RE: [LegacyUG] Mendeley; Zotero? Using with Legacy?
I have been using Genota 4 and Genforms 2 as two research tools for a while now. Both programs will link to your Legacy data files which is very handy. Genforms 2 allows you to enter data from your Birth, Death Marriage records as well as many other types of official sources in a structured database that can be searched. Very handy to see how often the same person (e.g. witnesses) are noted on statutory documents. Genota 4 allows you to enter your research notes for a specific person or even a subject. You can also link repository details where sources are held, link to scanned documents that are held on your computer and also establish links other members of your Legacy family tree. Recommend you take a look – trial versions are available.

While thinking of how to store documents that might not have a place in Legacy, but will have a place when I, hopefully, put together a family history (such as the history/customs of the place where they lived) I remembered reading about these two programs that work with word processors. Zotero is a plugin that works with firefox and Word or Open Office. It's a way to cut and paste and save research in one place, from what I understand. Does anyone use a tool like this for genealogy, or is it overkill? All these extra files could be kept in the same directory/subdirectories where I keep the media I have loaded, or will load into legacy. I hope this isn't too off topic. For me, Legacy is a tool not just to store information in, but hopefully one that will help me when I want to put all the information into an interesting story/history.

RE: [LegacyUG] Where to enter history of the area?
This is relevant to your question on research notes placement also. There are a couple of places where you can link to external files from within Legacy. One is the picture galleries of which there are countless numbers, one for every individual, every event, every source and every location and probably more besides. For location notes you could use the gallery for the specific location, the gallery is not just for pictures but for any files, you simply add the link as a file and not a picture. If you find a website with local history you can capture the information on the page with the web browser option to save it as a web page archive format. Firefox for example can create MAFF type files with an image of the webpage as you saw it. These files can be simply added to the gallery and will use the Operating system default for invoking the filetype, so .pdf files may use Adobe Acrobat to display or you could store the url of the website as a bookmark and use that .url file in your gallery to go straight to the website with the information you wanted. Your default web browser would invoke any .url files. You could think about using the ToDo list function in Legacy for other research notes. The ToDo list is not just about items which you have to do but can just be information items. You can use existing categories or create your own , like Research Notes , and then use the filter option to display just those in that category. Each ToDo item has a source associated and any source you create will have a gallery to go with it which you can use for files containing research notes. Alternatively the Todo item will also allow you to create a repository. Repositories do not have to be real places, they can be imaginary or virtual places. You could create a ToDo item for Hometown Research and for that item a repository called Hometown Research. The repository would have a gallery associated with it where you could link your files regarding Hometown research. Alternatively it might be a John Smith research ToDo item and repository dealing with an individual. The other way to get to external files from within Legacy is via the URL addresses. You will find that repositories have a line for recording their homepage and you can make use of this. If you wish to invoke a file via a URL you enter file:///C:/Users/Marg/Legacy/Pictures/research.pdf for example. An advantage is that it can take as little as two clicks from an individual to get to the research notes, one on the ToDo icon and if the Research notes is the only ToDo and you have the Repository Tab as the one first shown you will see that the homepage can be clicked as the second click and you're there. Homepage addresses are also accessible from the individual's address icon ( the little house with a wireless handset ), which seemed incongruous for those living in the 18th century. I find that it can be useful if you have a saved copy of a Web version of your Legacy tree as you can invoke it from the individuals page using something like file:///C:/Users/Marg/Legacy/Web/Mytree/241.htm , the numeric being the appropriate RIN of the individual. So there are a number of ways of tying your Legacy database to external files and this might also apply to files created by more specialised research tools.

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?
Why can’t you just add notes to the event itself? If you want to add something that you think will make the information clearer you can always put it in brackets [ ] to show that what is in the brackets is information that you have added and not part of the event itself. Here are a couple of simple examples, This is an entry I have for the 1820 census in Perry Co, MS for Silas Simmons Silas Simmons 1 free white male under age 10 [William] 1 free white male age 16 to under 26 [Silas] 1 free white female under age 10 [Elizabeth] 1 free age 16 to under 26 [Janet] I added WHO each person was because I knew but it wasn't on the census record itself. Here is one for a Cemetery entry Marker reads: Simmons [2 infant slabs, no other information, buried in same plot as Arthur A. Simmons and Mattie S. Dickson] I am implying that the two infants belong to Arthur and Mattie and it explains why I think that even though there is nothing on the marker to say so.

As the information grows more sparse it isn't a problem, but with more immediate family, there are a lot of things to enter. If I put them all in the notes field they aren't connected with the event. I know this is probably a no brainer for those who are more familiar with the program, but is entering my stories and comments about the event into the source citation, the best way to do this?

