The only way I could give anyone directions to where my sister is burried is by finding it manually on a map, going to mapping and finding it and entering an address like this: Washington Creek Cemetary, Douglas, Kansas, USA Since it has the 384936.824 N Lat & 0952400.676 W Long it pins it right down to the corner of the old country burying ground wher she is resting.

When I type C:\Users\Ward\Documents\Genealogy\Legacy Reports\some_file_name.pdf into the IE address field, IE opens the pdf with Reader embedded in a new IE window. My point was that if you can: (1) Cause Adobe Reader to open the PDF by double-clicking on the PDF's filename in Windows Explorer; and (2) Cause IE to embed Adobe Reader within an IE window and display the PDF by entering the filename and path as the browser's URL; then Legacy should also be able to invoke Reader when you give Legacy the PDF's filename and valid path. If (2) does not work, then perhaps there is still a security/rights setting somewhere that is blocking all programs from opening Reader for that PDF. A long shot, but another clue.

Rather it forces me to create a new file and the fun starts all over again. I have tried exporting to a new family file but it did not fix the errors. I have uninstalled Version 7 completely (deleted all files and folders) and reinstalled it, but the results are still the same. BTW, I’m using the most current build of V7, just downloaded it yesterday. Thanks in advance for any further suggestions you might have for me.

I had a Chemistry teacher in the '60s with a similar mentality. He used
to flick pieces of chalk across the lab at kids not paying attention.
Then, when he'd got himself nicely wound up, he'd resort to the
blackboard cleaner (remember those). And when he really started to go
ballistic, he'd jump up and down in front of the class, swearing his
head off.
Ah! Happy days! No problems with parents that wouldn't stand for their
kids being disciplined. If I did something wrong at school and went home
and told my parents, I'd get an extra clip round the ear, because the
teacher must have been right!

Re: [LegacyUG] Location
Though some will tell you otherwise, 33 Brisbane Street, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia works just fine. I use as many parts of the address as is appropriate FOR THE ADDRESS, without regard to 4 segments. If the address calls for 3 segments, that's what it gets. If it calls for 5 or more segments that works also. For locating on the map using 4 segments does not guarantee automatic results, so even those sometime require manual locating. Although the street name has been changed, "717 Millman St., Peoria, Peoria, Illinois, USA" points directly to the house that I lived in in 1945.

What I was finding was that choosing an individual and then clicking the Mapping button brought up the correct list of locations and then it tried to resolve on the map all those places that hadn't yet been resolved. This is where it went wrong. The places it picked all were within the list of locations on the left, BUT the coordinates and balloon were allocated to the wrong place. E.g. if there were 4 locations A, B, C and D and that B, C and D had not been "resolved" before i.e. placed on the map then it seemed to place location B at the point on the map for location C, similarly for location C it might go to the place on the map for location D. This didn't always happen, but very frequently. Now I try to ensure that the places have been resolved properly before I go to mapping. But I will always go down the list to make sure that the locations are shown at the correct place on the map.

It would be nice if the program merged all of them together, but it does not, I combine them into one, and sometimes, as I merge a few together, I can see it adding a name like the one I'm working on, and when you click on the added one, there will be no names attached to it, so I merge again. I am working on the Master Location file to get all the locations with their correct county and full state name with the program help. I know that the program should only have one name for each spelling, and that is why I'm writing to you and telling you, that it is not happening that way. I have been working on this file for over a week and I'm only down to the "L" names now. So I have lots of experience with working with the program and this file. I know how to combine the names, that is not the problem, the problem lies with the program, having 17 cities names all the same, when it should automatic merge them into one, as I imput them on the family file I'm working with.

What does Australia have? Provinces, states? And what does the USA have within counties? Do they have townships? I'll enter - Brandesburton Parish, East Riding Yorkshire, England Moore Township, Lambton County, Ontario, Canada but in the USA I usually have to find the Genweb site for that state and work from there or plod through Google.. It's repetitive entering the word township and county all the time but makes things a lot clearer (and more educational) for those unaware of that particular country's geography. Helen Most of the USA has townships subdividing the counties, but they are seldom noted in locations except for legal description of real property. When appropriate or required I use the abreviation 'Twp.'. I normally use the 'city, county, state, USA' convention within the USA, except in those cases where a city does not have a county and some other special cases like 'Washington, District of Columbia, USA' - there is no county involved in D.C., which is technichally not a state either. And I try to use the local convention in non USA locations. I'll let someone from OZ give the conventions there. With grandparents from Australia, England and from Illinois before most of the counties were formed it is being quite an education.

