RE: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
Where does the should come from? I have gradually moved to using the latest version of place names because I am producing a family tree for family members and other people who are not expert genealogists. I want to make the tree as meaningful and easy to understand as possible. In particular: 1. seeing the current name for a location gives the average user a good idea of where the event took place, whereas using obsolete spelling, county name, or (especially) country name will be misleading or meaningless 2. using the Bing geo-coding tool in Legacy is unnecessarily arduous if you use old names 3. when geo-codes are translated back onto a map, for instance in Google on TNG, the user will only see modern names and may be puzzled if the event name is different. 4. for fellow geeks, the old name(s) can be put in the source text/detail and will still be documented. Incidentally the UK Registration Districts names change successively in some areas, like country names. I was reading recently about a place in Central Europe that was in three different countries on the same day, in 1939 I think. Having said all that an aka facility in Legacy for Location would be very useful and I will add a request.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
The problem is less if you use Ancestry or other transcriptions instead of findmypast. Registration Districts often cross county boundaries but are named after a town in one of the counties. Findmypast seem to insist on entering the name of the county which contains the town which is part of the registration district name for all the locations within that RD, regardless of the fact that the actual County for the location concerned is correctly written on the original registration form. Whenever I have asked for a correction to the proper County name they have refused and then added we aim to provide you with an exact copy of the original census page When I have pointed out that this is a blatant lie I have received no reply. Not strictly related to Legacy I am afraid, but it is infuriating when one is trying to search for people born in a particular county and they dont appear on a findmypast search (which is usually better than its competitors) not just as a result of human error but of deliberate policy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
John, Firstly, Registration Districts are not necessarily named after a town, for example West Ward. The presentation of the the Registration Districts is accurate and using them correctly identifies exactly where the record can be found by/at the GRO. Prior to the 1911 census the Location was given at the top of ever census page, but for 1911 you need to look at that given by the householder on the bottom right of the image.

The second page and those Table of Contents pages that follow are all automatically assigned a page number as though they were the last page of the whole report.In my case each page, 2 through 5, of the Table of Contents were assigned page number 312. The last page of my full report was 311.

If someone tries to duplicate this scenario please make sure your Table of Contents is two or more pages.I tried to see if this situation applied to any other type of report but my line doesn't go back far enough to have at least two pages of generations noted in the Table of Contents for the Ancestor or one name Descendant report.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
You can't even guarantee that the enumerator for the Census form had the administration county identified correctly. For UK 1891 Censuses you can find St.Pancras in either Middlesex or London, the latter being correct. Sometimes it is even left blank. I have found that the UK FreeBMD website gives good detail on the relationship between Parishes and Registration Districts.

Re: [LegacyUG] Page numbering problem on Multiple Line of Descent Report
Sorry Mike, I misunderstood your statement. I did look at the bug fixes on the web site for this version release and these are the only ones that might be related to printing reports: *Event Report* - When using List format, the event name is now always included. *Publishing Center* - Family Group Records were inserting two entries into the Table of Contents instead of only one. Fixed. As a side note I had reported a different bug with the Publishing Center and I got a personal email directly from Legacy saying it was fixed in the next release, which turned out to be 7.5.0.142.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
Ron, I have noticed before that you don't seem to read messages very carefully before replying. I did not say that all Registration Districts are named after a town and I did not say that the presentation of Registration Districts is inaccurate. I did say that the presentation of counties is deliberately inaccurate in the transcription and hence in the Household View, the Indexing and the Search facility as well. For instance, if you know that a person or family lived in Northamptonshire, you will never find them by searching in the Findmypast census transcriptions if they happen to live in the Northamptonshire part of Banbury RD because Findmypast knows that Banbury (the town) is in Oxfordshire and changes Northamptonshire on the census page image to Oxfordshire. Take the Mold family. If you do an exact search in the 1881 census for people living in Northamptonshire with surname Mold, Ancestry will give you 126 individuals but Findmypast will give you only 30. You might also have deduced that when I alleged that Findmypast ignore the fact that the actual County for the location concerned is correctly written on the original registration form this means that I do know where to find an address on a census page. In the Findmypast 1911 census images you can also click on an Address link to see the accompanying form which the enumerator has filled out; it is sometimes illuminating to compare the two versions of the address.

