Why not just make a backup of your database and give it a try? You can
always restore from the backup if results are not what you expect.

Thanks Dennis, Jenny Benson did just that and gave me the answer. I had it
drilled in to me when I was a kid growing up, if you did not know the
answer, ask, someone will know.

CE -Original Message- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of John Magyari Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 8:33 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Charting The Chart you are describing is sometimes referred to as a "Blood relationship chart", which is great to show families, children and to have at family reunions. I've created several of these for reunions and family members. And also find that most of my family members seem to spend more time looking at this type a chart to see who they are related to vs just their own ancestry tree. Sometimes people also want to print an "All-In-One Chart" which would include everybody you've recorded in your database. With large databases this is sometimes unpractical because it's just to big. What I do with All-In-One Charts is create subset databases: For example I'll tag a branch of a tree and then tag people I'm not sure if connected but possibly, create a gedcom. Then create an All-In-One Chart. This has been helpful when trying to get others to view the section I'm working and I find it very helpful for myself. Of the charts I use I find I use the above "All-In-One" and via a "All-In-One" chart create a "Blood Relationship Charts" for about 65% of all charts I create. Of the 8 or 9 different packages I've tried in the past only one company seems to do a very good job in this area. Currently we do not have these Chart Types in Legacy. Another type of Chart I've been requested to do is an Hour Glass Chart based on all Children as the center node Ex. 2 Sisters and 1 Brother all married Create an Hour glass Chart that includes all Ancestors of above 3 Children and their spouses and then the direct descendants of the 3 children. A few people have asked for their Charts to be created with their a Step Parent vs their biological parent who skipped out of their lives (that they don't even care about the skipped out biological parent). An All-In-One Chart here is great because you can just delete the unwanted Biological Parent Tree limb (person and their ancestors) from the Chart and your left with the functional Family. The Family Chart Most programs on the market limit their charts to biological ancestors and descendants and their spouses. Based on human nature I would imagine that sometimes a few listed in genealogical databases as biological parents are in fact only the married parents. Charts are great when you can create the kinds of charts "YOU" want to create. I created a Chart to show my mom of all her relatives, she has help me collect info over the last 5 years. The chart ended up being 6 feet high and 20 feet long. She had no idea that we had collected so much info. john Jenny M Benson wrote: rck wrote Hi, is it possible to create an ancestor chart that also shows selected cousins, uncles, aunts, etc.?

[LegacyUG] Adopted child
I have a family in which the last child was adopted. I went in to the Children's settings and marked her as adopted in relationship to Father and Mother. When I run a Potential Problem Report it shows the child as being born more than 20 years after the parents marriage. The mother would have been to old to have a child at her age anyway. Do I have to unlink the child from the parents or is there another step I should take? At this stage I am not sure who the child's biological parents, I have a good idea but cannot prove it yet/ever. I have found a birth that fits and a notice from a paper telling of the death of a man thrown from a horse who later died and family stories that this man was a family friend.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted Child
Hi Angela, Many thanks for this info, I will do as you say but will leave the adopted parents as the preferred couple as he took their name and was raised by them. They did leave his original surname as the third christian name. Just had another look through the family file and discovered that I have him already entered as a son to his biological parents. Discovered further problems, the New Zealand BMDs show his birth in 1984 instead of 1894(transposition of figures?) and his mother's name is the adoptive mother's name. Total confusion, I suspect someone was telling porkies!!! I will see if I can contact a family member and ask if anyone now knows what actually happened, I am not holding my breath.. The chap concerned died during the WW1 so he did not marry and there were no children. Thank you for trying to help me.

Then go to the child, click on the parent icon. Per your description it should show his aunt and uncle. If you would like, go to bottom of the page. Set relationship to mother as adoptive; and then you could do the same for the 'relationship to father'. Next click "link to existing parents' Select the appropriate parents from the marriage list that pops up. It then returns you to the 'parent screen'. Highlight their names and then you can set their relationship as "biological" Finally click/highlight on whichever couple you wish to show on the family view. This will be the preferred couple.

[LegacyUG] Adopted Child
I have just imported a Gedcom file from FTM and was checking that all was OK with the file after the import. I ran a Potential Problems Report and it showed a child who had been born in 1894, three years after the father's death. After some research on the family I discovered that the child was the wife's sister's son (her nephew) and the wife adopted him after the deaths of their husbands who both died in 1891. I have changed the connection to Adopted but would now like to show his real parents.

