Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Questions regarding Source Type

2013-02-15 Thread Sentz
Okay, I'll run the following up the flag pole again, since no one
responded a while ago.

How should one record the following in Legacy using the Source Writer. I
was trying to understand how to classify types of documents/data and
find the appropriate source type using the What kind of source data
field.

A child received The Blessing of Little Children rather than being
Christened or baptized as an infant. The name of the child, parents,
birthdate, church and date of blessing along with the names of the
officiating ministers are recorded in a commemorative card/pamphlet that
was given to the parents. Didn't see anything that was appropriate in
the big list of source types.  Would this be a generic source?

The parents of a child received a certificate of birth from the
hospital. This is supposedly a commemorative document and not considered
the legal birth certificate from the state of residence. What type of
document would this be considered? generic or birth record at the
local/county level?

The newlyweds received a Certificate of Marriage from the officiating
minister. Again, this is not a marriage license, but a commemorative
document/pamphlet. It cites the names of those married, the location
(city  state, not the church, although the name of the church is
known), date of the ceremony, witnesses and the officiating minister. It
is not known whether the church recorded the marriage in 1945. Again, is
this considered a generic document? I did not see anything that looked
like a match in the type of source lists.

What about the little funeral service card...would this be considered a
funeral announcements, artifact-privately held? or would this also be
considered generic?

Since I am in possession of all of the above, would they be considered
part of my personal repository, or would they be assigned to the
organization the issued the document?

Other people have given you good answers to your specific questions but
I just wanted to make a more general point.  The Generic Source is
really only for use when you can't find any other template which will
suit.  It is very broad and the fields don't relate to anything too

 If there isn't a way to do the manual merge for the situation above, is
 there any other way besides tagging them and separating them from Fam

Did you definitely have the 2 different files open?  That sounds like a

RE: [LegacyUG] Questions regarding Source Type

2013-02-15 Thread Brian L. Lightfoot
I absolutely agree with them being considered as Artifacts, privately held. 
The keys words to all of these documents are commemorative and in my 
possession. Otherwise, where would any other researcher now or in the future 
go to see these documents. The answer is only to the original poster of the 
question.

And yes, I'll also be the first to admit that many people blur the lines 
between commemorative and official. I've seen many supposed birth 
certificates from researchers that are in effect only the commemorative 
certificate issued by the hospital and not the official record of birth 
recorded by the local government agency. The same applies to those marriage 
certificates that are freely handed out by ministers. But then as I grow older 
and more forgiving, I have to ask myself, what is the difference? If a person 
records one of these commemorative certificates as an official document but 
adds notes something to the effect that it was issued by the hospital, or 
minister, and is in their possession, that seems close enough for me. At least 
the dates and locations are correct and those would be a good pointer for 
looking for any official documents if so desired. Yeah, I know --- I'll take a 
lot of heat for this. So what. One has to be thick skinned to be on the LUG 
anyhow. :-)

It may also be that the screen from which the merge is to be made is not in 
focus - try clicking on that screen

Did you definitely have the 2 different files open?  That sounds like a
message you might get if you were looking at 2 views of the same file.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Questions regarding Source Type
I absolutely agree with them being considered as Artifacts, privately
held. The keys words to all of these documents are commemorative and
in my possession. Otherwise, where would any other researcher now or
in the future go to see these documents. The answer is only to the
original poster of the question.

And yes, I'll also be the first to admit that many people blur the
lines between commemorative and official. I've seen many supposed
birth certificates from researchers that are in effect only the
commemorative certificate issued by the hospital and not the official
record of birth recorded by the local government agency. The same
applies to those marriage certificates that are freely handed out by
ministers. But then as I grow older and more forgiving, I have to ask
myself, what is the difference? If a person records one of these
commemorative certificates as an official document but adds notes
something to the effect that it was issued by the hospital, or
minister, and is in their possession, that seems close enough for me.
At least the dates and locations are correct and those would be a good
pointer for looking for any official documents if so desired. Yeah, I
know --- I'll take a lot of heat for this. So what. One has to be thick
skinned to be on the LUG anyhow. :-)

  Okay, I'll run the following up the flag pole again, since no one
  responded a while ago.
  How should one record the following in Legacy using the Source
Writer.
  I was trying to understand how to classify types of documents/data
and
  find the appropriate source type using the What kind of source data
  field.
  A child received The Blessing of Little Children rather than being
  Christened or baptized as an infant. The name of the child, parents,
  birthdate, church and date of blessing along with the names of the
  officiating ministers are recorded in a commemorative card/pamphlet
  that was given to the parents. Didn't see anything that was
  appropriate in the big list of source types. Would this be a generic
source?
  The parents of a child received a certificate of birth from the
  hospital. This is supposedly a commemorative document and not
  considered the legal birth certificate from the state of residence.
  What type of document would this be considered? generic or birth
  record at the local/county level?
  The newlyweds received a Certificate of Marriage from the officiating
  minister. Again, this is not a marriage license, but a commemorative
  document/pamphlet. It cites the names of those married, the location
  (city  state, not the church, although the name of the church is
  known), date of the ceremony, witnesses and the officiating minister.
  It is not known whether the church recorded the marriage in 1945.
  Again, is this considered a generic document? I did not see anything
  that looked like a match in the type of source lists.
  What about the little funeral service card...would this be considered
  a funeral announcements, artifact-privately held? or would this also
  be considered generic?
  Since I am in possession of all of the above, would they be
considered
  part of my personal repository, or would they be assigned to the
  organization the issued the document?


Artifacts  privately held, then fill in the blanks, noting that you do
NOT have to fill in every blank

I'm afraid that is not an error message but a statement of fact.

The question is why is it not producing the result which you expect? I note 
that you say has a Find-A-Grave source, and 'Created by:' in the notes. You 
then search for an Event and not a Source and Event Notes and not Source notes.