RE: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging
Michele, This is just one answer of many I think you will get. I take the ends of my pedegree tree and generate a focus group for each paternal end (could be maternal) I add that person and only their direct descendants. I end up with a list of Paternal ancestrors and their direct descendants. I save this as my direct descendant line focus group. I then create a list, which I then tag as Tag 1. I use Tag1 exclusively for my direct descendants. If I go back on any of my direct lines another generation, I modify my direct descendant group by first loading it then deleting the person from the previous generation and add the latest anestor in that line. Resaving the group. Every now and then I load that group and create a new list to add Tag1 to any new descandants. I will be interested if someone can show me a simpler way of achieving this. One use of this group is to export via gedcom to worldconnect less those still living. Another is to focus my priorities for any future research.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging
A tag is an actual field in the individual or marriage record which can be used in a search to locate those records with the tag on or off. A focus group is a collection of criteria that can be used as the logic to filter a sub-set of the database dynamically and is not the actual records. The results of a search for records in the focus group could be tagged but as more records are added to the database, the new ones will not be automatically tagged when they satisfy the criteria in the focus group. A fresh search for the focus group would identify every record in that filter. One function of the focus group is to export a portion of the database. Records filtered by the focus group can easily be pushed out to a separate file which can then be sent to another researcher with only those records that are of interest for him/her. I find it very useful in Legacy to execute a detailed search for the focus group, tag the search results, and then in the Legacy Export...check the radio button All records with an individual tag of:, set the tag number, and then check the three boxes under that selection. Those boxes are labelled: Export all Spouses of Tagged Individuals, Export all Children of Tagged Individuals, and Export all Parents of Tagged Individuals. By checking those three optional boxes, not only are all the records in the focus group exported but also the individuals connected to them which essentially exports complete group sheets that include the tagged set. In summary...a tag is temporary data and a focus group is a collection criteria used to filter records. Focus groups can be saved and re-loaded for various purposes. You could have a focus group for collaboration with Aunt Margaret and another for data sharing with Grandma Johnson. I'm sure others have even more imaginative uses for these tools.

Elizabeth, It is makes no difference if you have the fancier version (Google Apps) or the standard gmail account. You do not actually have two copies of your email. Don't forget, Google mail does not support true folders. When you say you have a copy in your sent mail - sent mail is strictly a label, not a folder. If you look at your Google folders, you will see that no matter what label an email has -i.e. Inbox Legacy (a label that I created), Sent Mail, etc, you will see a copy in that designated folder, but you will also see a copy in the All Mail folder.

This is relevant to your question on research notes placement also. There are a couple of places where you can link to external files from within Legacy. One is the picture galleries of which there are countless numbers, one for every individual, every event, every source and every location and probably more besides. For location notes you could use the gallery for the specific location, the gallery is not just for pictures but for any files, you simply add the link as a file and not a picture. If you find a website with local history you can capture the information on the page with the web browser option to save it as a web page archive format. Firefox for example can create MAFF type files with an image of the webpage as you saw it. These files can be simply added to the gallery and will use the Operating system default for invoking the filetype, so .pdf files may use Adobe Acrobat to display or you could store the url of the website as a bookmark and use that .url file in your gallery to go straight to the website with the information you wanted. Your default web browser would invoke any .url files. You could think about using the ToDo list function in Legacy for other research notes. The ToDo list is not just about items which you have to do but can just be information items. You can use existing categories or create your own , like Research Notes , and then use the filter option to display just those in that category. Each ToDo item has a source associated and any source you create will have a gallery to go with it which you can use for files containing research notes. Alternatively the Todo item will also allow you to create a repository. Repositories do not have to be real places, they can be imaginary or virtual places. You could create a ToDo item for Hometown Research and for that item a repository called Hometown Research. The repository would have a gallery associated with it where you could link your files regarding Hometown research. Alternatively it might be a John Smith research ToDo item and repository dealing with an individual. The other way to get to external files from within Legacy is via the URL addresses. You will find that repositories have a line for recording their homepage and you can make use of this. If you wish to invoke a file via a URL you enter file:///C:/Users/Marg/Legacy/Pictures/research.pdf for example. An advantage is that it can take as little as two clicks from an individual to get to the research notes, one on the ToDo icon and if the Research notes is the only ToDo and you have the Repository Tab as the one first shown you will see that the homepage can be clicked as the second click and you're there. Homepage addresses are also accessible from the individual's address icon ( the little house with a wireless handset ), which seemed incongruous for those living in the 18th century. I find that it can be useful if you have a saved copy of a Web version of your Legacy tree as you can invoke it from the individuals page using something like file:///C:/Users/Marg/Legacy/Web/Mytree/241.htm , the numeric being the appropriate RIN of the individual. So there are a number of ways of tying your Legacy database to external files and this might also apply to files created by more specialised research tools.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging
I was looking forward to clarification on how why to use focus groups instead of tagging, but so far I am unconvinced, as both answers posted thus far seem to include the step of tagging somewhere in their process anyway. Or have I misread the two replies? It seems focus groups and tagging (or really the search process to determine who to tag) operate the same way, but tags have the advantage of allowing you to move through the resulting list of tagged people easily... using the next tagged arrow at the bottom of the family view. Just because individuals are in a focus group, doesn't give you quick access to those individuals for the purposes of, say, fixing an error. On the other hand, I have recently learned I can fix a whole lot of things straight from the Search Results, which would require neither tags nor a focus group. In pondering further as I typed, I suppose the advantage to defining a focus group comes when you are routinely exporting or reporting, because the list of individuals to include is dynamically built -- saving you the steps of re-running the search and tagging the results to be sure to include newly-added individuals, then exporting / reporting on tagged individuals. It depends on your purpose for identifying a set of individuals... right? --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: Ron Taylor doit4...@yahoo.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sat, February 25, 2012 9:15:13 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging A tag is an actual field in the individual or marriage record which can be used in a search to locate those records with the tag on or off.

