[LegacyUG] source template for obituary collection?

Re: [LegacyUG] how to print Event Address Coordinates
Bruce and Leo, This is what I was trying to avoid. I have chosen to show only city, county, state in the burial location. (Because that's what the Tutorials taught, and I always wanted to be the teacher's pet!) I may have to change, but that will require that I figure out how to use Dennis' wonderful Ltools, which I've purchased, but haven't taken time to learn. Leo's report is a good one, but it just gives the lat/long of the Burial places NOT the Cemetery addresses. I'll mull this over a little longer and decide which task I want to undertake - changing all my burial locations to include the cemetery name or manually going through the address list to see which ones need lat/long info. Thanks for your input. I did learn a little from both of you about customizing reports, so this was not a totally wasted effort. Always looking for the positive!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering US Census Information
Paula, I primarily use the Family Group Report. I've found that this helps me to see how my Events and Sources will appear in other reports. The other reports I use the most are the Ancestor Report and the Descendant Report, depending on who's asking for information. I'm still in Search and Source mode for most of my lines, so I haven't tackled the bigger Book Reports yet. I use the Pedigree Report for my files, just to keep a handle on who fits where in the tree, since I'm working on my family as well as my husband's. I've certainly learned that I tend to make things more complex than they need to be and I'm trying to work on that. That's why I'm willing to learn from the long-time pros in the LUG! Dede P.S. My 24 year old son's favorite is the Ancestor Fan Chart, from Legacy Charting. He didn't really care about genealogy until I printed his for the first time. It was an AHA moment for him!

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth certificate as a master source
Boyd, In the Source Detail entry screen there is a place for ID of person. I guess I'm more of a lumper when it comes to birth certificates, since most of mine are issued in the state of Miss. Legacy seems to lean toward lumping birth certificates, since the ID for each person is at the Detail level. However, even though you are citing each birth certificate as a Master Source, you can still enter the ID of the person at the Detail level for that Master Source. Does that make sense? Dede Holden On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 4:57 AM, Boyd Miller bo...@vodafone.net.nz wrote: I treat each birth, marriage and death certificate as a master source because information from each certificate relates to a number of different people. A birth certificate can give father's and mothers full names, ages (hence approximate birth date), occupations and birthplaces, parents marriage date and place, and birth informant. Other certificates similarly have data on several people apart from the certificate subject person(s). I am trying to cite a birth certificate issued in Scotland. The template for a birth certificate comes from Birth recordsBirth certificateAll countries except.Created at state/provincial levelbasic format (Most other options within this certificate string get you to a similar set of fields) There does not appear to be a field to record whose birth the certificate relates to. If I use this master source to, for instance, source the parent's marriage place or the father's occupation, there is no way in the printed out source list that comes from this template, to tell which certificate the information was taken from. I can title the document in the Source List Name to uniquely identify it, but that does not print out in the reports. The same issue relates to citing marriage and death certificates - there does not appear to be a field to record the name of the principal player. These templates are thus of no use at all, or am I missing something? Do I have to go back to the Basic source format and use the Title field to get a source that tells me whose birth is being recorded? How does anybody else cite a birth certificate?

Re: [LegacyUG] An apparent bug?
Jon, I was able to duplicate the problem just as you described. I've not had occasion to use I, because I don't have any II's in my database. It would be frustrating to me, since this is a suffix, and not a given name or surname. You can choose to have Legacy ignore the message for this particular individual. The message I received indicates Name Suffix then goes on to say Given Name or Surname I'm sure this is not a big problem that the programmers will put high up on the list of things to fix, but I did want you to know that it is a Legacy issue and not a particular problem with your individual database.

[LegacyUG] adding Military even bug?