Thanks Jenny, I understand that is where the rules have come from. But I think the situation has changed with the arrival of the Internet and I would guess that most people using Legacy are now amateurs working on their own family trees who do not particularly want to be taken seriously by experts but to do a good job for their families and descendants. This may need a different set of standards as to how best to present information and Legacy support staff may need to alter their advice to Locations should always be entered in the form that will be most informative to the expected viewer of your family tree but you are free to use the names as they were at the time of the event for antiquarian or professional purposes.

The beauty of flexible programmes like Legacy enables multiple data entry preferences to suit a wide range of users. The trick is knowing the end use of the data from the beginning.

In my mothers family a lot of ancestors came from the same county (kommune), which in 1964 merged with another county. Before 1964 it was written Grindum, Grinnum, Grinnums, Grinnem, Grindem, Grindems, Grindheim, Bjelland og Grindum, Bj. pr.gj. - Grinnums and so on in many more variations. And these variations were not really chronoligally dependent, but were written in several variations the same year, depending on who was writing. Say you have in a census, a childs birth place is written as Grindum, and in the church book from the same year the place is called Grinnem, what should you write? If you save the source text you'll have the place name as written saved anyway, but in the birthplace field I think it is much better to use a standardized spelling. As John also mentioned, Internet has made a difference, not to mention computers. For searching, reports etc it is very useful to have a uniform spelling in the location field, and as long as the original spelling is stored (preferably in an AKA field) what's wrong with that?

Yes, Michele, but you don't have to mess up your master location list to do that. You can accomplish the same thing with the note fields adjacent to location. Sorry, but I don't think I could ever be convinced to put seven different location names for the exact same spot on the map when the note field will work for that. It is time for the gedcom standard to be updated to match computer technology. Both the aka location and latititde/longitude ideas seem worthy of consideration. Thanks for listening.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
John, The only person who never misunderstands or never makes a mistake is the one who usually says nothing, or has tunnel vision. When I do I will admit it, but not in this case. However, I think that we are talking at cross purposes. I believe that what you call the Location is what I would call the Registration District. The search in FMP is based on the latter. I usually find it best when looking for returns near a boundary not to enter a county ie. leave it set to any. Searching for Ferguson in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, will not be found in 1851 by searching for that location, because the Registration District is Stockton, County Durham. Before searching any county I always check the Registration Districts. I am not too happy with this way of searching, myself, although it does have advantages for those of us who carry out One-Name Studies, but my point is that on FMP's page for a family result it gives the Registration details, the Location has to be obtained from the Image - I usually do this with Ancestry as well btw. , because I do not wish to reply on somebody else's interpretation, which one is advised to do anyhow.

You say that the findmypast search is based on the Registration District but on the Basic search screen you can search by birth place, place of residence and COUNTY but NOT by registration district. It is only the Advanced search screen (which I rarely use, because I have not found it of much help) that you can also search by RD, civil parish, etc (etc depending on the census year). Incidentally the search of a database is based on one or more indexes. 2. The search list then takes you to the Household Transcription - which shows some of the reference numbers (but not Enumeration District or Schedule number unfortunately except for 1911), Registration District, Civil Parish, Address and COUNTY. Your reference to searching for Ferguson in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire in the 1851 census exactly proves my point - none found by Findmypast and 5 by Ancestry. Did you not try the Ancestry search before responding? By location I do not mean RD, I mean place, as defined (today) by geo-code.

When I do I will admit it, but not in this case. However, I think that we are talking at cross purposes. I believe that what you call the Location is what I would call the Registration District. The search in FMP is based on the latter. I usually find it best when looking for returns near a boundary not to enter a county ie. leave it set to any. Searching for Ferguson in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, will not be found in 1851 by searching for that location, because the Registration District is Stockton, County Durham. Before searching any county I always check the Registration Districts. I am not too happy with this way of searching, myself, although it does have advantages for those of us who carry out One-Name Studies, but my point is that on FMP's page for a family result it gives the Registration details, the Location has to be obtained from the Image - I usually do this with Ancestry as well btw. , because I do not wish to reply on somebody else's interpretation, which one is advised to do anyhow.

