Hi Jill,

Just looked up Cherokee Co Iowa on my Animap program and it was established
in 1851.

Hi Jill,

 

On the first point, I have not had a lot of luck changing the preposition
from "in" to "of" in the Master Location list and have gone back to "in."
There just is no help for it.  It is generally understood that "of" means at
some time the person was located in or associated with the location preceded
by the word "of."

 

On the second point, there is indeed a place called Cherokee, Iowa, and
RootsWeb Townsearch confirms Cherokee, Iowa is in Cherokee County.  I didn't
go so far as to research when Cherokee County, Iowa was established.  --

I have inherited my Mother's genealogy.  I have transferred it from PAF to
Legacy and have been working on cleaning it up.  In the USA County
Verification, I have 188 pgs.  I find that most of the problems are:
  1)She put "Of Cherokee, Iowa" or something similar in the location.  There
is no County called "Of Cherokee".  How is the best way to change this?  I
notice there is the preposition that you can change in the Master Location
List.  Would I make a location titled Prep: Of and then put the location?  I
am concerned if I do this, when look at the person's data, I won't  know if
it means In Cherokee or Of Cherokee.

  2) Other entries she put "Cherokee?, Iowa"  There is not a County called
"Cherokee?".  I am assuming she meant "Did they come from Cherokee?
Possibly, but not sure"  Is there a better way to data input that so it
won't be on the County Verification list?

I appreciate anyone's ideas so I can get this list to a manageable size to
work with.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[R G Strong Genealogy]

Jill here is the info from the Legacy help file on "Sort Location List:

Location Prepositions

Oftentimes you or others will find and enter location names with a preceding 
preposition such as "of," or "near."  Many locations are recorded in this 
manner.  Normally these prepositions cause the location names to be displayed 
in different places in the Master Location List.  For example, "Barcelona, 
Spain" and "of Barcelona, Spain" sort toward the beginning and the middle of 
the list. 



While viewing the Master Location List in sorted order, you can have the 
prepositions removed so that all locations that are alike are displayed 
together.  To do this, select the option: Remove common prepositions from 
locations at the bottom of the window.  Note:  This only removes the 
prepositions in the sorted view of the list.  They are not removed from the 
actual location names.  All printed and displayed place names throughout the 
rest of the program include the prepositions.



Note: The prepositions recognized by Legacy are contained in a file called 
Prepositions.lst kept in the folder where Legacy was installed.   Click here to 
see the default list of prepositions and how to add to or edit this file.



Estimated Locations

Many of your locations might have angle brackets around them.  For example, 
.  While viewing in sorted order you can have the leading 
brackets removed so that the location will sort together with their unbracketed 
counterparts.  To do this, select the option: Remove Leading Bracket from 
 locations.  This only removes the opening bracket from the location 
in the sorted view of the list.  The trailing bracket is left at the end of the 
location so you can tell that it is an estimated location.



5-58  



Hope this answers your question.



You can get to that by opening your master location list and click on the Sort 
button and the Sort Location List box will pop up.



I use the  to show estimated locations. 

if I have somebody that was listed as Of someplace I usually put that in the 
birth notes location.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Susan Daily]

Jill,
After I inherited a genealogy done like that, I moved the "of
Placename" to a residence event, and did not leave it in the birth or
death fields. This way when I print a report, it shows she lived
there.

For your question mark locations, you might consider doing something
like this. Move the location to a residence event, then edit the
sentence wording for that particular individual's event only to add
the word "maybe" or "probably", so it would say "She probably resided
in Placename." If it is a birth location, this is trickier, because
you don't want wrong information perpetuated. Since my whole goal for
my data is to (a) output results to a book and (b) share the basic
data online at Rootsweb's WorldConnect for others to look for
connections, I would probably leave the birth location empty and add a
birth note that would say "She was probably born in Placename, but her
birth record has not yet been found." I don't publish my notes to my
Worldconnect tree.

Hope these ideas might get you thinking of other ways to handle the data.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Ann Parsons]

Hi Sherry,

I use [for example] probably Oakland County, Michigan [I know they died in 
Michigan, and I think probably was in Oakland County]. This triggers the county 
verifier. If I was to change the Master Location wouldn't it change everyone 
that I know for sure was died , Oakland County, Michigan? I think I once tried 
this and that is what happened. I understand I cannot change the preposition to 
probably, on that thought changing in to of would that change even those you 
wanted left with preposition in? I would, as always, appreciate your thoughts 
on this.

