[LegacyUG] Merging Files
I am in the process of merging two files and have a number of persons who
married twice.
In the Merging two Individuals Window I have as an example, John SMITH in
the left hand pane and John SMITH on the right hand pane.
John in the left is married to Mary Jones and they have four children.
In the right John is married Alice BROWN with two children.
Now.I know that in both panes, John is the same person with two
different families.
QuestionDo I a: Click on Merge right into Left or do I
b: Click Skip to next?
If a: Does Legacy create a second marriage or does that happen if I click
Skip to next?
I have looked in the help file and the manual and cannot find the answer to
this, no doubt it is there, I just cannot find it.{;-)
I look forward to any help with this query.
Colin.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List help
Sherry, Bing Maps seems to be working fine for me (finds locations and gives directions) but I'm having the same problems as the others from within Legacy on both my XP desktop and Vista laptop (using IE8 on both). I've never had a problem with mapping before this. Linda M. On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 12:33 AM, Sherry/Support wrote: > > I think you’ve hit on it, Todd.

RE: [LegacyUG] Master Location List help
I think youve hit on it, Todd. Legacys mapping calls up Bing (was Virtual Earth) and if there are problems with that website, you'll encounter problems using the mapping in Legacy. If you're having problems with Legacy's mapping, go directly to Bing/Virtual Earth and see if there are problems on the MS website. http://www.bing.com/maps/ Thanks for using Legacy.

RE: [LegacyUG] Master Location List help
Interesting. I seem to be on the exact opposite end of the current mapping problems (or lack thereof). Prior to last week, if I got to the Master Location List by using the blue triangle thingie next to a location from the Individual's Information window (or Marriage Information), the map would never come up. However, if I used the menu item, View/Master lists/Location, then the map would come up. The difference is that getting to the Master Location list from the menu would start with the topmost blank item selected. From there, I could select any location and the map would zoom to that location as expected. I figured it was a bug that would eventually be addressed. Suddenly last week, I noticed the map working as expected regardless of how I got to the Master Location List. I know Microsoft was having some problems with the roll-out of Bing and I just figured those problems were continuing until last week. As it stands right now, the Bing map feature is working perfectly. No complaints here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Heritage Collector Suite offer
Angela, I was just going to ask the same question. One of my co- workers just used iMovie on a Mac computer with photos to make an awesome presentation. I wonder how this differs. I also wonder if it user friendly and worth the money. There are other ways to organize photos and family members might like the bubble IDs of family members but they might also like to see a clean photo without that. Legacy has a photo center to store photos, it's just organizing the links to the photos that is the issue, I believe. I too was wondering for that price if I should pass or not since I don't know anyone who has used it yet.

Re: [LegacyUG] entering royal titles
You'll probably get lots of suggestions and things get complicated with the Windsor's. In 1917, the name House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was changed to House of Windsor by King George V (Edward's son), largely because of anti-German sentiment during WW I. So Edward VII (son of Queen Victoria) and his son, George V (until his 1917 proclamation), ruled as the House of SCG. In 1917, however, George V issued this proclamation: "Now, therefore, We, out of Our Royal Will and Authority, do hereby declare and announce that as from the date of this Our Royal Proclamation Our House and Family shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that all the descendants in the male line of Our said Grandmother Queen Victoria who are subjects of these Realms, other than female descendants who may marry or may have married, shall bear the said Name of Windsor..." Thus, Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor and son of Edward VII, had the royal surname of "Windsor". You could reasonably use "Windsor" as the royal surname and use the suffix field to denote his two titles: King Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth II reaffirmed George V's proclamation and managed to make this situation even more complicated. Some of her descendants are "Windsor", but others are "Montbatten-Windsor". As for the Archduke of Austria, I believe he was of the House of Habsburg. I'm sure others will have better suggestions; as I said previously, things can get complicated.

RE: [LegacyUG] entering royal titles
There is no standard, even among the most reputable genealogists. There are continuous debates among them. Remember, PLANTAGENET is not a surname. The important thing is to have in your files as many of the different names a person is known by. That does mean much searching, but that is the research necessary when dealing with titles, especially pre-1600 ones. And, spellings are all over the place too, so familiarity with those variants helps too. Legacy allows a person to be entered in many different ways, the main reason I switched ages ago. For instance, you can enter (surname in CAPS): Humphrey V de BOHUN, suffix = 1st Earl of Essex prefix = 1st Earl, Humphrey V de Bohun, of ESSEX Humphrey de BOHUN, suffix = 2nd Earl of Hereford prefix = 2nd Earl, Humphrey de Bohun, of HEREFORD If you show AKAs, you can find the person under BOHUN, HEREFORD, and ESSEX. This method can also show the succession of titles.

Re: [LegacyUG] entering royal titles
There may well be variations in description of names amongst our Royal Family, but what one needs to know is the family name, or, perhaps more accurately, the "house" name. For example George V was born into the House of Windsor and a search for George Windsor 1865 +/-2 will find his christening.

I haven't been able to find any guidance on how to enter royal titles into genealogy programs. Typically royals don't have formal surnames prior to the early 1900's so where exactly do you put their title? Do you put the entire title as their surname, i.e, Duke of Windsor? Do you break it up - Prefix: Duke Suffix: of Windsor. I've noticed that if I use the IGI search, I get a lot of zero results. But if I go to the family search site I get results for the same person. Example, I have Ferdinand Karl Archduke of Austria in my database, entered as First Name: Ferdinand Karl , Surname:Archduke of Austria. IGI search in Legacy returns zero hits. If I go to the website and enter First Name: Ferdinand Karl Archduke of Surname:Austria I get 3 results. However, not all records are like that. I'm confusedWhat is the actual standard for this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Double-dating in 1500s
Double dating only applies for dates after 1582. That was when the Gregorian Calendar was first introduced.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 7
I installed Windows 7 Professional over the weekend on my iMac VMware- Fusion and it is working great. Had a few issues, but after using some VMware forum tweaks got it to work great. I still wish I could run Legacy direct on my iMAC, but with Fusion, I seem to be able to use both PC and Apple items.
