[LegacyUG] Updating descendant chart
I am a very new user of Legacy and Legacy Charting. To cut my teeth I am preparing a descendant chart for a friend's family reunion but am striking a very basic problem. I have the chart very nicely set up, but then the friend tells me that one individual has a husband and we have missed him out. So...we add the gentleman as married to this lady in Legacy, go back to the chart, click on Refresh, but he stubbornly refuses to appear. What am I getting wrong here? :-) Secondly, is it possible to change the Charting program from USA measurements to metric? I am sure it must be but am blowed if I can find it Many thanks, Max.

RE: [LegacyUG] Squished Popup Box Pictures
Agreed. And you actually don't have to go to the Pedigree tab to "fix" the popup box. Resize the entire Legacy window from anything other than minimized or maximized and the popup window returns to its normal size. It then appears to remain normal even if you then go back to a maximized window. Obviously, the popup window size and font size are not being properly calculated when Legacy is first started in a maximized window. For those that can't duplicate the problem, you may not be starting Legacy in a maximized window. Go ahead and maximize the window, exit Legacy, and restart the program so that it re-opens in its last window size of maximized. You should now see the problem.

[LegacyUG] Analyze Data/Sources
I have written a new program that analyzes the sources/data in my Legacy DB. It will check to see if data is missing, sources are missing or if some of the items in a source are missing. The program gives a report of the data/sources that are missing and allows you to print it or load it into a spreadsheet via a CSV file. In my research, one of the branches of my family is from Finland. There is an excellent web site that has images of many of the church records from the late 1600s/early 1700s to the late 1800s online. When I find a page containing an ancestor (or ancestor relative), I download the image to my computer. In the detail source record I place a transciption of the relatives record into the 'Enter the actual Source Text (optional)' on the 'Test/Comment' tab. The image is attached to the 'Multimedia' tab. The web address that points at the actual page is cut and pasted into the 'Enter any comments about this Citation (optional)' on the 'Test/Comment' tab. On the master source for this detail source, I have a web address to the home page of the website which lead to all of the parishes in Finland. There can be many books for each Parish so having the direct address to the actual image in the Source detail helps. The Legacy Source program checks to make sure I haven't goofed by forgetting to attach an image or fill in a field. If you are interested in the program, you can download it from the following website: http://sites.google.com/site/promanowiczsite/legacy-sources Any comments, problems or suggestions, please send them to me directly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Questionable children
Terri, Status is not one of my most used tools, in fact I only use it in specific circumstances, such as adopted, or step when there are special reasons for so doing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Questionable children
Ron, If a status of "Challenged" is created for the Child Status it will show up on the Family tab if your options are set to show the status. But you are correct, there is no other way to alert that this is a "challenged" line. I usually keep a separate database of of questionable individuals. For the same reason - so I don't forget. I only have 3 "challenged" individuals in my master file. They were moved from my unknown file when sufficient circumstantial evidence was collected to support my decision. I make their status "challenged" because the evidence is only circumstantial. I must say, though, I never thought to use the ToDo list for keeping track of questionable relationships. I'll have to think about that and try it out. Do you use simply a general ToDo or do you attach a ToDo to the parents?

Re: [LegacyUG] script error
I was given just 2 options---keep the script running or stop it. Both led back to the options being offered again. My only way out was to poise the cursor over the close button, hit the escape key and immediately click close. No error # was given but later I caught a glimpse of Error 3420 which is unlisted.

RE: [LegacyUG] Questionable children
I have a suggestion, attach the questionable children to the family that they grew up living with, using the family surname if that is what they used. They may have been adopted, a grandchild raised as their own child, who knows. At the end of the surname use privacy brackets with a brief note like: Smith [[may not be their biological child]], this will show up in your legacy screen, your surname list, and when printing reports you can choose to print or not print privacy items. In the person's general notes under the Research tab, you could note the need for more research or as Ron stated list it in the ToDo list.
