Re: [LegacyUG] Sibling relationships

[LegacyUG] flash drives (was error opening database)
Gene, I have several flash drives of varying sizes and none of them have a slide anywhere. We also have two MP3 players and they both have slides to lock them. Is there something I am missing? I use the flash drive (updated when we are ready to leave home) to take my data back and forth to my daughter's house but also have my data backed up on a portable hard drive (weekly), send a zipped file to myself on g-mail (monthly) and a partitioned 2nd drive on the computer (at the same I save the daily work). Maybe a little overkill here but don't want to lose my data. Oh yes, about every 6 months I make a CD and take it to my friends house down the street. -- Myrna J If you use this link you can download a FREE version of Legacy Family Tree http://www.legacyfamilytreestore.com/?Click=15628 *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.

Re: [LegacyUG] What would you call "America" in 1666?
Good morning all, There is a listing of states and when they were admitted to the union on Wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_date_of_statehood). I printed this off and have it next to my keyboard. Until the state was admitted/ ratified I always use "American Colonies" or the territory; after that I use USA. I have one family that came from France to Quebec and always use "Quebec, Canada" even though it is not totally correct.

Re: [LegacyUG] Protocol in Divorce
In our family I have kept all the information on my ex (who is now deceased) and have a very extensive family tree on his side.

If there are no children involved I would only have the basic information about the spouse and maybe the parents. The spouse's mother may want to keep the photos, etc. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Re: [LegacyUG] Why is LugacyUG sending ads to buy watches..
Most of the time when this happens it is because someone has his e-mail address in their address book. Then they get a virus/worm/trojan/whatever and it steals the addresses. After that the worm sends spam to all of those addresses and picks up others on the way. Someone was able to hack into yahoo addresses and I have received spam from every myrna at yahoo in the world. Just have patience. No matter how much it is talked about, no matter how many really good FREE anti-virus programs are available there are always people that still say "it wont get me so I don't need it"! Next to backup and registry cleanup programs anti virus programs are the most important (and Legacy of course). Don't blame it on Legacy, Please!

[LegacyUG] Geo database in V7
Hello Listers, After looking thru the archives (fruitlessly) I thought I would ask all of you experts!! I have downloaded the new V7 and set it for deluxe. Now I want to download the geo databases. After "create"ing it I tried to "download." It goes to the internet and then hangs up. So, is this a problem that anyone else has found? All of the DBs were downloaded previously into V6. Have there been any updates to the geo DBs? If not then maybe I could just import them from my V6.

When we got back yesterday I immediately signed up again and then went to the archives -- HA -- I sorted by subject but after reading about 50 messages I just gave up. I had tried to read through the subjects so I could screen out what I did not want to read. There is no way that you can do that anymore. So PLEASE be sure your subjects are correct! There is no way I can catch up on two months of messages and I just know I have missed some really good ones.

[LegacyUG] a question about Legacy Charting Pre-Release Edition
Geoff, Twice now when in the charting program I get *hung up* with this error menu: Sizing Options: LegacyCharting.EXE - no disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E: Of course there is no disk in the drive. I was not doing anything with that drive. No matter what I do it is STUCK! I cannot get out of this without going to task manager and closing the program. When this happened this time I was changing the 'themes' to see what each looked like and checking out the other options of the program (trying to learn it). I don't remember what I was doing the first time the message came up. There are only 90 people in this particular DB so I know I am not going to try it on one of my larger ones. OK, so I am gonna go back to reading the help section and see if I can figure this out.

[LegacyUG] an update to my presentation of Legacy
Hello listers and staff, Just wanted to let everyone (that is interested) know about the meeting of our new genealogy group (of gringos) here in the heart of Mexico and the presentation of Legacy. It went Geeaatt! Isn't that what Tony the tiger always says? The copies I had burned of the standard version of Legacy were definitely a hit. The matrix with 4 different software programs showed that Legacy was "more bang for the buck" and most people were happy to see the presentation. Hopefully there will be at least 20 more happy users of Legacy. The only problem may be that I really did build up our great online users group. But, maybe they will all do the tutorial FIRST (which I stressed) before they start with the users group asking questions. Even if they don't, I know our great group here will be ready and patiently answers the questions. Thanks for all the support you gave me while I was preparing for this.