Which should it be?

And is the Find a Grave just a notation In the Notes?   or do you
actually have an event created called Find a Grave.

If so, Try just searching for the event name to get your results and then
filter out what you dont need.

Go to your Master Source List and choose Find-A-Grave. In the sidebar
click Show List. Tag that list.

Created by: isn't necessarily Event Notes. Maybe it's some other kind of

RE: [LegacyUG] Multimedia Locations

2013-02-15 Thread Brian L. Lightfoot
Yes, I should have mentioned that there are sub-folders for each of the 4 
multimedia file locations. My understanding is that Legacy will look in all 
sub-folder of each specified location of Pictures, Sounds, Video, and 
Documents. For example, the existing specified location for pictures is 
D:\Legacy Files\Pictures. Within that actual Pictures folder, there are about 
10 sub-folders, entitled Census, Marriage, Death, Graves, etc.

When I look at an attached image to a source citation, Legacy shows only the 
filename and never the complete path, thus my reasoning that Legacy will look 
for that image in any of the sub-folders. I think what Legacy does is merely go 
to the specified multimedia location and then parse down through any 
sub-folders until it finds a matching filename that it was looking for.

Which is why you bring up the question about UNIQUE filenames. And yes, all of 
the filenames throughout are unique. Try examining any image attached to a 
source citation and Legacy appears to refer to that image only by the filename 
and not the complete path (which would include a sub-folder). I realize that 
there would be confusion galore if one sub-folder had a filename image123.jpg 
and another sub-folder had another file with the same name, image123.jpg.

So if I change my Pictures location from D:\Legacy Files\Pictures to 
something like G:\Legacy Files\Pictures, will Legacy link all images just as 
before? There will be no other changes to filenames, sub-folder names. Only the 
drive letter will be changing.  Am I good to go? Anyone? Anyone?

Brian,

It may not be as bad as you think! But, a couple of questions are all your 
images in the same folder, or are they in dfferent folders inc. sub-folders? If 
the latter do all your images have a different i.e. unique file name? If the 
images all have a unique file name there is not a problem, otherwise

OK, I know how to set the multimedia locations under the
Options/Customize menu and I'm assuming that once I point Legacy to the
new locations, all linked images should be found. What I'm getting at
is that I believe that the individual links to an image are links to a
filename only and that Legacy will look anywhere  within the location
set under options. For example, a link to a copy of a 1860 census image
that was previously found in D:\Legacy Files\Images should be once
again found in G:\Legacy Files\Images assuming the new location
pointer is set to G:\Legacy Files\Images. I shudder at the prospect
of having to manually change over
3,500 links within Legacy. Whew, it's amazing that what you think you
know becomes questionable once you start to take a risk. Somebody tell
me to take a deep breath and relax and that it will work as advertised.

Re: [LegacyUG] Questions regarding Source Type

2013-02-15 Thread hwedhlor
Brian,

I applaud your defense of commemorative records.  In my
opinion, the worth to the researcher of what are termed
commemorative certificates, should be held at least as
valuable as entries in a family Bible, or those held in
official repositories, in that they are created by
participants in the event at the time of that event.

In years when most of our research was conducted either in
person at record repositories, or via the mail communicating
with those repositories, I would have deemed such artifacts
less valuable due to the very limited access by remote
researchers to those commemorative documents.  However
today, when such documents may be easily scanned for
dissemination to other researchers, and certainly when such
scanned documents are accompanied by the written testimony
of those whose life events they document, I see no reason
why they should ever be doubted any more than, and in many
cases less than, those records reposing in official
vaults.  How often have we seen errors in official
records?  I suggest that the likelihood of errors in
documents created on-the-spot, and in the presence of
those to whom they pertain, is less than those created by
official record-keepers, who often only transcribed
records created by churches and the like.

Although we rightly place great store in recording sources
available to other researchers it is my opinion that our
goal should be the accurate determination of names, dates,
places and events, and the veracity of a record should count
more than its place of repose, or its official nature.
Certainly a marriage certificate freely handed out by
ministers was sufficient proof of marriage to those being
wed, and was certainly enough to allow them to register at a
hotel, or to prove the legality of their matrimonial bond to
others in their families or community.

Sometimes I think we demean recording what we know to be
true in favor of recording what is acceptable to remote
researchers.  The attitude that if our source isn't
official it doesn't count smacks of the tail wagging the dog.

Ironically today such commemorative documents are
insufficient evidence to establish, for example, a Social
Security Number.  The bureaucracies only acknowledge the
legality of documents issued by their fellow
bureaucracies.  The written testimony of those who performed
the delivery of a baby, or the ceremony of marriage, counts
for nothing. :-)

 I absolutely agree with them being considered as Artifacts, privately held. 
 The keys words to all of these documents are commemorative and in my 
 possession. Otherwise, where would any other researcher now or in the future 
 go to see these documents. The answer is only to the original poster of the 
 question.

 And yes, I'll also be the first to admit that many people blur the lines 
 between commemorative and official. I've seen many supposed birth 
 certificates from researchers that are in effect only the commemorative 
 certificate issued by the hospital and not the official record of birth 
 recorded by the local government agency. The same applies to those marriage 
 certificates that are freely handed out by ministers. But then as I grow 
 older and more forgiving, I have to ask myself, what is the difference? If a 
 person records one of these commemorative certificates as an official 
 document but adds notes something to the effect that it was issued by the 
 hospital, or minister, and is in their possession, that seems close enough 
 for me. At least the dates and locations are correct and those would be a 
 good pointer for looking for any official documents if so desired. Yeah, I 
 know --- I'll take a lot of heat for this. So what. One has to be thick 
 skinned to be on the LUG anyhow. :-)
