Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
I tend to agree that this topic has run its life cycle, but I do wish to correct a misunderstanding in your point 3. Those of us who add the house and street to the location are not trying to enter the mail address, but simply the full location. This is a different issue to that of the 4 field convention not working for those of us across the pond which arises because these 4 fields do not correspond with the way in which we identify a location. I do use the Address Records but only for mailing addresses etc for living people and repositories.

This location thing has been beat to death, not only in the last couple of days, but in previous spurts of similar threads. So, let me add my thoughts. 1. It is my opinion that a single field in a database that uses a csv format within the field is poor design. It would make more sense to me to use 6 fields(or whatever number makes people happy) and designate 4 of these fields to contain the necessary information for geocoding. 2. If #1 was adopted, people who are trying to force reports to read the way they want it would have at least two fields to play with. 3. If #1 was adopted there would be no need to attempt to mix mailing addresses and geographic locations. Mailing addresses can be very confusing when you attempt to locate it on a map. Here is an example. Georgetown, Tennessee is located in Bradley County, Tennessee. The Georgetown post office services people who live in Bradley, Hamilton and Meigs Counties. People who live in Brittsville, Meigs County, Tennessee get their mail at a Georgetown address. People that for years received their mail from the Charleston, Tennessee are now using the Georgetown post office. And the beat goes on. Perhaps we should attempt to use the software as designed and ask for enhancements in reports etc. to give us the output we desire. bgj -Original Message- From: Ron Ferguson [mailto:ronfergy@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 5:26 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
G'day Jenny, had a look at the map of NSW and was supprised to see you're at the same geographical height of Canberra. I know that, many hundred of towns Downunder eg. Timber Creek, NT, are so small that they're not only the town but eg. could be the council at the same time as they are upto hundreds of kilometers from the next big city eg. Darwin. But I know there are many citys where the 4 field format could be used without any problems. E.g. Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, etc. In your case it could be Ulladulla, Ulladulla, NSW, Australia Or Ulladulla, Gilmore, NSW, Australia. using the electorla area. btw. How do you say it, eg. like: Youlladulla (for a nonen Aussie) For example there is a city called Esslingen in southern Germany near Stuttgart. 1. the city is called Esslingen, 2. the district, county or eg. coucil is also called Esslingen 3. in the eg. State Baden-Wuerttember, 4. Germany Thus the 4 field location would be Esslingen, Esslingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany I think the mistake you're making is mixing of the community and electoral boarders as these never have to be the same. They could be the same for some time. The electoral boarders are mainly of interest for the political side of research. The communal for the research of the location and it's boarders. Don't remember which tool for Legacy showing the problems with boarder changes in the past, but it was a very good example, showing how boarder changes in a young growing country, eg. The USA, can be very important for locating the location data. Town, County, State, Country. Think of your prior boardes. The example I'd like'll use in the next emails will be for Mitchell Park, in the council of Marion (south of Adelaide), South Australia, Australia. This is a good example of how the 4 field location works around the world.

Bernhard In Australia we only use town and state, so 3 fields with country. The town of Ulladulla, NSW, Australia, for example, is in the local government area of Shoalhaven, the Federal electorate of Gilmore and the State electorate of South Coast, but none of those would be used in a location. Jenny I simply can't remember exactly what the problem was. 5 years ago I had computer problems and lost all archived e-mails. I know, however, that it was sufficiently serious or annoying for me to contact Legacy support and then, after their advice, to spend a significant amount of time correcting all my locations. Certainly, if you feed that address into the Geo search engine, it looks for a town of High Street in a county of Morden. I'm sure that there would have been more to it than that. To all. If you record a birth location as Smallville Hospital, 123, Small Street, Smallville, rest of location, what do you use the birth address field for? How do you handle a situation where ancestors living in the same house over 3 censuses, are shown as 125 Cundy Street, Sheffield on the first and third census, but 125 Cundy Street, Nether Hallam on the second one? Don't you have thousands of locations? I have a small database (3300 individuals and 850 marriages) but even just using town as my smallest entity I have almost 800 locations. If I split each location intoindividual addresses, it would probably triple the number of locations. Maybe I should revert to the old scheme again, but putting street addresses back into locations will take a Looong time. What are the advantages? Is it actually worth worrying about? Thanks to all for the advice so far. This is getting a bit away from the original question, but is still on the topic of locations, so I don't see a need to change the title.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Bernhard, don't confuse us poor Aussies anymore, we already have Wagga Wagga which is only ever called Wagga, and Woy Woy which is never called just Woy, please no Ulladulla, Ulladulla !(just kidding) and I doubt if even the locals of Ulladulla would know they were in Gilmore electorate unless there was an election due - electoral boundaries seem to be a moveable object in Australia, our house has been in three different electorates in 30 years, personally I would never include that in a location. As you have suggested, the 4 fields could be used to include a suburb of one of our major cities eg Glebe, Sydney, NSW, Australia but it's not something most Australians would use unless you were trying to describe the general location of Glebe to someone.

