RE: [LegacyUG] Credibility analysis of evidence
Hi Carol To be honest, I have no idea no what the programming ramifications would be. From my limited knowledge of computing, presumably a related table in the database which, as I suggested, would link to the name, event, circumstance or whatever rather than the source. But maybe this is not possible and, unless anyone has any other ideas, I suspect that the bottom line is for me to use either the event's notes field or the relevant individual's research notes for what I had in mind.

Re: [LegacyUG] Credibility analysis of evidence
As a newbie, I've not played with the surety, but this thread got me interested enough to check it out, and see how it could be used to do what is desired here. With a range of 0-4 only, it seems too limited to be made to fit. Having the ability to use your own numbers system could be better. But I've an idea, it's a general coding trick, and could apply to ratings systems in general. Decide how many digits your ratings system needs, for example we'll say three digits each for your three questions to represent 0 to 100%. (Note, 3 digits may be too many 0-9 may be a fine system). So i = 999, ii =999, and iii = 999. You can string these together, with a space between or not (its up to you), to make a nine digit number, call it the Evidence Explained Surety Number (EESN = 999 999 999). If you can follow that, then perhaps you could keep a small summary in your Source Detail comments box like so: m. 025 025 025 b. 075 050 060 d. 100 099 002 etc. Commence with dart throwing On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 6:02 AM, Nick Ingham nicking...@btinternet.comwrote: Hi Carol To be honest, I have no idea no what the programming ramifications would be.

Re: [LegacyUG] HowTo get report of those buried in a specific location?
Try tagging the results of the search list generated by searching for individuals whose burial place contains Oklahoma. Then go to Individual Report and choose the individuals you just tagged as the record selection. Check the first box under the Include tab that says Addr for birth, chr., death, bur., marr. and include any other information that you want. This will produce a list of all the individuals whose burial place contains Oklahoma. If the burial addresses have been entered, they will be printed too. Persons buried in Oklahoma whose burial addresses have not been entered will also be printed. Each individual's information will be on a separate page. I don't know if it is possible to combine these reports in such a way to reduce paper usage. Emily In a message dated 2/27/2010 10:25:58 A.M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships beyond of marriage
Hi Thomas, What is the prefered way to enter two people who live together and have children, but are not married? Is there a way to enter such a relationship beyond of marriage? With the children getting the last name of the mother? In the Marriage Information you can tick the box This couple did not marry. Also in the Marriage Information, you can select a Status to reflect a term of your preference - for my partner/other half/not-quite-husband (who I have not married but lived with for 21 years now) and myself, I've got Common Law selected. I can't remember if that was already there or if I added it. You can add any term you like. Further down in the Marriage Information window, you can alter the wording on reports if you don't like how it appears. Surnames can be over-ridden, so for those children who took the mother's surname just type in the name they are known/registered as. If they are known by both surnames, you can add the other as an AKA. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard (listening to tsunami warnings and progress around the Pacific Ocean on the radio, following an earthquake in Chile - http://www.radionz.co.nz/ ) -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

This will produce a list of all the individuals whose burial place contains Oklahoma. If the burial addresses have been entered, they will be printed too. Persons buried in Oklahoma whose burial addresses have not been entered will also be printed. Each individual's information will be on a separate page.

Jerry Jerry, Yes but make sure that you have backed up your .fdb file first, particular since it involves a change in file structure, so you cannot go back. You would be able to restore your V5 .fdb back up to a new V5 installation though. Ron Ferguson Thanks, Ron. Is the .fdb file the one that's backed up when I do a regular backup? I'm basically wanting to create a PDF file to send to a relative in Denmark. If version 5 will do that, then there'd be no need to convert to version 7.

RE: [LegacyUG] Reports adding word someone AND the person's name
Tom: I had this problem a year or so ago. As I recall, it happened when I added one person and a marriage date before entering the spouse's name. This triggered the someone in the software. Adding the spouse's name then didn't replace the someone but only added the name with the result you're seeing. I eventually cleared it--probably by deleting and re-entering the spouse and marriage date. There is a thread on the problem in the pre-Nov 2009 archives with a subject line of Margaret Married Someone. Fortunately it only happens occasionally and apparently only under fairly unusual circumstances.
