Re: [LegacyUG] Repository Question
An interesting new wrinkle on repositories. I recently extracted from GoogleBooks pages from the 1883 "Transactions of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama" which was filmed from that source in the Library of the City of New York. I got all the credits reported but it certainly doesn't look pretty.

Re: [LegacyUG] What size pictures are too big, when I need to think about space
I think pictures can be too big and I read about this somewhere and have experienced it. If a very large picture is forced down to, say a thumbnail as would be along side a name, it becomes wavy and indistinct since Legacy has now way, of which I am aware, to scale them down. Agree, experimenting is good but what I do is shrink the pictures before calling them into Legacy, say to 400 pixels on the longest dimension.

I think the response was vulgar. The user obviously doesn"t understand the terms and perhaps even the language. I am glad someone has taken him under wing for help.

two more cents worth since this is probably off topic, please don't throw away the original photographs. They have lasted probably over 100 years and are likely to last alot longer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Photo Quality
This is purely my own lazy and time stressed opinion. I would leave them "as is" unless you have a particular need for an individual photo. Some would suggest that leaving them untouched is more conservative.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying Source Detail
I know this has been covered in other answers but this is what I do: If I want to pickup a source and detail entered anytime in the past, I go to that item, highlight it, and push the Clipboard symbol (those things that look like two papers on top of each other in the lower left screen.) This will erase whatever has been on the Clipboard and will ask you if you want to include the Details, which you would answer "yes". Then you go to where you want this Source/Detail group, highlight the line and push the small line under the triangle. The Source and detail will be deposited there. I hope I made myself clear. Learning this trick has saved a lot of time doing the various manipulations mentioned in some of the answers.

[LegacyUG] Line on Individual report
If I have a cause of death stated in the medical notes section, on the Individual report the line after the Cause of Death has a line bisecting it. Any thoughts?

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing event and verification
as far as what to do with newer information, I think it would be unwise to delete forever some information you have. I think you need to decide which is likely to most valid. I don't think you said what data is in question, but I would put all the information in different ALT,Imm events and properly note in the notation area what the problem is. I can appreciate verification discrepancies. I have a lot of them and at present prefer to ignore. I'll need to deal with them sooner or later. Hopefully I can be more precise going forward.

Re: [LegacyUG] acid-free ink
At the risk of pushing further off topic and off Legacy focus, I'm concerned that the scenario of one of us passing and a grandchild, perhaps 10 to 15 years in the future coming upon our work and trying to use it.. Looking back 10 to 15 years is suspect any electronic media or software to read the media will not be readily available and only accessible at great expense.

Re: [LegacyUG] acid-free ink
Jeff, There must be more to "Archival" vs "Acid Free" Paper. For one, they claim it lack "lignums" Don't know the answer re inkjet ink but I suspect it is acid free just considering the havoc acid ink would play on nozzle etc.(even recognizing the acidity is very mild.) A note about laser printers...they only deposit a substance(call it ink) on the surface of the paper which does not penetrate the paper and may slough off in time..how much time is always an interesting question. Also, some of the newer inkjet inks claim to have a long life but not forever which is what we all want.

RE: [LegacyUG] Linking a document based filing system to individuals in Legacy
I think you miss the point. I already have hundreds of entries and documents, I would now need to go back and put an appropiate id on the database.

[LegacyUG] Linking a document based filing system to individuals in Legacy
I finally agree that my system of filing documents under people names will not stand the test of time. If I want to migrate to a document based system, ala Clooz, how do I go back to the individual file in Legacy and indicate what the code number is for the appropriate document? My file is now two portable file boxes but the way I am accumulating documents, I will soon be overwhelmed to change. By the way, I don't trust computer technology to work for long term document storage. If I pass (and I surely will) and no one picks this up for ten years or (god forbid) a generation, I can guarantee that the data forms I use will be unreadable. I like paper.

Re: [LegacyUG] primary scource and pedigree charts
Naomi, I have no suggestions on the second part of your question. However, regarding self as a primary source, I use this when I know from having been present or have on good information that an event occurred, for example, I just attended a nephew's wedding. I don't feel I need to ask the couple for a marriage certificate to enter it. I use something to the effect of "Contemporaneous history of" the dots being whomever since I will use such a source for a lot of recent things where the history giver is alive and reliable. I know this will stimulate disagreement on the forum but that is what I do. I do keep documentation that is available such as wedding announcements to back up my history.

Cathy, Am I to take from your response to Teri that you donot imbed photos in the text of a report but print them and insert them separately and "manually?"

You'll have to decide what you like best.To help as you have a number of queries embedded in your query.Whether or not the photo belongs with the Master Source or the Source Detail, depends on whether it is a photo of the Master Source or just that particular Source Detail.If attached to an event, it will appear in the report every time you print that particular event. If the same event and photo are attached to 7 people, it will appear for all 7 people.Event photos are in the body of the report.Source photos are amongst the Sources at the end.A big issue is how readable they are when included in a report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Paid Genealogy Search Sites
Laura, I could not function without Ancestry.com. It is true, if you are near a public library that subscribes and they have enough computers you could do without buying it yourself. However, if you like going from Legacy's Resource module directly to Ancestry, it obviously needs to be available on your home computer. You might want to try the trial subscription then sign up for the monthly program(overall much more expensive.) Unless you do alot of British Isles, be sure you sign up for only the US version.

