[LegacyUG] Source Writer
I entered a birth certificate through the Source Writer for myself. The birth certificate is in my own repository. However, the text for the citation in the right hand window only shows my city and not the state. I tried to add the state through over ride, but it did not appear that I could make a change here. I also checked the Repository listing. I had typed out New York (state). Could this have made a difference? Also, when I clicked the highlighted book for the Source Writer to check the citation, it was listed beside Christened rather than Birth. How can I change this back to Birth? I clicked on edit source and didn't see how this could be done. Also, Chistened is highlighted in my detail, which it should not be if this was an actual Christening listing. In addition, I'd like to print out individual reports. I found where to do this, however, when I looked at the print preview it did not include my birth certificate, only the items that I downloaded to Legacy from Ancestry via a Gedcom some time ago after I bought Legacy. (it actually showed a lot regarding my parents.) Show source using print options is checked on the source citation. Also, in the report menu under the source tab, print source citations is checked as are some of the items under this. Your advice would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Two "how do I record" questions
Tony, I don't know of any way around your first question. Why not create a residence event for him and use the school admission as the source.

RE: [LegacyUG] FTM vs Legacy
Find some that has a copy of FTM that can read this this and have them load it and then make a GEDCOM for you and also make a copy of the Media folder if a newer version of FTM is used. I have done this for many users of FTM that have needed to go to a different program for one reason or another. I do have Version 8, and the newer versions 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 installed on a couple of machines. If you were to send me a copy (off line) of this file, I will try and see if I can get this conversion done for you. Use this email address, but use a good subject, as I use a lot of junk filtering.

Most of them are for things like calculating relationships, saving clipboards and such actions. Ones with your family file name and an extension are related to your file and may contain links to records within the file.

Re: [LegacyUG] FTM vs Legacy
If the database is not real large, you may be better off just starting over again. If you import your old database you will spend almost as much time cleaning it up as you would starting over. And by starting over, as you enter each family, you can go look for sources for them and create those sources in Legacy either as a Basic source or with the Source writer. There is a lot more available records today online. You will also be able to create the events for your families as you go, mark their relationships, etc. When you GEDCOM and import, if you created custom events or facts, they may end up in your locations, spaces can be created in your notes and sources, and your locations may not all be correct. If you had research notes as well as general notes, they can all end up in one place. If you capitalized your surnames, Legacy works better if only the first letter is capitalized, you will need to search and replace your surnames. You will find other problems as well. If your database is large, then you have no choice but if it is only a few hundred, I personally would start over again. It took me over three months to clean my database up. I had a large database and so could not just start over. Hope this helps.

RE: [LegacyUG] FTM vs Legacy
Another possibility. Download free version of Roots Magic. It says it can import a Family Tree Maker 2006 or earlier file. If the free version of Roots Magic lets you export a GEDCOM, you've got it! A bonus is that you get to test drive both Roots Magic and Legacy (sorry, I know this is a Legacy list, but since I'm suggesting Roots magic as a solution, thought I'd be remiss if I didn't point this out). By the way, I have both RootsMagic and Legacy, and Legacy is by far my preferred program and the one I use as my main database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Comparing two .fdbs for changes
Using Date Modified will work if changes were only made in the Legacy program but does not pick up changes from LegacyFS or other external programs because they do not set it. It can also be dependent on each computer's date being correct at the time the Date Modified field was stamped. The "Compare Two Files for Duplicates" could also be used which will find the records that are the same in both files...tag those records in both files...then look at each file for the untagged records which will be the differences. A third alternate (more detailed) method for finding differences between 2 files is to use the merge process. 1) backup both files 2) combine both files into one database (import Legacy file) and renumber the RINs and MRINs in the second file so they are higher than the RINs and MRINs in the first file. This will allow easy identification of records from each file based on the range of the RINs and MRINs 3) execute an Intellishare Merge (assuming that both files have a common origin) and/or a Find Duplicates Merge. Allow Automerge. 4) all duplicate records in the two files will automatically merge with the lower RIN remaining and the higher RIN deleted 5) records with differences will be presented for review 6) after the merge is complete, new records in the second file will still have the higher RIN or MRIN 7) to find the new records in the first file, reverse the load order in step 2 If you really want to continue maintaining two files then return to the separate files. If the intention was to combine the files and eliminate the frustration of having the same data in two places, the merged file will be the way to go.
