[LegacyUG] Unsplit MasterSource
Listers: I have seen the light as far as lumping and splitting goes or maybe I was over splitting. Anyway, I had a separate master source for each Social Security Death Index source. I now want to have one master source and then have separate detail information (the way it should be, I think). My question is how to combine the master sources. I have gone through them and moved the text and multimedia over to the detail, etc., so that the Master Source is the same (at least s far as I can see) but, when I request that duplicate sources be combined, I am told that there are no duplicates. I do not want a list of master sources showing SSDI; I want one. How do I delete/combine the master sources? Can I combine them? What have I done wrong other than performing a over-split from the beginning?

Re: [LegacyUG] Unsplit MasterSource
I'm thinking that if you simply removed the details and put them in the source detail to remain with the person, does the system really know that the sources that remain are identical? Since they were created as separate entities, I'm wondering if Legacy is really going to treat them as duplicates, even if they say the same thing? You might have to use the COMBINE function at the bottom of the list, but to do that you've got quite a few to go through. Maybe someone will come up with something better.--Jerry / http://www.MerriamFamilyTree.org/ On 8/4/2011 9:40 AM, Howlanddavisii wrote: Listers: I have seen the light as far as lumping and splitting goes or maybe I was over splitting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unsplit MasterSource
If Legacy does not recognize your edited Master Sources as duplicates you will have to manually combine the multiple sources. Go to View Master Lists Sources Highlight all the duplicate SSDI sources, do not highlight the source you want to keep With all the duplicates highlighted click on the Combine highlighted source ... button in the bottom of the screen The label will change to Highlight destination source, then click this button. Highlight the source you did not select earlier and click the button. If all the SSDI sources use the same SourceWriter template they will be combined. If they use different templates you cannot combine them and Legacy will offer to add the template ID column to the list so you can see what template each master source used. You will be able to combine all the SSDI sources that use the same template but you will have to manually add the Master SSDI source to those who use an SSDI source with another template then remove the old SSDI source from them.

Re: [LegacyUG] storing in the cloud
Cheryl, I'm not familiar with Sugar Sync, but if it's anything like Dropbox, the only thing I've done is make sure I have the latest version of Legacy installed on both my desktop and the netbook I take with me to travel, plus the fdb file on Dropbox. (I'm less fussy about the tc files than a lot of people; I just reset my options as needed, although since I set Dropbox as my default path, that hasn't been an issue). Just make sure you don't leave Legacy open on your desktop when you leave home. It's not a bad idea at all; IMO, it's the only way to function (although I also make physical backups periodically as well).

Re: [LegacyUG] storing in the cloud
Cheryl, I do not know Sugar Sync, so cannot comment on whether it will work or if there are any snags, but like many other users I use Dropbox and have had no problems with it. I only bother with the fdb files, if, however, I was using the ToDo files as a basis for doing research then are would include those USR files as well.

Re: [LegacyUG] storing in the cloud
Cheryl, I've used both SugarSync and Dropbox for about a year now. I keep all of my research, including my Legacy DB files in a folder within the Magic Briefcase automatically installed by SugarSync in the Windows Document folder. Through assorted referrals and non-onerous hoops through which I have jumped, I've upped my SugarSync storage to about 8 GB. All of my genealogy files take up only about 3 GB of that space. I keep the multi-media files which I have linked to my Legacy DB within the same folder as my DB. My very large videos and extensive family photos are too large to keep within SugarSync, so I have them on a separate hard drive. Because Dropbox only allows for 2 GB of free storage, I use that for other, non-genealogy files. I love both services. As soon as I change a file, SugarSync or Dropbox will immediately sync that change with the file on the Web. Both have good security. I can access files in either service from any computer I own. SugarSync is a little more flexible in its set-up and other services than is Dropbox, but, as long as you're willing to move the requisite files to the default folder, either will work. On Monday, I gave a brief presentation on both services, and others, to a local gen society SIG and used links to a number of review and videos explaining each. I would suggest that you check out the Top Ten Reviews site for information about online storage services. They reviewed the pay versions of the storage applications, but the information still applies. They have an excellent video about why you should store your files online (as well as elsewhere) and a video review of SugarSync. There is also a good video on YouTube about Dropbox. Hope this helps.

