For example, when installing another program, a different version of a shared system file may be installed. In addition, when uninstalling another program, a person may say Yes to the prompt about deleting shared files. As a result Legacy will give error messages or won't run at all. In addition, there are a few spyware scanners and some anti-virus programs that can also disable Legacy by removing critical system files. 1. Make certain that any spyware scanners or antivirus programs are temporarily disabled. It's important that if a spyware scanner wants to remove a file like ActBar.ocx that you do not allow it to do so, or the problem will just keep repeating. 2. Repair your Legacy program by updating it. Often missing or out-of-date files will be replaced when updating. Go to www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/DownloadUpdate.asp to download and install the Legacy 7.0 Update file. If you have Legacy 6.0 or an earlier version go to www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/helpDownloadVersion7.asp . If these steps fix the problem, you can stop here. 3.

Re: [LegacyUG] Not fair Millennia!
Art Seddon wrote: Of course they paid for it first and we old-timers haven't because a way has NOT been available. Art Seddon\ Huh? This old-timer paid for a new V6 Deluxe shortly after it was announced that a free upgrade to V7 was included. Obviously a way was available. I saw an opportunity to be assured of a faster upgrade route and took it. I don't understand all the crying about being treated unfairly. Everyone had the same opportunity. You can't cry and blame someone else because you failed to take the opportunity when it presented itself. Every new product roll out (including upgrades) has to have a well mapped and organized plan in order to succeed on the most levels. For the people crying that they have been using Legacy for years so they should be first I can only say, I and others have been using Legacy forever also. We have already paid for the upgrade through the process made available by Millenia Corp to every established user. Do you really feel that you deserve the upgrade before us, even though you have not pre-paid. A line has to be drawn someplace and the roll out commenced in orderly stages or we will all be waiting even longer while Millenia repairs their crashed servers caused by download overload.

Every time I enter an individual whom I know to be a relative, am I not Adding a NEW person, and wouldn't I select that option? If I were to add this new person (a relative) and select Link to an Existing person, that selection takes me to the name list where, it seems to me, that I'd have to select *everyone* in the family (direct and collateral individuals) to link this new person? If you already have a person in your database related by , say marriage, and you later discover that this person is the son, daughter, father or mother of another person in your database you would then link to the existing person by selecting that person in your name list. If the person is not already in your database in some capacity then you would add the new person. I have often had a person in my database who was married to a known anscestor only to later discover that this person was also th offspring of another ancestor.

Re: [LegacyUG] saving file, etc
Pat Jones wrote: Cathy, Sherry, Ron and Jenny: I first copied the original file using the save as, then made the changes to the new file. When I went back to see the original file, it too had changed to match the new file (easy to tell the change as the original file had several more columns in the index view than the new file did; after deleting those columns in the new file and then going back to look at the original file, those columns were missing in the original file as well.) I asked Sherry for help and am eagerly awaiting what she can come up with. BTW, I'm using the latest updated version 6. I may be missing the point here but if you are just creating different files in order to show differences in the screen views, you are doing it the hard way. It would be much easier to start with the first view you wish to show them and make a screen shot of it. Save that one as File_View_1.jpg (or tiff or bmp or gif whatever is your preferred format.) Then make your first change and take another screen shot and so on, naming them sequentially. Save them all to the same folder, say \presentation\. Then use a program like irfanview which will allow you to display the images as a slide show. With Legacy running in the background it is an easy matter to use alt-tab to switch between the two programs as needed to answer questions. If you are really ambitious you can use power point or open office to make a proper presentation. Much cleaner and faster than having many files to manage. -- Gene Y. n2kvs Researching Young, Zies, Harer Cox with Legacy Family Tree http://h1.ripway.com/egptech/ 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

If you are creating a bunch of sources before attaching them to people, you cannot use this method – you must create individual new sources for each entry. Does anyone know it this behavior is fixed in version 7, i.e. can you do the copy first then make changes? I have created an unlinked individual named MASTER SOURCES and attached any unlinked source to it.

If you have not yet downloaded our free Create CD software (which is a special, free edition of our add-on software, Passage Express), Legacy will prompt you to first download and install it. 2) Next, decide if you want to include the entire Legacy family file, or create a subset of it. If you are creating a CD for the wife's side of the family, then select the Create a Subset option where you can then specify to only include her side. 3) Follow the steps to give your project a title, an author, and decide what you want to include on the CD. 4) Once the CD is designed, click on the Test Project link to see what the CD will actually look like when your family member inserts it into their computer. 5) When you are satisfied, click on the Publish button. Just like that, you've created a family heirloom!

