Re: [LegacyUG] unknown surnames
It depends If you have a unknown child of a known couple the program will default the last name in and then you can just leave the first name blank If you have an unknown spouse but known children, when you add the children the spouse will automatically default to unknown If you know that someone was married but you don't know what their first or last name was you can add an AKA such as Mrs. David Smith and then leave her name blank If you only know the first name of a spouse just add the first name and leave the surname blank [David Smith married Gladys for example] If you have children but the parents are unknown you can add a father with the same last name and the spouse will default to unknown michele - Original Message - From: Ron Ferguson rnldfe...@tiscali.co.uk To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 12:34 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] unknown surnames Jennifer Dorner wrote: I cannot find on the Legacy site how they recommend dealing with individuals whose surnames are unknown.

One reason I chose Legacy was its similarites to Generations in how data is presented (the interface.) But Legacy has so many wonderful features that Generations never had! The biggest tip I have for you is to learn to use the clipboards, both the Source clipboard and the Event clipboard. These are also two of the features that were the hardest for me to learn how to use. I read and re-read the help files Clipboard, Source and Clipboard, Event many times, and read postings to this list before it finally clicked for me. But once learned, it makes adding the same event or source to many different people an absolute breeze. The second tip would be to decide early on how to organize and name your sources as this will determine how they appear in the Master Source List, and it will make it much easier for you to find the source again. In Legacy the Master Source List is displayed in numeric and alphabetic order whereas in Generations the Source List is in order by the number assigned to the source when you entered it. There has been a great deal of discussion on this list about how to organize sources -- to lump or split, to group by state or by event (birth, death, marriage, etc.) and on and on.

Re: [LegacyUG] Most have switched?
I switched from FTM about 4 years ago. Yes, there was A LOT of cleanup but it was a GOOD thing! It forced me to look at everything again and I found a lot of errors. Also, the county verifier and the potential problems feature of Legacy found a ton more errors that FTM never caught. I was able to standarize my events, locations, surnames, you name it. The 2nd cleanup mode began when I started going from the Basic source generator to the Sourcewriter. Again, it made me go back over everything and I was able to make everything uniform and consistent. I am almost finished with converting all my sources over. All I have left is the 1870 and the 1880 census and I am halfway through the 1880 now. I am VERY happy with Legacy. michele - Original Message - From: William H.

I have tried to post this message three times over the past week, so if a duplicate materializes, I apologize in advance. I'm beginning to wonder if I've been blacklisted! Anyway - I am trying to use the spell checker to correct a lot of errors in my notes and ran across a couple of issues that I do not seem to be able to figure out: (1) Specifically, the use of military designators, such as 1st Infantry, 384th TFW, etc. , - the spell checker will accept these if spelled out, such as 'first' Infantry, 'Three Eighty Fourth' TFW, etc., but will not permit me to add the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., designators to the dictionary so that when encountered again, it will allow changes. Aside from 'ignoring' these errors each time I ask the spell checker to start anew (as opposed to 'starting where left off'), is there any way to add the 1st, 2nd., etc., to the spell checker for future usage? (2) On a secondary issue with the spell checker, I am unable to correct misspelled data in the Global spell checker unless it is a word in the spell checker dictionary. My solution? Write the RIN number on a piece of paper, then go to that RIN - visit his/her Notes field, read the whole note and manually correct the spelling problems as I go - OR - I copy the whole note, paste it to a WORD document, make the corrections, then copy and paste it back into Legacy. A most convoluted process, but it is easier for me than trying to use the spell checker when it doesn't permit me to manually change 'da te' to 'date' or to type the proper name and change it on the spot. Lots of effort, but I'm now about 40% through my 21,000 RIN's, and hope to finish in about 6 weeks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Lost and needing help
Mary, Is this the first genealogy program you have used? I can see how it could be VERY overwhelming to someone who has never used a computer genealogy program before. Most of us have switched from other programs (and it still can be a little daunting). Please do not hesitate to ask questions. About your specifc question about the sources... You might be happier using the basic source option. You can format your sources to look just like YOU want them to look. It may not conform with Evidence Explained but as long as your sources are CONSISTENT and they contain the information a person needs to find that source again, then you are doing a good job :) Michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] How do I get the numbers to show up
If you try and combine one source with another but they were made using different templates it will not let you combine them. A message comes up and it asks you if you want to see the template numbers. If you hit yes, a new column comes up and it has the ID number of the template. You can then look over the list and see at a glance which sources use the same template. It is handy when you are trying to standardize your output because when you chose a template, sometimes you have more than one choice to pick from.