[LegacyUG] How do I keep my locations menu open?
Good morning listers, Today I am wishing I had 3 monitors instead of two. BUT, right now that wont even work. I am working with the Henry County, Alabama cemeteries on #2 monitor. Legacy is open on #1. I have the Legacy screen open in the family tab then click on "view, master lists, locations" and have found the particular cemeteries. I want this screen (locations) to stay open but then I cannot edit any of the data on the family view. I have even tried the split screen and opened the view... from each side but still could not edit the opposite side. Is there any way to do this? It is a real hassle to keep calling up the view . and then locate the cemetery I want.

Re: [LegacyUG] a few questions
Thanks Heather, I knew the charting was coming in the next version but did/do not know what drag and drop charting is. If the data files is what you are suggesting then I guess it would almost be unlimited. I have several myself: 1)my husbands side (because we did not have children together and he has children from his late wife). 2) my maternal and paternal families and some of my first husband's (we did have children together). 3) my first husband's (someone sent me a gedcom file and I imported it to a new family file until I can clean it up and check all the data which goes back to the 1400's) 4) son-in-law (spouse of my youngest daughter (he is listed with some of his family in my database but like above I have downloaded someone else's gedcom and am cleaning it up and checking it. 5) my husband's grandfather's maternal side (someone else is working really hard on translating the Danish data and there was no way I was going to tell her "NO" so it is there and I will pick and choose from it at a later date). In fact, I have downloaded other gedcoms and as I clean them up and check them I will merge what I want into whichever family they belong to and eventually delete the gedcom and the old file.

[LegacyUG] a few questions
Hello Listers, We have a new genealogy group here at Lakeside. It consists of about 5 knowledgeable people on computers and genealogy and 25 or so people that have some knowledge of computers and none on genealogy. We also have several that *may* know how to turn on a computer. At our next meeting several of us will be presenting different genealogy software packages. Even though I am definitely not an expert I opened my big mouth and said I would present Legacy (since I am the ONLY one here that uses it). Others will be presenting PAF, FTM, and RootsMagic. I have downloaded and burned copies of the standard version to pass out to anyone who wants to try it (with permission from Sherry). Another person has put together a matrix of the differences in the software packages. The only one that comes anywhere near Legacy is RootsMagic (which I had tried but did not like). In her matrix she has a few statements that confused me and I wanted to get some of your opinions. 1) traditional top-down tree (what is it?) 2) drag and drop charting (since I don't do charting I have not idea) 3) number of data files (she lists 2 for Legacy and 35 for RM) She says Legacy does not have these capabilities and RM does. Since I am trying to convince everyone to use Legacy over the other programs I need all the help I can get. And please remember - I am a person who HATES to speak in front of others. Even writing about it gives me the shakes. So, anyone out there care to help this old lady convince others how great Legacy is? What would be really nice is if someone took a vacation and came down here to present it - unpaid of course :-))) Thanks, Myrna in beautiful, sunny, warm, Mexico Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Thank goodness. I was afraid my ISP was playing games since it has been over 24 hours with no messages. Not only is it sunny but it was hot today. Got all the way to 85.

[LegacyUG] Training Videos on CD
The videos are a great investment. Anytime you have forgotten something you can slip in the video and refresh your memory. And viewing them once a month or so will also let you catch what you may have missed the last time you saw it. **Almost** all of the questions asked on this board are on the videos. Yes, I know it is easier to ask than to look and I do that myself (4 lashes with that wet noodle) but sometimes you get the answer faster by looking at the video than from the message board. Geoff has told us that there will only be a few changes with the new version that will change on the videos so I am assuming that if you purchase the videos now Legacy staff will work with you about the cost of the ones that need to be replaced/updated. Even if the whole package changes it is well worth the money to invest in the training CDs. OK, I am off the soap box now!

