RE: [LegacyUG] Source Name Filing System
I have always kept Census details where possible on the Parents Marriage notes when the family is together with the parents. If not then on their general notes if not married. I apply a general source associated with that census to life events for the individuals (occupation + location if working otherwise just residence) assigning the census source to those events and saying in the census detail whether the census is in the marriage notes (parents) marriage notes of parents (children) or general notes if not with the family. I use the Basic Source as that will transport via GEDCOM format to any other genealogy package. I used this process in Family Tree maker before I migrated to Legacy without any problems - I also migrate back to FTM via GEDCOM to check on any migration issues as I have both packages.

Sherry, I am happy to accept the need for work/discussion to be carried out off-list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing Pictures AND DATA AND ERROR LOG FILE
This reply is in fact meant to help all of you with these various issues. So please read and take to heart an earnest attempt to resolve your issues. I have 4 computers using Windows 7 (one of those is a 64-bit system. My database contains over 400,000 individuals and over 6,000 pictures) When you install Legacy you can install it in any directory you want..(ie, C:\Legacy7\) All the files in the default folders as they were in Windows XP and everything in Legacy will function. I add, copy, move, backup, paste, rename, and all basic functions from one to another (although you will have to copy to a public folder then move to the actual folder) I use dropbox for backup...not for database. But, I have on hundreds of occasions restored from these backups in dropbox to offsite computers at work, etc. I have never lost data, pictures, link to pictures, had errors writing to log files... Legacy is stable...and the testing methods are not perfect...but, if everyone does backups daily you may never have totally messed up data. I am rambling, but all is with good intent...please contact me off list I will try to guide you.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Name Filing System
I can't speak for all Sourewriter events but I raised this issue with Legacy When creating an email source using Sourcewriter and subsequently exporting the file as a GEDCOM, the Title of the source gets dropped for the words which come after the expression [(E-ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE),]. The Title gets referred to as ABBR in the GEDCOM and is not imported as the source Title into any other software. What's even worse, is that the ABBR field gets contacenated with the Comments field by some software, effectively making the source unintelligible. After that experience and the response from Legacy I avoid Sourcewriter:- If preservation of the source info when transferring between Legacy and another program is important to you then you will need to use the Basic Source System.

Re: [LegacyUG] location Tamer
Hi Terry, I've tried this several times, but get stuck trying to 'filter by group' I get the error message 'C:Documents and Settings\db2admin\my documents\Genealogy\locationTamer\sample.fdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. Your file 'Lincolntest' is in the directory C:\LocationTamer, as is my file Joan2010.fdb - which is the file I wanted to play with. There is no file 'sample.fdb' I think the problem is that I need a valid file - either 'Lincolntest.fdb' or' Joan2010.fdb' as the object for LocationTamer to work on - it's looking for 'sample.fdb', which doesn't exist, but how do you change the file which LocationTamer is operating on? (eg from 'sample.fdb to 'joan2010.fdb') Sorry I can't get it to work straight off. Joan On 27/08/2011 00:57, Terry Foster wrote: I'm a developer by trade and am fairly adept at Microsoft Access.

[LegacyUG] Strange missing display
I just brought up Legacy (v112 on XP) and noticed that my wife's parents did not display on the Family View. The Icon for parents for her shows the number 1, and when I hover over the icon, her parents names are displayed, but when I click on the icon, no parents are in the list. I can go to the name list, find her father and click on him and her parents are right there in Family View with my wife as a child. But when I click on her to put her in Family View, no parents are shown. I suppose that I can just unlink and relink, but I have no idea what caused this situation and if it has any other ramifications. I have run Check/Repair multiple times until no errors appear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Strange missing display
Thanks Ron. There was a ghost marriage. Don't know how it got there, and at first the icon for her parents showed just 1, but later it showed 2, so I unlinked the ghost marriage. Still don't know how it got there because I hadn't done anything with my wife's line for quite some time. But all is back now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Single Chronology for multiple people
I would suggest you use the Publisher and select each person you want as a chronology report and then you will generate a total report that has each person's chronology with a table of contents, page numbering, Index of people Places. You can then save as a PDF file or print this report. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 4:38 PM, Marnie Oakes marnie.oa...@verizon.netwrote: I would like to create a chronology for 3-4 generations of four brothers who all lived in the same area of Maine.

Re: Re: [LegacyUG] location Tamer
Joan, I took a look at the app tonight and I didn't make the mistake I thought I had made. (File this under: I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.) Are you running the MS Access version or the runtime version of the Location Tamer app? If you are running the MS Access version, you may see a warning about possibly unsafe macros or code when you first launch the app. You MUST enable the active content for the app to work. You have my solemn guarantee that I have not written any malicious code in the app. After re-reading the e-mail you sent it looks like you are trying to look at the tables in the database itself before the application has had the opportunity to link the tables. If it is the runtime app you are using, I'll need to scratch my head some more.