I understand there are risks in estimating dates in my family file, but the reason I want to do this is that I am at a point that I have hit a brick wall (or so it seems). So what I have done is exported my family file to an excel file and have added columns named WWI, WWII, SSDI, census years, obit, etc This way, using filters, I can easily see what I may not have checked or need to check again. For example, I can go to the library and pull up everyone who died in Illinois who I do not have an obit on if I have an exact date, or if it is an estimated date, I can go to Ancestry and focus on anyone who I have not found a WWI draft registration card. However, having an estimated date of birth, and death, is critical. So what I have done is started estimating, one by one. I have 1,000 completed but still have 4,000 to go. What I was hoping to do was to create estimated dates in Legacy, export my file, then delete the estimated dates in Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering source details
I feel I need to weigh in here. I suspect 40% of the entries on this list are, in one way or another, related to recording sources. As a relatively new genealogist, I picked up Legacy on recommendations. I did not know the importance of formatting sources and how there were standards to meet should one want to publish, etc. The software itself was mostly silent as to the "correct" way to cite sources. You needed to buy a CD to get a tutorial on sourcing, and, with apologies to Goeff, this was inadequate to the task. I love Legacy. I would not give it up for almost anything. However, having to analyze each entry on the Individual Report to hopefully get it close to "standard" is at least annoying. I feel this can be programmed in a way that the information is easy, and intuitive, to enter and meets the standards for further publication of the work.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pages numbers using the publishing centre
I also had problems with page numbering when I generated a Decendency Book and subsequently changed some of the type to make it more legible. I had planned to correct this in editing but the error is still in the program. Nick CirilloSandra Williamson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have generated a book using the publishing centre which includes two individual reports and two special text entries The entire book goes for 13 pages. When I add in the table of contents it says that all the 4 different reports start on page 1 and the sources start on page 2 (I allocated to put the sources at the end of the book). The page numbers were also not consecutive across the entire book even though I had selected "Number all pages consecutively in the format section of each report..Also when I initially built the book I had the reports in a different order which I subsequently changed so that the book read more easily. The change has been reflected in the order of each chapter/section but not in table of contents which is still telling the reader that the chapters/sections are in original order and all start on page 1 (which of course they no longer are).How can this be corrected?

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Folder
Along these lines, I have, from the beginning had a folder callled Genealogy Images. If a picture from my personal collection is needed for Legacy, I make a copy in there with subtle change in name. My question is: Now this folder is quite large and I would like to break it down to the 4 family trees I am working on, If I move an image from the master folder to a subfolder (still in the Geanology Images folder) will Legacy find it for inclusion in the program or must I re-identify it in Legacy?

Fairfax VACathy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Diane,You can have as many copies of a photo as you like on your hard drive, so long as they're in different folders.I have my original scans in sub-folders in a folder called Family Originals - mostly as tifs. I have a down-sized jpg copy for Legacy in sub-folders in a folder called Legacy Pictures (no bigger than screen size which is still too large for most Legacy uses but great for slideshows). I like to keep the same name - or at least the same beginning to the name - so that I can easily find the original. I start my filenames with a code made up of a few letters to tell me who owns the original or which album they're in and a number. eg eva056 tells me that this photo is the 56th photo I scanned when scanning photos belonging to my Aunt Eva; cjphar023 means that I have the original in my Harris Album.If I've cropped the photo I add a letter to the code. So attached to Legacy I may have eva056b, eva056d, eva056f - if I've taken head and shoulders out of a group photo and they're the best I have for that person.Of course I have backups of all these on my external hard drive and also on CDs.Captions are a problem as they're often photo editor or program dependent. I add some indication of the contents of the photo in the filename.You can add jpg comments that are embedded in the file and visible to some programs or IPTC captions etc - more extensive and again embedded in the file and visible to some programs (but unfortunately not Legacy) or use systems peculiar to your photo editor - or Legacy - but then if you change program, you've lost all your captions.How many sub-folders you use depends on you.

RE: [LegacyUG] Scanning (Off-topic?)
There is a down side to using the higher resolution on photographs and scans, that is, the image will distort if you reduce it to the thumbnail size such as would accompany a persons entry on Legacy. In those instances, I have had to make a separate image at a much lower resolution, such as 150dpi to avoid this.

Usually yourcomputer will have software (Nero, Roxio, etc.). If you open that you willbe presented with two screens, one of which is your hard drive's filingsystem and the other for files to burn. If you click on the file in thewindow for your computer and click on an arrow, it will "move" the file tothe box to be burned to CD.After you've selected all the files you want toburn, you then click on whatever is available that says to start creating orburning the CD.However, another thing I wanted to tell you is that quite often whencomputers "crash" the whole hard drive isn't lost. I've never lost a filefrom a hard drive even though I've been using a computer for about tenyears. Even if something is wrong with the Windows portion of the hard driveso that it won't boot up, etc., you can piggy back the hard drive ontoanother computer and access it and the files just like a jump drive or anexternal hard drive.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census - Citation
All, I absolutely need to chime in here. I have studied Mills' *Evidence* and *Quicksheet*. They very much follow the tenents of *Chicago Manual of Style* and as a result are very stilted. I have tried to massage my source references in Legacy to come close to this standard but have, to date, failed. I am resigned to doing the best I can and try to find some uniform method of entry that works for me. If I publish, I will need to edit to get things in the proper order and punctuation. I do try to get all the elements in the Source to preclude needing to look them up in the future(presuming I had the foresight to record them someplace initially.)