The check box is not checked and wont be unless I learn some reason to check it. Sounds right to me.

Similarly those using vista seemed to have more difficulty in getting rid of the problem than those using XP. As you mention SP3, I take it that you are using XP. I have not installed SP3 and won't - indeed I used the request form not to install it for 12 months - as it was too buggy when released. whether it would cause an Error 91 I don't know.

Re: [LegacyUG] Index Sorting
Ron, If you could sort by date you may find duplicates that you are unaware of. You would almost have to know who you were looking for and when they were born to find them by search. The ability to sort by date of birth is something I have long wished for, for that reason. Art Seddon Chick, I haven't a clue as to whether it is likely to be a future enhancement, but if you are looking for everybody born between two dates then you can use Search>Detailed search and enter the two dates where appropriate. You can also use wildcards in the search - see the Help Files (search for wildcard and check Detailed Search in the options) for a third condition. Hence: you would search for an individual, born after AND 2nd condition born before AND 3rd condition surname Equal To Jones (with wildcard if wanted) Ron Ferguson *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.

Re: [LegacyUG] files
One additional thought on that, Gary, if you are using Outlook Express, when
you empty the Deleted Item folder it DOES NOT empty. It just hides it.
Every couple of days I delete "Deleted Items.dbx"
which is located at
C:\Documents and Settings\Arthur\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{F493B78F-0182-467D-9C9D-975D0C9B5E27}\Microsoft\Outlook\Deleted
Items.dbx
I deleted it last night and when I look at it now it has everything that I
deleted all day, and is a 1.25 meg file although, since I make a practice of
emptying it and it now shows only one 15K file.
It is a hidden file in a hidden folder, so you need to know how to access
it. I use a special program called Z-Tree - never used the windows file
manager.
I just closed OE, deleted the file, which can only be done when OE is
closed, restarted OE and it created a new file, now 76.5K.
Anybody that has never deleted it will probably find it is huge.

If your laptop is that full then you need to attack the things that take up
large amounts of space, not a few piddly Legacy files that are often a few
KB. Here are a few things you can do that will have a much bigger effect.
Run the Disk Cleanup utility and let it compact files. There are a couple of
free programs that help eliminate superfluous stuff, and do so a lot more
safely. One is CleanUp! at http://www.stevengould.org/ and another is
CCleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com/
Then run the disk defragmenter.
If you use Internet Explorer, make sure you reduce the default settings for
temporary Internet files to something reasonable like 60-90 MB (found under
Tools, Internet Options.
Properly uninstall any unnecessary software you have installed.
Review any stored emails and delete ones you no longer need to save and
especially ones that have file attachments you no longer need, then empty
the deleted items folder so they are fully gone
Offload large files such as multimedia, especially video files, to a
portable hard drive.
Computers do not run well with less than 10% (preferably 20%) free space. If
those things don't help enough, it is probably time to think about a new
laptop or replacing the hard drive for a larger capacity (although laptops
are more difficult to clone over).

