Re: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

[Lester Davison]

My solution is to install a new drive (E). On this drive I have a folder
called 'Genealogy' within which are folders 'FamilyDocuments',
FamilyPictures', 'FamilySounds' and 'FamilyVideos'. Any other files relating
to my research are also located on this drive.

In Australia I can access newspaper articles (some) online - they are
scanned images, but at the side of the page they have a text version.
Trouble is the text version is obviously from OCR and has numerous errors
depending on the clarity of the scan as Kathy says.  But it allows me to
edit the text version, which is certainly quicker than retyping the whole
thing.  I can then copy the text and drop it into Legacy in Notes or as
Notes for an Event and I also attach a copy of the scan to the event the
source (depending on where you want it to be) so you can see the 'real
thing' even if it is a bit hard to read in the resultant report.  So, whilst
the scans you have may not come with ready made OCR text I would say using
OCR is still quicker than retyping the whole article.

I totally understand THAT! I have never done it myself, but there is OCR
software out there (free even) that might fill your needs depending on the
clarity of your scans.  I've never used it but it's been on my 'to do' list
for years.

This would be 'off topic' yet it would be very useful to know if OCR would
be a viable resource for this problem.  In this case, I think it is quite
'on topic' to know if OCR would help someone to insert lengthy news articles
or other printed material into Legacy as a document rather than as an image.
I know one of the drawbacks is that you still will have transcription errors
and would need to proof read quite carefully, particularly with name
spellings that are important to your research.  If this did work, I would
still attach the image in multimedia for immediate reference when questions
arise.

I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable users out there that will know in
a snap if OCR is of any benefit in this type of circumstance.  I am thinking
it probably isn't only since I've never seen it mentioned here in the past.


Good luck! Kathy

You can type the Obituary into the Notes section or copy and paste the text
from an Internet page.

You cannot insert a graphic into the General Notes section.

You can create an Event (Obituary) for the person and attach a scanned copy
of the Newspaper to that event.  I would suggest if you do this, to create a
report and see what your scanned image is going to look like in reports.
You may or may not be happy with the end result.

You can, but it will bot be visually satisfying if your intent is
anything past your own desktop use.

Change Marriage Licenseto Marriage License[[1]] (or create new)
Change Marriage Ceremonyto Marriage Ceremony[[2]](or create new)

Sort events by date

Run Chronology and they should appear in the order desired, but they
will always show the (supposedly) invisibility brackets[[]]. If anyone
has a better idea, I'd like to hear it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship Diagram

[Howlanddavisii]

Dave:


I have sent you separately, as an attachment, the chart I think that 
you are looking for.
In the meantime, here is something from Reunion Magazine last year (I 
have received permission for sending this)


Howland Davis


In the August/September/October issue of Reunions Magazine, page 14, a 
column by JackieUtley from Jackson TN, a contributor to the magazine, had this 
process:
Talking about ‘second cousins’ and ‘onceremoved’ she
said, *Butwhat exactly do they mean, and who exactly are
they, and howthe heck do you figure it out?
The best explanation I've seen involves adiagram of
relationships.
 a.Start with a common grandparent.
1)The common grandparent = X
2)A grandchild = GC
3)A great grandchild = GGC
4)A great great grandchild = GGGC
5)A great great great grand-child=C
  b.Now if we line these up:
  X
  GC
  GGC
  GGGC
  C
  c. How many "Gs" does a GC andanother GC have in
 common? The answer is 1, so that they arefirst
 cousins.
  d.   How many "Gs" does a GGGC andanother GGGC
 havein common? The answer is 3, so that makes
 them third cousins.
  e.  What about a GC and a GGC? They have one"G" in
 common, which makes them first cousins.
 But, just as in math where you crossout the common
 numbers and still have a remainder, you mustcount
 the extra "Gs." The number ofextra "Gs" indicates
 how many times the cousins are removed.In this
 case the remainder is one, so therelationship is first
 cousin, once removed.
   f.  What about a C and a GGC? The number of
 common "Gs" is two, so secondcousins.  The
 remainder is two, so twice removed.
   g.A GC and GGC? One common "G" sofirst
 cousins, five remaining "Gs" sofive times removed.
Fairly easy to figure out, right?

