I didn't know about either of these features. Thanks - I'll be using them from now on. Ruth A.

Family View: If the *highlighted* individual has siblings, it is easy to rotate through the brothers/sisters by merely left-clicking on the adjacent thin *vertical* space in the *middle* of the Family View. #2. Family View: If the *highlighted* individual has more than one spouse, it is easy to rotate through the husbands/wives by merely left-clicking on the adjacent thin space in the *left/right* margins of the Family View. #1 and #2 above allow one to quickly go through family members who are in the same census, for example, and add the Census Event to each of them using the Clipboard. (I use a census, please *no* hisses or boos, as an event and thus can quickly add the Census Event, via the Clipboard, to all siblings who are in the same census.)

My personal favorite is the Source Clipboard, and anyone who isn't using it should drop everything and read Legacy's Help Index Clipboard Source. Would others like to mention their favorite feature or shortcut?

Re: [LegacyUG] Off Topic - Life After Posting to Ancestry.com
Tom, I don't want to start a war here, but does it matter to you if an LDS member takes your uploaded family tree and by proxy baptizes them as Mormon's? I know this happens because I toured an LDS temple before it was dedicated and the LDS official that led our tour showed us how it was done. I'm still on the fence about this - my Italian Catholic's now Italian Mormon's? I'm not sure how I feel about that. By the way, the temple was beautiful; I'm so glad I was able to see it. Ruth A.

What options are there? 1. Give them a printed report of the family history. Effective but instantly gives them the data as of that day only for one part of the family. 2. Give them a CD-ROM with our latest data. - Only effective for 2-3 years and only if they have the genealogy software to upload it to. 3. Use Ancestry? Yes - I have subscribed since the beginning. But - I don't expect my relatives to pay $155/year (or more) to keep up with it. Yes - I want my data open to everyone. That is - all of my data from 1900 and back. 4. I have been trying out the new FamilySearch - the linked family trees there are fantastic and best part - it is all free. So - the kids, grandkids - cousins that have zero interest now in genealogy - can find my data - decades from now - with the latest info as current as the last time I updated a record. I can put in every citation and everyone can see it anytime. What they can't see are the living relatives AND I never enter anyone from 1900 to the present. The terrific feature is that this site will sync with Legacy (coming soon) etc. So - I can keep a copy of the family tree from 1900 to the present on my laptop using Legacy it will automatically sync up with the family tree on FamilySearch.org from 1899 and back. I now only update the older records on new FamilySearch and update the recent family data on Legacy. I almost died last year - so I see this as my permanent method of keeping and passing on my family tree information. I understand that this newest FamilySearch feature will be released in early 2010. When I started researching in 1965 - the local genealogical society encouraged everyone to preserve their family tree data on typed charts. They long ago stopped doing that. I see FamilySearch as THE modern solution for preserving my data - putting it where relatives can find it. I have well over 80k names now and need a realistic way to back it all up and pass it on. For me - this combination of Legacy and the new FamilySearch.org is it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.0.0.103 crashing
I'm using the most current version of Legacy Deluxe with Windows XP.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendent Report bug
