Re: [LegacyUG] OPTION FOR DAILY DIGEST IN FUTURE ??
Why reinvent the wheel. Subscribe to the Legacy group through Rootsweb. You have the option to subscribe in digest mode. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Millennia to bring their list serv into the modern day. They refuse to add vital security features such as the ability to block html and attachments, so do not hold your breath waiting for them to offer a digest mode.

True enough, there is a lot to wade through if there is just one LEGACY e-mail per day, but one can usually look to the SUBJECTS at the front of the digest and click on or go down to the particular subjects that interest them (they are usually numbered). In the absence of this, someone may wish to set up a YAHOO LEGACY group for those members who wish to be able to get a daily digest since that feature is available with YAHOO groups. I did a search and although there are a couple related groups like one for using Legacy with websites, there doesn't seem to be a Yahoo group devoted exclusively just to the Legacy Family Tree Software.

Re: [LegacyUG] Attaching Source Citation Images to Events
This issue has been brought up innumerable times. For reasons known only to them, Millenia refuse to use software that will block attachments and HTML.When they switched to a new server back some months ago, I had hopes that they would finally address this ongoing issue. Instead, they just leave it to the staff to gently reprimand anyone who violates the guidelines. Those reprimands are usually only after people complain about the violation. Then of course, there are those individuals who constantly (and intentionally) violate the guidlines and belittle anyone who complains about it. I honestly believe the folks at Millenia don't want to offend anyone, so they choose to ignore the risks associated with attachments and HTML email.

RE: [Bulk] RE: [LegacyUG] Same Sex Relationship Entries
Sherry, What about witnesses/roles. That has been requested countless times and that also keeps getting the age old response that it requires a re-write of the database. Why can't Millennia just be honest with their users and admit that they have no intention of implementing any of these requests. The competition have all long since completed re-writes of their databases to accommodate these requests. I'd rather hear the truth - Millennia/Legacy will never offer the ability to use Unicode, the ability to record witnesses/roles, the ability to properly record same sex unions, etc. The excuse that adding these functions would require a complete re-write is no longer believable.

RE: [LegacyUG] re: appending ?
Gene, I could not disagree with you more. No software company, be it Millenia, Microsoft, or any other company has any obligation to let the customers decide how the software should be developed. You, me, and all of the other folks who purchased Legacy purchased the software, not specific options in the software and not the rights to decide what should and should not be available in the software. We definitely can voice our opinions, but Millenia and any other software developer has no obligation to let the people decide where the developments/sales of the software heads. If you feel that is your right, then you need to purchase stock in the company - purchasing a copy of the software does not count. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gene Young Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2008 9:52 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] re: appending ? rant I think the basic problem is that people who are unhappy with a feature or do not understand it are way more likely to complain about it than the people who use and love it are likely to write and praise it. For every complainer there are usually a hundred who accept that that is the way it should be and have no reason to mention it, until it is taken away because of a handful of complainers. This phenomenon is not restricted to Millenia. The squeaky wheel gets the most grease syndrome is accepted business practice in too many companies. Before a company removes any feature that customers have paid for it would be a sensible thing to survey the customer base as a whole rather than rely on a handful of whiners who, as we have seen, will never be totally happy. This would apply to any business venture, not just Millenia. I hope that in the future Millenia will post the question on the list before removing any feature based on a few complaints. As I stated, people who are happy with a feature are usually the silent majority. /rant -- Gene Y. n2kvs Researching Young, Zies, Harer Cox with Legacy Family Tree http://h1.ripway.com/egptech/ 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] Legacy bugs
Michelle, Respectfully, that is such a cop-out that they were pressured to get it out. The only pressure to get it released was the bottom line. Are you aware that the Millenia folks has originally indicated that Legacy 7.0 would be released last fall. Then for whatever reason, it was delayed. Then they said that it would be released after they returned from their cruise in October. Then there were further delays. I really get fed up hearing the excuse over and over again that they were pressured to get it out. The folks from Millennia are big boys and girls. There were no bullies threatening to beat them up if they didn't realese their new program. I'm in total agreement that Legacy 7.0 was released way too soon, but don't put the blame on pressure from the users.

