Re: [LegacyUG] How to add illegitimate child
Jean, I follow your procedure all the way down to the last sentence, at which stage we diverge. I leave the fathers’ names as blank, in other words whilst they have their mother’s married name, they have a different father. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ From: Jean Suplick Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 4:25 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to add illegitimate child A child always has a mother and a father. That's the way the world works. Full stop, as they say. The father may not be a husband of the mother, lawfully wed and all. Would you agree? In the Legacy database, every child is entitled to two parents, which reflects nature. So far so good. What then, does the Legacy database do to handle children with two parents that are *not married*? That's the question, right? Here's what I do. The mother (aka wife in Legacy terms) and a father (aka husband in Legacy terms) can have a child. If they are not married, the in the marriage screen, open the Status dropdown list and select unmarried. That's what I do. Set the status to unmarried. To your implied question, give the child the surname that he/she was known by. In my case, my grandmother gave her 7 illegitimage children the surname of her first husband who abandonded her before any of them were born. (She had 2 legitimate children by him before the abandonment.) These are my aunts and uncles, and I knew most of them. In the 1930's and 1940's they were given Grandma's surname, i.e. her husband's name, even though he was provably not their father. It does't matter.That was their name, so that's the name I put in Legacy. And in Legacy, their father is Grandma's husband, but with an unmarried status.

Re: Re: [LegacyUG] What name to use?
The person I am adding is in a county history chapter on a known ancestor that mentions that his father came to Westchester County, NY in the late 1600's. Apparently the book's author did not know the given name of the father, so he is not named, other than father, but the fact and time of his coming is important enough to include him in my data. Jane On , Jerry jerrysemailgro...@gmail.com wrote: Here's my thinking on it, Paula, trying to explain as briefly as possible. Quite often when you go to a genealogy website, the first thing you do is pull up the master person list to check for your possible ancestors. On many websites (if not most), you will see the very top of the list will begin with those that ONLY have first names like a bunch of Andrews, Sarahs, Williams, the word UNKNOWN that lots of people use, etc. The FIRST NAME ONLYs are generally at the very top of the index and they basically tell you nothing meaningful unless there are also columns for the spouse or parents. So, I wanted to provide a possible eye-catching list that always has a FIRST NAME and a SURNAME. Neither of them are ever blank because I use as much information as I have to describe the missing pieces of the puzzle. Whether it will eventually work to get people to respond with the right information, we are not sure yet, but at least it looks more organized and is easier to go through our list. I have at least enough information to know that a complete father or mother, sister or brother's name is missing or, of course, I would leave it completely blank. With that type of system, I can easily filter a list of all my unknown names because a ? always appears in the FIRSTNAME field. You can get a better idea of what I mean by going to our website (username = FullGuest and password = merriam), and sorting on contains ? for the FIRSTNAME field. It depends on what is missing as to where the ? appears, but if the Given Name is missing we use Given Name ? and if the entire name is missing we use Name ?, etc.  I know the purists on here think that is horrible, but I'm trying to use the computer database in the most organized way I can with the information I have. I hope that makes a little bit of sense anyway.

Re: Re: [LegacyUG] What name to use?
Jane, I know exactly what you're talking about - aren't those lovely old county histories exasperating in that respect? ;) Of course, that's all the information they had at the time, but it also makes me wonder about it's reliability... perhaps it's just hearsay ? so I treat it as a clue... I add the person as you do, give the citation surety = 2 and make a to-do item to search more. Our current item is his parents came from Scotland ...! In that case, it's so vague that I haven't added parents, just put it in the Individual's research notes. (For this one, though, we have two competing theories... I have added both those lineages, but neither is currently linked to the ancestor--extensive notes in the ancestor's Research Notes.) --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 Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams From: sarlesinsi...@gmail.com sarlesinsi...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thu, February 16, 2012 7:00:09 AM Subject: Re: Re: [LegacyUG] What name to use?

