RE: [LegacyUG] Showing historical locations.
Tony, As person born in Queensland, Australia, I would say to just use Clermont, Queensland, Australia. Much simpler than having two names for the same place. Yes, Queensland was a colony before Federation in 1901, but only became one after separation from New South Wales in 1859.

I actually use British North America, which includes all of the other parts (Belize, Upper and Lower Canada). It is not 'accurate' but everyone I show gets the idea. Also French North America, Dutch and Swedish North America.

Re: [LegacyUG] Considering Switching from FTM to Legacy 7.5 Deluxe-Old file a mess
Vicki, you will LOVE Legacy. I have a team of people helping with our family history and several have switched to Legacy. They are loving it too the more they work with it. I HIGHLY suggest getting the training CDs. You won't believe how much easier things are and how many fewer questions you will have if you look through them everyone once in a while. I got FTM last year only because so many people in the family are still using it. I switched from FTM years ago and have never regretted it. I find it so much easier to use a less cluttered screen and so much more is able to be done with Legacy. If I really want to see an ancestral chart, I can go to that, but it doesn't have to be front and center on my screen. Often I want a descendant chart or something else, but usually I just want the couple, their parents and children. You will find that all of your concerns will be put to rest once you make the switch. That might sound very general, but Legacy is a phenomenal program with people constantly trying to make it better based upon your suggestions, not their preferences. Good luck!

Thank you Jenny for your response which certainly helps. My greatest concern was focusing on the "Source" from which I received the information. One "Source" being an individual who privately held a Certificate (Which may or may not have been supplied by the local office of origination) even though she definitely was a participant in the event (marriage); and the second "Source" being the County Clerk of Origination where a record of the event is maintained. Based upon your recommendation, it would appear that the Individual in possession of the "Certificate" would be regarded as a "Repository," and the County Clerk from whom I received a photocopy would be regarded as another "Repository."

I think the situation is a little different here in the UK because the only way you get information from "the Authority" (which would be General Register Office or the local Register Office where event took place) would be in the form of a Certificate. If I am in possession of an original Certificate (and by "original" I mean one issued by the GRO or a local RO, rather than a photocopy) then I use the SW template for Certificates, regardless of whether it was me that obtained the Cert from the authority or someone else who gave it to me. If someone else holds the Cert but gives me a photocopy then I still use the same template but record in the Comments that it is a photocopy of an original held by X. In your situation I would do much the same: use the Marriage Records - Found in Governmental Records template, attach a copy of the photocopy you have and record in the Comments that the information actually came from 2 sources. -- Jenny M Benson 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).

Susan, I suggest that you note a name or phrase from one of the sources, then use Search>Find>Detailed Search and look in the Sources, and/or Source Citation using the "Contains" option. If it is not found, then it probably has not been downloaded from the GEDCOM, so I would look at your Import settings to check that you told Legacy what to do with them.

So could any one give me some idea where Legacy may have entered these Roots3 Sources? As they do not seem to appear in General Notes. I have a copy of GENviewer, so I opened up a copy of the file. But I am none the wiser!!! Have no idea how to work the program. BUT I did see an 'S' beside one of the names and the help file said the Source is 'displayed in the bottom right of the tab' Bottom right little window which has Sources at the top and then a 1) under BUT no mention of any typing. There is not one source in the file. BUT when I open the GEDCOM in Notepad - there are 1631 entries - All looking like this: 0 @S1631@ SOUR Birth cert no. etc. (the numbers are in numerical order) I then unpacked the GEDCOM into Legacy and checked the Sources icon and there are only 3 entries with just the name Source - no explanations of what they are or where they are or who they belong to.

I think the situation is a little different here in the UK because the only way you get information from "the Authority" (which would be General Register Office or the local Register Office where event took place) would be in the form of a Certificate. If I am in possession of an original Certificate (and by "original" I mean one issued by the GRO or a local RO, rather than a photocopy) then I use the SW template for Certificates, regardless of whether it was me that obtained the Cert from the authority or someone else who gave it to me. If someone else holds the Cert but gives me a photocopy then I still use the same template but record in the Comments that it is a photocopy of an original held by X. In your situation I would do much the same: use the Marriage Records - Found in Governmental Records template, attach a copy of the photocopy you have and record in the Comments that the information actually came from 2 sources. -- Jenny M Benson 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).

RE: [LegacyUG] Considering Switching from FTM to Legacy 7.5 Deluxe-Old file a mess
Vicki, For FTM16, there are no other options other than selecting file type Gedcom (*GED) in the save as dialogue box that comes up when you do the export. FTM 2012 (and maybe 2008 onwards) has more options when creating a GEDCOM. Hopefully you will get a pretty clean import into Legacy. I had only a few minor problems, but at that time I just had basic people data with birth, marriage, and death info. I did not have any (well maybe a few) sources, and no notes or media.

I went to it from version 11. Vicki LeMere Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Considering Switching from FTM to Legacy 7.5 Deluxe-Old file a mess Hi Vicki, Can you advise which version of FTM you are using? Is it FTM16 (aka 2006), FTM2008 or later (please state which), or some earlier version? Paul Gray -Original Message- From: Vicki LeMere [mailto:glem...@eastex.net] Sent: October-27-11 1:41 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Considering Switching from FTM to Legacy 7.5 Deluxe-Old file a mess Paul- Thank you for your answer. Someone else has also advised me to try the GEDCOM export. You made mention to be careful with the export options. Can you be more specific? My other respondor pointed out that the media would not transfer. Vicki LeMere Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Considering Switching from FTM to Legacy 7.5 Deluxe-Old file a mess Vicki, I think you will like Legacy. I too converted from FTM to Legacy as my main database, although I do use FTM as a secondary program. Before you decide to do things manually, I would create a GEDCOM from FTM (need to be careful with the export options) and import it into Legacy. Then review the file and see what it looks like. If it's workable, take it from there. Only if it's a real mess would I consider starting over. You risk nothing bt trying the GEDCOM first, you can always abandon the file if it doesn't work out. With respect to the single file, I would encourage you to keep it that way. Although others on this list feel differently, I feel that 'splitting out' various trees is something that can be done in reports (and occasionally custom exports) rather than in the family file itself. Legacy has a 'tree finder' (View menu) which lists the various 'islands' of related people.