In the Individual screen, Events/Facts section, click Add. For Event, enter Military. Once I select Military, then click Tab to move to the Description, all the fields except Event Name disappear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
Cathy, To answer the first part of your question, I do have a repository Personal Possession of the Author. I use this for any original document, book, etc., that I actually own and possess. To answer the second part, I just did a quick test on one of my citations of a book that is in the local library. I have a copy of the page that I am citing. I entered a Comment in the Source Detail, copy of this page in the author's possession. When I ran the report, I chose End notes, but I unclicked the option to combine multiple citations into one paragraph. The comment appeared in both instances of the citation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking files in Picture Gallery
Ron, Are you adding them as pictures under Source Detail (or even as the Master Source)? And when you add them, are you adding them as Pictures or Files? And, are they saved as jpg or tiff or some other picture file, OR are they saved as pdf or doc files? I've just recently had to redo several links, because they were pdf files that I accidentally added as pictures, rather than files. You might want to run this report - Options, Customize, Locations, Test All Multimedia paths. This will give you a report of any missing links.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Unable to copy scanned documents into Legacy events or Notes
Bill, I've been following this thread with interest. I must say I agree with Janis. Transcribing the documents, even just the essential parts, has helped me more than once to put some pieces of the puzzle together that I might not have seen if I were simply scanning and saving. Just my FWIW.

I always find that I learn so much in the process of transcribing. I see things that I didn’t notice before, and somehow I just absorb the document in a more meaningful way. I do have OCR software, and I do not use it (for genealogy) at all. Do a Google search for genealogical transcription and abstraction guidelines, for method. The NGS and BCG sites offer help on this subject. In brief: Preserve original spelling. You can insert your corrections in parenthesis, if required for clarification. There are divided opinions about line breaks, but I prefer to break each line where it breaks in the original document, unless it is so lengthy that the line breaks become absurdly cumbersome. The transcription should carry your name, contact address (at least email), and the date. The transcription should carry a source citation. If it is a deed, it should carry the date that the deed was drawn, the date that it was proven or acknowledged (or the dower examined), and the date of filing or recording. Consistency is the key, but some people use italics for anything not in the body of the document, and regular type face for the transcription material. If it is a printed form, which has been filled in by pen, you may choose to distinguish the printed portions from the penned portions by underlining the latter, or using two different fonts. Sometimes there is no quick fix – and sometimes, the quick fix isn’t really a fix. Just take a deep breath, and begin to read and understand your documents. Sorry if this seems pedantic – it is genuinely not my intent. Just trying to pass along what it has taken me many years to learn (and am still learning).

[LegacyUG] source formatting on Family Group Report
I have a question regarding source formatting on the Family Group Report. I'm using the Sourcewriter Family Group Sheet-Privately Held template. I have source detail and a comment on the detail. Why is there a semi-colon inserted at the beginning of the detail text and the beginning of the comment text? There is already a semi-colon at the end of the source citation. (I'm not real sure about this semi-colon, either.) If I skip a line at the beginning of the detail, the semi-colon appears on a line by itself. If I don't skip a line, a line is skipped in the report anyway, and another semi-colon appears at the beginning of the detail. I know that one of the solutions is to use the Basic Source writer, but the Sourcewriter feature is one of the reasons I am a Legacy user. I am a relative newbie when it comes to citing sources and there are so many options that I don't want to have to stop and plow through EE every time I cite a new kind of source. I also don't want to use the override feature, unless that is my only option. But I don't think I should have to use the override, as this is not an unusual source citation. It seems to me that this might be a small bug. Can anyone else duplicate this? If not, I'll completely delete the source and re-enter it to see what happens. Thanks for your help.

(I'm not real sure about this semi-colon, either.) Dede, There are many templates in which Legacy inserts punctuation for you. Yes, it inserts a semi-colon before the detail text or comments, probably based upon a slightly inaccurate reading of the Family Group Sheet model in Evidence Explained, p. 108. Or are you saying you are getting two semi-colons in a row? (I'm only getting one). I myself do not use this template, and am still searching for a usable replacement that does not require an override, for another reason. The EE model on p. 108 is clearly based upon a Collection, not an individual FGS. The template assumes that the author/compiler of the group sheet and the current owner are one and the same person. It does not allow me to indicate that Jane Doe compiled/authored a group sheet in 1994 that Sam Smith owns in 2009.

