 Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy searching

 Joan,

 There are two things that will affect how the names are sorted.

 First and most important:
 To sort in Date of Birth order, turn off the options to include AKAs and
 Married Names in the list. As Dennis mentioned in one of his replies
 names are not sorted in birth order when AKAs are turned on. To turn off
 the AKAs use the option button at the bottom of the search list results
 screen.

 There is also one other thing that can make dates appear to be out of
 order. The lifespan years in the display will use a Chr/Bapt date as the
 beginning year if no birth date is entered. That chr/bapt year is NOT
 used for the sort by birth date. If there is no real birth dates entered
 then those will sort to the top of the list without reference to any
 Chr/Bapt date that may be entered and which is displayed as the start
 year of the lifespan.

 Hi!

 When searching for a family name in Legacy, the names come in a random
 date order.

 Eg, I have just searched for individuals with the surname 'Linnell'
 There are 15 'William Linnell's in my tree, but in the search, their
 dates are not listed chronologically by birth order
 they start:
 Linnell, William (1821-1880)
 Linnell, William (1833-1837)
 Linnell, William (1740-1779)
 Linnell, William (1767-1832)
 Linnell, William (1740-1817)
 etc

 How can I persuade Legacy to order similarly named individuals
 chronologically?
 in the above eg,  listed by birth order:
 Linnell, William (1740-1779)  (earliest birth)
 Linnell, William (1740-1817)
 Linnell, William (1767-1832)
 Linnell, William (1821-1880)
 Linnell, William (1833-1837)  (latest birth)

 Many thanks

 Joan

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy searching

OK,  the key is to give a birth year.  I don't have AKA or married names
checked.  Going through all my umpteen William Linnells and giving them
a birth year now sorts in date order.  Many thanks for that.

All good wishes,

Joan

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy freezes and flickers.

2011-08-21 Thread Brian Lehman

Hello,
Thanks for the replies, may be I can explain this better.
I am using the split screen view, opening the same family file in both
but viewing different people.
In one file (person), I am opening all the screens to get to and view
how I wrote the source details. Not copying/pasting anything.
I then close all the screens in that file, then open the other file and
go to the same person and hand type the source data I want.
No screens are left open as you can't do anything else without closing
all the screens.
I should also say, this flickering is not the usual flickering that
occurs as screens opens.
My problem flickering, is just the icons and the program freezes.
And it doesn't happen all the time, but 5 times last week.
One time it froze, I had to shut down with task manager, restarted and
did a complete file maintenance,shut it down again, normally.
Then opened it up again and went to exactly the same split screens and
did the same thing and it froze again!
I don't know what to do, reload the program, or the recent update?
Is anybody else experiencing this?

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures

2011-08-21 Thread Mary Fowler Leek

Joan,

If you have a ton of these attached as graphic images, then my suggestion might 
not have value but if you have only a limited number, I would suggest using the 
free graphic viewer from Faststone to convert your graphic images of 
certificates into PDF files, then reattach as a file. This will avoid attached 
documents being displayed on your family view as a photo.

I've used this utility for several years and convert all of my genealogy 
certificate images to PDF files before attaching. After this, one click in 
Legacy and the PDF file will open into Adobe Reader, where you can easily study 
the document. About the only images I regularly attach in Legacy that are 
graphic files are people photos and tombstone photos.

One image this works beautifully with are the Texas Death Certificates, offered 
online as a graphic file. I just convert them to PDF files and attach. So easy 
to go back and review them, or email a copy to another researcher. In Adobe 
Reader, you can increase the size on screen, to bring up close, details on the 
certificate.

To convert, just open your image in the viewer, do a 'save as' and select PDF. 
Your original image is untouched, leaving you with the graphic image of the 
document plus the same document in PDF format.

[LegacyUG] Potential Problems

I'm having a problem with the program freezing when running 'Potential

I've rebooted and also done a 'File maintenance' but it still wont work.

It runs to 100% but then freezes.

Anyone had a similar problem?

[LegacyUG] List of people without pictures?

2011-08-21 Thread Bob Bashford


I've tried looking in the archives  help files for this, but maybe
I'm using the wrong search terms.

This is what I want ...

1)  I tag all individuals born after 1900.