  The best way (and easiest) to change a location is to go to the Master

  Hi Jill, if I am reading your first question correctly the word "of" appears

  with the address in the location box and you want to get rid of the word 
  "of", if this is the case then you can go to the top of your screen and 
  select search>search and replace, in the "find where" box click the button 
  on the right side and scroll down then select "Lists-Location"; in the "Find

  What" box enter "of" without the ""; in the "Replacement Text" box leave ths

  blank, now click the start button. The search and replace screen will come 
  up, when is locates a location with the word "of" in it make sure that the 
  replacement line reads what you want before you click the replace button 
  because some locations  may start with Of in them, an example is Offaly, 
  Ireland. You would not want it to read faly, Ireland. I hope this works for 
  you.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Sandra Tyler Duncan]

This is probably not what you think that you want but here goes anyway. I 
once had a pile of pictures to scan into my computer and I actually thought 
that I would never get it done but I just started with the first picture and 
went at it one by one and in what seemed like 4 short months I was done. I 
might add that in October 198 I had a massive stroke that pretty much paralyzed 
most of my left side. I never hardly ever give up on things. 
Then shortly after I had issues with LEGACY and my computer at least 3 
crash times and the locations were in such a mess that I decided to go through 
them one by one until all were EXACTLY as I wanted each and every one. I knew 
that if I wanted it a  certain way, I would have to do it one by one until it 
got done  it took me six months besides the other non computer stuff that 
filled my time, but I now have the perfect location list [[FOR ME]] and I could 
not be happier, my motto is whatever it takes.
Hope this helps
Sandra

NOTE: besides curing the "OF" question for me , I was also able to fix other 
errors that any other cure would have missed, you are blessed to have your 
mother's genealogy. All of mine is my own creation

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Alice McVearry]

Hi Jill,

I don't let the County Verifier drive how I enter my place names.  In fact
I found it so annyoing I am not using it at all just now.  Like you I
inherited someone else's genealogy and there was a lot of  what I call
"freehand" in it, like "near Eulala" or "west of North Platt."  Research
has allowed me to pin down some of those broadly brushed locations.  In the
meantime I am leaving them just as they were in the original researcher's
notes.  Later on when I am more certain of locations I may enlist the help
of the County Verifier.  

Your mother did the best she could to assign a location, and if I were you
I would not change that very much.  She may have had certain meanings to
how she entered the data.  Do you see a pattern in the use of the question
marks, or do you think she just randomly used them to indicate she was
unsure?  If you think it is random, then for the time being I would make a
place name called "of , , Cherokee, Iowa" as you suggested and use that as
the place name for all the uncertain place names of that location,
especially if it is not clear whether she was referring to the town of
Cherokee, or the county of Cherokee.  The use of commas as place holders
for the town name will be very useful later on when you begin to make full
use of the Locations Master List. Once you get your data base cleaned up
you can go to work on all those who have been assigned "of , , Cherokee,
Iowa" or any of the other locations where your mother was unsure.  

I absolutely think use of the word "of" to indicate uncertainty is the way
to go.  -- Alice

Hi Alice,
I got three responses.  Yours was the closest to what I am looking for but
not exactly.  I am aware that "of" means at some point they were there. 
For instance, we may not know a person was born in a particular place, but
we know they were from that area.  If I put it in as ", Of Cherokee, Iowa",
shows up on the County Verifier as not a valid place.  Possibly the best
thing to do would be to change it to be "of, [county name], state" or "of ,
,[county name], state" to indicate that I do not know the town.  Then it
would no longer be listed as an problem in the County Verifier.  What do
you think?

Regarding my second question.  I believe my mother's intention when putting
Cherokee?, Iowa in the location, was that she thought they may have been
there, but wasn't sure.  This is the case with several county names (and
towns), not just Cherokee.  I used Cherokee as an example.  So if you think
someone is from a certain place, but not sure, how is the best way to
indicate that in the location box, so it does not come up as a problem in
the County Verifier.  Or is there a better way to indicate you are not sure?

Thank you for your thoughts and assistance.

Hi Jill,
Both my parents sides for many generations are from Cherokee, Iowa, which is

Cherokee is a small town and most of the families are related in some way.
Please feel free to contact me directly and I'm sure I can help you out or may

  Subject: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification


  I have inherited my Mother's genealogy.  I have transferred it from PAF to 
Legacy and have been working on cleaning it up.  In the USA County 
Verification, I have 188 pgs.  I find that most of the problems are:
1)She put "Of Cherokee, Iowa" or something similar in the location.  There 
is no County called "Of Cherokee".  How is the best way to change this?  I 
notice there is the preposition that you can change in the Master Location 
List.  Would I make a location titled Prep: Of and then put the location?  I am 
concerned if I do this, when look at the person's data, I won't  know if it 
means In Cherokee or Of Cherokee.

2) Other entries she put "Cherokee?, Iowa"  There is not a County called 
"Cherokee?".  I am assuming she meant "Did they come from Cherokee?  Possibly, 
but not sure"  Is there a better way to data input that so it won't be on the 
County Verification list?

  I appreciate anyone's ideas so I can get this list to a manageable size to 
work with.

