RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Kirsten Bowman]

Jenny:

My source citations also include alternate spellings exactly as they were 
written, but names included in source citations aren't found in Internet 
searches.  I also like to use diacriticals in names but those aren't found 
either, so I have them with diacriticals in the preferred spelling and without 
as an alternate name.

I don't actually understand why people see a need to include alternate
spellings in the AKA fields.  I record alternate spellings as and where
they occur, so this might be in the Event Description or the BMD Notes
and in the Source Citation.

People weren't usually "known by" these alternate spellings, they were
just something that cropped up sometimes when their name was written down.

Oops. Should've read further and I would have noticed everyhting worked out.
Also realized I haven't tried a back up from the Family tab lately. Seems the

You can try but it probably won't work. I installed Legacy on a brand new
Toshiba with Windows 7 and I **still** have the backup issue. I also recently
reinstalled the OS and all programs on my Windows XP Pro machine and **still**
have the backup issue. Although I am able to backup on exit, I usually just go

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[CE Wood]

The further back in history you go, the more documents, books, genealogies, 
IPMs, Close Rolls, etc., that you research, the more essential it is to have 
all the alternate names in your Name List of Index.

You will never have a clue that some of the people mentioned are related to 
anyone in your database unless  you have these old, often foreign, often 
foreign alliterations, and names changed to match a place or estate, or 
takingyour wife's name, to say nothing of earldoms.

And, as far as long-time "Englished" names, many of the spellings are not even 
close to how they are spelled now!  After all, English spelling did not begin 
to be standardized until after Johnson's Dictionary of 1755.

I have relatives where one brother used the named PARET and the other PARROTT.

I would agree that you can enter Notes as part of the Source Citation,
but I would argue that this is very different to having an Event with
Notes.  Personally, I use Source Citation Comments for comments/notes
about the Source itself; Notes about the Event itself are in Event Notes.

But each to his/her own - as you say, Legacy is flexible enough.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Kirsten Bowman]

Kathy:

Whether you use the aka field or an alternate name event may depend on use(s) 
intended for your database.  If you intend to produce a book, report, or web 
page you should check out how Legacy handles the two options and use the one 
that reads best.  A "purist" would list an aka only if the individual actually 
used more than one name.  At the other extreme, some would list every spelling 
variation from all records for the individual as aka's in order to have those 
versions appear in the Name List for convenient reference as they research.  I 
post my GEDCOM at RootsWeb and want it to be found in searches so I sometimes 
add an alternate name that isn't supported by the records simply because many 
other posters use that version and I want my file to come up in searches for 
that spelling.

It would be nice if Legacy had separate fields; one for true aka's and another 
for alternate spellings, but that probably isn't likely to happen.

yes, that makes sense and I would like the answer to that as well; the 
aka/alternate name is one of my big issues.  So many people are known by 
different names or different spellings and I'm not sure of the best way to 
fully utilize both of these options; or if they have any other use aside from 
simply storing those alternate spellings for viewing as needed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Brian L. Lightfoot]

Greeting Jenny,

I'm not wanting telling anyone how to structure and choose their method of 
entering citations or notes (after all, that is the beauty of Legacy is that it 
is very flexible in that regard) but wouldn't you agree that "Notes, Dates, etc 
to explain the change of name" can also be entered via the Alternate Names 
window via the Notes/Comments of the source citation to that name? I just 
didn't want anybody to get the idea that by using the Alternate Names window 
would preclude them from entering any notes whatsoever.

I'm trying to think ahead here and the one big difference is that using the 
Alternate Names window would have the notes only appear in reports as part of 
the source citation footnote in tiny font (either at the bottom on the page or 
at the end) whereas using the AKA Event would have the notes appear in reports 
as part of the main body of text.

The other difference is that by using the Alternate Names window and when 
printing reports, the user could choose to eliminate source citations (I don't 
recommend that) and thereby the accompanying Notes, or the user could print the 
source citations but choose not to have the Notes that are part of the citation 
printed. Maybe it all boils down as to just what is in those notes and whether 
the user wants to share that with the world.:-) Using the AKA Event means the 
Notes will always print (assuming that the user has included events in which 
the choice is all or none).

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Adding photo's to Legacy web Pages

I attach photos I want to use on webpages to events. The preferred
photo for each event will display on the webpage. If I have pictures
that don't fit a specific event then I create a "Photo" event for it.
(I can't remember if "Photo" was a Legacy Master Event or if I created
it.) The Photo event looks a little odd in reports (especially if you
don't include the pictures in the report) but since my main focus is
the website, I don't mind that. I also have lots of additional photos
on a photo sharing site. I include the html to link to that site in
the marriage notes for my grandparents and great-grandparents.

Here's my grandmother's webpage for an example:

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Brian L. Lightfoot]

One advantage that I can think of is that the normal "Alternate Names" window 
gives you a button to "Swap Alternate Name with Main Name". This has come in 
handy for me on several occasions in the past when I've discovered what I 
thought was an alternate name turned out to be the person's registered birth 
name.

In addition, that "Alternate Names" window has the Source Citation icon which 
can be applied to any of the alternate names and just as any other citation, 
actual source text or comments can be added there which can be selected to be 
added to reports if desired, as well as the typical multimedia attachment such 
as a scan of a document or picture.

