Re: [LegacyUG] Software Testing
Mike, I totally agree...and I'm sorry to say that is seems to be the norm here...with the same players usually. They can take a subject & turn it around to a witch-burning so fast you have a huge download of useless messages in an instant. And when someone speaks up against the practice they turn on them. They never seem grateful for the wonders they have, only gripe about bits of imperfection & ask for more. If it was my list, it would be -flame once, warning- flame twice, banned. I don't know how the Legacy staff stays so calm...Chocolate must be involved... They are good people with a good product & for a VERY reasonable price. Hey... maybe Legacy can start a second list for grownups... people with manners who know how to discuss problems & solutions without getting snide, rude & insulting??? LOL Sally Hi Ward, Thanks for a thoughtful and articulate post. I am a new user of Legacy, having recently switched over from TMG v7 to Legacy 7, and have been hovering along the side-lines of this list for the past couple of weeks or so. I have never used Legacy 6. I have also been a database developer for many years, and after trying out most of the competing products I settled on Legacy as the best choice, bugs or not. The only other genealogy mailing list that I have been associated with is the TMG list. And although I have come to prefer Legacy to TMG, I must say that during the 2 years that I used it and participated in its mail list, I never encountered the lack of respect for the feelings of other users that I have seen here recently. I always found the TMG list to be extremely helpful. But, as a total newcomer to the Legacy-world, I find myself hesitating to post here. I would hope that the anger, frustration and bad feeling toward the developers and also toward other posters that I have observed here lately is a transient thing, rather than the norm.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census
Thank you, that's wonderful. I think Legacy is the best genealogy software out there & I have worked with most of them in the last twenty years. I do appreciate that it's not that easy to keep adding to & improving on a software program that is in use & misuse by thousands. My son who is a software engineer keeps me laughing with the tales from his & his friends experiences dealing with a public who always knows what *they* should do. They even have a website where they share their stories...but... you probably already know about that...LOL Thank you again, Sally Sally, The next update will contain specific SourceWriter templates for all of the Canadian censuses, including the recent release of the 1916 Western Canada census and the 1940 National Registration File.

I used the template for Census records > All countries except those below... > Online, database and images. I had no problem with the master source template. But the detail source template does not give a field for the township name, enumeration district, or subdistrict. I just did an override to fix the problem. For the 1901 Census, I just created a master source using the basic source tool. Also, I don't like that the field for county is on the detail template and not on the master template.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer for Canadian Census
Thank you, Kathy, I know I can use the old format & input it, that's what I've done in the past. Now, I'd like to use the SourceWriter for all my new sources but the Canadian Agricultural Census seems to be an ungainly fit for it. Sally ** I'm not sure what doesn't look right.

For those who were promised a free shipped v7 upgrade, we've now completed mailing those. You should receive it within the next week or so. For those who were promised a free download-only v7, those are about 60% emailed out. So in the next few days those should be completed.

Re: [LegacyUG] pre-release of V. 7 - good luck at NGS
Yes, good luck, hope you impress the daylights out of everybody I know you impress me. Sally Mercer Heeren While I feel mildly frustrated that the users will not see the program first, I do recognize that NGS is one of the most important genealogy conferences in the U.S. Legacy needs to make this year's conference, and if it were released to all of us at the same time, there would very likely be all sorts of problems that the Millennium folk wouldn't be equipped to handle while they are away from the office. Personally, I hope they hook some of the heavy-duty academics at the conference - maybe a couple of Fellows! Good luck out there next week, Legacy!

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Source...
Keith, I have a source called Personal Information, then on the detail I add my name (if it's my information) or the name of the relative who told me. Think of it this way, if you found a letter from a great grandfather to his brother that said in part that they were moving from the Dakotas to Wyoming, you would use the letter as a source but the letter is just your great grandfather writing down what he would have said to his brother... his word is not more or less honest because it is written rather than said... it just lasts longer & gives you an event in the words of the person who lived it.. Once you write down that you lived in such & such a place for so many years & source yourself, you have created a document that will be received 100 from now as a prime source. A source about an event by someone who lived it in their own words. Sally GeoSci wrote: No obvious (to me anyway) source to pick for something I know is true because I lived it. Or something my mother recalled. Should I simply add my name as a source? One good example is residence. I know where we lived for most of my life - and certainly know where my wife and I have lived since we married. These are facts - but a source? Probably something quite simple - but I am trying to clear things up from the past 4-5 years of throwing data into my file without decent sourcing (what a mess!).

Re: [LegacyUG] Census vs Residence Events
I do the same thing that Elsie does & have a residence event for every person I find in the census or other source...even if it is the same address or place as before. And I add the notation "at 412 Main St with husband & 5 children" changing to "at 412 Main St with parents & siblings" as fits the person. At a glance I can see where that person has been, how the family has changed. I can track how the family moved around and try to find out why. If the person is in one place for years with a single incident of a different residence, I try to find out why.. I don't feel you can err with using the Events to track every piece of information you have. It's usually when you leave something out that you kick yourself later. Or I do.. Sally Interesting idea - if I understand - it might happen that you have MANY residence events for a single person. I lived in three places in less that 1 year (just for an example). So if I found evidence for each location - each would be a different residence event? I have grandparents living in 5 different places over 60 years of census data - resulting in 5 residence events? Just thinking aloud... Keith. On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Elsie Saar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I also do not use Census events.

