Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging people question
Carl Cox wrote: If I tag a group of people that I need to check or fix something on If I use the arrows at the bottom of screen to go through the list... As long as I don't change anything on the person it will go to the next person. If I make a change to the person then when I hit the arrow it will say End of Tag List reached, moving to first Tagged Individual. This is VERY aggravating. If I am changing things on everyone in the list then every time I hit the arrow to go to the next person I get that screen and then I have to click it off, then hit the arrow again. Does that make sense? michele I have noticed the same thing, except that I just put up with the aggravation without checking the cause. That should be easy to fix. I vote to put it on the list of things to be done. (There are several other things with a higher priority, however.) Carl Carl, If you wish to put it on the list of enhancements then go to the Legacy Home tab in your program and at the bottom right there is an option to suggest new features.

I have been updating all my families with their 1850 census, I go to the Master Source List, go to Source, open the file and go down the list checking everything that shows it has a 1850 census. Ask it to show me the list, to make sure all are checked with a number 2, close it and go to the next one. I have come on a group under Indiana, Clay Co., Van Buren Twp., - 1850 and the next on the list is the same everything except it's a 1860.

All of the people on both these lists have 1850 census and 1860 census on their family screens, all information shows correct, all sources show correct, but on the Master list, only half of them (11) show on 1850 list and (7) show on the 1860.

Re: [LegacyUG] living again
I think it's the other way round. If a child died more than 120 years ago the parents (and other ancestors) are also considered to be dead. See 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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example
Jim, I am working with Michele off-list and have identified the reason for the living status not being corrected. When we have finished, one of us can come back with details and hopefully a method of correction. It is, however, something which Legacy cannot do, and unless I missed the significance in another post, has not been mentioned on-list.

RE: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example
Yes, thank you Evert! Legacy's Advanced Set Living feature can be reached by clicking Tools on the menu bar and selecting Advanced Set Living. 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.

[LegacyUG] [Legacy] Cannot Get FTP to Work for Created Web Pages
Hi, listers, I have searched already the help, tip, user archives to help me get the exact help I need, but am just not getting it right. Perhaps it is a misunderstanding of the differences between host, ISP, and website. As I spent some hours yesterday trying to do it again, I am feeling very frustrated and hope someone can give me step-by-step pointers. I want to place this family tree on a website that is both free and has invitation-only access, because it has many living people in it, and I want the other family members from this side of the family that is not documented to collaborate freely on adding their own data and pictures, as well as information about their/our direct ancestors. I have a family tree for my line up at Ancestry as a public tree, because those lines deal with people not living. My Legacy create web pages works just fine. I think. When I first tried to do this some months ago (yes, I am starting from the beginning, again), I set up an account with my provider, Cox Cable, for web space. Then I discovered that I couldn't trust that it would be completely private and it had little space available, and I deleted the account. For the short time it was up, I could get the FTP to work. I am using the Firefox FTP, because Mozilla Firefox is my web browser. I have already set up an empty private web site at http://sites.google.com/site/ that seems to be just what I needed. I think. But then I could not connect to the site using the FTP. I ended up deleting the add-on FTP, reinstalling it, deleting the account for the FTP, re-setting it up. Nothing works. All I get is unable to connect. I was trying various versions of the website address as the host in the account, both with the complete web address name and with only the root address: http://sites.google.com/site/. Am I missing a complete step here? Do I need to first go through the service provider Cox to *get* to the host website at Google, or is the website not the host? I really hope someone can help this unsavvy-in-tech user!!! I have followed the steps in the helps from Google sites, from Firefox FTP, and from Legacy. It must be easy, right? Or so many people could not be doing it successfully. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, Lorraine
[LegacyUG] Heirlooms
I would like to document some family heirlooms. These range anywhere from handmade quilts to jewelry to hand made pieces of furniture. Unfortunately some are deteriorating due to age and some have been damaged from a recent fire. I am in the process of photographing them and would like to include these somehow under the appropriate individual in Legacy. I'm thinking about adding an event Heirlooms, but I don't have any dates or places of where they may have been created or how to word the sentence structure of an event of this type. I'm not sure if using a date of between birth and death is appropriate, so how do you handle the chronological sorting of events with no dates? I know this seems like a rather mundane request, but I'm still rather new at this. Thanks in advance for your help! Sheri Harris, Ft.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging people question

