 Hi gang!
 I'm running the current version of Legacy version 7.  I went looking for

 the Options button as described in the manual.  There is no option to start

 I have been contemplating converting my (old) sources from Basic to Source
 Writer format.  However, I'm thinking I just have the urge to do it due to
 my personality...  everything must match etc.

 I would appreciate it if any of you on this list could share with me any
 concrete advantages to converting perfectly good Basic format sources to
 Source Writer format.

 Thanks in advance,

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Street Addresses and Location Names from Location

2009-09-09 Thread Leon Chapman

Mike:

I believe you can accomplish the migration patterns for an individual using
Legacy as follows:

1.  Place a Resident event for the individual for each resident location,
e.g., at college, 1st job, 2nd job, etc -- I have about 15 resident events
for myself for each location that I have lived at - be sure to include the
city, county, state, country location in the resident event
2.  Then View the Chronology Tab and it will display the time history of a
person very nicely -- this provides a 1 or 2 page summary of a persons life
3.  You can also map an individual and it will map all of these resident
event locations during the persons life.

When I 1st started using Legacy, I didn't use event, but I now place Census
events, resident events, and others for each person so I can use the
Chronology reporting capability and the mapping capability.

Try this for yourself in your database, you might like it.

 Thanks for responding.  My main point was that there is no single place in
 Legacy that deals with migration patterns of ancestors.  I believe that this
 information is very important if someone wants to understand such issues.
 Therefore, having a complete history of locations and addresses of
 individuals throughout their lifetime (in one place) can be created through
 an broad Event, such as Residence History.  In one click on your mouse
 or in a print out of an individual's genealogy data, you can see
 at-a-glance the most important information summarize appropriately.  You
 can then compare such migration information to other family members, etc.
 Patterns will emerge that will enable you to write a great family story.

 It would be great if Legacy could develop a migration capability so that we
 all could see a migration pattern plotting chart.  It would be also
 interesting to overlay one individual's migration pattern on to other family
 members information.  Hence, one could view a complete family's migration
 history.  Any thoughts?

 Yes, Events/Facts appear in reports and they contain the Location Field
 where it says Place in the Event boxes. Which is why I use Location Fields
 and not the Address Fields in the Address Book.

  Does not Events/Facts appear in reports? If so, I have found creating an
 Event called Residence History is a great way to see the migration
 patterns of your ancestors over time. In this Event, I list all known
 addresses by year, including those locations/addresses at birth, marriage,
 and death as well as those in Census Records, Naturalization Records, etc.
 Its all in one place in an easy understandable format. This does not mean I
 don't record addresses/locations in specific records. I do. However, I don't
 know of any way that Legacy can display all of an ancestors
 locations/addresses over his/her lifetime in one place.

  Bill,
 
  I regret to say that you are likely to get many conflicting answers to
 this one!
 
  Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only
 for living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in
 which I include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country
 (I'm from England).
 
  Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I
 also find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in

Re: [LegacyUG] Default location for photos

2009-08-29 Thread Leon Chapman

I agree you store you files and pictures  anywhere on your hard drive  
or thumb drive. Conceptually you could store each picture in a  
different location and as long as you assign or point to the picture  
location, Legacy will be happy.


The issue is what happens when you move to another computer - you will  
need to replicate and/or point to the location of each picture file.  
The other issue is backing up your files - you will have to back up/ 
copy each file from each location.


If you only have a few pictures, then everything is easy. In my case,  
I have several thousands of pictures - I want to keep it simple.  Try  
moving your files to another location, e.g., c/legacy6/ to d:/legacy7/  
and move your pictures to drive D. This is where simplicity pays off -  
same for backups.


Bottom line, if you like complexity, go for it.   In my experiences,  
the KISS principle works much better.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default location for photos

2009-08-28 Thread Leon Chapman

Ron:

You are correct and that is one way she can do it - by recreating the same
folder / sub folder / file structure on both machines.  A copy from machine
A to machine B will do that.  A new install of Legacy on the new machine
will be required.  Any user settings will be back to the initial set that
Legacy has defined, so one may want to copy all of the *.usr files from A to
B machine after Legacy has benn installed. The family database must also be
copied from machine A to B.  Normally, this file should also reside at the
same location on both machines - Legacy by default likes to use:
c:\Legacy\Data\ as the default location for the database.

Since Joyce has chosen to create a new structure/location for her photos,
she may very well have her family database in a unique location also
Wherever it is located, she will probably want to copy that file to the same
location on both machines.

