RE: [LegacyUG] Run Time Error
Thanks for the info. FYI, when I first got the message, I went to Help and searched for Run Time Error and Error Messages. There was no heading for Run Time Error and under Error Messages, it gives a list of Trouble Shooting, but again, nothing about Run Time Errors. As for links at the bottom of every message, never noticed them. And I wasn't asking anyone to "look it up for me." I looked it up myself, it's just that the answer wasn't there and I didn't know where else to look. I thought that's what this list was for -- asking questions when you didn't know the answers or where to find them. I've seen many questions here that were much more lame than mine and the responses to them were not so hand-slapping. Excuse me if I've inconvenienced everyone on the list with my question. I think I've asked a total of three questions in the four years or so I've been on this list. I guess that's too many. > Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:52:14 -0400 > From: n2...@cfl.rr.com > To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Run Time Error > > Jean Moore wrote: > > I keep getting the error "Run Time Error 3167, Record is Deleted" > > and when I click on "OK," Legacy closes.

[LegacyUG] Run Time Error
I keep getting the error "Run Time Error 3167, Record is Deleted" and when I click on "OK," Legacy closes. I reopen Legacy and look to see if the last individual I worked on or entered was deleted, but it never is. This has happened about six times in the last three days. Is there something I should do to quit getting this error and/or is it causing some harm to my database that I'm not aware of?

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Home FIXED !
Well, I found the problem. Just in case anyone else runs into this. Looking at the Legacy window, below the line of icons (home, back, name list etc) There is a line with the Legacy icon and name of the open database and at the other side the window control buttons (reduce, size, close) If I click on the middle button to resize, this whole line jumps/disappears and The buttons are at the far right of the first line (File, Edit, Add, Reports, etc). In this position, the Legacy Home page is blank (I can't see the data). Clicking the middle button again, fixes everything. I can now see the info on the page.

[LegacyUG] Question on sourcing
I've been using Legacy for many years, but recently decided it was time to go back and rethink sourcing. I had been following a method that had developed ad hoc, but now I want to get serious about it. I've read some of the threads on lumping/splitting, and it's led to a couple questions I'm sure some of you more disciplined users can help me with. I'm leaning towards lumping. It makes sense for things like US Census records, SS death index, city directories, and the like. However, for things like memorial cards, what would be the advantages of having one master source called 'Memorial cards"? That's a serious question. There's no common source information that would be shared, so what other reasons are there?

RE: [LegacyUG] Pros and Cons of Notes vs. Events Usage
I utilize the Private Notes feature in the Notes section in order to enter personal information about a living person that I do not want included in any printed reports or uploaded to my website. Some of these include illnesses, personal struggles with addictions, and family problems. I also use Research Notes to enter information about a person with the same surname who I think may be a possible relation. For example, after entering a family's information from a census record, I review that page and a few pages before and after that page for others with surnames that I am working on in that location. When I find one that I cannot immediately connect, I add their information to the Research Notes for further investigation at another time. I love the Events feature and the way it can be customized. For me, adding custom Events increases the value of the Chronology feature.Jean > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Subject: > RE: [LegacyUG] Pros and Cons of Notes vs. Events Usage> Date: Sun, 12 Oct > 2008 12:25:02 -0700> > > > I also prefer using events.

YEAH! That worked! I changed to 5 generations and was able to uncheck the boxes and the shadows. Then I changed it back to 6 generations.

Thank you for trying to duplicate my problem. I hadn't tried to check that box before. I just went there and tried now, but nothing happened. It's still grayed out and won't let me check it. Also, I do have the deluxe version and I have activated it.Thanks, again.

[LegacyUG] Printing a Pedigree Chart w/o Shadowed Boxes
I am using Version 7.0.0.55 and am trying to print a Pedigree Chart. When I look at the Print Preview, the chart is formatted with Shadowed Boxes. In addition, the text is not fitting into the boxes, but is printing above, below, and on top of the lines of the boxes. I would like to turn off the option for Shadowed Boxes and also try the chart without any boxes at all. To try to accomplish this, I clicked on Reports, Report Menu (Charts), Pedigree tab, then Report Options and then the Format tab. I see a checkmark in the box next to the word "Shadowed." I would like to uncheck it; however, it is grayed out, along with "Put boxes around individuals," "Fancy corners," the "Choose" button and most of the other choices on the page. I cannot figure out how to "ungray" any of these items. (And, interestingly, there is no checkmark in the box next to "Put boxes around individuals," yet there are boxes shown on the chart.) Maybe I am just supposed to use the new Charting feature instead of the Report Menu. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Jean _ Get more from your digital life.