Re: [LegacyUG] Separating a family for webpages
Hi Syble, I also have a Dell 8100 Dimension and it still runs fine. I have a program that keeps the disk always defragmented and added a gig of memory. I also check what programs load at startup and eliminate un-needed ones from time to time as well as run a regestry cleanup occasionally. It came with XP Home, which I have kept updated with SP3 and automatic update. Much cheaper than replacing a computer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Changing RINs
I would suggest turning off the "Show AKA's" while changing RINs and turning it back on later to see if that solves the problem. Art Seddon - Original Message - From: Steve Voght To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Changing RINs I think almost everyone is missing what the problem is that Carol is reporting. She understands what the double-S (officially "section mark" -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_mark) is for, but according to her most recent post, the problem is the AKAs are being associated with the *wrong individuals* after she changed people's RINs. Thus, if RIN#1 was formerly Jane Smith a.k.a. Jane Smythe and RIN#2 was Frank Jones a.k.a. Fred Jones; after Carol changed the RINs and swapped their numbers, now RIN#1 is Frank Jones a.k.a. Jane Smythe, and RIN#2 is Jane Smith a.k.a. Fred Jones. So the base problem is that her AKAs did not get reassigned properly and are now all associated with the wrong people. Thus it sounds like the only fix (until this bug (?) is fixed) is to go through every individual with an AKA, manually delete them, and reassign them to the correct individual. This is obviously not an ideal solution since it will require a lot of manual labor and re-adding sources and so forth... Because I've never changed RINs after they are assigned I can't verify if this actually is a bug, but it sounds like something to look out for if you do consider a mass-reassignment of identification numbers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to enter a street address?
Well put Bruce. That also works for me in the US. Art Seddon - Original Message - From: Bruce McArthur Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Where to enter a street address? Hi all This is an interesting thread. Genealogy programs tend to allow different ways of doing the same things and Legacy is no exception. The bottom line has to be that you put data into the program in such a way as to get the results out that you want from the screen display, mapping and printed reports. You certainly don't put data in because that is the way the program works and "it causes problems if you don't". If you don't like the way it works and you can't get what you want, you vote with your feet and use a different program. Legacy has introduced a very nice mapping feature and it works on the location and as far as I know it doesn't work on address. I want to map addresses because most of my ancestors lived in Northumberland, England and I want fine detail. Also I don't want two places to enter location information, because it takes time and doesn't gain me anything. So I put everything in Location and it seems to work fine. If you want to write to people then use the address by all means but 99.99% of my tree is long dead! regards Bruce McArthur No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
Hi all, No spaces in file names - I have it now so that it's just work left. I duplicated the file structure of \Legacy\Pictures and all sub folders and renamed it \Legacy\Pictures_wo_spaces and all the sub folder under it with copies of the pictures. I found a program with a 30 day free trial called FileBoss, downloaded and installed it and in about 20 minutes had replaced the spaces with underlines in over 4,000 file names! Then I got the picture list using the recommended View > Scrapbook list of everybody. Used search and replace in WordPerfect to manipulate that file into a comma delimited txt file which I imported into Excell and by sorting by name have a list which shows all files linked to an individual sorted by individual. Couple of days work, but it will keep me busy while waiting for the update that will properly do the merge that has messed up my file every time I tried it. That program, FileBoss did a beautiful job and does much much more, but I'm not into programming enough to justify $49.95.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
Thanks Ron, Is there a way to get a list of what pictures are linked to what individual? With a list, I would then know who to go to to correct the link after the graphic file name has been changed. Also, is there a utility that could change file names in bulk and replace spaces with underlines or hyphens? With almost 4,000 multi-media files this will be a major chore any way I do it and any advice would be appreciated. By the way, visited your website and downloaded the PM timeline. Enjoyed the site, and thanks for the timeline.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
Hi Leo, I had changed nothing. I had just finished a Maintenance - Check/Repair and received the message to do the check Multi-Media locations, which I did. I printed out the list and then went to several of the files which have the supposedly lost graphics and found all graphics that I checked still properly linked to the individuals and displaying in their proper picture gallery. The only problem is the files it listed as not being in \Legacy\Pictures had never been in that folder, but were in sub-folders such as \Legacy\Pictures\Census\UK or \Legacy\Pictures\Census\US or \Legacy\Pictures\Wedding\, etc. No problem in V6 and the only problem (with graphics) with V7 is getting an error message and error.log when the graphic linkage is working correctly. Thanks for the advice.

