[LegacyUG] Setting Birth Location for tagged individuals
Hi I was wondering if anybody can help with this problem. I have a large number of tagged individuals that I want to set their birth location to be the same. At the moment I cannot see any way to quickly do this other than editing each individual separately. I am able to use Microsoft Access and SQL if somebody could point me to the relevant tables and fields.

Re: [LegacyUG] Former generations users
Hi Judy, I used Generations EasyTree for many years before switching to Legacy 7. One reason I chose Legacy was its similarites to Generations in how data is presented (the interface.) But Legacy has so many wonderful features that Generations never had! The biggest tip I have for you is to learn to use the clipboards, both the Source clipboard and the Event clipboard. These are also two of the features that were the hardest for me to learn how to use. I read and re-read the help files "Clipboard, Source" and "Clipboard, Event" many times, and read postings to this list before it finally clicked for me. But once learned, it makes adding the same event or source to many different people an absolute breeze. The second tip would be to decide early on how to organize and name your sources as this will determine how they appear in the Master Source List, and it will make it much easier for you to find the source again. In Legacy the Master Source List is displayed in numeric and alphabetic order whereas in Generations the Source List is in order by the number assigned to the source when you entered it. There has been a great deal of discussion on this list about how to organize sources -- to lump or split, to group by state or by event (birth, death, marriage, etc.) and on and on. You can check the archived messages at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ If there is something specific about using Legacy that you would like to ask about, please do. There are many people on this list who have used Legacy for many years, who are always willing to help, and who know much more about Legacy than I do. If you want to contact me off-list, that will be fine also.

RE: [LegacyUG] Computer Crash - Lost Legacy Program:
That's a coincidence! My main data drive crashed Monday. Fortunately, I keep an external drive exclusively for old and new data where I also keep my current genealogy data in case the main data drive dies. I've been down this road so many times before because you can't trust computers. I would suggest if you don't want to invest in hardware for backing up to CD/DVD's, you can get those USB memory sticks (sometimes called thumb drives) for about $20 or less and backup your data to those. They're also very useful if you want to take your data with you. They small and some hold several gigabytes of data.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy vs. TMG
Hi Jackie, Welcome to the list. Yes, I switched from TMG 7 to Legacy 7.0 Deluxe, and I would definitely "NOT" switch back to TMG for a variety of reasons. I had been using TMG for about 15 years. Although it is a daunting task to clean up all the records, the finished product is well worth the effort. I would suggest asking yourself one question, and let the answer to that question dictate your actions. What is your Vision for the final outcome of all of your research? Finally a Quote from Stephen Covey "Keep the End in Mind." Hope this helps and good luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy vs. TMG
You may want to wait a bit longer, I just discovered bad problems with printing Source Reference numbers, the Sources are listed appropriately but not all of the reference numbers appear in the Report when printed out. I am afraid they may put too much emphasis on adding gee haws and not enough on making sure that what they already have really works as it should. Been a Legacy user since early Legacy 2. This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. I just wasted about $100 on paper, binding and postage of reports to libraries to find out that they are no good.

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.
