Re: [LegacyUG] Location Mapping
I just checked Ancestry.com mapping on the 1930 census. The map appears with the balloon; however, move it around a little and it disappears (the map, that is). Appears Legacy is not the only one with the problem. Kay - Original Message - From: "Brian L. Lightfoot" To: Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 3:42 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Location Mapping Wow! The plot thickens. Things have definitely changed at BING. Now I am able to CRASH or LOCK-UP Legacy at will. Would others please try the following to see if this happens to you. I would suggest opening a test file and not your real database or else make sure you have a current backup. 1. Using either the menu or the blue triangle for an information window, get to the Master Location List. 2. Click on the GEO-CODE box at the top and select "Geo-code all un-resolved locations through Virtual Earth" (message to programmers: please change Virtual Earth to its current incarnation of BING.) 3. An error window will appear. You may click YES, NO, or QUIT. 4. It doesn't matter what you click because you'll be stuck in an endless loop of getting another error, OUT OF STACK SPACE. You might get lucky and get back to the first error window but you are still stuck. There is no way to close Legacy without closing the error window, which refuses to do so. You will have to terminate the LEGACY.EXE process using Windows Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) or just reboot. Seems as if BING changed the calls or parameters that needed to be passed to its interface and Legacy is stuck sending data using the old method which causes the lock-up or crash. Its not Legacy's fault because it used to work but as someone else already stated, "Microsoft moved the goalposts."

I used Alta Vista because I never use Alta Vista. Click on the button, "Customize Searches..." and it opens another pop-up window where you can Select one of the Internet Searches (I still used Alta Vista as my choice). This opens up yet another pop-up window called "Select an Internet Search." "[none]" will already be highlighted. At this juncture, click the "Add..." button. *Another* pop-up window will appear where you can name your new search (I named it "Find A Grave") and then you can finally paste that long URL into the first box. The second box already has []=[%20] in it so all I had to do then was "Save" and it was done. "Alta Vista" was replaced with "Find A Grave" on that first window, and it works great.

[LegacyUG] Calculated Date Terminology Error - Still Exists
Using 7.0.0.97, 10 July 2009 In April I reported an anomaly regarding using the calendar feature to calculate a date. It shows properly as "cal 3 April 1849" in the Family View; however, it shows "ber 3 April 1849" in the print preview and printed copy. Brian confirmed the problem and submitted a problem report on the issue. His explanation was "You will only see the error if you change the report language. So long as you were using the default language you used to install Legacy the term is correct. Once you change language, however, the error in the .trn file changes Legacy's term for Calculated from Cal to Ber in all the future chart styles you create. This bug was obviously not fixed in the last build. It is necessary for me to frequently create Family Group Sheets in German and French. Once this is done I then get ber rather than cal when switching back to the English language. This is a major problem for me. Any idea when this bug will be fixed?

Re: [LegacyUG] Draft cards explanation please
Helen, Here is a description for the WW I Draft Registration from Ancestry.com: "In 1917 and 1918, the United States held three registrations for the WWI draft. In the end, more than 24 million men born between 1873 and 1900 - some 25 percent of the U.S. population - registered for the draft, although not all were drafted. Handwritten by each individual, draft registration cards include the individual's name, address, date and place of birth, occupation, signature and more." As it states, not all who registered were drafted. These records have been an invaluable source for me in providing previously unknown birth dates. One series of the cards also asked for place of birth. They give occupation, employer, and location of employer. They provide next of kin, and sometimes this has produced a previously unknown spouse. Their address is proof of where they were living at the time. And finally, the physical description. Since these records were handwritten by the individual registering I have been able to correct family records regarding birth dates and places. Hope this helps. Kay - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 1:32 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Draft cards explanation please I've downloaded draft cards from Ancestry because (1) they are an additional piece of information about an ancestor and (2) they add to the background/personality of someone who could otherwise be just BMD dates and have added them to the collection of images for that person but ignored them otherwise.

