RE: [LegacyUG] Location Name Changes
It would be helpful in my case too, where many forefathers come from what is now Germany, but areas that have undergone significant changes in rulers/duchies/nations many times throughout history. It would also help with locales in the US that have undergone many county and some state/colony boundary revisions over time. -Original Message- From: Tony Rolfe [mailto:geneal...@gillandtony.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 6:02 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Location Name Changes Mike What I suggested was a master location record and a chain of location name records which are given a date range. (I don't know the Access terminology, but this should be clear, I hope) The advantages of this are that it is easy to produce a report showing how the location name has changed over time and it has only one entry in the master location list. Under the current scheme, there can be lots of entries for one physical location and they don't all sort together in the list. This makes it confusing when trying to see who lived at a single location when that location can be all over the shop. I'm probably more affected than many, because I like to put all address information into the location, but this would still make life easier for anyone who has a place name change over the years.

Re: [LegacyUG] Radius Search of Geo location database
Whether that is cheap rather depends on the price of gas, Wm :-) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: Wm Voss Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 1:11 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Radius Search of Geo location database Yes, but you will have to pay for it. It is cheap, less than 5 gallons of gas, worth many times the cost, and the company deserves the support.

[LegacyUG] Attach jpg as Picture AND as File
I sometimes attach a jpg twice, first as a Picture and then as a File. For group photos the "File" attachment then opens with Picasa or Windows Live and when I hover over a face their name pops up. (If I have previously ID'd that person) It's also handy to view census images in a separate window while inputting to Legacy. -- Richard Van Wasshnova 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).

Not wishing to rain on your parade, but if you only use the these location variations in dated events _and_ sort those events by date, doesn't this amount to much like what you're asking for? At least, that's how I think Millennia will view things. For me, I'd like to see something for locations along the lines of the AKA for names. Although, again, Millennia would probably say that's what the Notes field in the Master Location record is for.