Re: [LegacyUG] Death location
If the cremains are later interred, you can do a cemetery event which is what I do for buried people to. died 04 Jun 1925 buried (or cremated) 06 Jun 1925 then event... Cemetery Belluvue Cemetery 25 Jun 1025 , Columbia Co, GA and in the notes I can write something like... The family had a special memorial ceremony at graveside and buried the cremains. [just a made up example] Even if a person is NOT cremated and is just buried, I have a date for the death, a date for the burial, and cemetery info. In this care the date of burial and the cemetery date will be the same but it doesn't have to be. michele - Original Message - From: Mike Fry mike...@iafrica.com To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 6:09 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Death location William H.

No idea where the cremains were buried. In that case, enter the death details as normal. Leave the burial/cremation details blank. Create an event for the disposal of the body. I noticed you can't select both cremated and burial. It's either one or the other. I think I have a separate event for cremations. A body is normally either buried or cremated. So, death details apply as usual. Change the Burial/Cremation details to read Cremation and enter the date and details. Then, either enter the interment details in the Notes for the Cremation or, create an event as in former case. -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.

I am trying to figure out what the best way to title this event. Affidavit? (that is what the document it). Court Appearance (that one just sounds strange). This document isn't a deed.

He was there to prove that he was the Silas Simmons that fought in the War of 1812 and was at the Battle of New Orleans so that he would be entitled to bounty land (there was another Silas Simmons in the area so he went to court to prove he was who he said he was). I am trying to figure out what the best way to title this event. Affidavit? (that is what the document it). Court Appearance (that one just sounds strange). This document isn't a deed. I don't know what I should title the event. Any suggestions? I want it to be an event so that I can show the progession of all the events of his life in order of dates. (one of the reasons I like Legacy). michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] How would you add this event?
Silas appeared in front of the Magistrate with witnesses who stated under oath that they could swear that this Silas Simmons was the one that served in the War of 1812. There was a hold out on the issuance of his bounty land because there were TWO Silas Simmons', He had to come to court and prove who he was before they would release the land. michele - Original Message - From: Ron Ferguson rnldfe...@tiscali.co.uk To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:13 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How would you add this event?

It could be an oath (Affidavit) sworn by him, in which case it was clearly contested, it could be a defendants summons to court, a plaintiff's application to the court, the judgement of the court and so forth. One should simply call the document what it is! The suggestion in your other post re. type of source seems reasonable, for what you have described and the Event could be the name of the court. I have some Events such as Coroner's Court, Westmorland Quarter Sessions etc., Description: the type of case - this is usually on the Court Documents, Date and Place are obvious.

[LegacyUG] Tagging people question
If I tag a group of people that I need to check or fix something on If I use the arrows at the bottom of screen to go through the list... As long as I don't change anything on the person it will go to the next person. If I make a change to the person then when I hit the arrow it will say End of Tag List reached, moving to first Tagged Individual. This is VERY aggravating. If I am changing things on everyone in the list then every time I hit the arrow to go to the next person I get that screen and then I have to click it off, then hit the arrow again. Does that make sense? michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

[LegacyUG] living again
I did everything y'all to do but the program is still killing people that are long dead. If someone married in 1821 there is no way they could be alive but Legacy is marking them as living unless I manually kill them off. I have tagged everyone in my file that is marked as living that doesn't have a birth date and I am killing them off one at a time. I only have 2000 more to check! Maybe Legacy can add some additional parameters for automatically killing people off. If a person was married 100 years ago or more he is probably dead. If his mother died over 100 years ago he is probably dead etc. The problem is that my uploaded file on the internet has 1/3 of the people marked as living so my file isn't very helpful to anyone. michele - Original Message - From: Eileen reilee...@yahoo.com To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:53 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Master l Source is messing up Well I just hate to write again about anything to do with Legacy, I have not done anymore updates for fear of some unknown happening.