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] Error 508 ... Root Folder?
Ron, This is my last word on this as no doubt there will be a complaint about it being off topic. If you look at the third paragraph in my e-mail you will note I mention stripping the Registry of Nortons. The problem is that you never get it all, they seem to have the ability to insert files that cannot be removed or are named in such a way as to have no connection to Nortons. I can find my way around the Registry without any problem and am experienced in removing programs in this manner I am not the only one that has come up against this problem, I have been in touch with others on forums with the same problem and they all concurred that a format was the only way to get rid of all Nortons files in the registry. Thank you for your thoughts. Colin. - Original Message - From: ronald ferguson To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 6:43 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Error 508 ...

I got rid of all the left behinds by going into the Register and deleting everything related to the program. I do not recommend doing this if you do not know what you are doing and creating a Restore Point first is essential.

So what you do is change the drive letter on your Pen drive to say "R"
which should be a letter that would not normally be used when plugging in
your Pen drive. That way when you plug it into different computers the
drive letter will stay the same. QED.{;-)

That should work, but only if she sets the drive letter to "R" on _EVERY_
computer she uses her flash drive on. :)
Toddyou are so right, I neglected to say that and I

If your two computers have a different number of drives, that could be the
cause of your problems with Legacy on a flash drive. It will have different
drive letters on different computers.
Hmmm, that was clear as mud...
Let me try again, the drive letter assigned to your flash drive may not be
the same on both computers. If that's so, then one computer may not know
where to look for your files.

Apart from ensuring that your system meets the minimum requirements to
run the program, I don't think there is anything that is specific to
Legacy. General computer use and maintenance is off-topic for this
list. Have you considered joining a newsgroup or mailing list
specifically aimed at inexperienced computer users? Or a good book or
an online training course is nothing is available to you in your area?

Re: [LegacyUG] More countries
Robin,
I note one of your photos with the heading;
1898: Dog Tax War, soldiers, volunteers (?) and Maori.
The Maori were actually the captured Mahurehure leaders under Police Guard
after their surrender.
They were from left to right; Romana te Paehangi, Hone Meti, Honi Toia
(standing), Wiremu Makara, and Rekini Pehi.
Regards,
Colin.

Hi Jill, no worries and no need to apologise.
I should have realised that it was possible you might have put the files in

Why does it say the "same family file"? It is a different file,
composed yesterday, under a different name, although a lot of the
information is to be found in both files.

I am a new user of Legacy and still finding my way. I have come across a
small problem and wondered how others would handle it.
I have just found my ggg grandfather Joseph THOMAS and his wife Grace in
the
English 1891 Census living in Hackney, London with their daughter Emily
and
husband George J. PULLUM and their four children.
I have been looking for Joseph for many months now and a friend found
him
for me, the enumerator had written his name as Joseph T. PULLEN, no
wonder
he was so hard to find.{:-)
I then looked for the marriage of George and Emily and found his name as
PULLAM which was typewritten.
My next step was to check his birth which was handwritten and the
spelling
was then PULLIN which I suspect is the correct spelling for his surname.
My question is; how do I handle the different spellings of his surname?
Do I make the assumption that the birth spelling is correct and just use
that in all instances or should I put in the Marriage notes the spelling
used there and in the Birth notes the spelling used there or is there a
better way.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

No, as it its one of his officially given names I would enter it as a
quoted name ("Archibald George "George" in the firstname field) and use
George in Reports.
My daughter by my first husband has his surname on her Birth Certificate
and all official records for about the first 10 or 11 years of her life.
She then decided she would like to be known by the name Benson, which
was that of my second husband and she has used that name exclusively
ever since (30+ years and counting!) Because it was her father's name
and her birthname it is her first surname which is the main name in my
family file and Benson is entered as an AKA but some people might
reverse them on the grounds that almost no one knows her by her first
surname and she used it for such a small proportion of her life.

You should always record the exact spelling used in each document, so the Source for the Marriage should indicate the spelling used on the document you are citing for that, the Source for Birth should indicate the spelling used on the document you are citing for that and so on. As for which spelling you use as the "main" name, I generally use the one found in the Birth documentation unless this varies from "the norm" for that family. For example, one of my main lines is Bloor and because of the local pronunciation was sometimes recorded as Blower. In one instance, one child of a Bloor family has been registered as Blower: I record this fact but still use Bloor as his main name. I know some people would record all the spelling variations as AKAs but personally I do not. I take AKA - Also Known As - literally and use it when a person is actually known by a different name at some point in their life, like for example a person adopting a professional or stage name or a child taking on the surname of their stepfather. I consider these spelling variations to be precisely that, spelling variations, not different names by which the person was known. In earlier times spelling was much more fluid but the basic name was still the same name. -- Jenny M Benson Thanks Jenny, it would appear I am on the same or similar page. I have done what you suggest but also used the AKA. There seems to be two schools of thought there so I will see how it developes. If needs be I will change it later as this is the only one I have like this at the moment. My father was Baptised Archibald George but was known all his life as George, would you classify that as an AKA? Colin.

