RE: [LegacyUG] Location Mapping

RE: [LegacyUG] Death location
Roxanne, I've got a better story. When I was 19 years old I came from college for the summer of 1970. For some reason not remembered, I was using my step-mother's car and opened the trunk. There was a flight bag there and being curious I unzipped it. Lo and behold! There were my mother's ashes in their sealed urn! Why my Dad put them there I don't know, but when I told my step-mom, she nearly flipped! She had been driving all over San Diego with the first wife's cremations in the back end for who knows how long! I urged my Dad to respectfully find a less mobile resting place for my mother. Permanent disposition unknown to me to this day.

I noticed you can't select both cremated and burial. It's either one or the other. I think I have a separate event for cremations. A body is normally either buried or cremated. So, death details apply as usual. Change the Burial/Cremation details to read Cremation and enter the date and details. Then, either enter the interment details in the Notes for the Cremation or, create an event as in former case. -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

RE: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example
Yes, thank you Evert! Legacy's Advanced Set Living feature can be reached by clicking Tools on the menu bar and selecting Advanced Set Living. This option does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates.

Bob, The 60 maximum is programmed into Legacy. You can have 60 children per couple. A man could father more than 60 children, but I presume that he would have several wives or concubines or whatever. But, I don't think it is reasonable to assume that one woman would give birth to more than 60 children -- ouch!

[LegacyUG] Master Location List - Solution for run-time error '3019' Operation invalid without a current index
Sherry and I have figured out the cause of Run-time error '3019' Operation invalid without a current index which is occurring in the Master Location List. Sherry is sending in the bug report and I am contacting you who are subscribed to the Legacy User Group with the work-around: 1. Please click on Options on the menu bar and choose Customize. 2. In the Customize window, click the View tab and then select 'Use the Master Location List with the Mapping feature'. 3. Open the Master Source List and it will function without error 3019 or freezing. 4. At this point, if you select Show Map, you will need to close the Master Location List and reopen it for the map to actually appear. The solution for this error 3019 should appear in the next free update to the Legacy program. I do not have a date for when that will happen.

RE: [LegacyUG] Enter adopted parents family?
Red, I am adopted and at age 35 tracked down my biological parents, so I now have two set of parents for me in my Legacy family file. 1. To add second set of parents, work in Family View and put the adoptee in the husband or wife box. 2. Next click the Parents icon (tool button) in the row of icons at the bottom of their box. 3. In the Parents screen click 'Add New Parents' and follow the steps to add the biological parents. 4. To set the preferred parents, highlight them and click Select in the upper right corner of the Parents screen. 5. To set the Child Status and Relationship to Parents start with the adoptive parents in Family View and then click Edit on the menu bar and select Children's Settings. 6. In the Children screen set the Child Status to Adopted and set the relationship to the father and mother, then close the screen. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the biological parents in Family View and set the Child Status to Biological and the relationship to the father and mother to Biological. When you want to generate book style reports for the biological lineage, be sure to click the Wording 1 tab and adjust the wording for the parents and children to suit your preferences. Also click the Report Options tab and on the Include tab select the options you want for Child Status and Child-Parent Relationships.

RE: [LegacyUG] missing master source
Anne, Here is something worth investigating. In the Master Source List make sure there are no check marks in any of the box in the 'Show Only area under the Help button on the right side. If there are any check marks here, try removing them --especially the Verified and Unverified boxes. To open the Master Source List click on View on the menu bar and select Master Lists Source.

I have been using Legacy for years. Using updated version. Two days ago I created a new master source and began using it. I was copying and pasting it into various places. Today I went to find it in the Master Source list and it is simply not there. I put mine in under groups to find easily ie: Book:. I have checked and rechecked; it isn't there in the list. The only way I can use it is to go back to where it has been used for an individual and copy and paste it. I ran a source report (master source only) and it was listed among them. !!! I did file maintenance. I know you are going to say, it is there, but I'm sure it isn't listed. I would create another new one to replace it, but I can't delete the first one because I can't find it !!