My family has a unique name wherein anyone in Canada with the same spelling is related and the spelling has always been consistent within the family going back over 200 years, but the errors in census are amazing.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to cite?
My answers are below... 1)-What are your opinions on what information to cite? I have some individuals in my family who appear in many records; for example, one of my 6th great-grandfathers appears no less than 17 times in church records. Is it appropriate for me to create citations for all 17 times his name appeared in the records? If each entry is completely distinct them I would record them all. It just gives you a better picture of your ancestor. For example, My Obedience Lee Perry should up in many church records mainly because she was a bit of a rebel and she was always being called on the carpet :) :) :) 2)-For more recent ancestors, their names may appear dozens of times in various records. Do I cite only the most reliable (vital, church records) ones or cite other obscure ones as well that give the same information? This is something that I have been thinking about for a long time and just need some opinions on it. I always cite all references to a particular fact. It shows that I have checked everything. For example, a date of death... I might have cemetery record obituary death certificate Bible record SSDI Sometimes they won't all agree! If I just picked one to use then I might be missing something. Just because I have a Bible record doesn't mean I am not going to look for the grave or an obit or a death certificate.

Yes they do keep the same number, provided that you never opt to change them. To be doubly sure I uncheck the Reuse Abandoned RINs in OptionsCustomiseData Defaults. I know that this will not cause a change in the RINs ie. it only comes into play when new data is added, but I found that I could delete a name and on entering a new one it would take the place of the one which I had deleted. In itself that is not a problem, but it certainly becomes one when using other software to look for changes in files.

Another dirty little secret of your Internet Service Provider is that your up/download speed is not guaranteed but rather sold to you as up to X Mbps. Your results may varyand they will. 7. The speed and efficiency of the server to which you are uploading will affect the time it takes you to transfer files. Normally, it isn't much of a factor unless you are using AOL, etc. If you don't know for sure, call and ask your ISP exactly what speed package you are paying for: you need two numbers as an answer. For example, a typical answer might be 3 Meg down and 256K up. Note that in this example it's the 256K upload speed which determines how long it takes for you to upload web pages. Finally (and really getting off topic now), if you are still having long delays uploading web pages, go here to test your ACTUAL speed as opposed to what you are paying for: http://www.speedtest.net/ Brian in CA -Original Message- From: Michele Lewis [mailto:cranberryf...@charter.net] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 8:52 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages I have a Dell laptop with 2GB RAM.

Re: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages
My web pages = about 35.73. At an upload speed of 1.00, should it still be taking 2 hours? michele - Original Message - From: Brian L. Lightfoot br...@the-lightfoots.com To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 1:09 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] uploading web pages Offhand, I would say you have excellent connectivity to the Internet. Uploading your Legacy web pages should not be much of a problem. Your specific numbers indicate a 3.89 megabit download speed which is very good. You are probably paying for a 4 megabit connection but if you are actually paying for a 6 megabit connection, then it is time to complain to your ISP because they are not living up to the bargain. Your upload speed is 1 megabit which is also very good. You are probably paying for a 1 megabit connection which means you are getting 100% of what you are supposed to be getting. That is almost unheard of so I suspect that you are probably supposed to be getting a 1.5 megabit connection which means you are still getting a good portion of what you are paying for. These speeds are always sold as a package, i.e., 4/1.5 or 6/2. Only your ISP can tell you what you are paying for. The bottom line is that with an upload speed of 1 megabit, you should have no problem uploading Legacy web pages. With a 1 megabit upload, it took longer for me to type this message than you could upload 100 pages. By the way, I should add that for anybody thinking it is taking too long to upload any web pages, under no circumstances could the problem ever be anything to do with Legacy. I think any further discussions about network connectivity should probably be taken to a different forum or else email me privately and I'll be glad to help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth certificate as a master source
I have my birth certificates (as well as marriage and death) set up by juridisdiction. DEATH RECORDS - GA - Columbia Co - certificates DEATH RECORDS - MS - Lamar Co - certificates DEATH RECORDS - MS - Perry Co - certificates MARRIAGE RECORDS - FL - Hillsborough Co - certificates MARRIAGE RECORDS - GA - Richmond Co - certificates MARRIAGE RECORDS - MS - Forrest Co - certificates I do it this way based on the information asked for when you use the source writer. It asks for state and county so you can have 1 source for all the certicificates coming form that state and county. The detail screen asks for the certificate number, the year and the person(s) named on the certificate. There is no reason to make a master source for every single person. michele - Original Message - From: Boyd Miller bo...@vodafone.net.nz To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 5:57 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Birth certificate as a master source I treat each birth, marriage and death certificate as a master source because information from each certificate relates to a number of different people. A birth certificate can give father's and mothers full names, ages (hence approximate birth date), occupations and birthplaces, parents marriage date and place, and birth informant. Other certificates similarly have data on several people apart from the certificate subject person(s). I am trying to cite a birth certificate issued in Scotland. The template for a birth certificate comes from Birth recordsBirth certificateAll countries except.Created at state/provincial levelbasic format (Most other options within this certificate string get you to a similar set of fields) There does not appear to be a field to record whose birth the certificate relates to. If I use this master source to, for instance, source the parent's marriage place or the father's occupation, there is no way in the printed out source list that comes from this template, to tell which certificate the information was taken from. I can title the document in the Source List Name to uniquely identify it, but that does not print out in the reports. The same issue relates to citing marriage and death certificates - there does not appear to be a field to record the name of the principal player. These templates are thus of no use at all, or am I missing something? Do I have to go back to the Basic source format and use the Title field to get a source that tells me whose birth is being recorded? How does anybody else cite a birth certificate?