What's the advantage of having the info split between the "Alternate Names" and

RE: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Jan Roberts]

I use an AKA Event when there has been a formal change of name such as by Deed 
Poll.  For alternate spellings or slightly different names I find in records I 
use AKA.  For "Usually known as" I use Quoted Names such as Janet Kay "Jan" 
SULLIVAN.

I think the event type of AKA is one that you added to your family file as it 
is not a default event normally found in Legacy.

I thought I'd answered that question in my previous post:  if you want
Notes, Dates etc to explain the change of name then you would need to
use an AKA Event.  If you just want to record the AKA and nothing else
you use the "Alternate Names" window.  You can (and should!) attach
Source Citations to either.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Kathy Meyer]

yes, that makes sense and I would like the answer to that as well; the
aka/alternate name is one of my big issues.  So many people are known by
different names or different spellings and I'm not sure of the best way to
fully utilize both of these options; or if they have any other use aside
from simply storing those alternate spellings for viewing as needed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Families app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

[John Zimmerman]

Hi Kathy, the price of the Families app in U.S. Dollars is $14.99.  The version 
is the same for the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.  The app senses the device on 
which it has been installed and adjusts to that device.  For example, the 
larger screen area of the iPad allows for additional generations to be 
displayed in the pedigree view.

Regards,

JohnZ

The link to their website is http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/ with a
link to the App store, which probably picks up on your computer
settings because on my computer it shows $14.99 US

Re: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Jennifer Wilhelmi]

If you open the individual's screen where you see the name, birth, death, 
events, etc., there is an icon to the right of the name - three overlaid 
people.  If you click on this, you get a screen where you can add alternate 
names.  Click add and you can enter the first, last, middle, and any preceding 
or following titles.  Alternately, if you add an event, one of the event types 
is AKA.  While they seem to give you the same information, I don't know if the 
program offers special functionality for one or the other that would make it 
more advantageous to use one or the other.

Does that make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] Families app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

[Kathy Meyer]

what is the cost in US dollars?  The website only shows compatibility with
Iphone or Ipad but your email also includes iPod Touch.  Which version is
used for the Touch?  Thank you.

Using the "AKA" screen, you only have fields for inputting the alternate
name/spelling.  This is fine if that is all you want/need to record.  If
you wanted to write notes about the AKA though, or give details about
how and when the name was acquired - for example, if there was a Deed
Poll, then you would need to create an Event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

I may be missing something, but aren't these are the same thing?
There isn't an alternate name option and an AKA option.  Alternate
name = AKA.

RE: [LegacyUG] Backups also happening to me

[Eileen]

Hi,

I thought I would be safe and stopped updating the program, getting to old to 
have to keep changing or trying new things.

My program is a 7.0.0.90, and it (out of the blue some months ago) also stopped 
all backups, I get around this by saving the program with a new name off of my 
hard drive, and the program that is open changes the name to my latest save.

Recently, I seem to have lost the ability to backup my data and

despite selecting Data Files and Multimedia Files in Customise Backup.
When I backup to Legacy, removable drive or even the desktop, nothing
happens.

Previously I could view the backup in progress and then find the
relevant zip files.

What am I doing wrong?

[LegacyUG] Alternate Name vs. AKA Event

[Jennifer Wilhelmi]

After reading the thread on entering multiple names for a single individual, I 
reviewed the help topics for Alternate Name and an AKA event.  But, the 
implications of using one over the other were not clear.

Could someone explain in more detail the advantages/disadvantages/implications 
of using Alternate Name as compared to an AKA event and why you choose one over 
the other?  Or do you use both?


Thanks,

I attach photos I want to use on webpages to events. The preferred

that don't fit a specific event then I create a "Photo" event for it.
(I can't remember if "Photo" was a Legacy Master Event or if I created
it.) The Photo event looks a little odd in reports (especially if you
don't include the pictures in the report) but since my main focus is
the website, I don't mind that. I also have lots of additional photos
on a photo sharing site. I include the html to link to that site in
the marriage notes for my grandparents and great-grandparents.

Here's my grandmother's webpage for an example:

Tim, I had exactly the same problem.  It took the upgrade to 7.4 to cure
the problem.  My work around in the meantime was to do a manual backup
using a 3rd party backup program.  Glad yours is working now.

If you did actually select "Not equal to" and entered "1911" but you
have entered the Event date as "02 April 1911" (or some variant) then
you would not get the result you are wanting.  You would need to enter
the date in your Search criteria exactly as you entered it in your Event
data.

[LegacyUG] Families iPhone/iPad App for Legacy released yesterday

[hwedhlor]

Pardon this rather commercial-sounding message, but those of you who are
iPhone, or iPad users and are looking for an app that is compatible with
Legacy should have a look at TelGen Limited's "Families" app, which was
released late yesterday evening.  I participated in beta testing of
Families and can recommend it without reservation.

Families is capable of displaying great detail from your Legacy
databases, including Family View, Pedigree View, Index searchable by
Given Name, Surname or RIN, Events, To Do Lists, Master and Detail
Sources, Locations and Addresses with geolocation via Google Maps,
Alternate Names, Pictures, with the ability to add pictures from the
camera or photo album, Portrait and Landscape mode in all views, with
full screen support on the iPad.

Families will handle databases with over 300,000 records on the iPhone.
Data is completely editable, and syncs to, and from your PC using a free
Families Sync program downloadable from the vendor, TelGen.  I have
found Families to be a joy to use, and TelGen has been extremely
responsive to both questions and suggestions.
