RE: [LegacyUG] Copying names from Legacy Docs folder

2013-09-23 Thread Brian L. Lightfoot
The COPY AS PATH command was added to Windows way back under Windows Vista. 
What's laughable is all the people who think they had to download and install 
some other program to do something that was already there as part of Windows. 
It can even be added into Windows XP if desired.

I'm afraid that Sherry will be breaking in soon and say we should end this 
thread because we're talking Windows functionality here and not specifically 
Legacy. Before that happens, let me add that if you are still unsure about how 
the COPY AS PATH function works, here is a good web site that explains it:

Gene, it seems to do what she requested (...copy the list of docs contained in 
that folder by going to Editselect all...). If you select folder names, then 
you get folder names. If you select file names, you get the file names. (In 
either case, you get the full paths, which can be quickly edited away in Word 
if desired.) You're right that it does not give you all file names in a 
multilevel folder hierarchy. -- Ward

All that copies is the path, ie; C:\Users\Gene.Eugene-PC\Documents\My
Genealogy\CENSUS\Census Images-US

That does nothing to obtain the file names in the folder.

There are a number of ways to do this. I have used both Dropbox and Google Drive, storing all my data files and multimedia in one or the other. The two problems I have encountered is making sure the files are synced to the cloud before I turn off the system, and the amount of space available. A basic free Dropbox account is only 2gb which is not large enough for all my files. Others use Sugarsync andsimilarprograms.Richard-Original Message-

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Standard Edition

2013-09-23 Thread Mary Fowler Leek
This is how I would do it …



Go to the Legacy website and download the installation file to each computer, 
then run it to install.



If this isn’t practical, download the file to one computer, copy the install 
file to a CD or flash drive, then go to each computer and install it from the 
downloaded file.



I’m not certain what you mean by having the information identical on each 
computer. Are you referring to the program or to genealogical data?



If the data, copy the same data file to each of the installed Legacy programs 
by placing it in the Data folder inside the Legacy folder and then open Legacy, 
go to fileopen family file, highlight your data file and click open.



If data is yet to be entered, if it were me, I’d enter the data on the master 
computer, then copy the data file to the other computers on a regular basis to 
maintain consistency. Maintain the same file name and just add a new date to 
the end of the data file name each time you update the secondary computers so 
you know what file is always in use and can see they are consistent among all 
the computers.



I ‘think’ Legacy v7.5 defaults to the root of C: so you would look for the 
program on the root of the local hard drive, unless you elect to install it 
under C: program files (x86)



If you have more questions, just ask. There are lots of knowledgeable people 
here willing to offer suggestions.

The only caveat is that you can’t use/update the Legacy file simultaneously – 
for example, assume you have Legacy and  Dropbox installed on your 2 computers 
and laptop;  you could open Legacy on one system, update records, then close 
Legacy– when the file is closed Dropbox copies the updated file to the other 
two systems.  You could then go to either of the other systems and open Legacy 
which will have the latest copy of the data.



Another way is to keep the data on a movable disk – such as a memory stick 
(Flash Drive).  I think Dropbox is the better solution.

Re: FW: [LegacyUG] print other spouse also in Descendants book

2013-09-23 Thread Brian/Support
What you want is not possible in Legacy without distorting the
biological links. Those children are not biological descendants of the
starting person so they cannot be included in a Descendant Report for
him/her.

You could link those children of the other spouse to the person who is a
direct descendant and then they will appear but with your explanation I
am not sure which family they should be linked to as children. Once
they are linked to the descendant person you can change the parent child
relationship (is the descendant a step parent? did they adopt the
children?) to clarify why they are children.

[LegacyUG] Census Events-Marriage or Head of Houdehold

2013-09-23 Thread Tony Rolfe
Hello, Shirley

I'm not sure of any pros and cons.  I think it is best to go with what
suits you best.  Personally, I think a census event belongs with the
individual since, in many cases, the person of interest may be unmarried
and away from home.  Maybe a domestic servant or sailor on board ship
somewhere.

I add a census event to each family member listed in the household, this
usually excludes servants, boarders and visitors.  If the person in my
tree is boarding or visiting someone not in my tree, then they get an
event all to themselves.

I use the description for age, marital status and occupation, the date
for the census date and the place for the residence address.  Notes
follow on from the description and usually contain other relevant
information.

A typical sentence might read:

On 2 Apr 1911 George appeared on the census at 21 High Street, Writtle,
Essex as a 25-year-old unmarried farm labourer who was boarding in the
home of Fred Smith, also a farm labourer.

I save the event on the event clipboard and usually only have to modify
the description (sometimes the notes) for each family member.  I don't
list everyone in the household by name for each event.  For the mother,
I do occasionally add the number of children in the notes; particularly
when this is the first census after the marriage.

This works for me.  Your mileage may vary.

for example, assume you have Legacy and  Dropbox installed on your 2 computers 
and laptop;  you could open Legacy on one system, update records, then close 
Legacy– when the file is closed Dropbox copies the updated file to the other 
two systems.  You could then go to either of the other systems and open Legacy 
which will have the latest copy of the data.



Another way is to keep the data on a movable disk – such as a memory stick 
(Flash Drive).  I think Dropbox is the better solution.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy Standard Edition



Monday September 23, 2013

I'd like use Legacy Standard Edition on two computers and one laptop. I need 
the information entered to be identical on each of them. Does anyone know how 
to have Legacy on more than one computer?



Thank you,

Why not just copy/paste the .fdb file to the flash drive? Seems to me
to be the simplest way