Everyone probably uses their own method of naming their pictures, mine may not be the correct method but it works fine for me. Here is an example of what I mean, I have a photo of Mary Jane Smith, I scan it into my program and then I call it Mary Jane Smith, a second photo of the same person at a later date I'll call it Mary Jane Smith (1) etc. Sometimes I have discover that I had the name listed incorrectly and I rename the photo, so instead of it being Mary Jane Smith, it is now called Jane Mary Smith. Now, when I do a backup at the end of the day I will get the same message as you are getting. I can reopen my Legacy program, locate the person that I have changed, look up the new named photo and set the new path and everything works fine. Providing I have only used this photo once or twice as in an event or the main photo for this person, and I have located both photo's and corrected both paths. Where I ran into a real problem, and it took me forever to figure it out, was that I had used the same photo and attached it to a source detail, like the photo you may get on a death notice. You attach the photo to the source, then you attach the source to everything that is connected to the person in the death notice, birth, death burial, parents, spouce, children etc. As an example I just did this exact same thing a couple days ago, I got the same message as you did and I ended up with I think it was 76 errors. I had only changed one photo, it was attached to the source for a death notice. Here is what I would suggest you should do, first back up your file and your multimedia files first. Do a file maintence check/repair. Go to Options>customize>Locations>test all multimedia paths, if you get a list, print it out. If you can't locate the photos from this list you can try the following. Go to Options>customize>Locations>View Current list of Multimedia locations>highlight one of the location paths>Options>Delete>view list>Print>close>close>close then check the photos in this list. Remember the missing photo may not be the main photo for the person, you may have it also attached in the + section at the end of the birth, baptismal, death or funeral address sections, or have it attached to a marriage, an event, or as I said before it may be attached to a main source or to the source detail. I hope I haven't confused you even more then you were before, I hope something I have said will help.

[LegacyUG] Missing Multimedia Files report after backup
After doing a backup of Multimedia Files an error message reports that I need to go to Options > Customize > Locations and "Test All Multimedia Paths", Which I did. I received a very long list of files missing from "C:\Legacy\Pictures\". I keep various graphics in their own folders, such as "C:\Legacy\Pictures\Census\UK". The interesting thing is that when I go to the individuals using the graphics, they are still properly displayed, they are not lost, but the error message is scary since the report lists about 500 *.jpg's.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merge - V7.0.0.53
Ron, I always import a gedcom into a new Legacy file, clean it up, check for unwanted user ID's, AFN's Living or non-living, location formating, families with multiple parents or "unknown and unknown" parents (which can mess up ancestor view after merge when you have the individual with valid parents) and several other things. And yes, I do make a back-up, named beforeXXXmerge.zip. But I think linking my wife as the husband of an individual that was in the original file and lived centuries ago is a bug. I have since found MRIN's created with other existing individuals separated by centuries where the husband an wife were of the expected sex, so it was not reported as an error, but the MRIN # was in the block of MRIN's with the reported wrong sex for husband or wife. I have reported this to Sherry, with a screen shot of a split-screen of the bad file side-by-side with an older copy of the file.

A quick and dirty way to pick up the address (at least in Outlook Express), when you have an e:mail open to read, if you right click on the "To Address" and copy then open a new e:mail and in the "To" paste.

This means that when someone replies to a post and changes the subject line, it is still threaded with the old conversation. It is very simple to save the list address - LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com - in your address book (indicate that all emails to this address should be in plain text, if your email program works that way), and then when you want to ask a new question *start a new email* to ask it. *Don't* piggy-back off someone else's post that is discussing something different. Do this each time, and you won't upset those people who are affected by this threading. Posting to a list - any list - is no different to writing to a friend.

Re: [LegacyUG] English counties with VE
A suggestion just struck me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Faulty Gedcom & Legacy-
Ron, I have found it works better to import a gedcom into a temporary Legacy file, tag only the ones that I want to import and export to a new temp Legacy and then clean it up there such as location list, especially getting rid of the entries where location has been used insted of notes and formating the location entries consistant with the way I like them; checking whether living or deceased; etc. Then after that file looks good, it is ready to merge with my main file. I find that eliminates a lot of problems. Art Seddon - Original Message - From: Ron Taylor To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 7:54 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Faulty Gedcom & Legacy- There is no magical merge on import. You must first import the data into Legacy. During the import some things can be cleaned. After the import, you should clean all the data as much as possible. Once the data is in one database and cleaned, then perform a merge. Even after several merge combinations you will still find a few people that are not detected by the merge tools. Those you will have to spot by looking at the name lists, marriage lists, index view, and elsewhere but the majority will be resolved by effective use of the merge tools. By cleaning and standardizing the data, you increase the likelihood that matches will be found by the software. One precaution that I always follow is to never import new data into my main cleaned database. I first import, clean, and merge new data in a separate database and then when I feel that it is ready I import all or parts of it into my main file using the split screen tool. After that import, another series of merges needs to be done in the main database to fully incorporate the new data. Hope this helps. Enjoy your research.