In the Burial Location I list the city (if there is one), County, State, country. In a Cemetery Event/Fact I list the Cemetery name, address and GPS location of the Cemetery in the Event address. If I think there may be a problem finding the cemetery I list the diving directions to the Cemetery. In the Cemetery Event/Fact notes for the person list the Actual GPS location of the grave or group of graves. Graves within a 20-30 foot area would have the same GPS location. This way the locations actually print on reports. It's all well and good that we can zoom around on Virtual Earth and log the GPS locations and addresses in Legacy but in my opinion the important thing is to be able to print this information on reports to pass on to family today and in the years to come. This is the reason I am purchased an accurate GPS not just for graves but old home sites, the community center where our family reunion was held for 50 years etc. IMHO GCO On Sat, Aug 2, 2008 at 10:08 AM, John Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In cemeteries with a simple rectangular format (such as an old church cemetery and most US military cemeteries), the row and plot numbers may be all you need.

Sherry, Jim, Would you please once again remind folks that there are a set of guidelines for folks to follow, and that just because a staff member from Legacy hasn't jumped in to say that a particular thread is off topic, doesn't make it any less so.

What you are asking for is a support forum with threaded subjects, something that many other companies with products and services have already set up. For example, there could be specific categories for sources, one for bug reports, one for installation problems, one for charting, etc. In addition, such forums tend to eliminate the users receiving copies of each and every message posted, including those messages to which the user has no interest. Many forums allow the user to specify something along the lines of notify me of all responses to this message which means they would receive an e-mail notification about the message subject to which they have expressed an interest. On the downside, what the user may miss is a new subject opened to which they may have a great interest but have no knowledge that it was ever posted. This requires the user to visit the forum web site to check for new subject matter being posted. Why Millenia has not gone this route is a mystery to many of us as it would eliminate the constantly repeating message of plain text only , etc. Maybe we ll see it sometime in the future.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 6 on Website??? But I have 7
Christina, Legacy still has the potential for being a great product, but you need to understand that some of us have lost respect for Millenia and do not put much faith in anything they say these days. Prior to the release of version 6, I (among others) asked if there were any plans to include a witness (participant) feature in Legacy 6.0. We were told that this would be included. When version 6 was released withhout a witness feature, we were told it turned out to be more complicated to implement than anticipated. Following the release of version 6, Ken McGinnis was asked seveal times about the ability to include witnesses in Legacy. Each time we were told that this was a very important enhancement in the eyes of Millenia and it would definitely be included at some point. It never did get included in version 6 and from the banter regarding the new features in version 7, it still doesn't sound like the ability to link multiple individuals (witnesses) has been implemented. In fact it has become apparent that when users ask about features that Millenia has no interest in implementing, we get that now famous mantra It will require a compete database re-write. Wholly Genes (Bob Velke/The Master Genealogist) did a complete database rewrite when they released version 6.0. TMG is now on version 7.02 Genbox (Bill Flight) has a complete database re-write when they released the current version 3.0. Genbox version 4.0 will be going to the beta testers in the near future.

Re: FW: [LegacyUG] Legacy 6 on Website??? But I have 7
Jay/GC The purpose of being able to add witnesses allows you to link multiple persons to an event at one time. Ex: You find an ancestor listed as head of household in the 1880 Census. You create an event for the Census. Your ancestor's role is Head of Household. With the witness feature, you can enter all of the other members of the household as witnesses to the event - You have created only one event for the Head of Household, but if you go to each of the other family members who have been entered as witnesses to the event, you will find that each one has an event for the Census. Bear in mind, the term witness is not used in the sense that you would normally think of a witness. It means that someone was associated with the event. There are other programs that have implemented the ability to record witnesses, and it is a very nice feature. Again, the best reason for having/using witnesses is to link multiple people to an event and not have to create a separate event for each person. 2008/5/28 Jay S. Van Zeeland [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ron, I'm sorry, but I don't understand your request for a Witness feature. Is this a space in sources that allows one to source data that we received from direct interviews of the ancestor? If not, could you please let me know what you mean.

Re: [LegacyUG] Younger Members LUG
I must have received a different email from momalot66. In the message I received, I read that she was trying to interest her Grandson in using Legacy, and she was wondering if there were any younger members on the list who were using Legacy. I surmised that she wanted to let her grandson know that it was not only older people who were interested in genealogy and/or using Legacy. I reread the email that I received, and I can't seem to find the statement where she indicated she wanted her grandson to be able to use the LUG as a chat room. I guess that is just a common assumption that a young person would only be interested in utilizing the list as a chat room Ron Bernier On Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:14:56 +, Jenny M Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: wrote Are there any younger members of LUG out there?

