's migration history.  Any 
thoughts?

 Does not Events/Facts appear in reports? If so, I have found creating an 
 Event called Residence History is a great way to see the migration patterns 
 of your ancestors over time. In this Event, I list all known addresses by 
 year, including those locations/addresses at birth, marriage, and death as 
 well as those in Census Records, Naturalization Records, etc. Its all in one 
 place in an easy understandable format. This does not mean I don't record 
 addresses/locations in specific records. I do. However, I don't know of any 
 way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors locations/addresses over 
 his/her lifetime in one place.

 Bill,

 I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this 
 one!

 Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for 
 living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I 
 include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from 
 England).

 Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also 
 find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the 
 Location Field.

 Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, 
 I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

I agree with Ron, Jenny and Dennis. I spent many hours converting my locations

I'm slowly working my way thru thousands of addresses to change it back again 
so the address is in the location field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Report Sizing

Michael:
In most cases most printers use a standard size of paper in which 
case you would ordinarily use a printer driver that matches the 
printer hooked up to your computer HOWEVER...plotters are somewhat 
specialised in their paper sizes using non standard paper 
sizes(Standard paper sizes would be letter, legal or even 
11x17...Much harder to find a printer that prints on that size paper 
but still can be done. Plotters often use 36 in wide sheets or other 
variants.if you downloaded a plotter driver and played with it a 
bit you would find a whole gamut of strange and wonderful paper sizes 
that you could use tofool your computer into thinking  that that's 
the printer you were planning on using. The idea is to give you a 
sense of the size of the chartand that's when you can use legacy 
to expand and decrease the print sizes etc. to get it to look exactly 
the way you want it to...If you actually tried to USE that printer 
driver to print you would get an error message since you don't have a 
plotter hooked up to your computer. What you want is the print 
preview feature. Computers are basically stupid...if you tell them 
you have a printer hooked up to your computer they will believe you...

To do all this, you need to:
download a plotter driver
install it...and make it your default printer in Windows control panel
use Legacy to format the chart and make any adjustments to font, etc 
while having the plotter print driver selected as your default 
printer. save the chartand then go back to the printer driver 
that you ordinarily use. The plotter driver is only for showAt

I would suggest that you contact the outlet you have selected to do 
the printing and find out from them what printer drivers they 
use(assuming that they are using a plotter type printer)
Once you know which printer/plotter they are using, download the 
driver and then, using that driver, format your chart according to 
the paper sizes available for that printer/plotter. That should give 
you a pretty exact chart size and make the chart a dream for them to print.

I believe you can accomplish the migration patterns for an individual using
Legacy as follows:

1.  Place a Resident event for the individual for each resident location,
e.g., at college, 1st job, 2nd job, etc -- I have about 15 resident events
for myself for each location that I have lived at - be sure to include the
city, county, state, country location in the resident event
2.  Then View the Chronology Tab and it will display the time history of a

3.  You can also map an individual and it will map all of these resident

Legacy that deals with migration patterns of ancestors.  I believe that this 
information is very important if someone wants to understand such issues.  
Therefore, having a complete history of locations and addresses of individuals 
throughout their lifetime (in one place) can be created through an broad 
Event, such as Residence History.  In one click on your mouse or in a print 
out of an individual's genealogy data, you can see at-a-glance the most 
important information summarize appropriately.  You can then compare such 
migration information to other family members, etc.  Patterns will emerge that 
will enable you to write a great family story.

It would be great if Legacy could develop a migration capability so that we all 
could see a migration pattern plotting chart.  It would be also interesting to 
overlay one individual's migration pattern on to other family members 
information.  Hence, one could view a complete family's migration history.  Any 
thoughts?

Mike,

Yes, Events/Facts appear in reports and they contain the Location Field where 
it says Place in the Event boxes. Which is why I use Location Fields and not 
the Address Fields in the Address Book.

 Does not Events/Facts appear in reports? If so, I have found creating an 
 Event called Residence History is a great way to see the migration patterns 
 of your ancestors over time. In this Event, I list all known addresses by 
 year, including those locations/addresses at birth, marriage, and death as 
 well as those in Census Records, Naturalization Records, etc. Its all in one 
 place in an easy understandable format. This does not mean I don't record 
 addresses/locations in specific records. I do. However, I don't know of any 
 way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors locations/addresses over 
 his/her lifetime in one place.

 Bill,

 I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to this 
 one!

 Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for 
 living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I 
 include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from 
 England).

 Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also 
 find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the 
 Location Field.

 Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, 
 I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).
