Re: [LegacyUG] Sources in Family Tree
Ahh, here comes my two cents and a question. I use LDS data knowing full well that it is the result of many inputs from many persons. I also use www.donnorman.com family files the same way, knowing it too comes from many sources and I am hoping to learn the best way to enter these two iffy sources. I say iffy but they both have given me some very good information and leads. Does any one know if there is a way to correctly state these two sources so that any reader other than myself knows that I consider it to be IFFY? Maybe a quote from EVIDENCE?? What a glorious world God Almighty has given us. How thankless and ungrateful we are, and how we labor to mar His gifts. ~ Gen. Robert E. Lee, CSA Sandra Tyler Duncan - Original Message - From: Pat H To: LegacyUserGroup Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 5:47 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Sources in Family Tree In using Research Guidance, I am immediately taking to Family Tree, which I think is and LDS site. It gives me some data but not the source of the data! It does give me the names snail-mail addresses of the people who submitted the info but not the date of the submission or the sources of their information. Everyone knows that the validity of the source is of highest importance in establishing the validity of the data so I don't understand why a website related to the LDS doesn't show the sources of the info -- since the LDS is so-o-o involved in genealogy and has done so much work in preserving copies of original records.

Re: [LegacyUG] ? Living Relatives
Yes Phil but I personally believe that LEGACY is the best genealogy program around for removing data on living persons, my first time to post my data gave me a real shock when I saw my children and grandchildren's names and dates. With LEGACY that no longer happens [[Whew]] Sandra Tyler Duncan - Original Message - From: Phil Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 4:10 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] ? Living Relatives Slightly OT but is being discuuused regulary regarding Legacy files I am at loss to understand what all the secrecy is about regarding living relatives! I have no problem with the concept of removing data that is personal (Addresses, phone numbers etc), or data that could be embarrassing (such as Mary Smith has an illigitimate son to Fred Blaggs. Jack Smith served 6 months for car theft etc) But that Mary Smith is the daughter of John and Jane Smith in Dullesville is a fact known to everyone in the family and everyone in the town at least. Why the need for secrecy? If the personal details of Mary, John and Jane who are living are removed, then why would they scream if 2nd cousin Peter puts the fact thet they are his family online? What s being revealed that is not already public access? And that any private investigator worth his salt could find out without getting out of his chair -but why would he want to? Any of us who has been involved in Genealogy/Family History for a short time knows that one of the first things you find out is the 'skeletons in the closest' Who was illigitimate, who had an affair, who went to prison etc etc etc Yet those who decide to publish their lines on line have no qualms about releasing this information . In fact, there seems to be a thrill in passing it on. Here in Australia it is a sign of 'pedigree' if you can prove you are descended from the original convicts - no matter what their crime was. In USA in seems that a large number of the people with the surname of Dalton are determined to add the Dalton gang in their tree. If we are happy to publish these details regarding our dead ancestors (and maybe embarrass and upset the living ones by doing so) then what is the problem with declaring that my cousin is Mary Smith? An ancestor couple of mine were extremely 'puritannical' in their approach and their manner of life, the word 'sex' was not even allowed to be mentioned and if anyone in the area fell pregnant outside of wedlock then she became the butt of their condemnation. Yet when I researched the family I found that they got married five years after the birth of their youngest (of 7). And their was no legal hinderance to them doing so. If my mother (who is now deceased) had ever been confronted with that information she would have gone into complete denial - it would have been too hard for her to accept. Yet such material we are prepared to publish. But not the name of a living relative I cannot understand why!! Phil Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

For people whose actual place of birth or death is known, leave out the Of. But if you take it out for across the board, it degrades the accuracy of the data. There have been discussions before on trying to change the preposition in the location list. There doesn't seem to be a good way to do it.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification
This is probably not what you think that you want but here goes anyway. I once had a pile of pictures to scan into my computer and I actually thought that I would never get it done but I just started with the first picture and went at it one by one and in what seemed like 4 short months I was done. I might add that in October 198 I had a massive stroke that pretty much paralyzed most of my left side. I never hardly ever give up on things. Then shortly after I had issues with LEGACY and my computer at least 3 crash times and the locations were in such a mess that I decided to go through them one by one until all were EXACTLY as I wanted each and every one. I knew that if I wanted it a certain way, I would have to do it one by one until it got done it took me six months besides the other non computer stuff that filled my time, but I now have the perfect location list [[FOR ME]] and I could not be happier, my motto is whatever it takes.

[LegacyUG] Tracking non-relatives
This is very interesting, because I have many non-relatives in my data, all marked private. They are entered like: John X-Qpublic married Jane X-Doe.I even have my dogs this way: Cocoa X-Duncan. The X helps me find the record and since they are all marked private, they do not appear when I submit my data and to make sure all do not show on the submitted stuff, I just go check for surnames beginning with an X. A recent search gave me parents and siblings of an old acquaintance, no vital to my search for blood relatives but a way to rest from my INTENSE search and I still get a thrill when I hit pay-dirt, blood related or not. In my habit of doing this, I have found LEGACY has helped me to keep data on lives other than that of my real blood relatives, better than any othere program that I have ever had, ever!!! My other prefix is for the 19 caregivers that we have had since a massive stroke slowed me down a bit in 1998, they are listed thus: CG-Orphan Annie [CG # 6] this aids me in keeping track of them for future reference [CG stands for Caregiver] Hope this helps some one. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GETdb=purplevw1id=I65255 The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.