RE: [LegacyUG] Short survey: Location vs. Address
Here are my answers... 1. If you use addresses at all, do you include them in the Location list or keep them separate in the Address list? If this a CURRENT address of a relative then I keep it in the address list. If this is someone in the past that is dead and gone I put it as a residence event. I NEVER put an address in the location list. All of my locations are standardized. 2. What is the main benefit you see in the way you store your addresses? (please keep it short) I use Legacy as an address book to store all of my relatives current addresses in the address list. I do use residence events for my ancestors and I will put exact addresses in their if I have them so that I can create accurate timelines and mappings. 3. What is the main disadvantage you see in the way you store your addresses? (ditto) Well, since this is the best way for me to do it I don't see any particular disadvantages :) 4. What is the report/output in Legacy you use the most? (e.g., could be webpage generation) I rarely print reports. When I write up a report/story for a magazine/newspaper or for a client, I hand type it to make sure everything is formatted properly. Legacy (as good as it is) can't be relied upon for accurate formatting when you have having to maintain a particular standard. I might print out a FGS for someone or a pedigree chart but not a report per se. 5. Are most of your Locations/Addresses in the USA? Yes. My second most used country is Germany.

Re: [LegacyUG] Quick question on GEO database
The C:\Legacy\Geo folder can be copied to another computer without re-building it from the internet downloads. Once in place on the hard drive, then go to OptionsCustomizeOtherGeo Location Database and click Database Maintenance. Then click Set and navigate to where you put the GeoDB.gdb file. That will connect the file to Legacy and should work.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging
Paula, You have good questions. The focus group is like a saved search logic whereas tagged records actually have a value set in a field of the record. Tags are static and search logic is dynamic. If I tag all descendants of an ancestor today and see that there were 500 individuals tagged, then tomorrow add another 20 descendants to that tree, there will still be 500 tagged...not 520. But if I make a focus group of that ancestor and his descendants...it will have 500 today and 520 tomorrow when that focus group is used to find those records. Whether you tag the results of the search is a separate issue. And, like Alan said, the usage of the focus group varies with your needs. Ron Taylor --- On Sat, 2/25/12, Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: From: Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Date: Saturday, February 25, 2012, 9:45 AM I was looking forward to clarification on how why to use focus groups instead of tagging, but so far I am unconvinced, as both answers posted thus far seem to include the step of tagging somewhere in their process anyway. Or have I misread the two replies? It seems focus groups and tagging (or really the search process to determine who to tag) operate the same way, but tags have the advantage of allowing you to move through the resulting list of tagged people easily... using the next tagged arrow at the bottom of the family view. Just because individuals are in a focus group, doesn't give you quick access to those individuals for the purposes of, say, fixing an error. On the other hand, I have recently learned I can fix a whole lot of things straight from the Search Results, which would require neither tags nor a focus group. In pondering further as I typed, I suppose the advantage to defining a focus group comes when you are routinely exporting or reporting, because the list of individuals to include is dynamically built -- saving you the steps of re-running the search and tagging the results to be sure to include newly-added individuals, then exporting / reporting on tagged individuals. It depends on your purpose for identifying a set of individuals... right? --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: Ron Taylor doit4...@yahoo.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sat, February 25, 2012 9:15:13 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Focus groups vs. tagging A tag is an actual field in the individual or marriage record which can be used in a search to locate those records with the tag on or off. A focus group is a collection of criteria that can be used as the logic to filter a sub-set of the database dynamically and is not the actual records. The results of a search for records in the focus group could be tagged but as more records are added to the database, the new ones will not be automatically tagged when they satisfy the criteria in the focus group. A fresh search for the focus group would identify every record in that filter. One function of the focus group is to export a portion of the database. Records filtered by the focus group can easily be pushed out to a separate file which can then be sent to another researcher with only those records that are of interest for him/her. I find it very useful in Legacy to execute a detailed search for the focus group, tag the search results, and then in the Legacy Export...check the radio button All records with an individual tag of:, set the tag number, and then check the three boxes under that selection. Those boxes are labelled: Export all Spouses of Tagged Individuals, Export all Children of Tagged Individuals, and Export all Parents of Tagged Individuals. By checking those three optional boxes, not only are all the records in the focus group exported but also the individuals connected to them which essentially exports complete group sheets that include the tagged set. In summary...a tag is temporary data and a focus group is a collection criteria used to filter records. Focus groups can be saved and re-loaded for various purposes. You could have a focus group for collaboration with Aunt Margaret and another for data sharing with Grandma Johnson. I'm sure others have even more imaginative uses for these tools.

