[LegacyUG] Previously filled in data shows up blank
Sometimes, if I have left my Legacy database open overnight and come back in the morning, I will click on an individual's card to edit it and all of the fields will be blank. Other times I will be able to see the card but when I click on a filled-out "event" to edit it, all of the previously entered data comes up blank. If I close out of Legacy and reopen it, the type is a fraction of the size it was before I closed it out, but the data that showed up blank does appear. What is happening?

Re: [LegacyUG] Is it just me, or is data entry in Legacy screw wacky
That is not totally true. The vital events, birth, Chr, death and burial event pictures are available and will print in the Family Group Sheet and the Individual reports. These reports have separate areas for each of the vital events and the pictures are placed beside each event in those reports. The difficulty with trying to include vital event pictures in the narrative reports is that the vital events are not listed separately. They are in a summary paragraph about the person. The programmer has said in our test mailing list that he is considering how to add the vital event pictures to the narrative reports but has not found a solution. Such questions as where to place them, after the life paragraph or beside it; and how to handle the variables for picture size, orientation etc. are just some of the problems with including vital event pictures in the narrative reports.

I use it also, but choose to turn it off when I'm working with Legacy. It can take a long time to upload the Legacy file(s), and while doing so you won't have access to the file.

Well, DropBox could have been examining the file to see if it had changed. That's one possibility. Solution: Windows has got its' knickers in a knot.

[LegacyUG] Relationship
Just noticed an odd thing regarding the relationship indication above a persons name in Legacy. On one branch it goes to my gg grandfather but above my gg grandmother there is nothing. When I click on my ggg grandfather's name and bring it up, there is no relationship (to me) above his name or his wife. Does this happen to anyone else on the List and any suggestions. I hope I am getting across what I trying to say, I can't think of any other way to describe what is happening. Apologies if I have not explained this very clearly. Colin.

I think this happens quite often - after adding people. The relationship of newly people isn't automatically calculated. You'll have to re-calculate relationships.

Re: [LegacyUG] Microsoft Jet Database Engine stopped
Thanks for all the suggestions from those who responded. Not that I guess it matters, but I neglected to mention I'm using Legacy 7.4 on Windows 7 Home Premium desktop and Vista Home Premium on the laptop. DROPBOX says all files up-to-date. I've done both a RESTART as well as a SHUT DOWN to no avail. I've not found any .ldb files anywhere. I don't have the opportunity to close/exit Legacy as the message comes up immediately and I only have the options of TRY AGAIN, NO or QUIT. NO or QUIT exits Legacy immediately. I tried copying the Legacy files from the laptop to a thumbdrive and attempted to open the file from the thumbdrive by clicking the "main" Legacy icon and the file opens! So, obviously Legacy itself is working correctly. It seems that the file(s) stored in DROPBOX got corrupted in some manner. Since I've not made any changes to my database I have redundant backups on the laptop, an external HD and not in any particular panic about loosing my file altogether. Just want to be able to get a GOOD version safely back into DROPBOX. Before doing it, and making a bad situation worse, what's the consensus of opinion on this plan? Deleting all the Legacy files in the DROPBOX area; then opening the file from the thumbdrive. From there do a SAVE FAMILY FILE AS the name I'd been using in DROPBOX. This, hopefully, would restore a 'good' copy to DROPBOX. gc On Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:21:06 -0800 Brian Schultz writes: > Dropbox is the likely culprit.

[LegacyUG] Wrong Family
I have been away from the list for a long time so please forgive me if I am off kilter for a while. My question is part general genealogy but also part Legacy. My husband's grandmother immigrated to Hawaii on false papers. I had already entered all the information contained in the huge NARA immigration file which I now find is erroneous. A recently uncovered interview with one of her daughters reveals her true name, her father's true name and the existence of siblings (but no names). So my question is, in Legacy, what do I do with the people (siblings and parents) who were attached to her but which I now know are not her relatives (or possibly quite distant relatives)? I have never had to unlink someone and I'm somewhat nervous. Where do the unlinked ones go? Can I just delete them and give her new parents?

Unlinking ultimately makes that person into a new unattached tree.

Re: [LegacyUG] subscribing
Yes, you are were doing something wrong. Your error is that due to the link wrapping, it got broken. You need to manually paste in the part that reads "80c8a&ml=3&domain=LegacyUsers.com" (without the parenthisis). When you just click on the link you are getting only the first part of the URL (that ends in e02fcd). On the other hand, since this message got posted, your subscription appears to be active so something must have gone through OK.

[LegacyUG] Sourcing FreeBMD and the IGI
I was hoping someone might be able to advise on the best way to record data obtained from FreeBMD and from the IGI. At the moment, when I get BMD info from FreeBMD, I create an event "Birth Registration", "Marriage Resistration" or "Death Registration" with the volume and page numbers in the description, the quarter in the date and the registration district in the location. I then have a single "FreeBMD" source with no detail info, except the date that I recorded the information. I was wondering whether this is the best way, or whether there is a more accepted solution. When I get information from the IGI, the process creates at least one and often several individual sources, all named "International genealogical Index (R)" It would seem more logical to me to have a single IGI source, with all the information from these individual sources going into detail fields. Would this be a more logical approach and, if so, is there any way to achieve it?

Why would the programmers do that, was there a problem with it?

RE: [LegacyUG] Wrong Family
Georgia: Since you've already entered all the data, and since there's a chance these people are related to your husband's grandmother in some way, I would *unlink* your husband's grandmother from the false parents rather than deleting them. This would preserve the source citations and events you've already entered for them and also maintain links from the false parents to their other children. The parents and other children will remain in your database as a separate tree or small family group and you can find them any time from View > Tree Finder. (Click the Refresh button each time you use this handy tool.) If you discover the true relationship later, it will be a simple matter to reattach the family group properly. Of course, you'd also want to add plenty of notes in your database about the discrepancy. Kirsten -Original Message- From: Georgia [mailto:gc...@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 5:24 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Wrong Family I have been away from the list for a long time so please forgive me if I am off kilter for a while. My question is part general genealogy but also part Legacy. My husband's grandmother immigrated to Hawaii on false papers. I had already entered all the information contained in the huge NARA immigration file which I now find is erroneous. A recently uncovered interview with one of her daughters reveals her true name, her father's true name and the existence of siblings (but no names). So my question is, in Legacy, what do I do with the people (siblings and parents) who were attached to her but which I now know are not her relatives (or possibly quite distant relatives)? I have never had to unlink someone and I'm somewhat nervous. Where do the unlinked ones go? Can I just delete them and give her new parents?
