[LegacyUG] duplicate spouses
I've merged several small files together. Not that much overlap. Like almost none. All the MRINs are/were as I want them. After running LTools to put the MRINs into the UserID fields, I noticed (and this may have nothing to do with LTools) that many of the people in the database have two versions of the same spouse. Not duplicate people but just two listings of the same spouse in the Spouse list. And each one has a different MRIN; the original and another one. I'm going through the names un-linking one spouse but I have no way of knowing which MRIN I'm deleting so this is getting treacherous. And it's messy. I'm just saying. Has anyone heard of a similar problem? And is there an easy fix for it? Oh, and I also noticed this problem after running File Maintenance thinking that might help the database overall.

Tag your Search list with an unused tag, say 8 for example. Create a Focus Group comprising Direct Line Ancestors and tag that group with, say tag 9 for example.

I created a new Master Source through the Source Writer by selecting Birth Records and selecting Birth Certificate and followed the procedure for step 1 and then for step 2. Under repository, I selected myself, since I have an original of my birth certificate. However, the displayed citation in the Preview Output for the footnote and the bibliography only includes my city, not the state. I checked my repository listing and it doesn't seem to matter if New York is spelled out or abbreviated, either way it does not show in the citation examples in the Output Preview. I did not see how one could change the footnote and bibliography text when I went into over ride. What is going on here? [When I was born, I am pretty sure that the birth certificates were generated by the county rather than the state. I would like to create a general source in the master source list for California Birth certificates and not include the county of origin. I plan to get other birth certificates for my parents, etc. who were born in different counties. The question is whether one has to make a separate source in the master source list for each county of origin for the documents or would it be better to just name the source California Birth Certificates and do the birth certificates at the state level in the master source list? The county could be referenced in the source detail. The certificates are paper. ] Next, when I went to the source detail and finished entering everything, I went back to check the

As the relationships are currently calculated, this person is not an ancestor of the person to whom the relationships are calculated. Without knowing exactly who the person is that you're looking at (and not having seen v6 for a long time now), I'll hazard a guess at possible solutions: 1) It might be that choosing a different person as the start will produce a line of ancestry that includes this person - perhaps a child of the person who is currently the starting person? 2) Do you have this person linked to the right people in order to be showing as an ancestor of your starting person?

This box is blank for every record in my file of hundreds of entries, including myself. Since each entry shows its relationship to me, from father to 3rd great grandfather, it would seem as though I'm linked correctly; or am I missing something, an obscure setting or something? Perhaps if I knew how to change the starting person or at least check to see who it is, that may solve the problemany hints? -Original Message- From: Wendy Howard [mailto:wendy.how...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2013 11:55 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Not in current ancestor line Brian is correct, however there is another way to look at it... As the relationships are currently calculated, this person is not an ancestor of the person to whom the relationships are calculated. Without knowing exactly who the person is that you're looking at (and not having seen v6 for a long time now), I'll hazard a guess at possible solutions: 1) It might be that choosing a different person as the start will produce a line of ancestry that includes this person - perhaps a child of the person who is currently the starting person? 2) Do you have this person linked to the right people in order to be showing as an ancestor of your starting person? Perhaps there is more work to be done in your file? Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Brian/Support said the following on 10/02/2013 5:19 p.m.: > You cannot adjust it.