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriage, Divorce, Marriage
Kathleen, I did like Jenny Benson suggests for my aunt who married a second time to the same man after nearly ten years of separation by divorce. This could result in some unusual report wording, but there are ways to handle this in Legacy. You can change the marriage wording any way that you want. You don't have to accept Legacy defaults. There are a couple of different places in Legacy where relationship wording can be changed to suit your preferences: Marriage Information screen - To open the Marriage Information screen click on the Marriage bar below the Husband and WIfe in Family View. Wording Options Tab Family View Labels Choose the labels you would like to use when displaying this marriage couple. The default labels are Husb and Wife. Default Report Phrases if this is the First Marriage The traditional (and default) phrase used when printing reports is married. John married Sarah..., or Sarah married John If the This couple did not marry option has been selected, the default changes to had a relationship with. John had a relationship with Sarah..., or Sarah had a relationship with John (The defaults for these two phrases can be changed globally in the Options Customize View Default Family View Labels and Report Wording box.) If you want to change the phrase for this marriage/partnership only, you can type a new phrase into the box. Keep in mind that this phrase is used to build the beginning of a sentence. The sentence will then have the date and place added to it. John married Sarah on 12 Dec 1888 in London, England... Overriding the Report Phrases If you would like to completely change the narrative wording that Legacy normally uses to construct a sentence for a report, you can change it to anything you want to. Whereas the default wording above automatically inserts the first name of each of the spouses/partners, these new override phrases does not. You must include the names in the phrase. This gives you the option to modify the names and to change the order of the parts. Johnny took Sarah as his wife ... or Johnny and Sarah got married ... or John married his high school sweetheart Sarah Again, this is the beginning portion of a sentence that will have the date and location added to it, so keep this in mind. You must construct two versions of the sentence, one describing the husband's first marriage (or partnership) and the other describing the wife's first marriage. Default Report Phrases if this is Not the First Marriage Similar to the wording for a first marriage, the default phrase used for a second or later marriage is next married or next had a relationship with. John next married Sarah..., or Sarah next had a relationship with John If you want to change the phrase for this subsequent marriage/partnership only, you can type a new phrase into the box. Overriding the Report Phrases Just as with the first marriage, you can enter your own wording for later marriages. Later in his life Johnny got remarried to Ruth ... or Several years after her divorce, Sarah met a man named Alfred and they were married Again, this is the beginning portion of a sentence that will have the date and location added to it, so don't put a period at the end. Again, as with the first marriage, you must construct two versions of the sentence. Other word substitutes You can also change the terms Spouse and Marriage to other words that will be used in various reporting situations. Customize screen - To open the Customize screen, click on Options on the menu bar and select Customize. 1. View tab Default Marriage Wording Many words and phrases can be customized in Legacy. These are used to label various information boxes and to create sentences for report and web site output. Family View Labels The terms Husband and Wife are normally used on the Family View for the two main individuals if they have marriage information or have children. You can change this default behavior by changing the Left Side: and Right Side: fields. The Husb and Wife terms are used if the couple is married. If the couple is not married, the Male and Female terms on the second line are used. If there is only one person showing, and there are no children, the Male and Female terms on the third line are shown. You can make changes to any of these terms to make new defaults in your family file. Report Phrases for First Marriage or Partnership You can choose the default word or phrase to use when a sentence is built for a narrative-style report. There are four variations, two for use when the couple are married (one for when the spouse is identified and the other for when the spouse is unknown) and the other two are for when they are not married (again, one for when the spouse is identified and the other for when the spouse is unknown). When adding a marriage or partnership to your family file, these words or phrases are used by default. For example, John married Sarah... or

Don, 1. We haven't been silent. I sent out two e-mails about the problem - one message at 9:08 am Pacific Time, and one at 1:41 pm Pacific Time. You apparently did not read them. 2. The original repeating messages were actually a problem created by a Legacy subscriber and not an actual malfunction in the list server. 3. As a matter of fact, I count some 65 message sent to the group by Legacy subscribers about the problem.

[LegacyUG] RE: [LegacyUserGroup] List Subscription Notification
List Subscribers, We regret the hiccup with the list server that sent out scores of List Subscription Notification message to every subscriber. I received 58 such messages myself, but none after 12:30 am. I have searched for a list server report that would tell me what happened, but can't find anything. So the cause is a mystery. I am asking for a ban on anymore comments/relies since this looks like an isolated problem that seems unlikely to repeat. One of the reasons for asking for the ban is that my Spam filter is now catching most of the reply messages with List Subscription Notification in the subject line.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop. When I got it, it ran slow which I thought was strange for a new PC. I uninstalled most of the junk programs that came with it and cleaned up the registry. That helped improve the speed some. After a couple of days, I got used to Vista and haven't had any problems. The only thing that I really notice is that Vista tends to be a little slow, but that's because it's a huge OS. The only programs I have installed under Vista are AVG Anti-Virus, AVG Anti-Spyware, Legacy 6.0, Legacy 7.0 Beta and Legacy Charting.

