Fishing Lesson #1
The online help file is always the first port of call for something like this.
Simply press F1 anywhere for the file to open. Then, click on the Index tab,
type the word 'special' into the text box and press the Enter key. From the box
that pops up, select 'Character Map'. You should now have all the information
you need :-)

Subject: Greetings from new user group member and a question




Hello Legacy Users Group. Would definitely appreciate feedback on a question I 
have. I downloaded a gedcom from my ancestry.com family tree and imported it 
into legacy. I have updated the legacy file and I am still adding information 
to my ancestry.com tree. My question is: Can I add the updated ancestry.com 
information to my present legacy tree without losing any of the information 
already added to the legacy tree (to do lists, repositories, etc)?

 

Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Burial Information

2011-12-29 Thread Brian/Support
If you enter the information as a Burial Address, typically the address
of the cemetery, you can add notes to that address then, by linking the
address to everyone who is buried at that address you will be linking
the address and the associated notes at the same time.

If you want to record a plot number or something similar for each burial
in the cemetery then you would have to manually enter that as a burial
note separate from the burial address.

  I don't really know why the fact that multiple persons have the same

  of instances of several people having the same data and I just enter the

Re: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

2011-12-29 Thread Sherry/Support
Legacy can only support Western European fonts. If this character is not in
the Windows Character Map for Western European characters, then Legacy
can't use it.

Doing a little digging around, I found that some of the Hawaiian
characters are Unicode fonts, which Legacy doesn't support at this time,
but we do plan on porting Legacy over to a programming language which
supports thse fonts.

I don't know how soon this will be.

My feedback is DON'T ever merge someone elses information with yours.

Anything you haven't researched is open for big trouble. If you keep
it in a separate file you won't go wrong, use the import to give you
hints and places to find the information your self.

You can put some information into notes but don't merge G

*Emphasis:

Yes. But the risk you have is you might have your family file just the way
you want it.  If you import a Gedcom, it can change the way you like to
enter things. Example.  If you import a Gedcom with a lot of prefixes such
as Mr. Dr. Rev. in the name, but you prefer prefixes to go in the prefix
field. You would then have to check everyone to get them to your style.

A better way, I think, is to import the Gedcom into a file by itself first.
Change everything to what you personally prefer. After you get it to your
liking, then import that into your main file. This is what I do- often
the file I am importing will have locations formatted differently, and I
like to change them to my favorite format before importing.

Welcome aboard. Don't hesitate to ask us anything you have questions about.

I've read the original query in a little more detail...

Unless the character you want is already in the basic, European character set
that lies behind the ribbon and that is used by Legacy, you're going to be out
of luck. As Sherry said, what you want is probably only available in a Unicode
font, and until Legacy is rewritten to use such a font you'll have to make do
with what ever is available in the basic Windows character set.

RE: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

2011-12-29 Thread Bernhard Scholz
Georgia,

this is not only your problem but one of Legacy.

There isn't a possibility to add any character to Legacy except to those you can
see in the

Options - Customise - Data Defaults - Quick Data Entry Ribbon

Like you and many others having ancestors in Europe and they can't use special
letters to write names correctly.
The problem is, that Legacy isn't using the so called UNICODE.

As I don't know how your letter looks like I can't say anything about if it's
possible to use that letter.

Even if Legacy would support UNICODE there is still the problem that the
character you need isn't supported.

Could you send an example of the letter you need as that would be a great help
to help you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Special Characters

Bernhard,

Thank you for your thoughts.  The letter is simply an a with an
overscore, also used in the Maori language.  However, the name can still
be spelled with just an a.  I actually have faith that Legacy will
eventually support Unicode.  In the meantime, I have much work and
research to keep me from fretting about it.

Georgia - with thanks to all who responded

[LegacyUG] Quarter Dates

2011-12-29 Thread Tony Rolfe
I use a registration event and put something like Sep 1841 in the date
field.  The full sentence reads:

[HisHer] birth was registered during the quarter ended [Date] at the
[~Place], with GRO reference [Desc] [Notes].[Sources]

I put something like vol 2b, page 234 in the Desc field and only use
the notes for clarifying any uncertainties.  I have special locations
xx Registration District only used for registrations so I can
separate people registered in Sheffield Registration District from
people born in Sheffield, for example.

In the birth field I just insert a date equal to the registration year,
unless the registration was in the first quarter, when I use Abt .

I have asked Legacy for a change to the Sentence definitions so we could
use:

[DateQuarter] which would take a date in the form Dec 1854 and expand
to the December Quarter 1854

[~DateQuarter] which would expand the date to the Dec Quarter 1854

[DateQ] which would expand the date to 4Q 1854

However, I'm not holding my breath.

[LegacyUG] Missing Spouse in Descendant Chart

2011-12-29 Thread Olwyn Bourne




Version: 7.5.0.112

Agnes has 3 spouses, 1. Unknown, 2. Mr Carter and 3. Mr
Anderson.She had
1 child with #1, 4 children with #2 and 0 children with #3.   When I run a 
descendants Chart for Agnes
or her ancestors, Unknown and Mr Anderson are listed but there is no Mr Carter 
(or children).  Mr Carter is not
private and is set to preferred.  Running
the same report from Mr Carter or his parent's perspective has Agnes and
children included.

The Chronology for Agnes lists Mr Carter and their
children.

I had a look through the help files and archives without
hitting anything to fit.  What do you
think I might have set or unset to cause spouse #2 not to appear?  If I need to 
I will delete and recreate him.
Hopefully there is a quicker solution. Season greetings and thank you in 
advance Olwyn
