On the further subject of archiving images in Legacy and elsewhere, while I was working through the thousands of documents, articles and images a lady delivered to my friend a pair of cardboard boxes, each measuring about two feet on each side. Both boxes were filled to the brim with beautiful photographs, mostly from the last quarter of the 19th century, though some were as late as the 1920s from the styles of clothing, and some were early cabinet photos from the 1860s. They were all extremely well preserved and unblemished, mounted in mats and folders. The product of a variety of studios in a variety of geographic locations. The lady who brought them had no idea who they were, or to whom they might be related. She knew that we were doing some fairly intensive work on family history and thought we might be able to identify some of them or find descendants who might like to have them. Unfortunately not a single photograph had any identifying markings. Those photos should have been scanned and posted on web sites for others to view and possibly identify. I have no idea what the disposition of those photos was. What a tragic loss to the families of those in the photos. I urge all of you to mark the photos you have with names, dates, places and circumstances where know, and also to scan each image and develop a file naming standard that will allow anyone viewing the file names to know who, what, when and where they were taken. Paper, or electronic filing systems that tag photos and image files with numbers and require separate index lists to identify those in the photos, or systems that place photos and image files in folders by surname, but only use given names on the photos themselves, often end up with the index lists disappearing, or the photos being separated from the surname folders. Each individual photo, or electronic image file should bear enough information to identify the people in the image, along with the date, place and ideally the circumstances of that photo or image file. I strongly urge that your file naming standard be based on surnames rather than on dates. Our goal is to document the lives of people, not the happenings of years. Those who come after us may not have a clue what year look at for a particular image, but they will recognize the surnames, and often the given names, of those whose image they seek in a list of electronic file names. There is much more that can be done to develop a useful file naming standard, and I have documented such a standard in previous submissions to this list. I developed my personal standard over a period of years working with thousands of photographs of other peoples families. Having such a file naming standard allowed me to organize those images so that I could find anyone easily in seconds. That standard us now fairly well-established, though minor changes continue to evolve as needs arise. One of the additional benefits of the file naming standard I use is that it allows me to keep all of my electronic images of individuals in a single folder, and images of groups (2 or more people in a photo), documents and places things in three sub-folders. That makes it very easy to both back up those image files, or to move them if the need arises. If anyone is interested I will be happy to send

Re: [LegacyUG] how I site my sources

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with genealogical files after death of compi ler
Regarding photos AND what to do with files after death of compiler. Regarding photos, we have too many people of the same name so I use the RIN # in the name of the photo. Regarding genealogy files, our one side of the family has a duly elected Family Historian along with other officers for the Reunion Committee. When the last Family Historian was dying of cancer, she quietly had a relative help her to bring boxes and boxes of info to local genealogical and historical societies. She didn't like genealogy software but wanted everything in Microsoft Word using the family's old numbering system. We have corrected so many mistakes that now that numbering system is obsolete and irrelevant since it was based upon birth order, some of which were very wrong. However, she also had 17 boxes of uncomputerized, unsorted, unfiled, unorganized mess leftover. Her grandson gave it to the President of the Family Reunion Committee. I was elected the new Family Historian and have been influencing and connecting with others in the family who use Legacy. Those switching over to Legacy are amazed. My predecessor never worked with people. She felt threatened by others. However, my first step was reaching out to others and forming a committee which is working on finalizing a book after my being elected in August of 2009. I still have about 12-13 boxes to go through, but we have compiled all the prior published research into the computer, worked on LOTS and LOTS of corrections of info, run Potential Problems Reports as well, and solicited updates from everyone possible with a promise of a free print out of their grandparents on down. Next year is the 280th anniversary of our first male immigrant's arrival in the colonies, and we expect to have the book ready just 4 years after being elected. Hopefully we can have much more of the articles and things scanned and in the next book in 2020. Forty years is way to long for people to wait for a book with the last 15 years having someone in charge who doesn't even own a computer. Our Family Reunion is actually a genealogy fest. LOTS of very distant relatives have been working on research so we know no dearth of interest. We even have a few minutes of storytelling by the Family Historian as well as a report of the deaths/births/marriages since the prior year. With so many sad stories, I thought it would be great to tell one fairly good story. We will have to check out what was given away, but I have plenty to keep me busy for a long time even without whatever she gave away.

RE: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Brian, I don't think it can be done from your Legacy program - not sure about LTools though. It will be possible using Access. BTW I would have picked this up earlier, but I have been away for a few days. I gave up looking at stuff on my tablet because this list was filled with requests for some data sheets or other, so I deleted everything. I hope never to see such inconsideration again!