This is what prints: Aaron David Johnson (Rebekah Yvonne Testa 8, Salvatore Francesco 7, Giuseppe Sconza Testa 6, Teresa De Grazia 5, Carmine 4, Maria Teresa Falsetti 3, Carlo 2, Giuseppe 1). This is exactly correct. Aaron's mother's surname is Testa, Rebekah's dad's surname is also Testa, his dad's surname is a double surname Sconza Testa, his mother's surname is De Grazia as is her father Carmine's surname, his mother's surname is Falsetti, her dad and grandfather was also Falsetti. Surnames should not be repeated when they are the same, only when the surname changes. Then the report prints Rosaria Testini (Salvatore 4, Giovanni 3, Vito 2, Giuseppe 1) Rosaria's surname is Testini, her father Salvatore's surname is Sconza Testa as are his ancestor's surnames. Then I get Shirley Testa (Joseph Alfred Testa 5, Giuseppa De Grazia 4, Carmine 3, Pasquale Maria 2, Nicola 1) Shirley Testa is fine, but in some chapters Joseph Alfred is Joseph Alfred Testa and in other chapters it's Joseph Alfred.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendent Report bug
Yes, see my e-mail sent earlier with detail. This is what prints: Aaron David Johnson (Rebekah Yvonne Testa 8, Salvatore Francesco 7, Giuseppe Sconza Testa 6, Teresa De Grazia 5, Carmine 4, Maria Teresa Falsetti 3, Carlo 2, Giuseppe 1). This is exactly correct. Aaron's mother's surname is Testa, Rebekah's dad's surname is also Testa, his dad's surname is a double surname Sconza Testa, his mother's surname is De Grazia as is her father Carmine's surname, his mother's surname is Falsetti, her dad and grandfather was also Falsetti. Surnames should not be repeated when they are the same, only when the surname changes. Then the report prints Rosaria Testini (Salvatore 4, Giovanni 3, Vito 2, Giuseppe 1) Rosaria's surname is Testini, her father Salvatore's surname is Sconza Testa as are his ancestor's surnames. Then I get Shirley Testa (Joseph Alfred Testa 5, Giuseppa De Grazia 4, Carmine 3, Pasquale Maria 2, Nicola 1) Shirley Testa is fine, but in some chapters Joseph Alfred is Joseph Alfred Testa and in other chapters it's Joseph Alfred. Joseph Alfred is what is correct. It should not print the surname if it is the same as the preceding person.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: TESTINI
Yes, I'm pretty good at reading the Italian records. These happen to be in Italian. Since Rosaria was a foundling, the mayor gave her a name similar to the surname of the family she was being given to - Sconza Testa, a double surname, somewhat unusual in Italy. All other children in this family including my father are Sconza Testa's, but this one adopted child's records all continue to say Testini, even to her death record, and all indicate parents unknown. Ruth - Original Message - From: michael barberi To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 2:44 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Re: TESTINI I don't know precisely the record you are referring to about the name Rosaria Testini. I am new to this forum. I may be drifting far from your question and presuming too much or to little about your research. Nevertheless, I offer these few thoughts to be helpful. As you probably know, Italian Church Baptism Records are written in Latin and use all kinds of abbreviations. Civil records are written in a dialect Italian. If you see the words Rosaria Testini, Salvatore, Giovanni, it most likely means, Rosaria Testini, daughter of Salvatore (son of Giovanni). Since these records are hand-written, noting the tense of the Latin and the small words fu and di are also very important. The Latin tense and these other words change the meaning of what you are reading. You probably are aware the the word fu means of the late and di means of as in of the late Giovanni or of Giovanni. Thus these words tell you if the father, mother, grandparents, etc, were deceased at the time of the record in question. The surname TESTINI and TESTA are very similar. Sometimes you will find a surname like TESTINA or TESTINO. If so, they are the singular form of the family name TESTINI. It could be possible that the surname was changed to TESTA, or the surname was spelled that way in one or two records only. You would need to trace your family's surname back in time to determine the real surname and its spelling. Adopted children sometimes use an Alias. In a late 1500s, I found the use of two surnames by the father of a family. Some of his children were baptised with the alias surname and some with the other surname. I continue to research the use of two surnames, apart from logical explanations. Hope this was helpful. Mike Barberi In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus autem caritas.