[LegacyUG] merging and restoring temporary backup questions
I need help! I have just done a simple manual merge of two individuals. I did a backup, not to my flash drive, but just the temporary backup. I remember some recent conversation about this type vs. the zipped backups. Once I completed the merge, I printed an individual report to be sure all the information is there. I got very interesting results. There are sources listed on the report that DO NOT appear on the individual's list of sources. That's when I realized that when you perform a merge, you need to check ALL the tabs, not just the first screen. (Just a word of warning to those who might make the same mistake I have made!) Now, for the question. I've found the backup. It's a .usr file. But when I try to restore the family file, it will only allow me to look for files with a .zip extension. What do I need to do? I don't want to go back to the full backup I did last night, because I've done quite a bit of work this morning. I can add the sources to the individual if I have to, but I'm thinking this backup should work. Any advice will be appreciated. Dede Holden
[LegacyUG] Re: merging and restoring temporary backup questions
Never mind. I just realized that the sources are coming from the father's information, not the individual that I merged. I've also realized that the temporary merge backup is only good as long as you don't close Legacy. That means you don't perform a restore, you just undo the merge. If this is not exactly right, I hope someone will let me know. It is a little misleading, if you're not familiar with the difference in the two kinds of backups. Lesson learned...when performing a merge - check ALL the tabs in the Merge window, not just the first one. If anyone else has merge/backup advice, I'd like to hear about it.

I've looked at the Missing Sources report. Here's my dilemma. The report is sorted by surname, starting with all those women who don't have a last name. Is there a way to sort by MRIN so that I could work on the whole family at one time, going down the list? Is it better to assign one of the visible tag numbers so that I can see at a glance who needs work? Has anyone else worked on adding missing sources?

Re: [LegacyUG] missing sources
I'm going to guess that what I want is not available. I want to sort by MRIN, not RIN. I have husbands and wives that are not even close to each other in the RIN numbers, but the MRIN would put them together. The number option button sorts by RIN. I guess I'll have to come up with Plan B for a systematic way to work through those with no sources.

Because my family file is not huge (3,000) and I am frequently reviewing the main people of interest I find that is sufficient for me to find these other people if they crop up again in another context. I also have a pretty good memory for names in my file! However, I appreciate that this is rather a casual approach and would not suit someone who has an enormous file or a great many other people A few times in the past on LUG, people have mentioned the wish for Legacy to include a General Notes field, separate from the Notes attached to each Individual, where one could enter information relating to the whole file. Such a facility would be useful for recording the names of other people who may prove to be of interest. But it occurs to me that one could also create a To Do, putting something like Other People in Task needing to be done and just add the names to the Task Description as one comes across them.

[LegacyUG] Intellishare question

I have read the Help Center article and understand what I'm supposed to do when he sends me the file AFTER he's made changes.

But I'm wondering, what happens when the person you're sharing with is in another state and e-mail is the only way to transmit the files back and forth? Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this? The only problem that I can think of is the possibility that the file name I used for the e-mailed version (send to rick.fdb) was not a good name. When I exported to my jump drive, I used a one word file name. Could that explain the problem? Dede Holden

Re: [LegacyUG] Rel. Calc. and Back-up
Gene, I am only responding to your second observation about backups. The latest updates to Legacy 7 have included the backup date as part of the file name to be backed up. I am very happy about this update, because I was saving my backups by date anyway. This change has saved me much time, since I backup my files after every session. Of course, you will have to delete older backups to make room for the newer ones. I've always wanted my last two or three backups, at least, just in case I find something I need to go back several days to fix. This may be overkill, but I also alternate my backups between two jump drives, just in case one of them fails for some reason. I have a pretty recent backup on both of my jump drives.

Re: [LegacyUG] A question about Sourcing
Phil, I concur with Kirsten. I have several different newspapers as sources. In my Master List they are named Newspaper:Jackson Daily News, etc. This does indeed help you to quickly see if you already have a newspaper listed as a Master Source. I do the same thing with Books, Letters, Military Records, among others. I am sure I don't have as many sources as some on this list, but right now, this system is working for me. (By the way, I consider myself to be a splumper, splitting some sources and lumping others.) I'd like to hear if someone has a different view and why, especially if they have a large number of sources. Dede Holden On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Kirsten Bowman vik...@rvi.net wrote: Phil: The benefit to having a Master Source is to avoid repetitious typing by grouping together several source items that share common information. You could put all of your articles together under one Master Source called Newspapers or even use the artifacts or basic source template, but there would be very little common information to enter at the Master Source level. More typically, each newspaper would be a separate Master Source. I would begin the source list name with newspaper or news followed by the city or the newspaper name. This won't print in the source citation but it will group them together in your Master Source List so you can find them easily.