From looking around at maps, etc, It appears that English or British American colonies might be a good solution.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Using the Source Clipboard (was: A weird problem)
Ok, I guess this is where I do it differently and never considered what you have done. I put the lines used for the household, since that doesn't change and I'm recording the family data in a census. I copy the event without anyone in bold and paste & add the bold to each person as i go. Then I go back and add the bold to the head of household last. With the bold I can easily pick out where the person, who's file I'm looking at, sits in each event relative to everyone else. And then nothing needs changing. Which line they are on is obvious via the line copied from the census in the list, in my mind. But you could clarify by substituting the line numbers for each person rather than going 1, 2, 3,... For instance: you could do it 19. John Pinkney... 20. Amanda Pinkney...

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: both Patrick's have the same RIN, and both Elizabeth's have the same RIN [ was Oh dear am I in a mess ]
So now you need to look to see if the children are still linked to wife 15 or husband 833 or 1358 ... who is 1358? and where did he/she come from? Is there a marriage to an unknown and all these children linked to that marriage? If not then you just need to find the kids and link them to the couple again and that should bring their decendants along with them. If the children are linked to one of the parents with an unknown other parent, you tell legacy that unknown is actually known and say it is the correct other parent and then you can merge those two parents. That merge should bring in the decendants. This mess may take awhile to iron out, so take it slow and steady is my advice. And as someone said, keep saving your database before you do things.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event notes was Lumping/Splitting or Events
If you put the event notes between double square brackets, then the notes don't show up on the chronology page either. This then limits how the chronology page helps you keep all you know about person when you are searching records or deciding what to search next. I use the events as a basis for a bio that I write-up in the person's general notes. Then I can choose not to print the events at all.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template
Elizabeth, Maybe I'm missing something but I think what you are asking for is the Chronology tab at the top of your screen. When you click on that tab you see all the vital data & events for the person's life that you have entered in chronological order. It was created for just the purpose you are suggesting... ie to look at all the data you have on that person in one place. And that is why so many of us type in all the census data or ship record data, etc into the notes section of an event and then copy & paste the event (complete with source) to events for each person named. It does NOT show any data put in the notes section though, so if that is where you put everything you will have to create a few events in order to see how this works. But the copy feature of events, which as I said copies the source also, does not allow you to make the source detail particular for each person. But you don't need to do that once you are seeing everything in the chronology tab. I don't think this is a deluxe feature, but not sure. Jean - Original Message - From: "ewintr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 12:36 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Source Template Thank you to all who have replied to my email. I guess having a lot of master sources isn't as big a problem as I thought since some of you have many in your legacy programs. But I'd like to know a little more about the deluxe version as mentioned in an email from Cathy (below). The cost of the deluxe version is prohibitive but may be possible in the future. Does it allow you to show "ALL" the information from census records, death certificates, etc etc etc in one place, at one time, so that there is no need to be clicking boxes, opening tabs etc? I realize that the way I am doing this in the free version is probably strange but it is sooo easy for me to be able to just open the Research tab and have everything right there in one place to look at while searching online. I can see at a glance which census records I have and all the data they include, plus all the other records and their data. I can see whether I have found a service record and what it said or a birth record at Ancestry/Genealogy/Etc and what was included in that record. This saves me so much time and repetition if I am looking for additional information about an ancestor or even someone listed in the census with them, or any other ancestor mentioned in any of their records, or locations where I might find them and so on. It's all right there in front of me. I definitely don't want to be printing out a lot of the information and have to sort through it or find a place to file it. I guess I'm wondering if the deluxe version has this ability. I don't want just the 'Events' of a person's life to show, I also want all the data from all records right there to look at as I search. I suppose I can keep on doing it this way and I was hoping there might be an easier way to do the sourcing and think you all have provide some answers concerning that aspect.

Re: [LegacyUG] One tested method of organizing files ...a bit more still
Gary, I tried using a letter in front of the number for my adoptive family database so that when I'm gone that database could be willed to descendants of that family and separated by my children easily. The problem is that then the ability to see what the next number is in "file id" in Legacy is lost, so I discarded that and do not put a letter in front of anything. An alphabetical report would be helpful. Right now I also have a database in Works where I can search on any field and within fields (ie, family name field with several names in it separated by two spaces) to find sources and info. This way the adoptive family sources could be separated via this sort.

I can provide more on categories if requested. A record filing system is a record filing system. It is a system for filing and retrieving records.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking a document based filing system to individuals in Legacy
If I understand your question, to some extent it will be trial and error. Depending on how you have structured your sources you will have to go to master lists/sources, then show list and tag them. OR you'll have to go to a specific source detail connected with one person and show list for that and tag them, go add the file id and untag and then go on to the next one. And again, I would use the file it as you got it, system and find one person using that source, do a show list, tag and correct and untag, go to the next source you have and do again.