There is an error in the .trn files which control the chart type reports wording. I have submitted a problem report on the issue. You will only see the error if you change the report language. So long as you were using the default language you used to install Legacy the term is correct. Once you change language however the error in the .trn file changes Legacy's term for Calculated from Cal to Ber in all the future chart style reports you create.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheet Error - Calculated Date Terminology
John and Ron - When I first noticed the "ber" error I checked my language settings. The program option is set for English (US) and the report option is the same. I switched to each of the other two English settings but had the same results. If John has experienced this anomaly in any instance it would seem to me to be a bug of some kind.

However, try changing the language setting on the report screen to English (US). For me at least, this then causes "cal" to be displayed as "Ber." In other words, if the program option is set to one version of English, but the language option for a report is set for a different version, the "Ber" anomaly seems to appear. The same thing seems to happen with "abt" and "cir" for approximate dates. I guess this doesn't apply to Book Reports as I don't see anyplace to change the language settings for them. John S.

[LegacyUG] Question on Geo-Code
Using Legacy 7.0.0.90, Windows XP Per Sherry's advice (when I was having mapping issues) I used the geo-code all unresolved locations. This resolved the problem existing at that time. Now, in looking at my master location list I'm finding that perhaps 7 out of 10 locations are incorrect, even though all of the towns in my location list appear on the Google maps.. For instance, the balloon for Charlton, Massachusetts is NE of Marlborough -- a long ways from Charlton. Cedar Falls Iowa shows up on the town of Sinclair, Des Moines, Iowa shows up a long way from Des Moines, and on and on. I have been correcting this by right-clicking on the correct location and resetting to it. 1. Should I be arbitrarily resetting in this fashion? 2. Or should I be looking the location up on, say, USGS Earth Explorer, and manually changing the lat/long information? No. 1 will take a long time since there are hundreds of locations in my list. No. 2 would take a very long time. Is there something I should be doing in the process to eliminate all of the make-work?

Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: Problem with Mapping - Follow-up
Folks - My issue is not about which part of the balloon points where. I am very familiar with Microsoft VirtualEarth and use it regularly.. I am well aware of how to resolve the coordinates. The problem is that while using the Map my Family feature, many of the locations listed in the box on the left-hand side of the screen had the balloons placed hundreds of miles from the actual location. This occurred with some families and not with others. The fact that hundreds of locations were affected told me something was amiss. Jack Earnshaw's response (see below) caused me to take another look at some of the families - and he hit the nail on the head regarding unresolved locations. All it takes is one location with a ? and some of the other locations are adversely affected. For example I am now looking at a family with 16 locations in the left-hand box. The top location has a ? in the Lat column. When I highlight Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the box the active balloon is on Hot Springs, South Dakota. Mousing over the balloon brings up the Milwaukee location with residence date. The active balloon for Hot Springs, SD, is in New York. The active balloon for Brooklyn, Windham County, Connecticut is in the middle of South Dakota. Again mousing over it brings up Brooklyn and a 1847 marriage. I don't believe this is a Microsoft problem since the balloons are all placed properly at locations listed in the left-hand box. It would appear that Legacy is assigning the family events to the wrong places when Microsoft is unable to verify one or more of the locations. I now know how to rectify this situation. Thanks, Jack, for helping me resolve the issue. And, thanks to the others who have responded. Kay "I reported this as a bug some time ago but got back the "unable to reproduce the problem" answer. What I was finding was that choosing an individual and then clicking the Mapping button brought up the correct list of locations and then it tried to resolve on the map all those places that hadn't yet been resolved. This is where it went wrong. The places it picked all were within the list of locations on the left, BUT the coordinates and balloon were allocated to the wrong place. E.g. if there were 4 locations A, B, C and D and that B, C and D had not been "resolved" before i.e. placed on the map then it seemed to place location B at the point on the map for location C, similarly for location C it might go to the place on the map for location D. This didn't always happen, but very frequently. Now I try to ensure that the places have been resolved properly before I go to mapping. But I will always go down the list to make sure that the locations are shown at the correct place on the map. Going to the location list and getting places resolved that way seems to be OK, it is only when this occurs "on the fly" by using the Mapping button" - Original Message - From: "Mike Fry" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 4:05 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: Problem with Mapping - Follow-up Bert van Kootwijk wrote: One of the reasons can be that the programmers in their wisdom had decided that the center of the balloon indicates the correct spot.

