Re: [LegacyUG] Events in Assigned Sources list in tree from GEDCOM
Hello Paul, I think what you are looking at is the list of POTENTIAL items for which a source could be entered - if appropriate. In the same way, any new entered by you has Death and Burial listed in this potential list. I believe they cannot be removed but they will not show up in reports unless some data gets entered for that particular source. (I selected Had No Children and clicked Remove, and that didn't seem to work.) The Remove in this instance is to remove any data entered for that potential source. Clicking Remove will remove the data entered but not the potnetial source from the list. In my opinion, no need to be concerned about them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Drag & Drop
I don't believe Mike's reply to be correct. The help file shows, under Drag and Drop: How to Copy From One File to Another When you have two family files open at the same time, you can drag a name, a family, or an entire line from one file to the other It goes on to explain about merge. I have used it many times where the starting person for the drag does not exist in the second database and a linking is then needed. You must have highlighted the bar (normally blue but depending on your colour scheme) on the top of the database you want to copy from. A drag and drop starts with a screen on options to copy just one indiviaual, all that person's ancestors, all that person's descendants, all that person's family, all that family line, or all the file. Make a selection and click on "Start Copy". I am sure Ronald Ferguson would chip in with 'but back up first". Cheers Paul Brown.

Re: [LegacyUG] Restore multimedia zip file
G'day Richard, I can't really comment on Secure zip as I use ZipGenius, another freebie. I have a similar setup to yours in that I mainly work on my desktop but frequently copy my files to my laptop. I have no troulbe doing this, either from Desktop to Laptop or vice versa. Firstly, I exclusively use the Legacy backups, the ones we are prompted with when we close Legacy. I place these directly to a USB disk. Copying the .fdb file, as you have said you do, does not copy some of the other files you may have set up. On the other computer, I restore the family file in Legacy using File > Restore family file. I have all of my pictures stored under C:\Legacy\Pictures\BC Pics and about 100 folders under that - divided up by family, certificate type etc. On the machine I am transferring to, I first kill the BC Pics file. Then I use Windows Explorer to find the Pics Backup on the USB, right click it and use ZipGenius and Extract to.. I simply tell it to extract to the C: drive and all get restored where they should be. Hope this helps.

For a couple years I've been copying my Legacy multimedia files from desk to laptop, (sometimes vice-versa), using File / backup multimedia files to create a zip file and then extracting on the other computer. Both computers used the same Win XP zip extraction utility. I did not have a zip creation utility on either. I assumed Legacy used it's own internal zip creation utility. Win XP can't create zip files so 2 months ago I installed a free "Secure zip for windows" on desktop to enable sending a more compact email attachment to a cousin. Yesterday I copied Legacy FDB file from desk to laptop and also the multimedia zip backup. I deleted all Legacy multimedia files (some have been renamed or moved within subdirectories so would no longer be linked). When I extracted the multimedia zip backup on laptop it stopped with a message that a file required a password to unzip. Not knowing a password I clicked "skip file" for about 60 times until extraction completed. I then used Options/Customize/Locations to create a list of missing MM files. Mostly the missing were .mht (MHTML) but some were .jpg and maybe .bmp. I was able to open the multimedia zip backup in Win explorer and drag and drop the subdirectories into legacy to fill in the missing MM files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Dropdown Box Idea
Like Ron, I am somewhat skeptical of this idea. I cannnot see any advantage in this suggestion and some serious disadvantages. If I have read the suggestion properly, the idea could be achieved using the source clipboard. If the master source is put on the clipboard and the 'Prompt for detail' box is ticked, anything typed for the first source is repeated for the others - providing they are all done at the same time. If you are a 'lumper' - which I am not, and you get parents' name from a birth cert, then I assume you note the name of the newnborn in the detail. If you put that on the clipboard for the child, then on entering the name of the parents and clicking to enter the source from the clipboard, the name of the child will appear in the detail section. The source clipboard is one of the best 'labour-saving' devices in Legacy. Because pf the way BMD Indices are published in Australia, we can have several thousand detail entries for one master source and largely, they are not repeated. I tested to see how long a dropdown might take by using 'show list' in viewing the sources and found the wait annoying. In summary, I an against the suggestion. But, on the positive side, I suggest tyou try the clipboard and see if it helps.

