RE: [LegacyUG] Event sentence redesign
Lots of luck Tony. Many months ago I suggested the addition of additional variables for the customized internet search. Specifically, the addition of City, County and State along with some spouse information. Currently only variations of the current person's name, birth date and death date are available. I haven't heard one peep from anyone since I made the suggestion.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event sentence redesign
Hi Tony and Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. I can think of quite a few other applications for your idea. For instance some census records give the place of employment (e.g. "banksman at Whitworth Colliery") so it would be useful in this way. Could it also be used where a person, for example, is appointed to a position and later resigns so we want to record those different dates? Or a person may have different positions (e.g. secretary, president etc) at different times in one organization. In addition some business people have two entries in directories - one for the business and one for the residence. At the moment I have all these examples recorded as multiple (messy) events so I like the idea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
Thanks everyone. As you may have guessed I have some disabilities and I do need something very light weight. Although i have had legacy for a few years, I don't know how to use the program so well. Than my laptop crashed 2 nights ago. Thankfully, I backed up my family tree on a thumb drive. I get so confused with all these computers. I wonder if the ULTRABOOK that I plan to buy tomorrow with Windows 8 will have enough memory/gig etc to run Legacy, my Itunes, hold all my pictures, documents. So if anyone wants to suggest a good ULTRABOOK for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I would wait to get the new IPAD, but I will be on bed rest after a surgery on November 5th and does everyone really want me to ask a million questions on how to run FAMILIES :) MJ On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Bill Wilson wrote: > I use the Families app on my IPad and iPhone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
I use the Families app on my IPad and iPhone. It works great for being able to take your family with you wherever you go. All my pictures and documents and events transfer from the PC to both devices. Everything seems to be there which is great. As a personal preference I consider my PC as the gold standard for my family data so as a personal preferenceI never transfer from my moblie devices to my PC. Also, the functions for maintaing, adding and deleting information using the Families app is seriousely lacking when you compare it to Legacy on the PC. I would definitely not recommend Families as your primary database.

RE: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
The OP needs, if I read the post correctly, a computer to run Legacy. For that, one needs a desktop / laptop /netbook / ultrabook. Legacy will not run on any tablet computer that I am aware of. It appears from a post yesterday by Paul Brodsky that Legacy runs fine on Windows 8 “full version – i.e. not RT), so it is immaterial (regarding Legacy) whether the OP gets a new computer with Win 7 or Win 8. I bet there are still lots of Win 7 computers available with no cost or low cost Win 8 upgrades. Best of both worlds – start with the known Win 7 and upgrade to Win 8 only if it proves out to be a good product. Families is a wonderful product, but it is not a full featured product like Legacy (e.g. little or no reporting). I use it on a tablet and consider it to be a great companion product to Legacy, great for carting around my data while travelling. But, if one has a nice light laptop or ultrabook, I'm not sure there is any need for an Ipad or other tablet.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
Don't walk away from the iPad so quickly. There is an app that runs on the iPad (called Families) that will allow you to transfer your data from your PC to the iPad. And vice-versa.