Re: [LegacyUG] maps?
John, those are some good suggestions, many of which I have not used precisely as you do. But I have never found a problem using the entire name of the State or Province with mine. I never use the abbreviations for the States or Provinces. I do use USA, however, and have thought about changing it to United States eventually, but there again, never had a problem that way. Maybe because I always use the standard four positions and include Co for County. --Jerry On 02/24/2012 03:39 PM, John B. Lisle wrote: Michele, I geocode locations from all over the world every day with Legacy and know how frustrating it can be. Let me share with you a few things I have learned and how I do it. 1/ If you add US, USA, etc. it can confuse Bing. I think Legacy now strips that off before it sends the location to Bing to geocode. 2/ If you write out the State, it will get more confused than if you use the Postal code for the state; eg, better to geocode TX vs. Texas. 3/ If the state has a city/town by the same name as the county, it will almost always find the city, even if you wanted the county. Putting Co. or County after a county name will help it understand what is a county. If I have the name of the town, I just enter it without the county. 4/ Bing will find a location differently depending on where the map is placed when it goes looking. EG, I have had it fail miserably to find a location when map was far away from location, but when location is in the view, it finds it precisely. 5/ Bing will USUALLY not find townships. 6/ Clean up the naming of the location after you have let Bing find the location. If you let Bing re-place the pin after you have cleaned up the location name, Bing may recode it elsewhere; usually this happens when the county name is same as a city/town name. My process is to enter a new location with the minimum of information and let Bing try to do its thing. Then I edit the location with the old Geocode database and let that try to get the name expanded properly. -- I have significantly edited the GeoCode-xxx.txt files to get the Geocode database to format the names to my naming standards. I compare the location coordinate found from old Geocode with Bing to see that they seem to agree. The old Geocode results are not as precise as Bing, but it will find places that Bing gets wrong. For coding at Country/State/Province/etc. level, I code to the capital. I use Wikipedia extensively to figure out county seats and townships. I code county level locations at the county seat and townships at the major town. I code cemeteries at the cemetery when I can find the location. (FindaGrave is very helpful with that.) I like to enter historical locations which are often NOT in any GeoCode database so I need to find where the location is now and manually place the pin where it needs to be. These systems are smart, but not smart enough. ;-) I go to this trouble because mapping is important to me, and I export the geocodes to my web publishing tool which does extensive mapping of the events for each person. ok? john.

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicated emails
Hi Elizabeth. Sorry, if I didn't notice, but do you read your email directly on the GMail website or with a client-based product? If you use a client-based product such as Thunderbird, Outlook, etc., you can set your email up as IMAP or POP. Basically, if you use POP, you will not have the ALL MAIL folder that some of the users are talking about. Only the IMAP protocol will give that to you, and IMAP is designed to sync all your client-based folders with GMail's website. But I would not be afraid to UN-SUBSCRIBE and then RE-SUBSCRIBE, if necessary to get rid of that duplication problem. If you have that other pesky problem when re-subscribing, I believe I can show you exactly what to do to resolve it, 9 times out of 10 or better, without having to contact support.

