Re: [LegacyUG] Unnamed stillborns
Re: George Foreman and naming all his children after himself. I read once that he said he never knew his own father and he wanted to make darn good and sure his children knew who their father was. He even named his female children after himself. I think he used Georgina or Georgette or maybe both. I don't know exactly how many children he has or their sexes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Group picture
I have a photocopy of a family portrait. Not positive what year it was taken, but have estimated it by the youngest family memberknowing his birthdate and estimating his age in the photo. I have no idea if the portrait was done for a particular occasion. There is a vase of flowers on a table in the background. All the males, except for the youngest who was abt. 3 yrs old, are in suits, and the females are dressed in "Sunday Best" dresses. There are two older males, one I believe to be a brother of the wife of the family group, and another whom I believe to be a brother of the husband. My question is where is the most practical place to add this photo? Or should I add it individually to each family member? If I made a separate event for it, "Family Portrait 1914", does it get attached to one family member or to the marriage, or what? I'm stumped.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Bible Sourcing
I have a similar issue. I have xerox copies of pages from a family bible. All I know for sure is it belonged to a member of the family. I can't tell if the entries were all made at one time or not, although it seems as though the earliest ones were and then others were made as they happened. The bible either belonged to my 3Gr-grandparents or one of their daughters, but it's impossible to tell. Right now I just have it sourced as Hardy Family Bible Pages, with no detail. I know I should be more detailed but I'm not sure just what to put. I have no idea where the original bible is, or who had it when the pages were copied. They've been copied many times as my copy is quite faint and fuzzy. Any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Suggestions wanted please: How to enter "boarder"
This is a very interesting topic and I'm glad Robert brought it up. I have a couple of incidences where the family I'm researching seemed to be operating a boarding house. Most names of the boarders are unfamiliar to me, but there are a couple with same last name as this family, and of the wife's maiden name. Now, if I were to create an event, or enter the boarders as unlinked individuals, would I only include the ones with names I know to be family names, or all of them, or none of them? They were Russian immigrants in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and all the boarders were also Russian immigrants. This was on the 1910 census. I can't find them in 1920, and 1930 they are in Youngstown, Ohio with only immediate family. Thank you for any suggestions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please take it off list -- IT'S A LEGITMATE QUERY, FOLKS!
I wholeheartedly agree with both Janis and Stacey. I think if the members of the list could be relied on to discuss "hot button" topics calmly and without prejudice the list moderators would have no need to feel that some subjects should be banned. Personally, I welcome a reasonable discussion of this topic. My eldest son is gay. And although he has, for want of a better word, boyfriend, I'm not yet at the point that I want to enter the boyfriend in the program. Not because I'm against the relationship, I'm not, but because, to the best of my knowledge it is not yet a "committed" relationship. If and when it becomes one, then I do need to know how to handle it within Legacy. So thank you to everyone who is able to discuss this without getting upset. Elaine in the Beautiful Missouri Ozarks.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to enter details of adopted children
Sara is absolutely right on this point! I am adopted and as far as I'm concerned my legal, adopted name is my "real" name, and my name at birth is my AKA. However, I am not only tracing my adopted family lines, but my biological maternal lines. My biological paternal lines are unknown. What I have done is maintain two databases. One for the adopted family, and one for the bio. In the adopted one, I list my birth mother, but not as the preferred parent, and in the bio database I do the reverse. It may not be the "correct" way, but it works for me.

[LegacyUG] Repository Question
I've been using Legacy for almost a year now, and am trying to get a little more particular and more complete with my sourcing. I have a question about what to use for the repositories. What is the accepted way to enter the repository when you have the original document in your posession, and it's also available at a county clerk's office, for example?

Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: prayer for our Military
That may or may not be true. But this is not your run-of-the-mill list. These posts, whether we agree with them or not, are off topic. And allowing them to be posted, which no one did, only brings on hard feelings and discussions that eventually turn nasty. We each have our own religious and political beliefs. And that's the best way to keep them, to ourselves. I own a few Yahoo groups and I do not allow any political or religious discussions, simply to avoid hard feelings. Not to mention that graphics and HTML are specifically prohibited on the Legacy list. Or haven't you read the rules???

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Descendant book problem
Hi Susan, Actually it's a second husband, and I can't even find how to make him private. He's actually designated as the preferred spouse, as she had no children with the first husband. I'm only doing the report as far as her generation, so her son is not included. The report ends with this generation. My starting point is my husband's 2nd Great Grandfather and I'm only including 4 generations. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Descendant book problem
Hi Ron, I checked the MRINS, the number for the first marriage is one digit higher than for the second marriage. I ran a file check/repair. I get an error stating a To Do item is not found. I don't have any To Do Items set. When I click on the OK, I then get an Error:3021 Item Missing message. I click on NO so that the repair will finish. I did another preview of the Descendant book and it's still the same.

[LegacyUG] Gender Reassignment
Is there a way to edit the gender of an entry? I was given information on a distant cousin and that cousin's spouse and was not told whether this cousin was male or female. Normally it's not hard to know, but the cousin's given name is Lee and the spouse's given name is Nathal. I assumed, and incorrectly so, that Lee was female and Nathal was male. In fact, it's the opposite. I only found out from an obituary I just found online. How can I switch them around? Or can I? I've attempted to edit, but the m/f/? boxes are greyed out.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't find a Settings folder. I backed up all the zip files and everything in the Legacy folder, just to be on the safe side.

[LegacyUG] Export and Incorrect Order Questions
I am using the free version of Legacy, the latest build, WindowsXP home SP2. I have two issues I need to resolve. 1. Is there a way to select certain people from your database and export them to a GEDCOM? In FamilyTreeMaker there is an export choice between entire file and selected individuals, I don't see that option with Legacy. I recently made contact with a cousin, who also uses Legacy, and wanted to send her what I had on the family lines we share but couldn't find a way without sending my entire database. 2. I have one ancestor who married twice and when I go to print a Descendant book or report Legacy insists on putting his second marriage first. What can I do to reverse this?

[LegacyUG] Source Question
I have a question on Sources, but it doesn't pertain ONLY to Legacy, but Sources in general. If I'm asking in the wrong place, I apologize. I want to be as thorough as possible with my sources, just for my own information in case I have to go back later to check any data. I'm from the old pen and paper school and always noted where I found my information, or once I got a computer, printed out pertinent pages and kept track of websites. I've had a subscription to Ancestry for the past couple of months and have hit the jackpot on a few things. Today I found my Grandfather's WWI draft registration, and joy of joys, it lists his city of birth in Germany. Now, under the transcribed information they give "Source Citation: Registration Location: Wayne County, Michigan; Roll: 2032673; Draft Board: 23." But farther down the page it states :"Source Information: Ancestry.com. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: MyFamily.com, Inc., 2005. Original data: United States, Selective Service System. World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M1509, 4,582 rolls." It seems to me that just their "Source Citation" isn't enough. Or is it? What do other Legacy users use? I'm currently using the free version, but plan to upgrade at the earliest possibility. Thanks to anyone who can give me any advice. Elaine O.