Re: [LegacyUG] Controlling Subsequent Citation Details [WAS: Legacy 7.5 and source citation import?]
Ward, We are in agreement that date/place type information should be in the source detail. When I imported my FTM GEDCOM, the source detail went to Legacy's text field. To correct this on a broad field would require programing effort and generally programers are not genealogist. I was a programing manager in a manufacturing information management environment and was successful since I understood the information data flow and the manufacturing process, i.e. bilingual :). It is unusual to find that combination in today's world and it is unfortunate that your program error went unprocessed. I thank your for your time and comments; the immediate footnote work-around appears to require a quick footnote review and change any necessary field information. Fortunately the Subsequent Citation occupancies are easy to spot.

All I can suggest is that you change what you are placing on this tab, as compared to the first tab (the Source Detail field on the Detail Information tab). I.e., for each source detail, append the custom information (e.g., person's name) to the end of the always-print information (e.g., county, twp, ED#) in the Source Detail field. Don't print anything from the Text/Comment tab, which is where you fully record the census family for future reference.

[LegacyUG] More on the Basic style
I have always been a big believer in ESM's method of citing your sources but after completely my BCG portfolio, I am starting to think it is overkill. I think I can cite the necessary info in a shorter, easier to read format and thus would start using the Basic Style to record my sources. My only concern is submitting any work for publication. Will genealogical publications consider your work if your reports are NOT in the ESM style? I wrote a genealogy column for the newspaper for 5 years and I have had several minor articles published in genealogical magazines but nothing in the big ones like the NGS quarterly. I use Legacy for all of my data and then I extract it as needed. Changing from Sourcewriter back to Basic would be a big step for me and I don't want to mess myself up when it comes to submitting material for publication. michele 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] Legacy 7.5 and source citation import?
Paula, That is a good approach and quite effective; in my local genealogy classes I emphasize that it is not so important how you document, but that you do and the important thing is for someone else to find the source and citation, using your notes. I may not previously mention, but I am the family historian for a 300 member family association and we are working on a hundred year of family register update. There is a lot of information exchange and the least effort that allows someone else finding the source citation is what is sought. Very little text is keep in the notes section as it is hard, for me at least, to remember, what I said about whom. Sometimes there are frustration, but in the end a lot of fun.Leonard On Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:35:20 -0800 (PST) Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net writes: Leonard, If I am reading you correctly, I don't go so far as to indicate in the census detail citation which piece(s) of information are supported. I mean, I attach the detail citation to the pieces / fields that are supported, but I am not trying to print that out. I have the little source citation number next to the field in the report (I'm mostly using FGR these days) and the detail census citation on the source page at the end. For example, for a new sibling of one of my direct line ancestors, I would typically cite the census on the name and birth date/place fields, plus I would add a census event (I write all the other info in a narrative fashion in the Notes: She was 12 years old, and attended school that year.). I typically have other/more citations on the name and birth date/place for those in my direct line, so the census may have just been the starting point for the year and state. Definitely, the new siblings would have a date range based on the age and the census date (except 1900 where the month year of birth are given) and a state. I may or may not pursue more information on the siblings. Wow, got a bit wordy! Oh, if I were running a book report (ancestor, descendent), the citations do include the head of household, so that keeps them separate... not all lumped into one US 1900 Illinois Cook Co. citation, for example.

