[LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Hi all, I'm here plugging away at my genealogy data entry. I have two questions related to one another. I am trying to find a way to do an ancestor tree (graphical) that shows the siblings of my ancestors on the same tree. I couldn't find a way to do it on Legacy, and then through to try out the charting program. I did an ancestor standard tree on there, and though it looks nice, I still can't find a way to list siblings on there either. My first question is, is there a way to do a visual ancestor tree which includes siblings? Then, in my attempt to find out if I could do this in charting, I clicked on the help button, and then on the "help system" button and it brought up a BLANK html window with no text. Where did the help manual go within charting? I also don't know how to go about checking for updates and updating charting when necessary. Thanks for your help!

Your other problem is rather more difficult. The siblings are not included, of course, because they are not ancestors. I cannot see how this can be done in Charting, as the obvious way is to create an fdb file with just the people you want, but you would then have to create a descendant chart for multiple people and Charting cannot do this.

[LegacyUG] Advice on Sourcing of marriage record
[My apologies that this won't thread properly, but I'm still having to read the list in the archives]. The Missouri Marriage Record images at Ancestry are problematic, IMO, because Ancestry has not given enough information as to what we are looking at. Yes, they are apparently using State Archives microfilm (they don't tell us which microfilm), but it is microfilm of record books maintained at the county, and they don't tell us which record book. Sometimes, it is possible by browsing through the images to figure it out, and when it is, I include that. I ended up citing the database, not the images per se, because it is such a mess. I used the generic online database template. Examples: "Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002," database, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 22 Aug 2009), Nathaniel Gilmore and Mary E. Hancock; with images of Jasper Co. Marriage Book C, p. 152 (stamped) from Missouri State Archives microfilm. "Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002," database, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 16 Aug 2009), for Zadock Douthat and Thirza M. Hancock; images from Missouri State Archives microfilm of Newton Co. marriage records are provided, but they are nearly illegible. Janis, if you're still monitoring this list, would you chime in here? I know you struggled with this some time ago, but I'm not sure how you resolved it. I'm not so interested in whether you used a template, but what your final source citation to these particular Ancestry images looks like.

For some counties, the images are almost impossible to read, so my information is coming more from the database than the image. In other locations, it is impossible to determine the volume and page number (and as a result, it is the database, not the images, that is telling me the marriage occurred in XYZ county). In still others, I can't tell for sure whether it is a register or some other format. I therefore decided it was safer to cite the database than the image. I can't remember my exact reasoning at the time but it was probably some combination of the following: (1) This alerts me that I need to do more to find the original record than I might ordinarily do with other images. (2) I'm a "lumper" to the extent possible, and I didn't want to have a separate Master Source for each county. I just wanted one master source: "Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002." (3) I must not have liked how the citation looked when I used the marriage template.

RE: [LegacyUG] Advice on Sourcing of marriage record
Jenny: I'd also use the SourceWriter Marriage template that you mentioned, but I see a nice feature about Connie's format in that it treats the title of the record set as the lead element whereas the SourceWriter template doesn't. The second example is part of a similar citation generated by SourceWriter.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Hi Ron, Hmm... I'm surprised there's no one that has ever tried this. I do of course want the focus to be on my ancestors, so I don't want the sibling families... just the siblings listed along side my ancestor. My reasoning is because I need a visual way to see the relation between many people with same or similar names. Raymond, Raymond J., etc. Any ideas at all about how to accomplish this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Dawn, I don't think it is a case of nobody having tried it, indeed I can remember similar sorts of requests over the years. It can be done in html, but I can't think of a way of doing it for a chart/printing. Someone else may have an idea though. It may be possible to create the html and use another program to transfer that to, say, a pdf format, but I have never tried this.

Then go to File > Export to > Legacy File, Give it a name and then check "all records with an individual tag of " your tag number. Use this file to produce your chart.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Ron and Dawn I realised what I did. I made a Descendant chart of the earliest ancestor with the particular surname ( Dawn I think, was wanting ancestors and siblings with same surname). You still need to make the new file from tagged entries as mentioned before and use that. You would need to do it for each name that she was following. Sorry to be confusing.

Re: [BULK] RE: [LegacyUG] Advice on Sourcing of marriage record
Sherry, I really like the way that you are sourcing the marriage records for Missouri that are on Ancestry. If you had researched and found the marriage license and marriage at the courthouse of record, how would you source. I am new at this and am interested in how others are sourcing data. I have several sources that I have obtained at nearby courthouses and am not sure how to source them. Thanks. Oh by the way, all of these records are recorded at the Probate Office in large hardback books. Pat Patricia Thomas-Hill tris...@bellsouth.net From: S.

[LegacyUG] Extra Comma
Hi List, I seem to remember that with the initial release of version 7 there were a lot of issues with the source writer templates and extra commas when certain fields weren’t filled in. I don't seem to notice that anymore generally so I am assuming that they have been mostly fixed? If so, is there a way to submit bug reports because I have found a spare comma in the IGI template when no title is entered but a batch number is, a comma appears before the batch number.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Help window blank
Patricia I am not surprised that you are confused. All I produced was a direct line descendant chart with siblings from one earliest male ancestor.

I thought that Dawn was interested in those with the same surnames. Judy Patricia wrote Judy, I am a little confused or missing something in your reply to Dawn. I understand creating the new file, but then how do I use the charting to produce the file with all ancestors and their siblings? All I have been able to get is the ancestors. Patricia Thomas-Hill Dawn I use Charting and my help file comes up fine. To check for updates click on "Tips & Updates" (the last item on the Charting toolbar ribbon) As regards the chart you want In Legacy tag all ancestors on an unused tag (Family View.> Edit > Tag records) . Then on the second screen Check Direct line Ancestors Also if you want them, check "Include other spouses" and "spouses of siblings". Then go to File > Export to > Legacy File, Give it a name and then check "all records with an individual tag of " your tag number. Use this file to produce your chart. It takes longer to write than do! Judy You wrote I am trying to find a way to do an ancestor tree (graphical) that shows the siblings of my ancestors on the same tree. I couldn't find a way to do it on Legacy, and then through to try out the charting program. I did an ancestor standard tree on there, and though it looks nice, I still can't find a way to list siblings on there either. My first question is, is there a way to do a visual ancestor tree which includes siblings? Then, in my attempt to find out if I could do this in charting, I clicked on the help button, and then on the "help system" button and it brought up a BLANK html window with no text. Where did the help manual go within charting? I also don't know how to go about checking for updates and updating charting when necessary. Thanks for your help!
