Re: [LegacyUG] To Brian photo locations

[Hugh Busey]

Joyce,

I too am wrestling with the best organization for calling files.
Could you clarify your ideas a bit more?  They sound intriguing.

Do you make separate files for each surname or do you have one file
with all images, clippings, documents, etc. divided by A-surname
groups?  You could certainly make a case for the multiple file
organization but I understand from what I read in this group that
Legacy likes all images in one "sub-folder".  Did I understand that
correctly?

Can anyone explain why?  It would seems to make rather complex image
names.  (As opposed to complex paths names.)

Oops - almost forgot to change to simple text.  The eighth deadly sin
of our modern world!

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List

[Hugh Busey]

Hi Sherry, et al

Last week, after installing V.7.0.0.103 Deluxe I believe, I suddenly
noticed several of my ancestors had totally new birth and death
locations.  I had not edited them nor done anything with their
locations that I recall.  I shrugged and manually changed them back,
blaming it on a sudden four hour power loss we experienced for some
kind of over-writing.  Now you guys are making me wonder.  Had I
better inspect my entire database?

Configured with an up-to-date XP OS, Legacy on 24/7, well protected
cable internet service with a home wireless network, try to keep the
C-drive fairly clean - most data files are on a physical D-drive, B/U
to a thumb-drive and laptop. After the initial release bugs, Legacy 7
has been fairly well behaved.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Or could
it be a dreaded intermittent occurrence?

Re: [LegacyUG] Private Flaming

[Hugh Busey]

Connie,

Your "private flamer" has certainly been proven out-of-line.  Please try to
ignore him.  We need people like you.  This thread has resonated on this
topic, although a few may have misread your original premise.  A number of
"LUGs" have agreed that, while database programs can be helpful in
organizing genealogical information, they are not effective at desktop
publishing.  When I was a TMG user, I was forced to conclude that TMG would
not be adequate for writing my Family History.  Perhaps if my goal were
publishing professional genealogy reports, either program would do, although
to me, both would have been a compromise.

So here's how I have been proceeding recently:  I enter the vital data and
sources into Legacy normally, add historical context, biographical and human
interest references into Event Notes with source data, now using Source
Writer to produce consistent "professional" citations.  This of course
overloads Events but gives a great Chronological feel for the ancestor's
life.  I still miss the likes of Manuscript for writing and publishing.

One of my complaints of both programs is the child-like repetitiveness of
database facts when using pre-formed sentences to create narratives.  The
Descendant reports have most of the information I want but, as written, are
deadly boring to other non-genealogist family members.  To rectify this I
save the report as a PDF file, convert it to Word format and go to work on
it to try to flesh out my ancestors' lives a bit.  Most of the content is
there - it just needs some humanizing.

At the same time I've been experimenting with presentation and storage
methods such as linking to other narratives, images, descriptions and
historical context, indexing, etc. all on the same self-contained DVD.  My
generation may soon be gone so I may never have to resort to paper! (g)

Before the nay-bobs berate me that this of off-topic, let me suggest that
this is the future of genealogy and is on-topic for us and for a company
like Millenia.  Thanks.

  Hugh

frankly, I've been on some contentious lists and message boards and have
developed a rather thick skin, but this one takes the prize for
passive-aggressiveness.  To those who seem to have nothing better to do than
write aggressive messages to posters who innocently violate your concept of

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing papers and Using Legacy

[Hugh Busey]

Connie,

Thank you for being honest and brave enough to say this publicly.
After years of working with three different software programs, I have
arrived at similar conclusions.  In my opinion, Legacy is a wonderful
tool for organizing research results and helping identify what's
missing but it's an almost impossible task for any software program to
also auto-write a family history.   I think this is a worthy topic for
the LUG and by all means should be heard by the Millenia folks.   It's
up to them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Defaults

[Hugh Busey]

Carloyn,

I too make use of the Surety feature and would like to share my
experience regarding the level given to census data.  Over the years I
have noted a number of spelling, age, and birth place errors, all in
the handwriting of the census taker.  As an example, my 2-great
grandfather's given name was Willard and I couldn't find him in any of
the Chicago census, although he was correctly listed in the City
Directories.  I finally did locate him in the census as William.  The
rest of the family matched.  Age errors are relatively common and
birthplace errors fairly rare.  I only assign a Surety of 4 to copies
of original documents and census are at best a 3.  The images may be
original but they are not always accurate.

Then after performing census indexing for the LDS, I came to realize
how difficult interpreting some of the handwriting can be.
Transcribing any document separates it from the original and
automatically lowers my confidence in it.  IMHO, transcribed census
materials rate a Surety of 2; original images a 2 or 3, depending on
handwriting clarity and other factors.

My opinion for what it's worth, but I don't think I'm alone.