[LegacyUG] sourcing an edited work with many authors?
I have recently acquired two books with lots of information about several of my family lines. These books are Heritage books, published by Heritage Publishing Consultants in Alabama. The books contain many stories, genealogies, and pictures from Alabama. They have published one for each county. The stories are submitted by different individuals and most of them have referenced the sources they used. I want to include the specific submitter as the author of the material, but I want to use the book as my Master Source. This will probably turn out to be a lumping vs. splitting question, but I don't want to get too far into this and have to redo all my source entries. Here are my options as I see them so far: 1. Have one master source - the book itself. Use the page number and name of the story as the source detail and put the submitter's name in the comments section with the detail. 2. Have a master source for each story that I am citing - sort of like EE 12.64 Edited Works: Citing Chapter Author I started out using option 1, but now I'm leaning toward option 2 because some of these stories have so much info that it might be easier to enter the detail, as well as find the master source I want to use from the list, if the story names are given. However, I can't find a source template that really works for this. I know I can create my own using the basic source writer, but I do LOVE the templates! I value the opinion of this group, since I've learned so much from all of you. Let me know what you think. (BTW - I know these are all secondary sources and not to be trusted, especially since I've found errors regarding my own gg grandmother, so I'll do the appropriate verifying. I just want to get this part right.)

Re: [LegacyUG] definite source problem
Janis, Just a quick look at my grandfather's Individual report as well as Chronology report and here's what I find: There are sources for my father that appear on my grandfather's Chronology report, but they are appropriately cited to my father's events. The individual report does not include these sources, since my father is not shown on the report. I know how frustrating it can be when you can't explain why something is happening. Do these erroneous sources appear when you choose endnotes rather than footnotes? I've found that these two choices sometimes produce very different results. Sorry I can't be more help.

Perhaps this may help. Cary said: I'm desperate, so I tried to do this, BUT - None of the funky one line pages are in the reports or the Source Citations where I could change something. ALL of them are in the Bibliography. That's created by Legacy and there is no place for me to delete spaces etc. The first instance is in the listing for a web site where the source text includes the entire text of several gravestone epitaphs. Once that hit the bottom of a page, each line after that is on a separate page. Why would a bibliography include source text or comments anyway? The point of a bibliography is to be a LIST only. The paging problem did NOT occur on the same source in Source Citations. I also noted that the Bibliography continued below the page number and into the margin on another page rather than have a page break in that source. So the pagination is off both in NOT making a break in mid notes in one case and in breaking after every line in another. I suspect the base problem is including Source text (which is long in some cases) in the Bibliography at all.

Re: [LegacyUG] 7.0.0.53 Reported Bug?
Kirsten, Yesterday when I worked on this, I did have one occurrence of a citation that repeated in both scenarios - footnotes as well as endnotes. It was created before the 7.0.0.53 update, using the Sourcewriter - Newspaper template. It looked identical to me, but just to be sure, I deleted the second citation (burial). Then I copied the death event citation to the clipboard and pasted it to the burial. That cleared up the multiple citations on the endnote report. Is it possible for you to try this for your 1910 census that's causing you the problem? Dede On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 1:48 AM, Bruce Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No trouble, just hope I can help. I am on Legacy 7.0.0.53 using Windows XP SP2. For my test, I am using a family where I have an obituary for the wife that gives 4 details, so it is sourced (identically) 4 times. When I select endnotes, all 4 have the same footnote number which appears just once in the endnotes. When I select footnotes, each of the 4 instances have a different footnote number and the obituary appears 4 times in the footnotes. I am NOT using the SourceWriter at all for this family. The source was entered long before I upgraded to V7 and I have not changed it at all. When I include Events in the report (2 are sourced by the obituary), I get 6 numbers and 6 occurrences of the obituary in the footnotes, but just 1 number and 1 occurrence of the obituary if I check endnotes. I have changed a number of the other settings for the report but none of them seemed to make a difference (other than the footnote/endnote selection). As you say, there are likely several different bugs, but not just with templates. The only SourceWriter templates I have used so far are for cemetery markers, and not for this family. When you say you use the Descendant Book Report, I assume you are not referring to the Descendant Narrative Book Report, but I get the same results with both reports. I hope this adds some light to the situation. Anything more I can do to help?

