[LegacyUG] Unused Surnames
I am trying to find surnames in my database that are not being used. If I don't know the maiden name of a woman, I enter her surname as [[Smith, wife of John]]. Once I find her maiden name, I update her record accordingly but I know that I may not have gone back to the Master Surname List and deleted the temporary name. I would like to clean them up now. If I run the Surname Summary list, these surnames don't show up in the list and I suspect that they might be included in No Surname. If I open the database in Access and look at tblNR, I see that there is a column for Used. I thought that those not used would have Used = 0 but this is not the case. Some of the ones that are used also have Used = 0. Can anyone provide some insight into this? Thank you!

It is to be used to organize research. I have tried the Family group report, but I can't pare it down to only the above facts. I guess I could do a series of individual reports, one for each child, but that seems a paper waste. Thanks for any hints. Tag the children of the chosen couple with an unused tag and then do a Search for Individuals with that tag number. When the Search results open in the Name List select Print and then choose the fields and the layout that you want. -- 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] Unused Surnames
Thanks, Jenny! I didn't look far enough down in the Options list to see that command. I'd still like to know why the Used flag in tblNR is 0 when the surname is in fact used. This is contrary to the Y/N bit (1=true, 0=false). -Original Message- From: Jenny M Benson [mailto:ge...@cedarbank.me.uk] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2013 5:33 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Unused Surnames On 06/01/2013 10:26, M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Blank e-mails [blocked due to bad URL]
I did think of that before, but then I expected my Vipre Antivirus program to tell me that it has found a bad e-mail, or that it has replaced suspected content with a message saying so. However, prompted by your note, I looked further. Sure enough, the Vipre history log does list the messages that had appeared with blank content! These e-mails are listed as Quarantined, and the risk is shown as Blocked URL. Inspection of the details further shows that the offending URL is http: //www. jgen. ws/ jlog/. (spaces inserted by me.) This URL is the same domain as JLB's e-mail address. I have no idea why Vipre decided to block it. Further, I am not happy that Vipre removed the entire message body, rather than just replacing the URL with a message. I'll have to look to see if there is a setting that I can tweak.

[LegacyUG] Adopted child
This is my first time facing this particular problem, so I want to get it right. How should I record this person? He appears in 1881 as Percy Turner, born abt 1876 in Fletching, Sussex. He is shown as a nephew of George Lay and Hannah nee Langridge. Hannah's parents were George Langridge and Harriet Turner, so it seems likely that Percy was the grandchild of one of Harriet's siblings. Unfortunately, I don't have any of her siblings recorded. By 1891, he is still with George and Hannah and is recorded as their adopted nephew Percy T. Lay (known as). Presumably the T is for Turner. I've searched for his baptism without success, but I appear to have his birth from FreeBMD. Even if I get his birth certificate, and find his parents, they almost certainly won't be in my database. So, should I record him as a child of George and Hannah, even knowing he isn't theirs? What is the best way to deal with this?

I usually just place him/her in the family that raised him, and in his personal notes mention he is adopted with as much info as I have.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted child
In children's settings there is a drop down screen that you can make note of this. Relationship to Father and Relationship to Mother. The down arrow gives different suggestions, one is adopted.