There is one simple point to make - What any of you or I think - we don't count and whatever we say doesn't count. If the listowners don't declare something off-topic then it may be on topic no matter what the rest of you say or what I think. Something to think about is the fact someone is here asking about something you think is off-topic may be telling the folks at legacy that they need to change their documentation etc. So before any of us starting telling someone else they are on or off topic, perhaps we should defer to the people who actually own this list and make that determination. In the first place it would eliminate a lot of the discussion of what is on and off topic. I'm not paying for this list - most of you aren't. They know who this list is aimed at and the technical skills they think those people should have. We don't. They represent the company that is paying for this and perhaps they should be the ones making the determination. In the past they've stepped in when they have felt something was off-topic.

There is one simple point to make - What any of you or I think - we don't count and whatever we say doesn't count. If the listowners don't declare something off-topic then it may be on topic no matter what the rest of you say or what I think. Something to think about is the fact someone is here asking about something you think is off-topic may be telling the folks at legacy that they need to change their documentation etc. So before any of us starting telling someone else they are on or off topic, perhaps we should defer to the people who actually own this list and make that determination. In the first place it would eliminate a lot of the discussion of what is on and off topic. I'm not paying for this list - most of you aren't. They know who this list is aimed at and the technical skills they think those people should have. We don't. They represent the company that is paying for this and perhaps they should be the ones making the determination. In the past they've stepped in when they have felt something was off-topic.

I attended the Sacramento Root Cellar seminar a week ago and we got a tiny preview of the Source Writer and how it works. The best I can remember, when you are beginning to site a source, you choose what kind (vital, book, census, etc) and a box appears appropriate to that source. You still have to decide on, and fill in, the title, author, publisher, etc. and, most critically, choose how to word your Master Source. What happens automatically is that the Source Writer creates (on the right hand side of your screen) the correctly formatted footnote and bibliography citation based on the information you have filled in. We all still have to decide on a personal level how we want our Master Source list to read and function. We still have to figure out who the author of a government document is, etc. What we won't have to do is agonize over the accepted form for the citation of footnotes and bibliographies in any book we publish. This is what I took away from Geoff's presentation. I think what really troubles many of us is knowing what information to put in each box. Having been a librarian, I know how agonizing this is. We had a multi-volume work to help determine who the author of a work is, the publisher, etc. If we were only dealing with published books this wouldn't be so difficult but what is confusing (for genealogists) is working with documents whose authorship is not always clear (to me, anyway). I have studied - and use - the method that Geoff explains on the dvd Ultimate Guide to Sources. More about this can also be found under tips (go down to Source Citations) on the Legacy Home page. Using this consistently has gotten easier and I am happy with my sources.

John I have been using Legacy Deluxe for a few weeks now, and generally I like it.

I am using build (6.0.0.190) of the deluxe version. When I first started using Legacy a few weeks ago, everything was fine. I backed up a few times (both family and media files) with no problem. Now I am getting errors whenever I try any number of techniques to backup either of those files. I started with the obvious- file- backup family file. I've tried using different locations, and even tried it on two different computers, and I keep getting Backup Error 504; cannot create temporary file. When I try to back up my media files, I get a different but just as consistent error: Error 3044. C/legacy/temp/LG~0.tmp is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. I am aware of typical naming conventions and used an older convention legacybackup20080317, or LegacyBackup2008_03_17 and neither works. I spent an hour and a half tonight just trying to backup my files, and I'm really aggravated now.

Ken, In Index View, clicking the RIN button should sort everyone in your family file by RINs. In the Name List, clicking the # button should sort everyone by RINs. Are you saying that this is not happening?

RE: [LegacyUG] Word Document
Barbara, The RTF format is a generic word processing document that you can open in MS Word. To produce this type of report output format, click the option near the bottom-right corner of the reports that support this output type. When you do, the Print icon turns into Save icon. Clicking this icon prompts you for a filename and location for saving the rich text format file. It will have a file extension of .rtf. When the file has been saved, Legacy offers to open it with your default word processor if you want to view it or work with it. With the RTF file open in MS Word you can edit it to add additional information and pictures. Index and Table of Content codes are even embedded in the RTF file so that MS Word can generate these items and refer to the correct page numbers. The recommended order for working in the RTF file is: 1. First, make any changes/additions you want to the body of the book. 2. When done editing the book, then generate the Table of Contents using the MS Word's Index and Tables feature. (Click on Insert and select Reference Index and Tables.) 3. The very last step is to generate the Index using the MS Word's Index and Tables feature. (Click on Insert and select Reference Index and Tables.) This order is very important because the page numbering for the Table of Contents and the Index won't be right if you do them before making changes/additions to the book.

