Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source Title
I use 'Vacation' Rich in LA CA From: Judith To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, August 9, 2012 5:48 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Master Source Title Hello: I’m trying to add a master source for a ‘travel’ event’. It’s not immigration or emigration, or anything to do with passport records, the person is just traveling, in this case back to his homeland years after his immigration, for a visit. Any suggestions? Can ‘Travel’ be a master source, or is there another/better source title?

RE: [LegacyUG] Master Source Title
Well, the travel itself is the Event, not the Source. What is your Source for the Event? Is it your Personal Knowledge? Travel Documents? Diary entries? Photographs? Something else?

[LegacyUG] Source Clipboard Detail problem
I frequently transcribe documents and entered this information in the text/comment area of the Source Clipboard. Today when doing the normal copy and paste from my word document to the text area, the output preview does not show line spacing and leaves off the first word of each line. I have run check/repair but that makes no difference. It seems that some time ago this problem was addressed on this list, but I could not find it in the archives. Could some kind lister help?

Re: [LegacyUG] error 3163
Robert, According to the error number: • Backup Error 3163 This error is caused if the zip file being created reaches the 2GB maximum file size that is allowed in Windows. So how big is the GEDCOM file you are trying to import? If you imported it into a new family file then you could just merge that new family file into your working file. Have you tried that?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy > Dropbox > Syncback
Yep, I think we've pretty well determined that keeping our genealogy databases and other files on cloud services are not a great idea. Was just pointing out the difference between Dropbox and SugarSync. I hadn't thought of all the things that could go wrong on SugarSync as well. Thanks for the warning. I keep a backup from the Legacy installation to several external drives as well, although if the present one went bad I'd still be losing up to two weeks of work. After watching Thomas' webinar I decided the only files I keep in Dropbox are shared folders and portable apps. I have SugarSync installed but don't use it presently. Same with Google Drive and Amazon Cloud. I was curious to see how they all work but don't really have a use for them except as a secondary backup, perhaps someday. I believe it was Bill Gates who said someday we won't care if all our files are online, personal computers will disappear to all intents and purposes and it will be one seamless experience everywhere we go. (something like that) Not today. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 8/10/2012 1:04 PM, Lee Bruch wrote: > Just be sure that if your files on SugarSynch get changed or deleted for any > of many reasons that the following will not occur - there is a real danger > that it could happen - check to make sure: > A possibility: > 1. your files on SugarSynch get deleted or changed by any of many unexpected > causes > 2. you open your computer and it automatically synchs > 3. all your files synch to the last action, that of the change or delection > that happened at SugarSuynch > 4.

Re: [LegacyUG] everyone comes up on the index two times
Hi everyone, Ok so I do have my own trees on legacy. On Ancestry I have a tree also and with the very limited family I have found I added these people on ancestry, actually it was most of my own research so I could confirm that it was a true relation. Since I don't sync ancestry and legacy, I don't even know if I can, I was not putting everything on my family tree on legacy. So what I wanted to do was take my ancestry tree and put it on legacy as a new tree.

You didn't make it clear it was your own tree initially. Many of the Ancestry trees contain errors. I found one where my 3x great uncle was attached to the wrong parents, the wrong wife and the wrong birth place. When I asked about this, the person who'd put the tree up didn't both correcting it, checking out what I had but simply made the tree private. The same 3x great uncle was on another tree with three different wives, three different birth places in three different counties and three different occupations - none of it correct. Again, the person who put the tree up not only wouldn't accept their own research was wonky, but that it was nothing to do with my 3x great uncle. Am I right about my 3xgreat uncle? Three cousins independent of each other and me all went back to the same place, one of them a direct descendent of my 3x great uncle :)) > Anyway, Ancestry is only letting me download as a gedcom.

Charani, why do you say "why is "you did download a tree from Ancestry (very dodgy move IMO)." Why is it dodgy to download my own tree? Anyway, Ancestry is only letting me download as a gedcom.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy > Dropbox > Syncback
Sorry I wasn't that clear the first time, Charani. Maybe it's the heat here, which is around 116ºF/46.1ºC in the afternoon, and drops to a mere 90ºF/32.2ºC during the night. :-) Good job the humidity seldom climbs above 20%. :-) Dropbox is a good secondary storage area, and can provide a convenient means of transferring files, but I would never use it as the primary storage location for anything, even if I chose to pay for a higher level of service to eliminate the threat of files expiring and being erased by Dropbox staff.

[LegacyUG] Notes
Notes, notes everywhere! But how to make a sensible journal out of the jumble the numerous note areas create in reports. Is it possible to put notes under "general" with footnotes? That is, sequential notes each with a source attached - would that print out as a narrative? The only way I see now is to transfer a report to a word processing program and rewrite!

Re: [LegacyUG] everyone comes up on the index two times
What I would do, if it is at all possible for you, is to use File>Restore Family File using a back-up from before the time you downloaded the Ancestry file. It is recommended by Legacy that when downloading an external file it is downloaded to a new .fdb file and only merged after weeding out those individuals which are not required. Personally, I have never, nor never will, download and merge anybody's work without checking the data from original sources.

Synching both my machines could be useful (providing they don't both sink, of course). My concern though had been that if for any reason I couldn't access an account and the plug was pulled, everything would be deleted and I'd be sunk. John's clarified that one. I still don't think Dropbox or any similar cloud computing would be an answer for me. > BTW thanks for your kind thoughts. 8>< for brevity only YW :)) > I'm quite at peace > with where and what I am.

After what you've been through, I can understand your outlook. My husband's been through the mill a bit too. So's my son who has been prodded and poked all his life to such an extent because of his disabilities, he gets unco-operative now when the hospital or doctor wants to do tests or checks. As you say, it's seeing the children suffering. It makes you wonder how life can be so cruel to innocent little 'uns and cause so much grief to their families and friends. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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).

Although Travel is, as you say, an event, I don't see why you couldn't use it as a source title to encompass all/any sources/events that might fall under that heading. Legacy is flexible enough that you can use it however you see fit even if it wasn't how it was envisaged it would be used :)) -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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).

It's probably because you did download a tree from Ancestry (very dodgy move IMO). Ask Legacy to do a merge *but* be aware many of the trees on Ancestry are full of errors as a result of guesswork, hijacking other people's trees, etc. It would have been better to have downloaded the tree to a new family file first so you could confirm the accuracy of the tree you got from Ancestry before merging it with your own tree. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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).

Can't tell you how pleased I am you said that! I accidentally deleted a file from DB a few days ago and was furious with myself because although it wasn't a *vital* file it was going to take an awful lot of time and effort to re-create it.

Is it your Personal Knowledge? Travel Documents? Diary entries? Photographs? Something else? The Source Title (and the template you use if you are using SourceWriter) will depend entirely on the type of Source you are citing. -- 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).

That's what syncing means. A *VERY* good reason to keep your main Legacy files away from the DropBox folder :-) I.e. only use the DropBox folder as a backup area and _copy_ your FDB file to it rather than pointing DropBox at the 'real' file folder. -- 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).
