In fact, checking on one or two Long ones, shows that I also make use of the long-used GPO abbreviations for county names. I can't think of any other term to denominate the shortened county names, so GPO will have to do. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?
Hi James, I am actually first a life story writer and second a genealogist, so your question is dear to my heart. If you don't already use it for something, the obvious answer is the notes sections for individuals, where you have plenty of space. Me personally, I leave the stories out of my genealogy program, and rather use another writing program for that. Ever hear of the TheJournal? GREAT application, lots of flexibility for all kinds of writing, and yet also simple to use. I am not a front person for the creator, just a VERY satisfied customer. The owner, David has phenomenal customer service through his yahoo group. check out his website at www DOT davidrm DOT com. Although I still input all my stories in my journal, I have appreciated the addition of the interview questions in Legacy, and they have already helped me with an interview I did recently. Hope all this helps!

Something like you describe could be written up outside of Legacy as an account or report of church activities. This can then be regarded as a source document and cited in the usual way in Legacy. In other words create your own source.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?
Thanks all, good stuff so far. Richard - Why no source, every story would have at least a personal reference, even if that is you, right? Dawn - I have not heard of TheJournal, but will check it out. Rita - Yes, Note is obvious, but some cons is that all notes are contained there with a big long string of source citation references. My thinking this may not be as clean as I'd like. Of course, using Events may have cons as well, for instance I'd probably only want these special events to show on narrative reports, not FGS. I'll have to play with both ideas and see. Jenny - I don't understand because one might have numerous notes, each with a different Source, I indicate briefly alongside the note which one is relevant means. Which one *what* is relevant? Isn't that what the superscript source citations numbers do, tell you which source is relevant? Lional Dawn - What does make the narrative less bitty mean? I am thinking one would want this sort of writeup to be included in the narrative of the report *somewhere*, and not buried in the source citations. I also have these sorts of stories to include, and have not found a way to include them. Attaching as events to individuals does not sound right to me. In the publishing center, there is an option to include a custom text page (not sure what it's called exactly, it's not in front of me right now). That might work for this, but could only be included *between* reports and not embedded within say a descendant narrative.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding second spouse as blank record (both given and surname unknown)
Add the child as an unlinked person. Then bring that child on the Family View as the main person. Right-click them and select Add-Father. Select the father that you already have. I believe that will give you a new marriage of the Father to an unknown person, with the child as their child. On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 9:33 PM, Scott Hall seh0...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. I am a new user of Legacy, and have come across a challenge I can't figure out. If one doesn't know an ancestor's parents, Legacy will use a blank record, thus enabling me to enter siblings even though no parent appears.

I'd rather not clutter my file with records of Unknowns and like that Legacy uses blank records. So, if I want to enter this child, how do I do it? When I try, Legacy keeps trying to link the child to the ancestor's first wife. I hope I'm being clear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?
In some events I actually state myself as Source, but have not created a source (yet), but may finalize it later. Laziness or indescision or other?

Richard - Why no source, every story would have at least a personal reference, even if that is you, right? Dawn - I have not heard of TheJournal, but will check it out. Rita - Yes, Note is obvious, but some cons is that all notes are contained there with a big long string of source citation references. My thinking this may not be as clean as I'd like. Of course, using Events may have cons as well, for instance I'd probably only want these special events to show on narrative reports, not FGS. I'll have to play with both ideas and see. Jenny - I don't understand because one might have numerous notes, each with a different Source, I indicate briefly alongside the note which one is relevant means. Which one *what* is relevant? Isn't that what the superscript source citations numbers do, tell you which source is relevant? Lional Dawn - What does make the narrative less bitty mean? I am thinking one would want this sort of writeup to be included in the narrative of the report *somewhere*, and not buried in the source citations. I also have these sorts of stories to include, and have not found a way to include them. Attaching as events to individuals does not sound right to me. In the publishing center, there is an option to include a custom text page (not sure what it's called exactly, it's not in front of me right now). That might work for this, but could only be included *between* reports and not embedded within say a descendant narrative.

Ah, I understood when you said 'that's exactly what I do' you were referring to my idea of using custom events for stories, but I now understand you are saying you lump stories in an Individual's Notes section.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?
Hi James, Here are a few examples that I have, similar to yours and how I deal with these tidbits. One is from a history that was put together by a relative about a great-grandmother. Here is my example for that: ORAL TIDBITS, HISTORY, INTERVIEWS: Agnes says that at one time Emily lived in Cobbleskill, New York - a mountainous area. Once, when Emily was sitting on her front porch with her baby, Mary Ellen, in her arms, a flash flood washed them away. The baby drowned, but Emily was found later - alive, and hanging by her hair from a tree. The family said that Emily was never the same after that. Agnes remembers her as a strange acting old lady who always wore a bandage on her hand. Say this is written by Ruth Smith. Right now I have this added in the Notes section for Emily only (not Mary Ellen), because for me, I want to verify more information first. But it can also be added as an Event, which I might create as Flood since many in history experienced floods that were quite devastating and it might not be the first time I find that type of fact for a person. Then I create a source in the Master Source List for Personal Knowledge and use Ruth Smith. I add that source to the Source Clipboard. Then, whether you decide to add the information to your Notes or to an Event that you create, you can attach the source you just created to either one. When the Citation Detail screen pops up, there is a spot for adding who this person is and you can put something like, Ruth Smith is this relationship to so and so. I like doing this for a few reasons: 1. If the story/tidbit from that person is about more than one individual, it allows you to add that person as a source for other information as well. (Say Ruth also provided me with some names and dates in a conversation, aside from the history she provided in notes). 2. Since the template is already there in SourceWriter (Personal Knowledge), I find it works well for lots of tidbits I get from various relatives. You can also rate the source (Surety Levels) which works well for something like personal knowledge, which can vary from person to person in truthfulness. 3. Using Personal Knowledge template works for interviews, oral histories, written histories from relatives, names and dates we get from relatives that we want to remember where we got the information. 4. By having a field where I can comment about who the source is or their relationship to the individual, it also clues me in on how reliable the source might be. EMAILS For emails, there is a source template (using SourceWriter) called Emails. I use it for that type of correspondence since it allows for a subject line and date entry, which helps me find the email later if I want to refer to it. I can also enter the text of the email in the text section and decide whether or not to have it print in reports. For me personally, at first I did not enter any relatives as a source when I received tidbits. Which in a way, now that I think about it, was sort of silly for me, since I realize that these people ARE in fact sources. :) Then later when I saw dates, places or other facts (not just necessarily notes), I wondered where I received those facts and had to go back over all my old work (still in that process). Now that I use the personal knowledge and email templates, I can EASILY refer to wherever I received any information on someone. I hope this is helpful :) Angelique Welch James Cook wrote: I'm talking about the tidbits of information handed down in legends, sent in emails, or flow out of interviews? Things like Grandpa Moses lived in a river boat on the river, or Great Aunt Sally dated Jesse James, or whatever. The stuff that puts some life into all the facts we collect. I've been toying with the idea of a custom event for this, and I was going with one I wanted to call Fun Facts, but I've decided everything is not fun - like a triple killing in my tree. And, of course, the 'fact' part is questionable. It may be a fact that this story was often told, but the story itself may not be a fact. Anyway, I'm looking for some ideas for how to do this.