For me, Legacy is a tool not just to store information in, but hopefully one that will help me when I want to put all the information into an interesting story/history.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?
I'm glad to have discovered there is a notes place for events. There are times I want to comment on the event and add my interpretation and how it is important. There are a lot of features in legacy deluxe to discover. I was using mine in a way that basic would have sufficed, and want to start using all the features. But it will take awhile to learn them. Especially since I'm also trying to research a lot and other stuff happens, like having to deal with a computer browser freezing problem for several hours this morning. It was major frustrating.

Why can’t you just add notes to the event itself?

Here are a couple of simple examples, This is an entry I have for the 1820 census in Perry Co, MS for Silas Simmons Silas Simmons 1 free white male under age 10 [William] 1 free white male age 16 to under 26 [Silas] 1 free white female under age 10 [Elizabeth] 1 free age 16 to under 26 [Janet] I added WHO each person was because I knew but it wasn't on the census record itself.

As the information grows more sparse it isn't a problem, but with more immediate family, there are a lot of things to enter. If I put them all in the notes field they aren't connected with the event. I know this is probably a no brainer for those who are more familiar with the program, but is entering my stories and comments about the event into the source citation, the best way to do this?

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicated emails
There is an option to choose classic I think it's called. I tried the new version and hated it, so switched back to classic. It doesn't look quite the same, but better than the new one. I can't remember, but it was probably at the top under options and settings? Anyhow, I didn't have to unsubscribe and resubscribe. They also asked me if I wanted to enter info on why I didn't like the new version, which I happily told them. Sorry, this is off topic but there is so little I can offer anyone at this point that I hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] Short survey: Location vs. Address
To answer your questions 1. I put everything in the location. Probably my most extreme case is Plot no, row no, section, cemetery name, street no, street name, city name, county name, country name. I don't put anything in the address fields. I also don't use the double comma convention to show something is missing. I've never had anything missing, so it hasn't affected me. 2. The main benefit is that I can use the sorted location list to get everyone who lived in a single street, or who is buried in a single cemetery, or who was baptised, married or buried in a particular Church etc. Also, I always use short names in reports, so I can configure the short names to be whatever I like, to make the reports appear how I want. 3. I can't see any major disadvantage in the way I do things. I get a big location list, but I have to have that many entries in either the location list, the address list or some combination thereof. Occasionally Bing Maps throws a wobbly and puts a pointer in the middle of somewhere wrong, but that's usually easily fixed. 4. Mostly web pages at the moment, but I did give their personal ancestor report on paper to a few family members when I went back to the UK. 5. Almost all my locations are in the UK (85%), Australia (15%), elsewhere in the world (0.5%) all roughly. Yes, I know that adds up to 100.5% I do have one person born somewhere in America, and his location simply reads America because that's what the census taker wrote.

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN filing
I put ALL birth certs, newspaper birth announcements, etc. in one huge folder. Likewise with death certs, marriages, etc. I know some of you will gasp...just like my genealogy buddy does. LOL But I know EXACTLY where to look instantly. Everything is named in alphabetical order and then date order. I consider it as if it were a repository at a library. Legacy does the work of pulling the files from the repository. Why make life difficult trying to decide where a file goes when Legacy does it for you?

I get a lot of folders, but it seems consistent with the recommendation for paper filing given by Legacy. For those who use a similar system, either electronic or paper-based, how do you handle people who don't have marriages? I've been putting children's birth information in their parent's folder and then creating a folder for the child when they marry. If a child leaves home and appears on the census, for example, still unmarried and not with their parents, I put that data in the parent's folder, with a name which suggests the child. E.g. 1881 Census (M0123).jpg for the main family's census image, but 1881 Census - Mary Ann (I02345).jpg for the child's individual entry. My problem is what to do when the child marries. Should I move the child's information into the new MRIN folder, even though a lot of the info doesn't relate to that marriage? Should I have Individual folders RIN Individual Name for stuff specific to that child? That wuld mean a huge number of folders. What about second marriages, or what about a previous marriage being discovered? There must be an obvious, recommended way to handle this. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Tony 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] MRIN filing
Tony, I've been doing a variation of what you do and I got hung up on the same issues. It seems strange to look for an unmarried adult under his/her parents' MRIN to find hard copies of documents and photos. The idea of moving the files when a child marries makes sense if one is using the MRIN and isn't too difficult in small families. We are still left with the second marriage and/or newly discovered marriage problems and I haven't thought of a good solution. Hope someone else has suggestions.

Re: [LegacyUG] restoring multi media files
Use the built-in Windows compressed files and folders to extract the files. Make sure you have it set to restore the file's paths so the files will be in the same folders on the new computer as they were on the original machine.

Re: [LegacyUG] two windows, same file
What are you doing precisely? You can not split screens if you have a notes screen (or any other) open. Once a secondary screen has focus, you can not switch to another file.