2)  Within the tagged list, I want to find everyone who does not have
a picture attached.

I want this list to send out to the family asking for photos.

I can't find any way to do this in Legacy or LTools.

Am I missing something obvious?

Re: [LegacyUG] List of people without pictures?

2011-08-21 Thread Sherry/Support

There's a back door to this search since you can't search for who has pictures.

Go to View  Scrapbook.  Select Individuals with Tag and then click on
Print Multimedia LIst.  You can also select to print tagged Marriages
as well as what Picture Galleries to include (Individual, Events,
Marriage, Marriage Event)

This will give you a list of those who do have pictures linked.

Then you can go to your Name List and untag everyone who has a picture
linked, which will leave you with a tagged list of those with no
pictures linked.

Sherry

Re: [LegacyUG] Text/Comments versus Scanned Image

I add the actual text into the "text/comments" field because it's a fast way to see the details of the source. I've scanned quite a few documents, but haven't yet attached them to anything in Legacy so I have to either open them from my C drive or go to the 3-ring binders where I have the documents filed. I think this is another case of "do what you feel is best."-Original Message-

Re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems

2011-08-21 Thread Sherry/Support

First, with Legacy closed, go to the Legacy folder on your hard drive.
Delete the RptProbs.usr and ProbsList.usr files.  If that doesn't
help, go back to the folder, delete the two files again and then go to
the c:\Legacy\Data folder (or whichever folder you have your Family
File stored in) and delete the .PPL file (it has the same first name
as your Family File).  Then update to the latest build of Legacy if
you don't already have it.


Sincerely,
Sherry

Re: [LegacyUG] Text/Comments versus Scanned Image

2011-08-21 Thread Ron Ferguson

Priscilla,

You do not *need* to do anything in any specific way should you feel it a waste 
of time/space, or you have a better way of doing things. To answer your 
question: I don’t, but if there is an important point (not very often!!) then I 
will add it, but if it is *that* important I might add it to the Event Notes 
instead. I will never duplicate information in both Events and Sources.

No ... I want only folks who do not have a picture attached to their

Assuming you can handle #1, #2 involves SQL.

In this case, something like:

SELECT tblIR.IDIR FROM tblIR LEFT OUTER JOIN tblBR ON (tblIR.IDIR =
tblBR.IDIR AND tblBR.IDType = 0) WHERE tblBR.IDIR IS NULL

To tag these individuals all you need to do is to use the above SELECT
in an UPDATE query:

UPDATE tblIR SET tblIR.TagN = 1 WHERE tblIR.IDIR IN (paste your select
query here)

[LegacyUG] Printing Sources in Books

2011-08-21 Thread Gociao

I am composing a book that includes 1) a Descendant Register Book
Report; 2) two Ancestor Book Reports (one for the husband and one for
the wife). When I preview the Descendant Register Book Report and the
Ancestor Book reports separately, the source citations do not print out
(this is what I want); However, when I preview the complete Book, the
source citations print even though the print source citations are
grayed out in the preferences sections.
How do I get the source citations NOT to print in the finished book?
Using Legacy 7.5.0.89.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Since you are making a book with multiple reports included you must be
using the publishing centre. In the Pub Centre the source options are
NOT specified in the individual reports.
Click on the Additional Tab then on the Source Options button to set
your source options, those will apply to every chapter/report in the
whole book.

I didn't bother to enter the full text version if I had scan of the
document attached, but following one of Geoff's webinars (1) I have been
doing so because Geoff said that he did this so that all the text would
be available if he sent someone a Gedcom.  Seemed like a good idea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures

Dear Mary,

Interesting idea.  I use pdf's a lot as they are a most useful format
for sending unmangled documents!

Do you happen to know where Legacy stores this sort of file?  I keep all
the Legacy files I can lay hands on in a folder called 'Legacy data' so
that I can back the files up easily  systematically.

Many thanks

 Joan,

 If you have a ton of these attached as graphic images, then my suggestion 
 might not have value but if you have only a limited number, I would suggest 
 using the free graphic viewer from Faststone to convert your graphic images 
 of certificates into PDF files, then reattach as a file. This will avoid 
 attached documents being displayed on your family view as a photo.

