[LegacyUG] sorting and naming pictures
I was looking at the list of pictures in my C:\Legacy\Pictures folder and am thinking about adding sub folders. I know about linking the pictures but am wondering if adding extra folders is getting a little too pedantic am I better off with a long alphabetical list? I have all these pictures backed up on a zip in family folders and wonder whether to duplicate this on Legacy. There are times when I have to think hard about the odd stray photo to remember which family folder to file it in - something that wouldn't happen with a long alphabetical list. BTW I know I could link from my backup zip but would prefer to use the Legacy folder. Also naming the pictures, has anyone experienced problems with commas, spaces or in the names? I'm thinking of future exports or webpages. There was a time when we were encouraged to use underscores instead of spaces, is this still necessary? My collection of pics is not too big at the moment and it would be a good chance to develop a new plan before the collection grows out of control. Interested in hearing ideas and suggestions on how others have handled this.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record sources that don't have relevant information
Brian, Just out of interest, why do you suggest a General ToDo?

I cannot see a problem with your suggestion - just wondered why that choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] sorting and naming pictures
Erica, Re: sub-folders, this is really personal choice, the limit is governed by Windows not Legacy and is very, off hand I'm not sure what it is as I usually create another folder when I find searching a folder, or selecting a unique name a bit of a pain. The recommendation re file names still stands, that is for safety use only alpha numeric characters, hyphens and underscores. Again this a not a Legacy constraint but one determined by browsers and/or the ISP (and others). My suggestion is slightly over-kill but will guarantee safety in all circumstances. A space, for example will be converted to %20 by a browser which is displayed in this way and not as a space (it is actually the code for a space) hence, the two being different the file may not be found.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record sources that don't have relevant information
In the context of the original post there is no one special to create a To Do for. He wanted to know how to record sources where nothing was found about anyone in his file. I agree that if you were searching a source for a particular person and found nothing a To Do for that person would be the appropriate method. In this case however there is no one in particular in the file to which a To Do could be attached.

Re: [LegacyUG] sorting and naming pictures
It is largely a matter for personal preference whether you divide your pictures into sub folders or not. I do keep files in a set of sub folders, mainly because I inherited the system from a cousin. She had her photo files organized under her 15 siblings names. I kept that structure and added new folders for my paternal and maternal family groups.

Re: [LegacyUG] Living Only Report
Brian, Advanced set living works from the youngest to the oldest and identifies those who are dead from that data. However, this does mean that some can be missed where there are missing dates from the younger generations. LTools has a routine which works from the oldest down thus catching at least some of these as well.

Re: [LegacyUG] How do you all use the resource notes
Marli, Wow! In the past, I have printed this sort of thing, as well as put it into a .txt file (to be pasted later). Then I figure out what all information for whom is included, then set up a source (using clipboard), paste all this into the source Text, then enter data for individuals and apply source citations. That usually means I don't enter all of this directly into Legacy as soon as I find it. I think if I were to copy paste it immediately directly in, I would set up a To Do item for the person whose will it is (that's the first bit of info), and indicate I need to look at the whole thing and update all individuals involved. I mean, if I have time right then to set up To Do items for each person named, then I have time to set up the source and enter the data. I just like the hardcopy so I can write notes; it's a learning mechanism thing for me. However, my method means the information doesn't show up on reports until I get it all into the appropriate events (but also, I don't have the sources listed right there with the facts... they are at the end). That said, previous discussions here have mentioned how people have events called Will (for the deceased, usually includes transcript and/or image of will) or Bequeathed (for the others mentioned). Or even using this as a source on the Father-Child relationship. I think that most people here would not leave this sort of information in Research Notes. These notes represent results of your research... facts about the individuals. I would enter them as events and cite the sources... as soon as you have time to do so. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump **Hale (wonder if mine are also from Canada?)

