I just moved into a new computer.  I lost some of my Legacy settings.  I've
figured out how to get most of them back, but one has me puzzled.  I would
like to change the text color that shows up when an item has a source.  Help
please.

I put the Details and the Source in the Description, and when I click on the

Pat, NO fact/event/relationship is 100% certain. It is ALL a guess with
certainties ranging from 0-99%, and that is why documentation and source
citation are so important. Of course, indexes, abstracts, and transcriptions
contain errors. But so do original records. My mother's own marriage
certificate lists the name of her fourth step-mother as her "mother," a
piece of documentation that could send many researchers in the wrong
direction. This is why I never accept a single source as strong evidence for
a fact, no matter how "good" the source.

I enter things as I find them. The supporting documentation might be quite
weak, but I need something to spur the research process. For example, I
might estimate a marriage date (and even guess that there WAS a marriage)
based on the children's ages in the 1880 census. That is my source citation,
even though I know that it is not particularly strong evidence for the
marriage date. Having it entered -- and appearing on my family group sheets
& pedigree charts -- gives me a place to START my research and solidify the
EVENT. 

For that reason, my database is full of estimates. Of course, I can make
these estimates as I research, but that is cumbersome. Also, with databases
posted at Ancestry and similar sites, I want to give distant cousins a way
to discover commonalities and contact me. The more data and place guesses I
make, the better. Each guess is accompanied by the source citation which
boils down to "compiler estimate based on data as of [date]".

RE: [LegacyUG] An argument for splitting? (knowing I may get "lumps" for this)

2007-09-23 Thread joe Martin

Do not put the details of the event in the Master Source. Keep the Master
Source lean and simple. A Police Officer uses the Vehicle Code as a reason
to stop a speeder, then he writes a CITATION using the Vehicle code (
example: CVC22350, speed exceeding 55 MPH), as the Master Source. He/She
then includes the details such as Your Speed, Location, Time and Conditions
on the CITATION. The Master Source remains simple and lean ( CVC22350) and
will be used on many other citations with different details, but the
citation for excessive speed will always cite the same Master Source.

Try this website, it was a help to me.
www.progenealogists.com/commoncitations.htm

Keep plugging away at this Source stuff and it will become crystal clear,
soon.

Hi Pat,

Basically it sounds as if you are only using the 
Source Details sections of a source just for 
comments rather than for the true Source Detail.

Taking your example:
I'd make The Snider Family GenForum a Master 
Source and put the details of a particular posting in the Source Detail.

or, to use a more common example as I'm not familiar with GenForums.

A Census is a Master Source. (whether you make 
the Master Source the census for a particular 
country (English Census) or for a particular 
country for a particular year (1841 Census) or 
for a state (1860 Census for Michigan) or county 
- depending on how much of a splitter you are).
Regardless of how you've lumped or split, I think 
a particular census household, belongs in the 
source detail. I put the reference in the Source 
Detail and a transcription of the household in the Source Detail text.

To put the actual household in the Master Source 
is to completely ignore the structure of having 
Master Sources and Source Details. It can be done 
and it may suit you better but you need to be 
aware that you aren't using Legacy sourcing as designed.

Adding to the confusion, Legacy isn't consistent 
on its use of terminology for the Source Details. 
Sometimes it uses Citation or Citation Details 
for the Source Details and sometimes Citation 
refers to one whole use of a Source - Master source plus the details.

2007-09-21 Thread joe Martin

Tim, until Pat replies, allow me to say that I think you have a good
understanding of the Sourcing concept. LUG  members have lots of great ways
to do this, Here is how I would document your Bible.

 

Repository: Great Aunt's Name, Address, etc. She may have more than one
source so only the location detail is needed here.

 

Source List Name: Hill Family Bible

Author: Probably your Great Aunt, list up to 3 Authors

Title: The Holy Bible - Periodical Entries of the Hill Family's Births,
Deaths and Marriages 

Publication Facts: List the Address, City,State, Country where the Bible
entries were documented.

 

Now ,  add some info into the "Text of Source" tab, and save it. Now attach
this Source to someone and run a family group, or individual report and see
how the source citation appears. If it does not read correctly, go back and
edit the source and detail until the source citation prints out the way you
want it.

 

Joe

Very interesting!

 

So Pat... as a splitter, how would you handle the following:

 

I have copies of pages from a family bible, and asside from the handwritten
births, marriages and deaths, there are also copies of obituaries and
wedding announcements etc pasted onto certain pages.  I think of all of
these as separate pieces of information (or citations), but they are all
included in the main source.  If you were sourcing these things, would you
split out each citation as it's own source?  I.E.