I did not say that all Registration Districts are named after a town and I did not say that the presentation of Registration Districts is inaccurate. I did say that the presentation of counties is deliberately inaccurate in the transcription and hence in the Household View, the Indexing and the Search facility as well. For instance, if you know that a person or family lived in Northamptonshire, you will never find them by searching in the Findmypast census transcriptions if they happen to live in the Northamptonshire part of Banbury RD because Findmypast knows that Banbury (the town) is in Oxfordshire and changes Northamptonshire on the census page image to Oxfordshire. Take the Mold family. If you do an exact search in the 1881 census for people living in Northamptonshire with surname Mold, Ancestry will give you 126 individuals but Findmypast will give you only 30. You might also have deduced that when I alleged that Findmypast ignore the fact that the actual County for the location concerned is correctly written on the original registration form this means that I do know where to find an address on a census page. In the Findmypast 1911 census images you can also click on an Address link to see the accompanying form which the enumerator has filled out; it is sometimes illuminating to compare the two versions of the address.

[LegacyUG] Pictures - how to handle ones with more than one person in the photo
I'm in the process of attaching my photos to the records in Legacy. How do others handle it when there are more than one person in fthe photo? Do you attach the photo to each person that is in it? How do you name the photo? I have been using the MRIN system for naming source files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures - how to handle ones with more than one person in the photo
I always use events in the family marriages assuming the picture is of a family and children or a family reunion and attach a picture to a single event. You can have several family reunion events and one picture for each event for the same family reunion. In reports, the attached event picture can be printed. I use lots of events for individuals and families. You can also print scrapbooks for individuals when you can have lots of pictures for each individual. Normally, only one picture can be printed for an individual. Hope that helps!

RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures - how to handle ones with more than one person in the photo
The competing application “Family Historian” has a great feature whereby you can link to people’s faces in a group photo. You select the group photo, draw a box around the person of interest and then select the person in your database to link it to. So when you view that person you see the cropped image but if you double clicked on it you would see the original image. This means you don’t have to create a bunch of cropped images if you had a family photo for example. I think it also had the ability to pop up a little name box when you hovered the mouse over each person in the group photo. I did submit a suggestion to have this function in Legacy a few years ago but they weren’t interested L Perhaps if more people make this suggestion it might get some traction. Gavin...

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures - how to handle ones with more than one person in the photo
Daphne, I am with Jenny on this one. Using photo editing software, I also crop the photo to show one person and use the name and RIN of the person as the filename. I find the following works for books in the Publishing Center: I crop the person from the group photo and resize it to 1.5 tall x 1.5 wide @ 300 pixels per inch. I then merge a youth photo on the left side and an adult (later in life) on the right side which makes it 1.5 tall x 3 wide. When I only have one photo I center it as 1.5 x 1.5 within the 3 width with white space on both sides. In the Publishing Center: Report Options Pictures Picture Options. I select Custom Picture area: Width [3] Inches, Picture Reduction Width is set to Original size. As Leon said you can only print a single photo in book reports. You could extend the above concept to include more than two photos of a person by merging several photos into one. What you must keep in mind is the Report options photo size option is GLOBAL. That is why I put a single photo into the center of 1.5 x 3. If you used a single photo as 1.5 x 1.5 it would print as 3 x 3 using Custom Picture area: Width [3] Inches in my example above.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures - how to handle ones with more than one person in the photo
Laird, I too use photo editing but thanks for the tip about merging pictures. I hadn't thought of that and it certainly solves some problems.I've recently been trying out Picasa in place of my other photo editing software and really like the idea they have of automatically creating a file of facial images from every image saved. It's a great help identifying unknown faces esp in groups. Not 100% accurate but certainly points me in the right direction. Amazing too how often with a baby/child face it suggestions an older adult I have already identified. If the baby/child doesn't already have their adult image identified it's interesting the suggestions Picasa makes. Shows how characteristics are passed down even if I can't always see it. I have to spend time entering names of faces I know but done once it quickly picks up recognising most of them in later images. Other software probably does the same now but my other editing software was older versions that didn't have it.
