Findagravel.com is a wonderful way to maybe find the graves of your
ancestors and should you know where they are buried you can share that
on the site.

  I also just realized that it is a great way to see if changes are also needed 
at Find a Grave.  

  Say you recieved some new info on a person, such as a missing birth date.  
You enter it in Legacy, and you can instantly see that you have an entry at 
Find a Grave, You can go on line right then and there, and make the new entry 
at findagrave at the same time.  (I often work with split screen and windows 
resized to fit ... with the internet on the left and Legacy on the right)

Family Group numbering system?
While I was brushing my teeth it occurred to me that there's a 
difference in how we're using this system.  I think you're only 
working with paper documents (?) and trying to file them according 
to MRIN and family lines, so you have something like this in your 
numbering: H-139, B-140, K-141 so you have a shortcut to which 
'book' you've filed the papers in.  I'm linking digital copies of 
documents into Legacy and therefore need the MRIN + extension to 
distinguish one document from another, so it looks like 0139-01, 
0139-02, 0139-03.  Unless you're distinguishing individual documents 
one from another, not just MRIN's, it won't help to quote these 
numbers in reports, therefore there's no reason to have them in the 
File ID fields. At least not for that reason.  Til another sun ...

Cathy,

You could have both.  The handy part about having the File ID's in 
the source citations is that if you ever want to mail out a chart to 
some-one with the accompanying source documents, they can easily 
match things up by number.
I rarely look at my paper files since I scanned most everything, and 
those are the copies in my Source Library that are linked into Legacy.
From time to time I have reason to look at those, although the 
contents, where possible, are also added to Source Detail Text 
and/or Source Detail Picture, which I can see at a glance in the 
Assigned Sources windows.  Being nothing if not compulsive, I also 
spent most of the Christmas holidays, up to the point where I put 
my back out of joint shoveling too much snow, adding IPTC keywords 
to every single digital source document in my Library.  One never

find something if I ever want to.

looking at the File ID, but it is a quick way to see the family

project of reorganizing the paper files, I'm not sure how often 
I'll need to know where the paper documents are stored.  This may 
just be handy now but rarely used in the "normal course of

Re: [LegacyUG] Use for USER ID numbers

2009-01-04 Thread Cathy Vallevieni 

JL:

There is an option on most (or maybe all) reports to print the User 
ID next to the name (just like the RIN).  It also can be displayed on 
the Main Screen instead of the RIN.  Not sure it's better than 
looking at the File ID, but it is a quick way to see the family line 
and the location of the paper files.  When I'm done with my project 
of reorganizing the paper files, I'm not sure how often I'll need to

Re: [LegacyUG] Use for USER ID numbers

2009-01-04 Thread JLB 
I thought that was what the File ID field is for.  After you cite a 
source and the Source Detail Box comes up, there's a field called File 
ID.  There's also a small magnifier next to it for finding the next one 
in order.  Did I forget to mention that before?

Well, hate to keep flogging a dead horse, but wasn't it Geoff Rasmussen 
who came up with the MRIN Filing System?  Also disaster for anyone who's 
adopted it if the MRIN's need renumbering.

I also post to findagrave.com and I've set a tag for everyone that is 
on findagrave.com.  That way, if I have that tag showing in the main 
screen, I can immediately see if they are on findagrave.com or I can 
use the search function to create a list of everyone I have (or have 
not) posted.

I also just realized that it is a great way to see if changes are also
needed at Find a Grave.

Say you recieved some new info on a person, such as a missing birth date.
You enter it in Legacy, and you can instantly see that you have an entry at
Find a Grave, You can go on line right then and there, and make the new
entry at findagrave at the same time.  (I often work with split screen and
windows resized to fit ... with the internet on the left and Legacy on the
right)

Allison,

What a great idea!  I've just learned the value of the Find a Grave
number, as that is the info needed to make relationship links in Find
a Grave.  This is a good way to track your work, particularly if
you're not using the User ID field for anything else (and I was not.)

[LegacyUG] Use for USER ID numbers

I just realized I could put that extra USER ID field to good use.  When I
post info for someone to findagrave.com I put the Find A Grave Memorial # in
the User ID field.

Death Date & Place
Burial Date & Place