[LegacyUG] Sort Problem in Chronological View

[Charles Apple]

I apologize if this has been discussed before, however, I have been unable
to find an answer in the Help Files, or the LUG Archives. On the marriage
screen I have entered the date and place of marriage for husband and wife.
Additionally, I have added two marriage events 1) for Marriage License; and
2) for the Marriage Ceremony. When looking at the Chronology View of either
Husband or Wife, they are displayed as follows; Note all of the events
occurred on the same date and place.

Marriage
Marriage License
Marriage Ceremony

Is there any way to sort these so that they display as follows;

Marriage License
Marriage Ceremony
Marriage

All events are sorted properly, for both husband and wife, on the Marriage
Events screen.

Thank you for any assistance,

Charles

Re: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

[Laird]

To anyone,
On thing to consider avoiding is to locate Legacy linked photos and documents in
a Windows standard folder.  Microsoft may change it at a later date as they did
from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
Windows XP "My Documents" - "My Pictures"
In Windows Vista and Windows 7 the above folder names have changed to
"Documents" and "Pictures".

What will Microsoft change the folder names to with the next release of 
Windows

I don't much like the recommended Legacy location within the Legacy program
folder, but it will work when Microsoft makes a change as above.  Unless they
drop the C:, D: convention for drives, perhaps a name of your choosing.

Using Windows Vista I had my photos in this folder path:
Y:\Users\Laird\Documents\Family Tree\Multimedia\Photos.  I needed to make a copy
of my genealogy data for a cousin who only had a C: drive.  So I changed all my
Legacy photo links to C:\FamilyTree\Multimedia\Photos\...
This is a big job if you have a large number of photo folders.  I also had a
small C: drive and a very large Y: drive on my PC so I didn't have room on my C:
for all my photos etc.  What I did was create a redirection junction point on my
C: drive to point to the files on the Y: drive, sort of an alias.  All the
photos etc. look just like they are on the C: drive even though they are still
on my Y: drive.  This is something that is supported by Windows Vista and later
operating systems.

Another thing to consider is the character length of the folder path, there is
an upper limit of about 255(XP) or 260 (Vista) characters.  You can reach this
limit before you realize it, my Y: drive length as written above is 55
characters even before you add sub-folders for surnames-locations etc.

If I were starting from scratch I would use something like
C:\FamilyTree\Multimedia\Photos\

Sooner or later you will need to purchase a new PC and then this problem may 
arise.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer

[Brian/Support]

I just tested this in the latest GR version 7.5.0.89. It was announced
when that version was released that the label colours for child status
and relationship to parents were supposed to work when sources were
assigned. When I access the screen from the children list by right
clicking on a child the label colours do work. If I access the screen
from the parents icon however the label colours do not work.

We have a test version that is issued only to our beta testers. The
access from the parents icon works in that version so I suggest you wait
til the next GR version is released. I have submitted a problem report
on this to remind me to test it when the next GR version is released.

Oh - so you're *not* in the Children's Settings window (where I always
go to set the Status) but the Parents window.  Big difference.

You might want to submit this on a problem report form so it can be
logged in our system and be very clear that you're on the Parents
of... window and not the Children's Settings window.

For me it's the 8th one from the left (Spouse, List of Brothers and

Parents ...) but I suppose you could have different ones but I think
this is the default confi.

I just do a right click on a child and select Children's Settings.
That takes you to the same window.  I don't quite understand what
you're describing that Geoff did.

At first I thought I could duplicate this through the Edit menu
access, but I had the wrong child highlighted   When I went to the
child with the child status and parent/child relationships, the red
highlights on the field names showed up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

[Syble Glasscock]

There's really not a right or wrong way, it's what works best for you.  When I 
started genealogy, I never thought I'd have 8,000+ people in my files, many 
documents and photos, or having a family website was not in my thoughts either, 
but I do have this now and there are certainly many things to consider when 
naming a folder or file.  
 