Sorry to get you all impatient.{:-)
I had another look at Gould's website and found with further inspection that an

I went back and had another look at Gould's website and found additional

In my opinion the initial wording was a tad ambiguous and led the reader to
believe they were getting a more Australian/N.Z. orientated program, not
so..{;-(

I don't understand this as Legacy's website makes no mention of an A/NZ
specific version, only that the English version includes 4 language
options, which include Australian English.
See
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/InternationalLegacyVersions.asp
I have a vague idea that somewhere along the installation process I had
to select which language version I wanted to use, but I could be quite
wrong about that.
I suggest you take it up with Support.

Best way for Internet Explorer - shut IE down, right click on the link on the desktop, select PROPERTIES, then under BROWSING HISTORY, select DELETE, then pick your item(s) to delete (I usually do a DELETE ALL, but that can also get rid of SOME useful cookies - your choice). Yes, you can do this cleanup with IE up and running, but . . . And once your cache is purged, empty your trash can too (er - I guess it is called recycle bin now). Then restart IE. You MIGHT also want to try deleting your Windows TEMP folder, but this SHOULD NOT impact the browser - usually! There are tools for this, but I don't recall them. I usually delete them manually, but that's risky if you don't know what you are doing, so I'm not gonna go into details on that process.

Subject: [LegacyUG] All in One Report.
I have a friend to whom I recommended Legacy, I suggested he use the free
version for a while to see if it would do what he required.
After looking at the type of reports available in Legacy compared to FTM
and
PAF he found he could not replicate the All in One Report in the free
version of Legacy that is available in FTM .
His question was, is it possible to do this in the De Luxe version and if
so, how?
I tried to do this in my De Luxe version and was not successful, I
obviously
don't know enough about the program yet, being a very new user.{;-).
Can anyone tell me how to make an All in One report in Legacy similar to
the
one in FTM.
I look forward to any suggestions from this very knowledgeable group.

Ron,
Many thanks for that, I thought I had had a fairly thorough look but
believed I may have missed something.
I will have to keep my fingers crossed that Charting puts out a version with
an All in Report.

Are you saying that there is no way to edit the registry in Vista to

If so, another reason for me not to change over from XP Pro.{;-)

[LegacyUG] All in One Report.
I have a friend to whom I recommended Legacy, I suggested he use the free
version for a while to see if it would do what he required.
After looking at the type of reports available in Legacy compared to FTM and
PAF he found he could not replicate the All in One Report in the free
version of Legacy that is available in FTM .
His question was, is it possible to do this in the De Luxe version and if
so, how?
I tried to do this in my De Luxe version and was not successful, I obviously
don't know enough about the program yet, being a very new user.{;-).
Can anyone tell me how to make an All in One report in Legacy similar to the
one in FTM.
I look forward to any suggestions from this very knowledgeable group.

Bob,
No, there's no way to change the installation folder for Legacy Charting.
It's installed to the Windows "approved" folder.
It runs fine on Vista in the c:\Program Files folder.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Subject: [LegacyUG] V7 Legacy Charting
I rcvd my Legacy 7 upgrade, I've installed it and entered my reg key, and
done the update.
I normally installed previous versions of Legacy in a folder called:
C:\winprog\Legacyx (where "x" is the version number)
And, since there are problems w Legacy ver 6 when it is installed on
Vista,
I figured staying with this same directory naming convention would be a
wise
choice for Legacy ver 7 The laptop that I'll be installing it on is
running Vista. The desktop where I just installed it is running XP (it is
my understanding that we are still allowed to install it on both a home
unit
and a laptop).
The install appeared to go OK, and Legacy did, in fact, install into
C:\winprog\Legacy
HOWEVER, the charting program installed into:
C:\Program Files\Millennia\LegacyCharting7
I don't even remember seeing a prompt to override this. (No, I did not
install the pre-release of the charting program).
Is there a way to easily get the charting program into MY normal program
directory, especially when I install it on the Vista laptop? Or is the
charting program "Vista friendly"?
P.S. - I haven't been able to do much "playing" with ver 7 yet, but so far
I
like what I've seen.
Thanks,
Bob

I transferred 63,000 names from Rootsweb to Legacy about a month ago. My Rootsweb database represented 8 years of diligent research. Apart from some small glitches, the transfer went fairly well... I thought. Today, I was updating my Rootsweb database using the new Legacy program and found some missing data from my "Notes" section. Over the years, I have copied sections of books and related research info into the "notes" section of Rootsweb... no problem. Now, when I check some of the ancestors who had lengthy notes, the notes section in Legacy is BLANK. How can this be Please tell me there is a small button somewhere that I need to push.

