[LegacyUG] Broken Ancestor Line

[Geoff Poskitt]

Hi,
I am having a problem with Legacy and would like to know if I am doing 
something wrong or if it is possibly a bug. I have Legacy set up to show my 
direct ancestors in Bold type and the relationship calculator running. All has 
been fine up until last week when I had a break through on my mothers ancestor 
line, and I was able to add another four generations onto the previous earliest 
ancestor of this line. This had been a dead-end for many years and certainly 
before I started using Legacy.
The problem is that the newly added ancestors do not show up in bold as my 
direct line and the relationship calculator does not show their relationship. 
The last ancestor in bold is the one I always had. Legacy appears to recognise 
the respect relationships correctly otherwise. i.e., the newly found parents of 
the previous parentless dead-end are recognised as such.

I have tried unlinking and relinking but nothing seems to work.
Needless to say I am running the latest build of Legacy 7.5.0.112  (Deluxe).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Best regards,
Geoff Poskitt

Hi Geoff,

 I have Legacy set up to show my direct ancestors in Bold type and the
 relationship calculator running... The problem is that the newly added
 ancestors do not show up in bold as my direct line and the
 relationship calculator does not show their relationship.

Relationships have to be calculated from time-to-time, they are not
added on the fly.  When you're done adding some people, run set
relationships to update those new people.

The relationship calculator is a separate tool whereby you can discover
the relationship between any two people in your tree, if there is any.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
thanks very much for the tip which solved my problem. I also deduced from
your hint that I have to run the Set direct Line as preferred to get the
new direct ancestors to show up in bold type.
Best regards,
Geoff

 came up with for mine :

 Scotland, Lanark County, Dennistoun, Register of Births, 1885: entry 1156,
 Mary Smith, 13 June; digital image, ScotlandsPeople
 (http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ : accessed 31 July 2011); citing
 Statutory Births no. 644/03 1156

 I would prefer to have one Source for Scotlands People and use the detail
 for the particular source. I am not sure how to break up the above example,
 or a better idea. I would prefer it in basic source format, not using Source
 Writer. Any ideas welcome.

Personally, I wouldn't want to have one Master Source for Scotlands
People any more than I have one for Ancestry or one for FindMyPast or
one for FamilySearch.

I do use SourceWriter and I think my Source Citation for (for example) a
Death is very similar to those in the blog you mention:

Scotland Statutory Registers, Peebles, Peeblesshire, 768/00: page 16, no
47, 1916, George Adam Duncan Camperdown Fergusson; digital image,
Deaths 1855-2006, ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk: 24
April 2005).

Your own example seems to include all the same information and does the
job very adequately, I would have thought.

[LegacyUG] What about the future of my genealogy data

[Luis Salreta]

I'm 63 years old and I think that, maybe, I will not live forever ;-))

What must I do to maintain my information genealogy so my descendants can use it?

Suppose that in the future Legacy disappears (knock on wood) so they don’t have it to maintain the database (or don't want to buy the program).

I’m assuming that:

1.   The export to GEDCOM format is the best way, but does it maintain ALL the information?
 It has the advantage that all the genealogy software can read it and being in .txt format even without a program it can be used. 

2.   Without computer what’s the best report to capture all the information in the database, so I can print it (for instance, annually) and keep it also in .txt format.



It’s a little paranoic of me but I would like to know what is your opinion about this.



Thanks

I have a question regarding the individuals event labels.  I had
changed the Bapt label to Age (at death).  This changed that event
globally, which is what I wanted.  However, when I open the individual
event window, the Bapt label is still there and the Age label is not.
I'm this have been this way all along, I just didn't notice it before.
 Would some explain this to me.

Re: [LegacyUG]

[Ron Ferguson]

Bill,

If I understand you correctly, what you are saying is that you changed the
labels adjacent to the boxes on Family View, but the Individual Information
Screen is showing the Baptism Event in the Vital Events Box. This is
correct; what you changed was the instruction as to what should be displayed
in Family View, you have not, and indeed cannot, change the required Baptism
Event. To express this a different way, the Individual Screen is where data
is entered, it is not for displaying - although it obviously has to for you
to see what has been entered to enable editing etc.

RE: [LegacyUG] What about the future of my genealogy data

[David C Abernathy]

I would not rely on ANY program to preserve my data. I would and do keep 
updated information at the likes of WorldConnect. I also will provide the 
account and password to one of my members of the family that has interests in 
family research. Maybe the public can only access the “Privatized” data but the 
person with the account and password can access the full data and down load a 
GEDCOM. True the attachments such as images will be lost, but those I do not 
use much at all. I have used a few images which are linked to the images stored 
at a free site of Rootsweb. Have a look at 
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET

RE: [LegacyUG] Citing Scotlands People records - basic source

[Charles Apple]

Jennifer,

My Ancestors came from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, England, and France. I have 
done as Jennie Benson suggests. Using the Source Writer I develop a master 
source and citation based on the appropriate template for Birth, Death, 
Marriage, etc., regardless of what specific country the people are from, or 
living in at that time. Personally, I would not want to lump all people from a 
particular Country into one Master Source.

