[LegacyUG] Question re: Picture Gallery
Hello, Is there a way to selectively print photos when printing out a Photo Album? I have stored some documents that I don't want printed in the albums for some people. OR is there a way to create a second album?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
If you follow the suggestions in Getting It Right by Mary H. Slawson, only the governmental jurisdictions will be included in the location field. Those are city/town, county, state and country. Including more than that, separated by commas from the city/town (street address, city, county, state or cemetery name, city, county state) makes it impossible to properly sort locations in the Master Location List and the Expand/Contract Location Parts can't correctly do its job. I would put what you're referring to in Events - using the Description field for the cemetery name, street address, etc and any other information in the Notes (grave site, etc). The Event Sentence reads: He was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery at Dillon, Beaveryhead,Montana, United States on 29 Sept 2007 or He resided at 123 Main Street from 1958 to 1996 in City, County, State Of course you can always edit the Event Sentence Definition if you don't like the order they print out on. I know we should use the Event addresses for birth, bap/chr, death, burial, marriage, etc, but since that's not as useful as the Master Event when reporting, I prefer the event. I'd love to find out if the programmers are making the event addresses more useful for reports beyond a simple list of who uses it or creating a Search List to print a report from that list. Many people are happy with their detailed address or cemetery or building name in the locations - it's up to you but not everything will work correctly if you add that, separating with commas.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
Two comments. 1. Regarding the sorting of the Master Location List, I change the sort order to sort from Right to Left, so it doesn't matter how many fields I have. 2. If I don't put the address in the location, I can't map out the different houses, in the same city, I have lived in. Or am I missing something.

Richard, Brian, Turning off the printing of the Repository would also turn it off for all sources, if I understand you correctly, Richard. Brian, which type of source are you using – Basic or SW?

[LegacyUG] Locations
Hi, Sherry Thanks for the clarification. If I understand correctly, the reasons for doing it the correct way are because a well-established book says so, Sort doesn't work properly and the Expand/contract parts won't work. The book, although I haven't read it, is probably geared mainly towards the American system and I gave up on the four field convention ages ago because it simply doesn't work in the UK and Australia where most of my events happened. Sorting right-to-left works perfectly. I simply can't imagine sorting left to right. All towns with the same name from around the world will sort together. I never use expand/contract so that doesn't matter. Your suggestion to use the description and notes fields would be good, it they weren't already jammed full of other things. Almost all my event sentences use Notes and Description for other things, leaving only the location field for the full address. That was one of the factors driving my event sentence redesign suggestion, which seems to have withered on the vine. Thanks again for the clarification, but I think I'll keep doing it the incorrect way.

Most of my ancestors are UK or AUS and I use the four part solution and I use a hyphen to the place name. I find that this works well in my location list for sorting and checking.

RE: [LegacyUG] Living persons revisited
Upon further review.. It turns out that my email correspondent was referring to a WorldConnect GEDCOM report and not one of Legacy's Book Reports on my own domain web site. I've also confirmed that Legacy seems to be correctly displaying or not displaying the Comments tab depending whether the user has checked the box or not. This particular master source was one of my old Basic sources and not SW but I don't think that makes any difference. What determines whether the comments get included on a Legacy generated report all depends on the state of the check box. OK, so now my attention was turned to my customized GEDCOM. Examining it, I see I've included two items: PAGE (Source Detail) and SOUR (Source). Admittedly I'm not quite sure of the difference between those two parameters. I then noticed something on the main GEDCOM Export window. Because I'm exporting to WorldConnect, I select GEDCOM 5.5.1 Only. I then click on Customize to load my customized .GEL file and then save the exported file as usual. But I noticed something important. By default, if the GEDCOM export to Legacy is selected, the checkbox Override Source Options --- include all Source Information is checked as one would expect. When I switch the option to export GEDCOM 5.5.1, THAT CHECKBOX REMAINED CHECKED ! Aha! That must be why I'm getting all the comment info exported to WorldConnect. My feeble brain does not remember if I ever checked that on purpose or if it remains checked by default but I can see lots of problems with it remaining checked --- just as my little problem points out. What if I had a comment about old Aunt Betsy who I said was a nasty old gossip and a terrible insert slang swear word here. Even though I had the checkbox on the comments tab of the master source to NOT print these comments in Legacy generated reports, it appears that these supposedly private comments get exported to a GEDCOM if one overlooks the fact that this seemingly un-important checkbox remains checked. OK, so the solution would seem to be to UN-CHECK the box. I did that and uploaded my new GEDCOM to WorldConnect. There is no joy in Mudville as the Comments are still exported in spite of the checkbox being cleared. So now this thread has two questions: 1. Just what does this Checkbox do? Why are comments still exported if it is cleared? 2. How do I export a GEDCOM with the Comments of a source suppressed?

