[LegacyUG] Re: Verify your subscription to LegacyUserGroup mailing list
Every time I have tried to join the email list for LEGACY (the email list and the news list), it always says "FILE NOT FOUND" when I try to click on the link.

Re: [LegacyUG] Upgrading to latest build?
Scott, Welcome! In Legacy, under the HOME tab, on the righthand side you will see a box which will tell you if there is an update, if so just click and it will update your program For information, downloading and installing the full program will also be fine as only the latest files will be installed. Neither method will affect your data, *but* in common with updates of any program do ensure your back-up is up to date - just in case! By the way, As a new user you are probably not aware that all posts should be in Plain Text and not HTML (Rich Text). Oh, and the Legacy rules etc. for using this site should be deleted when replying to posts. These rules are intended in part to keep the size down for the many users who are on metered dial-up.

I'm not sure what you mean by "this," but the link you posted (Family Search Pilot, or sometimes called Family Search Labs) involves actual records (e.g., indexes and digital images of original records like Ohio Death Certificates and Argentina census records, both of which I've had the need to use, believe it or not). In other words, it is #5 on Heather Stovold's explanation earlier today of the various FamilySearch collections. You do not have to be an LDS member to use this site. The only portion of FamilySearch one needs to be an LDS member to use is NewFamilySearch (#4 on Heather's list). Legacy 7.4 has been built to be compliant with NewFamilySearch (along with correcting things that are important to all of us, not just LDS members).

Re: [LegacyUG] FamilySearch
Michael, The new.FamilySearch has been in beta for a few years. There are all sorts of rumors when it will be available. I am on the test team and it is on .99 which means it is getting closer for release (Closer is relative). Having said that, it will probably (My assumption) only be available to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To be released to the general public, is up to the General Authorities of the Church. I don't think even the software developers know when the project will be done, for it is constantly evolving. So my guess is *shrug* :-) Regards, Tim Rosenlof Michael Berry wrote: > Is there any estimate when Family Search will be made available to non > LDS members? > > > > > > 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] FamilySearch versus New Family Search
Just to clarify, FamilySearch.org at http://www.familysearch.org is available to everyone and has always been available to everyone. The New FamilySearch (nFS) at https://new.familysearch.org is the site which is currently restricted to Mormon church members only. What do they have that we don't? Well, Mormon church members used to go to a Family History Center (FHC) and use a free-standing application called TempleReady for their church-related genealogy work. This is now being done at nFS. Since the rest of us don't deal with this, there is no need to us to access nFS. Will they make the site open to non-members later on? Perhaps. But only time will tell. For now, however, go to the (old ?) FamilySearch which is accessible to the public and use their Library Catalog which has thousands of records available to anyone by going to a FHC, as well as their Record Search Pilot project which has been placing records and indices online. The Record Search Pilot is only in its infancy but it has gotten off to a good start. - Original Message - From: "Michael Berry" To: Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] FamilySearch > Is there any estimate when Family Search will be made available to non > LDS members? > > > > > > 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] Entering birth years into Legacy
I too like "Calc" and used it for years but have stopped 'cause it doesn't have a nice clear universal date qualifier word to print in narratives. For example; if I use "Abt" the word "about" (which the whole world understands) appears with the date in narratives. If I use "Cal" or "Calc", whatever I enter as the Displayed option is used to prefix the date in displays as well as reports. This is different than Aft, Abt, Bet, etc. Why can't we have a nice word like "calculated"? Now before the community goes ballistic on me (which some are wont to do), I realize I can enter "calculated" or whatever I want on the Options menu but then that also shows up on the Family, Pedigree, etc. displays which is a bit heavy handed and space consuming.