Then I could not arrow over to the next person. It isn't changing the persons info that does it, it is UNTAGGING them that does it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example: Advanced Set Living
The reason for the problem which Michele has found is the individuals who are not set have no dates included and no Events and are the end of line children. Therein lies the problem, because my understanding is that Legacy works upwards to establish the probable living status. To do the same for the end of line children it would have to work downwards for every tree and somehow estimate a death date from parents, or maybe grandparents. This cannot be done in Legacy, using Access is a possibility, but I doubt if it would be easy. I would add that this is not a problem I have come across before and may be quite rare, at least in number/database. In Michele's case most of those of those involved had (their children's) names found eg. in wills, with no other record, so the best guess at a date is likely to be wildly inaccurate, could be around +/-20yrs, maybe more.

Re: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Cannot Get FTP to Work for Created Web Pages
OK, Lorraine, I have now looked at Google sites and it cannot accept HTML nor can you use FTP. In a nutshell it is not suitable for Legacy web pages. Can we first consider your concerns about your ISP's site; you say: couldn't trust that it would be completely private and it had little space available. Exactly what to you mean? Are you saying that you only want approved individuals to be able to access your site? If so it may be difficult to find a site which will offer this (although that need not be the end of the matter). And why is it too small, can you tell me how many MBs it is offering, the type of your web pages (Pedigree, etc.) and the number of individuals on your site? Given the above information I will know what to look for.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging people question
I am using 7.0.0.109. I, years ago added the icons to the 'top' of the form the equivalent left and right arrows. I found out that the 'icon set' doesn't work the same (correctly) as the lower one (incorrectly). (Did twice) I used a list I have, untagged the first person, chose each of the right arrows. When changing in the list, it is lost. The top one remembered the list until re-searched'. When changing the tag on the mainscreen, the list is maintained. The bottom one 'loses' the person when the tag is changed immediately.. If you change the tag on the actual list it is forgotten everywhere. I had never used the bottom ones, since I was familiar with the 'top' ones. Rich in LA CA Let me see if this makes sense... I tagged a set of people (everyone in my file marked as living) I started with the first person If I didn't do anything to that person I could arrow forward to the next person If I did something to the person (set them as dead) and then click on the tag to untag them... Then I could not arrow over to the next person. It isn't changing the persons info that does it, it is UNTAGGING them that does it.

RE: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Emailing info
When creating reports, you have options of which format to create them in. Not all formats are available for all reports. Not all formats include everything you can see in Preview. Choose one of the emailable options: Text file, HTML File, Rich Text File, PDF File. Click Create. In the Create Report window that opens, choose where you want the file to be saved and insert a name for your file. Click Save. The file will be created. The Preview screen will open along with a message asking if you want to view the file you have created. Click Yes. Then check that your file has what you want.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cannot Get FTP to Work for Created Web Pages
Lorraine, I also considered Google Sites recently (as I had to migrate some pages from the defunct GeoCities). After some digging, I discovered that there is no way to upload more than one page at a time to Google Sites. Thus it is not suitable for a family tree. After investigating a few other free web hosting sites, I decided to pay a small annual fee for a paid web hosting site (www.FatCow.com). There are many others to choose from, and several sites are dedicated just to reviewing them. One bonus is that you can be registered for one domain name as part of the deal. Sites like this are designed so that people knowledgeable about web servers can use the raw tools, but there are also some user-friendly tools to automate common tasks. For access control, rather than having to invite people, like with Google Sites, you can create passwords for files and folders. Good luck.