[LegacyUG] Speaking of Version 8...
Here is a quote off of the web site... One of the highlights came in the afternoon when Dave decided to spill the beans on one of our upcoming version 8 features. I couldn't believe it. We decided before the cruise that we weren't going to say anything about version 8. The moment we do, the questions always start rolling in about when it will be available. Everyone on board was sworn to secrecy. Now you have another reason to cruise with us..Anyways, the feature he explained is a great one and I can't wait for all of you to have it. In fact, all of the things we've been working on are really terrific! However, I'm sure it will still be quite some time before v8 is available, and we're not even saying soon yet. What about us poor smucks that can't go on these cruises, don't we deserve at least a little hint? michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering US Census Information
Alan, I have answered all of your questions below Interesting so you don't use the default Census event but instead use an event for each Census? I had not thought about that. I guess that works better with the sentence structure and wording? I have a separate event for every federal census year (1790 through 1930) and I have separate events for assorted state censuses (for example, 1845 Mississippi State Census) as well as territorial census (1816 Mississippi Territorial Census). It is nice and tidy and prints nice. That isn't that many really. There are 14 for the federal census. I see for what I assume is your notes section you list each family member that was on the Census. So do you put that same event in for each person so that in your first example the exact same event (notes and all) for B.F. Graham, Sarah Ann, Archibald, Sarah E, Isabella, and William? I figure you would so that a report for any one person would show everything and one knows who the Head of House Hold was etc. Yes, your are looking at the notes section. I do attach the census to everyone that is included in that census. I do it that why because that is what was suggested on the Legacy videos and I have found it to be useful. If I do an individual report, you will get all of the info. If I only attached it to the head of household it would be harder to look at the person as a whole, their migration (from when they were in their parents' household, to their marriage household, to the household of one of their children)/ I also noted that you did not put down unable to read or write for the kids. I got a kick out of finding my Grandfather on a Census entry and it saying could not read or write when i knew he could then i realized he was 3 at the time of the Census. I write it as written. You will find all kinds of silly things on the census. For example, boys listed as girls, girls listed as boys, a head of household (who was in his 50s) listed as being 12. If it isn't a glaring error, I will mark it with a [sic]. Also, the census I copied is actually one that needs to be redone. I prefer listing it as unable to read or write, speaks English (separating the speaking of English out of the reading and writing).