 

Havens, William P. - Obituary in Hill Family Bible

Havens, William P. - Other information from another different source..

Hill, Richard - Obituary in Hill Family Bible

etc... (actually the "etc" would sort first on the source list)

 

If so, how would you tie all of these together so that you know they all
came from the Hill family bible?  Use the bible as a repository?  My
repository for this would have been my 103 year old Great Aunt.. as she
possess the bible pages..

Another [reason not to split] ]is this:  If you enter every record as a

Kirsten, No,not at all -- If I had to do that I'd be a lumper too!

To avoid th retyping,
You simply go to your master source list and
Highlight a source very similar to the new source you want to enter.
Click "Edit."
Make any changes necessary to make the OLD SOURCE into what you want your 
NEW SOURCE to say.
Click "Save"
At that point you get a little window that says (In the blue heading):
"You are about to make changes to a master source."
There are 2 options (in addition to a 'Cancel' button):
1. Apply the changes to ALL references of this master source[.]
2. Apply the changes to a NEW copy of this master source[.]
[For no. 1 the 'A' in ALL is underlined; for no. 2 the 'N' in NEW is 
underlined.]
So for your new source, you simply hold down the Alt key and hit 'N.'
It couldn't be simpler.
(Actually, I think no. 2 should be reworded to say: "Apply the changes to 
create a NEW master source." )

The need to do VERY LITTLE RETYPING  is precisely one
of the main reasons why I like being a "splitter."

That and the fact that it is so QUICK and EASY to see (by scrolling through 
the master source list) whether I've already used this PARTICULAR source AND

(via the Option button) the people I've used it with.

Of course, you DO have to be VERY careful to chose 'A' or 'N' correctly!

It seems that a lot of Legacy users inquire, request, and need the ability
to run custom queries of the Legacy database. Maybe a module could be added
to Legacy that resembles MS Access.

Hi Tim,

Currently it is extremely difficult to edit Source Citation details 
unless you can search and replace on a particular section.
You can't easily add a File ID to the Source Detail or a picture etc. 
You can't even get a list of people using that particular source 
detail - only a list of those using the Master Source, and by tagging 
it and using the Source Report, a printout of what is actually 
attached to each person.

That is the only advantage I can see to being a Source Splitter.

I'm not sure whether this will change with the revamp of sources in Legacy
7.

There's great advantage in filling in all the relevant sections in 
the source detail when you first attach the source.

Cheers,
Cathy

pool as my grandmother's father.  I think that all I'll ever know is
that he was Chinese, so I've listed him as "Chinese Man (Unnamed)" in
Given Names because it looked a little better in the sentence style of
reports.  Eg Maggie had a relationship with Chinese-Man (Unnamed).

I've got the report that listed that permission to marry was refused
in a PDF file, am I right in thinking that Legacy 6 won't allow me to
add the PDF unless I convert it to an image format, but Legacy 7 will
accept PDFs?

Cheers
Tracy

Renee, 

Unfortunately the "it would require a complete program rewrite" has 
become the standard mantra for the Millennia folks. They want to stay 
competitive, but they refuse to offer any of the features that their 
competition does offer. Both TMG and Genbox offer a witness feature. 
Genbox is able to handle same sex relationships, both offer outstanding 
charts and reports. 

Don't hold your breath waiting for anything innovative from Millennia 
because it will require a complete program re-write. Search the 
archives and see how many times that mantra has been chanted. 

Regards, 
Ron Bernier

Joe:

By developing a program for genealogists only, as was recommended/advocated 
by Bill Anderson, Millenia would be catering to the people who have a very 
restricted view of what should be included - no adopted children, no gays, 
etc. These are the people I call the purists.

However, I believe that most people are inclusive and want to include 
everybody -and I mean everybody - in their family. If Millenia continues to 
stall about making modifications to include gays, they will lose these 
customers and Legacy eventually will become nothing more than a niche 
product. This is a poor business strategy.

Personally, I have come to believe Millenia will never make the necessary 
modifications. This obstinance has not had much of an impact on me so I will

continue to use Legacy because it is a very good program. I hope that 
doesn't change.

If Millenia wants to survive as a company, it must go the Family History
route. A Family History program can be used by everybody, including the
purists; a Genealogy program can only be used by the purists. They would be

Should Legacy be developed along the lines of a Family History (FH) program
or a
Genealogical (Gen) program?

My gut feel is that the 'FH' route will be much more complex with the

development and maintenance costs and greater learning curve - and a higher

There are many 'Gen' fixes and enhancements which we have already requested

which could fall by the wayside if the 'FH' side is developed.