[LegacyUG] V7 Repository Notes question/bug?
I've just discovered a curious thing. When you select an existing repository for a new source created using the SourceWriter, the Notes window appears to be an active window, with a blinking cursor. There is even a greyed out scroll bar. However, you cannot add notes here. You must click on the Edit button, then choose the Notes tab to create a note. The note then appears in this window, once you've saved it. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't mind the note window being there, but I would think it should appear as uneditable. I know this is a ticky little thing and it's really not a big deal.

Re: [LegacyUG] Old Source Detail associated with newly Merged Master Sources
Jenny, My newly combined source does have the bullet beside it. That's one of the first questions I posted after I combined the sources and Geoff responded that the bullet means the source was created with the new Source Writer. I thought that in itself is a great feature so that you will know the difference. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see exactly what I did. I really do think I clicked on the new source first. Somehow it made sense to me that if I wanted the Master Source info from one and the detail from the other that I should click on the Master first and then combine the details into that master. I knew I had my backup to rely on, in case I lost all the details. Thanks for exploring this with me. It's really helping me to think through my next steps - do I wait for these quesitions to be answered definitely, or do I keep working on my sources? Right now, I'm just adding new sources with the Source Writer - not doing any more combining.

Jenny and Janis, I have gone back and reread this thread. I think I understand what you're talking about now. The Text/comment is NOT the problem.

Please forgive me for trying to solve this problem that I didn't fully understand.

Re: [LegacyUG] Old Source Detail associated with newly Merged Master Sources
Janis, The source was a book compiled by my great uncle. I had BMD info for each particular person in the Source Details. I also had a paragraph from the Preface in the Master Source Text/Comments. From the Master Source List, I created a new source using the SourceWriter Template. I rewrote the Master Source Text, editing just a little from what I had written originally. As far as I can remember now, I clicked on the new source first, chose Combine Highlighted Source then clicked on the old source and then clicked again. This source was attached to several areas, Name, Birth, Marriage, and some Residence events. I have just checked one more time and all the details are still there, just as I entered them on Legacy 6. Hope this helps. Dede On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 6:36 AM, Janis Gilmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dede, Can you tell me exactly what you did?

Re: [LegacyUG] Old Source Detail associated with newly Merged Master Sources
Janis, Based on what Geoff and Dave B have said, I think my source and details were pretty clear cut - no conflicts so everything combined like it was supposed to. Or maybe it was just beginner's luck! After reading Geoff's comments and Dave B.'s observations, I've gone back and checked everything just to be sure I didn't overlook something that might have gotten lost in translation. I'm a little nervous about trying to combine any more sources, since everyone has not had the same results that I had. I'm like you - I do love the new Sourcewriter. I am able to be more consistent in the way I am entering my data. I finally feel confident that I'm doing things the right way - not just feeling my way through and making it up as I go.

Okay, I'm going to answer my own question. I went to the Locations window and clicked Add. At the bottom of the screen, where you add latitude and longitude, I see the explanation of this lengthy number. Latitude = DDMMSS.xxx and Longitude = DDDMMSS.xxx So 681234.293 is 68 degrees, 12 minutes and 34.293 seconds. Now it makes sense.

Meanwhile, I'm working on some other things, doing some more research, organizing my paperwork, etc. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy v.7 source details don't print
I am also having a problem with Master Source Text/Comments and Source Detail Text. Problem: Master Source Text/Comments appears on EVERY instance of Source Citation, even though I have checked Include on Reports First Time Only The Source Detail does not print on any subsequent Source Citations, even though I have checked Include on Reports I thought the problem might be attributed to the fact that these sources had been converted from Legacy 6. I re-entered the Master Source information using the new Source Templates. I combined the Sources (old into new). My detail text stayed where it belonged (thankfully!). To test this theory, I entered a brand new source that had never been a part of my Legacy 6. I used the Source Template. I have the same problem. Master Text/Comments on EVERY citation, detail only on the first. I deleted the Legacy/FGS.usr file as Ron suggested. I tried again. Still the same problem. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the Master Source Text/Comments? I really don't want to read this information over and over again in reports. I thought that choosing First Time Only meant that if the Source is footnote #1, the Text/Comments will be printed. If this same source is footnote #3 (and 4 and 5...) I shouldn't see the Text/Comments again. Any help will be appreciated. Right now I am waiting to enter more information, because I don't want to have to change everything if I've misunderstood this function.

