Re: [LegacyUG] no maps in Master Location list
Chap, I have been having the same problem as JL and no amout of checking and unchecking the show map box helps. There is nothing worse than a bug that only happens sometimes. It could be Legacy, IE7 or some interaction with another program.

Re: [LegacyUG] no maps in Master Location list
JL, I had the same problem this morning, complete with script errors etc. I closed Legacy, opened IE and started my copy of Virtual Earth. When I restarted Legacy the maps apeared as they are supposed to. GCO JLB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's like you say, it shows up sometimes. Same with the internet > connection.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking files to Legacy 6.0
All of my census images are in this format. Year US Census, State, County, City or Militia Dist, last name and initial of head of household. Example: 1880 US Census, Georgia, Clarke, Athens, DorseyWE They then line up by Date and Location and are easily found. Works for me. Most of my Census images have been saved in .gif or .tiff format but it does not matter as I sort by image name not type. Penny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Help!

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Chart -
I would normally agree but my ancestors were prone to large family's. Try to fit a 2 gen descendent chart with 11 children with 11 spouses on to 8.5 x 11 or legal landscape. No matter how much other info you forego it will not fit as long as you cannot supress the spouses or wrap them onto a third tier. Thats the easy one. One ancestor had three wives and 19 children.

Re: [LegacyUG] census clean-up
Janis, When I first started with the LUG last July the following was in the Legacy news for July 27th 2007 "Legacy version 7 is getting closer to its release. We're still putting on the finishing touches". After that statement I started slowing down entering new people. I learned a little later about the sourceing change and I stopped all together. Currently I am only entering new information (mostly census data, pictures and Vitals) into my Clooz data base so I can print it out later when Legacy 7 arrives. Clooz will make things go alot faster. I really hate doing things twice so I am only doing picture links and non source maintenance right now. Still in a holding pattern. G.C.
