Do you mean you can't see where you added a picture to an Event/Source for that person or you can't see where the picture is missing? The list of missing files will tell you exactly where the missing picture should be, eg Picture: Individual Event: Source Detail: , so if you go that Event or Source and look in the Picture Gallery or on the Multimedia tab you should see a big blue question mark where the missing image should be. It's possible that there is an Event picture missing but you are going direct to the Individual's Picture Gallery from the icon on their Information screen and you don't have All Pictures selected. -- 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] Mixed up marriage numbers
Marli, Can you please clarify, are you saying that when you click on the Family View picture icon the program hangs rather than crashes? I do not really understand Did the scan from the event (death certificate). Sometimes it crashes there as well (when I save as)- says file not found. , please can you clarify, and if at all possible please look for an error number when a problem arises, also tell us if there isn't one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Thank You all re: AKA Alt. Names a question

Highlight the citation line for the AKA and click on the two-pages copy source to clipboard icon in the lower left to copy it to the clipboard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date Order
The Index view is another way of looking at the Name List. Like the Name LIst, it can only be sorted by #, Given and Surname. You can save the Index Report (click on the Print button in the Name List) as csv but Excel doesn't know what to do with dates prior to 1901 so you won't get a good sort by dates. GenViewer, an add-on program which we sell, does sort by column. You might want to take a look at that. It's an *awesome* viewer which will read the FDB file (as well as several other genealogy file types) and allows you to do some great searches, sorts and has some basic report printing features. My favorite feature is the self-viewing gedcom, which allows you to create a file that has a run-time of GenViewer so you can view the file on any computer without installing any programs.

[LegacyUG] GEDCOMs - exporting - problem with deleting a source.
I have created a .gedcom of the ancestors of a 2x grgrandmother. I am trying to eliminate a faulty source that I don't need. Legacy won't delete it as it is being 'used.' When I click on show List,' I am told it is attached to Marriage Record 902. So I do a search on MRIN = 902. I am told it does not exist. So I go to the original file (the file I created the GEDCOM from) and search for MRIN = 902. That marriage record is for someone in an entirely different branch of the family, someone who is NOT included in the GEDCOM at all. So how do I get rid of the faulty source?? Thanks!

I suppose I should add that I was able to delete it in the original file, so all I have to do is put it back in correctly and create a new .gedcom. Which I hope to be able to open.

Re: [LegacyUG] Lumping events
On 04/10/2012 20:15, Barbara wrote: Someone recently mentioned lumping events. I'm not sure that anyone did. I think it more likely that lumping was mentioned in relation to Sources. LUGgers tend to fall into one of two groups which we refer to as Lumpers and Splitters. Splitters have lots of similar Master Sources, for example having a different Master Source for every Birth Certificate they cite, whereas Lumpers will have one Master Source for all Birth Certificates, or perhaps one for each Country or State. Is there a way to do it so individual changes can be made? i.e. My relative was in the War of 1812 and there are 4 different payroll and muster roll dates along with spelling his name 4 differeng ways. Is there a way to put everything under a military event and have the different dates and different name spellings be spelled out? OR Do I need to enter 4 different Military Events for each of the four dates and names? I don't think you can enter 4 separate dates into a Date field, but you could certainly create one Event and put all the information into the Notes, or most into Notes and something in the Description field. Then attach the 4 different Sources to the one Event. -- 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).

[LegacyUG] Another problem -- sorry! -- with source list names in a new .gedcom
What do I have to do to get my new .gedcom to show the Master Source List Names?? It SAYS it's giving me the Source List Name, but in that column, it is actually giving me the Title! In other words, Legacy has removed the Source List Name and replaced it with the [Source] Title!!! I know of nothing I can do relevant to this: In OptionsCustomizeSources, I have checked Include the Source List Name as part of the source citation pages on reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] does gedcom drop source details???
Pat, By generic, do you mean a generic GEDCOM as selected from the drop-down list, if so then it should include Sources. Ah!!! I just realised that you are probably using Source Writer when I expect the Source Details to be dropped by pretty well all of them except for Legacy GEDCOMs, and I’m not even sure about that one! Even if the GEDCOM contains the Source Details the chances of them being imported into another program are just about zero. The GEDCOM standards are old, out-dated, and past it! This is nothing to do with Legacy just inertia by the GEDCOM standards committee (or what have you).

Re: [LegacyUG] How to add notes in the repository
I would not try to add the fact that you have a copy of a particular source to the repository notes. I would add it to either the master source comments (if the source was a book) or to the details if it is a certificate or an extract of some records from a larger source. The repository is like a library which holds many different items (sources). Notes for the repository were set up to record miscellaneous things; like operating hours for a bricks and mortar repository, for which there is no field in the address details. Saying you have a copy of a source in a repository is like saying you have a copy of Joe Blows book about your ancestral family from the library of congress.

RE: [LegacyUG] does gedcom drop source details???
Without wading all the way back through this thread, I have to now ask this question…what makes you think there are no source details in your exported gedcom? In other words, exactly what or how are you trying to view this data? You had one message that said “in checking your gedcom…” so just what does “checking” mean, that is, how are you viewing the data? The details may be there but something or somehow they are not being displayed depending upon your method of displaying it. Have you tried sending a sample .GED to someone else to have them confirm that your source details are indeed off to never-never land?

Brian,Thanks for your reply. I tried that but still no source details! Ron, to respond to some of your points: You wrote: 1) By generic, do you mean a generic GEDCOM as selected from the drop-down list. Ans.: YES! 2) Ah!!! I just realised that you are probably using Source Writer Ans.: Now I usually use source writer but MANY of my entries are in the basic,original syste.-- I don't know what it's called. Doesn't matter-- I don't have ANY source details. 3) Even if the GEDCOM contains the Source Details the chances of them being imported into another program are just about zero. Ans.: I am exporting from Legacy into Legacy. (I chose the generic style because I want to upload eventually into WikiTree. I don't EVER remember anybody discussing this before -- if the source details are dropped then one has to become an extreme splitter or else the sourcing info will be extremely vague. I have zillions of entries under Findagrave, for example, with only the Detail info to distinguish one entry from another. Also, it seems to me we should be warned if Legacy introduces something new that means it will no longer travel via .gedcom, but that may be asking too much. The more I work with Legacy, the more I realize how complicated it all is!!