My problem, all those years ago, was that when I entered a location as Morden, Surrey, England Legacy was able to deduce that Morden was a town. However, if I entered High Street, Morden, Surrey, England, Legacy assumed that the town was High Street, and this confused the issue somewhat. The advice I was given then was to only put towns in the location field and so I spent a couple of weeks straightening it all out and here I am. I would love to go back to the old scheme, but the 4-field location means that I would have to put random commas in the middle of addresses which have no rational reason for being there. Everyone says how wonderfully flexible Legacy is and, in most cases, this is true. However, in one of the most important areas of genealogy, getting locations correct, Legacy is about as flexible as a 6-inch I-Beam. The really annoying thing is that it would be so simple to fix. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox and get back to the issue in question. The simplest way, I guess, would be to have a location of At Sea, use the death address field for more info on the location as and when that becomes available and put the rest into Medical Notes/Death Cause.

Bernard, As I have said many times, I do not see the value of using the Address field on the birth, death, etc. events. I KNOW how to use it but I choose NOT to for the reasons I have given. Legacy is very flexible and I don't like how those addresses appear in my reports and webpages. Which ones I use is irrelevant. I use the addresses as Ron Ferguson does and stated just a few messages ago - for the addresses of repositories. BTW, I don't publish information about living people. And the census case was not mine but Tony's. One last point, I am an IT professional. Please don't insult my intelligence by telling me that I shouldn't use terms that I don't understand.

These individuals lived in less than 400 locations. To record an event eg. the location for the birth is very simple. 1.add the data of the birth 2.click on the plus sign on the right of the birth field 3.click on it and then click on the Birth Addrress 4.in this window you have all you need!! you can enter the address and the exact location without adding a new location for the birth. First of all you could have a great international legal problem ,eg. Europe, if you publish data like the addresses and these are from living. You say you don'like the output of the reports using the present location outputs, but which ones as we have about 20 possibilies. For your Census case it could be that these persons where living somewhere else at to the time between the 1. and 3. census. As you say Legacy is a relational database do you what it means entering Eg. Smallville Hospital, 123, Small Street, Smallville, rest of location I don't think so. If so, please describe it's function. If not, please don't use terms you can't describe but only heard about.