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching by age?
So did I! The only time I will use the "never married and/or had children" is if the person was over 18 or so and only if I know for sure that they never married. Then it does not look so bad on the reports. Myrna === By the way, I would like to share one comment about having the comment "never having been married and no children" for relatives who died as children -- I found it to be really jarring to see that in my descendants report beside an infant, etc. I erased it in every case I had used it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Having more than one file
Hi Michele, I also have separate files for my second husbands side and for mine but only because we did not have children together. My first husband is in my files with all the ancestors and our children and grandchildren. My second husband is also in the file as second husband and that we had no children but that is all the data from him that is in MY file. My husbands file has his first wife and all of both their ancestors along with their children and grandchildren and me as second wife. Even if you do not want all the ancestor data from your husbands side you should at least have him and your children in your file. This means you would also be listed in his file. Does that make sense to you? Myrna . Give Legacy as a Gift for 25% Off.

[LegacyUG] one more time for Ancestry
This past weekend I have tried at least 5 times to upload a file to Ancestry with 6700 names and it failed EVERY time. I had tried it the same way as the last file I uploaded so I knew it should work. This morning, out of desperation, I tried to upload it using Internet Explorer (I normally use Firefox because of the safety issues with IE). Well!! The darn thing went through the first time. S, I am making myself a BIG note that when I upload to Ancestry to do it the following way: 1) Bring up Internet Explorer, log on to Ancestry. 2) Go back to Legacy and click 'FILE', then down to 3) 'Upload to Ancestry Online Family Tree'. 4) In the next screen, click the boxes you want to include with the file; be sure the 'Record Selection' at the bottom of the screen is correct then 5) click on 'Select File Name and Start Export'. This screen is where you put the name of the GEDCOM file you are preparing for upload. Legacy will then create the GEDCOM file which will take a few minutes depending on how many names are in your file. 6) Then a box comes up telling you the geddcom file is complete with the number of individuals and the number of families. When you press OK it will automatically take you to your DEFAULT browser unless you have brought up IE first. (If you use a different browser then you MUST open IE before you start this process (or you could set the default browser for Legacy in your ''Options', 'Customize', 'Launch' and then change or add IE to #1) and log in to ancestry. ) 7) on the Ancestry screen, first blank, type in the location of the gedcom file (i.e, D:/Legacy/data/name.ged) or click on the 'Browse' button at the end of the box and look for the file. 8) Type in the name you want to use on ancestry (i.e, Judy and Harry families). The next box is already checked giving Ancestry permission to add your files to OneWorldTree. In the next box 9) Type in a small description of the files such as locations for each family, what you are looking for, whether you will accept additions, corrections, etc. 10) click the box for 'I accept the Submission Agreement then click on Upload. Do not do anything else on the internet until this upload is complete. Now for a little tidbit on Ancestry. With their last upgrade the program is now smart enough to know if any of the names are still living and will block any living data (other than names) that you upload. ONLY you and anyone you invite with the option to view living data can see any of the living data. If you created your gedcom and told it to upload living data then you can see and edit at Ancestry but no one else can unless you invite them and give them that permission at the invite screen. You can also give the invitee the status of Guest, Contributor, or Editor. Lots of new changes, thank goodness. Maybe this will also answer the question the OP had about WVR and Ancestry. Now that I have written this I am about to print it off and put it on top of my desk for the next time. Have a great day! Myrna in Overcast but warm, Mexico Give Legacy as a Gift for 25% Off.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo Location Question
Hello Mike, Here is my uneducated opinion. They had to start somewhere and they know the US better than other countries. You can change the way you use it in other countries. There is no reason to have only FOUR sections on the location and you can put in whatever you want. That is why Legacy is so great I am now finding lots of ancestors in Denmark and England. No, they don't fit but I have worked out the way I want mine to read. I use the GEO locations as a GUIDE, not as the gospel. 'Nuff said', I am off my soap box now but please don't flame me today.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo Location Question
MIchele, If you go to this site: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/GeoDownload.asp and then page down it will show you this "Geo Database Region Files". 1.. AF - Africa Region (5.5 MB) 2.. AM - Americas, excluding USA (4.7 MB) 3.. AS - Asia Region (14 MB) 4.. EU - Europe Region (9.5 MB) 5.. PA - Pacific Region (2.1 MB) 6.. US - United States Region (2.9 MB) Pick out which region you want and then download to your computer. Over the past I have gradually downloaded all of them but number 1, Africa region. So far I do not have any ancestors from there. You will see that number 4 is for the Europe region and that is the one you want.