The 2nd option that I proposed was to simplify the picture file structure by
coping all the photo files into a single sub-directory.  Legacy by default
uses:  C:\Legacy\Pictures\  as the picture sub-directory.

The standard Legacy default locations has advantages when it comes to
backing up your files and databases - it is much simpler, just copy the
entire Legacy subfolder and you get all your necessary files.  Some people
have their database and pictures located under c:\My Documents\so they
can backup the folder c:\My Documents\   and get all of the major files.

Bottom line, you can place your database, photos, etc wherever you want.
The easiest way is to replicate everything from Machine A to Machine B, but
then you have the backup problems mentioned above.

 If I was Joyce I would just copy the lot, as they stand, across to the C

 If Joyce does as you suggest then she will have to tell Legacy where they

Re: [LegacyUG] Default location for photos

2009-08-28 Thread Leon Chapman

Ron:
Given the way Joyce described her photo file structure, I assume with her
400 or so pictures that she would have maybe 10 pictures per family and thus
a total of about 40 directories that she must replicate on the new machine.
The same is true for backups - 40 subdirectories.  My 2nd approach, which
Legacy uses, means you can backup and move from one machine to another by
just coping one directory:  c:\Legacy\.

Bottom line, if you like to copy lots of individual directories, go for it.
I prefer the Simple approach.

Anything enclosed in:   [[  ]]   brackets will not print unless you specify
that private information is to be printed.  The square brackets work in any
field and in notes for  sentence(s) or  word(s).  You have control to either
print private information or not in your reports.  If you chose to print

Your issue is still a problem -- the private information is a global switch,

Yes, I'd wondered if I could plug in a thumb drive etc. at a  
Library, so MojoPac probably wouldn't help me for that, but it  
would for a family member's computer.


I have PAF5 that I haven't used in several years, but might give  
that a try.


Thanks so much for the help

Re: [LegacyUG] running Legacy on an external hard drive

2009-07-23 Thread Leon Chapman

John:

Thanks for the update.  FamViewer seems to be the best one for the iPhone at
this time.
It also appears you cannot edit or add any Notes to anything - Is that true?
No picture support either?

  Hi, Leon,

 I am running FamViewer on my 32GB iPhone 3Gs, and am in communication with
 the developer.  It is an adequate program at present, and provides a
 satisfactory way of viewing my Legacy data.  Response to suggestions from
 the developer has been very good, and I expect this program will continue to
 expand capabilities.  I have asked the developer to provide a means of
 supporting alternate sets of parents (I'm adopted, and trace both my
 biological, and adoptive lines) in the same manner as Legacy, and to support
 the display of images.  The first request should be included shortly, and
 the second is on the list of things planned for the future.  I also run
 GEDStar Pro on a Sony Clié NX60, and although I prefer that program, the
 Palm O/S is a dead system, and GEDStar Pro will not be ported to other
 devices.

 Please feel free to write to me privately about FamViewer.

Re: [LegacyUG] New family search.org

2009-03-09 Thread Leon Chapman

Ed:

After looking at the site, new.familysearch.org, you cannot use their site
unless you are a member of the church and have a membership record number.

So, I would guess, for the majority of Legacy users, the integration / tie
to the NewFamilySearch.org is of no interest - we cannot access it if it is
available within Legacy.

You can access the Pilot.familysearch.org site and create a search string
within Legacy that will provide lookups for you.

Good luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to identify the commonly used first name?

2009-02-09 Thread Leon Chapman

The alternate name appears in my Index of Names in the Modifed Descendant
report.
It has a prefex of ~ so that you know it is an alternate name.
I am using Legacy 7.0.0.86 - the latest build.

You do have to choose to include alternate names in the Index option in the
Descendant Report window.

Chap

On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 10:18 PM, Ruth Nerud baber...@worldnet.att.netwrote:

 The Alternate Names are included in the report. What's missing is the
 coding which makes it appear in the Index. The sentence that reads Another
 Name for XX is XX is the last line of text for a person so it kind of gets
 lost if the reader doesn't read every word, but if they are looking for a
 specific nickname or Alternate Name in the Index, it won't be there. I have
 gone through the 3,000 page Descendant's Book Report in Word and added code
 for all Alternate Names so they'd appear in the index, but that took a lot
 of time. It would be much easier if it were part of the Legacy program
 itself.

 I think you also have to check the Alternate given and surnames box in

 (If alternate names aren't included in the report, they obviously won't be

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses

2009-02-08 Thread Leon Chapman

Here is how I use the four fields to keep my city, county, state, country

1. Always use the 4 fields inserting commas if you are missing data.
2. Handle Cemeteries, Churches, etc by using a -

Here is an example:
Cemetery: Porter Cemetery

You can do the same with Churches.