Re: [LegacyUG] Thoughts re Descendants - How to Tag
I read an article on Meme & Gene genealogy... rather like nurture & nature... that was fascinating. It told how genes aren't the only thing that is handed down. Your family line passes on values & ethics. A completely unrelated person, raised as one of a specific family will take on its attributes and pass it on to its offspring. Outside of medical problems, I've decided that the meme part of genealogy is as important if not more important than *purity* of the gene line. I'm sorry I can't tell you where I read the article, it was over a year ago & I read so much that it is lost in a forest of magazines. Sally I recall hearing some time ago the sad statistical analysis of DNA studies and it was estimated that something like upwards of 20% of the people that think they are related actually aren't. That's a dirty little secret we all prefer to ignore.

Re: [LegacyUG] To Correct or not to correct, That is the question!!!
Not sure what you mean, Christina. Do you mean do you add the incorrect information to your file as the correct date, then no. Alt. Birth/Death/etc is a great way to save these dates without having them change your main information. And sometimes, those *wrong* dates prove to be right...just not with the person you thought they should be with. I just solved a vexing problem of a woman with conflicting birth/death dates given by several different people...turns out there were two women who were first cousins... two of the people had only one of the cousins in the file but with the wrong parents...once we sorted out the parents & cousins, all the dates made sense. Of course, some information you find is ridiculous, for instance, someone puts the marriage date at a time when the woman would be 10 years old or has her first child born before she was...I've actually come across both of these in online trees. In that case, ignore, ignore, ignore... With spelling you have a whole new game, I have an ancestor that was called Cynthia Ann, Cynthia Anna, Cindi Ann, Cynthianna... she is so far back that there is no birth record nor bible record & two names were used more than the others so I chose one... Cynthianna ... as the main name & put the others in AKA with the source for each. With surnames, different branches of the family could have evolved different spelling & it is understandable that as they research back, they change the spelling to the one they know best. I don't think that one should change a source spelling of a name (assuming the source was from the same time period as the person). I put the surnames in as I find them... using the others in AKA...again using the spelling most common for each individual or the time period. If you mean do you correct the online information, then yes. I put up corrections on Ancestry.com all the time & appreciate others who do the same. Rootsweb has a way you can add notes to online trees, too. But, I only do it if I have PROVED the information, I never do it if I have only one or two weak sources. They may be right... Sally I am at my end with this question. I think I know the answers but I need to ask. When you find something on the internet or written in a book, do you correct the spelling or places or date adjustments if you know they are not correct. Such as the name of a state in a country? Also the year. If you have a date of marriage 1856 and the date of birth for the bride is 1850 do you still put that in the marriage field or just a notation that you suspect it is not correct? any help will be appreciated, Christina 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 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] Family Tales
Jane, You are so right about the information & tips on this list. Just from this one question I've had such great responses. I'm kind of a purist who doesn't want to lose the *life* in these histories. I try to get at least 3 solid sources for every fact but facts alone don't bring these people to life. It is the tales I've heard that make me feel I know ancestors that died before my father was born. So, I want to preserve the stories as well as the facts. It would be nice if Legacy let us keep our facts in one color until we have what we consider enough sources to prove the fact & then change it to black. At a glance I would know what needed work. Of course, most of the line would be green or whatever.LOL so, maybe that's not such a good idea. Sally Sally, Sounds like using the General Notes is working fine for you. I am just now in the process of transferring my family stories from general notes to an added event I named Family Stories. My reason is simple - when anyone asks about family stories, I will be able to easily find the list of all folks in my program who have a family story. (The discussion of these family stories usually leads to one more to be added.) I can also exclude the stories from reports by marking private. All this can also be accomplished with a detailed search of general notes for a keyword placed in the family stories (like 'family story', for example). Although I have used Legacy for a few years now, in the few months subscribed to this LUG I've received a wealth of information & tips and decided I just want to use the program to store the history of my extended family. I am more interested in how to organize my folks than defining what is and is not an event. I do have a deep admiration to those who publish and have to think about such things and the purists who want to.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Tales
What a great idea! Thank you, John. Sally I put "family traditions" in the Notes of the primary person involved; i.e., Grandma talked about traveling from Georgia to Alabama in a covered wagon, so the story is in her general notes. Because of her birth date, we know that her stories of the trip were actually what her older siblings or parents had told her as she was less than a year old when they moved - and that's also in the notes (born 1899, in GA census in 1900). Another possibility would be to have a "Family Tradition" event so you can customize the format of the text in reports.