Re: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Hi Brian, I've just run an experimental test on my own database to try and emulate what you're looking for, and this worked for me... Look for: individual Where: birth date How: contains What: 1965 AND Look for: individual Where: birth place How: contains What: auckland ... and this gave me a list of people in my database who were born in Auckland in 1965. I didn't specify country, I kept the search term less specific, and it has picked up people with Auckland, New Zealand as well as suburbs within the city. (It would seem that I don't have anyone born in Bishop Auckland, England, or anywhere else with Auckland in its name in that year.) Does this help?

Ah, what you describe here is quite different to your previous email, and I'd forgotten the details. The search I described won't do what you've outlined here.

RE: [LegacyUG] Need help with a search
Brian, Don't you mean death date after 1839? The problem is that this will give you those who were not born before 1839. If you tag those who have an Event place for Munzesheim then this will include those who lived there in any year, so even if you then search this list for those born before 1839 and died after that year you will hardly dent the original list, because it will include those who lived there either before or after 1839, but not in 1839. The problem resolves to the fact that you wish to search a specific event, or more than one event eg. residence and census, with a specific date which applies only to that Event. Even more problematical if there is no specific Event, would be to look for someone who was there for a prior Event, and still there at a subsequent one. I'm sorry that I am only defining the problems, rather than giving a solution, and it just may be possible to work something out using only Legacy rather than SQL, but if so I have yet to see it.

Ron, You asked, In that connection, are you saying that all other Events are there except for 'Property'. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying Also you suggested that I open the .gedcom in a text editor, which I did -- and no Property Events! Personal property yes, but not events labeled Property. Now what is even stranger to my way of thinking is that I just used my Primary file to create an Ancestor Report-- checked to be sure the property events were still in the file-- they are; created the Ancestor Report using the primary file and there are no property events in the report!! I even went back to Legacy, made sure -- well you know how,when you choose FileOpen it shows the four most recently used files? I made sure I ONLY had my primary paternal file in the list of four (the other three were maternal side files), opened the P_Side file and redid the Ancestor report and still NO Property Events (though they're right there in the file!!).

You said that you checked the files to see if the property event was there. Did you look at ViewMaster Events (or something like that - I am still not at home so cannot check) , if please take a look and let me know the outcome.

RE: [LegacyUG] What to do with genealogical files after death of compi ler
Hi Ellen, Regarding photos... please remember that the RIN# only means something if the person looking at it has YOUR Legacy file - even then the number can be changed. You also need your Legacy file, and the Legacy program, to look up the number. This applies to MRIN #'s as well. Have a look at John Zimmerman's recent posts about naming - well presented and good food for thought. I file photos by birth name - last name, given names, dates - other info such as Adams, Marjorie Alice 1896-1962 - Birth Certificate Anyone can find their way through my file without a program or an index. I also make good use of the IPTC info section embedded in digital photos for additional info. Congratulations on the work you are doing. I am the unofficial 'keeper of the tree' in my family. I have a couple boxes of poorly organized documents however, everything has been scanned and everything is kept digitally in my file and reasonably well organized. I also am aware that the DVD's that my data is stored on will one day be obsolete and the data could be lost. Most of my family is fairly interested in some of the information but not genealogy per se. My wife had a great system of filling paper documents but had over seventy 4 binders with about 1500 family members. I know my small local public library would NOT be interested in them even though we have a great genealogy section (about one half of one floor). I have close to 30,000 family members in my file, 18,000 items in my picture file, and 26,000 in my document file. How does one do a paper system for that? I would need the whole library to store my data on paper! A few years ago we had a 'family reunion' with about 20 members. My (limited, at that time) genealogy info and charts were a great hit. I had also asked most to give me a short story, or testimonial, about themselves and many responded - some at great length. I think it's time to send the request out again! Keep up the good work. Regardless of where mine ends up it is a fascinating hobby and I have been blessed by all the people I have met along the way.

Regarding photos, we have too many people of the same name so I use the RIN # in the name of the photo. Regarding genealogy files, our one side of the family has a duly elected Family Historian along with other officers for the Reunion Committee. When the last Family Historian was dying of cancer, she quietly had a relative help her to bring boxes and boxes of info to local genealogical and historical societies. She didn't like genealogy software but wanted everything in Microsoft Word using the family's old numbering system. We have corrected so many mistakes that now that numbering system is obsolete and irrelevant since it was based upon birth order, some of which were very wrong. However, she also had 17 boxes of uncomputerized, unsorted, unfiled, unorganized mess leftover. Her grandson gave it to the President of the Family Reunion Committee. I was elected the new Family Historian and have been influencing and connecting with others in the family who use Legacy. Those switching over to Legacy are amazed. My predecessor never worked with people. She felt threatened by others. However, my first step was reaching out to others and forming a committee which is working on finalizing a book after my being elected in August of 2009. I still have about 12-13 boxes to go through, but we have compiled all the prior published research into the computer, worked on LOTS and LOTS of corrections of info, run Potential Problems Reports as well, and solicited updates from everyone possible with a promise of a free print out of their grandparents on down. Next year is the 280th anniversary of our first male immigrant's arrival in the colonies, and we expect to have the book ready just 4 years after being elected. Hopefully we can have much more of the articles and things scanned and in the next book in 2020. Forty years is way to long for people to wait for a book with the last 15 years having someone in charge who doesn't even own a computer. Our Family Reunion is actually a genealogy fest. LOTS of very distant relatives have been working on research so we know no dearth of interest. We even have a few minutes of storytelling by the Family Historian as well as a report of the deaths/births/marriages since the prior year. With so many sad stories, I thought it would be great to tell one fairly good story. We will have to check out what was given away, but I have plenty to keep me busy for a long time even without whatever she gave away. God bless, Ellen On Oct 14, 2012, at

