[LegacyUG] Decendant Report with dates but not places
Hi listers, As the subject says I want to print a descendant report (or chart) with dates but not places (because it gets too complicated to look at). My previous program could do it and I use it to visually track which families I have found the descendants of and which I don't. Thanks, Gavin...

RE: [LegacyUG] What's the best way to source a relationship?
In addition to what Jessica has written I would add that I assign those sources against the NAME of the parent. In the book I wrote (pre-legacy) my opening paragraph was about why I believed that the A and B were the parents of C. Sometimes it was simply that I obtained their names from a marriage certificate but others would go into great detail explaining why I believed it to be true. I was also careful to provide a "measure" of my confidence (using terms such as probably or possibly etc) as well as provide any information that conflicted with my hypothesis and why I discounted that information. Cheers, Gavin... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jessica Morgan Sent: Monday, 20 October 2008 11:45 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] What's the best way to source a relationship? After reading your quandry, and some of the responses, there's definately no right or wrong way. Personally, if I am "deducing" information from sources without actually having a source for the event or information in question, I would put it as an event (now that I use events) that I've made and named "Deduction", writing out what I deduced and from what and why. I then source it to any and all documents that back this deduction up, as well as attach a source that I've named "Self Deduction", citing myself as the source, and my thoughts as the detail.

I suggested that via the online form but didn't get a positive reply :-( If more people want this feature then please submit a suggestion direct to Legacy, if enough people do it they might add it to the future features! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JLB Sent: Tuesday, 26 August 2008 7:45 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] pictures and scanned documents If you were in England, you could switch to family Historian which has the facility of enabling you to mark individual 'faces' in a group photograph and tag them with names.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sourcing the IGI
This doesn't appear to work if I am doing it right. If I select "marriage records" I then have the option of church records, government records or frakturs. The church records and government records only break down into certificates, transcriptions, registers or books. Nothing for online sources. That brings me to the Frakturs that I mentioned in the original e-mail which has online options (online database for example). Is this what people are doing though? Is there a best practice when it comes to quoting the IGI? Should I just select Internet>>Database and be done with it?!

[LegacyUG] Sourcing the IGI
Hello again listers! Thanks for all the help so far and sorry if this has been asked before but I have scoured Google, looked at the examples on the Legacy website (which appear to refer to a previous edition) and looked at the sample file with Legacy 7.0 to no avail. I am just after the best way to Source the IGI. When I select "Internet" there is a message in RED that says I should select the type of record I want. If I select a marriage record then the best thing to select to get an online option is "Fraktur". I don't even know what a "Fraktur" is!! Looking forward to your thoughts! Gavin...

RE: [LegacyUG] Attaching PDF file
It should be noted that the FILE option is only available to deluxe users. Otherwise, you can work around it by selecting "sound" or "video" and then selecting the PDF file. The only problem with this is that you have a sound or video icon for it, however, it does launch your PDF viewer correctly when you double-click on it. Cheers, Gavin.

[LegacyUG] Events/Facts to Multiple People
Hello all, I am a new user of Legacy and I am currently updating my information in the program. I have been using the source clipboard extensively and it is a godsend for speeding up multiple entries. I am now looking at my census information and wondering if there is a way to assign the same event/fact to multiple people at once or a clipboard system so I can paste in the identical details quickly. This problem arises for other events such as residence as well. Thanks for your help, Gavin...

[LegacyUG] Events differ between "Add events" and "assign sources"
Hi listers, I have just started using this program and I am updating my sources. I noticed when I was in the "assigned Sources" screen that there was an event for "Death Cause" and I thought I would add that in. So I assigned a source to it and went back to the "Individual Information" screen and it wasn't in the Events/Facts list so I selected "add" but when I dropped down the list of events "death cause" wasn't there. I added a new one but when I went back to the "assign sources" screen I now had two "Death cause" entries. Upon closer inspection the lists of events between the two screens are significantly different. So can someone tell me how/why they are different. How are you supposed to use each screen if they don't directly relate? Cheers, Gavin.

RE: [LegacyUG] New User with some questions
Thanks Rich, I totally did not explain that well. I am referring to PDF files. The website says you can attach "any other kind of document" yet there is no "document" option only picture, sound and video. Rootsmagic, which I have also been evaluating, has a "file" option which is much better and would be perfect if a little thumbnail preview appeared as well rather than a generic icon.

Not sure what you mean by that. Step one move the 'thing' to the hard drive legacy looks for stuff in. Step two go to the person it is for. Click on the little porttrait between notes and sources. Click on the category you want. search through your 'directory tree' to find where it is staying. Click on it. You have now loaded it in, and if you want a different 'look', crop and the other tools are available as many times as you want. I happen to like this setup better than my old way, when having to save small and big with different names each. but that is me.

[LegacyUG] New User with some questions
Hi listers, I am looking at changing to Legacy as I need a more full featured program as my research gets more extensive. Legacy looks good although the multimedia aspects appear lacking. I have two questions: 1. The legacy website states: "Now Attach Any Document to Individuals and Marriages - Along with attaching pictures, sounds, and video to individuals, events, locations, and sources, you can now also attach any other kind of document (PDFs, Word files, etc.)." Are they talking about the clunky way of inserting documents as a movie or sound file? 2. Is there any talk about improving the handling of photos. Family Historian has a fantastic feature where you can link to just a part of a photo and toggle between that part and the whole photo. This means that if you had a school photo for example then you can toggle between just your ancestor and the whole photo. I may submit that as a feature request although it would be handy if you could find out what has been submitted before. A wish list with voting would be ideal! Other than the above Legacy appears to do all that I need but better handling of media would be great as there is so much available these days. Cheers, Gavin...
