RE: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file
Mary, the dates are not wrong they are just different formats. Excel applies an intelligent automatic formatting of dates which depends on the input formatting and the century part of the date. Hal Antonson has already replied on how to overcome this. The intelligence is laughable if you consider the date you mentioned Just type into excel in 2 dirrent cells 1 sep 1913 1 sep 2013 The result is the same 1-sep-13 Although in the fx display above the columns the date is identified correctly Alan Pereira -Original Message- From: M. Brenzel [mailto:brenze...@roadrunner.com] Sent: 28 February 2012 02:14 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file I have created a CSV file from the Name List containing Surname/Given Name, Living Indicator, Birth Date, and Death Date. When I look at the file in Notepad, the dates look good. But when I open it in Excel, some of the dates are formatted differently than most of the others. For example, the date 1 Sep 1913 in Legacy looks the same in Notepad but in Excel, it is displayed as 1-Sep-13. When I look at the table in Access (tblIR), the dates look different than those that are correct. Does anyone have an idea why the dates are messed up for some people but not others? And is there an easy way to fix them?

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures
Are you referring to *linking* pictures to Legacy? Downloading refers to copying files from a server on the internet to your computer. What is this download folder you have? Pictures you link to in Legacy should be stored in the c:\Legacy\Pictures folder. What Master file are you referring to? Is that your Family File? You can link an unlimited number of pictures in each Picture Gallery. You're probably referring to the question mark icon as the place holder. That shows up when an attached item is moved from its original location, deleted or renamed. When you link pictures to Legacy, they need to be in the place where you want to keep them stored and not move them after linking.

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN filing
Christine - I also use the MRIN system and love it. Even if the family numbers are not sequential I have no problem locating any members. My info has been collected over many years so that contributes to the distance from parent to child and so on. I have a prodigious number of paper records collected over the years and file them in loose-leaf protectors behind my Family Group Sheets. Like to be able to refer to them with the FGS. Now, I am only saving digital copies of most. I never thought of storing my online stuff in this fashion. Thanks for the tip.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pictures
If your file system on your operating system is NTFS (XP, Vista, Win 7), then you have a limit of 4,294,967,295 files per folder. So this is unlikely to be your problem.

I may be quite wrong about this, but I have an idea that Legacy will accept dates input in any of several formats, but displays them in the format chosen by the user. If this is the case, I think dates will be exported to the CSV file in the format they were entered, not in the format they were displayed. You could test this by entering a couple of dates in different formats and then export them and seeing how they look in Excel.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file
I won't be able to try it until later tonight. But I can tell you that it appears to only affect full dates after 1 Dec 1900. Dates in the 20th and 21st centuries seem to be affected if the full date has been entered. Any dates prior to that are captured correctly in the CSV file and therefore, open correctly in Excel. For example, 19 Jul 1905 is displayed in Legacy with the BirthD field in tblIR = 0019071905 and BirthSD = 19050719. The CSV file shows it as 19-Jul-05 and when opened in Excel, the fx displays it as 7/19/2005.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file
Excel doesn't recognize dates prior to 1900 so it will leave those alone. Dates starting with 1900 are converted to a number so you can do 'arithmetic' on them. Thus full dates are converted and partial dates are not. You must have the date formatting in excel set up to show m/d/. Those that aren't recognized as dates aren't formatted.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info
I got to the Descendant's link and it took me to the page with the Coat of Arms. I couldn't find a PDF file. Maybe because I would need to sign in? I'm trying to follow your information. You can add place-holder pages to keep numbering intack and then replace the blank pages with the pdf files. By blended families do you mean families where two branches intertwined because of cousins, or step cousins/etc marrying. For a book, I would likely redo the whole part and use the report information, but edited. Does Legacy add any text files as media? such as extracted obits or stories? If I thought a pdf creator with Legacy was the answer (if my open source program didn't work) I would purchase one. Then would you cut and paste the legacy report into it before editing? For my first small book, I used Word Perfect. It was frustrating, because sometimes the photos or images would get pushed pages away from where I put them. Eventually I got it finished, but wouldn't want to do a large book that way. And now I use open office, not Word Perfect. A desktop publishing program that didn't cost a fortune might be the way to go. I think I used one in the distant past, but it too had it's quirks. For my second small book I used Photoshop but obviously that's not ideal for a book. So many options and none are perfect. But Legacy will be the base for any final program so it will have to work with reports. I hope I don't sound too confusing; if I do it's because I'm confused. ;) From: Jan Roberts poo...@ozemail.com.au To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 2:20 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info If you’d like to have a look at a ‘book’ I’ve generate from Legacy go to http://www.branchesandtwigs.wikispace.com Scroll down the left hand side until you get to a link to Descendants of Thomas SULLIVAN. Click on that, then click on the link to Descendants of Thomas SULLIVAN.pdf. That will take you to a report I generated in Legacy. I quite like the pdf output from Legacy - I guess the only drawbacks are that all of the images are in a line down the right hand side, and some of the images are too small to read the text. Legacy doesn’t print other ‘media’ files attached to your report, for example pdf files. You would have to print and add them separately for your book. I haven’t used the publishing centre in Legacy, but I believe you can add place-holder pages which keep page numbering intact and you can replace the ‘blank pages with your pdf files. Another drawback is that in the case of ‘blended’ families, which I like to include because I am more a family historian than a true genealogist, people who are included in two (or dare I say more) marriages have all of their information printed twice (or more) even if you have selected to not include duplicate lines. As I don’t have a pdf creator program I can’t edit my Legacy generated pdf’s and remove the surplus entries. I tried using rtf format, but found that removing great chunks of text messed up pagination and image placement among other things so I have opted for pdf and leave the duplicate info. Because I publish as a wiki rather than an actual book I am able to add extra photos, pdfs etc. to my wiki site.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info
Peggy I produced a PDF from Legacy and used PDF software called Nitro (it’s much less expensive than Acrobat) and I can then do further editing, adding text, pictures etc. This is not the PDF reader software which is free, this is software that you have to purchase (there is a 2 week free trial period) for about £60 sterling (guessing about $100 US) that lets you work within the actual PDF. That is exactly how I produced that sample book, but I have to be honest and say that I normally use a desk top publishing program called Quark Express, although the cost is not justifiable for the average person (about $1,000 US). As far as the content of the book goes, just using Legacy can restrict you a bit to more or less the historical aspect, my sample was to throw some other ideas into the publication. The finished article will then have much more appeal to others, almost a book to leave on the coffee table! I would always start by making a “Legacy Report”, it still does most of the work for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info
Thank you for the Links. Your example is helpful. That's what I did with my small book in 2005, I used Legacy for the skeleton and rewrote it for my family. I checked the Hatcher book on Amazon and there is another one that looks good also. I'll check my local library and store to look them over first. I wonder if anyone ever published a book on using Legacy as the base of a Family History book? There is one on Amazon for Family Tree Maker, but my version (12) is too buggy to depend on. I am not interested in formally publishing anything, just something for family members, but it looks like there is a lot of useful information in those books. I wonder how much of it would help in tips on entering information into Legacy. It would probably be more helpful as I learn the program better. There are different ways and ideas on entering data and I guess I'll learn by trial and error.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info
Yes, I enjoyed the montages very much. You need a lot of photos though! You put a lot of work into just that sample. I feel so far behind on all of this. And that is exactly what I would hope to print, a book that relatives would enjoy on their coffee table. :) All I want for Christmas is a fairy godmother at my shoulder showing me the best way to enter information into Legacy, so that what comes out will need the least amount of work to make my book in the end. Not much, right!