RE: [LegacyUG] What to do with genealogical files after death of compi ler
Bob, Just a quick piece of advice for those who may at some time consider creating a website - do not have spaces in your file names, use an underscore or hyphen instead, otherwise they may well not work. In fact it is best only to use alpha-numeric characters in addition to the above two.

I do not believe in paying an excessive price for an ipad, so my tablet is an Android - which I am typing this on - saved me lots of money!

I am unsure what you mean by restrictions, you can run it on more than one device without further payment and it reads/writes directly from/to your Legacy file.

RE: [LegacyUG] What to do with genealogical files after death of compi ler
Ron: could you explain why? I have always used blank spaces in filenames since Windows 95 and have never had problems with saving or opening them on websites. But maybe there are problems that I'm not aware of on other computers. For actually naming webpages, well, that's a different matter.

I have thousands of file names with spaces in them because I like the look of it better.

You also need your Legacy file, and the Legacy program, to look up the number. This applies to MRIN #'s as well. Have a look at John Zimmerman's recent posts about naming - well presented and good food for thought. I file photos by birth name - last name, given names, dates - other info such as Adams, Marjorie Alice 1896-1962 - Birth Certificate Anyone can find their way through my file without a program or an index. I also make good use of the IPTC info section embedded in digital photos for additional info. Congratulations on the work you are doing. I am the unofficial 'keeper of the tree' in my family. I have a couple boxes of poorly organized documents however, everything has been scanned and everything is kept digitally in my file and reasonably well organized. I also am aware that the DVD's that my data is stored on will one day be obsolete and the data could be lost. Most of my family is fairly interested in some of the information but not genealogy per se. My wife had a great system of filling paper documents but had over seventy 4 binders with about 1500 family members. I know my small local public library would NOT be interested in them even though we have a great genealogy section (about one half of one floor). I have close to 30,000 family members in my file, 18,000 items in my picture file, and 26,000 in my document file. How does one do a paper system for that? I would need the whole library to store my data on paper! A few years ago we had a 'family reunion' with about 20 members. My (limited, at that time) genealogy info and charts were a great hit. I had also asked most to give me a short story, or testimonial, about themselves and many responded - some at great length. I think it's time to send the request out again! Keep up the good work. Regardless of where mine ends up it is a fascinating hobby and I have been blessed by all the people I have met along the way.

Hi Ron, Thanks for this. John also showed everything connected with underscores. I appreciate the comment regarding creating a website. Time to go back and fill in the spaces. John also recommended only the hyphen, underscore and 'ampersand'. I am very inexperienced in HTML coding but I thought I had heard of problems with the ampersand, particularly in a url unless it's written as 'amp'.

Next year is the 280th anniversary of our first male immigrant's arrival in the colonies, and we expect to have the book ready just 4 years after being elected. Hopefully we can have much more of the articles and things scanned and in the next book in 2020. Forty years is way to long for people to wait for a book with the last 15 years having someone in charge who doesn't even own a computer. Our Family Reunion is actually a genealogy fest. LOTS of very distant relatives have been working on research so we know no dearth of interest. We even have a few minutes of storytelling by the Family Historian as well as a report of the deaths/births/marriages since the prior year. With so many sad stories, I thought it would be great to tell one fairly good story. We will have to check out what was given away, but I have plenty to keep me busy for a long time even without whatever she gave away.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on Ipad, how is it?
Hi MJ, I run the Families app on an iPad 2 and enjoy using it very much. I served as a beta for the app on iPhone and iPad and can vouch for the intelligent and responsive attitude of TelGen. The Families will allow you to work on your family tree on the iPad, or on an Android-based tablet. Data from your Legacy database is synced to the tablet and if changes are made to the database on that tablet they may be synced back to Legacy your computer. Photos may be displayed on the iPad and you can search on surnames or given names, RINs and by location. Display modes include individual, family, pedigree, descendant and timeline. There is a photo gallery and photos may be displayed as thumbnails or full-screen. You may also view and edit your data, including events and sources. Relationship may also be viewed. Of course if you have access to Ancestry you can sign on to their website with the browser on the iPad and search there with the iPad.
