[LegacyUG] Download a tree from Ancestry or add a gedcom to legacy
Once you get two matching people in the pedigree view on both sides, you can drag and drop the "new" person on top of the "existing" person. It will then ask whether you want to include surrounding people. Once you have done that it should suggest doing an auto merge. This will probably work in family view as well, but I tend to live in pedigree view. As everyone else says, don't do this until you have verified the data. Don't include surrounding people you haven't verified.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
That makes sense. I knew that the census places were often districts but sometimes counties. It helps to know Grey North was the district. When I'm entering the source, I make likely use district, since that is how it is recorded? Then under location, I would just use Grey or Grey county.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Marg, Depending on the time frame I have locations that are Upper and Lower Canada, Canada West and Canada East. For those locations I also edit the place location and put the time frame that it was with that name and I include the following explanation: 1841-1867 In 1791 the Constitution Act divided Quebec (the former New France) into Upper and Lower Canada. Each had its own legislature and its own unique civil law codes and rules of land tenure. Upper Canada was largely English-speaking and Lower Canada was almost entirely French-speaking. In 1841 the Act of Union united Upper and Lower Canada as the Province of Canada with two halves -- Canada West and Canada East -- collectively known as "The Canadas." Then in 1867 the British North American Act created the Dominion of Canada and Canada East and Canada West became separate provinces known as Quebec and Ontario. Also that year the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick agreed to join together. These dates are important to family historians because references to Upper and Lower Canada indicate a date before 1841; references to Canada West and Canada East means sometime between 1841 and 1867, and any reference to Ontario implies a time after 1867. When someone born before 1867 told an American census taker that they were "born in Canada" they usually meant Ontario, but might mean Quebec.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Peggy - I don't know how others do things (I am sure we will get lots of responses) but I have a great deal of Newfoundland (pre and post confederation) as well as some British Columbia. While that is not Ontario I think the same principles apply. At the outset, I do use a four place master location and I know that many others consider this a USA driven convention. Most important point, be sure to take a look at articles about naming locations for any of the areas you work with and learn some of the history so you know what the location was when your event took place. You have some serious issues with Ontario because of time-frames - Upper and Lower Canada, various provinces while it was part of Quebec, and the confederation issue. I would suggest if you want to follow the timing that you check out the wikipedia article (I know but it is a good start) and then the Archives of Canada for the discussion of administrative units). I did the same type of thing when I was looking into Newfoundland, Norway, Sweden and Ireland for my own database. You might also want to put that information into a timeline to assist you if there are marked changes. My practice is as follows: (a) Norway - I include the farm name in the suffix in my entries for Norwegian families (they are often known by their farm names) so Lanke, Nedre-Stjordal, Nord-Trondelag, NORWAY [however, I do use the correct special characters in my database for norwegian) (b) Ireland - I include town or village, county, province and country for Ireland so Saint Mullins, County Carlow, Leinster, IRELAND (c) Sweden - I include town or village, county, province and country for Sweden so Basterud, Eksharad, Varmlands lan, SWEDEN [again correct special characters in my database for swedish] (d) Newfoundland - For my Newfoundland (pre and post confederation) and for the other provinces of Canada I do as follows: If it is pre-1949 (confederation), my location reads: Plate Cove, Bonavista Bay, , NEWFOUNDLAND If it is post-1949 (confederation), my location reads: Plate Cove, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador, CANADA (e) Canada - my example for British Columbia reads as follows: Vancouver City, Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA (f) USA - again four conventions so Seattle, King, Washington, USA I realize that this does not work for all countries but I do make an effort to go the country's website and figure out how they break down their country codes, then I make a note in the master location list edit section if I feel I need to add any specialty information. The key is to think about what you want to do, how you want it to read, and if you and someone else will understand what you are referencing. Above all, don't abbreviate (or if you do put that in the short form) because codes change over time and you want to try to do this once and have a system in place. Just my thoughts. Best of luck!

To anyone on this list who is interested in the Virtual LUG, (a) If you are already on Google+ you can share a post and direct to me +Tessa Keough - just tell me that you are interested in learning more about group and I will respond in Google+. (b) If you are not already on Google+ there are some very simple videos explaining Google+ (signing up for an account with your email address, setting privacy settings, and your profile). Once you are signed up, we can post back and forth through Google+. The helpful aspect of being on Google+ is you can attend hangouts which are simply small group video conferencing (audio and visual) with the ability to share our computer screens (helpful for the person who is presenting each month) and have visual interaction (think Skype but with more people). (c) If you want to discuss before doing anything with Google+, you can send me an email offline - from this post as I am sure that Legacy may think this conversation is starting to veer off the original course. In this regard, I did send in a news item which I believe has to be approved by the powers that be at Legacy. Thanks for your interest.

You will need to ask your cousin to download her tree to a GEDCOM file and you can load that into Legacy. I haven't ever had to do it myself, but the received wisdom is that you "clean up" the new file first and when you have just the people you want and the way you want them you merge them into your existing family file. -- 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] Download a tree from Ancestry or add a gedcom to legacy
I'm sure others who know more will respond. Do you have a subscription to ancestry? If you have her information on your ancestry tree, you can download your tree to a gedcome and create a new legacy tree to compare the files with. I don't know if there is any kind of auto compare button to eliminate duplicates since I haven't done it, but it sounds as though that's the recommended thing to do with Gedcoms. Open the files side by side and check the info before you put it into your file. I guess you would have to cut and paste from one file to the other - guessing at that. If you don't have your cousin's information on your own family trees, she has probably invited you to see them. You can do that without a subscription. Maybe she would download gedcoms and send them to you via email. I'll be interested in reading what others have to say since I, too, need to learn more about how to take the quickest route to merging two files. > > From: MJ SA >To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com >Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 1:50 PM >Subject: [LegacyUG] Download a tree from Ancestry or add a gedcom to legacy > >My cousin has a few different trees on ancestry, which is a great >idea, she is separating families.

[LegacyUG] Download a tree from Ancestry or add a gedcom to legacy
My cousin has a few different trees on ancestry, which is a great idea, she is separating families. Normally I add the info to legacy by cut, copy and paste. But there has to be an easier way, she added a lot of names the past few weeks. Is there anyway to get her family line on legacy?

Tessa, You'll have a job, there is no digest version :-). Whilst I don't always do it by the book myself, you won't go far wrong if you keep the post to which you are replying, or if it's large then the bit to which you are replying, and trim everything else, particularly the Legacy links at the end of every email.

Can I also add a small, personal plea. Please, preface your signatures with a line containing two hyphens and a space. "Real" email programs will automatically trim everything following this signature-intro, leaving you with less to think about having to trim. Millennia could help here by adding the intro to their additions. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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] Repositories
Thanks for the reminder Tim. Love it "from my qwerty keys" I'd also like to take this moment to remind people to *PLEASE* trim off all the excess, esp the tag lines that the email program adds to the end of every message and messages that don't apply directly to your response, when you respond. If we had digest and people had to scroll through all the excess, you'd hear a lot of squawking! And don't forget that we have a couple of excellent "helpers" on the list who don't get HTML messages so you'll never hear from them if you send in HTML. Thanks!

Re: [LegacyUG] Repositories
I agree, Tim, but this can be difficult. Using the tablet from which I am currently replying I either leave all the original post and footers (as below) or nothing at all - a lose-lose situation!
