RE: [LegacyUG] Alt Name vs AKA
The main advantage to using AKA is that those names by option can appear in the Names List and then an individual can be located using any of the alias names since they are sorted and indexed with the main names. Info in the event records can be searched but not in the same way as the Names List. An alternate name as an event might have more detailed documentation than the alias name. You may have a case for using both.Ron Taylor 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] Where is the best place to post obituary in Legacy?
Or you could put the obituary in BOTH the Obituary Event Notes AND in the source detail text. I have been doing that with my census events as I'm not sure which way I will want the reports in the future (got this idea from Geoff). Then I have a different event sentence depending on if I have anything in the Description field. If I do, I don't include Notes in my sentence. If I don't have anything in the Description field, I do include the Notes in my sentence. What I put in the description field is simply age 16 (whatever age is in the notes). So if I want the notes to print, I just delete the description. This may or may not work for you for Obituaries. Just my thoughts.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alt Name vs AKA
I believe that Alt. Name is created by LegacyFS when you pull an alternate name into your Legacy file from nFS. Same is true of Alt. Birth, Alt. Death, Alt. Burial. There may be a few others. The important thing to realize is that those event definition names are hard-coded in LegacyFS. If you already have an Alt Birth definition (note the missing period), when you pull an alternate birth from LegacyFS, it will not use your Alt Birth but will insert the new Alt. Birth into the event definitions table. If you combine those, you would be wise to combine Alt Birth into Alt. Birth or else that LegacyFS name will show up again next time you pull that data from nFS. The same is true of the other Alt. names created by the LegacyFS interface.Ron Taylor 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] problem with unmarried
Since you have made an entry in the marriage info for this person Legacy has linked her to an unknown husband (The married someone comes from that link). If she truly never married and had no children then you should indicate that on the person's individual information screen not by setting a marriage status. If she had children then there must be a marriage to create the link between her and her children so my fix below cannot be used. Remove the marriage link by selecting the person, right click on her marriage info bar Select the Remove the marriage link option from the drop down menu Now edit the person and click the This individual never married and had no children option below the list of events.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Thanks, Brian, I knew that option was somewhere but couldn't find it. However that brings up another matter, especially for men -- I may pretty well know that he never married, but he could certainly have fathered children that I know nothing about. I wish the option simply said He never married. and stopped at that.

If she truly never married and had no children then you should indicate that on the person's individual information screen not by setting a marriage status. If she had children then there must be a marriage to create the link between her and her children so my fix below cannot be used. Remove the marriage link by selecting the person, right click on her marriage info bar Select the Remove the marriage link option from the drop down menu Now edit the person and click the This individual never married and had no children option below the list of events.

I just don't want Legacy telling us that she was unmarried AND that she married someone! It does that even when there's no date involved.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alt Name vs AKA
Alt. Spelling is not a Legacy event/fact. I have an Alt. Spelling but I created it to use instead of AKA every time someone's name was spelled slightly different. I only use AKA if someone truly had more than one distinct name.

I use AKA for other names that are different, for the same person. For instance, I have someone that changed his name 3 times... I use AKA for that.