Doing it this way, you always have the Churchs and Cemeteries sorted by

I could have left the cemetery names and places as they were transferred
(cemetery name, city, county, state, country) but I can see how that causes
problems with locations lists and searches (and probably reports) that are
based on a consistent pattern of place names (as I think the videos and
other references I have on genealogy software explain).

Maybe someone in the User Group has some great ideas for both of us.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date Range for an Event and General Event Questions

2009-01-04 Thread Leon Chapman

Alan:

You basically can do whatever you want depending on the information you have
available.
Many times you only have a Census date to define the Resident event in which
you would only use one date. If you have the beginning and ending dates of
a resident event, then you should probably use them or at least put them in
the notes for the event.

Here is an example that I use for myself:

Event: Residence
Description: 1234 Main Street
Date:1 Oct 2004-1 Jul 2005
Place: Somewhere, Good Co, WY, USA

I also do the same for Occupation events.

If you have the beginning and ending dates, I would certainly document them
either in the Date field of the event or the Event Notes field.

Hope this helps.

1. What do others do in Legacy for events over a date range? I am not
referring to an event when you don't know exactly when it happened but you
know it happened between x and y.

I am thinking of examples of like Residence: July 1, 1950 - September 4,
1959 etc.

I don't like just entering a starting or ending date of a residence.
Especially if the previous or subsequence residence may not start right
before or after the other one. i.e The next residence known could start at
January 4, 1960. So there are several months in between where residence is
not known.

Other examples of this might be Education, Employment, Military Service,
etc...

2. On a related note does anyone know where I could find a good
description of the intent of some of the events that come by default in
Legacy or what other suggested events people sometimes add? Any good web
sites?

Re: [LegacyUG] push pins not showing

2008-12-02 Thread Leon Chapman

I just installed the latest update to Legacy, v 7.0.0.76 on 10
classroom machines all using Vista.

The push pins did not work on 1 of the 10 machines.
I was able to get push pins to work from within the map, by going to
Options, Push Pins, (3rd choice) Large Blue pins with Red active.

The other Push Pins did not work - just a map only for the locations.

I do not understand the cause of the problem, but there is an issue here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with sources on Chronology Report

2008-12-01 Thread Leon Chapman

, Jennifer Trahan wrote:

Version: 7.0.0.76

I'm not sure if this problem existed before 7.0.0.76. I personally don't
remember ever having a problem with it, but my experience with chronology
reports thus far has been somewhat limited anyhow. I've only recently
started using them. I just created a Chronology Report for an individual,
and there are source citations listed at the bottom that are not attached to
any of her events. For example, at the end of the report, I have this:

15. Steve Zulpo, Rosati Family Tree (http://rosati-mo.com/tree/: accessed
9 Nov 2008), entry for Peter De Luca Jr.

However, up in the report, #15 is not a superscript on any event. The only
events this master source and that particular source detail mentioned above
are attached to is Peter De Luca Jr.'s birth, death, burial, and
mother/father relationship. The chronology report I have run is for Peter's
mother, Clementina.

The same master source with different source detail is attached to
Clementina's name, birth, and death on her assigned sources screen. That
footnote shows up correctly as:

6. Steve Zulpo, Rosati Family Tree (http://rosati-mo.com/tree/: accessed
10 Nov 2008), entry for Clementina Matilda Trillo.

This is attached correctly to her name, birth, and death on the chronology
report.

The only thing I can think of is that one of the events on this chronology
report is Peter Jr.'s birth. However, I don't remember there ever being
sources on the chronology report for the births of children. Another reason
I don't think it has anything to do with his birth event being on the
chronology report is b/c Clementina's daughter Aileen's birth is also an
event on this chronology report. The master source and detail attached to
her birth on her assigned sources screen are the same as Peter Jr.'s except
the last part reads entry for Aileen De Luca. This particular footnote
with her detail does not show up on Clementina's chronology report. And
also, there are other sources on Peter Jr.'s assigned sources screen for his
birth, such as his son's marriage certificate, that do not show up on the
chronology report.

By the way, the same exact source for Peter Jr. shows up on Clementina's
husband's chronology report even though there is also no event attached to
it by means of a superscript on the report.

I made sure that I unchecked Child-Par Relationship on the include tab of
the Options menu, just in case this has something to do with it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing a Bibliography Report and Footnotes Report

You need to select Reports  All Reports and select a report
Ancestors, Descendants, Descendant Narrative for example - assume

Then select Report Options button at bottom of Options for Descendant Books
and then select the Sources Tab.