As far as I know the staff and programmers donot think it is worth to change the indicated spot from the center of the balloon to the point of the pin. In my opinion this is a very major bug, but they think else. Er no, Bert! That's a Microsoft VirtualEarth bug! All the API allows the programmers to do is say they want a balloon at a specific point on the map. VitualEarth actually displays the balloon in what it thinks is the correct position on the map. The points are based on latitude and longitude co-ordinates in the Legacy Location list entries. I would suggest that Kay checks that her co-ordinates are correct before lambasting the program. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

The first thing is for you to be able to use it. If you start with an individual in, say Family View, and click the Mapping Icon then the program will automatically try to put the pins into the locations associated with this person. This can be quite inaccurate and it should be noted that it only reconises modern locations, The next thing to note is that one cannot move the pins and it is necessary to move the map, and then put your curser in the correct place and right click. But this cannot be done in the screen displayed when you click the mapping icon; you need to click "Resolve". This takes you to the same screen as View>Master Lists>Location and here you can move the map and set the location as described above. Using the zoom in and zoom out helps to manipulate the maps.

Rich, My French records are only for certain lines. They come from Catholic parish registers and civil registers, neither of which used double dating.

I don't need to set up an account, but the system appears not to be working on my machine. My first search had matches but the "view matches" box was grayed out. Other searches worked just fine. As of Today: Clicking the Search IGI link freezes the program and it is necessary to shut it down. All other searches and functions work properly. I've done all the maintenance. Any suggestions? Thanks to all that responded to my post yesterday..

[LegacyUG] Re: Help Please on Source Template Overrides
Jenny I should have put the issue aside when tired and frustrated. I had problems with the overrides one time and not the next, and was not able to efficiently analyze what was going wrong. Will have a go at it today with a clear mind. Thanks for your helpful feedback and hope you feel better soon. Kay Jenny Wrote: My brain's a bit fuzzy at the moment (combination of heavy cold and cold cures!) but I think I have worked through this correctly: Working in the Source Detail screen, if you enter the Details on the first tab, then click the Override tab there will be nothing entered in the boxes, but if you click on "click here to go to the overrides tab" the boxes will have the citations entered ready for you to edit. If you copy a Source which has overrides to the Source Clipboard, then paste it, it will paste with the overrides included and the checkbox ticked for using that override. If you make changes to the Source Detail and then want to incorporate these into an Override, you need to make your Detail changes, then click "the output has been overridden by the user. Click here ..." and then re-write your override sentence, not just change the bits you have changed on the details screen. I hope that makes sense! -- Jenny M Benson *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help Please on Source Template Overrides
I'm seeing another problem that may have compounded my confusion previously. I just copied the below-mentioned source to the clipboard, then applied it to another individual. The detail screen then popped up and I changed the information as appropriate for the new individual and saved it. The Output Preview still shows the details for the original Detail Screen - not the change made. Is anyone else having this problem? Doesn't seem feasible that I would need to do an override on the detail screen rather than just change data and save it. Or is this the way it works?

[LegacyUG] Help Please on Source Template Overrides
Using 7.0.0.76 I've spent another half day trying to figure out the override protocol. Never had a problem with Legacy 6. Can someone please give me a heads up on what I am doing wrong? I'm using Newspapers - online - by unrelated content provider. I create the master source and save. I need to insert volume # and issue # in addition to the page #. I need the information in this order (largest to smallest). I input (in page block) vol. 1, issue 10, p. 3 and save. The Output Preview shows: p. vol. 2, issue 10, p. 3. I hit the override button and prefill the Footnote/Endnote block. I delete the "p." before vol. 2, issue 10, p.3 and save. The Output Preview still shows p. vol. 2, issue 10, p.3. Yes, I can resolve the problem by entering the page number first and then volume and issue, but this is not the way it should be. I've not been successful in performing overrides for other sources either. I'm following what little information is contained in the Manual and Help File, unless I'm misinterpreting something..