For Legacy, I have one folder inside My Documents - titled : Legacy_pics_docs; 
inside this folder, I have all documents, photos etc. that are attached to my 
Legacy program, with a folders for documents, tombstones and photo for each 
surname, i.e. Brown_pictures, Brown_tombstones. (within the Brown_tombstone 
folder for example, if I have a lot of tombstone photos for a particular 
cemetery, I have a folder for that cemetery), then I have a Brown_documents 
folder, if you'll name your docs what they are first, i.e. wwi_draft_brown_john 
or land records_brown John_1852, then they will be easier to find.
 
One thing I was told with a website, is to try to keep the file names short, I 
don't know if that's true or not, but this was from a professional.   Also I've 
been advised to have all files the same as far as - or _ and upper or lower 
case.   This has been a hard habit to form, but I'm woking on it.
 
My main reason for setting up a "Legacy" file is that I know anything in that 
file is a lower resolution and therefore ok for the web or to e-mail someone,   
I keep the important originals in a higher resolution in: My 
Documents>Genealogy_Brown_family> etc., by having Genealogy first all my 
Genealogy family files will be listed together.  My higher resolution photos 
are in : My Pictures>  I have very few documents outside the U.S., so starting 
a file with the country would be out of the question for me.
Good Luck,
Syble

Subject: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders


I am not sure the best way to organize scans of documents.  Right now I only 
have a few photos of people in my file.  I have the file name simply as 
“PEOPLE”  and I do the individual files like this...
Perry, John Judson 01
Perry, John Judson 02
Simmons, Silas 01
Perry, Docia Leora 01

I have not started scanning documents in yet.  On one of the Webinars, Geoff 
shows that he has his file folders organized by place...
First level country
Second level state
third level county
fourth level town

which matches the way he has his sources set up in the master source list.

However, my master source list is set up by records type first, then location.  
For example...

Cemetery Records – GA – Columbia Co – Ashley Family Cemetery
Cemetery Records – GA – Columbia Co – Bellevue Memorial Gardens
Cemetery Records – MS – Forrest Co – Simmons Family Cemetery
Cemetery Records – TX – Tarrant Co – Smith Family Cemetery
Census Records – MS – Hinds Co – 1850
Census Records – MS – Hinds Co – 1860
Census Records – MS – Pike Co – 1900
Census Records – MS – Pike Co - 1910
Death Records – LA – Caddo Parish – death certificates
Death Records – MS – Lamar Co – death certificates
Tax Records – MS – Marion Co – 1813 Tax List
Tax Records – MS – Perry Co – 1820 Tax List

etc etc etc

I am thinking about setting up my folders for my documents using the same 
format.  I want to set it up right the first time because whenever you change 
file names you have to go back and tell Legacy what you did with everything.

Do you think this system will work okay?  I am trying to think ahead when I 
have hundreds of files.

Yes I do. Installed Version: 7.5.0.89

I just checked and I see it also if I go through the "Edit-Children Settings".

Jeff went from the main family view, and then the Parents Icon which
takes you to a "Relationships" screen also. I'm pretty sure that's
where Jeff went because I normally would go through the Children
Settings and I remember thinking "it's a lot easier to use the Parents

Re: [LegacyUG] punctuation in file names

[cranberryfrog]

So what you are saying, Sherry, is if I change the name of the file in the
Picture Center (instead of just going into Windows and doing it) it will
automatically update the link?  This is good to know.  I can change the file
names then and get them the way they are supposed to me without too much
effort :)

In Picture Center, you can rename the Family File and it will be

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship Diagram

[Sherry/Support]

There is a known problem with the Forms Center for some users and it's
in the tracking system for the programmers to work on.

We don't know why it affects only some users and we thought we saw a
pattern but it's not consistent.