There you have options to print a Bibliograhpy, Footnotes, etc.

Re: [LegacyUG] So NO ONE has the Legacy Family pdf?

2008-10-17 Thread Leon Chapman

Michele:

I have the PDF book by Mark Lang.
It has lots of good information on Legacy and I would highly recommend it.

It also includes a chapter on each of the following: TreeDraw for Legacy,
Genelines for Legacy, GENViewer, GENMatcher, Pocket Genealogits, GedStar Pro
for Legacy, Heritage Collector Suite, Passage Express, Personal Historian.

The best part is all is the pictures of each application screen as he
explains the various operations, e.g., adding data, Charting, etc.
As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words.

There are 13 chapters, 7 Appendices in the 495 page book.
It is the most complete reference to all of the Legacy software in one book.

Try it, you will like it.

Re: [LegacyUG] combining two files

2008-09-18 Thread Leon Chapman

Yes, all your sources will be imported.
If you have duplicate people in both databases, Legacy will try to
automatically merge those people and the ones is cannot merge it will let
you determine whether to merge them.  This is why you need to backup your
original file before you start this merge process.  I would not recommend
using a master source when importing -- that will add a source to everyone
in your imported file.  Do that in Legacy ahead of time before you import if
you want a master source say added to each name field.

  Michele,

 Basically, you need to use FileExportLegacy and then Import into your
 file. Set to import to your file with s starting RIN greater than the last
 in your file. I guess your husband is in both files so you will need to
 merge him into the husband in your current file and ant other duplicates.

In Family Tree Maker 'descendant report,' both spouses were 'dotted-line'
to
the other spouse and separate branches were show for each
relationship/marriage.
Legacy 7, probably has a similar, or better, report ... I just can find how
to do such. Call it a 'bad reading day.'

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search Problems

2008-09-13 Thread Leon Chapman

Steve:

You can also use the following:

Primary Condition:
  Individual, Death Date, Contains, 1983

This will find any occurance of 1983 in the death field.

I have some death fields that I have imported from FTM file that have the
following kind of dates:
WFT Est 1922-1983

This Contains qualifier finds all of these kind of dates also.

 I put 1985 in the 'Died' box but I got No records were found that matched

 I tried other years that I knew people had died in like my grand parents
 other names came up but not my grandparents.
 It just seemed to miss certain people but show others

Steve:

What is the criteria that you used and how did you do your search?

You will have to use two conditions as follows in the Query by Example Tab:

Primary Condition:
  Individual, Death Date, After, 31 Dec 1982

Second Condition:
  And
  Individual, Death Date, Before, 31 Dec 1983

This finds all people who died in 1983.

Hope this helps.

Ron:

My marriage events prints in Descendant reports, Family group sheets  others.
I tipically use a marriage event called:
Family Picture

in which I have text about a marriage picture or family group picture.

It all prints just fine.

I think there is an issue with certain named events not printing, but
making new events like family picture, marriage picture, should work
fine.  You do have to have the Events  Event Pictures option checked

Re: [LegacyUG] about to install 7

Yes!
Always make a backup of all your Legacy files  pictures before you
upgrade to a new version.
You may want to create a GEDCOM, but it is not necessary.

 Should I make  backups of all my files or gedcoms ?

 Do I do these on the computer or send them to a disk and if so how ?

 I am afraid I am feeling very apprehensive about the whole deal ?

 Any help and support would be appreciated and thank you.

 I think I should go for a walk first while I await some help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Chronology Report

2008-07-14 Thread Leon Chapman

Try the Options button in Chronology.
The report is pretty much fixed, but you can change some column widths
and what gets printed.

If that doesn't work, you will need to use a different report.

 You are very right in recommending keeping back-ups, and that a Legcy7 DB

 Having installed Legacy7 into C:\Legacy7\ I would copy my .fdb file into 
 C:\Legacy\Data\  and load that into Legacy7, thus the original Legcy6 .fdb

 Just download version 7 and install it in a different Directory than Legacy 
 6.

 They both want to install in:
 C:\Legacy\.
 That is probably where you have your version 6 installed.

 For version 7, I installed it in:
 C:\Legacy7\

 You probably will need to copy your data files over to the
 C:\Legacy7\Data\ directory, so your data files are kept separately.

 Once Legacy 7 reads  converts Legacy 7 database, you cannot reuse it
 in Legacy 6.
 So, be sure to keep a backup of your Legacy 6 database.