[LegacyUG] Problem with Source Overrides
Using Version 7.0.0.76 I think I need a brain transplant. I just can't capture the sequence of the source overrides. Example: I used the books, author known, basic format. I fill out the master source template and then modify the contents using the override and save. It is easier to do this and modify rather than enter all from scratch. I don't continue to the detail at this point because there are multiple people listed in this book and each is done on an individual basis. When I use "cite a master source" and fill in the detail and save, the detail information does not show in the output preview or anywhere else. Can some kind soul explain the step-by-step instructions for overriding?

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template for Book Question
Kristin - I agree with your feedback below. I just thought I was missing something in the plethora of templates available. Believe the programmers should gin up a suitable template to accommodate the online images of books originally published in paper copy. Thanks - Kay - Original Message - From: "Kirsten Bowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 5:22 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Source Template for Book Question Kay and Elizabeth: This is really a semantics thing. The philosophy is that (1) Things on the Internet are considered published and (2) *Repositories* are not properly cited for published materials because they are usually widely available. That's why Legacy doesn't print a repository if you identify a book as published. On the other hand you *do* want to identify where you found the data and the format it was in. So the simple solution is to use the template Book > Authored > Author Known > Basic Format, and then to put in the Detail Comments section the medium, site name, and URL. This produces a properly formatted footnote/endnote citation, subsequent citation, and bibliography. Much citation protocol is really not dictated by Mills, but is simply established publishing procedure.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question
Jennifer - I shouldn't post messages when tired. In looking at my last message yesterday I realize my source was constructed somewhat differently than yours as listed below. We both used the same template; however, in the Credit Line I entered the source listed by Ancestry.com: citing Nevada State Heath Division and so on. Think it is important to know at a glance where their information was gathered so we can more adequately judge credibility. I want to use the marriage book information such as you added but need to put it somewhere -- perhaps after the entry for Joe Blow and Jane Doe -- but don't want to use the word "citing" again. Will play around with it some more.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer Question
Jennifer - Thanks for including the two examples below. My initial question involved citing the source of the source as indicated in your example of an index/database with no images. I found inconsistencies in "Evidence Explained" where the source of the source was cited in one such case and not in another, and so I requested confirmation to ensure I understood the methodology. One needs to know where Ancestry got the data -- from state records or who knows where. This is how one decides credibility.

[LegacyUG] Source Writer Question
Using Legacy 7 Deluxe 7.0.0.55 Build Tried the new Source Writer for the first time today and love it. I have a question about it relating to E. Shown-Mills, "Evidence Explained." I'm citing an Ancestry.com database entitled "Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005." Ancestry.com, in their Source Information, cites (1) their database Ancestry.com Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . .; (2) Nevada State Health Division, Office of Vital Records, Nevada Marriage Index, 1966-2005 . . . .; and (3) Clark County Nevada Marriage Bureau, Clark County Nevada Marriage Index, 1956-2005 . . . . Obviously Ancestry.com is the originator of this database. I like to know from whence their data comes. Should I use in the Detail section "Citing numbers 2 and 3 above." In "Evidence Explained" I'm seeing this used in some of the image examples but not in other databases. Thanks for any suggestions. Kay Fordham ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store.

[LegacyUG] Switch Gender
Using Legacy 6.0.0.117 Something has run amok in my database. I opened it a couple of days ago to print a couple of items and then exited. All was okay. Today my mother is listed as a male. When I go from me to my parents my mother is shown on the right-hand side as wife; however, her gender is now male. When I go from my mother to her parents she is shown in blue (male) on their children listing. Clicking on mother brings her up on the left side of the screen as a male with no spouses and no children. She has two marriages other than my father and this info is still in the database but not visible by clicking in the margin to rotate through marriages. The "last modified" screen shows no changes have been made to my mother's data since 2007! I have a report printed two days ago showing all was fine then. Ran a check and repair. Results were that my mother's gender is incorrect and I need to fix it. How? The Help files address only swapping husband and wife. I've not been able to access the Legacy Mailing List Archives all afternoon (page cannot be displayed message). How do I change the gender when the choices are grayed out on the individual information screen?