Re: [LegacyUG] More on the Basic style
Michele I also believe in citing your sources, but like you, find some of ESM's method too wordy, so have shortened some of them (sometimes I have to shorten to get it to work in Legacy because of the limitation on the number of characters allowed). Each of the major genealogy magazines has developed its own footnote style guide, and they're all different, so if you submitted an article to them, you'd still have to change your footnotes. Mary *** michele said I have always been a big believer in ESMs method of citing your sources but after completely my BCG portfolio, I am starting to think it is overkill. I think I can cite the necessary info in a shorter, easier to read format and thus would start using the Basic Style to record my sources. My only concern is submitting any work for publication. Will genealogical publications consider your work if your reports are NOT in the ESM style? I wrote a genealogy column for the newspaper for 5 years and I have had several minor articles published in genealogical magazines but nothing in the big ones like the NGS quarterly. I use Legacy for all of my data and then I extract it as needed. Changing from Sourcewriter back to Basic would be a big step for me and I dont want to mess myself up when it comes to submitting material for publication. 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4f3d4536bde1413154bcst02vuc 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] Back Up Help - PLEASE
*1. To open my file I'm referring to the backup file. What is the the correct Restore family file command? I didn't know there was such a command.* If you look in Legacy's File menu, the second item is Open family file which is what you would normally do, if you do not have Legacy set to automatically open a particular file. The family file that you are working on at any time is saved with a .fdb ending to the filename. There are several other files that are connected with it - they have the same name, but different endings - but the .fdb is the main one. When you backup your family file using the Legacy backup command (also on the File name) Legacy puts the .fdb file *and all the others connected to it* into a super-file with the ending .zip. It's a bit like putting all your shopping into one bag. In order to use the items you've bought, you need to take them all out of the bag. In order to use the contents of the .zip file, Legacy needs to take all the contents out and then start using the .fdb file. In order to tell Legacy you want to open the .zip file and take the contents out, then open my .fdb file, please you need to look in the File menu for Restore family file which is the 8th item on the list. ** *2. *Jenny says - When I say backup I am referring to a zip file created by using the Backup family file command, which is what I presume you are doing, as opposed to just saving your family file with different name and/or in a different place. *Yes, it has a zip ending on it.* *Should I be saving to saving your family file with different name and/or in a different place?* No. What you are doing is fine! However, once you've created that backup (.zip) file, you don't really need to ever both about it again unless something goes wrong with your family file. You can carry on working on the same family file all the time - Legacy saves everything as it goes along, so if you closed Legacy without making a backup, you could just open the file again next day and carry on working on it. If you want, you can go to the Options menu, select Customize and look in the middle on the left. You can select to Open last used family automatically or select the name of your usual file from the drop-down list so that the same one always opens when you start Legacy. But DO carry on making your back-ups! That is absolutely the right thing to do. They are there in case of emergency. -- 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).

[LegacyUG] Make a duplicate of a person
Is it possible to, effectively, copy paste a person to create a second person with the same name and details? I have an ancestor where I have now discovered that I have made a mistake. His mother was Martha Earnshaw, but not the one I thought it was. Part of the data refers to the correct person and part of it refers to the incorrect one. Rather than create a new person and copy across the required data from the other one and then delete the incorrect data from the original person, it would be nice to be able to just duplicate everything and then selectively delete the bits that refer to the other person.

I've found one issue with upgrading as this version reconfigures the database. I have Legacy on 2 computers, but all my data is kept on one of them - the other machine accesses data over my local network. I upgraded on one machine successfully and my data file was updated to the new structure. I then attempted to upgrade on the other machine, but was told that my data file was from a newer version and so I couldn't get far enough into Legacy to do the upgrade. I had to find another data file to open in order to complete the task. It should still be possible to carry out the upgrade from within Legacy even when no file is open (in a similar way as you can from the Home tab). Maybe from an option on the internet or help menus.

Not true. But she should put them in their own directory and not the root. Usually the Legacy backups would go into the Legacy\Backup folder.

Re: [LegacyUG] Make a duplicate of a person
Quoting Jack Earnshaw j...@jearnshaw.me.uk: Is it possible to, effectively, copy paste a person to create a second person with the same name and details? If you edit the one you want to copy, then save it, all the data for that person in in memory. When you are doing twins, for example, you type in for the first one, then for the second one you just click the name of each field you want to copy. You get the same result by 'saving' any record you wish to copy part of. Occasionaly I want to put the same person in 2 databases, and the stored copy is in the Legacy program, not the specific data base, so I can copy persons across data bases. Very handy!!