BTW, I set my default Surety to 0, which forces me to make a judgment
on every source I enter.

[LegacyUG] New Laptop - Installation Summary Sheet?

[Hugh Busey]

Hi Sherry, et al:

I'm a fairly happy user of V.7.0.0.86 and am about to replace my old
laptop.  The Desktop will remain my primary computer with backups to a "D"
drive and a memory stick.  The laptop is wireless-connected and will be used
as another backup and for field work and teaching.  Both use XP Pro.

Two questions - I find the LUG full of suggestions to the point of
confusion.  Maybe you have a summary sheet.  The On-line Help Install To A
Different Location refers to Legacy5Setup.exe - are these instructions
applicable to Ver. 7?

1.  Should I load the original Legacy 7.0 program from my disk and then
up-date it from the 'net, copy and then load the current program and data
files using a memory stick, or do a full backup and restore?  Should I hold
off a week or two for a new up-date or go with it as is?  It's been a while
since version  .86 came out and we still have expectations.

2.  How do you suggest we name and organize the data files.  I want the
desktop and laptop to be identical for clean backups.

A few years ago I started a small genealogy group in my community and have
ended up tutoring Legacy some.  One of the most difficult parts for new
users is entering the data in a way that will give them the results they
would like.  I may have some suggestions I'd be glad to discuss off-line.

Thanks, Hugh

Re: [LegacyUG] Hint For Using Templates

[Hugh Busey]

Kirsten,

Yes, I did exactly the same thing to figure it out but there were some
templates that would not print out exactly as I wanted in the Event
field, Chronology display and Ancestor Books.  Did you have this
problem?  I ended up giving up my Event preferences for Census records
and City Directories and converted them to Residence events and even
then they weren't perfect.

I can envision a way of providing that degree of flexibility but I
wouldn't want to try to code it, at least with the different ways we
all use the Source and Detail splits.

I agree.  I like V.7.  Providing all those features while maintaining the
flexibility we all enjoy was very difficult.  I think it was well tested and
had remarkably few significant bugs.  I'm happy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Software Testing

[Hugh Busey]

Ward,

Well said - I concur completely. From over 40 years as a medical instrument
developer I find your words accurate and on-target.  Some of the criticism
of
Millenia has been unfair and misdirected.  The accusers only need to be
taken through the verification and validation testing cycle once to realize
how
incredibly complex software testing can be.

As a software product matures, more features are invariably added.  More
features equate to many more variables.  Similarly in this case, Legacy has
been written the program with an extreme amount of flexibility which we all
enjoy.  Flexibility *multiplies* the number of variables once again.
Flexible and
complex outputs of flexible and complex software is a nightmare to fully
test.

I'd suggest that we all cool our jets and give this highly responsive
company a
chance to address our complaints and make appropriate corrections. I dare
say
they will never be able to satisfy every complaint or wish list they receive
but
I bet they'll try!

I own three and tried a fourth genealogy package and this is the best one
for me.

Thanks, Millenia!

michele,

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool?

[Hugh Busey]

Mike,

I'm an ex-TMG user myself.  You're gonna love Legacy!

I find just showing the Citation Previews in the Add Source Detail screen
helps get
through the sourcing process.  That in itself was worth the up-grade from V.
6 to 7.0.
It's SO much easier than TMG and as flexible as it needs to be.  Good luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] (LegacyUG) Event: Transfer of Deed

[Hugh Busey]

*Thanks Ron and Elsie.

My problem is that the format doesn't handle more than one person such as;
"Betsey B. and
WIllard Meacham transferred property to Philo Sage".  However, there aren't
so many transfers
that I can't write the details for each in the description field and leave
the auto-format fields blank.
Now I'll see if that causes any reporting hick-ups.

BTW, I liked your approach to Census Events a few months ago so much that
I'm going through
and modifying all my Censii data.  Thanks for that.

[LegacyUG] (LegacyUG) Event: Transfer of Deed

[Hugh Busey]

The purchase and sale of land was an important event in our ancestor's
lives.  I would like to
display the date and place in the Chronology Report.  However I find no
Event to document
the transfer of a deed, land or property from one person to another in the
Events list.

Am I missing something?  How are you handling it?

Re: [LegacyUG] Events without Sources

[Hugh Busey]

Hi Linda,

Are you sure you're ready for this?  I did it and sure didn't like what I
found!

 For all missing sources:  SEARCH > MISSING SOURCES
Check the 2nd box "Anything (meaning that one or more items do not have a
source"
Click "Create List"
This will report everything without a source including all "Chr"s. If your
database is like mine, I have many missing christenings.

To skip the missing "Chr"s, go back and remove the 2nd box and click the
following:
   Birth Date and Place
   Death Date and Place
   Marriage Date and Place
Click "Create List"

Now the fun begins!