 I've used this utility for several years and convert all of my genealogy 
 certificate images to PDF files before attaching. After this, one click in 
 Legacy and the PDF file will open into Adobe Reader, where you can easily 
 study the document. About the only images I regularly attach in Legacy that 
 are graphic files are people photos and tombstone photos.

 One image this works beautifully with are the Texas Death Certificates, 
 offered online as a graphic file. I just convert them to PDF files and 
 attach. So easy to go back and review them, or email a copy to another 
 researcher. In Adobe Reader, you can increase the size on screen, to bring up

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Pictures

Mary,

The graphics viewer I use all the time is the brilliant free 'Irfanview'
- that can also convert to pdf format.

All the best

 Do you happen to know where Legacy stores this sort of file?

If you look at ToolsOptionsLocations you can see a list of the default
locations for different types of file.

But you don't have to use the defaults.  You can put your files anywhere
you choose.  If you click the appropriate button on the above screen you
can see all the places where you have chosen to store files which you
have attached in Legacy.  My list has 108 entries!

Re: [LegacyUG] iPad 2 and Legacy 7

2011-08-21 Thread Cheryl Rothwell

I bought the bluetooth keyboard and, at the risk of sounding goofy, it
changed my life, at least my life with Apple. I think it tripled my use,
even non keyboard. I shove it in my purse with the iPad2 - probably not for
you. The magnetic cover for the iPad2 is in the drawer and I have a cover
with a built in hand holder and a stand.

I run Families on the iPad2 and the iPod, have not tried to enter info but I
am currently on a trip which includes research so that will be happening.

  Hi Gene,

 I'm also running Families on my iPad 2 64GB, as well as on
 an iPhone 3Gs 32GB.  Very much enjoy the app on both
 devices.  The iPad 2 is much more practical from a
 readability standpoint, but not so portable.  I'm toying
 with the idea of buying a bluetooth keyboard and case for
 the iPad 2, as it will be much more portable than my HP
 TouchSmart Tm2 laptop.  Carrying an iPad 2 is somewhat
 awkward without some sort of handle, and that's a priority
 for me when I buy a case more enclosing than the magnetic
 leather cover I bought with the device when it was new.
 I've got jury duty the end of September, and plan on taking
 it with me there, so I hope to have a new case, and probably
 a keyboard by then, which will increase usefulness of the
 iPad considerably.  There is some increased display ability
 on the iPad versus the iPhone, with 5 generations visible in
 pedigree view.

[LegacyUG] To Geoff - Text/Comments versus Scanned Image

2011-08-21 Thread Olwyn Bourne


Geoff are you a touch typist?  Do you use any OCR software?  If yes,what is it? 
Whatever you use is what I will use (you can email directly).  Now don't tell 
me off because
this is not about Legacy per se. It is Legacy which has created the
need. Like Jenny I spend a lot of time typing and for a pick and pecker 
that's a lot of effort (although worth it)  Olwyn

 I didn't bother to enter the full text version if I had scan of the

 doing so because Geoff said that he did this so that all the text would
 be available if he sent someone a Gedcom.  Seemed like a good idea.

This question was asked very recently and basically the answer was no, but
you may be able to get somewhere using lines of multiple descent - suggest
you read the archives.

Legacy cannot do what I think your after. Tree Draw ! Works great for
all in one charts or any other type chart. I have had it a long time and
enjoy the output. There is a large learning curve.

I am not Geoff (in case you hadn't noticed!!) but I find ABBYY
Screenshot Reader (which I think might have been recommended by a LUGger
- many thanks) very useful for quickly copying text from web pages to
Legacy.  So useful, in fact, that I was prepared to pay for it!  By
chance, it happens to be the free version of ABBYY OCR software which
came with my scanner and I use that for documents.

I also find FreeClip (which I have recommended here before) a real
timesaver.  I have lots of little chunks of text that I use frequently
(such as Census dates, templates for entering info from Certificates 
Registers, the numbers  titles of oft-cited FHL films) stored in
FreeClip and paste them into the relevant fields in Legacy as the need
arises.

Joan,

Apologies for my last response, I misread your post. However the answer is
still, I am afraid, no. Tree Draw has been suggested as a possibility, but
it would take an awful lot of messing around to get what you want ( if at