Re: [LegacyUG] Living Only Report
Ray, I had this problem when I first transferred my data file to Legacy and began using it. I found a way without issuing a separate report. What I did was the following: 1. click on the Index tab. 2. Click on the Customs button located near the upper, right-hand area of the page. 3. Select Customize Columns and a window opens labeled Index View Columns. 4. Under the column entitled Field Name pick an empty line and click on the button to the right having the three dotes (a.k.a. elipse) in it. From the Field Names to Display list which will appear, select Living. 5. This will add a column to each person in your index and will either show Yes or No as to whether or not the person is shown in your database as living. 6. Then I sorted the index by RIN number as it was easier for me to keep track of each entry as I reviewed them when the list was arranged numberically and I could write down the number when I broke away from the task so that I'd know where to pick up when I returned to the task. 7. If the person should have been dead (a.k.a. No) but was still showing as living (a.k.a. Yes), I would change it and move on to the the next person in the list.

RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Report - Spacing of Event/Fact Notes
Sherry, I know that the notes are correct. They printed correctly in previous versions. I am not sure but I think that the added lines have just appeared in 7.5.0.112. For example, here is one of the notes on an event as copied directly from the screen: 1) MOMMER George, head, age 48, white male, married, owns home without mortgage, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English, works as contractor/carpenter in the housing industry 2) MOMMER Anna, wife, age 46, white female, married, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in Ireland, can speak English, no occupation 3) MOMMER Edna, daughter, age 16, white female, single, attended school in last year, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English 4) MOMMER Irene, daughter, age 10, white female, single, attended school in last year, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English On the Individual Report, these notes appear like this: 1) MOMMER George, head, age 48, white male, married, owns home without mortgage, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English, works as contractor/carpenter in the housing industry 2) MOMMER Anna, wife, age 46, white female, married, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in Ireland, can speak English, no occupation 3) MOMMER Edna, daughter, age 16, white female, single, attended school in last year, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English 4) MOMMER Irene, daughter, age 10, white female, single, attended school in last year, can read and write, born in New York, both parents born in New York, can speak English 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).

[LegacyUG] Question About Sourcing and Repositories
I have a few questions about sourcing that I'm sure many of you can help me with. 1. When you cite a newspaper article as a source, do you attempt to always document where that article can be found, either online or in a person's possession? And do you always provide the specific http URL address, if it is available online? 2. If so, what happens if that online website which is housing that newspaper article shuts down? (or the person who has the article dies?) 3. Along with this, if the newspaper article is in the possession of a certain person, is that person, in effect, the REPOSITORY for the item and should a REPOSITORY of all items in that person's or organization's possession be set up for ready reference? I hope this is clear enough.Thanks! -- Jerry - MerriamFamilyTree.org 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] Question About Sourcing and Repositories
Hi Jerry, I think the best you can do is to document where you found it. If it changes and you know then you could change your information too. If you don't know then I don't think there is much you can do. Even 'official' repositories change location and name from time to time. ..Paul --- On Wed, 9/11/11, Jerry jerrysemailgro...@gmail.com wrote: From: Jerry jerrysemailgro...@gmail.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Question About Sourcing and Repositories To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Received: Wednesday, 9 November, 2011, 12:21 PM I have a few questions about sourcing that I'm sure many of you can help me with. 1.

SourceWriter has Email listed under Type of Source. You would use that template.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual Report - Spacing of Event/Fact Notes
Can't tell a thing without seeing the file If this is a concern to you, please contact Support so we can work with you and your file and the usr file to resolve this. I'm not seeing anything like this when I create the Individual report, but then we probably have completely different settings. If it doesn't resolve after resetting the report options (click on the Reset button in the lower right corner of the main report options window), send us an email to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 4:48 PM, M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question About Sourcing and Repositories
Jerry: Your issues can be simplified considerably by remembering that it’s generally not customary to cite repositories for published items that are widely available, and records online are also considered “published.” With hard to find items, however, I do include the repository in the citation. I also sometimes note the repository for my own purposes, not as a part of the formal source citation but as a privatized note.
