Almost all of the areas of the world except parts of Utah have access and the rest of Utah should be on soon. Sometime in the future, it appears, non-members will have access, undoubtedly as "read only." Even when Legacy can sync, you wouldn't be able to access without your own account. It is set up as a pedigree and family group system, so submitters are only entering their own family info, each new addition has to be connected as a child. spouse or parent to a previous one.

[LegacyUG] Copy individuals between Files
I have just tried this and it didn't work as I expected, but I think I have figured out how it does work. Just looking for confirmation that I've got it right. Was copying a single individual. In both files, the parents exist with identical individual and marriage data. In my file, (on left) I have only one child. In the file (on right) I am copying from, these parents have 7 children. In split screen view, I first clicked on right screen to bring the person I wanted to copy the main (female) position. I then dragged that person into the children area on the left (my file). I answered copy just the single individual, said no to backup (I just created one minutes before) and said no to go to merge. I expected that the person would be a child of the parents onto which I dragged the person. But, she was an unattached person, which I then linked to the parents (add a daughter-link to an existing person). Is this the way it is supposed to work, or did I do something wrong?

[LegacyUG] individual emails vs. digest format
Julie, I have been monitoring this list for a while now and find that it is used almost like instant messaging. I subscribe to several digest formatted lists and find them easier to deal with for several reasons: 1. Posted information and/or questions are written carefully and more completely because the list is only distributed once a day. That eliminates the "chat" that takes place in this list. 2. It is easier to skim for topics I want to read about. 3. The lists are monitored and rules are applied to everyone. However, this list has a totally different character. The constant messaging results in more "group" discussions and a more intimate contact. It seems to be more fun for the frequent participants of the list but overwhelming to those of us who have very little time to review all the messages. Since this list doesn't support digest mode, these points are moot. This list "is what it is" and it will not suit everyone.

[LegacyUG] "half" relationships
I have another question. I'm using Legacy 7 with XP. I'm having a problem with half-siblings/aunts/uncles, etc. They appear in the children's list and the relationship calculator correctly. But when I run set relationships, they are listed as full siblings/aunts/uncles, etc. What am I doing incorrectly. They use to appear as halves.

Just to answer your PS. The link to upload to Ancestry Online Family Trees was added in Legacy 3.0. It did not exist in Legacy 2.0. I cannot comment on why it is still there but Ancestry online family trees one of the biggest, if not the biggest, place for users to upload their family tree information.

RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry.ca direct link to Legacy
I guess I should jump in here even though I wish or think this thread is just about over. Maybe I'm misreading some previous posts but I think there have been several misleading statements about content that is uploaded to Ancestry.com. Pardon me, Millennia Corp., but you do have their link on your program menu so this needs to be said. If you go to Ancestry.com or RootsWeb.com and click on COPYRIGHT at the very bottom of the page, you'll find the following statement: "Content which has been contributed to public areas of Ancestry sites listed above by users remains the property of the submitter or the original creator and we are a licensed distributor of such content." It then continues with: "Occasionally, a person may feel that content submitted by another user is their property, or is covered by the copyright of someone other than the submitter. Please remember that we are only the distributor of user supplied content and the submitter, not Ancestry, is the one who has violated copyright if such a violation has occurred. However, we will respond to substantiated claims of violation." On another page which explains their Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), this appears: "By submitting Submitted Content to RootsWeb.com, you grant Ancestry, the corporate host of the Service, a limited license to the Submitted Content to use, host, and distribute that Submitted Content and allow hosting and distribution on co-branded Services of that Submitted Content." I have not found anywhere where they state that they own the submitted data. Brian in CA -Original Message- From: William H.

Mine was uploaded to Rootsweb's Freepages prior to the Ancestry.com takeover which came under different terms and conditions that did not state anything like this. I removed mine shortly after the Ancestry.com takeover because I did not agree with their terms at that time. I rarely used Ancestry.com's online trees and when I did my trees were usually private. The ones that weren't private I knew the risk and didn't care because I intended to offer the information freely since they were distant lines that were more beneficial to others than to me.

I'm not talking about vital record data and the like. I'm talking about specific information that no one else had access to. For instance, I have hundreds of hours of audio interviews where specific information was transcribed and passages used in my notes. Some of this information has shown up word-for-word in other people's trees. If I don't own that information, then who does since it is not publicly available and I still have the original recordings and there are no public copies. Since I had put some of that information online that is my mistake. Most of this information was online for many years because at the time the intentions of most people were good, but lately there seems to be more pirates than good intentions so I took it down. I wouldn't mind so much that the information is used, but the thiefs could at least cite where they got it from instead of taking ownership of my own data. Things like dates and places could have come from anywhere so how can I know where that came from. Specific information word-for-word I can tell if it came from my data.

Then they won't get in the way of your other mail. Also, you'd be able to organise them by thread rather than having them in the order that they arrived. This allows you to follow the threads that interest you and ignore those that don't. -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry.ca direct link to Legacy
Bill, In my case someone 'pirated' my data (which I had a surety level of 1) put it on RootsWeb (level 4) with me as Source. He then added stuff I never had, to me as the source. By the time I realized the situation, the culprit had died, and Rootsweb said they could not remove someome's data, except through the person or his representatives permission. I gave up, changed servers (not related to this), but people still find me?! 20 years later. He used the wrong information to get in the Mayflower group. I don't care anymore about messes he made in my name. Rich in LA CA - Original Message From: William H. Boswell To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Tue, November 3, 2009 5:27:20 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry.ca direct link to Legacy I think you misunderstood my stance on this. I'm not talking about vital record data and the like. I'm talking about specific information that no one else had access to. For instance, I have hundreds of hours of audio interviews where specific information was transcribed and passages used in my notes. Some of this information has shown up word-for-word in other people's trees. If I don't own that information, then who does since it is not publicly available and I still have the original recordings and there are no public copies. Since I had put some of that information online that is my mistake. Most of this information was online for many years because at the time the intentions of most people were good, but lately there seems to be more pirates than good intentions so I took it down. I wouldn't mind so much that the information is used, but the thiefs could at least cite where they got it from instead of taking ownership of my own data. Things like dates and places could have come from anywhere so how can I know where that came from. Specific information word-for-word I can tell if it came from my data. The only thing I ask is that they show some respect for those of us who spent the time and money to research it. Obviously they didn't.

Images, recordings, stories, look & feel, and other things can be copyrighted. But data like "born in 1850, married in 1870, and died in 1920" cannot belong to anyone.

RE: [LegacyUG] Charting
Generations - when it was around - did an all blood relative chart called an enhanced hourglass. Family Historian also does one. Reunion does one for the Mac I love Legacy and the charting it now has. However, it does need an all blood relative chart. It can be a massive chart, but it is the only one used at family reunions. Fortunately I have access to a colour roll printer! So that's my suggestion - an all blood relatives chart.
