Re: [LegacyUG] One last question about place names
From looking around at maps, etc, It appears that English or British American colonies might be a good solution. I also have New Amsterdam and Swedish colonists so I could use Dutch American colonies and Swedish American Colonies would work. My example would be - Rye, New Haven, Connecticut Colony, English American colonies. or New Amsterdam, Manhattan Island, New Netherlands, Dutch American colonies or United Dutch American colonies.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Using the Source Clipboard (was: A weird problem)
Ok, I guess this is where I do it differently and never considered what you have done. I put the lines used for the household, since that doesn't change and I'm recording the family data in a census. I copy the event without anyone in bold and paste & add the bold to each person as i go. Then I go back and add the bold to the head of household last. With the bold I can easily pick out where the person, who's file I'm looking at, sits in each event relative to everyone else. And then nothing needs changing. Which line they are on is obvious via the line copied from the census in the list, in my mind. But you could clarify by substituting the line numbers for each person rather than going 1, 2, 3,... For instance: you could do it 19. John Pinkney... 20. Amanda Pinkney...

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: both Patrick's have the same RIN, and both Elizabeth's have the same RIN [ was Oh dear am I in a mess ]
So now you need to look to see if the children are still linked to wife 15 or husband 833 or 1358 ... who is 1358? and where did he/she come from? Is there a marriage to an unknown and all these children linked to that marriage? If not then you just need to find the kids and link them to the couple again and that should bring their decendants along with them. If the children are linked to one of the parents with an unknown other parent, you tell legacy that unknown is actually known and say it is the correct other parent and then you can merge those two parents. That merge should bring in the decendants. This mess may take awhile to iron out, so take it slow and steady is my advice. And as someone said, keep saving your database before you do things.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event notes was Lumping/Splitting or Events
If you put the event notes between double square brackets, then the notes don't show up on the chronology page either. This then limits how the chronology page helps you keep all you know about person when you are searching records or deciding what to search next.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template
Elizabeth, Maybe I'm missing something but I think what you are asking for is the Chronology tab at the top of your screen. When you click on that tab you see all the vital data & events for the person's life that you have entered in chronological order. It was created for just the purpose you are suggesting... ie to look at all the data you have on that person in one place. And that is why so many of us type in all the census data or ship record data, etc into the notes section of an event and then copy & paste the event (complete with source) to events for each person named. It does NOT show any data put in the notes section though, so if that is where you put everything you will have to create a few events in order to see how this works. But the copy feature of events, which as I said copies the source also, does not allow you to make the source detail particular for each person. But you don't need to do that once you are seeing everything in the chronology tab. I don't think this is a deluxe feature, but not sure.

I guess having a lot of master sources isn't as big a problem as I thought since some of you have many in your legacy programs. But I'd like to know a little more about the deluxe version as mentioned in an email from Cathy (below). The cost of the deluxe version is prohibitive but may be possible in the future. Does it allow you to show "ALL" the information from census records, death certificates, etc etc etc in one place, at one time, so that there is no need to be clicking boxes, opening tabs etc? I realize that the way I am doing this in the free version is probably strange but it is sooo easy for me to be able to just open the Research tab and have everything right there in one place to look at while searching online. I can see at a glance which census records I have and all the data they include, plus all the other records and their data. I can see whether I have found a service record and what it said or a birth record at Ancestry/Genealogy/Etc and what was included in that record. This saves me so much time and repetition if I am looking for additional information about an ancestor or even someone listed in the census with them, or any other ancestor mentioned in any of their records, or locations where I might find them and so on. It's all right there in front of me. I definitely don't want to be printing out a lot of the information and have to sort through it or find a place to file it. I guess I'm wondering if the deluxe version has this ability. I don't want just the 'Events' of a person's life to show, I also want all the data from all records right there to look at as I search. I suppose I can keep on doing it this way and I was hoping there might be an easier way to do the sourcing and think you all have provide some answers concerning that aspect.

Re: [LegacyUG] One tested method of organizing files ...a bit more still
Gary, I tried using a letter in front of the number for my adoptive family database so that when I'm gone that database could be willed to descendants of that family and separated by my children easily. The problem is that then the ability to see what the next number is in "file id" in Legacy is lost, so I discarded that and do not put a letter in front of anything. An alphabetical report would be helpful. Right now I also have a database in Works where I can search on any field and within fields (ie, family name field with several names in it separated by two spaces) to find sources and info. This way the adoptive family sources could be separated via this sort.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking a document based filing system to individuals in Legacy
If I understand your question, to some extent it will be trial and error. Depending on how you have structured your sources you will have to go to master lists/sources, then show list and tag them. OR you'll have to go to a specific source detail connected with one person and show list for that and tag them, go add the file id and untag and then go on to the next one. And again, I would use the file it as you got it, system and find one person using that source, do a show list, tag and correct and untag, go to the next source you have and do again.

Re: [LegacyUG] One tested method of organizing files ...a bit more
Loran, You bring up the key point... ie, the need of most systems for "either cross-referencing or duplicating when we have one group of people (such as in a group photo or in a census family)", which is why I use the file it as I got it system which files sources once but is referenced by all that use it. When I find a census record I print it out and file it with the next number available sequencially (starting with 0001) in my binders and record that number in the FILE ID on the source detail screen in Legacy.