(The US State part may seem redundant, however, it differentiates the census event from a state within another country.) Most of my census entries are the Census, US Federal event. In the description field, I enter, for example, page 15C (362); roll T9_1322; enumeration district 135. The page number in parenthesis indicates a page number applied to the document after the census was taken. (Sometimes the original page number must be determined by examining pages before and/or after the page in question.) The roll number identifies the original film roll number of the document. (I get the roll number information from the source citation of each census image on Ancestry.com. You must be an Ancestry subscriber to access this information.) In the date field, I use the date of the enumeration shown on the census sheet, for example: 07 Jun 1880. In the place field, I obviously enter the place where the census enumeration was taken, such as: Precinct 1, Parker County, Texas, USA. When I save a copy of the census image, I give it a filename using the following format: Census, US Federal - 1880 Precinct 1, Parker County, Texas (p 15C).jpg. This way, I can just look at the file and know it pertains to the Census, US Federal event. It tells me the year and place where the census was taken. Also, in this example, I know that the image is of page/sheet 15C of the enumeration. (I use the original sheet number found on the document.) Then under the notes tab, I first place dwelling information, e. g., dwelling 127 / 127, line 47. For me, this indicates the order of the visitation of a particular dwelling and the order of the visitation of a particular family. The line number is, of course, the line on which the individual is shown. (The line number changes with each individual in the family.) I then double space and enter the information for the entire family similarly to the way Michele Lewis does it, as in her example below. I use bold font on the individual with whom I'm documenting so that he/she stands out from other family members. When finished, my entries looks something like this: Event: Census, US Federal Description: page 15C (362); roll T9_1322; enumeration district 135 Date: 07 Jun 1880 Place: Precinct 1, Parker County, Texas, USA Notes: dwelling 127 / 127, line 47 Line 45 = R.

I just like the freedom the an EVENT gives for reports, etc. Keith Surnames: McKain, Horn, Riale, Ulrich, Erisman, Leiphart, Reed and Henry Website: http://home.comcast.net/~geosci64 EMail: geosc...@gmail.com McCain-McKane-O'Kane DNA Group 1 On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 5:35 PM, William H.

Re: [LegacyUG] Capitalized Surnames

Somehow I have about 20 individual records where the surnames are permanently capitalized either by incorporating from a GEDCOM or from records I entered - can't tell at this point. I have tried to correct the capitalized surname by retyping it in the individual edit field, but the capitalized name continues to reappear when I 'save'. I have removed the offending capitalized name from tblNR and tblNX - but even though the capitalized name has been removed from these tables, it continues to plague me when I try to change it to the 'Smith' version on the individual edit. Even with deleting 'SMITH' from the tables and selecting the 'smith' name from the drop down arrow in the individual surname edit, it defaults to the 'SMITH' capitalized version on 'save' - even though 'SMITH' does not appear in the list. When 'SMITH' does appear in the list, I have tried to combine it with 'smith', and even though this occurs and only 'smith' remains, when I try to select and 'save' 'smith' from the individual edit feature, the surname reverts to 'SMITH'. It is not of monumental significance, but having Smith default to SMITH is an aggravation and I would like some advice on how to remove and correct this.

What I have seen less discussion of and really wanted to know more of is how to others document the lines/columns in a Census or do you even bother? 1. In Legacy you have an event called Census. What others enter do and find works best and why for the related event fields? -Description: -Date: -Place: -Notes: 2. How do you enter specific fields such as in the 1900 US Census like: Relation, Color or Race, Attended School, Can Read, Can Write, Can speak English, Owner or rented home, Farm or House .. or even my favorite in the 1870 Census is Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic. Do you actually type Can Read: then Yes or No etc.? For each field? Where do you put that info so it looks right and shows up. 3. Do you do anything different if they are Head of House Hold vs not? 4. If you find an occupation field do then also enter that information into a new occupation event? Same thing This information sorta seems like source text, but that did not seem like the best place to put it so it would show up right in most reports. I could see how some would even put it in two places event and source text and I don't mind doing that if that were the best thing How do others handle all the fields and fun details so it shows right in reports or do you just say they were listed in the Census and provide no detailed information?

When creating these reports, no information is included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertently left set as Living. Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are manually entered. The process is automatic if their death or burial information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than 120 years ago. If no birth, christening, death, or burial information is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to No. It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals manually, but the task can become formidable when adding hundreds or thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import. This is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy. This option does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates. To use the Advanced Set Living feature: 1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu. 2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin control. 3. Click the Start button. Legacy goes through your entire family file setting the Living flag to NO when it is determined that they are older than the you specified.