It only goes forward and backward through people I have had on my screen... Or am I understanding you wrong? No, that's the way the forward and back arrows on the main toolbar under the menubar, have always worked. To move through a set of tagged individuals (or tagged marriages), you use the left and right arrows (one pair for each of individuals and marriages) at the bottom of the screen. Note: whilst not being able to replicate your tagged/untagged problem, I can report something of a similar, unexpected nature in the operation of the Index tab. If you add individuals and marriages to the database using the Family tab, then the Index tab doesn't update with the new entries until you choose a different sort sequence. -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

RE: [LegacyUG] Some report problems
Thanks for this reminder Ward, when I looked at this thread in the archives I realised that I had in fact contributed to it at the time - Support questioned someone else as to whether the 'extra' citations related to notes for an individual and implied that the problem was being looked at. I can confirm that the errant citations are indeed related to information in Notes. Presumably the problem hasn't been solved as yet. No-one has commented about missing pictures in Descendant Book (Modified Register) - where photos of direct descendants of the starting person are not included in the report. I thought they were included if not married, but further experimentation proves that not to be consistent. All expected photos appear in Descendant Narrative (but errant citations also appear as well).

Ward - Original Message - From: Jan Roberts poo...@ozemail.com.au To: Legacy Users Group LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 10:21 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Some report problems In trying to test some report behaviour in order to respond to the index problems experienced by CE I discovered a couple of other problems in .rtf reports. After the lines giving instructions about creating your own index I get a short second set of source citations, numbered from 1. again. There is plenty or room for these citations to fit on the last page of the long list of citations. The second problem is that if a direct descendant is married their picture doesn't appear - only that of their spouse. If the direct descendant is unmarried their picture appears. I have options set for show pictures of husband and wife, show all preferred. They have always shown in other reports, specifically the Descendant Narrative. Can anyone reproduce?

[LegacyUG] More report problems
I have just created a PDF version of a Family Group sheet. Two problems have surfaced - 1. I decided to select Add page of page after the page number. What I got was a two page document (1st page was the family group sheet, second was the list of source citations) - page 1 showed it was (1 of 1), page 2 showed it was (1of 1). 2. Not all source citations are showing in the report. I have checked that all are marked to show on reports (initially the ones I added today weren't so marked, but the original 4 had been correctly marked but still only one was printed in the report.) Can anyone reproduce?

[LegacyUG] Death location
I have an uncle who died aboard ship during WW II. What do I put as his death location? I currently have Aboard ship in South Atlantic. On a similar topic, what to do about cremation. They are cremated and buried, but not necessarily on the same day. Do you just select cremated and then use the date and place of burial? I guess the cremation could be entered as an event, and then the burial record entered for burial. I really don't think it's a critical issue, but I'm curious how others are handling this. Jim
RE: [LegacyUG] Death location
I was wondering the same thing and am glad somebody asked it. I have a twist on one person: the person donated his body to a medical school, then was cremated. No idea where the cremains were buried. I noticed you can't select both cremated and burial. It's either one or the other. I think I have a separate event for cremations.

RE: [LegacyUG] More report problems
Oops! Strike the problem re the source citations - when I looked closely I realised the 'missing' sources related to the spouse of a child and so do not appear in the Family Group sheet. Sorry! The page numbering problem remains though.

Re: [LegacyUG] manual old Reunion files
My Generations EasyTree software creates .uds files; so it should be able to open your .uds files. If you will send the .uds files to me off list, I can open them with EasyTree, then create and send you a GedCom.

[LegacyUG] Problem with font settings
Greetings!, I can't get Legacy to obey the font settings I have selected for my Family Group Sheets. I am using Courier New, 10, bold, as the settings for my Data, Notes and Sources in the fonts sections of my Family Group Sheets. All the other sections work fine except for the Data part of the report. Legacy will not adhere to the Bold setting for Data it ignores it! Is this a bug? Or is it supposed to be like that? Does anyone know of a way around this? I have to use the bold setting as the Courier New font is to light and I prefer the font to be a little darker. Thank you for you help. Regards, Kenneth Carkeet Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