The ability to sort/search the index by birth date as well as alphabetically or by RIN. This is one feature of FTM I really miss. I often found people who were the same, but had their names spelled slightly different. Comparing individuals by birth date rather than name will sometimes reveal the existence of an un-connected individual with a different name or name change. I have had several instances where I have been able to connect individuals to families by comparing birth dates. Have you not looked at the ability to Customize the columns that are displayed in the Index View? Once you get dates to be displayed, you can sort on those columns.

Re: [LegacyUG] Version 7.0.0.97
I am using the English language version of Legacy and the latest build. The
AKA's and names I have in parenthesis meaning that's their commonly known
name are in my Name Index and in the Name Index in Publishing Center in
preview and .pdf but when I create a Word document those names do not
appear. Seems odd they would appear in another software program although I
don't know what OpenOffice.org is compared to Word.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship
Jenny, to answer your comment you don't know why I need a Relationship Event, the reason is when I create a report, such as a Descendent Report, and there are many persons in the book, it is nice to show how I or anyone I'm creating the report for is related to each person, be they grandparents, great uncles, cousins, etc. Just to show names and not how they are related to the person the Report is created for doesn't mean anything, at least not to me.

I don't know *why* you feel the need to have a Relationship Event, but obviously you do and of course you are quite free to do so and if you are doing so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have two Relationship Events, one for Aunt (by adoption) and one for 1st Cousin once removed (by marriage). Or, have one Relationship Event which specifies both relationships. I can't see any need to unlink this person from your father's family and I can't see any point in doing so. She *is* related to you, albeit both by adoption and by marriage. Granted there can be no *blood* relationship between you, but it would be misrepresenting your family's Family History (as distinct from their Genealogy) if you do not show her relationship to your father. -- Jenny M Benson 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 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 to identify the commonly used first name?
The Alternate Names are included in the report. What's missing is the coding which makes it appear in the Index. The sentence that reads Another Name for XX is XX is the last line of text for a person so it kind of gets lost if the reader doesn't read every word, but if they are looking for a specific nickname or Alternate Name in the Index, it won't be there. I have gone through the 3,000 page Descendant's Book Report in Word and added code for all Alternate Names so they'd appear in the index, but that took a lot of time. It would be much easier if it were part of the Legacy program itself. Ruth - Original Message - From: John S.

That's what I meant - is there an upgrade to the current version of 7.0.0.55.

I'll stay with ver 6 until ver. 7 works as good as or better than Ver 6. Apparently there isn't, because I just checked the Home Page and 7.0.0.55 is the current version.

Re: [LegacyUG] I now have done the RTF the right way and
You can print directly from Legacy provided everything in the book is just as you want it. There is a place where the Events print that I separate with a blank line - I separate all other events from the events I have labeled Relationship to (the person I'm preparing the book for) so s/he can see the relationship to the ancestor. It stands out better that way. This cousin is related to almost everyone in her line both through her father and mother - I have Relationship (maternal) and Relationship (paternal) to this cousin as events. Since this first book is for her paternal side, I'd like the Relationship paternal indicator to be first and under it Relationship maternal but since the Events are sorted alphabetically, maternal comes first so I move the maternal Relationship indicator down below the paternal Relationship indicator. Also sometimes I delete some events depending on the size of the book and/or who it's going to - so the book exactly from Legacy doesn't fit my needs. This may all seem unnecessary to you, but I am have only one chance to do this book and I want it to look good and last for a couple more generations to have. Please don't judge me as being too fussy. And it still doesn't excuse the fact that there IS the ability of the program to send the document as an .rtf and that feature isn't working right now.

Re: [LegacyUG] I now have done the RTF the right way and
I don't know if a 3000 page and 4000 page .pdf will go through my email. And then she has to print it anyway herself in order to share. And she's coming to visit, I've never met her in person. Won't it be fun for me to hand her these 2 printed books in a 3-ring binder to take back to her brothers and daughters? Luckily she's driving from Canada. But you're right, pdf is fine to send IF everything is perfect.

Re: [LegacyUG] I now have done the RTF the right way and
And to piggy-back on Marie's thoughts - My sentences read something like this: Ruth was born in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota and was baptized in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, married in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota and died in St. Paul, Ramsey County,Minnesota and was buried in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. I use the full named place the first time and search and replace the remaining full references to the place to just say St. Paul. Flows easier, less pages. So you can see why I like .rtf format.

Re: [LegacyUG] I now have done the RTF the right way and
Oh yes - and don't let's forget the bug that says Ruth married someone when it should read Ruth married. So I have no chance to fix that. And I have yet to figure out how to get that same statement out of the report when the woman did not marry anyone but yet has a child. All in all pdf won't work either.

Re: [LegacyUG] probably not genealogy any more

Personally, if I was on the receiving end, I would hand it back. If I were going to share data with someone, I would find out what they were looking for and generate the necessary report(s). However, if I thought that they were interested in all my work, I would create web pages and burn them to a CD. I would probably include a GEDCOM and/or a backup of my database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - INDEX problem with Alternate names....
But what good is a .pdf. I'd have to have an absolutely perfect family datafile to do a .pdf. I always need to tweak the .rtf document a little before sending it out, so a .pdf is not good for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Index
And that's probably where the coding is for the Alternate Names for the Name Index in the Descendent book report. I downloaded a new Ver 7 but I don't think it worked because all my settings are the same. I ran a new report and I still don't have a Descendent.usr file. Maybe I need to uninstall my old Version 7.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - INDEX problem with Alternate names....
Jessica, You've got it correctly. And there is more than one bug when the descendent book report transfers from Legacy to a Word .rtf file. And when I use the Publishing Center, there are even more problems. At the moment I have 17 separate chapters which I hope to compile into one book and I'm going through them all line by line eliminating the errors, adding code so Alternate Names print in the Name Index, and so forth. The .rtf export route is a bust, as you say. Ruth - Original Message - From: Jessica Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - INDEX problem with Alternate names It appears to me that the problem is pointedly with the output method you are using. I've read all your posts, and while I haven't replicated it or tried it (lack of time) the one key factor I see throughout all your posts is that it is an issue in the RTF file. As there are other issues with the RTF file exporting, I would lean towards the RTF export routine built into Legacy 7.0 as being a bust, and therefore a bug. To be clear: Descendant Report EXPORT to RTF is NOT showing alternate names Fix tried has included deleting the Descendant.usr file to no avail. Your alternate names ARE showing up in the program interface itself, as well as the PREVIEW of the DESCENDANT report on screen. However, when you activate transferring to RTF, they do NOT show up. Am I correct? (The all caps are for emphasis purposes for clarity only.)