Re: [LegacyUG] County formation event

2008-07-06 Thread Leon Chapman

Jane:

Your best bet is to use events for county formations as attached to an
individual.
You can declare these county events to be private in the event data
entry screen.

Then, when you normally print reports, the private events will not be printed.
But, if you want to print the private events, you can select in report
options, under the Privacy tab, to print private events -- this is the
report I think you want to print occasionally.

I use the following so I can map 2 locations:

 Now let's say for a persons birth I enter as the location Brenham,
 Washington County, Texas, USA

 I also use this location for the burial. However I add a burial address of
 Priarie Lea Cemetery in the burial address.



 The problem is that I can only map both instances at one location i.e. the
 town centre of Brenham. But I would have liked to have a push pin in place
 for the cemetery too. How do I manage to do that without creating other
 location with a different structure than my 4 place holders?

 I had considered that option. I know you can install XP inside of Vista
 using MS Virtual PC. What I don't know is whether you can install another
 instance of XP inside of XP. Pat apparently has an existing XP computer.
 Having two instances of XP would be simpler than dual booting, but it will
 probably require increasing the amount of RAM, as both OS's would be using
 RAM at the same time. Dual booting is harder to switch back and forth but
 avoids the RAM issue.

 A VM is probably the best solution for those who buy a new computer with
 Vista but have some products that require XP or earlier, or IE6 or earlier.

 Pat  Gary:

 You might want to consider this solution as an option.

 Use MS Virtual PC, v.6.0.6001, SP1 is the latest version -- It is a
 free download.
 You can install it and run a Virtual Machine.
 I have Vista and am using it to run Windows XP in a virtual machine
 window.
 You will need to have a copy of an operating system to install in the
 Virtual Machine (VM).

 I have installed Legacy 7 in the VM under Windows XP and have
 installed IE 7 in the VM.  Then Legacy 7 and IE 7 run perfectly and I
 can do the mapping in the VM.
 The files can be copied from your hard drive to the VM very easily.

 One advantage is you do not have to reboot your machine to run the VM.
 It just opens a window and starts up or you can save the exiting
 state of the VM and return to it later.

 You can also use VMWare software for a VM, but tipically it will cost
 for the software and moving in and out of the VM windows back to VISTA
 is not as user friendly as MS Virtual PC software.

 The use of VMs has become more popular since the Macs now run on an
 Intel processor and people want to run an application under Windows
 that is not available to them otherwise, e.g., Legacy.

 We have gone to this approach in our computer lab for teaching both
 Vista and XP.  We use the VM under Vista to run XP to teach classes as
 needed on Windows XP.

 The bottom line, you get to keep your favorite IE6 or whatever on your
 machine as your workhorse, but you can use IE7 only in the VM -- this
 way you have the best of both.

You can then apply a filter (bottom left of window) for a Locality.

I believe you can fix your 1st problem by:
1.  Go to Options, View Tab  click on Edit Default Marriage Wording
(upper right in window).
There you can change the Wording from Husb to Husband like in Legacy 6.

I cannot reproduce your 2nd problem.  It may have something to do with
your scrren / window size.

 Just to set the feeding frenzy going, here are some minor things that

 1) Default Marriage Wording
 I expected this to say Husband  Wife (as in 6.0.0.*) and as indicated
 in the Help information. It doesn't! It says Husb  Wife. Easy to fix
 either globally or for an individual marriage, but the defaults should
 be what would be expected.

 2) Corruption Of Text
 This is a visual problem and can be got around simply by refreshing the
 view. I don't know whether it affects anything else, but it certainly
 affects the Marriage Information screen. It can be reproduced as follows

 a) From the Family View click on the Marriage button
 b) On the Marriage Information screen, click on the Help button
 c) Make sure the Legacy7 Help System window overlays some of the details of
 the couple at the top of the Marriage Information screen.
 d) Now close the Help window.
 e) The partially covered information about the couple (names  ages) is
 corrupted.

When you open the Master Location window, there are check marks on the

People and 2) Show Map.  I would guess that you have not checked the

Re: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-04 Thread Leon Chapman

Mark:

I would recommend installing in a new Directory (e.g., c:\Legacy7\)

Back up your existing Legacy 6 database and picture files.
Then copy your database and picture files into the correct locations under:
c:\Legacy7\Data and
C:\Legacy7\Pictures\

This way you can run either Legacy 6 or Legacy 7.

I have not found any need to go back to Legacy 6, but once your
database is upgraded to Legacy 7 format, it will hard to go back to
Legacy 6.