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Legacy: Family History or Genealogy?
Jenny, I definitely am not anti-Legacy. However, I am very discouraged by Legacy's lack of legitimate features. Both version 5 and version 6 were nothing more than additional bloat ware with no real features. The Geo-Database hasn't been updated since it was introduced in version 5, despite the fact that Legacy users have repeatedly pointed out errors in the Geo-Database. Version 6 introduced additional bloat ware with the introduction of the Research Guidance feature. Legacy thought they could emulate GenSmarts. They didn't even come close. So yes, I admit that I have been using different programs (shame on me), but I also continue to use Legacy because it does have great possibilities, and I keep hoping that eventually Ken Dave will offer a program that really is a contender for the number one Genealogy/Family History software. My opinion, they have a long ways to go. Despite the many protestations of those with blinders on, Legacy is not the best program available, but it does have the potential to be so. -- Regards, Ron Bernier Jenny M Benson wrote: Ron Bernier wrote Unfortunately the it would require a complete program rewrite has become the standard mantra for the Millennia folks.

Re: [LegacyUG] For the attn Legacy Support - re HTML
Jenny, I totally agree with you. There are two categories of individuals who send messages to the list in HTML. In the first group (the minority) are those who are new to the list and are unaware that HTML messages are not allowed. In the second group are the repeat offenders who know that HTML messages are not allowed, but have the attitude that no one is going to tell them how they can send messages to the list. These are the folks that feel that it is not their responsibility to ensure that they do not send out an infected message, but rather it is the receiver's responsibility to ensure that their anti virus software catches any incoming infected messages. In my opinion, the repeat offender(s) should receive one off list reminder from support. If the repeat offender(s) continues to thumb his/her nose at Millenia and the list subscribers, then he/she should should be removed from the list without any further warning. I have stated before, I am grateful that Millenia has provided this user list, but I also feel that they have done a great disservice to their subscribers by moving to a server and software that does not offer the ability to block HTML messages and/or messages that contain attachments. -- Regards, Ron Bernier On 7/11/07, Jenny M Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I for one welcome that you require that LUG posters use HTML and deplore the fact that so many people either ignore your requests or don't bother to check out your requirements in the first place.

The file reads fine on Google, if slowly, but downloaded as a .pdf brought a warning from Acrobat 5 of a loading problem (9). When viewed, many pages were blank. NitroPDF reported no problem and all data was present, but some pages were apparently scanned in color, others either scanned to single bit (i.e. black and white text) or rendered that way by NitroPDF. Disturbing, a click on the install icon of the downloaded NitroPDF Professional free trial brought an immediate attempt to communicate to the Internet. That was trapped by my firewall (Comodo), and I denied access, after which the install wizard started. Install was rather slow and seemed to do a lot with the Registry. When it finished, my default browser (previously shut down) was invoked with connection to a NitroPDF web page. My Firewall should have trapped and reported that - but did not. After rebooting the following morning, I attempted to view a .pdf file by clicking it and Acrobat 5 was invoked but with the warning that .pdf files could not be viewed from within my browser (Firefox 2) because of a configuration problem, with an offer to correct it, which I permitted. My impression is that NitroPDF is a product of some really sharp programming and likely unusually capable as a reader. The features don't seem to offer direct solutions to the problems recently discussed with Legacy exports, but the editing tools available plus the ability to export to Microsoft Word format (and presumably re-import) might aggregate to what's wanted. That said, NitroPDF isn't software I want on my computer.

I really think Legacy needs to put a new subscription method in place. After you initially subscribe, you receive a message describing the purpose of the list.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Creating a Legacy CD
Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2007 22:18:09 -0700
I am using Roxio to burn my CDs.
To burn my Legacy family file and pictures I have followed these
instructions for doing this.
Here is what I have done:
1. I created a folder in Legacy called: Legacy CD.
2. In this folder I have added these two folders:
a. FamilyData that includes my .fdb family file (unzipped.)
b. FamilyPictures that includes my multimedia files (unzipped.)
3. I also included a file that contains Legacy6Setup that I renamed
LegacySetup.
When I rest the cursor on my Legacy CD folder is lists the contents as:
1a. Folders: FamilyData, FamilyPictures
1b. Files: LegacySetup.exe
It is my understanding that when I burn my disc (I'm using Roxio) and
mail
it the person receiving the disc would load it into their CD slot, go to
My
Computer, find their CD drive and select it.
Am I correct in assuming that when they do this and click on
LegacySetup.exe it will take them
to legacyfamiilytree.com/DownloadStep3.asp where they can click on the
button that says Click Here to Download Full Setup?