  Thanks,
  Jill King

RE: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[gtempleman1]

I am new enough to Legacy that I haven't done this, but in other programs, 
search and replace can generally avoid the fealy, Ireland problem by including 
the space in the search box. Or even include the following word, for example 
search for [Of Cherokee] and replace with [Cherokee] (brackets for my emphasis).

[Sandra Tyler Duncan]

I was told that my father-in-law was born in Cherokee territory but as the 
years passed and I got more proficient with genealogy, I found him in the 
census and to have been born in Pratt City, Pratt County, Kansas and until I 
found out the truth I had him listed  as of Cherokee territory and I did it as 
an update so that my original find would still show [[I like seeing where I 
have been]]

Hope this helps 
Thank you so much

  I would not change the "Of Cherokee" entries just because there was no county 
called "Of Cherokee."The "Of" means that the person lived there at some 
point, but whether she was born and/or died there was not known when the entry 
was made.For instance, you might find a person on a census record for a 
particular place, but have no source as to where she was born or died.   For 
people whose actual place of birth or death is known, leave out the "Of."   But 
if you take it out for across the board, it degrades the accuracy of the data. 

  There have been discussions before on trying to change the preposition in the 
location list.   There doesn't seem to be a good way to do it.

  As to the question mark, it probably means that your mother did not have a 
source for that location, but thought it was right.  Some people enter "Prob 
Cherokee," when there is some uncertainty about the location.   

  I would not let the county verification tool or the location list take over 
your effort to have a reasonably accurate record.

RE: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

Would the program recognize the location better if it was recorded as "Of 
Cherokee, Cherokee, Iowa" or "of ,Cherokee, Iowa" depending on whether the 
reference was to the town or county?

Hi Jill,

On the first point, I have not had a lot of luck changing the preposition from 
"in" to "of" in the Master Location list and have gone back to "in."  There 
just is no help for it.  It is generally understood that "of" means at some 
time the person was located in or associated with the location preceded by the 
word "of."

On the second point, there is indeed a place called Cherokee, Iowa, and 
RootsWeb Townsearch confirms Cherokee, Iowa is in Cherokee County.  I didn't go 
so far as to research when Cherokee County, Iowa was established.  -- Alice

The best way (and easiest) to change a location is to go to the Master
Location List (View > Master Lists), locate the location that you want to
change and click on Edit - make the change there.

Hi Jill, if I am reading your first question correctly the word "of" appears

with the address in the location box and you want to get rid of the word 
"of", if this is the case then you can go to the top of your screen and 
select search>search and replace, in the "find where" box click the button 
on the right side and scroll down then select "Lists-Location"; in the "Find

What" box enter "of" without the ""; in the "Replacement Text" box leave ths

blank, now click the start button. The search and replace screen will come 
up, when is locates a location with the word "of" in it make sure that the 
replacement line reads what you want before you click the replace button 
because some locations  may start with Of in them, an example is Offaly, 
Ireland. You would not want it to read faly, Ireland. I hope this works for 
you.

Re: [LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Jill King]

Hi Alice,
I got three responses.  Yours was the closest to what I am looking for but not 
exactly.  I am aware that "of" means at some point they were there.  For 
instance, we may not know a person was born in a particular place, but we know 
they were from that area.  If I put it in as ", Of Cherokee, Iowa", shows up on 
the County Verifier as not a valid place.  Possibly the best thing to do would 
be to change it to be "of, [county name], state" or "of , ,[county name], 
state" to indicate that I do not know the town.  Then it would no longer be 
listed as an problem in the County Verifier.  What do you think?

Regarding my second question.  I believe my mother's intention when putting 
Cherokee?, Iowa in the location, was that she thought they may have been there, 
but wasn't sure.  This is the case with several county names (and towns), not 
just Cherokee.  I used Cherokee as an example.  So if you think someone is from 
a certain place, but not sure, how is the best way to indicate that in the 
location box, so it does not come up as a problem in the County Verifier.  Or 
is there a better way to indicate you are not sure?

Thank you for your thoughts and assistance.
Jill King

[LegacyUG] U.S. County Verification

[Jill King]

I have inherited my Mother's genealogy.  I have transferred it from PAF to 
Legacy and have been working on cleaning it up.  In the USA County 
Verification, I have 188 pgs.  I find that most of the problems are:
  1)She put "Of Cherokee, Iowa" or something similar in the location.  There is 
no County called "Of Cherokee".  How is the best way to change this?  I notice 
there is the preposition that you can change in the Master Location List.  
Would I make a location titled Prep: Of and then put the location?  I am 
concerned if I do this, when look at the person's data, I won't  know if it 
means In Cherokee or Of Cherokee.

  2) Other entries she put "Cherokee?, Iowa"  There is not a County called 
"Cherokee?".  I am assuming she meant "Did they come from Cherokee?  Possibly, 
but not sure"  Is there a better way to data input that so it won't be on the 
County Verification list?

I appreciate anyone's ideas so I can get this list to a manageable size to work 
with.

Thanks,
Jill King