You will like Legacy 7!
The mapping feature is really neat.

Re: [LegacyUG] Huge Master Source List (was Source titling question)

2008-06-03 Thread Leon Chapman

Mary:

You can still use the original sourcing just like you are doing in
Legacy 6 if you like.
In Legacy 7 you can choose as an option to use the new Source writer or not.

I do not believe I will be using the Source writer until the user can
edit some of the templates.
For now, the templates are fixed.  I think it is on the to-do list to
allow the user to create their own templates and edit existing ones.
Once that happens, then I think everyone will be using the source
writer.

 Different versions of Legacy seem to play nice with each other.
 I've got Legacy 5, Legacy 6, and Legacy 7 all installed on the same PC.
  Of course, be SURE you specify a DIFFERENT INSTALL directory!

 I like having both old and new version installed - it allows me to keep
 working with the older version while I play with the new version to get
 used to it and make sure I don't hit any hiccups.  It also allows me to
 compare screens and option settings and report settings between the two
 versions.

 One problem - version 7's database is a different format.  Once you've
 converted your database, version 6 won't be able to read it.  In the past
 they've offered an after the fact patch for the old version so it can read
 the new version (but of course doesn't offer the extra features).  But its
 too early to know if they will do this for version 6/7 yet (I'm guessing
 they will).  Best bet - make a COPY of your database and use one copy for
 version 6 and a different database copy for version 7 while you are
 playing/experimenting with it.

 NOTE - I have not tried de-installing an older version after a new one is
 installed.  I would think it would work fine (assuming, again, that it is
 installed into a different directory), but I haven't tested it.

Either one works.

In Legacy, under Options, Custimize, Data Format Tab, at lower left of

1) assure a space is added after each comma (that is what I use),
2) remove spaces after commas,
3) leave spacing as entered.

It is faster data entry for me to chose option one above.

It is true that you can click an edit button and bring up the
individual's edit screen when you are in the master lists - Location,

 individuals generated from this screen.
 You can edit individuals when accessed by using the Name List (an icon in
 an upper tool bar). Might be what Don was referring to.
 Can anyone using Ver 7 confirm this editing directly from the Master lists?
 If it is included it sounds most useful.

 My favorite, not having seen the software, only the list, is the better
 navigation.  It is now possible to edit people directly from the Master
 Lists, rather than having to write down their RIN's and cycle back around
 to reach the Information boxes.  I've been waiting for this for a long
 time.  I could live with just that added to Version 6.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 and Apple Computers?

2008-05-28 Thread Leon Chapman

It will not run on an Apple computer directly, however:

You do have the option on Apple to run a virtual machine of say
Windows XP or Vista on the apple machines.  There are about three
different emulators or dual boot packages that will do that.  Once you
are running the virtual machine (Windows XP), you could install Legacy
and run it as if you were on a Windows machine.

So, you can run Legacy in a Virtual Machine.

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Legacy - mapping outside USA?

2008-05-25 Thread Leon Chapman

I have found the mapping feature to work great outside of the US locations.
If the location is wrong, you can correct it by using your own
coordinates or by moving the push-pin location to the correct location
if it is nearby.

You will like it.

 I ask because I've been disappointed before with mapping features of

 locations at the next recognisable higher level location which is not
 helpful.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy V6. File ID #s and Events – Am I doing this right? (semi-long)

2008-05-15 Thread Leon Chapman

Joi:

As I understand the File ID in sourcing and other locations, it
provides a method so you can correlate with your actual source paper
files that you have created in a filing cabinet.  As an example, you
might have folders in your filing cabinet labeled by Family, e.g.,
Jones, Smith.  In fact you might have 3 folders of Jones information -
Jones.b.1870, Jones.b.1890, Jones.Tom.b1910.

In the Jones case, one could use the File ID in Legacy to correspond
with your folders by using File IDs of:  Jones.1870, Jones.1890,
Jones.Tom.1910.

The filing numbers / system you want to use is up to you.  I think if
you search the archives, you will find some very useful formats that
people are using for their actual hard copy documents / folders.

Another option is to not use the File ID at all.

Good luck.

 of death, parent's names, etc— I have one Event in Legacy -- the death, 
 right?  (Still a bit confused as to what should and should not be listed as 
 an event)

 But, that aside, for all the other pieces of information gleaned from this 
 single document– the death certificate is cited in the various places – COD, 
 DOD, Cemetery, etc.—so far so good?

 Now, what do I do in the File ID box? Is that something to turn on 
 somewhere with a tick box so an ID is automatically generated? Is that the 
 MRIN? The RIN?