Please be patient as the programmers work on this issue.

If you want to send this in to us on the Problem Report Form, we can
investigate this further with you and add you as a reporter of the
issue.

Re: [LegacyUG] punctuation in file names

Michele,

Not using punctuation marks in file/folder names is a message which myself and 
others have been putting out on this list for years. It is in fact basic 
computing, and whilst it would be unreasonable to expect everyone to be 
proficient it is always advisable to read up the basic usage for any machine, 
computers or otherwise. For your information a comma signifies a new field.

Re: [LegacyUG] entering and sourcing a seaman's log book

[Connie Sheets]

While the Military template might work, especially if you know he was a ship's 
carpenter for the Navy, not a commercial vessel, I would be more inclined to 
try the Diary or Artifacts templates first, as they seem to me to be closer to 
the type of privately held source material you have.

I would not use the Book template, as that formatting is for published 
material, which a log book definitely is not.

As for how to enter it, I agree with having only one event summarizing the 
information, not a separate event for each voyage.

[LegacyUG] punctuation in file names

[cranberryfrog]

Now you tell me not to use punctuation in file names!  It is too late.  There 
is no way I am going to go through every image attached in Legacy and change 
the path.  I wish Legacy would keep the correct path when all you do is change 
the file name and not the location of the file.

I would start by scanning the books since they are most likely on a high
acid paper.  I would then source the Log Book as a book with grand-dad
as the author.  The scanned file can be added under the "multimedia tab
in the source citation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Writer

[cranberryfrog]

It wasn't the obituary one so it had to have been the entering a marriage
record or entering a death certificate.  I just don't remember exactly how I
did it though.  It is working just fine.  The label is black until I add a
source and then it goes red.

You only need to change the "Contents" box to change the color of the label
to change to if there is a source attached. The "Text" will change the color

Re: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

[my genealogy email]

I have found that using punctuation in file names can lead to problems 
translating to a webpage. It would be best to use an underscore in the file 
name. ie. perry_john_judson_01.xxx the xxx is the file extension. I also have 
mine set up by type, country, year, and then by location.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

I am not sure the best way to organize scans of documents.  Right now I only 
have a few photos of people in my file.  I have the file name simply as 
“PEOPLE”  and I do the individual files like this...
Perry, John Judson 01
Perry, John Judson 02
Simmons, Silas 01
Perry, Docia Leora 01

I have not started scanning documents in yet.  On one of the Webinars, Geoff 
shows that he has his file folders organized by place...
First level country
Second level state
third level county
fourth level town

which matches the way he has his sources set up in the master source list.

However, my master source list is set up by records type first, then location.  
For example...

Cemetery Records – GA – Columbia Co – Ashley Family Cemetery
Cemetery Records – GA – Columbia Co – Bellevue Memorial Gardens
Cemetery Records – MS – Forrest Co – Simmons Family Cemetery
Cemetery Records – TX – Tarrant Co – Smith Family Cemetery
Census Records – MS – Hinds Co – 1850
Census Records – MS – Hinds Co – 1860
Census Records – MS – Pike Co – 1900
Census Records – MS – Pike Co - 1910
Death Records – LA – Caddo Parish – death certificates
Death Records – MS – Lamar Co – death certificates
Tax Records – MS – Marion Co – 1813 Tax List
Tax Records – MS – Perry Co – 1820 Tax List

etc etc etc

I am thinking about setting up my folders for my documents using the same 
format.  I want to set it up right the first time because whenever you change 
file names you have to go back and tell Legacy what you did with everything.

Do you think this system will work okay?  I am trying to think ahead when I 
have hundreds of files.

I do similar.  I have folders named for the four main families (my
grandparents) in my tree and within them name the photos primarily with
the surname, forename and UserID of the people.

Again, my Sources are similarly named, but broken down by type, then by
"repository" (eg Birth Index - Ancestry, Birth Index FreeBMD, etc).  My
electronic Source Documents are are filed similarly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Organizing your picture folders

[Ron Ferguson]

Michele,

To avoid future problems, especially if you ever create file names file and 
folder names should *only* use alpha-numeric characters plus underscore and 
hyphens. Punctuation marks should never be used and spaces are best avoided.