Re: [LegacyUG] marking people as not living
I don't think so Ron. I tagged over 1000 people in my file that fit the following criteria... no death date set as living Over 3/4 of those tagged are people that would have died before 1900 and couldn't possibly be alive. They had parents with birth dates of 1750 or children with birthdates of 1790 (you get the idea). I am manually going in and marking them as dead.

Re: [LegacyUG] marking people as not living
I am going to OPTIONS, CUSTOMIZE, DATA ENTRY, then there is a section titled Presumed Dead I have that set up but when I did it your way it killed off over 500 more people! michele - Original Message - From: ronald ferguson ronfe...@msn.com To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 4:41 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] marking people as not living Michele, How are you doing this? If you go to ToolsAdvanced Set Living, set the age to whatever age you require for age at death and run, it will set them all above that age as dead. No tags no nothing.

I tagged over 1000 people in my file that fit the following criteria... no death date set as living Over 3/4 of those tagged are people that would have died before 1900 and couldn't possibly be alive. They had parents with birth dates of 1750 or children with birthdates of 1790 (you get the idea). I am manually going in and marking them as dead. I realize it is partly my problem for not estimating birth and death dates or manually marking them as dead when I enter them. michele - Original Message - From: ronald ferguson To: Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 11:48 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] marking people as not living Michele, That is not so.

The significance to his is when you upload your file with all living persons blocked out a lot of your file is blocked out that shouldn't be. I am having to go through and find all these (I did it with a simple search, any body with no date of death that is marked living). michele From the help file; Advanced Set Living There are several Legacy reports, plus web pages, where the privacy of anyone whose Living status is set to Yes is protected by suppressing all personal details. When creating these reports, no information is included for ancestors born centuries ago if they are inadvertently left set as Living. Normally an individual's Living status is set at the time they are manually entered. The process is automatic if their death or burial information is entered or their birth or christening date is more than 120 years ago. If no birth, christening, death, or burial information is entered, their status remains at the default Yes, if not changed to No. It is an easy task to set the Living status of a few individuals manually, but the task can become formidable when adding hundreds or thousands of new people to your family file with a GEDCOM import. This is where the Advanced Set Living feature comes in handy. This option does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates. To use the Advanced Set Living feature: 1. Choose Advanced Set Living from the Tools menu. 2. Set the cutoff age at the desired level by either typing in the number or by using the up and down arrows of the spin

[LegacyUG] How would you source this?
The Pascagoula MS Library copied a genealogy file they had on the Lyons family (everything that was contained in the file folder). It is a collection of a hodge podge of things that has been gathered over the last 50 years. Many of the pages are just misc information with no additional sources added. For example, there are Bible pages but no info on the Bible itself or who it belonged to and pages copied out of unknown books that have pertinent info on them. I don't want to source each individual page in this file but rather the entire file as a whole.

[LegacyUG] Family Search
Regarding the news that Legacy will be synchronized with Family Search... A worker at the Family History Center was showing me Family Search and how she was entering data. I forgot to ask her something and I hope you will know. When you enter data/update the Family Search family tree, is there a place to enter sources (and if so, I assume that Legacy will automatically send the sources along with the data)? When I was watching her enter stuff, I didn't see any source info at all. I don't want to use any info off of there if sources are not included.

[LegacyUG] Web page again
I have my web page up and running on a new server (thanks Ron for all of your advice). I am on Rootsweb which has unlimited space so I have my entire file up there in pedigree format. It took about 2 hours to upload. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cranberryfrog/ One question... I had mentioned before that on the index of names pages, the names had Ps, Cs, and Ss after them (links to the childre, spouses and parents). I had mentioned that I would like those to not be there because I thought they were distracting. When I uploaded to the new server I noticed they were gone! I don't think I changed any settings or if I did, I didn't know I did! Does anyone know what you have to check or uncheck to have these Ps, Cs, and Ss there or not there? michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] US County Verifier
I haven't used the US County Verifier in quite a while but I went to use it today and it is different! Am I going crazy? I used to be able to hit the US County Verifier under Tools and it would do a search through my database and find any bad county names or counties that weren't formed yet. However, when I hit it now I just get a spreadsheet looking table of all of the counties with their formation dates.