 If I were to create the File ID using the MRIN (or RIN), should I tack on an 
 additional number or letter to identify the specific document attached to 
 that family or individual? So, the Death Certificate might be MRIN 00012-2, 
 representing couple 12 with only 2 documents in their file. Does this work?

 What kind of problems could this create in the future for reports, retrieving

Re: [LegacyUG] Kudos to Geoff!

It is my understanding they are writing a converter to transform old
sources into the new sources format.  It probably will not be perfect,
so there will be some input required by the user.  You can always
leave your old sources as is and not do anything with them is another
option.  I think it will be worth converting all of our old sourcing
to the new format.

Let's hope the converter will be perfect and convert all of our old source.

 that announcement is important--or at least the last four words of this
 snippet from the sentence:

 Mrs. Mills' 2007 publication, the distillation of years of her own and her
 colleagues' research experience 

 EE would not have been possible without the contributions of *many* from
 this list--many who shared their resources, many others who pushed me
 outside my comfort zone to learn new materials I did not daily use, and
 others who helped with more technical aspects. In addition to all those
 mentioned in the acknowledgments, I should add one more--Geoff Rasmussen of
 Legacy--who, post-publication, combed the volume with a fresh and
 wonderfully critical eye, finding passages to polish before the new printing
 went to press last month. No work is ever perfect, but thanks to Geoff's
 meticulous effort, the new printing should be--in the words of the late,
 great genealogist, Ge Lee Corley Hendrix, CG, FASG--more better :).

  I don't normally use the HTML outputs because most of the information on

  However, I tried creating a Descendants HTML file tonight and there were
  NO pictures (and the Picture option is on). Creating files for

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with a location entry

2007-12-11 Thread Leon Chapman

Legacy doesn't really care how you enter your data.
The normal approach (in USA) is to make sure you have 4 fields:
1. City
2. County
3. State
4. Country

If you followed this rule, your location would be:
, of Perry Co, MS, USA

The only issue you now have is when you search or look at your
location list, all of the of county will sort under the Os.  So
finding Perry County could be an issue.

You may be better off documenting the Of Perry County in the Notes
field, then all of your locations will be easier to work with.

Re: [LegacyUG] Short place names

2007-11-23 Thread Leon Chapman

Michele:

My long location would look like this:

 Purvis, Lamar Co, Mississippi, USA

My short location would be:

 Purvis,,MS, USA


The location without a town, I would use:

, Lamar Co, Mississippi, USA

The short location would be:

, Lamar Co, MS, USA


Remember that you would only use the short location in places where
you have limited room -- like Charts.

 I am still sitting here cleaning my files up :)  On the locations is it ok
 to do this...

 Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, USA

 and then for a short location
 Purvis, Lamar Co, MS

 So that is the way it will print on the reports?


 And how about this example which doesn't have a town...

 , Lamar, Mississippi, USA

 short location
 Lamar, Co, MS (without the leading comma)

 This would really clean up the output on the reports and I would still have
 my locations entered in the correct format.

Re: [LegacyUG] Surname formatting part II

2007-11-23 Thread Leon Chapman

Barbara:

The way that I do most of my Nicknames is as follows:

First  middle name:   Leroy Ervin
Last name:  Chapman
Nickname:   Roy

My data entry is:
First  middle name:   Leroy Roy Ervin
Last Name:  Chapman

There is an option in reports under the format tab in descendant
reports to Use quoted names for narratives.  Legacy will then use the
full name once and then use the quoted name there after in your report

Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] I am very frustrated

2007-11-21 Thread Leon Chapman

Michele:

You are on the right track.
I always take a Preview of reports to make sure the wording is like I
want it when I add sources and events.  The screens also show you how
the events / sources will be printed.  A little tweaking can normally
get the right results.

If you have imported from another program, then you will have to do
some clean up work.

Legacy offers so many options that other programs do not have
available to the user, so much of the inputs in other programs creates
problems that you didn't know you had -- like in the Location fields.

According to the peak looks that has been reported on the new Legacy,
there should be more standard templates that one can use.  You may
want to wait till the new version comes along.

Good luck

 event fields (and I am thinking that I am going to have to do this on each
 individual and that any changes I make will not carry over person to

 I know that the new version of Legacy will have a source wizard of sorts
 that will format the sources to comform to the standards outlined by
 Elizabeth Shown Mills but I wonder if there should be a data wizard that
 will make sure that all of the data is in a standarized format.