There is indeed a *much* faster method! Just click on the little box
bottom right of the family view that shows "M:" of "M:nnn" (where n is
the MRIN of the current couple on screen) and the Goto MRIN box will pop
up.
The other 2 boxes, each side of the "M:nnn" one show "H:nnn" and/or
"W:nnn" which are the RINs of the husband and wife but you can click on
either of them to enter a RIN for any individual, you don't have to
click on the H button to go to a male or W button to go to a female.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging family files, advantages/disadvantages
Thank you Elizabeth, I have taken this advice also given by others on the
Group and I am now in the process of merging all my files and what a process
it is too.
I note you mention using your oldest child as a starting point for
relationship calculation, somone else mentioned that also. What is the
reason for that, why pick a particular person?

Ron,
I don't get that option when I right click in his main panel, all I get are
two options, Add a husband or Edit the marriage and neither allow me to
remove the "Unknown"
Margaret on the list suggested I alter the Data Format in Options and tick
Leave Blank and this has worked once I shut the program down and restarted.
Thanks to you both for your help.

Many thanks for your reply to my query.
Another Legacy user wrote to me direct with similar reasons for combining my

and it's capablilities.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Merging family files, advantages/disadvantages
Hi Colin,
I too, started out with separate files for my family based on my parents
and my husband's parents. As you said, each file was easier to keep on
separate floppies for backup.
With the advent of CD's and DVD's and portable harddrives for backup,
space
is no longer issue. Also Legacy is different to FTM in that it links to
multimedia files (photos etc) rather then including the actual file in its
database which FTM used to do. This means that your legacy backup file can
be small even if you have a lot of people in your file. Some people have
many thousands of people in one file.
I now combine all my family into one file for the reasons below.
1. You only have to update someone once, for example your children might
be
in 2 or 4 files - with 4 files you might need to update their information
4
times. If you only have one file, you only update once.
2. Intermarriages between family members. It was common for families to
intermarry. I have many instances where cousins have married this would
now
make it very difficult to split my file and siblings within two families
have married. - two brothers to two sisters etc.
Legacy also has the ability to have two or more unconnected trees within
the
same file. Say you have a great uncle Thomas Moore, you find information
on
a Tom Moore in the same town but you don't know if he is your Thomas. You
can enter his information as a separate person or tree. If later you
confirm
that they are one and the same you can merge their information. If you
find
that they are different you can document your finds and delete what you
don't want to keep.
I hope that this helps.
Regards
Anne

of the different branches seperated as backup then was to floppy disc
which
held 1.44Mb and each branch would fit on one floppy.
With today's technology, ie. Cds, DVDs and USB backup drives there is no
problem with the size of a file.
With my family I have two files, one for Liddell, my father's branch, and
one for McWilliams, my mother's branch. In the case of my wife's side I
have
three files as her father married twice and there are children from both
marriages.
My question is, what are the advantages/disavantages of combining all
these
files into one large file?
Is this a matter of personal preference only or are there distinct
advantages in combining them?
Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Colin in South East Qld where it is clear blue skies and 23c, not bad for
an
autumn day.{;-)

Colin,
1. Yes you are correct, in Tree finder a Tree of one only, is an unlinked
individual.
2. Location List is at View>Mater Lists>Location and gives a list of the
locations in your file and who they are connected with.
3. Potential Problem Report is at Tools>Potential Problems and will give
you a list of all the potential problems which you choose to search for. Not
all of these may be problems eg a child born before parents' marriage and as
was said, you can prevent these showing again by clicking the "Exclude from
Potential Problems" button in the Individual Screen.

Hello Kirsten,
Thank you for these tips, I will have a look and see if this has happened
to my import. I just checked the first one you suggested and my name comes
up with a RIN of 1 and a count of 945.
I get three other names with different RIN numbers and a count of 1 each,
from this I can assume that these persons are not connected to my tree, is
that right?
What do you mean by my "Location" List, I checked the Help file and nothing
shows for that.
You suggest I run Error Report but I am unable to find where this is, I
looked again in the Help File and had no luck, I must be a bit slow today,
can't find anything{;-)
Thank you for your welcome. I have made the necessary alterations in Outlook