I don't think it matters which one you choose first when you are combining. The progam recognizes the source created with the new template. Verify that your Source Details are accurate.

[LegacyUG] Ver 7 source detail on reports
I first asked this question on Saturday and had no response. Maybe my question was too long. I do know that the Legacy server is swamped and many things have been held up so I've waited this long to repost. (It's Tuesday morning.) I'll try to rephrase briefly. On Reports, I'd like for the Master Source Text/Comments to be shown the first time a source is cited only. I have that option checked. I want the Source Detail to print, also. But I'm getting the Master Source Text/Comments every time the source is cited and the Source Detail from the first citation only on the first citation. When the Source Detail changes with subsequent citations of the source, the Detail does not appear on the report, even when it is the first time this detail has been cited. Since there are several places that this option can be turned on or off, I don't know if : 1) I've missed something 2) I've misunderstood the purpose of the option 3) This is a bug I have been testing this on Family Group Reports. -- Dede Holden Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
The good news is: Once you've added the new version of your source, you can combine the old source with the new one and Legacy keeps the new source. The bullet beside the source in the Master Source list lets you know which sources have been written with the new Source Writer. I've made the change for several of my sources that had multiple citations with different Source Details for each and all have been handled properly by Legacy. I'm sure I don't have as many sources as many of you, but I'm finding it helpful to do this conversion manually, since it forces me to look at each source and rethink my citations. It also helps to generate some of your favorite reports and see how the source citations are handled. You can see what needs to be fixed.

However, when I print a Family Group Report which uses this source and source detail for Name, Birth, and Death, it shows the source detail text for the first citation only (this is what I want) and the master source text and comments only for all the subsequent citations (what I don't want - I just want this to show the first time also).

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Potential Problem Reports
Phil, I was curious about your question, so I've done a little investigating. First of all, I suspect that you have probably ENTERED all your surnames as capital letters. I have entered mine normally, but choose to let Legacy convert them to all caps for reports. If that is the case, then you need to click on the Standardization tab of the Potential Problems report and uncheck the last box, which considers surnames typed in all caps as a potential problem. The interesting thing I've discovered is that you can get several different formats for this report. If you click Create Problems List then you get a list that you can work with - go to each individual and edit from the list. (Fabulous feature!) If you then click Preview from that list, you can specify if you want a detailed, abbreviated, or summary report. The reports that are generated this way do not have the surnames in all caps, since I did not enter them that way. However, if I click Preview directly from the initial Potential Problems Report screen (not create list or view existing list), then the surnames are in all caps. Very interesting. Thanks for prodding me to do a little more exploring in V7. I'm very happy about it, too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Legacy Charting Pre-release - SUCCESS!
Earlier today, Luc posted that it was okay to delete the pre-release of Legacy Charting, once Legacy 7 Deluxe is successfully installed. I just checked. I have two desktop icons on my computer, one for the pre-release and one for Legacy Charting 7. I checked the About files for each and they are the same program. Evidently, Legacy Charting was installed over the pre-release when I installed Legacy 7 Deluxe. I simply deleted the unneeded shortcut icon. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dup Name Check
I agree. When I am asked if I am adding a new person or linking to an existing person, I check link and verify that I do (or don't) already have this person. It's very simple to close the window and add the new person if he/she doesn't already exist. I've also found it a relatively simple process to merge the two if I accidentally add someone twice. I was continuously aggravated by FTM when I tried to add a new person with the same name as someone already in my file. Some people might enjoy machines that try to think for them, but a little of that goes a long way with me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Belinda, I have Legacy 7 and just checked this out for you. From the main tool bar, you can go to Options, Customize, Data Entry. At the bottom of the screen is the global setting for changing the wife's surname, or not changing married names. You can also make this change individually at the Marriage info window. Hope this helps.

But haven't been able to download the program yet so I'm not able to check this out for myself but what I'm wondering is there a solution to or if, not any suggestions for work arounds for the following. I like more and more women have retained my maiden name on marriage. What I'm wondering does the program have a check box or something for each women that you can tick if name was not changed on marriage (which would then alter indexes etc) or if not what would LUG members suggest as a work around for this situation.