I believe that the choice of a system for folder and files names and contents 
is that which best suits the users and their types of images.

RE: [LegacyUG] Multiple marriages each with a child and also invisible on reports

[leo macdonald]

When you are producing your report (Descendant) do you have the third husband 
highlighted, if so then his wife's previous marriages will not show with their 
biological children listed.

Try highlighting the wife, then run the report (Descendant), this should show 
her first marriage and their biological child; her second marriage and their 
biological child; her third marriage and their biological child plus the two 
children from her two previous marriages, providing that you have them linked 
to the third marriage, and you have them listed as biological to their mother 
and adopted to her third husband. You can also change the order of the children 
according to their birth dates or by her previous marriage dates when they are 
listed under the third marriage.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Multiple marriages each with a child and also invisible on 
reports
Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 10:29:45 -0500




I have a family in which the wife was married 3 times and had a child by each 
husband. The last husband formally adopted the 1st two children. I have them 
all entered showing invisible since they are all still alive and I have the 1st 
and 2nd children showing as 1/2 for the third husband. But they show up under 
both the 1st and 2nd husband as well. I think I remember long ago that Legacy 
had a real problem trying to handle this correctly. Did they ever figure out a 
way to show this properly?

What I would like to see on reports is a correct listing of the appropriate 
children under each husband/wife combination but that isn't what I am getting. 
Husband 1 and wife and the 1 child; husband 2 and wife and the 2 children; 
husband 3 and wife and all 3 children with the 1st two marked as adopted.

Also, when I tried to run a report to see what this mess would look like and 
even thought I checked to allow all invisible to show on the report, I didn't 
get anything other then the particular person I was set on.

Can anyone tell me (1) how to set up the screens so that only the appropriate 
children show with that particular husband (2) if all are marked invisible, 
what do I have to do to get a report using them even if I have ticked the box 
for show invisible?

Hi Jenny, I downloaded it the same day, but never had an opportunity to

Re: [LegacyUG] Location/Address Fields (was ANOTHER short location name question)

[cranberryfrog]

I never put the street address in the location field anyway so this is a moot 
point for me.  My reasons for using the 4 locations fields is 1) consistency  
2) so that the Legacy search features will work correctly, and so that I will 
be able to integrate with FamilySearch.

If I had a location like Smith Farm.  I would write it as
, Lamar, Mississippi, USA  [I would leave the town blank assuming the farm name 
was used in lieu of the town name, Lamar is the county, Mississippi is the 
state, and USA is the county]

Next to any location field there is a plus sign where you can put any 
additional information.  You can also explain it in the notes.

Erica,

I have changed the Subject to something which relates to the content.

Firstly can you confirm which you mean the address book or the Location List – 
I think the latter, and have answered accordingly.

Commas!! Ugh!! It has always been my practice to write a location as it is 
written and not using the so called American 4 field convention which tries to 
fit locations into this synthetic construction. It is still common in England 
for houses to have names as well as/instead of using numbers, in fact my ex was 
brought up on a farm whose location was Farm Name, Town, Derbyshire, England. 
Note there is no street, simply because there isn’t one, just a track leading 
up a mountain. Inserting commas instead would imply that there is a street of 
unknown name.. Wrong, there isn’t.

For ease of comparison between locations of varying fields set the location to 
read from right to left – go to View>Master Lists>Locations>Sort. At the bottom 
right set to read from right to left, click OK to exit, and check the little 
box next to the Sort Button. I always include the full location, including the 
house name/number.. street, etc. in the long location, and with few exceptions, 
certainly no more than any other method, it maps correctly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location/Address Fields (was ANOTHER short location name question)

[Ron Ferguson]

Erica,

I have changed the Subject to something which relates to the content.