Re: [LegacyUG] How many visible tags?
I'm here - plugging away correcting my Word document. I save the .rtf as a .doc because I think it opens faster. I hope that's not one of my problems. I've looked at the .rtf and it doesn't look any different than the .doc, but the .doc opens faster. One thing I feel bad about is I'm having to delete some source numbers that don't correspond to any source citations. I know I'm losing some good source information. But I'm on Chapter 6 of 17 of the first (paternal) book so it's coming. I think there's 20 chapters in the second (maternal side) book.

We've been told there was no bug, that it was our settings, that we should download again, delete this and tick that. The last update fixed only a tiny part of the issue--it was even worse before. The rtf business makes the software virtually useless for some of us and brings our research to a complete halt, but we weren't able to go back to v.6 when the core problem was discovered.

One thing I noticed is that whether I told it to save as an rtf or if I told it to save as a text file or if I told it save it as a pdf it saved the file with an extension of rf1. I don't get that. It should be rtf or txt or pdf. I would think that is part of the problem. It doesn't give me the option to change the file extension. Very interesting indeed.

Ron - Yes I did say which report - Descendent Book Report - see my first e-mail belowl.

I have Domenica on the Family screen and Margaret as the Alternate Name - Alternate Name doesn't show up in the Index. And the program suggests in a drop down box not to use an AKA but rather use an Alternate Name. At least the AKA shows up in the index. Boyd - I did look in the Help files. I'm not going to just blindly ask for help without checking Help myself - I chose 4 that I thought might be the right ones because none of them actually said AlternateNames.usr so I chose some that might be the alternate name user files and messed up my report so badly it definitely wasn't what I wanted and I still didn't have the Alternate Names in the Index. I am having to put them in manually - do you know how long that's going to take? hours and hours! Italian names quite often get changed once the person gets to this country.

Re: [LegacyUG] Index - Ron, Richard, Boyd
To be sure we both are on the same page - I have entered an Alternate Name on my Family View. I am creating a Descendant Book Report. I check the box Index Options and click to open it. I click Include a Name Index I click Include Alternate Names I create the book in .rtf format It opens in Word. Hmmm - It says Domenica De Marco - another name for Domenica is Margaret De Marco. I go to Name Index at end of report and Insert the index It says De Marco Domenica No Margaret -- What am I missing that you do to get the name in your book index?

Mine all show up! It is the first choice under OPTIONS when looking at the NAME INDEX. Hope that helps!

It says Alternate Name in both places. If it is Alternate Married Name - that's what it should say. There also is a place to check Include married names for wives which I would think would refer to Alternate Married Name. Ruth - Original Message - From: ronald ferguson To: Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 10:02 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Index Ruth, I suspect that there is a confusion here in that that are two Alternative Names: The Alternative Married Name and the Alternative Name. The Index option in report printing refers to the Alternative Married Name. Ron Ferguson _ *New* Insert Pictures Into your Web Pages
Re: [LegacyUG] Index - Ron, Richard, Boyd
Ron - with due respect - I referred to Descendent Book Report in my original e-mail - bottom of this e-mail and YOU also referred to Descendent Book Report in one of your e-mails to me - also below - so it was not left out. I would be so appreciative if you could tell me which .usr file to delete - you say delete appropriate .usr file - but I honestly, honestly, don't know which one to delete. I'm so glad you got the Alternate Name in your DESCENDENT REPORT index, but I am just not getting it. Please tell me which .usr file to delete. I am so desperate to get this report done. And yes - I am shouting - I am so very frustrated.

The Descendant.usr file would be the appropriate one, but having seen your reply to Richard I am afraid that I am very uncertain as to what you are doing. The AKAs which I understood you to mean are those contained in the AKA screen accessed by clicking the three heads icon in Family View. Are you meaning you have created an Alternate Name Event? Or are you using the technique of including the alternate name in quotes in the Name field? Or something else? I'm sorry but I just do not understand exactly what you are saying.