 Hugh

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Relationship Report

[Hugh Busey]

Carol,

Dawn's clarification is correct - when you press the Options button on the
Index screen, the third option down in the drop down menu is "Customize
columns...  "  That takes you to the Index View Columns screen.  Say you
want the 4th column to show your relationship to everyone - press the fourth
square button down in the column near the center of the screen.  It will
give you a long list of Field Name choices to display.  Scroll down and
press Relationship.  Press close and the "Husband of 1st Cousin 4 Times
Removed" or whatever will be displayed.

Once the words become familiar, I'm sure you'll see how easy it actually
is.  Let me know if you get stuck.

In that case try this:  Go to *INDEX* - that will show all individuals in
your database in a very flexible matrix.  Select the *Options* button in the
upper right hand corner.  Select *Customize Columns *from the drop down

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Ver 7.0

[Hugh Busey]

Hi Ron,

It has been a long wait alright but from what I've seen, it will be worth
it.

To Millenia's defense, I do know from years of product development that the
more features you include, the more chance for unintended consequences.
It's almost impossible for the original software designer to anticipate the
best
and most stable architecture on which to build for unknown future features.

Then add in a new and somewhat less than perfect operating system (many
professional IT's refuse to use Vista) and a few 3rd party software packages

and you have an impossibly complex testing mess on your hands.  IMHO,
Millenia gets plaudits for their de-bugging and testing process and for
standing
up to our pressure to ship.  20/20 hindsight says perhaps they should not
have
let the cat out of the bag quite so early but that's often a competitive
business
decision to freeze potential customers.

I've been as anxious as anyone for Ver.7 but have been willing to wait for a

truly useful product.

Re: [LegacyUG] v7 update to 7.0.0.38

[Hugh Busey]

Geoff,

I bought a second copy of V.6 at your seminar on Cape Cod last October in
order to get on the V.7 queue.  Since I haven't received V.7 yet, I assume
it's because I didn't install and register the newer V.6.  ("If ain't broke,
don't fix it")

What's my best course of action to get V.7 now - go ahead and register the
new V.6?

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a Move

[Hugh Busey]

Georgia,

I have settled on using the Address event and make a note from where - to
where, with as close a date as I can get.  That way it shows up in the
Chronology Report which is an important tool for putting together a family
or personal history.

Thanks for the suggestion, John.  I own Snag-it and it's supposed to be able

didn't seem

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing th Name Index Screen

[Hugh Busey]

Sherry,

Thank you.  Yes, I understand that and I've done those things.  However, I
haven't been
able to print the Index Report in color nor with bold.type as it's displayed
on the screen.

I like to use the tab listing as a tool to help identify any 'holes' I may
have in my documentation,
particularly in the direct family lines.  I use the following columns in
landscape mode:
Full Name, Father, Birth Date, Birth Place, Death Date and Death Place.  The
bold
helps me pick out the direct line individuals.

I have used the tagging in the Search mode to separate out the direct lines
but all the
information is already there in the color tabbed display.  If I can't print
it out, I can
live with it but printing would be nice.  See how you've spoiled us!

[LegacyUG] Printing th Name Index Screen

[Hugh Busey]

Hi All,

Has anyone found a way of printing the entire Name Index?  I find its
flexible information content, individual
color coding and bolded direct ancestors to be very useful but I can only
capture one window at a time.
As flexible as Legacy is, I must be missing somethning.  Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Labelling Rows in Legacy Charting?

[Hugh Busey]

Hello Susan,

Years ago I generated my own 13-generation ancestral spreadsheet charts that
align the generation boxes horizontally and color codes the families
vertically.  The boxes contain the usual b,m,d event date and location
information and references to notes on separate sheets.  Genealogists and
non-genealogists alike find the format immediately informative and
intuitive.  Its biggest problems are keeping it up-to-date and printing the
large format.  I also have a limited version that can be printed on one
legal sheet for e-mailing.

I've thought about tying it into Legacy's database format but inputting,
separating and parsing all that data is more of a project than I care to
undertake.  Maybe I should see if Goeff and company would be interested in
adapting some of its features in their charts.  It would be easy for them to
do.

[LegacyUG] Sourcing and the Mormon Digitizing Project

[Hugh Busey]

*Elizabeth and Maureen, et al,

I concur with both of your sentiments but perhaps for slightly different
reasons.  The world of genealogy will forever change when the Mormons and
the thousands of everyday genealogists working with them can complete the
enormous project of scanning and indexing all of the documents in their
mountain storage vaults now underway.   The clear scanning, thorough
indexing and transcribing, and placing these documents on-line will vastly
simplify our gathering family history data. The images and transcriptions of
some of the census documents I've seen so far are more clear, accurate and
easily accessible than they are today.
*

*
Beyond that, I understand they are now planning and negotiating with other
database sites to assemble a centralized document location index.  That
could be nearly as important to we everyday genealogists as the scanning and
indexing project. Imagine entering gg-grandfather Brown's name, state and
date and receiving back the location of his War of 1812 records or probate
documents or obscure correspondence buried in some little known archive.