It might be a good idea to let Geoff get a feel for the direction that the

If you look at the numbers beside each child's name, you will see one
of two things. Either a shaded box (very faint) surrounding the
number, in which case the person is living, or no shaded box, meaning
the person is dead. It is best to select a family that has some living
and some dead siblings.

Heather, 

 

So in your case, your endeavor into MtDNA testing would align you with one
of the 30 maternal lines of the world, and provide your profile to all
others of the same profile to compare DNA for a possible match, but not
prove whether the other McCaslin line is part of yours?

I loathe bottom posting as it means too much scrolling - and often I 
have to click another button as well as I use Eudora in Compact mode 
which auto snips what it sees as quotes and doesn't always get it 
right with interspersed or bottom posted messages .

This list is about the only list on which I bother to read the 
message if it is bottom posted. Too much else to do rather than 
unnecessary scrolling. The vast majority of posters on genealogy 
lists fortunately top post.

With top posting, if you are following a thread closely, you don't 
need to scroll down to read the (hopefully snipped) previous message. 
If you're not, you can scroll to get the context.

all included on the family group sheet, (30 Full Lines ) and all of it was
printed. The Spouse, however was pushed to the next page, but I have never
seen enough data on a census form to exceed more than a few lines.

I like Pat's usage of the Event Notes for census data.

I would still like to see Linda Altman's Census Templates

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Using EVENTS for census info WAS Linda Altman's
census templates ;

I think there would be too much information and it would either overflow the
little box/area used for description when printing a FAMILY Group Record or
it might force the little box so far that it would corrupt the date field.
I have had problems (see archives) with the date field when trying to print
out the Family Group Report.  Everything looks good on the computer screen
but doesn't always dprint out that way.  The problem involve trying to use a
date like "from 1884-Jan 1886" or "between 1884-Jan 1886".  The Report would
print out okay if I changed it to read 1884-1886 but then to compensate for
the now missing information I had to find another place to add the reason
for the Jan 1886 date.  Not a great problem.  It appears that the boxes
under the Family Group Report have a "normal" for the program setting and
all BUT the Date column will expand to some degree if the information
contained is longer than what the program is designed for.  Hope you follow
this, I can't find a better way to explain it.

I followed the advice of a very active and knowledgable local
Legacy user (and member of this group) when I first started using 
Legacy about a year ago.  She suggested that she used the notes
section under EVENTS for displaying the census information, i.e.

She added the full information for all parties shown in the
census for the "Head of Household", continuing that way for each 
census year the main party was found (in the case above, Robert
Marshall).  As the children broke off and were found elsewhere,
they then became the head of their own household (even if single)
and had the full information listed under their name. 

If you could look at my database, you would see that after I have
entered all this information under the "Head of Household", under
the EVENTS notes for each individual in the census information
(in this case, Mary and all the children), I have listed ONLY the
information found for that individual.

PROs to this method:  I have the full information at my
fingertips when I do research and don't have to look under the 
scattered SOURCES.  My database if designed for my optimal
research capabilities, NOT for conciseness.  It also enables
anyone looking at my database to see the information at a glance.
This method had enabled me to find several pieces of information 
that I was missing and couldn't find until I set the database up
this way. The census information prints out in chronological
order immediately below the name and general information for the
individual in the Family Group Record which I use most often. 

CONs you have a lot of sources, which I don't mind at all; I use
the "ibid" feature to cut down on some of them. Not all Legacy
reports will set up this way; I wish I could get the Descendant
Report to set up like the Family Group Report, for instance.  It
doesn't even allow Sources unfortunately - bad mistake in MHO.

Gerda and Joe,

I went the SLC FHL this last April for a week. You are right, and I agree
with Joe that the more you can search before you arrive, the better. Take
your thumb drive or CD's so that you can store info from their computers.
There are 3 floors of computers that are occupied most of the time except
for after lunch and before closing. I didn't see any sign of a time limit
and I saw people on the same spot all day. Maybe the time limit was not
enforced during that time period. Take your own magnifying glass too.

H Gerda,

I'm not sure if the Library has Legacy loaded.

If this is yours or any one else's first time to the Library, I would 
suggest that you know exactly what you want before you go to the library 
as you will become quickly overwhelmed. It may help to do a search 
online first using the Online Family Center. This also will save you 
time instead of waiting to use a computer then pulling records from the 
shelves. Also if a record is in the "vault" you will need to let the 
library know ahead of time to pull the film you want.

If you go to the library do not waste your time looking for documents 
that you can get online.

I live in NC and did a pilgrimage to the Library last summer. My how 
Salt Lake City is very beautiful and clean and I have never been to "big 
city" where everyone seemed very friendly and would talk to you.