I think this question can be Legacy related... I definitely keep a hard

software program, although I don't know why! ;) The question could be,
Sherry, which report/chart that Legacy prints do you recommend that could
capture all, if not most, of the data we've entered about families that we
could possibly update on a time schedule set by ourselves? That way we
aren't entering this information in for nothing if future generations have
no interest in using the program itself. I know compiling a book would be an
appropriate way, but if we don't make it to that point what can we do in the

Re: [LegacyUG] What about the future of my genealogy data

[mbstx]

I agree with Monica re her question as to "which Legacy Report/Chart captures most, if not all the data...collected." I think it's probably one of the descendants reports, but which one is really best? My nephew is the only person who will survive me, and he is definitely not interested in purchasing Legacy software, and at this point I don't want to put my whole tree on the web. Marianne

Re: [LegacyUG] Broken Ancestor Line

[Tim Rosenlof]

Howdy Geoff.

Version 6 would do so each time you add them automatically. Version 7
does not do so. One would need to run 'set direct line as proffered' if
you wish it to show your relations to the person added. Depending on the
size of your database determines how long it will take. I personally
only run the tool as needed.

 been a dead-end for many years and certainly before I started using Legacy.
 The problem is that the newly added ancestors do not show up in bold as
 my direct line and the relationship calculator does not show their
 relationship. The last ancestor in bold is the one I always had. Legacy
 appears to recognise the respect relationships correctly otherwise.
 i.e., the newly found parents of the previous parentless dead-end are
 recognised as such.
 I have tried unlinking and relinking but nothing seems to work.
 Needless to say I am running the latest build of Legacy 7.5.0.112 (Deluxe).
 Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
 Best regards,
 Geoff Poskitt

Re: [LegacyUG] What about the future of my genealogy data

I am pretty sure that the report which will contain the maximum data from one’s 
database would be “Lines of Multiple Descent”.

  I agree with Monica re her question as to which Legacy Report/Chart captures 
most, if not all the data...collected.  I think it's probably one of the 
descendants reports, but which one is really best?  My nephew is the only 
person who will survive me, and he is definitely not interested in purchasing 
Legacy software, and at this point I don't want to put my whole tree on the 
web.  Marianne

  I think this question can be Legacy related... I definitely keep a hard 
(paper) copy of everything for exactly that reason. I don't know if my children 
or other family members would really want to get on to a genealogy software 
program, although I don't know why! ;) The question could be, Sherry, which 
report/chart that Legacy prints do you recommend that could capture all, if not 
most, of the data we've entered about families that we could possibly update on 
a time schedule set by ourselves? That way we aren't entering this information 
in for nothing if future generations have no interest in using the program 
itself. I know compiling a book would be an appropriate way, but if we don't 
make it to that point what can we do in the meantime?

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Scotlands People records - basic source

[my genealogy email]

You could set up Scotlands People as a repository for those sources, which
they are. That is how I have Ancestry, FHL, etc. I find that the Source
writer is easier to get the source in the format you want plus they have
templates for Scotland sources.

[LegacyUG] Source Templates for Newspapers

[s megraw]

I watched Geoff's webinar on entering obituaries from newspaper sources. In his 
example, he used Print editions (microfilm or original). When entering the 
city (or lowest jurisdiction), the value shows in both the 'Footnote/Endnote 
Citation' (parentheses) AND 'Bibliography'. However, when I use the Online 
images (issued by unrelated content provider), that information only shows in 
the 'Bibliography'. Is this a bug?

Re: [LegacyUG] What about the future of my genealogy data

A self viewing file with a gedcom sounds like the file created with
GENViewer  That doesn't require any software to be installed on
the computer, but how far in the future will this program still be
supported is the question.


I have older programs which can't be run on my current system

Re: [LegacyUG]

[Willard Ellis]

Thanks Ron,

You are right.  I was able to change the labels in the family view, but the
individuals event labels did not change.  I poked here and there to try and
change the event window labels, but wasn't able to.  I thought they might
not be changable, but I figured I would ask.  Thanks again.

 Bill,

 If I understand you correctly, what you are saying is that you changed the
 labels adjacent to the boxes on Family View, but the Individual Information
 Screen is showing the Baptism Event in the Vital Events Box. This is
 correct; what you changed was the instruction as to what should be
 displayed
 in Family View, you have not, and indeed cannot, change the required
 Baptism
 Event. To express this a different way, the Individual Screen is where data
 is entered, it is not for displaying - although it obviously has to for you
 to see what has been entered to enable editing etc.

 I have a question regarding the individuals event labels.  I had
 changed the Bapt label to Age (at death).  This changed that event
 globally, which is what I wanted.  However, when I open the individual
 event window, the Bapt label is still there and the Age label is not.
 I'm this have been this way all along, I just didn't notice it before.
 Would some explain this to me.

I won't use Source Writer as on export to GEDCOM it scrambles the source and

However, I would be interested to see the templates for Scotland sources, but

[LegacyUG] Photos

[sue klein]

Hello,
Over time I have added baptismal, marriage or burial records to the
respective events
( i.e. after Christened there is the space for notes, address or
photo -I did not create a Event).

I have read in the past that these photos are not printed in reports.
Does anyone know if there is a plan in the
future somewhere to allow these to be printed when creating reports (
or books such as Ancestors
or Descendants)?

With the number of people I have in my file, I can not imagine adding
these manually ( many ancestors from
Québec where these records are available).

Thx
Sue
