Re: [LegacyUG] CHILD OF UNMARRIED PERSON
Set them up just like the parents are married, but in the marriage section, you enter Never Married for the parents. From: Dick I have a ( male ) cousin who had a relationship that resulted in a son being born. As far as I know and / or have been told be his siblings, the couple never married, and the son was raised by the mother. The boy is now over 21. My problem is ... how to enter this person in the family records? I presently have him with his father ( along with the mother ) , and hsve notes that the father and mother never married, and that he was raised by the mother. All that is known of her is her surname JOHNSON ... the father ( cousin ) more or less has been unreachable for many years. Any ( workable ) ideas?

Re: [LegacyUG] Advice on event names
If I may interject my thought here. I find this rather interesting. When I think of England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand etc., I think of individually governed countries within a single nation unit. In example the British Isles. When I see the term Britain or British Isles, etc. I think of the nation unit that is over the individual countries. I know nation might not be the right word Britain, in my humble mind, seems to me to be the overall government and Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Australia are all ultimately ruled by the Crown. I did seem to consider that the Royal Crown was over all the British holdings, and each of them are individually governed within themselves. Almost like our state and federal relationship, except I see Britain as allowing a greater self-governing rule with some minor overseeing by the Crown; where as in the United States, there's this HUMONGOUS federal government where people like to dictate what the individual states can and cannot do. If I'm wrong (and I probably am), I love to know 'exactly' how this really is I have lots of ancestry and interest in I will accept private eMail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if this would be too far off topic. _ From Mike Fry Yes! That's because Americans think that Scotland Ireland are States within the UK. The TNA regards the censuses as separate entities, based on the legal system: England Wales being one entity, Scotland a second and Ireland (north south until partition) a third. _ Jan Roberts wrote: Thanks Mike, Although I should point out that the set of CDs produced by the LDS Church is quite clearly labelled 1881 British Census and includes England, Scotland, Wales, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Royal Navy.

Re: [LegacyUG] A Version 7 question and Map My Family Tree
Do you have a URL for this; where I can learn more about it? From Tim Rosenlof Map My Family Tree is a addon.(Separate Program By Progeny). It has no part of Legacy, except it uses your Legacy database. It does include Ireland. Now if you are talking about the current Legacy6, and the GeoDatabase, it does also include Ireland. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does this cover Ireland please ? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I really like it. MMFT shows migration paterns, shows where your ancesters birth, marriage, probate, residence, all your events. State, county. Plot those. Print the maps, pdf, save as image (jpg) etc. Gazetter you can add to or ignore. Geo codes all your names and places, time periods and more.Time scrolling and more. I hardly use the online items.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging....
It was done when I wrote thatI was amazed how many there were. However, Considering that I have over 9000 names all together, 550 isn't bad. _ From JLB Nope. That's pretty well how it goes. It will scan your entire database putting up comparisons that you have to make choices about. It's not a rocket-scientist, just a computer. If you know it's not a duplicate, you can mark it Not a Duplicate so it doesn't come up again the next time you run the Merge option. If you're not sure, tag the two individuals so you can look at them more closely later. That's about it. Just slog your way through. OR, if you're sure you only have 25 or 30 you will probably find them next to each other in the Name List. You could find one pair at a time there and do a manual merge on them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging....
These names are not in one single file. There are two separate files. _ From JLB I'm trying to imagine what you're doing and since I don't know, I really don't know. Except your language hints at something. What do you mean you took one database and merged the other database? You have to 'Import' one file into the other, or both files into a new family file before you even begin merging. There's no such thing as separate databases when you're merging. At that point you've just got one and you're looking for the duplicates within it. _ Joseph (Ragweed) wrote: I'm having funbut I'm really glad I saved the new database under a new name. GRIN I took database 'Smith' (653 names) Then I merged database 'Jones' (8832 names) I've been working on this one for about 35 years I'd gone through all the directives, clicks, and such in the merge. Then I'm looking at the new database 'blunderbuss' (8831 names) I see names from 'Jones' so I look for names from 'Smith' and they are not there. What's worse, I understand meging can (or will) remove one of the duplicate names, but I lost a name Possibly from a duplication I'd already had in the file.

Like I said, I still have the two old files so I can start over. One thing I've just now considered is that maybe I should have saved it in the 'smith' file where I started. What's you're opinion of this?? From JLB Oh, well, that's pretty easy. Basically, it goes like this: Import one file into the other. Under File - Import from. After that: Click the Merge button, and go to Find Duplicates, then follow all the prompts about backing up your files. On the Merge Options screen it's already got some default options set up. That's fine for now probably. Click Continue on that. On the Merging Two Individuals screen it will begin to bring up what it thinks are duplicates. If you're sure left and right side are the same person, you can click the items left or right side that you want to keep, go through all the tabs along the top doing the same thing and then click Merge Right into Left Individual. If you're not sure, DO NOT MERGE. What you can do instead at this point is click Options and tag both individuals. Later you can Search those people and see them (probably) side-by-side in the Name List. Over there it might become clearer to you if they're the same person or not, and then you can go back and do a Manual merge. Also, take note of black button(s) over on the left side of the screen. If you click on one you'll see you have other options. Sometimes you'd like to keep some of the information from one version of the individual although you're mostly choosing the other one. Anyway, carry on through your Merge screen like this, doing what you can or clicking Skip to Next. As you're going through, under Options, you can also click on Not Duplicates when you're sure about that, so the next time you run a Merge they won't show up. If you totally blow it you can restore your database to what it was before you started the merge. Under Edit/Undo merge on the main toolbar. You can also (under 'Merge') view the Not Duplicates list, delete everything and start over at any time. Merging is really fun once you get into it. It looks hard until you realize how easy and well-designed it is. I avoided it for a long time and when I finally got into I didn't want to leave. If you only have a handful of people to merge you can also do this through a split screen view dragging one side to the appropriate box on the other.