The Library folks are extremely friendly and helpful. I spent a three 
full days from open until close at the Library researching one family 
line and ended up gladly spending $90 on copies of records in which I 
could take back home with me scan them into my computer and add them to 
my Legacy database. I basically copied every person from a specific 
county in NC that ended in the surname I was researching--this included 
birth records, death records, and marriage records. this payed off when 
I got home and had time to look over the data. I linked family that I 
never knew I had.

Take a lot of dollar bills with you if you end up doing this. The sad 
thing is if I go to my state archive in NC  I would spend 3 days getting 
5 documents since you have to go through such a bureaucratic process 
filling out paperwork to look at one file. It was cheaper for me to 
drive across country with the family stay at a timeshare and my wife 
graciously letting me spend 3 full days at the Library :)

I'm not sure what you are wanting to accomplish, but unless things have 
changed since last year, you could not scan films directly to your 
memory stick. They did not have that technology that I am aware of. 
There are plenty of film readers, but the computers were packed and you 
could only use them an hour at a time.

Again, make sure you know what you want before you go so you do not 
waste your time, unless you live close by and have plenty of time to kill.

Hi Joe,
Well icons for reports are there and can be placed on the Toolbar.

Favourite websites is another issue.
You could customise the Internet Searches for a couple but what I 
think you really want is access to your Internet Favourites on the 
Legacy Home Tab. Why don't you put in a suggestion using the link on 
the Legacy Home Tab?

I'm all for using a number of different programs rather than making 
one program do everything. I often have a browser or two open at the 
same time as Legacy (I mainly use Opera but you have to use IE for 
some websites and I still tend to use one of the IE overlay browsers 
as IE7 is still a bit clunky to me - I also use Firefox sometimes but 
miss some of the Opera features), sometimes arranged so that I can see both.

I like this idea Cathy, and I would like to suggest that Legacy allow users
to place shortcuts on the Legacy toolbar. Say you have a favorite report
from within Legacy or a favorite Irish website that is a good reference, or
a good reference to Source Citations. One could already place a browser
window side by side with Legacy (if the monitor screen is wide enough) and
that works fine too. Now and then, I wish I could click on a shortcut on the

If the PE icon for making CDs isn't on your Legacy toolbar and you

You can add a number of useful icons and remove others that you don't

want it there, right click on the toolbar and customise your toolbar. 
You can add a number of useful icons and remove others that you don't 
use.  For example, I add icons to my favourite reports.

The PE icon is there on my toolbar but I can't recall if it was part 
of the default or part of my customisation. I don't currently have PE 
installed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Weak print

2007-04-18 Thread joe Martin

Do you mean the screen fonts look weak and shaky, and stuff doesn't look
right on your screen? In Legacy?

Just want to see if anyone has had this problem and if someone might have a
fix.  I had to replace my hard drive and lost many files.  However, I still
had good files from a previous genealogy program. I loaded these files onto
the old program and everything looks fine.  I exported by GEDCOM from this
older program into Legacy 6.0 Deluxe.  All the information went OK, but all
the small type stuff looks a little weak and shaky.  If I type new info in,
it also doesn't look quite right.  Any ideas? Bruce

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Vista memory usage

2007-02-24 Thread Joe Martin

Guido, I'm staying with XP too, for now. Not because of any issue with
Legacy, but because HP did not write a new driver for Vista and my scanner.
I like my scanner.

I have to say that 1 GIG is as low as I would go. I usually have Legacy open
as I am searching Ancestry, and the census images open much faster with more
memory.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Vista memory usage

A recent thread discussed the (apparent) large  memory requirements of
Legacy 
when printing large books.  And that brings  me to Microsoft's recently 
released Vista.

The articles I have read  recommend a minimum of 1 GIG of RAM for running 
Vista and I've even seen some  experts recommending a minimum of 2 GIG of
RAM for 
Vista.

Which brings me  to my question.  As Legacy has such large memory 
requirements and Vista has  huge memory requirements, just how much RAM does
one need for 
Legacy to properly  run on the Vista platform, especially if one is printing

a large  book?

Sherry et al,
Please excuse this off topic posting, but it is peripherally related to
Legacy.

Everyone else, this is off topic, so please if you have any replies,
*PLEASE* send to me privately.  I'd hate to clog up an already busy
list with this.

I need to get a new scanner to enable me to scan in photos, Etc.  I
intend to use it primarily for Legacy purposes, but also for sharing
photos with other family members, especially a first cousin I've just
found out about, whom I never knew even existed until a year ago!

Have any of you got any ideas or help for me? What I need to look out
for, what I should avoid, Etc.  Any tips or hints would be gratefully
appreciated.

Again, responses to me privately, please, and not directly to the list.

Thanks in advance,

Dermot.