Jenny, The problem you reported has been tested and is confirmed. A report has been recorded in our problem tracking system so this can be fixed. Thank you for helping us make Legacy a better program for everyone. The problem report number is 3844 if you wish to query the status of this problem in the future. I must say though that the programmers do not say when any particular problem will be fixed so all we will be able to tell you is whether the problem is still outstanding.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Sources
Dear Jerry, Many thanks to you and others for their comments. I have no problem with the difference between a master source record (eg Birth certificates) and source detail (an individual, specific, birth certificate). I thought that I would try and tidy up my records and check that all my info was cited correctly and systematically organised. Although I have been using Legacy for at least 10 years, I have never used the 'source citation'. All my info is under the 'research' tab (in the parlance of previous threads, I am a 'lumper'). I started with birth certificates created a master source 'Birth certificates' under 'Events, Birth'. I then added all my individual birth certificates - my research notes tend to say 'have birth cert' without much more info. This is all fine. I created a template (in Notepad) which I used to make sure that all the info was included and in the same order for each record. (I find this a very useful discipline, particularly with items such as wills where you need to extract and summarise the core information.) Moving next to marriage certificates, there is no 'Marriage' under 'Events'. Ergo, I want to create an 'Event' called 'Marriage' with a Master Source 'marriage certificates' and then list the details of individual marriage certificates along with the details for a given individual (again, using a template for consistency). However, I can't see how to edit 'Events' to include 'Marriage'. I don't want 'Marriage to be 'Unspecified' - that seems inappropriate. Further, I would like the two individuals who are married to share the same 'Source detail' Maybe I'm not using the Legacy system in the way it was designed to be used; if it gets too messy, I'll just revert to putting all the info into the 'Research' tab. All good wishes, Joan On 04/08/2011 04:46, Jerry wrote: Hi Joan. Others have already mentioned about the difference between the source record and the source detail, but I'll say it a different way. The source record is a master record that will be exactly the same for every person for whom it is used, whereas the source detail is the specific detail about page numbers or what-have-you that could be different for every person. You might already be aware of that, but it took me a while, when I first started working with Legacy, to comprehend the big distinction. The other thing I'm curious about, though, is why you would want to place a bunch of details in any master source that contain separate items for date of birth, place of birth, name, father, mother, etc. all lumped into the one master source, if I understood you correctly. My opinion is that duplicate information that is already a part of the record need not be repeated - for example, why repeat a person's name in the source detail unless it is a different name, in which case you would place that event as an Also Known As (Alias) name and indicate the source for that different name. Obviously, you must have a reason for doing what you are doing, but if you lump all that information under one master source, then really and truly, it does belong under the unspecified category.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Sources
Dear Connie, Thank you for your reply. On an individual's record (eg Jean Skeet) I have just clicked on 'Cite a Master Source' (from the 'books' icon bottom right of a record), chosen the source I wanted (eg 'Birth certificates'), then added the source detail (individual birth cert - here for Jean Skeet). This seems to have the desired effect of linking that information with the individual (All the details from Jean Skeet's birth certificate linked to Jean Skeet). I'm not sure how you copy anything to the 'Source Clipboard', nor how you go onto attach the source to an individual. (I seem to be doing all this the other way round?)

As far as I know, you can't change it. What you can do, however, is ignore it. Make sure you've copied the source to the Source Clipboard, then delete the citation to the Unspecified Event. Then, attach the source to the event or events you want it attached to, such as Name, Date of Birth, etc. (2) If that is not what you're asking, then all you should have to do is rename the source from your Master Source List (Master Source ListEdit).

All of these pertain to the marriage specifically. You can transcribe the entire marriage record here, you can scan and attach the original document, you can record anything you want here that pertains to the marriage itself. I would keep the marriage info OUT of the main events tab. There is no reason to tangle them up. If I were to use the marriage events icon, I might attach a newspaper announcement of the engagement, or the wedding announcement. You can do whatever you want. My only advice is, keep the marriage stuff within the marriage field and don't add marriage events to the main list of events if that makes sense. michele 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Joan, You do not have to create a marriage event. There are two ways to link a source to the marriage: 1. click on the sources Icon beside the marriage information to open the list of marriage sources 3. scroll the list of events for a person down to the Marr: (spouse name) and link your source there. There will be one Marr: (spouse name) entry for each of the person's spouses. Sources attached to that line will be linked to the marriage of the couple.

Dear Michele, Many thanks for this. What you describe is what I've been doing up to now, though without all the detail of witnesses etc - though, as you say, they could easily be added. I thought that using 'master sources' was the 'way to go' but I'm rapidly rethinking that it is really just extra clutter. Your email is very reassuring.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unsplit MasterSource
See the email from Jenny Benson about the fact that the button sometimes does not work when you first try it. If you click on edit then cancel without making any changes the button should start working correctly. You highlight a source by selecting it with the mouse. You can select multiple sources by holding down CTRL when you click on an additional source.