Re: [LegacyUG] New User of Legacy seeking advice
Hi Penny,
I checked the number in FTM and then after I had done the import and they were
all there plus the fact thatall my notes were there too was a bonus. The ony
thing I noticed was that some words in the Notes were split and another kind
person on this list has told me how to stop that.
I am using FTM 2006 which is version 15, I could not see the sense in buying
any later version for little if any gain.
I will keep FTM running in tandem for a while as there are a number of family
members who use this program, who knows I might be able to convert them.{;-)
We don't really have a winter here where we live, just a few cooler days over a
few weeks. We are well into Autumn and it is 27c, I love it.{;-)

I don't think I really had any major difficulties, Colin. There were a
couple of minor things that didn't quite translate, but the major data was
all intact (people were where they were supposed to be in the database & the
sources & notes were all attached as I had them, etc.). The very few minor
things were easy enough to fix.
Check to see how many individuals you have in your FTM db. During import,
Legacy will tell you how many it's importing; that way you'll be reassured
that all your people made it through.
Later (after I'd made enough changes to my file to cause me not to want to
do a re-import), I discovered that I wished I had told Legacy to put all my
FTM notes into the "research notes" rather than into "general notes".
(Something you might want to consider, depending on what your current notes
look like and what your preferences are.)
What version of FTM are you using? I ran backwards from the latest one - it
sounded like a total disaster. My suggestion would be to give exporting a
gedcom from FTM a try and see what your import into Legacy looks like. I
found that fiddling around with my files after I got them into Legacy was a
great way to start learning to use it.
No, I don't run FTM at all any more - I found shortly after getting Legacy
that FTM didn't fill any needs that Legacy couldn't handle better. (I don't
work for 'em ... honest! LOL I just really like the software.)
I'm still finding out where all the buttons and hootchits are that make the
bells and whistles on Legacy do their thing, but it's not so difficult as to
kill the fun.

earlier discussions and recently shared with a cousin. Thank you, Leon. It
should be helpful in moving your data by GEDCOM from FTM to Legacy:

Hello Glen,
Thank you for your welcome.
I have been clicking on all the different buttons/icons tosee what they do and
I am very impressed with this program.
I will try your suggestion about the mouse cursor on the Family tab, I was not
aware of that.
I thought I had posted my messages in plain text, my apologies if I did not.

Welcome.
You might want to try clicking on areas in Legacy other than on the icons.
For example, on the family tab, place your mouse cursor between the main
couple on the screen and to the left or right of them. You will see that
you can click and rotate through different people.

Welcome.
In my experience the best way of learning the program is to play
with it. Click on everything (right and left) and you will rapidly find what
can and cannot be done. The Help files are always up to date, more so than
the User Guide, and are extremely comprehensive. You may also have noticed
that the help page on the various screens are context helps for that
particular screen.

Re: [LegacyUG] New User of Legacy seeking advice
Hello Rich, I wrote to a chap in my State whose name is on the Legacy website and asked about a User group but I have not heard back from him yet, he may well be away.

Re: [LegacyUG] New User of Legacy seeking advice
Ronald, thank you for your suggestions. I have had a look around the progam and
clicked on most of the icons and I did have a quick look through the Help files
when I was importing my gedcom file.
I will have another look at the Help pages on the various screens too.
As Jenny said, if I get stuck I can ask on the List.{;-)

Colin,
Welcome.
In my experience the best way of learning the program is to play with it.
Click on everything (right and left) and you will rapidly find what can and
cannot be done. The Help files are always up to date, more so than the User
Guide, and are extremely comprehensive. You may also have noticed that the help
page on the various screens are context helps for that particular screen.

For a start, work through the Tutorial in Legacy Help. This will take you through all the basics and not cost anything at all. You might want to consider the Legacy Training CDs at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/videos.asp You can view the first one on line and preview the others to see if you think it will be worth you purchasing them. Any specific problems you run into, if you can't find the answer in the Help file, you will almost certainly find someone here who can point you in the right direction. As well as all that, click the "Legacy Home" tab in the Legacy program and look under "Support" in the bottom right-hand corner. There are links to all sorts of useful stuff there. -- Jenny M Benson - Thank you Jenny for your suggestions, I will try them and if as you say, I get stuck I can ask on the List. Colin.

[LegacyUG] New User of Legacy seeking advice
Hi Folks, I am a long time user of Family Tree Maker and decided to give Legacy a try as so many have told me that it is the best. There are considerable differences between the two programs and I would like to hear any suggestions on what you think is the best way to aquaint myself with the program. I have downloaded the free version 6 and made a gedcom copy of one of my FTM files and imported it into Legacy, so far all seems OK. I am now looking at purchasing the Deluxe version with the printed version of the Users Guide but I believe it is out of print and will not be available till version 7 comes out. Any suggestions on how I can improve my knowledge of Legacy will be greatly appreciated. Colin in Oz.