Each person in the census gets this same source with the same FILE ID #, BUT IT IS FILED ONCE. After reading Bob's post, now I'm going to scan everything or retrieve it from the web in a photo format and preserve them on cd's also, using the FILE ID # as the name of the photo.

I am not a professional genealogist, but I have noticed that the more we try to merge family lines into one file the more difficulties we create for ourselves in organizing the data. For sure it is much easier to merge family lines than separate them and for sure merging family lines will deeply challenge organizing the data. I do not see how to avoid the choice of either cross-referencing or duplicating when we have one group of people (such as in a group photo or in a census family). My personally chosen method is to create separate pedigree lines for each grandparent surname and use the same ahnentafel system for each. This would appear somewhat like the soundex pattern with each surname preceding systematic numbering. This pattern can be extended to as many surname lines as you pick, but I can not handle documentation tasks for more than four families much farther than about five generations. Good luck to those who think that they can. The major strength of the ahnentafel organization is that every one not only has a unique number, but that number simultaneously identifies the family relationship of the preferred direct family line. Those not in that direct line with ahnentafel identification can simply continue using the RIN/MRIN system that has basis only for the random entry sequence. Incidentally, if we add a sibling who belonged inside a chronological order, the only ahnentafel numbers that need to be re-sorted and renumbered are those of that one family (no big task). As someone remarked, no one is obligated to use any organizational system and folks are entitled to keep their data in piles instead of files. I merely have watched the ahnentafel system work much smoother than other options I have observed and decided to share the idea in case folks want to analyze or test the comparisons.

Re: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation of Legacy?
Interesting reason for finding the DNA part of Legacy too intrusive. As an adoptee I find the DNA section to be a real hope for us and vital. Adoptees are the ones having to prove a blood relationships due to our real birth certificates being kept from us. That is in America... my memory is that Britain and Australia have made some reforms in this area but I have forgotten specifics. DNA may be the only way we can figure out & prove who we are genetically. (off topic a bit) While I know families of adoptees think they need to affirm the legitimacy of the adoptee in their family and they should, the problem with that is the unsaid part of not acknowledging the other family an adoptee has... the birth family. The very natural need to know your birth family information is too often seen as being disloyal to the people who raised you. Medical issues alone should make this need obvious. It would be so much better for adoptees if we saw them as having two families, one genetic and one environmental, and gave them them the right to all information regarding those families. So I am suggesting that the adoptees within your family might see the DNA section differently. Additionally, DNA tests could prevent adoptees and sperm donor children from marrying a relative without knowing it. Throwing out a different way of looking at it.

We would have journalling and personal history sharing capability, and the all important research logs. It will have several user defined security levels to protect their individual, family, and extended family privacy, while still making other appropriate information available to the public. Any advice you can give me would surely be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Change of name and dob. (fornerly search string)
This reply misses the point. Yes, you can get a lot of info from the right click but it won't tell you what hitting the reply button does. I right clicked this message from you... using outlook express.. and it said it was from Jan Buker. But hitting reply shows me it is from LUG. Which is what Sherry was trying to say.

(fornerly search string) If you are using outlook express the best way to see information about the e-mail without opening it is to right click on the e-mail and then choose properties. It will open all the header information without opening the e-mail. You can then see where it is from, etc. You can also open the e-mail in a safe manner from there if you so choose. I do not know how to do this in Outlook though, nor any other e-mail program. This only works for outlook express.

(fornerly search string) Sherry - Unfortunately, this is not 100% foolproof. Users of Outlook Express can easily cause replies to go to any email address they want when Reply is clicked. I imagine LegacyUG users would not resort to this trickery, but beware otherwise. - Original Message - From: "Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 8:00 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Change of name and dob. (fornerly search string) Jan, I've found the quickest way to determine who an email came from was to click on "Reply" to see who it's replying to! Filters aren't 100%. Most emails go to the folder that they're supposed to, but some that stay in the inbox and a *copy* is sent to the folder, duplicates of some emails stay in the inbox and some never get filtered at all! I've given up trying to figure it all out Thanks for using Legacy.

(fornerly search string) Hi Sherry, C.G Ouimet emailed me privately to point out that the message was addressed to the list, not me individually (I hadn't noticed this) - and as I responded to him, something strange has happened. I filter my messages so anything with LegacyUG in the subject goes to my Legacy Folder. Every LegacyUG message before and after the one from Ron has gone straight to Legacy. Ron's is still sitting in my general inbox. I would probably have thought twice about it if it hadn't begun Hi Jan Cheers, Jan 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 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 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
Re: [LegacyUG] Census data in Legacy
Cary, I put all the info of the census data in the notes section. then I put in bold the name of the person who's event this is. It is important, to me, to have the whole census info right there when I'm searching. I remember before having to have my copies of the census out all the time to do research. Legacy ended that. Bless them. And then on the chronology page I can see the family progression, who leaves to get married or move west, who is born, etc. This is a huge help when doing research. And sometimes the people we thought were unrelated living there turn out to be related. That is what I like about Legacy. It keeps its eye on giving help to the research. Jean - Original Message - From: "Cary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 5:40 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Census data in Legacy Me too - although I use the Notes section of the Census Event to show each person's appearance detail only for that person's iteration of the Event. (Paste the master event then change the name, age, etc for that person who "Appeared as".".) Given the spelling errors etc of Census takers that works for me. Linking would mean either having to show everyone's detail on all the people or none, right?
