[LegacyUG] Creating GEDCOM for ancestry
I think.I've figured this out (to create a GEDCOM to go on ancestry "private"), however, I don't know how to suppress the dates from, say: 11 Jul 1954, Stamford, Lincolnshire to: 1954 Lincolnshire as it appears some people have. Or...do I have to go through my list and shorten the dates and places? Also, on the picture gallery, some of my images take forever to load, in fact some just keep twitching over and over and I can't do anything whilst it's happening, other than go get a cup of tea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sharing Family Tree with relatives that don't have legacy
Here is how I share my file 1. Open legacy and go to your earliest ancestor on the section you wish to mail 2. Then Click reports then all reports 3. from here click descendants 4. Configure your options ie. Index and report options and Title page 5. On the same screen click PDF File 6. Then click create 7. Save file where you can find it.. I save to desk top for easy access 8. Attach to email and send, I send a BCC to my self to insure it mailed correctly Any questions???

[LegacyUG] Organizing scans
I organise scans, downloaded images, PDF documents etc. according to the following scheme: 1. I have a D:\Genealogy directory for all my genealogy stuff, except that which has to go in C:\Legacy. This contains, among others, \Data, \Marriages and \Places sub-folders 2. Anything which relates to a family or an individual is in a folder below \Marriages and is named M hisname and hername where is the MRIN, so I might have M0123 Joseph Smith and Mary Ann Brown which contains all documentation relating to this family group, including unmarried children's details. Any file which relates to the marriage has (M0123) in the name, e.g. 1861 Census (M0123) and anything which relates to one individual has the RIN in the file name. E.g. a child's baptism certificate might be Baptism Certificate - William (I00562). If the husband is away from home on census night, his image would have both the MRIN and the RIN in the file name 1861 Census (M0123) - Joseph (I00034) When the marriage of a child is discovered, I cut and paste their files into their own Marriage folder. If, for example, two sisters are servants in a household and appear on the same census image, I give them each their own copy of the image, which follows them to their future marriages. There are numerous variations on this, but I've never found a situation which is impossible to handle. 3. Anything which relates to a place goes below the Places folder in a layered structure. So a photo of St. Mary's church in Chelmsford, Essex, England would be in a folder D:\Places\England\Essex\Chelmsford 4. Anything which relates to the family tree as a whole or to large chunks of the tree (someone's PDF file of a branch of the family covering 6 generations) goes in the Data folder. This scheme works well. I can instantly find any file, knowing the MRIN and there's no possibility of duplicate file names.

From: CE WOOD Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 11:00 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Event sentences Is there some reason why this thread is called "Event Sentences" when it is about locations? Many people who might be interested in the ongoing discussion about the xenophobic 4 place location convention will not be able to find this discussion by searching, and those who are interested in event sentences are frustrated by the laziness of the posters to change the subject!

I came across a rather strange case just recently. I had several Source documents for a relative named Pitt, including his Baptism, and also several for some of his ancestors and descendents. Trawling through Parish Registers I found the Baptisms of all his children that I knew of and a couple more besides, BUT, most of the children were baptised under the name of Dinnage, which previously I had only come across once, when one of his daughters gave her father's middle name as Dineage when she married. Taking all the evidence into consideration, I am convinced this is all one family. For convenience, I am recording *all* the children with the surname Pitt and with an AKA of Dinnage if that is the name they were baptised under. I am using the Baptism Register entry as a Source for the AKA for those baptised as Dinnage (and for the AKA of the father) and for the Name for those baptised as Pitt. I would appear that some of the Dinnage children died in infancy. I haven't yet searched for evidence of this but I know that if I find their burials were recorded in the name of Dinnage I should, strictly speaking, record Dinnage as their Surname in Legacy. However, as I said, I am chosing the convenient way of having Pitt as the main surname for everyone and will write an explanationin the General Notes for all those who only ever appeared as Dinnage or appeared under both names. -- 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] Family changed surname
Robert, Ultimately the decision is yours, after having taken into consideration all the factors which contribute towards the degree of certainty regarding the original name. These include things such as the current spelling of the name, and documentary evidence as to a previous spelling. I have many instances where in one census I have found a surname spelling different from those of other censuses, I would not regard a one-off as being sufficient evidence. In you case I would be looking for evidence of a repeated use of a variant, possibly in Sweden, and a change after arrival in England. The letter which you mention is certainly a good indication, but personally I would like to see the reinforced by independent evidence. At the moment which ever way you decide to jump requires the recording of the reasons which prompted the final decision. --- Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ GOONS #5307 "Robert Fletcher" wrote: >I have a similar problem, and since changing over to Legacy I am trying >to get my database genealogically correct.
