[LegacyUG] Source Override feature and Source Clipboard - version 7.0.0.45
Hello list, Is there a way to copy the source detail to the clipboard when one uses the override feature. I used the override feature on the footnote and subsequent citation but not on the bibliographic entry. The source clipboard is not copying the overrides.

[LegacyUG] Legacy User group list and could we have 2 lists
Dear list members, While I appreciate all of the information shared on this list; I would prefer to have 2 lists. Is that possible? When I am really busy I just cannot keep up. Presently I have over 800 unread messages. My desire is to have one list that deals specifically with the Legacy program. The second list would address such items as how do you enter your places, how do you enter your sources; how do you print a page from Ancestry, how do you enter nicknames, how do you enter unknowns, etc. If this is not possible or the majority are opposed; no problem. I will just unsubscribe again and rely on the rootsweb list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cannot unlock Deluxe
Hi Donna, Did you get your Deluxe edition unlocked? Make sure that you enter your customer name as you were addressed in the email you received with your new customer number. You were issued a new number for version 7. Enter the number as written in the email with the dashes. I don't remember having to enter an address, so are you sure that you are on the correct screen? Under the help menu, select unlock Legacy Deluxe. After you enter the name and number select unlock. Best, Beth Gay Auburn, Alabama Donna Felina Roach wrote: Yesterday I purchased Legacy V2 7 Deluxe.

If you are dragging someone who is husband to a woman already in your file, are you expecting him to drop into the correct husband position? He won't do that because Legacy doesn't know that he is that woman's husband, until you tell it so. When you have done the drag and drop, click in the empty name area of the husband's side of the screen and then click Link to an existing person. Now find the newly imported man in the Name List and click on Select and he will then drop into the place where you want him.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing LONG!! url's
Hi Don, It does not matter to me what somewhat else recommends. The website URLs are here today and gone tomorrow. I agree with you. I cite the URL for the website only and from the additional information that I enter any person should be able to find the detail if the website is still in existence and the referenced subject has not been removed because of a lawsuit or whatever. It is a good idea to quote the text in case the information you cited disappears. I do hold the greatest respect for Elizabeth Mills and her contributions to the industry standard for genealogy citations; but her book is written for ideal situations and examples. I am sure that she would expect one to use common sense and evaluate each citation and the longevity of such before deciding on the specific citation. Best, Beth G. Auburn, AL Don Cook wrote: Keith, I for one have long ago abandoned any attempt to use URL's of this nature in citations. You have pointed to one problem and the other is that with the nature of URL's and web-design and re-design and re-design and ... the URL by its very nature has little or no permanence to it. From what I can see you are looking at an obituary on Ancestry.com referencing a Bage. To me, the citation would require that you acknowledge that it was from Ancestry.com and the search parameters that will allow others to locate it, such as the name, where published originally, date published, etc. These items should be taken from the item viewed not the ones you used for the search, it can be different. Many of these issues are being foisted off on us because E. S. Mills says this is the way it should be and we all are jumping on it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Witness Information
Hi Philip,
I use the event Associates for witness information. I cannot remember if
this event is in Legacy or if I added as a custom event.
Associates is a standard tag in gedcom.
ASSO {Associates}:= An indicator to link friends, neighbors, relatives,
or associates of an individual.

Hi Gail,
Thanks for the info regarding the export of witness information.
As an after thought I mentioned a birth being reported by someone, usually
the mother or the father or a relative, which would be a different type of
event from a marriage in the presence of two people. Of course the
information could be entered in the notes and maybe this inforamtion could
be set up as a citation?
The reason why the witness information field is important to me is that I keep
seeing the same surenames over and over, usually it is a mother or father or
in-law, which is reflective of family interaction, which helps to add life to the
research.
Any thoughts or am I going over ground that has been covered before with
suggestions that have already been offered to Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] How can I recover Family Search Resource File 4.0?
LeRoy, I have a Family Search Family History Resource File Viewer, 4.0 on CD that was included with the Family Search 1880 United States Census and National Index. Is this the file? That should have nothing to with Legacy. The PE button is the Passage Express button.

[LegacyUG] Events List style reports unsatisfactory
Thanks Jenny and Cathy for responding. I have decided to use the narrative sentences to allow the word wrap and to obtain the format that I prefer. I need to alter the sentences for 15 events; I have currently completed 3. Must say that this changes my outlook somewhat. I had dismissed other programs because they did not offer a list style for events. Since I now plan to use these sentences in Legacy to obtain my desired result; I may return to reexamine the pros and cons of other programs as well. Best regards, B. G.