Now I've worked out what happened, I'll share the details in case it helps someone else... I switched to using Mozilla Thunderbird for my emails a month or so back. One of the first settings I set up was to make all emails to Rootsweb and Legacy in plain text. So far, so good - that worked a charm. BUT, along the way, I got tired of the program asking me frequently if I wanted to send in plain text or HTML for addresses where I hadn't set their preference, so I went in and found the particular setting governing this behaviour - under Tools / Options / Composition / General, then click on the Send Options button, and in the first setting choose the behaviour for When sending messages in HTML format and one or more recipients are not listed as being able to receive HTML I chose send the message in both plain text and HTML. Once I'd set that, things changed and I suddenly found that my next post went to the LUG in HTML. Oops! Sorry! This setting over-rode the one I'd made in the first instance, that stated legacyusergroup.com was only to be sent plain text (which happens to be on the same screen as the one I described above). What I've done to remedy this is to go into my Address Book and set for the LUG address that it is only to be sent plain text, and now I'm back to not having to remember to set plain text for my posts, and I'm not bugged by messages for recipients who aren't in my Address Book, or I haven't said which form they're to get. Should have done that in the first place, but didn't know what was to come. ;-) If you're using Outlook Express, there is a setting there, in the Address Book, if I remember correctly, where you can determine that all emails sent to that particular address will be in plain text.

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.

The subscription are rather pricey.

[LegacyUG] problem solved by TASK ARRAIGNER
For many months I griped about how legacy turned on yuckyevery morning when I did hibernation wrong. Nothing could be done, viewing, adding or altering in any way, so I used to shut entire computer down and do a restart. Then I found Task Arraigner and when it come out of hibernation each day, the first thing that I do is to shut down LEGACY then start it up again, editing problem is solved but then on the bottom task bar, LEGACYis not the first in line, somehow, I found task arraigner, Just tried to find it to share with you but was not able toGoogle it, sorry, but when I first complained about this months ago, Another lister said that they had the same trouble, LEGACY OK when closed into hibernation but when opening no actions can be performed. So, instead of restarting computer, I just close and reopen LEGACY,which puts it far to the right of thestart button and TASK ARRAIGNER can move it to be 'just' to the right of the start button which is my preference. Please mail me privately if you find theplace to download the program.

La Nell To: Legacyug Subject: [LegacyUG] icons Hi All, Since updating to Legacy 6 Deluxe, and current update 109, I find that the male and female icons on the family view are switched. The men have long hair - the women short hair. Not a big deal, but it does look a bit strange, especially to people I send my information to. Is there anyway of changing this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures
Recently, my sister sent me ove 200 negatives from our growing up years 1940 to 1950. I scanned them into my computre in .tif mode to securly save them but when I tried to share the scans with family members in .jpg mode the ones in color turn to black and white. And just now when I tried to save a picture already on my computer to LEGACY, it too saved to Legacy in Black and white. Has anyone else had thids happen to them?

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures
Sorry, sorry, not enough information, most of the negatives are black and white and I am still teaching myself the best way to scan them in, but ah ha most all of then have been scanned in by now. But there were some of the old color ones included and those are the ones I was having trouble with. However today I wanted to add some pictures previously scanned in to my LEGACY files and that is the second time I sawolor pictures come out as black and white Scanner is a Microtek 5900 that is already set up to scan in negatives without any extra added device I spent two days looking up best way to scan and save and I came up with saving them in .tif which takes a lot of room but I have tons of room , a 250 gig and a 500 gig external anyways I scanned in the color strip and went to see the .jpg that I also saved it in and the .jpg was BW so now I am worried about the rest of them, because Ido not want to try to share them with family and have to convert each one. I did convert the one that I scanned but at the moment I cannot remember how I did it. That is not what I am concerned about, my concern is why is this happening in the first place. Oh! and most of the time I use Irfanview to deal with them.Also very busy so am not exactly remembering my actions. And one last thing I want to make it clear that I do not believe that LEGACY has anything to do with the color going away, BUT COLOR WAS BEING DISCUSSED WASN'T IT ??? Hmmm Sandra - Original Message - From: ronald ferguson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures Sandra, this seems more like a Windows or some other problem rather than Legacy but at the moment I am at loss to think what. Perhaps you could clarify some points though which may (or may not) help. You say that you received negatives and I take these are converted to positives on scanning. Are the .tif files in colour when viewed and what viewer are you using? You say you viewed the .tif files in .jpg format - how did you convert them and using what software? Again what viewer did you use to view the .jpg? Finally, to clarify are you saying that on conversion from .tif to .jpg they were converted from colour to grey scale?

Re: [LegacyUG] To keep or not to keep?
Sticking to the topic sort of, I have a very precious copy of my great grandfather Victorio Faustino's signaturefrom when he signed as a Godfather on a baptism certificate,in the Azores Islands. A picture of that will go into my LEGACY. I have greeting cards from the 1940's with my grandmother's hand writing on them as well as the envelopes, wild horses you know? I also have every letter written to me by my parents, they are going into acid free binder pages for my descendents so at least they will know them in a more personal way than just stories and pictures.