Any locations that you enter in a where field (ie for place of Birth, Baptism, Death, Burial, Event) are all stored in a long list by Legacy. When you want to enter a location you have used before, you will find that Legacy remembers it because it has checked its list and will autofill the field for you once you've entered a few letters. When you need to edit a location or delete one or just look at the list go to ViewMaster ListsLocation... and make your changes there. Suppose you had written Hillside Cemetery, Toledo, Chase, KS just once, in Joe Bloggs's Burial location field and you went to Joe's Information page and changed the address to Topeka. This would add a new location of Hillside Cemetery, Topeka, Chase, KS to the Master List but would not delete the incorrect one. It's probably a good idea for you to click on OptionsPurge unused on the Master Locations screen as you may have a few unwanted entries.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Joan, if I understand you and think you're rigth, shouldn't it be time for the members of the UK or GB, not speaking for the Commonwealth, to have one postal system for all locations or is this ONLY a historical problem. I hope I'm right and that Ron and I mean the same. There is a great difference between the ADDRESS and the LOCATION. Historical addresses and their locations are a hard ones to documenting locate. We have to differiate between an addresses and its location. A LOCATION is the place, eg. a tombstone, town or village, where something happened. This position will stay the same after hundreds of years. As the names of addresses have changed many times in the last century it can be difficult to find the location. There is a very good examples like in Russia eg. The name, addresses could have changed many times in the past 80 years but the location is still the same. Saint Petersburg, Leningard, Saint Petersburg. Addresses should not be saved in the LOCATION data but in the other possibilities we have in Legacy. Perhaps this was a small help for help for you.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Ron, sorry you're barking up the wrong tree. I can't see a double commas? You're right there aren't any double commas but as can be seen in Paul's example Townsville, , Queensland, Australia there is a blank between the two commas. For a notation using the 4 field version it is usual to separate two commas with a blank to make better readable. These extra commas can be removed when printing reports. In Paul's example we have a typical example of using the internationaly more common use of 4 fields for a location. 1. we have the town of Townsville 2. we have a missing county, district, council or what it may be called there. 3. we have the state of Queensland 4. we have the counrty of Australia.

Betty, Sounds like you have them in the Locations, as Mike suggested, you will find the Master List at ViewMaster ListsLocations. Find the one which contains “Topeka” and highlight it, click the ‘Combine With’ button, then find the record with “Toldeo” in it, again highlight the record and click ‘Combine With’. All changed Job done'. However if you have Topeka correctly in some locations, you will have to change each record individually.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Tony, I don't care how old you are or where you live but about what you to think about changes. But nobody is too old to learn somthing new. In some ways you're right. Back in prior 1999 with version 3.x it was much easier to use Legacy. Legacy had fewer options. Legacy as we all has grown up and thus having new features. Not staying uptodate has brought many problems for those not using every new versions in the past. You shouldn't get back to your old idea and enter all data in the locations. That's the wrong way.

The more I think back about this issue, the more I think it was with a much earlier version of Legacy (Legacy 4?) and long before the mapping feature was invented. I've done a few experiments with using street addresses in locations and can't find anything which would cause any angst. Maybe the problem I had was fixed in an upgrade or new version. I suspect it might have been with the GEO database which is pretty well redundant when using the mapping feature to get Lat and Long. Anyway, I think I'll be going back to the old idea of putting everything into locations. But not all at once. Thanks to everyone for the help and advice.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Bernhard, I'm not sure why you insist that everyone has to enter location data based on the way that you have determined is the correct way. The beauty of Legacy is that each person has the ability to use the program, and enter data the way the individual has chosen to enter the data. Your insistence that if folks don't enter data the way you say it should be entered they are doing it wrong is totally insulting.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Bernhard, Please don't tell someone that the way they are doing something is the wrong way just because it's not the way you have chosen to do it. There is nothing wrong with putting all of the data for a location in the Location field! It only is an issue if you use the Geo database.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Bgj, WOW!! You're saying this topic has been beat to death and at the same time qoute. 1 it's my opinion that a single field in a database that uses a csv format within the field is poor design About which fields in the database are takling about Show and example and show it. 2. at the moment I'll not comment due to missing answer to #1 3. I've the feeling that you're mistaking the postal and gegraphical loctations. Where I live with area with only about 90 km² we have over 2000 towns and only one general postal office. In this area the 4 field format is working perfectliy even for about 300 years. At the moment I don't see your problem. Perhaps you have better examples. looking at what you have is: The Georgetown post office services people who live in Bradley, Hamilton and Meigs County. just looking at what you sent was very interesting!!