Re: [LegacyUG] One tested method of organizing files ...a bit more
Loran, You bring up the key point... ie, the need of most systems for "either cross-referencing or duplicating when we have one group of people (such as in a group photo or in a census family)", which is why I use the file it as I got it system which files sources once but is referenced by all that use it. When I find a census record I print it out and file it with the next number available sequencially (starting with 0001) in my binders and record that number in the FILE ID on the source detail screen in Legacy. Then when I'm asked a question about a source it takes me seconds to find it by going to that person in my database and checking the source for the ID number. Each person in the census gets this same source with the same FILE ID #, BUT IT IS FILED ONCE. After reading Bob's post, now I'm going to scan everything or retrieve it from the web in a photo format and preserve them on cd's also, using the FILE ID # as the name of the photo. I am also a firm believer in keeping one database because I find that we are all related. It didn't take that long for me to find that my husband's line connects to my birth family's line and my birth family's line connects to my adoptive family's line ( I love saying I'm related to myself). The idea of putting these lines in twice was not acceptable. Jean - Original Message - From: "Loran Braught" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "LegacyUserGroup" Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 11:55 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] One tested method of organizing files ...a bit more Frankly I will not endeavor to defend the standard ahnentafel nor the library cross referencing systems that have survived virtually all options for many decades. I am not a professional genealogist, but I have noticed that the more we try to merge family lines into one file the more difficulties we create for ourselves in organizing the data. For sure it is much easier to merge family lines than separate them and for sure merging family lines will deeply challenge organizing the data. I do not see how to avoid the choice of either cross-referencing or duplicating when we have one group of people (such as in a group photo or in a census family). My personally chosen method is to create separate pedigree lines for each grandparent surname and use the same ahnentafel system for each. This would appear somewhat like the soundex pattern with each surname preceding systematic numbering. This pattern can be extended to as many surname lines as you pick, but I can not handle documentation tasks for more than four families much farther than about five generations. Good luck to those who think that they can. The major strength of the ahnentafel organization is that every one not only has a unique number, but that number simultaneously identifies the family relationship of the preferred direct family line. Those not in that direct line with ahnentafel identification can simply continue using the RIN/MRIN system that has basis only for the random entry sequence. Incidentally, if we add a sibling who belonged inside a chronological order, the only ahnentafel numbers that need to be re-sorted and renumbered are those of that one family (no big task). As someone remarked, no one is obligated to use any organizational system and folks are entitled to keep their data in piles instead of files. I merely have watched the ahnentafel system work much smoother than other options I have observed and decided to share the idea in case folks want to analyze or test the comparisons. If anyone wants to discuss this with me further, please contact me directly as I really do not want to clutter this message board with perpetual clarifications or debate on this one issue.

[LegacyUG] Set Direct Line as Preferred
I created a focus group of an ancestor and his descendants and imported it into a new file. I renumbered the RIN's to start at number 1. In the new file, my name appears as number 1, not the starting ancestor I chose in the focus group. I don't think this really matters, I just thought it odd. My real problem is: In the new file, I set one of the descendants of this ancestor as the preferred direct line under Tools and customized to highlight the names in his direct line and include an asterisk. Unfortunately, in addition to his direct line having the asterisk and being highlighted, they still appear at my name and with all of my direct line. (We only share two direct-line ancestors.) I've tried setting him as preferred a few times and turning the customization on and off. I've also exported and imported again with him being the preferred direct line in the original file. It hasn't fixed anything. Any suggestions? (What I'm trying to do is make a Legacy file for a cousin with just his branch of the family. The only way I could figure how to do it was by forming a focus group, exporting to a GEDCOM, and importing the GEDCOM to a new file. Maybe someone knows a better way to accomplish this.)

Re: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation of Legacy?
Interesting reason for finding the DNA part of Legacy too intrusive. As an adoptee I find the DNA section to be a real hope for us and vital. Adoptees are the ones having to prove a blood relationships due to our real birth certificates being kept from us. That is in America... my memory is that Britain and Australia have made some reforms in this area but I have forgotten specifics. DNA may be the only way we can figure out & prove who we are genetically. (off topic a bit) While I know families of adoptees think they need to affirm the legitimacy of the adoptee in their family and they should, the problem with that is the unsaid part of not acknowledging the other family an adoptee has... the birth family. The very natural need to know your birth family information is too often seen as being disloyal to the people who raised you. Medical issues alone should make this need obvious. It would be so much better for adoptees if we saw them as having two families, one genetic and one environmental, and gave them them the right to all information regarding those families. So I am suggesting that the adoptees within your family might see the DNA section differently. Additionally, DNA tests could prevent adoptees and sperm donor children from marrying a relative without knowing it. Throwing out a different way of looking at it.