I've checked each individual to which this master source applies and there is nothing about the source's address in the details. The address only appears on the Comments tab of the master source definition. The Include on Reports of the Comments tab is NOT checked but Legacy put it out there on the ancestor and descendant book types of reports as well as a pedigree report. At the bottom of the comments tab there is another check box to Exclude this Master Source from Reports but that is not what I want to do. I only want to exclude the info on the Comments tab. I would like to keep the address and email address within my records of the master source but where should it be so that it doesn't appear on reports. In the meanwhile, I'm going to run some test reports to see if this bug applies to all types of reports, or more than likely something goofy I did when I prepared the reports.

[LegacyUG] filing system for genealogy
I have been using the Legacy genealogy program for many years, but I am now struggling with how to think through scanning all of my papers to become paperless by 40 feet of papers as I prepare to move from my home to an apartment with much less room. The scanner I have purchased, an Epson GT-S50 which uses the Nuance Paper Port 11. I don't have any question about the scanner or program, but about how to organize my papers so that I will e able to find each page I scan. Yes, this is an organizational question! I am open to all suggestions to find one that will suit me best. I am 74 years young and I do struggle with electronics as I was not born with any pc genes, as my grandchildren seem to have:) If there are earlier discussion on this subject, please advise so that information is not repeated, or please e-mail me directly to: fergusresearc...@gmail.com Thanking you in advance!

Re: [LegacyUG] filing system for genealogy
Just a couple of thoughts. There are software programs that tag images with keywords and these could be used to find documents. I have all my documents scanned, though I keep paper copies also. The scanned docs are filed in directories and sub-directories. For instance: the McLean family directory; under that: each married couple in the family (unmarried adult children would stay in their parent's folder. In fact, until I have enough files, I keep the children there until I feel I'm ready to give them their own folder.) Under each couple's directory are sub directories for census, birth records, death records, photos etc, as well as a directory for text files where I summarize and theorize. A correspondence directory and a local history directory could go under the more general family directory unless there is a lot for one marriage family. So far this has worked for me. I also try to transcribe my records when I have time, and that would be the same file name with the initials TR at the end. Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but hopefully it will help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Living persons revisited
The include all sources check box has no impact on what parts of a source is included in the GEDCOM. That setting is there more for when you are only exporting part of your file. If that is not checked only the sources linked to the individuals in the export will be included. If it is checked all sources will be included, even though some may not be used by the portion of the file you are exporting. There is no way, other than editing the output GEDCOM, to remove/exclude part of a source that is going to be included. To clarify the SOUR and PAGE tags. The SOUR contains the information about the Master Source. The PAGE tag contains, as you indicated, the Source detail entered for a particular fact for a person.

It turns out that my email correspondent was referring to a WorldConnect GEDCOM report and not one of Legacy's Book Reports on my own domain web site. I've also confirmed that Legacy seems to be correctly displaying or not displaying the Comments tab depending whether the user has checked the box or not. This particular master source was one of my old Basic sources and not SW but I don't think that makes any difference. What determines whether the comments get included on a Legacy generated report all depends on the state of the check box. OK, so now my attention was turned to my customized GEDCOM. Examining it, I see I've included two items: PAGE (Source Detail) and SOUR (Source). Admittedly I'm not quite sure of the difference between those two parameters. I then noticed something on the main GEDCOM Export window. Because I'm exporting to WorldConnect, I select GEDCOM 5.5.1 Only. I then click on Customize to load my customized .GEL file and then save the exported file as usual. But I noticed something important. By default, if the GEDCOM export to Legacy is selected, the checkbox Override Source Options --- include all Source Information is checked as one would expect. When I switch the option to export GEDCOM 5.5.1, THAT CHECKBOX REMAINED CHECKED ! Aha! That must be why I'm getting all the comment info exported to WorldConnect. My feeble brain does not remember if I ever checked that on purpose or if it remains checked by default but I can see lots of problems with it remaining checked --- just as my little problem points out. What if I had a comment about old Aunt Betsy who I said was a nasty old gossip and a terrible insert slang swear word here. Even though I had the checkbox on the comments tab of the master source to NOT print these comments in Legacy generated reports, it appears that these supposedly private comments get exported to a GEDCOM if one overlooks the fact that this seemingly un-important checkbox remains checked. OK, so the solution would seem to be to UN-CHECK the box. I did that and uploaded my new GEDCOM to WorldConnect. There is no joy in Mudville as the Comments are still exported in spite of the checkbox being cleared. So now this thread has two questions: 1. Just what does this Checkbox do? Why are comments still exported if it is cleared? 2. How do I export a GEDCOM with the Comments of a source suppressed?

Re: [LegacyUG] filing system for genealogy
Geoff did a webinar on digital imaging a while back where he talked about his filing system; you might find that helpful. Look for Organizing and Sharing Digital Images dated 29 February 2012 at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/webinars.asp Dick Eastman sometimes mentions how he's gone paperless in his blog - you may be able to pick up some tips from him. Try http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2011/12/why-i-went-paperless.html Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy 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).

C.N. since a picture is worth a thousand words, I uploaded some pictures to my blog about organizing documents, you can find them here: http://foundingfamilylines.blogspot.com/search/label/jump%20drives If you have any questions, glad to help further. I find that with Legacy I keep relevant documents on a jump drive that I back up to drop box. I sort by surname, then family Have a great day!