Re: [LegacyUG] FamilySearch
Just wanted to add a bit more information on the LDS records. 1. Ancestral File - as noted below - submitted by researchers - a repository of family trees. Some are very good, some are totally horrible. 2. IGI - as noted below - from 2 sources - submitted by researchers, and extracted from records 3. Pedegree Resource File - replaced the Ancestral File (had a few more features) - and has same limitations on accuracy. 4. New Family Search - THIS IS A BETA. - currently available only to LDS members (and that has been slowly rolled out to LDS members 1 geographic region at a time to limit the number of people and the number of problems.) I believe the hope is for it to become a large linked tree with collaboration between people, yet people being able to control the information they have submitted. It is very ambitious, as some of the ancestral people entered in it will have hundreds or thousands of descendants working on the information for them. Information that is in it comes from various sources - including a. - Each of the 3 sources of records listed above b. - LDS Church membership records - records/information of living members is only available to that person (and maybe their very immediate family members?) - deceased members have the records available to others. c. - Information submitted/edted currently by people - This would be where the Legacy linkup would come in... or other genealogy software - or people can enter stuff directly. Again - take with a grain of salt. Good thing is that source information is now able to be submitted, so you can check things easier. d. - other??? 5 - Family Search - PILOT - This includes the Indexing project, where the millions (billions?) of microfilmed actual records stored by the LDS church from various government and (other) church records are being computerized. I always look forward to seeing more here!!! As said below (I copied it) a. Transcriptions of actual parish, govt, records - often with a link to the image of the actual record. Again, the reliability is no different than that of any other transcribed source. b. Images scanned from the microfilmed records not yet transcribed or indexed. These images are the exact same thing you would see if you went to a church and viewed the actual parish registers. Or to the state or county office and viewed the actual record. Note that on the pilot site, there are also some other little projects that may or may not be developed furthur. This is available to anyone I think 6. - The millions (billions) of microfilmed actual records - available to be sent to various Family History Libraries worldwide (for basically shipping costs) for you to view.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons
Ron - yes I called them shortcuts on the desktop, thinking that was what they were called. Sherry - Good to hear from you, we first 'met' before you went to work for Millennia. Before asking for advice I tried the "squish" thing as I read about it on the list. They are not 'squished' they are gone. When I go to Options - customize columns all that is there are the default ones. Unless you think otherwise I will do the same as Hugh did, add them back in and go back to worrying about something like water being wet.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering birth years into Legacy
I use CAL for any date that I have calculated, including from census
information.
I use EST for any date that I am estimating from cultural "norms" (ie, wife
is usually 2 years younger than her husband... or has a first child around
age 21 it is a wild guess with little info - but this estimate has been
VERY useful to me)
I use ABT for any dates that someone else used about, either in a tree, or
in an interview ("oh, uncle sam was born in the 1920's") etc.

[LegacyUG] Move Over Law in NJ
I did not know this until I got an email from a friend! Dawn Del Guercio, 15 March 2010. Apparently, there is a law that's been "on the books" since 2009 in NJ that says you can get pulled over and ticketed (with possible high fines and points) if you do not either move over a lane or slow down significantly when you see law enforcement / emergency vehicle on the side of the road with lights flashing. Why have I never heard of this law until now?? Seems something that important should be on the TV...

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons
Before installing the last update, I purposely changed some options to be quite visible - bold colors, distinctive fonts, unusual columns in the Index tab. I didn't experience any changes to those options when I updated to the latest build. A few users report this on occasion and we're not sure why it's happening. When your Index rows get "squished", just move the mouse pointer to the far left to one of the lines between the rows until it becomes a double arrow. Left click and drag to the size you want it. All rows will resize to the same height. Thanks for using Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Information was Entering birth years into Legacy
As an indexer for FamilySearch I can attest to the difficulty of getting names, etc. correct when indexing. Some of it is guess work because the handwriting is almost unreadable or the photocopy is almost unreadable. When the names are of ethnic origin, if you aren't familiar with that culture, its like transcribing code. When searching for individuals in the census, especially in FamilySearch, if you don't find them the first time think of how the name might have been misinterpreted and try again.

In other words you may have two installations, is was in C\Legacy and the new one in C\Progam Files? I should not delete anything at this stage, although removing the old Desk-top link and will not harm anything.

[LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons
I updated to the latest build and it added another shortcut to the desktop. The difference is the one added has Legacy 7.4. Would it be ok to delete the original one? Also, on the index tab in addition to the default columns I had added: Father, Mother, Marriage: 1st Spouse Name and deleted Sex column. After updating, the columns I added are gone, the one I deleted is back. Is this an indication that the update was not processed correctly? Has anyone else had this happen? I am very worried about this as it never happened in earlier updates. I have used Legacy Deluxe since version 2. I have Legacy Deluxe on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop Vista Home Premium and on an Acer Aspire I Windows XP. Both have the same change.