When I run the disc on my CPU it 'skips' the folders (as enumerated) and

this
it takes me right to the Legacy purple popup window and right to my

[LegacyUG] Creating an everyone report
Is there any report that I can create that will pick up everyone in the family line. I tried creating an ancestor report, but that omits the children of the children. I.E. If I print the ancestors of my father, the report lists my brother, sister and I, and the spouses of my brother and sister. But, their children are not included. If I create a descendant report, I get the children's children, but the report is too hard to follow because your reading backwards. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] I've married my wife--twice!
Dennis, The Legacy User Group User Guidelines clearly state that attachments are not to be sent to the group. Please review the guidelines for future reference. A link to the guidelines is included at the end of every posting. Ron Bernier Richard, thanks for the reply. I undid the merge and supposedly restored my file to the status prior to the merge. The marriage/spouse dups are still there. Therefore, the dup issue must have been created upon the importing of my wife's file into mine, which results in duplication of everyone in the file. But I would think that then merging and searching for duplicates should undo any duplicate marriage links created by the import. I don't see any options or settings that relate to duplicate marriages during merging. I have attached a screen shot of the first manual merge person (out of 314) that comes up when I use IntelliShare. These 314 were found by the program to have differences between my file and my wife's file. You can see that the left side of the screen shows duplicate spouses (my file) and the right side shows the correct single spouse (my wife's file). The reason this person requires manual merging is because I made some corrections to the Birth and Residence location fields--the differences between the two files has nothing to do with duplicate spouses. Since I did my cleanup from the gedcom transfer in MY file, it has the most correct information regarding place and event names. So I want to be sure to keep those when I merge. However, I don't want to keep the duplicate spouses that are showing on the left (my file) side of the screen. What do I need to do to throw out the duplicate spouses created by the import of my wife's Legacy file, but at the same time keep my file maintenance changes? And why isn't this done automatically? I'm still not sure if there is something I am doing wrong or if this is a problem with the IntelliShare feature. Thank you! Dennis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

So now I have 12gigs to use - so far 5.5 filled. Okay...now for my question...In the picture gallery, every picture has a number above it. I noticed that some photo numbers are in black and some in red. I'm just wondering what the difference is. At first I thought it was because they were different formats...nope - some png's are red and some black. All my pictures are in the same folder - so it isn't differentiating pictures pulled from different locations. I've also ruled out it having anything to do with the file ID field being used/or not used - or any of the other fields (caption, date, description) used/or not used. Just curious...anyone have any ideas? I've checked the help file and couldn't find anything. Same with the Legacy UG message archive. Attached is an image of what I'm talking about.

The Kennel Clubs and associated canine (and feline and horse-racing) breeders must keep meticulous breeding records for their shows, prizes, racing forms, etc. Real money involved. While I suppose Legacy could be easily adapted to non-human relationships, I wonder ... does anyone know what the professional dog/cat/horse industries use to track their genealogies? If they have not already established a standard, perhaps the marketers of Legacy could adapt a version specifically for those markets. A few adaptations to include association registrations, microchip implantation data, competition awards, ownership, etc. and Zoom - a huge potential.

Re: [LegacyUG] Genealogy Etiquette
Tell him that you would hate to have to report him to the authorities, but there are laws against harassment and that his refusal to take no for an answer is getting very close to constituting harassment. Regards, Ron Bernier This is somewhat off topic, but someone I met when I put a Legacy Tree on Ancestry has been bugging the living fool out of me. I am a genealogist for a historical society and as part of our outreach I set up Legacy family files on local families and put it online for researchers. This one man has contacted me about information I have gotten from a 90 year old resident. He has already contacted the person, but when the man stopped short of telling everything he wanted to know about an ancestor, this man has been bugging both me and the informant with numerous letters and phone calls to give him more intimate details than both my informant and I feel he needs to know. He sent my society a $200 check (with the note-to pay the bar tab-so you know this guy's elevator is stuck in the basement)which we are holding, just in case we need to send it back. I have tried being diplomatic, have written him several times trying to get him off our backs, but he is like an old mule...I think I need a #10 iron skillet to get his attention! If my last letter (including a sentence that says 'your informant thinks the information is none of your business') doesn't work, what do you do? Has anyone in the group had the same problem?

