Re: [LegacyUG] Prepositions of In and At for locations
Hi Cathy; Your use of 'at' and 'in' sounds right to me, and my only connection to Australia is my grandmother was born there 150 years ago.

From an Australian point of view, to use "born at Dalwallinu" rather than "born in Dalwallinu" sounds strange whereas "born at Dalwallinu Hospital", "born at Honeysuckle Cottage" etc is more normal than using "in". I live at 12 Anyname Street. I live in Perth, Western Australia. No doubt this is one of the many differences in English versions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Lumping/Splitting or Events
Hi June; I have been doing this rather than using 'sources'. I find it very easy to attach a graphic, such as a census to a event, then put the event on the clipboard and past to others that are included in the same event. As I don't intend to publish in book form, but maybe make a html, I think it will work. My work will only be distributed to my immediate family anyhow.

Well, I seemed to have solved my own problem. I tried to uninstall Legacy in the Add/Remove page and received an error message "Could not open INSTALL.LOG file.". In frustration I went to my original downloaded Legacy install file and rerun it on top of the existing installation and now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help Please
So I do the "Search" - "Search Internet for Current Person" - "Click on the Select button next to Ancestry.com" and nothing at all happens. I have Version 6.0.0.155 Deluxe. Art Seddon Everett, WA >From the Legacy News: June 05, 2007 Ancestry searching error from within Legacy Ancestry.com has recently made changes to the way customers search their site. These changes have effected Legacy's ability to automatically search for a person in their databases. Continue reading for the workaround For example, click on the Search menu from within Legacy, then click on Search Internet for Current Person. You can now choose which genealogy web site to search. If Ancestry.com is selected, click on the Search button. Normally Legacy would then search Ancestry for the currently-highlighted individual and display the results. Because of the changes made by Ancestry, you will now receive an error message. Fortunately, Legacy has the ability to create and modify the "search strings" that are used to perform these automated searches. The "Ancestry.com" search can easily be modified by following these steps: Once you are on the "Search the Internet" screen, click on the Customize Searches button. Click on the Select button next to Ancestry.com Click once on Ancestry.com, and click on the Edit button. In the field the currently begins with http://service.bfast.com..., replace all of the text in this field with this new link: http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=[GivenNames]&gsln=[Surname]&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=[BirthYear]&yearend=[DeathYear]&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_8002%3b_8003&srchb=r&prox=1&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=allgs&gss=ansmp&so=1&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416 Click Save, click Select, click Close, now click Search. Legacy's Research Guidance section also has links to individual databases at Ancestry.com. For example, on the Preliminary Survey tab, clicking on the Local Histories tab provides an automated listing of local/county histories of the areas in which your ancestor lived. Some of these books are available online. If you click on the Online button for books that are available at Ancestry, you will still be presented with Ancestry's error message. Currently, there is not a way to update the link. However, the book is still available at Ancestry, you will just have to temporarily manually look it up on their site. If you have any questions about performing automated searches, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We will continue to work hard to provide a future update that will correct these links, but for those who want the immediate fix, please follow the steps above.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event clipboard
Hi Cathy, I tried all the good advice, including shutting down the computer overnight and it still happened. What I was doing was entering the information on who lived where when in the "Desc" field of the picture of the house instead of in the notes section of the event, I guess some way the "desc" field has become part of the photo of the house.