You said: I'm talking about the tidbits of information but Rita said: I have several families where the church was very important and several generations attended the same church, donated land, founded the church, and lots of other things. In Rita's case I would think that there is all sorts of background information that would give the reader a well rounded overview of the family and their relationship with the church in the context of the church's history. In other words the write up would be broader than short facts and anecdotes. It would be virtually a stand alone publication of interest to those involved with the church, not just the family. Putting it in Legacy could result in the information being scattered around different individual's entries - which is what I meant by bitty.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook Images
Tom, Since you can't link the photos to Legacy, exactly what are you thinking of doing, eg. copying the photos and putting them into Legacy? You clearly do not own these photographs, so for the moment forget ethics, the copyright for those pictures belong to the person who took them, or to whom that person assigned the copyright. You do intend to publish, you say ...to include it all in a book of descendants to be handed out at the next family reunion, that is publishing, even if you do not charge. If I have misunderstood, then please excuse me, but if anybody did that with my photos, without my express consent, I would hit the roof. When I allow use of my photos, I do so only on the condition that my copyright is explicitly stated. My website operates under the Creative Commons License, which subject to certain conditions, allows free use for the reproduction and distribution of my information, but I have specifically exempted my photos and reserved their copyright. As I understand the Facebook conditions, in loose terms, when uploading a photo onto Facebook you give Facebook a free license to use that photo for any of their activities, but nobody else.

I have e-mailed many people with public websites from which I have garnered information and they have all replied along the lines of feel free, that's what it's there for but most have added that it was nice to be asked. -- Jenny M Benson 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 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
RE: [LegacyUG] Facebook Images
I'm agreeing with Mike on this: not only is FaceBook more trouble than it's worth, you would also be best served by making sure all of your family members would have at least two strong anti-virus programs as well as a good anti-malware program before visiting any FaceBook pages. And then be prepared for the inevitable hacking of your own pages. Try goggling facebook hacks and you get over 332,000 results. You could try any of a number of FREE photo hosting sites.

I'm curious about why you would send this message to the group if you thought you could not send messages.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?
Something I've just started using (since getting WIN7) is OneNote by Microsoft. It was loaded on the computer is just great. I've named one of the notebooks Genealogy and have folders for the main names, then pages for individuals. You can write stories, add pictures or scans. And side notes to anything. For instance, I came across a receipt from 1941 that was for the wedding rings engagement rings that my father-in-law bought for his wedding. I've scanned that in, added a note about where the rings are now what I did with the receipt. There is a pen mode for freehand writing drawing...your can add audio video files... really handy program. I use it for a lot of things. Sally I'm talking about the tidbits of information handed down in legends, sent in emails, or flow out of interviews? Things like Grandpa Moses lived in a river boat on the river, or Great Aunt Sally dated Jesse James, or whatever. The stuff that puts some life into all the facts we collect. I've been toying with the idea of a custom event for this, and I was going with one I wanted to call Fun Facts, but I've decided everything is not fun - like a triple killing in my tree. And, of course, the 'fact' part is questionable. It may be a fact that this story was often told, but the story itself may not be a fact. Anyway, I'm looking for some ideas for how to do this. In the case of an event, I was thinking I could use an entry format in the notes section like so When I was a boy, we had rocks to play with, and we liked it! - Uncle Joe [Joe Doe 1847-1911] 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

Thanks all. After reading this, I think a mix of solutions will be required.

For those larger write-ups done in a word processor, how do you integrate them back into one cohesive report with descendant narratives and such?

I have given this a lot of thought...as with all families, there are the numerous stories passed down from generation to generation...usually narrated at those wonderful family gatherings.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations, addresses and events
Hi Dawn, I'm a firm believer of using whatever number of location spaces you want. For example, a burial location: Lot 403 MEMORIAL GARDEN, Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana, Orange, California, USA Sorting right to left, it comes up with all of the other Santa Ana Locations. And all the Fairhaven Memorial Park burials come up together. Wouldn't think of going back to only 4 slots and having to chase all over for the details. Art Seddon, Everett, WA - Original Message - From: Dawn Del Guercio njheart2he...@gmail.com This has been a fascinating discussion for me!