Re: [LegacyUG] District of Columbia
I think part of this question would be the time factor. At what time did this individual live, marry, or die there? Whatever nation was in control of that particular place, in this case the Virgin Islands, you use that. I would think it's like our states.

Re: [LegacyUG] District of Columbia
Good point, and well taken. You are quite correct. Georgetown and Arlington are indeed also in those time factor things. I've been there and the streets and traffic are insane Large circles with 6 or eight streets intersecting... If you don't get the right street the first time you could go around for hours. grin Anyway... good point. Joseph From: frankanedc Georgetown is interesting because it was a separate city before the District of Columbia was established, so if your entry is prior to 1800 it would be Georgetown, Montgomery Co., Maryland. Not now though. Now, it identifies a part of the city of Washington, like Harlem or Soho in New York, but it is not a politically defined area.The real estate market makes most use of names like Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, Capitol Hill, etc., but they're not good post office addresses.I would put Georgetown, etc. in notes if you want to keep it. Street addresses and zip codes go in address lists, but not in 'Location' on the individual's information page. Other places that give rise to similar problems are Arlington, Virginia, which is all urban county is not a city, and St. Louis or Los Angeles, which are counties as well as cities.

[LegacyUG] Name List Window
Back in my family there's areas where there's so many family names that sound the same, or are very similar using names which are spelled nearly the same. I'm running into areas where for each name I'm wanting to add, I have to search through my records for the name, and one file has about 9000 and another about 500.

Is there any way in which I can leave the name search window open, behind or to the side, while I'm entering information??? If not, I wonder how difficult it would be for the programmers to put that capability into the program?

Re: [LegacyUG] Name List Window
I've been hearing a lot about AccessExactly what is this and where can I read up on it and maybe get it? Also, I do have Open Office. which program do I use and what file do I open? If I sound like I'm not sure what I'm doing you're right. grin Joseph From Gary You could however open a *copy* of the database in Access or OpenOffice, which would not be affected by the new entries. One would need to remember that names added during the current session would not be on the list, but unless one adds duplicates that would not be difficult to track. The one added in that sessiion would be present if a new copy was made for each subsequent session. Gary Templeman -- Original message -- From: ronald ferguson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Joseph, I thought you may have meant something like that, hence my final comment. It should be borne in mind that surnames are not stored in alphabetical order but in the order they were added to the DB. Thus a new entry is added at the end. When one asks for an alphabetical list then this means sorting, and whilst I do not know how Legacy does this my guess is that a temporary table is created. Adding a new name to the list means that the temporary file is now invalid and a re-sort is necessary. Furthermore many other changes will have been made to linked tables. I do not know much about Access but I have, out of interest, run a test on a DB I have written using Open Office for parish registers, whereby I sorted a table and parked it on the task bar whilst I entered entered a fictitious person. When I went back to it, it had been closed by OOo (as I expected). My guess is that Access will do the same and hence I fear the answer is that it cannot be done.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web Page - Name indexes and Index Page
You'd asked, For further help to come ASAP, which report were you indexing. It wasn't under the reports menu. It was under the Tools/Create Web Pages...

There are some 'bugs' sneaking into 6.0.0.168, which may or not be related to this. That problem is found in the Search tool part, which may tie into your problem. (The archives includes all the discussion of the problem.) It has been identified and the next update will fix it (per support). I guess they should be back after the holidays, and if that is not the same task,will ask for more info. For further help to come ASAP, which report were you indexing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web Page - Name indexes and Index Page
I'm sorry for not being complete in my description. I'm doing it in the pedigree format. I did one in the Ancestor format and it was all put into one page. Not what I'm wanting with 8000 plus individuals. I want each individual on a single page, but with their (grand)parents, children and other notes and such. _ From ronald ferguson You do not say, but from the context I think you are talking about creating web pages and probably the Pedigree web pages - or is it? If so it is working perfectly. Perhaps if you detailed *exactly* what you are doing and the method ie. what boxes you are ticking then it would be easier to help. _ From Joseph Snurr I'm new here so I hope I do this correctly. I've been trying to get a workable page. I have discovered two problems. I did one a year or so ago which gave me an index page with links to the name index.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web Page - Name indexes and Index Page
Interestingly, it won't allow me to do the repair. If brings up the error where it says it must close and when I click, it does. From Dave Miller I had the same problem yesterday. I had been using Legacy for some hours and no matter what I tried it would not generate the surname index page. To be more accurate it was generated but with '0' names. Like Ron I think you mean web pages. In the end I did a file/file maintenance/check/repair and closed and re-opened Legacy. One or both of these fixed it Regards, Dave. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 06:25 To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Web Page - Name indexes and Index Page Joseph, You do not say, but from the context I think you are talking about creating web pages and probably the Pedigree web pages - or is it?