Hello listers, After all the comments about uploading, downloading and merging from Ancestry to Legacy, I decided to finally try it. So far it looks okay except for one aggravating thing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy List Problems
Donna, I do the same. Set up folders and then create rules so your messages go to the folders you want. That way your inbox is not FULL all time. In fact I have a folder for Message boards then sub folders for the different lists I subscribe to. The same for messages concerning different families under Genealogy, etc. etc. It may be a little tedious the first few times but now it is very easy to create new folders/sub-folders and really lets me control my inbox much better.

Re: [LegacyUG] Favorite Legacy Tip
If there are no birth or death dates available for someone I ALWAYS add "Est" to my birth date. All other dates are as I receive them, i.e, about, cir, etc. This way I know it is plus or minus about 20 years and gives me something to look for. I know that anything with the Est is MY''' estimate and not someone else's. My default is also set to Living = NO. Myrna Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] problem with v 6.0.0.155
After downloading the new update I am having a nagging little problem and then found another problem (probably has nothing to do with the new version). 1) Somehow the new version changed SOME of my options. Before I had 'Options, Customize, Data Defaults, Living Indicator Default' set as NO. The new update changed it to YES. Even though I changed it to NO, saved it (several times in fact and even restarted Legacy) it will not put NO automatically. I have even cold started the computer but no luck. 2) This other problem may have been there but I never paid attention. After merging duplicates in a file then rechecking for duplicates to ensure I did not miss any, it puts the same duplicates on the new list even though I went through options and told the program they were NOT duplicates and saved. There were only about 32 dups so it was really no big deal to do those again but it could get very discouraging if there were many dups and they show up EVERY time you run the check even if you have told it they were not dups.

After merging duplicates in a file then rechecking for duplicates to ensure I did not miss any, it puts the same duplicates on the new list even though I went through options and told the program they were NOT duplicates and saved. There were only about 32 dups so it was really no big deal to do those again but it could get very discouraging if there were many dups and they show up EVERY time you run the check even if you have told it they were not dups.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please truncate your mail
Even better would be if people would set up their "options" to uncheck the box for "include message in reply". That is available in all of the e-mail programs I use. Then if I DO want to snip part of the message and include it I can do that. Otherwise NONE of the OPs message is included. Much better, much shorter. I myself just got off of dial-up so I understand.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing an e-mail without all the Legacy info at the bottom.
Valerie,
I don't mean to be bit___ but you really should take a few
basic classes in your Windows operation system. Almost all of the
questions you have ask so far concern basics in computing and not
the Legacy program.
I do understand how you feel because of all the questions and
responses concerning Access. I have a mental block when it comes
to spreadsheet programs so I just overlook all of those since I
do not intend to learn Access at this late stage in life. Takes
too much time away from genealogy {:)).
Please don't give up and PLEASE don't take this the wrong
way. You will enjoy your computer and Legacy much more if you
understand some of the basics of computers before jumping in to
learn about a genealogy program first.