[LegacyUG] Old Issue with Unwanted Punctuation (Period)
I'm using Build 6.0.0.117 of December 2006 and do not plan to upgrade until Version 7 is issued. I (and others) have reported a problem with an inappropriate period (punctuation) now for several years. The last promise we had for a fix was in December 2006. I've reviewed the revision histories on the Legacy website and do not see this issue addressed. I would really like to see it fixed by Version 7. I have many occasions where only a year in parentheses is appropriate in either the master source publication facts (where the date is entered here because it is not part of the title) or the source detail. Below are some made-up and abbreviated examples. These periods stand out like a sore thumb in report citations. Are any of you still having the problems outlined below? Thanks, Kay Fordham Source Detail Example: Entry: Joe Blow death certificate #12345 (1939) Results: Joe Blow death certificate #12345.(1939) If you use [1939] you don't have the problem; however square brackets have a different connotation. If you add any text before or after the date in parentheses you don't have the problem. -- Master Source Example: Entry in Title: Joe Blow death certificate #12345 Entry in Publication Facts: 1939 Results: Joe Blow death certificate #12345.(1939) If you add any text before or after the date in parentheses you don't get the superfluous period.

Re: [LegacyUG] Children out of Wedlock
Richard: My U.S. birth certificate states that I am illegitimate. My parents were not married, and my mother was told she could not list my birth father even though he admitted paternity (South Dakota). That was some time ago. I have seen a great many birth certificates (California and Iowa) of more recent origin where parents were not married -- there is no mention of marital status. They simply show the birth mother and birth father and other pertinent information. No status is assigned to the child. Perhaps not all states in the U.S. have the same rules, however. The bottom line is that I am legitimate whether or not my parents' liaison was :).

Re: [LegacyUG] 93-page pension file - handle?
Janis, I'll be interested to see what responses you receive on this query. I have 3 Civil War pension files on 8-1/2 x 14 paper. The Revolutionary War pension file is on 11 X 17. I used the MRIN filing system in notebooks and currently have a piece of paper in the appropriate sections stating where the actual files are stored. At present they are lying flat in a file drawer in legal sized manilla folders. This is not good usage of file space but I don't know where else to put them. Thanks for broaching this subject.

How do others on the list handle the filing of a 93 page complete pension file? I am trying to put everything in notebooks, with sheet protectors. This is obviously not going to fit that format. Although none of the original sheets appear to have been legal size, the person at NARA who copied the file for me put it on legal paper. I don't use legal-size folders (petty prejudice on my part). Surely no one would use 45 page protectors? Thoughts welcomed, in spite of the fact that it is a lame question; I think the only answer must be "file it in a legal size folder."

Now I've worked out what happened, I'll share the details in case it helps someone else... I switched to using Mozilla Thunderbird for my emails a month or so back. One of the first settings I set up was to make all emails to Rootsweb and Legacy in plain text. So far, so good - that worked a charm. BUT, along the way, I got tired of the program asking me frequently if I wanted to send in plain text or HTML for addresses where I hadn't set their preference, so I went in and found the particular setting governing this behaviour - under Tools / Options / Composition / General, then click on the "Send Options" button, and in the first setting choose the behaviour for "When sending messages in HTML format and one or more recipients are not listed as being able to receive HTML" I chose "send the message in both plain text and HTML". Once I'd set that, things changed and I suddenly found that my next post went to the LUG in HTML. Oops! Sorry! This setting over-rode the one I'd made in the first instance, that stated "legacyusergroup.com" was only to be sent plain text (which happens to be on the same screen as the one I described above). What I've done to remedy this is to go into my Address Book and set for the LUG address that it is only to be sent plain text, and now I'm back to not having to remember to set plain text for my posts, and I'm not bugged by messages for recipients who aren't in my Address Book, or I haven't said which form they're to get. Should have done that in the first place, but didn't know what was to come. ;-) If you're using Outlook Express, there is a setting there, in the Address Book, if I remember correctly, where you can determine that all emails sent to that particular address will be in plain text. I used to use that before switching programs. Hope this helps someone. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wendyh65/ *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!