This location thing has been beat to death, not only in the last couple of days, but in previous spurts of similar threads. So, let me add my thoughts. 1. It is my opinion that a single field in a database that uses a csv format within the field is poor design. It would make more sense to me to use 6 fields(or whatever number makes people happy) and designate 4 of these fields to contain the necessary information for geocoding. 2. If #1 was adopted, people who are trying to force reports to read the way they want it would have at least two fields to play with. 3. If #1 was adopted there would be no need to attempt to mix mailing addresses and geographic locations. Mailing addresses can be very confusing when you attempt to locate it on a map. Here is an example. Georgetown, Tennessee is located in Bradley County, Tennessee. The Georgetown post office services people who live in Bradley, Hamilton and Meigs Counties. People who live in Brittsville, Meigs County, Tennessee get their mail at a Georgetown address. People that for years received their mail from the Charleston, Tennessee are now using the Georgetown post office. And the beat goes on. Perhaps we should attempt to use the software as designed and ask for enhancements in reports etc. to give us the output we desire. bgj -Original Message- From: Ron Ferguson [mailto:ronfergy@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 5:26 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Legacy
Please no pictures or attachments to the LUG list and especially not animations. HTML is ok, but not with graphics. We have a lot of listers still on dial-up or who have metered service, which means they either pay by the amount of data they download or are limited in how much they can download. Graphics only add to that load, so please be considerate of others when on mailing lists and reserve the cute stuff for personal emails. I'm glad you're finding Legacy easy to use!

[LegacyUG] Not Responding and Backups
1. The electricity went off yesterday while I was working. I opened Legacy
again and didn't notice any oddities. Most of today I’ve been comparing 20 pgs
of names submitted to me. At one point it hung on marriages – after clicking
on the marriage icon I got a blank marriage screen and couldn’t get out a
conventional way, so I used task manager to stop the program, which it said was
Not Responding. When I opened it again I had the same man and woman listed as
second marriages for each – just same names listed twice, and another person as
wife of my ‘main’ subject; I was able to unlink him. The 2 marriages weren’t
in the index as 2 people. Deleted and reentered.
2. I’ve had ‘Legacy Not Responding’ – just a couple of times since I’ve had
it. Do I do something to cause that? Like start typing or enter before it has
digested the last move??
3. With all of that as a preface, I just found 2nd marriage info in my
comparison that I thought I had entered months ago and the ‘wife’ is only
connected to her parents now and they have no ancestors, I would not
have entered them 'loose' – is it possible to ‘look at’ or ‘Compare’ a backup,
or open it under another name? I suppose if I Restore it will overwrite my
current files and delete anything I did the past 2-3 days, which may not have
been a lot I spent a lot of time on findagrave and ancestry; but I don't know
what would be lost. I wasn’t sure I should backup after the electricity
stopped in case entries were damaged. If I could just look at an older one
maybe there were children, siblings, and more links connected with that
marriage?? (If so, where do I even find physical backups {not under File}? I
use the default with current date.)

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
I doubt it, for screens I much prefer text names – and I do have quite a good memory for numbers – terrible on names though! A point of potential confusion is that many already have the RIN at the top (and I refer to this often).

Re: [LegacyUG] Not Responding and Backups
Betty,
Firstly I would try FileFile MaintenanceCheck Repair – might do it but might
not.
Your problems could well be created by the electricity failure. I hope that you
had a back up, and if so I suggest that you use FileRestore to run it, but
when asked to save use a new file name. Check that to see if it is as it should
be. You will then have to repeat the work since the last back-up.
If not I would reinstall Legacy, and repeat.

1. The electricity went off yesterday while I was working. I opened Legacy
again and didn't notice any oddities. Most of today I’ve been comparing 20 pgs
of names submitted to me. At one point it hung on marriages – after clicking
on the marriage icon I got a blank marriage screen and couldn’t get out a
conventional way, so I used task manager to stop the program, which it said was
Not Responding. When I opened it again I had the same man and woman listed as
second marriages for each – just same names listed twice, and another person as
wife of my ‘main’ subject; I was able to unlink him. The 2 marriages weren’t
in the index as 2 people. Deleted and reentered.
2. I’ve had ‘Legacy Not Responding’ – just a couple of times since I’ve had
it. Do I do something to cause that? Like start typing or enter before it has
digested the last move??
3. With all of that as a preface, I just found 2nd marriage info in my
comparison that I thought I had entered months ago and the ‘wife’ is only
connected to her parents now and they have no ancestors, I would not have
entered them 'loose' – is it possible to ‘look at’ or ‘Compare’ a backup, or
open it under another name? I suppose if I Restore it will overwrite my
current files and delete anything I did the past 2-3 days, which may not have
been a lot I spent a lot of time on findagrave and ancestry; but I don't know
what would be lost. I wasn’t sure I should backup after the electricity
stopped in case entries were damaged. If I could just look at an older one
maybe there were children, siblings, and more links connected with that
marriage?? (If so, where do I even find physical backups {not under File}? I
use the default with current date.)