[LegacyUG] Events List style reports unsatisfactory
Hello list, I really enjoy Legacy and the data input but the output is not working for me. I chose to use Legacy because it offered the list style for events as well as narrative but the reports that I have examined are not useful. The only report that works properly is the chronology report. Testing the family group sheet and the individual report both reports cut short my description and render the report useless. The format for the individual report is not what I wish to have in a list of events. One example: In the Legacy program for the event type Associates I have the date and location entered and fact description is entered as : Neighbors: William Barker William Parry. In the individual report this translates to: Associates, Neighbors: Richard Tree and William Spencer, 10 Feb 1636/37 in James City County, V~ This one of my shortest fact descriptions so you can understand that several do not even show the date or location. My preference would be to have the date shown after the event type. I will report this as a bug; but wanted to alert anyone considering Legacy for the list option. Best regards, B. G.

Re: [LegacyUG] Book-Descendant report problem with creating PDF or RTF format

Re: [LegacyUG] Global spell checker and formatting codes
Thanks Ron, I will use the option you suggested until the formatting codes are removed from the text.

I just received a message from you to the Legacy list that was about 9000 KB. I don't know what it contained because I had to go to my server and delete it to stop the download.

Re: [LegacyUG] File ID assistant and deleting duplicates
Hi Cathy, I guess I am brain dead. The reply below was supposed to be to the search information. The file ID assistant is another story. When you use a name + number, and reference the document location for more than one citation, does this same name + number show up multiple times in the list and if so why? I have tried alternate entries, such as Frederick Thompson, 1 Nancy Coker; Frederick Thompson Nancy Coker; and Frederick Thompson Nancy Coker, 1. The same file name repeats itself on the list for each occasion that I reference it. Is this the way it is designed? Kindest regards, Beth G.

[LegacyUG] Event Clipboard
Great feature. Not only does the event clipboard copy and paste the event; it also copies the source and citation. Thanks to Legacy for this feature. I have the Deluxe edition; but according to the help section this feature is available on the Standard as well. Very useful when you have multiple people in your database involved in the same event. Thanks Legacy. Kindest regards, Beth G.

Starting person Hello. I selected someone else to be the Set Relationships to person, so when she sees anyone, it will show how that person is related to her. Now, I am trying to get Legacy to open the family file, and start with her. It wants to start with *me*. Any idea on how to change it?

Re: [LegacyUG] List Messages Problems
Thanks Ken and Sherry, I am back on the mailing list. I subscribe to both lists and first used the Rootsweb mailing list until I discovered that most of the activity was on Legacy's mailing list. I would welcome the change to the Rootsweb mailing list and have subscribed to many of the lists for a number of years and never had any problems.My thoughts were the same as Dave's; would solve the digest problem and other problems. Sorry that you experienced problems Mary. Kindest regards, Beth G. - Original Message - From: Mary Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Dave Naylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find it so interesting that users are complaining about this mailing list Well, only *some* users are complaining ... not me! If everyone was to switch over to the RootsWeb Legacy mailing list then all current mailing list problems should be solved Rather a sweeping statement. Personally I have had bad experience with Rootsweb Lists, I avoid them unless there's no alternative.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Standard and Deluxe combined
I know that I sent this message several days ago, but have been off list. I did read the replies on the archives. One reply from Cathy indicated that I could get a list of facts in reports rather than the narrative sentences. I only find this available in the event report. Again I ask is there anyway to combine the 2 programs? I want Legacy Standard regarding the fact entry and fact lists in all reports and Legacy Deluxe for the other features. I dislike the narrative sentences so don't bother to tell me that I can override etc. I am not looking for a report with manufactured narrative sentences. Not trying to offend anyone but it seems that on every forum when I enter a query regarding a non-narrative program, everyone is always very helpful about suggesting programs with the sentences and very few have decent reports with fact list. Can one have Legacy Standard and Deluxe on the same computer? Kindest regards, Beth G.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Standard and Legacy Deluxe
Dear List, I have Legacy Deluxe but dislike the narrative fact sentences. As I recall Legacy standard does not have the fact sentences. Is there a method to combine the two to my liking? If I revert to Legacy standard I lose certain features. With Legacy standard can I produce a descendant or ancestry report that includes notes, sources, and a list of facts. With Legacy Deluxe, the only report that I have found that has the option to use a list of facts vs. sentences is the Event report. Kindest regards, Beth g.