 Having a feature in the program where you can input your data into a book
 format is not helpful if there are so many errors in how it comes out.
 There is no way someone could just hit the button and POOF!  a formatted
 book comes out.  You would have to import the entire book into Word and
 clean it up which would take countless hours (might be easier to just type
 it in from scratch using a printout from Legacy as your notes).

 I do want to say that I really do like Legacy.  It has a lot of great
 features that the other programs don't have but this is a shortcoming and I
 am hoping this is an area where there will be some improvement.

 Since the original data came from PAF one would think it should go back into

 There is also a second group of errors that reads as follows

 I DO want to include the notes when I send the gedcom. He happens to be

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Detail Citations on Import

2007-10-31 Thread Leon Chapman

Greg:

I have found it easier and you have better control to assign one
master source to a completely new Legacy file that was created from
just your Pedigree resouce file.
Then, merge this file with your master working database and do not
assign a source when you merge.  The steps are summarized below, but
assumes you know how to do some of the basic things along the way.

The basic process is outlined below:

1.  Create a NEW Legacy file (say - PedFile) by importing from the
GEDCOM or pedigree resource file that you have.
2.  Make sure you edit all locations and sources within that file to
your likiing.
3.  Chose any person and use the surname field and add a new master
source with all the details that refers to your pedigree resource
file.
4.  Click on Souces for this individual and Copy this master source to
your clipboard
5.  Tag everyone in your PedFile with Tag 1
6.  Then go to Tools, Advanced Sourcing
  A.  Choose all the option / locations for you master source to be
assigned on Where to Assign the Citations Tab.
  B. Also chose your master source from the source clipboard button.
  C. Also chose which records to use Tab and select all records with Tag 1.

This completed the assignment of your master souce to all the records
in you PedFile database.

IMPORTANT STEP HERE:  Make a backup of your master database before you
do any merging of the PedFile into your master database.

7.  Now, just merge the PedFile with your Master database file and do
not assign any master source -- you have already done that in steps
3-6 above.

Good luck.

 Hi All:



 I have a question about how to get detail added to source citations when I
 import a file.

 Specifically, I have downloaded from the Pedigree Resource File a person's
 entire submission - ~1,000 individuals. I have gone through all the
 instructions in Legacy's help system (e.g. Database Management Notes by
 Joseph V. Leavitt) and am ready to do the merge.

 I want to add an assigned source to every individual in the file I am
 merging. So I chose assign a master source. I then see that I get sent to
 the list of master source citations I have in my master database – i.e. a
 list that contains the master Pedigree Resource File source. Great so far.



 However, the dilemma is that I want to add source detail to every individual
 identifying the CD and other information of the submitter. From what I can
 tell, Legacy will only allow me to assign a master source and not add the
 detail that is necessary to identify the specifics of the submission.

 Is there a way to do add this detail? Thanks,


 Greg

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort Number Portion Numerically?

2007-09-07 Thread Leon Chapman

Rob:
This is not a Legacy problem.  It is a Windows / computer feature.
If you want the files to sort correctly you will need to use something like
this:

MS0001 - file name.tif
MS0010 - file name.tif
MS0100 - file name.tif
MS0002 - file name.tif
MS0020 - file name.tif
MS0200 - file name.tif
MS0003 - file name.tif
MS0030 - file name.tif

The trick is to use the same number of digits each time.  Your name scheme
basically uses a blank after the digit and that is why it gets sorted early.

Re: [LegacyUG] Chart printing

2007-09-01 Thread Leon Chapman

Bill:

I don't think most people would ever want to print a chart with everyone in
their database.. I for one have over 30,000 people in my database and a
chart for everyone would probably be a block long - how do you print that
and what would you do with it if you had it?

Most people will probably only print a few generations of ancestors and/or
descendants, say 5 to 10 and place them in a frame to hang on the wall. If
I would try to print say 15 generations of all ancestors, my chart would
probably exceed 100 pages. Most fan type charts for practical purposes are
normally limited by the user to about 5-7 generations, otherwise, you cannot
read the print or it gets too large to print economically.

You might want to print a direct line ancestry chart which if you could get
5 generations per page, then a 25 generation ancestry chart would only be 5
pages - that would be ok. I have printed out over 100 generations like that
and it is basically 2 people per generation.

In Legacy 6, you can create a compact form of ancestors charts (Ancestor
Chart) that is very useful for determining what lines of ancestors that you
need to do more research on. You can start with the youngest person in your
database for your family and create say 15 generations -- preview it first
before you sent it to a printer - you may not want to print that many pages.
I would suggest you try that 1st and see if that meets your needs.