Re: [LegacyUG] Research notes for recent work
Two monitors is a great way to do research. I also have a program called "UltraMon" that makes it very easy to set up your screens and move back and forth between them. Much better than the windows capability or splitting your one screen into different sections. I have Legacy open now on my main (right monitor) and e-mail, yahoo messenger and ancestry on my secondary (left monitor). It is very seamless going from one screen to the other and makes it so easy when copying from the census screen in the Legacy individual screen. As you can probably tell, I have only had this setup for a week but it is truly FANTASTIC! Myrna from sunny Mexico Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy "usr" files
Thanks for the info Rich. Yes, I ALWAYS do a backup on exit. This only saves the data and not the settings for the program. Once a week I backup the Legacy program and all data/media to a different hard drive and at least once a month I backup the Legacy program and data/media to an external hard drive. Once a month or whenever I do a lot of data entry I will send myself the data by e-mail to my g-mail account. My problem is - where are my user settings??? They don't seem to be backed up with my program files. They are never backed up with the data files but I just cannot find any .usr files on my computer.

[LegacyUG] Legacy "usr" files
Hello again listers, In reference to my last message about my user files: My monthly backup is a full backup of the program to an external drive. The Legacy program is on my D drive so it looks like this: D:\leg usr files D:\Legacy All of these files are backed up along with the data - monthly. So, I deleted the "D:\leg usr files" and copied the "G:\leg usr files" to the D drive. That still did not put my older (and the one I want) user files to the program. What do I do now? Where are the settings that I customized and that I want back? What did I misunderstand about where the files are? Thanks, Myrna Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] user settings
Hi listers and staff, After reading the comments last week about the settings for the index view I finally went to the tab and checked mine out. Well, my columns were okay but the font was way too big for the lines. I tried to change it. Even after 3 or 4 attempts the font would not change so - dumb me - I hit "restore defaults." That changed the font on that one screen but also changed everything else that I had set over the last few years. I don't like it but cannot for the life of me remember how to go back to what I had. Yes, I have backups but don't want to lose the data I have input since doing the restore default - just want my old user settings back. Is there any way to get my old user settings back, Please Thanks, Myrna Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

Re: [LegacyUG] another reason to NOT use HTML
Hi Paul, First of all, listers, please forgive me for my bit--ing. I always forget and if it were not for the fact that I have OE set to send only "plain text" to the list I would still do it. Sometimes I reply to someone and if they sent in HTML then my message replied that way. Even HTML would be fine if people would make the fonts big enough to read. I love HTML messages when I can read them. Now to get back on to Legacy - I am even having a problem with the font sizes on some of the screens because when you enlarge it the lines of print -on the screen - overlap. I have played with different sizes and different fonts and have finally settled on one of each that seem to be the lesser of the evils. So, that is all I am going to say about this matter.

[LegacyUG] another reason to NOT use HTML
Good morning Listers, This morning I was trying to read the messages from the group. Several are still using HTML although it is requested that you NOT use it. Well, another reason to NOT use HTML is me and probably many people like me. I cannot read it. *** Because my mail comes to OE it cannot be enlarged anymore than it is now. When you write in HTML it usually comes as 8 point and too small to read. I have gotten to the point that I just delete it and hope I have not missed anything. PLEASE (yes I am shouting so you can hear me) please, use plain text in a readable size font for us "old fogies" that are having sight problems.

Re: [LegacyUG] [Legacy UG] Help - Searching Internet using"Search Internet for Current Person"
Check the message from Jim Terry on Friday, June 1 @5:48 p.m. Because the link did not completely hyperlink I had to copy to WordPerfect and make it all hyperlink. Then when I copied and pasted it worked perfectly. Myrna Legacy Users, Here is a work around: In Legacy, click Internet on the menu bar and select "Search Internet for Current Person." Next click on the "Customize Searches" button. Click on one of the "Select" buttons (I'd select the one next to the Ancestry.com search) to bring up the Select an Internet Search window.