Re: [LegacyUG] English counties
Hi Jenny, Thanks for your answer. If the message didn't come as plain text, I don't know how come. I have the address ticked "send in plain text only", but I did get lazy and just hit "reply to sender" on a e:mail on the list, hit 'Control A' - delete, changed the subject and wrote my question. Maybe doing that, I just checked and the existing file I used is HTML so I guess it goes out the same way regardless of the tick mark in my address book. I guess I'll be more careful with replies.

That's exactly how I do it! After all, (a) it is correct to record data exactly as one finds it and correct to use addresses and specify locations as they were at the time of the event and (b) the actual position of the place does not move (1), it's only arbitrary lines drawn by people which do. (1) Excepting, of course, some rare occasions such as where a village spread in one direction and part of the original site was abandoned as happened, I believe, at the time of the Black Death. (Which is why, AIUI, some villages' churches are a little apart from the village, not right in its heart.)

[LegacyUG] English counties
How do genealogists handle the English counties where the county lines have been redrawn and towns have been moved from one county to another, so that you have a record (census, birth, etc.) showing one county name and VE don't find it because it is now in another? I guess one way would be to use the name on the record, locate the town and move the pin regardless of present day county lines? Art Seddon, American raised, but all lines lead from Britain.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping suggestion
Methinks the complaints on mapping should go to Microsoft. I was mapping a location in San Francisco, California and when I placed the balloon on the corner house where it should be in the Aerial view it was accross the street in the middle of the block in the Road view and at a different spot in the Bird's Eye. I am sure that there is nothing that Legacy can do about it. I reported it to Microsoft. I hope they act on it. I'll drop it now as I think the subject of problems with Virtual Earth is a waste of LUG bandwidth. Art Seddon I have not sited any balloon icons myself. I just opened the mapping chart for an individual for the first time as part of my exploration of Legacy 7 and noticed that though the location dots are correct, the balloons are below that dot, not above. At least that is where they appear for me by default since I have not modified anything about them. This is in the large scale view which shows continents. You are correct that as I zoom in and out the map changes and the icons (which do not change in size) shift in their position relative to the dots, but always remaining below the actual city dot. I have not explored the maximum magnifications where maybe the default icon position shifts to a more logical one above the dot. > - if you have sited the balloon yourself, > wherever you put it. > As long as I position it on the "dot", Is there a way to manually position the balloon icon? I might then be able to change the default position which at least in my Legacy are shown below the dot in the large continent view - so that sometimes the icon is sited in the neighboring country!

Re: [LegacyUG] Off topic, but need help, off of this list, concerning Ancestry.com!
Hi Darlene, That 8 year old computer is a Dell, and the Internet Exporer that I run is that terrible Version 7 that so many complain about. Art From: "Darlene & Don Hicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, that is what I had, on my Dell, also! If your computer is 8 yrs. old and still running good, you are a very lucky person. My Dell is less then two years old, and I just got through buying their protective package for a wopping $270. Nothing they did helped me with ancestry.com. Oh well, now I have three more call times, I can use before my year is up! They worked for over 10 hours, with me, but nothing solved the problem. Norton 360 is the problem, as I already stated in another e-mail! Thanks for your suggestions and willingness to help me solve the problem. There are some mighty wonderful people on this list! :-D Kind Regards, Darlene [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." ~ C.S.

Re: [LegacyUG] Off topic, but need help, off of this list, concerning Ancestry.com!
Another thought. I'm using IE, XP SP3 and every update MS has put out on automatic update and as yet have not had any of the described problems. Works just fine and this is on an 8 year old computer. Oh yeh, I've added a couple gigs of memory.

Just a thought... Are you using Internet Exploder or Firefox? I have much better luck with Firefox and I'm afraid the last Microslop security upgrade probably added a bunch of new permissions to Internet Exploder and it ... um exploded. I have a much better experience with firefox... and Legacy will use the routines as needed from Internet Exploder when you use the mapping function.