Okay, Gail, thank you for the clarification. Kay - Original Message - From: "Gail Rich Nestor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 3:51 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] December 6 Build Question Hi Kay, I think this enhancement was in response to one of my prior requests. Before the enhancement, the user had to choose for the whole source title line to italicized or else the whole line would not be italicized. There were a few cases that called for part of the source title to be in italics and part not to be in italics. For example, when I wanted to note a "rev. ed." or a specific volume number, I used the big "I" in the formatting tool box to italicize just the book title and not the other part. This formatting was not coming out in the gedcom file and therefore it was not showing up on my web site. It did work in the event notes, but just not in source titles. Because I did not want to wait for this fix (I didn't know it would come so soon), I just went into my files and added the and formatting codes as needed which then held up in the gedcom transport. This wasn't a big deal, but it's all part of helping sources to be formatted in a way to be consistent with current bibliographic and genealogy sourcing standards. I still hope there will be more enhancements to come with sourcing! Gail Rich Nestor Smyrna, Georgia www.roots2buds.net On 12/6/06, Kay Fordham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks, Ron.

RE: [LegacyUG] Questions on Installation and Copying Files
Thanks to Ron, Jack & Cathy who responded to my query. To answer some of your questions - 1. I did indeed rename my old drive - it is now F. I will do away with it in the near future. 2. I did indeed copy some files from F to C into a folder named Old C. 3. The files copied over were mainly pictures, scans, and documents. These have now been integrated into my New C. I also had backup copies on CD. 4. I am reinstalling program files onto my New C. 5. The only program copied was Legacy, and mainly for the data files. 6. I did try to run Legacy from the copied files and got the Runtime Error 339 message. 7. However, running Legacy from the Old F drive results in the same error. It worked fine the day before my hard drive acted up. 8. The Runtime Error 339 file mentioned is VSOCX6.OCX. The Legacy Technical Support web site has recommended solutions for this item. I have DSL and will go for download from the Legacy site. Hopefully, this will correct the problem. If not I will resort to the recommendations on the Legacy web site. Incidentally, the hard drive on my husband's computer failed about an hour after mine went wonky. My daughter's went south a couple of days later. Is it a family curse? We have all been working a week or so getting back in business. So folks -- back up everything you can before your hard drive fails -- as it eventually will.

[LegacyUG] Questions on Installation and Copying Files
Using Legacy 6.0.0.79 (20 January 2006) - Updating this week Background 1. Hard drive wouldn't boot - had corrupt file which could not be repaired. 2. Installed new hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP. 3. Made new hard drive Master and old drive Slave. 4. Copied files from old hard drive to new drive in folder called "Old C Drive" (including Legacy). Will integrate necessary stuff later. 5. Attempted to start Legacy but get Runtime Error 339 (DLL or OCX file changed, missing, etc.). Obviously a shared file is now missing. 6. Legacy web page instructions are to first uninstall Legacy and then reinstall. Questions 1. Believe I will not bother with the program existing in the old C drive folder. Would like to do a new install on my new C drive. I have the Legacy 6.0 CD. Should I install from it and then download updates from the website? OR should I download the whole program from the website? 2. I need to copy my data files over to the new drive as well. There are many files in this folder other than my family databases; i.e, with extensions of CB, FG, TC and so on. What are these and can I just leave them behind? What besides the family files do I need to relocate? 3. Anything else I need to be mindful of? I do have backups on my hard drive and on CD.

Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Shots
A couple of years ago I decided to develop a tool for uniform source entry. The first method tried was screen shots of the sources that were to be "the standard." The problem with them was that not all text showed on the screen (without scrolling to the right) in some of the boxes; i.e., the Source List Name and the Source Detail Information. Hence, the screen shots did not capture all of the text. I then resorted to templates developed in MS Word -- more work initially but they work well for me. There are examples of each type of source - US Census, State Census, Canadian Census, Vital Record, Vital Records from a Book, and so on. Question: Do you have a method for capturing all of the text without making more than one screen shot of a given source? Kay Fordham - Original Message - From: "Lance" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 11:28 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Shots There are a number of screen capture utilities available - free and shareware. Windows users though have a basic built-in screen capture utility all ready to use with a couple of keystrokes. To capture the full screen, just press the PRT SCR key (to the right of the F12 key in the top row). This will copy the full desktop view to the Windows clipboard. From there it can be pasted into any imaging software (MS Paint for example). MS Word or any other application which accept pasting. To capture the uppermost screen you have open, press the ALT key along with the PRT SCR key. Again, you can then paste it into an imaging application. In there it can be edited or have text added to explain what it is about.

[LegacyUG] Organizing your Research
Keith: I struggled for years trying various filing systems which did not work for me. I finally decided upon the system outlined by Geoff Rasmussen on the Legacy Site and am in the process of setting it up. With over 1000 MRINs in my database (and growing) the prenumbered sets on the market would be a costly option. I am using plain old cardstock and Avery index tabs with computer printable inserts. The tabs are labeled 16221 S-101 1" clear. There are 25 self-adhesive tabs to a package. I ordered 25 packages and the cost was $44.75 - this would make the unit price $1.79. I cut them and the inserts in half (there are now 1250 labels) and hand number them. You can also print them on the computer. I was only able to find this specific label on the Office Depot website, but there may be other sources in your area. My process is obviously more labor-intensive and the end-product not as professional looking as it would be with the prenumbered dividers, but it works for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] additional location data
I had ancestors in Iowa Township, Iowa County, as well as Iowa City next door in Johnson County. There are Iowa Townships in at least 9 other counties as well. Also, Iowans have a strange habit of using the township name as residence (without the township designation), and seeing it in print makes one believe it is the name of a town. For example, you may see newspaper reports of so and so from Ilyria or Dover. These are township names and the individuals named are rural residents. The marriage certificate of one of my ancestors listed his residence as Myron. Took me a while to discover that Myron was a township, not a town. The bottom line is that one should be specific in detailing their locations to preclude confusion.

Re: [LegacyUG] additional location data
Diane, I have numerous areas where a relative lived in a rural area in a township. I always state it as you did below; i.e., Fairfield Township, Fayette County, Iowa. By the way I was raised in Fayette County! Stating it in this fashion leaves no doubt as to what specifically is meant. I was taught (by an LDS mentor) to use ", Fayette County, Iowa" when the location within the county is unknown (the space-comma delineates a missing entry.) Also ", , New York" when only the state is known.

Ex Seattle, King County, Washington If you only know the county, do you use county, then state? Ex Allen County, Ohio Does one normally include the town, township, county, state, if all are known? I see many trees on Ancestry and it is quite confusing when one doesn't take the extra time to clarify, example Clinton, New York. Clinton is a county and also a city in a Oneida County in New York.

Re: [LegacyUG] Punctuation Problem in Source Detail

Kay Fordham wrote: Using Legacy 6.0 & 20 Jan 2006 Build When I and a number of other users reported this problem several years ago it was put on the "to be fixed list," but the anomaly is still in existence. I searched the list archives but did not find anything on the resolution of this issue. Whenever I enter information in parentheses at the end of a source detail statement Legacy inserts a period after the statement and before the parentheses. For example I enter : Samuel Alden, register number 251 (1889). What I get in the source preview screen and in print is: Samuel Alden, register number 251.(1889). I don't get the unwanted period if I use brackets rather than parentheses; however, brackets have an entirely different connotation in genealogy. I have many sources similar to the above where there are no page numbers. The data is set out by register numbers within a one-year period. I prefer to have the year set off by parentheses for clarity and emphasis. There are times when I wish to enter other data in parentheses at the end of the statement as well. Is there something I should be doing differently to eliminate the superfluous period (other than a redo of hundreds of source detail sentences)? Thanks!