Thanks to ALL, Art Seddon - Original Message - From: Cathy To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 1:46 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Event clipboard Hi Art, Are you sure you are describing your process properly? It may help to know a bit more how the event clipboard works. The event clipboard copies the link to the event and its source. It doesn't copy the content of each field. So if you edit the original event after you've copied it to clipboard, the changes will be included when you paste to the next person. If you copied event A to another person and edited it there (AB) and then went to the next person without copying an event and pasted the event there - you are still pasting event A. However, if, in between you went back and edited event A at the original person (A2) and, without copying another event, used the paste from event clipboard for someone else, then it is A2 that gets pasted. That's because it's the link to that original event that is copied so what is pasted is whatever that original link is holding. I've never seen the data for the original person change if I've pasted the event to someone else and edited it for that new person. To answer your first question. Clear the event clipboard by copying another event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... )
One wonders why Legacy would have a 'Picture Folder', say that you are backing up your MM files and not back up the files in the 'Picture Folder' included in Legacy. Seems dumb to me Art Seddon - Original Message - From: hwedhlor To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2007 12:52 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Backup (was Keeping two databases ... ) Hi Art, Your supposition is correct, in that Legacy doe only backup files that are linked to the database. That is both a blessing and a curse. From a Millennia programmer's point of view it makes perfect sense. If an end-user has thousands of image files in various folders (and I do), only those actually used in Legacy have meaning to that program. That makes good sense to me as well, in that I don't wish to send all of my image files to my sister as she only needs those that must show up in Legacy. From the point of view of an end-user who expected a complete folder backup, that may be disappointing, but for myself, I use other backups for the mass of data I keep, so it's a minor point. Where I still have reservations is the area of receiving a backup multimedia file from someone else, and having to sort out where to put all those image files that may be in separate folders say by surname, or even separate folders for each individual! That's how my sister stores her image files, and I can see that I'll have a big job getting them all entered into my system, as those individual folders don't exist on my system. I will have to copy the files to the appropriate storage location of my own, trusting that the filenames will tell me what they are. Since we have a standard convention for naming files, that shouldn't be a problem, but I'll still have to re-link each file by making the appropriate entries in Legacy for sources and events.

I haven't had it too long, but I have scanned multiple pages into the same document and have edited and created text documents. I like it.

I haven't heard of it. After thinking about formats a bit more. I agree that TIF would probably be best for archiving photos, but for multiple page letters that will only be viewed, not edited, wouldn't PDF be more compact and useful? I believe my new little scanner will scan directly to a PDF file, I will have to see if it can combine multiple scans into one file. Otherwise I could have six or eight files for one letter. I suppose I could just scan and inventory page 1 to get the basic inventory and then go back and add the rest of the pages. Too bad I have a job.. Denise Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: Scan File Formats
And for saving black and white text I have had the best luck scanning Line Art into PDFill PDF Editor. It gives better copies than Grey Scale or diffusion and makes a very small file - a 4 page will only 158k. Art Seddon - Original Message - From: C.G.

Then create a smaller JPG from that TIFF to keep in the folder where you have Legacy link to. In my view, scanning to PDF should only be used to email a copy of a document to someone. C.G.

As Cathy says, tiff is non lossy and great for archiving pictures for editing and jpg (not jpeg) for a finished version for use in reports or web pages. PDF is somewhat different and one really needs to consider how the pictures will be used. What format will any reports be in PDF or RTF. On websites to view a pdf the program calls upon the user's Acrobat Reader program to display it - is this what one would want? Even in Legacy a pdf cannot be saved as a picture but must be saved as a video or sound file. Ron Ferguson Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Not a Legacy question - BUT
Since it is often more convenient to follow a thread if the prior messages are left on a reply and it seams to be the multiple stuff that Legacy adds to the bottom of every e:mail that bothers people why don't Legacy add the 'dash dash space' ahead of their footer? I know that to reduce clutter on my Legacy folder I usually delete a message after I read it, but if a reply piques my interest it is a pain to have to go to the archives to look for the thread.

Re: [LegacyUG] County without city
Gene Young writes: In this instance, when I am sure that there is no identifiable municipal entity at that level, I would enter Unincorporated Area, Bell, Texas, USA and use notes to explain the lack of local government body. Gene Y. In the unincorporated area of Snohomish County, Washington where I live, we have no shortage of "government". If we need the police, we call the Sheriff, to pay our taxes, we make the check out to the County Auditor. Our mail address is Everett, WA, which indicates what post office handles our mail, but births, deaths and marriages are COUNTY records. So take your choice, you can use the mail address, which is not legally accurate, or you can call it Snohomish County, WA, USA, which is legally accurate. , Snohomish County, WA, USA will probably search better and you could do something like "unincorporated area, Snohomish County, WA, USA". Up until about 1930 I believe over 50% of the US population live outside cities, so there is a good chance that chasing your family back through US history you will find many ancestors did not live in an incorporated city. Many townships might have a name, but not only no governing body, but no residents, so that the first people that would settle there would still deal only with the county.

Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express
Second question: If I send a Passage Express CD to someone, is it acceptable to send them an install copy of Legacy (almost 30 meg) on the CD. If they have dial-up it would be a long download. And how much disk space would be required to install Legacy and run the Passage Express CD? (I have a 500 gig drive, so I don't worry about disk space on my own computer.) When a Passage Express CD is created and sent to someone else, does Legacy have to already be on the computer that the CD is run on or is does the CD contain a run version?