I'll try to explain it using an example. Let's say you have an existing master source and you want to add source detail to it. It would be great if you could access a dropdown box that showed you all the other source detail entries already connected to that master source. Master Source: Cemetery A (along with all the relevant master source details: the URL, city and state, etc) When you click on the master source, you would be presented with any existing source details already used elsewhere. For example: Source detail options: tombstone entry for John Doe (with all other details such as accessed date, transcription, etc.) tombstone entry for Jane Doe tombstone photograph for Ralph Doe You could then just click one of the available choices and finally attach that where it needs to be (to a person, fact, or event). Often, a tombstone transcription needs to be attached in three places (name, birth date, death date) for each person. It is so wasteful to have the exact same master source and source detail combination in the database as three separate entries for a single person. It would be much more efficient (and easier to find and correct mistakes) to have a single source (master plus detail) linked in three (or more places) to various people and/or facts and/or events. For example, there would be one instance of "Cemetery A, tombstone entry for John Doe" and it would be linked three times to various places. This is especially important for those millions of census entries that have to be linked to every member of the household. I finally stopped linking them to several places and instead just linked them to the one census event for each person. That has saved a lot of space considering I have literally thousands on individual census entries. I may be asking for the impossible, but this linking concept could sure prove handy! -- Gail Rich Nestor Smyrna, Georgia www.roots2buds.net _ The next generation of MSN Hotmail has arrived - Windows Live Hotmail http://www.newhotmail.co.uk Give Legacy as a Gift for 25% Off.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom - Family Historian programme
G'day Carolyn, I assume you were trying to open the GEDCOM directly. You will need to open a new file in either Legacy or FTM if you just want to look at the new data you have received. Then, click on File in the almost top left hand corner. From the drop-down menu, select Import From, then in the new drop-down, Select GEDCOM File... You should be right from there. I have not used FTM for some time but the process is much the same. I hope my assumption is correct and that this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] photos of documents for sources
Nancy, I have hundreds of documents scanned into my sources. I find the feature invaluable. But there is a trap in viewing them and I presume your comment about 'unreadable' refers to the size of the display. To view the scanned doc, call up the 'Assigned sources' for the person and click on 'Edit Source' then click on 'Pictures'. An image will appear that, I agree, is unreadable and here's where the trap lies. The 'Zoom...' button in that screen does not mean zoom. It displays a list of fonts which seem to be useless. Sherry will undoubtedly tell me if I am misinterpreting the use of that button. You have to click on the 'Picture' frame (which should be couloured if you do have a picture there) on this screen to bring up yet another box. Now you will have a box such as 'Picture Gallery for Source: Birth' displaying all the pictures attached to this particular source. One picture will have a small coloured box under it. Decide which one you want to enlarge by clicking in the small box for the colour underneath the picture. Now you can go to 'Zoom' and it works. Another screen appears which may be readable but, if not, click on the 'In' box towards the bottom right of the screen (more than onec if necessary) to enlarge the picture. When you are finished looking at it, click 'Close'. Hope that helps. Paul. - Original Message - From: "Nancy Bender" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 10:53 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] photos of documents for sources I have seen some discussions about attaching pictures to sources so I decided to give it a try. I scanned a copy of a document and saved the picture as a .jpg. I viewed it, to be sure it was readable then saved a copy where I keep my Legacy photos. Then I went to Legacy to attach the picture to the source and when I do, the picture is basically unreadable. Is there something in the Legacy program that shows pictures with less quality? (I guess it has to do with resolution, but I don't know a lot about that.). If so, is it really worthwhile to attach documents at all? Thank you, Nancy Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [Poss SPAM] [LegacyUG] Deleting Address
Renee, I hsvr just deleted a cemetery record from an individual by clicking on Delete after getting the plus sign. It did not remove the address from anyone else. If in doubt, I suggest a "Backup Family File..." even to another file on your hard drive before testing. You will always have the option of "Restore Family File..." if something goes wrong. Cheers Paul Brown - Original Message - From: Renee Zamora To: Legacy Mailing List Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 1:31 PM Subject: [Poss SPAM] [LegacyUG] Deleting Address I have something that is really bugging me, and I can't figure out how to delete this. I am talking about accidentally adding an address to lets say the burial field. I type in the location and then want to add the cemetery name. I use the little plus sign to add the information from my addresses. Then later I find out that isn't the right information how do I then delete the address from that one record. Without deleting the actual address in my master list. Hence deleting all record to it to every individuals. At least thats what I think it will do, delete the entire record and not just to that use with that one individual. To afraid to experiment. The only way I can seem to get ride of an attached address is to create a duplicate event and then switch it and then get ride of that whole event. Confusing, hope you understand and can enlighten me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Companion
G'day Martin, I currently use Legacy Charting Companion and Family Tree Super Tools. From memory, I think I paid about $US30.00 for each. I also had formerly Generations but could not get it to work with WinXP. I think Generations also had problems with trying to print to a single sheet for output on a plotter. I have not explored putting free test into either LCC or FTST but both will let you insert pictures (if you have them in your Legacy database). When I want a chart, I generally prepare one from each program & then decide which I like. As to ease of use, I think FTST is initially easier. I found LCC a real pain until I received some help from Progeny - easy enough to find from their website. And, I do say they were very helpful. My problem was in getting printing on a plotter where it is necessary to print to the Progeny Printer, select a custom size for paper and then do recalculations (from the prompt) until the chart prints on a single page. Now that I am used to it, I can do it fairly easily. Both have some flexibility in terms of layout. To sum up, I am not sorry I paid for each of them. Hope that helps. Perhaps someoneelse can add to it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Weird Date Problem
G'day Nancy, Looks like there may be a conflict betwwen the setting up of dates in your computer between the operating system and Legacy. That is the first thing to suspect when you get something like 12 Aug turned around to 8 Dec - the system is confused when it gets 8/12 about whether 8 is the month or the day. You need the same settings in the operating system - Control Panel > Regional & Language > Standard Formats > Customise > Date as you have in Legacy > Customize > Options > Dates > Dates Displayed as. The problem is that, in the date formats in Legacy, Americans use 1 or 3, in Australia, we use 2 or 4 whereas the only really logical ones are 5 and 6. Might throw some light on your problem.

I select Monday and double click on it (I already had placed the cursor in the burial field) and whalla, it comes up Feb 3, 1993!! It should read Aug 2, 1993, of course. If I select and double click on Aug 12, 1993, it inserts Dec 8, 1993. I do the same thing in other years and the date inserted is correct. The problem seems to be the year 1993. Nothing selected and double clicked in 1993 comes up correct. Was it a leap year or something??