Unfortunately, nobody is saying when that next update is going to be. It seems like this issue is much more important to the users that are affected than it is to the programmers. It was made to sound like this problem would be handled as a top priority, but that certainly has not happened. Regards, Ron Bernier Sherry, This is not a problem that just all of a sudden appeared over the Thanksgiving Holiday. The programmers introduced this bug with their update in August. People were assured that the problem would be taken care of fairly quick because it was causing problems for a lot of people. We've been repeatedly told that the problem was fixed for the next update. The Legacy users/customers should not have had to wait this long to fix a bug that was created by the programmers and caused a problem where there was previously no problem. Unfortunately, I think Legacy's attention to customer service is beginning to go down hill.

[LegacyUG] Please Stop Sending HTML messages to the List
Sherry, Is there absolutely no way at all for the Legacy usergroup software/server to block HTML messages. The amount of HTML messages to the list are getting ridiculous. I don't know which is worse, the font that is so small one needs a magnifying glass to read it, or the the messages that people feel compelled to use a either a colored font or a huge bold font. I beleive you could send out 20 requests a day asking people to refrain from using HTML and they are just not going to comply, whether by choice or lack of knowledge. If HTML messages were blocked like they are on rootsweb's mailing lists, then folks would be forced to either send a plain text message or they would not be able to participate on the list.

RE: [LegacyUG] Please Stop Sending HTML messages to the List
Nicholas, First, there is no need for anyone to feel like they should not send to the list. That was never the intent of my post. Second, there is nothing wrong with the message that you have sent to the list. What I have a problem with is the really small font that some folks use. Worse, is the messages that use a colored font. I can accept the fact that some people may not be aware of the fact that they are sending a message in HTML (it is possible that rootsweb strips the html code), but I can not accept that a person can send a message to the list and not know they are using a colored font. It's my opinion that anyone who sends a message using a colored font (even for private email) is very rude.

Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Shots
Along the upper right row of keys on your keyboard is a button that says Print Scr (or something similar)Hitting this key will take a snapshot of your screen. Open MS Excel (or the Word Perfect or Open Office equivalent) You should see an icon that looks like a clipboard - click on this to paste your snapshot. If using MS Excel, click on file- page setup. On the very first tab (Page) choose landscape and fit to 1 page(s) wide by 1 tall. Click the print button. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering source details
Instead of saying the program should guide you on how you should enter your information,(I prefer to make my own decisions), why not discover on your on own what works best for you. Then, take screenshots of what you have done. You can save your screenshots and you will have created your own guide of what works best for you. Best of all, you don't have to remember how you entered an event/source. You can refer to your own personal guide at any time.

I strongly recommend them to all because they reveal all sorts of capabilities one would not otherwise know about. (As Nick says, the sources video is not comprehensive enough). However, I do think that, as I've already written, there has to be more direction - within the program itself - that guides the user in entering sources. One can always put data wherever one wishes, but that will mess up both reports and gedcoms that may be unusable to others using other programs. There needs to be a standardized way of entering data that follows genealogical best practices. The 'one size fits all' source system that essentially leaves it to the user to fit the sources wherever he can or wishes is less than ideal. Which is a shame because this is an excellent program otherwise. Maybe we need to wait for version 7? On the other hand since Legacy is based on MS Access, maybe it is just too complicated to create multiple source types within Access tables, which may be is why only one set of fields were chosen. I do not know. I am almost ready to reluctantly give up on Legacy. Jeff - Original Message - From: Nicholas Cirillo To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 7:17 PM Subject: 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: FW: [LegacyUG] free edition of Passenger Express
Hello Mark, Snip The other problem we have with removal of all of the Passage Express folder when you are removing the software, is that we would probably be hung or shot if we did so by many users who sometimes like to uninstall and reload for whatever reason and may forget to make a backup copy of the work they spent many hours on. Although, it sounds like a good idea that we document this fact plainly. What type of document do you have? (File type, like PDF etc.) Thanks, Jon Jon, Why could you not add a step whereby either the user is given a choice whether or not to delete all folders associated with Passage Express or at the very least an option to backup all folders befroe a complete and proper uninstall is performed. -- Ron Bernier Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