That is exactly how I produced that sample book, but I have to be honest and say that I normally use a desk top publishing program called Quark Express, although the cost is not justifiable for the average person (about $1,000 US). As far as the content of the book goes, just using Legacy can restrict you a bit to more or less the historical aspect, my sample was to throw some other ideas into the publication. The finished article will then have much more appeal to others, almost a book to leave on the coffee table! I would always start by making a “Legacy Report”, it still does most of the work for you.

I have open source software that produces PDF files, but at this point have so much to learn about legacy that it will be awhile before I am at the place of using it.

[LegacyUG] Re: Merging a gedcom into Legacy
I'm doing that right know. I down loaded a GEDCOM from Acom and entered it into Legacy, save with a different name so no confusion. The data in the Acom ged was very different than what I wanted in my Legacy file, so I could/didn't want to do a merge. What I am doing is, following the sources in the Acom Legacy file, tagging them, say New York City births, then with both my main Legacy file and the Acom file open in split windows,I follow the tags in Acom, then go the the same person in my main Legacy tree, then open the Acom tree online and find the person and the record I want to transfer. Then copy from online Acom and enter the data into my main Legacy file. Tedious, but I'm finding the records I added to my online Acom tree and entering them into my main Legacy file. Good luck and take care.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Merging a gedcom into Legacy
The merge in Legacy is one reason why I went to it in the first place. It intelligently looks for merges, and finds nearly all potential merges just given a simple start. It will also automatically merge identical records. I don't know how it handles sources or events, however. But most GEDCOMs don't handle them properly, either. Legacy lets you look at the differences and decide which to use, and allows you to keep both different items if you wish.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Merging a gedcom into Legacy
Thanks, Carl. I'll find out as much as I can and then just do it. By the way, the new files I bought on the special, Genwatch and I can't remember the name of the other one. I didn't know anything about them, but with such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up. Would either of them help? I'll also study how to use them if that is what either is meant for. I'm so busy on Ancestry.com collecting so many family sources, I just don't take the time yet to learn legacy. I'm hoping I can import what I'm doing into Legacy, rather than cut and paste all the information. I appreciate the input!

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Merging a gedcom into Legacy
I did a search on Acom and I think it mean's Ancestry.com. Anyhow what I found was a lot of financial information about investing in it. Might not be a bad idea if you have any money lying around not doing anything. The prices are lower. Actually they are pretty high for subscribers and lower for investors. So I'm off. Got to back up and get some sleep. four and a half months of my subscription left and I'm far from done with just my mother's family. How I wish I had the time to learn more about Legacy right now! It's so good to find sources for a lot of unsourced information people sent me.

That is already possible. When in the Index view, click Options. At the end of each Field Name, there is a box containing three dots. Click on the box at the end of the first empty Field Name.