Re: [LegacyUG] Old Style MONTHS???
Peter Haughton wrote: Sounds Good Dave, BUT when the Julian Calendar was established, the start of the year was 1 January and all those months that are (and were) based on the Latin name for the number were two out, as they had been for several centuries before that. Taken from the Quaker website: http://www.quaker.org.uk/templates/internal.asp?nodeid=90037amp;int1stparentnodeid=93929amp;int2ndparentnodeid=89813amp;int3rdparentnodeid=89813amp;strareacolor=aqua Quaker usage Quakers followed the national practice, with one exception. They objected to using those names of days (Sunday to Saturday) and months (January to August) which derived from heathen gods or goddesses, employing instead numbers: thus Sunday was for them First Day. They had no difficulty (until 1752 - see below) with the months September to December, which derived from numbers; but for the other months, they substituted numbers, writing them out as First Month, Second Month, and so on. They sometimes used Roman numerals (i-xii) for these, and sometimes Arabic (1-12). The problem for the modern reader is remembering that the year did not begin on 1 January until 1752, so that until 1752 February was Twelfth Month and March First Month for Quakers. Furthermore the months September to December were literally (in translation from the Latin) Seventh Month to Tenth Month, and therefore those names could truthfully be used. But once the year began in January, this was no longer the case, and so from 1752 all months were referred to by Quakers by their number. September became Ninth Month, which it now was, and so on. It is often helpful, in making notes from Quaker manuscripts, printed works, and digest registers of births, marriages and burials, to write down the old style numbers as in the original text, but add the new style names after in square brackets, such as: 29 ii [April] 1731 or 29 2 mo. [April] 1731 12 x [December] 1740 or 12 10 mo. [December] 1740 That should settle this OT subject. -- Gene Y. n2kvs Researching Young, Zies, Harer Cox with Legacy Family Tree http://h1.ripway.com/egptech/ 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

The current routine with freepages on rootsweb involves doing it one page at a time. Extremely laborous for the Legacy pedigree created output.

While it has worked for me with other sites, when I tried it with freepages on rootsweb it crashed my computer EVERY time, causing a total reboot. I have to conclude that rootsweb doesn't like to play nice with net drive. If all you wish to do is upload multiple pages, or even an entire web site, at once then use an ftp client. That is what I use for freepages at rootsweb and it has woked well for me. I use FileZilla, a free program.

Re: [LegacyUG] County Verifier Info
Jess M wrote: Sure, it's Beaufort county, North Carolina, circa 1690's to early 1700's. An excerpt from her book: Beaufort Precinct of Bath Co. became Beaufort Co. in 1705, but oftentimes counties were formed years before they functioned as new counties because of lack of men and facilities. So it was with Beaufort. The area was lightly populated. 1705 - Bath Co. divided into Wickham, Archdale, Pamptecough Precincts 1710 - North Carolina and South Carolina made separate provinces 1712 - Pamptecough name changed to Beaufort. Archdale name changed to Craven. Wickham name changed to Hyde. There were other changes according to where in Beaufort you are talking about. For instance Pitt County was form in 1760 from the western half of Beaufort. The link I gave in my previous post shows graphically how it evolved so you can trace it to the present day and make the appropriate notations in the location notes in Legacy. (See, it does have to do with Legacy and how to enter date therein. g) The correct location for pre 1705 would be Bath County, Province of Carolina, Great Britain. In 1705 the name would have changed to Pamptecough Precinct, Province of Carolina, Great Britain. In 1710 it would have been Pamptecough Precinct, Province of North Carolina, Great Britain. In 1712 It would have been Beaufort, Province of North Carolina, Great Britain. I would enter it by the correct historical location name for the time period in question and in the notes for those locations give the evolution of the location to the current place name. It becomes more historically correct and avoids problems with the county verifier. Hope this was a help, -- Gene Y.

For instance, I was interested in the posts about trimming emails and the difference about top and bottom posting. I'm on a couple of lists that pitch a fit if you don't trim them, and sometimes I forget and they yell at me (sniff, sniff). Using the two dashes in my signature line will remedy this breach of email etiquette for me very nicely. 3) Again a feeling of propriety. It is my computer so I will do as I please. The responses to your email evidence this. I think, perhaps, part of the problem is that people either don't read the post carefully, or it's written so poorly (one long sentence, no punctuation and typos that make NO sense) that the question is misunderstood.
