Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do Locality List
Julia, I keep the Locality field to just geographic locations as this can then be used in a sorting of the information when a To Do report is issued. Also, the Location field can differ from the location of a repository which is shown in the repository tab. There are several Legacy newsletters which can be viewed on the Legacy web site that help you to understand the To Do Lists. Use their search engine and enter the words: to do list An example of one such article which can be viewed is found at the following link: http://legacynews.typepad.com/legacy_news/2010/01/effective-use-of-legacys-to-do-list.html Cathy-0 - Original Message - From: julia _ To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2011 10:56 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] To-Do Locality List I guess I am in spring cleaning mode, hence all of my questions to you! I would like to know how people use the To-Do Locality list? Do you keep it to geography or do you insert facilities as well (eg Family History Library or National Archives building)? Do you use any of this in conjunction with the Repository tab? I plan on going on some field trips soon and want to take printouts of my To-Do lists, so I'm just trying to find the most efficient way to use this feature.

If anyone has a better idea for any part of Legacy, they can always send in a suggestion Legacy has a lot of flexibility in the way features can be used, but things may not always *work* quite right if you do something different from the programmer's intentions. For example, unless you follow the 4-element design of the locations, the Master Location List won't sort correctly if you sort by other than the default (city, county, state, country) nor will the locations show correctly in the Chronolgy view if you select to show country first.

Having been using computers since the late 70's and having dealt with many different programs on and off the job, I have found that the programmers thinking is not on the same wave link as the user or vise versa. The major programs which I was first exposed to computer were/are CAD/CAM programs. At that time most programmers did not even know what a engineering drawing was let alone how to prepare one. It took many years for them to understand what the drawing standards were/are, but they did learn. Later on, the users were trying to outguess the programmers and the new engineering staff was no longer being taught the drawing standards as the computer would do them for them.

I notice that many of you aren't cleaning up your messages when you reply. Although it's not as severe of a problem as it would be if we had a digest version, it really does add a lot of extra weight to a message when you don't clean up. Please, remove any messages that aren't pertinent to your reply and remove all those information lines that the email program adds at the end. Remember, we have users who have limited service and either are allowed only so many bytes per month or pay by the byte and every little extra only costs them! Also, please don't hijack an ongoing thread. If you want to change the subject, start a new message thread someone who's not interested in the old thread but could help you with your new question will skip right by it because of the subject line.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on different systems
Legacy files can be shared between any two computers no matter which version of Windows are installed. Before anyone jumps on me though I better say the Windows system has to be Windows 95 or later. I personally would not use Dropbox for the file sharing but many users here have used it with their main file. I would prefer to backup the file and multimedia to Dropbox and restore a copy of the file(s) from the Dropbox copy. When finished on one computer I would backup to Dropbox again.

Without getting into the source vs. repository argument, I think it is entirely proper to use these facts (actually assertions) if one chooses to. You can give them the lowest surety if you want. You can explain in a comment why they are not to be believed. And you can choose not to publish them. It all depends on one's approach. If you are lazy (like me) you might not wish to spend time documenting most low surety assertions. If I were not so lazy I would document all assertions, no matter how dubious, and explain why some were better than others. Belief that an assertion is true is not necessarily a prerequisite to documenting the assertion. For example, my wife is a LEE. Like nearly everyone in the U.S. whose last name is LEE, there are stories passed down saying that they were related to Robert E. LEE. Not really believing this, I documented it anyway.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy on different systems
One other thing to consider when using Legacy on two computers is the location of multimedia files. The links in your Legacy file must be the same on both computers. Generally, this means you should not use 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' etc. as they are part of your user profile, and that path is often different between computers. Using the default Legacy folders C:\Legacy\Data.. works fine, as will anything up in the 'root folder', often C:\something. I actually use Dropbox, but have installed it as C:\Dropbox, rather than the normal default C:\My Documents\Dropbox precisely because of the multimedia linking issue. Paul Gray Legacy files can be shared between any two computers no matter which version of Windows are installed. Before anyone jumps on me though I better say the Windows system has to be Windows 95 or later. I personally would not use Dropbox for the file sharing but many users here have used it with their main file. I would prefer to backup the file and multimedia to Dropbox and restore a copy of the file(s) from the Dropbox copy. When finished on one computer I would backup to Dropbox again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on different systems
Paul, Thank you for that extra tip. Using the default Legacy folders C:\Legacy\Data.. works fine, as will anything up in the 'root folder', often C:\something.

[LegacyUG] Making note of (inaccurate) information on census
Hello, all! My question might chime in with a previous thread on census as event vs. census as source. Thanks to a recently-received copy of the original of my great-grandparents' marriage return, I now know for sure that a certain couple were my great-grandmother's parents and their elder children were her siblings. Prior to obtaining the marriage document, I'd found what I thought might be the right family in the 1880 US Census, but the youngest child was listed as Jesse and put down as a boy, whereas my great-grandmother's name was Besse and she was definitely a girl! The age is right for her, and now that I know that this was indeed her family (due to some unusual names and confirmation from my mother, who remembers her great-aunts and great-uncle), I'm thinking that there was some miscommunication at the 1880 census visit regarding her age and gender. I've used this census as an information source on Besse's parents and siblings, but where in Legacy would I apply it to her? In her case, should I switch and call it a census event, explaining the errors in the notes? Or should I note the wrong name in the AKA field? My object is that, should someone refer to my work later, I've made it known that I am aware of this census entry, explain that the child in question was indeed herself, and set straight the error. Thanks!