RE: [LegacyUG] RIN number changes
RIN and MRIN numbers are assigned in sequential order as you enter individuals and marriages in the family file. There can be no duplicate numbers because they are unique. When you import a GEDCOM file into an existing family file, the RINs and MRINs that were in the GEDCOM file renumbered, with the exception of possibly filling in any blank RINs in the existing file.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I need some help. Hope this makes sense as I explain. I created a new Legacy family file. Then I exported multiple Legacy family files to that file to make a larger file. I connected parents to the child, wives to husbands etc. Everything seemed to have worked. I was able to run an ancestor book. No problem. Then I ran a pedigree chart report. A warning appeared. Looking at the archives I figured out it was an endless loop. I went back and cleaned up the file. I thought. But I still seem to develop multiple marriages. How do I merge the double marriages to make one marriage to fix my problem? Same spouses, 2 marriages. No people are doubles. One marriage has the child I merged to the parents the other marriage has the rest of the children. I still have a few children that I need to connect to their parents. How do I connect the last few children to the parents properly to avoid this again? I have Legacy 6 Deluxe, latest build, XP service pack 2.

Michele, There is no way to quickly/automatically renumber all your RINs in the manner you want (closest relatives, lowest RINs). You will have to do it one RIN at a time.

Re: [LegacyUG] census information
Carol, There are some work arounds which are simple to do once you understand a few principles. Please keep in mind that Notes screens and reports are two different things. What you line up in columns in Notes won't necessarily line up in columns in a report. Things like page margins, font styles and sizes, etc. all affect the appearance of reports. In addition, font styles and sizes and screen size make a difference in the Notes screen as well. Method 1: Courier Font for the appearance of columns in Notes Background: Courier is a monospaced slab serif typeface designed to resemble the output from a strike-on typewriter The design of the original Courier New typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters... and it soon became a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry. As a monospaced font, it has recently found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns of characters must be consistently aligned. [Source: Wikipedia, Courier (typeface), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(font)] Changing Fonts in Legacy 1. To change Legacy's font settings, click on Options on the menu bar and select Customize. 2. Next click on the Fonts tab and change the Screen Fonts for Notes to Courier New (the default font sizes should be left as they are). 3. Click the Save button in the lower left corner of the Fonts screen to exit. 4. Click the Help button if you need further guidance. Method 2: Inserting Tabs Another way of creating the appearance of columns in Notes is to insert tab spaces. (This does not rely on using the Courier font.) Tabs can be inserted in Notes by pressing Ctrl+Tab on your keyboard. This will help line up text at regular intervals. You can view where tabs are inserted, but before doing this you must SAVE and then reopen the Notes screen. (If you don't save first, the tabs you insert will be undone!) Next press Ctrl+Z on the keyboard and the embedded codes for the tab spaces will show as «tab».

Next press Ctrl+Z on the keyboard and the embedded codes for the tab spaces will show as «tab». Jim, I'm sure you're quite correct with how you describe these operations, but I fail to see why TAB characters would achieve the desired effect. To the best of my understanding, a TAB character is supposed to emulate the effect of a tab stop on a typewriter. Consequently, the 'length' of a TAB must vary dependent upon the selected font (and its' size), and the position of the next tab stop in relation to the current cursor position. I don't think you can set tab stop positions in a Notes field. Therefore, a TAB will only work consistently when it has a fixed length, i.e. when a monospaced font style is used and can thus be defined as a certain number of character positions. By extension, the same monospaced font style and size would need to be used when printing Notes in order to maintain the desired appearance. I don't see anywhere on the Fonts tab where the size of a monospaced TAB can be defined. Neither do I see any means of setting a standard set of tabstops across the width of a page. As a matter of personal choice, I absolutely detest the seemingly default MS tab size of 8 characters, it tends to stretch tables out unnecessarily. My preference, when coding in C, is for a 4 character TAB. I guess what I'm really saying is that whilst TABs and a monospaced font can achieve what the OP was after, it currently takes a lot of trial and error to enter data in a table and have it appear as desired. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.