Firstly can you confirm which you mean the address book or the Location List – 
I think the latter, and have answered accordingly.

Commas!! Ugh!! It has always been my practice to write a location as it is 
written and not using the so called American 4 field convention which tries to 
fit locations into this synthetic construction. It is still common in England 
for houses to have names as well as/instead of using numbers, in fact my ex was 
brought up on a farm whose location was Farm Name, Town, Derbyshire, England. 
Note there is no street, simply because there isn’t one, just a track leading 
up a mountain. Inserting commas instead would imply that there is a street of 
unknown name. Wrong, there isn’t.

For ease of comparison between locations of varying fields set the location to 
read from right to left – go to View>Master Lists>Locations>Sort. At the bottom 
right set to read from right to left, click OK to exit, and check the little 
box next to the Sort Button. I always include the full location, including the 
house name/number. street, etc. in the long location, and with few exceptions, 
certainly no more than any other method, it maps correctly.

Subject: [LegacyUG] ANOTHER short location name question

while we are on the subject of the short location name field:

During the 1800's in Sydney Australia, there was a strange little phenomena of 
using a house name as an address, so the Smith family may have given their 
address as "Keiraville" Jones Street, Glebe or "Keiraville" 6 Jones Street, 
Glebe or sometimes just "Keiraville" Glebe.
It must have been a nightmare for the postman but it appears constantly in 
death and funeral notices and even in the electoral rolls.   I also think that 
some families may have packed up the house name and taken it with them when 
they moved!

I'm trying out ways of entering this in the address field. So far I've been 
placing the inverted commas around the house name so they all appear first in 
my address lists, but I'd also like to be able to sort according to the name of 
the street.

I think I read an earlier post from some one in England who was asking about 
sorting according to streets so he could see who had been neighbours.

I've thought of including the house name in with the house number and placing a 
comma after the number so I get "Keiraville" 6, Jones Street, Glebe. That way I 
can sort which relatives were also living in Jones Street (maybe that's why 
they didn't need numbers, the whole street knew each other!)
But for the ones with just house name and no street I would need extra commas.

So to get around printing a messy looking address field with lots of commas I 
thought of using the short form as my 'proper' looking address for when I want 
to print a report.

I'm only experimenting with this so does anyone have any comments on why this 
would or wouldn't work before I start changing my very long locations list.

Thanks, BTW this group is great, I've been using Legacy for several years but 
have never delved into all the little extras it can do, I've been learning a 
lot in the short time I've been here.
cheers
Erica

Re: [LegacyUG] Families Program

[Ron Ferguson]

George,

Check/Repair has always (at least as far back as I can remember) starts by
re-indexing the file. I do not know for certain, but I have always regarded
this as a an index verification rather than a re-indexing as such. In any
event it is nothing to worry about as it is just part of the process.

Folks:

I recently purchased Families for my I-touch. After I transferred my info to
my I-touch I decided I should run the Check/Repair and noticed that it
started out by re-indexing my file. I had not noticed it doing this
previously.

Obviously, I don't want anything to corrupt my file.

Any comments on this would be appreciated.

George

To a Britisher, it seems odd that you call this a phenomenon as many
houses here have a name and number or no number at all and most people
woould include the house name in their address if the house has both.

so the Smith family may

I have at least 2 lots of relatives who have done that.

I don't use commas to indicate "missing" fields, nor do I use a comma to
separate house number from street name but I do drop the house name
and/or number for my Short Location name.  (I do put the entire address
in the Location field, don't use the Address field.)  My Long Location
might be Newburgh House, 10 Newburgh Street, Winchester, Hampshire,
England and the Short Location would be Newburgh St, Winchester, HAM.

Have you got a folder named C:\Legacy\Forms?  (Substitute drive letter
if your Legacy is in a different place.)  If so, has it got files in it?
  If so, in the Forms Centre,  click on Browse and navigate to
C:\Legacy\Forms.  That should do it!

If the answer to either of those questions is "no" I'm not sure what you
do, I'm afraid!
