RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Generated Web Pages - Pictures
Brian, You are correct. The suggestions have been made many times, but the response has been something like "we would not know where to put them". You have identified the only way of doing this through events, and not using the vital events Legacy provides. Ron Ferguson Sent from my Xperia™ smartphone "Brian L.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Generated Web Pages - Pictures
I've always considered that Legacy has done a fairly decent job in the creation of web pages. And I realize that web page generation is really a secondary consideration to any genealogical software program so I don't want to get bogged down into why Millennia doesn't immediately jump on this to get HTML problems fixed right away. Maybe the following point has been discussed before but it just occurred to me today as I was generating Pedigree Chart type of web pages. When it comes to picture options, there are not many options such as those found in Ancestor or Descendant Reports. There is merely the option to include event pictures, the individual picture, and their display and enlarged sizes. However, I have some pictures in "Birth Pictures", "Marriage Pictures", and "Death Pictures". Surprisingly, these photos are not included in the output. Apparently Legacy does not consider birth, marriage, or death to be an event. J A quick check of the other types of generated web pages such as Ancestor, Descendant, Family Group, and Individual also shows that any pictures for these events are also omitted. The "Notes" entered for any of these events ARE included but the pictures are NOT. Anyone else ever confirm this? I suppose I could force a new type of event such as "Birth" and attach a picture to that birth event but any of the detailed information entered into that event would be just duplicating something that already exists. And besides, it would look strange to see such information being listed twice for each person on any web page. Maybe a birth event with no information other than an attached picture? Seems ludicrous but as it stands, any pictures attached to the "Birth / Christening / Death Pictures" area under the Plus Sign on the Legacy Family View are falling into a black hole. Is there a better workaround that I haven't thought of?

RE: [LegacyUG] 'de' in a family name
Alan, Although not technically correct, I combine the prefix with the surname in order to prevent two surnames. De and Le are French-Norman prefixes meaning “of the,” therefore, and especially in the case of “De” these prefix’s sometimes denoted people that were landed wealthy aristocrats. Many such prefixes have been combined over the years, i.e., Devoe, Devane, etc. The prefix “Fitz” is also French-Norman originating from a Latin prefix, which means “son of.” A common surname that has been combined in FitzGerald. And there are many, many others . . . . My suggestion is to do what is understandable and comfortable to you. It is your data.

Alan Pereira From: Tim [mailto:t@tesco.net] Sent: 08 August 2013 17:13 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] 'de' in a family name Further to Jackie’s recent post on foreign names, it appears to me that le Clerke and de Dompere are full family surnames in their own right rather like van and von attached to Dutch surnames and should be listed under L and D respectively. My problem is when at some stage in medieval times, ‘de’ attached to a surname denoting place of origin of the family, is no longer used. For instance, I have numerous ‘de HATFIELD’ and ‘HATFIELD’ of the same family which appear under D and H in the name list, and which is confusing. I am thinking of changing ‘de HATFIELD’ to ‘HATFIELD, de’ so that they all appear under the letter H. Any views?

RE: [LegacyUG] 'de' in a family name
Have you considered using the Alias feature for names in Legacy? You can put the 'de' and 'le' names there. Have a great day.