RE: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.
Dennis, I agree that my statement may have been a little strong, however, I believe that this is a case where separate fields would have been better. There are times in genealogy research when jurisdictions are important and need to be broken down. For example, I have been asking for the ability to substitute location information into customized internet searches. In order to get a county, city or state name from the current design will be harder than if they each had their own field. bgj -Original Message- From: Dennis M.

Betty,
There is no harm in asking it to try and correct again, I usually repeat
until there are no error messages.
However, I have never had this message and it seems likely that the power
failure has damaged your database, in which case you may have to send it to
Legacy. Have you tried running your backup?
You may notice that I have changed you post to plain text because I would
like a second opinion from Dennis Kowallek, who will not have seen your post
because he does not accept posts in HTML (and rightly in my opinion!). He
may also be able to come up with an alternative scenario. So please adjust

I’ve
had it. Do I do something to cause that? Like start typing or enter before
it has digested the last move??
3. With all of that as a preface, I just found 2nd marriage info in my
comparison that I thought I had entered months ago and the ‘wife’ is only
connected to her parents now and they have no ancestors, I would not have
entered them 'loose' – is it possible to ‘look at’ or ‘Compare’ a
backup, or
open it under another name? I suppose if I Restore it will overwrite my
current files and delete anything I did the past 2-3 days, which may not
have been a lot I spent a lot of time on findagrave and ancestry; but I
don't know what would be lost. I wasn’t sure I should backup after the
electricity stopped in case entries were damaged. If I could just look at
an older one maybe there were children, siblings, and more links connected
with that marriage?? (If so, where do I even find physical backups {not
under File}? I use the default with current date.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Not Responding and Backups
I wonder what the plain text comments are all about?? What are you getting? This is Arial 14, is that it? I noticed that it came through in replies larger. Seems like other sites I send to return it smaller when replying. Tired tonight, will start again tomorrow. (Not my very last problem Dennis, just my most current.. :-) ) I kept running the Repair file, will see if I can determine what that did.

[LegacyUG] Replace Names, Dates and Places in the Invivigual Edit Screen
Hi Group, I've just recently installed Legacy 7.5. My question is there a way to Replace Names, Dates and Places in the Individual Edit Screen. Example: Birth Place, Death Place or Burial Place: Marietta, Ohio Search and Change to Marietta, Washington County, Ohio This would be in the Individual Edit Screen. I would like to have the Program search the entire Data Base and replace Marietta, Ohio with Marietta, Washington County, Ohio. In the Search and Replace feature there is no feature to do this. Thanks in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace Names, Dates and Places in the Invivigual Edit Screen
Sure. Go to the field containing what you want to change. You can either erase all of it, and enter it anew, or, stick the cursor between Mariette, Ohio and just enter Washington County, in between. Or, are you saying that won't work for you? Thank you. Robert Genealogy without documentation is mythology! Always SOURCE your work.

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace Names, Dates and Places in the Invivigual Edit Screen
Go to the Master Location List (View Master Lists) and make the edit in that list. That will change all instances of that location and you won't have a lot of bad locations in the list.

[LegacyUG] Tree Finder
Hi listers, Is this a bug? My tree's highest number today is 20760. I have set to reuse abandoned RINS. In another place I have 20694 individuals in my tree and have not deleted or merged anyone in at least two days while I have added at least 50 people. There are 19291 listed in Tree Finder. I am aware of one tree that has not been included which has about 151 people which still makes only 19442. Nothing adds up. I am trying to remove most of the unconnected lines. Any idea why these numbers don't add up? Or how I can locate other unconnected trees not now showing up?