With this in mind, I have modified my own source documentation requirements
to provide sufficient location detail along with an original image record
for either me or a descendant to "re-find" the document in the FamilySearch
records when they become available. Combined, these two projects have the
potential to become a significant portion of the varied repositories we use
today.  I trust their plans include supplying standardized and easy-to-use
source location details.*

*Your thoughts and discussion will be welcome.*
*
*

*Hugh Busey*

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing info from the IGI

[Hugh Busey]

*Ron -

As a matter of fact, Ancestry does own FTM.  But that's beside the point.

I would never pollute my carefully documented genealogy with the incorrect,
un-verified, data on the IGI, WorldConnect or other user-submitted
databases.  It should only be used as guidance as to where to look.  I saw a
submission quite recently where the mother was 8 years old!

Re: [LegacyUG] Unnamed stillborns

[Hugh Busey]

It has seemed to me that the primary purpose for documenting
a stillborn birth (or a miscarriage for that matter), is to pass on
potentially useful medical information.  Therefore, I have used
the Medical Notes in both parents' files that allow as much
cause-of-death detail as needed without having to use confusing
abbreviations.

[LegacyUG] Ver.7.0 Release

[Hugh Busey]

I hope Goeff will answer this one.

I outgrew one genealogy program and didn't care for another but Legacy gives
me most of what I'm looking for.  Thank you.  I've been using it for two
years now

One of the items I've felt could use some improvement though, is source
entry.  I understand that Ver. 7.0 addresses this and another item or two
that I'm interested it.  I have been holding up further data and source
entry in hopes that the new version will be released soon.  A research trip
to Allen County is sneaking up on me in a few weeks and I'll probably become
overwhelmed with data. (g)  Can you up-date us on your anticipated release
date?

As a work-around, if I were to enter data now with just a short name as a
source placeholder, would I be able to edit it later using your improved
templates?  Will all the individual pointers correctly identify the new
source data?  Thanks.

Hugh W. Busey

Re: [LegacyUG] birth, marriage and death Events?

[Hugh Busey]

Ralf, Wendy, Cathy, Jenny:

Thank you all for a very useful and stimulating subject.  This is one part
of Legacy that I feel is open to some improvement - at least the user
interface part of sourcing.  I have been and still am in a bit of a quandry
as to how to handle the various kinds of sources and have them show up where
and how I would like them.  I'm not totally enamored with Ver. 6 source
handling.  As a result I am backed up in entering data.

I understand that Goeff and company have new and better(?) ways of doing
things coming in Ver.7.  I'm all in favor although I know next to nothing
about what they may have in mind.  I hope the "templates" I hear referred to
do not limit flexibility.

Now, as so often happens, the release date is extending out until "sometime
in the fall".  Do I hold up until then or do I go ahead and make due with
Ver. 6, warts and all?  [I'm a retired instrument designer and understand
meeting release dates, especially as complexity increases.]

For instance, I would like all of my B,M,D, census, City Dir, Events, news
articles, wills, books, etc. able to have a reference name, number and page
# or at least a numeric reference to the Master Source List.  And Ralf, I
personally don't care if they do look a "little goofy", as long as it gets
the information across.  My opinion.

Keep sharing your ideas.  We need them.

Hugh W. Busey

[LegacyUG] Ver. 7 Documentation Templates

[Hugh Busey]

I just listened to Myrt's interview with Goeff and would like to know if the
Ver. 7 documentation templates will be compatible with Ver. 6 entry forms.
As usual, I've procrastinated and now have a HUGE stack of things to enter.
Should I do it now in Ver. 6 or hold off for Ver. 7 "some time this fall"?
Or is this one of those unanswerable questions?

Will the file calls for documents be improved?  What formats?  B,m,d &
census images, etc should be called and handled differently than grandpa's
face photos.  Before I scan/convert them, it should be to something useful
and  compatible.

Will Notes displays and printouts be the same in Ver. 7.  It took a while in
Ver. 6 for my head to grasp which would show and where and which would not.
(g)

Thanks - really looking forward to the next version.  I own two other
genealogy programs and like Legacy best.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Support Help Needed

[Hugh Busey]

Jim and Sherry,

I too use gmail and for the most part like it.  I have found that it has a
pretty effective spam filter so every once in a while I have to go rescue
some responses from commercial companies that gmail thinks might be spam.  I
just tell it it's not spam and thereafter they get right through.

I had several from Sherry come right through this week.  Good luck.
