Re: [LegacyUG] cemetery entries
With respect, the whole point of the Source Writer system is the the format *is* standardised in accordance with the principles of Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills, and available from Legacy. Whilst I use Source Writer, I do not consider it necessary to complete all fields in most cases, and sometimes use them for unintended purposes, but this is *my* choice and not a recommendation. What you include in a Source Citation is entirely up to yourself. With respect to copyright material, if the use is dependant on the inclusion of specified material, eg. a link to a website, then this can usually be included in a comment, or maybe the Repository, it rather depends on what the information is. The Help files also give pretty good instructions on the use of the Source Writer system.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search help

On the Family tab, in the bottom right-hand corner is a date. This is the date that the record for selected individual was last modified. If you click on that date, a window opens, containing the Last Modified information. Other than that, in the Detailed Search pane, the 'Where to look' criteria can contain the 'Modified Date' and/or 'Modified Time' fields. -- 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter and GEDCOM
Ward, This is an excellent idea which I hope would be relatively easy to implement. I have no desire to abandon Legacy, but there is a competitor I'd like to use for some purposes. I'm essentially trapped in Legacy because I have many sources written in SourceWriter and they are completely garbled when exported to GEDCOM. For that matter, they are garbled if reimported from GEDCOM into Legacy. Now that this issue is getting publicity on a rather widely read blog, I hope it will be higher on the to fix list. Connie --- On Thu, 2/3/11, Ward Walker wnkwal...@rogers.com wrote: The underlying problem is the GEDCOM format. However, I think that the Legacy programmers could devise a workaround, if sufficiently motivated by customer demand. Here is one idea, which should work as a user option for 1-way transfers, at least. It wouldn't be very suitable for back and forth transfers. Instead of simply throwing all the master source fields together in one GEDCOM field, and all the detail source fields together in another GEDCOM field, flatten out the hierarchy. Each citation would essentially be one big detail field in the GEDCOM containing the full citation exactly as if formatted for an internal Legacy report. There are probably other ideas. I wonder what Legacy's competitors are doing with the same issue?

Re: [LegacyUG] cemetery entries
It appears to me you are asking at least two separate questions: (1) How best to enter cemetery locations? This is a personal choice; there is no standard way to do this nor does there need to be. I never use the Burial Address field, but most of my research is in rural areas. (I might feel differently if I were dealing with more urban locations, although I doubt it). Instead, I put the name of the cemetery in the Buried Location field, e.g. Cedar Hill Cem., Blythedale, Harrison Co., Missouri I sort my locations right to left and can easily print a list of everyone buried in that cemetery from the Master Locations List. (2) How do I record that I'm using copyright information with permission? As Ron has suggested, I would use the Comments field of the Master Source screen (or Source Detail, whichever is most appropriate) to record that information. If you want it printed on your reports, be sure to check the box on that screen that provides for that option.

RE: [LegacyUG] cemetery entries
There has been lots of good discussion in the past about the pros and cons of putting the full address (e.g. cemetery name, hospital) in the location field vs. the address table. Until recently, I was in the 'use the address table' camp, but I have changed my mind. I still think it's more correct from a database point of view to use the separate address table, but it does cause problems when exporting/importing a GEDCOM to other applications. Legacy creates the appropriate fields in the GEDCOM, but in the two other applications I am familiar with (Family Tree Maker and Roots Magic) , there is no equivalent of the address table for locations. So, the address is simply lost. All applications have a location/place field. So, if you put the full address in Legacy's location field, you are pretty much assured that you will retain it when importing into other locations. If you use the separate address table, the other applications may or may not import all of the address. If you are not planning on exporting GEDCOMs to be used in other applications, this probably doesn't matter. But if you are, putting the full address in the location field increases the chances that the transfer to the other application won't lose some data.

Re: [LegacyUG] cemetery entries
I believe that the mapping feature only uses the location field, so if you want to show a map with multiple locations within a city, putting the address in the location field would be necessary.

RE: [LegacyUG] cemetery entries faithfulness to Legacy
Ellen, Please don't take my comments as suggesting I'm considering converting to another program. Legacy is by far the best of Legacy, Family Tree Maker, and Roots Magic. It will continue to be my main database. That being said, GEDCOMs are used to exchange data at times, and because of differences in the file structures between programs, and either errors implementing or just different interpretations of the GEDCOM standards between developers, data is invariably lost or garbled in the transfer. To the extent that we can use a field (like location) in a common way that the majority of applications understand consistently, we minimize our headaches when doing transfers.

Do they come via the internet or do you for me to send my mailing address. Thank you, John From: BG Johnson b...@brmemc.net To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Cc: Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 3:39 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy and internet searches I also wish there was a way to upload these to the LUG. I have sent them to several people who have asked for them and have several more interested. It would be much easier that way. The tutorials are actually handouts I made for my presentation to a local users group and have not been beta tested. I would therefore like some feedback on how they work for you. Others who have asked and have not yet received them should get them as soon as I have time to send them. I am now heading to the local community college for a genealogy class. bgj -Original Message- From: Kathy Shiell-Stokes [mailto:familyt...@wightman.ca] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 3:30 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and internet searches Is there any way the tutorial could appear on list? I think a lot of people would be interested in itand although a lengthy discussion has taken place in the past re: incorporating favourite search spots, a repeat seems in order. If not then..me too!
