Re: [LegacyUG] Numbers appearing on Descendant Report

I wonder then if it has more to do with whoever uploaded the original data/gedcom to Family Search that has now been linked to the different individuals in your tree? Of course it does. The linkage with FamilySearch is a two-way process - or can be depending on how you use it. You can effectively upload your database to FamilySearch and you can take information from FamilySearch to be included in your database. When you do this, you have little control over some of the details that find their way into your database. It's like a GEDCOM import, one record at a time. This last is how your strange numbers appeared in your database. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] beginning legacy user
Hello, I am just a for fun genealogist, who has been working on tracing various family trees for my own information and enjoyment. I want a simple accurate as much as can be family history/tree. Legacy site is great because it asks different questions than Ancestry, more in depth, but if I find something I have to copy and paste to get it to legacy. Shows information off well, but asks documentation very involved. Ancestry is easier to navigate, I have never tried to get on a users group. It is easy to save information. I wory that it does not ask the involved questions Legacy does. I get frustrated reading this group as I don't understand 50% of what you are talking about. You have a tendency to discuss a subject to death. Is there a beginner Legacy User Group, for those of us not so involved in genealogy.

RE: [LegacyUG] beginning legacy user
Deanna, Firstly, welcome to LUG, I am sure that you will soon get used to us! Believe it or not we all started off like yourself, and most of us haven't forgotten what it is like. So if there is something you don't understand no matter how basic, just ask. It is, of course, always appreciated if before posting users try to find to find the answer themselves, eg. from the help files or the LUG Archives (address at the end of every email).

Re: [LegacyUG] beginning legacy user
Hi Deanna, Welcome to the LUG! :-) Like Ron said, we all started at the beginning, so don't worry that you feel like you know nothing at the moment. And don't worry about any list posts that you don't understand or seem irrelevant to you - just give it a quick read to check what it's about, then delete it. You will find as you continue reading that more posts are meaningful, as you pick up bits and pieces along the way. I've learned a lot from reading other people's querys and the answers posted to them that way. As for Legacy versus Ancestry, there's no contest in my opinion. You can only access your tree on Ancestry if you're online and logged in. Should there be a problem with your ISP preventing you from getting online, or Ancestry are having problems and you can't get to their site, you won't be able to access your family tree - for example, there's a message on Ancestry.com right now saying parts of the site will be down for maintenance shortly (1am to 3pm Thursday 3 October EDT); that might not be convenient for you. With Legacy, your computer doesn't need to be online to use it. You will also one day find information that didn't come from Ancestry, it is not the be-all and end-all of genealogy. With Legacy you have complete control over who can access information in your database that might be a little sensitive - because it will only go online when you put it there. I'm not sure that you have that much control over your Ancestry tree - other than withholding living people, I suspect you either make all of your data visible to others, or not at all. There's no one right answer here, it's a matter of you deciding what is important to you, what suits you, and what conveniences you can or can't live with. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Deanna Weymuth said the following on 3/10/2013 10:51 a.m.: Hello, I am just a for fun genealogist, who has been working on tracing various family trees for my own information and enjoyment.

We sort of tripped into genealogy as a way to prove history, and from there it was a slippery slope to whichever level we are today. I kinda liked just recording family stories without worrying about accuracy (g) because some of /best/ tales absolutely cannot be true...kind of like Forest Gump, y'know?

RE: [LegacyUG] beginning legacy user
Hello Deanna, Welcome! I’m really a new user as well, still learning, am really looking forward to SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY if offers, but yes, there is quite a huge learning curve, especially regarding how to document “sources” . Is that what you are referring to when you mention the “indepth” questions? Have you viewed any of the webinars that Legacy has available online? They’ve been a great help to me. I haven’t even yet explored some of the great options it offers. But if you are talking about the sourcing issue, remember this: I have never used Ancestry tree program, so I can’t comment on how they treat sources, but this sourcing issue is what I’ve struggled with the most in learning Legacy; If you are having difficulty with the “source” information, as Geoff has stated, you don’t have to feel like you have to “fill in all the blanks”! You can just pick “generic” source information on the source menu and just write a simple statement of your source, e.g. “xxx county/state census, 1880” rather than cite the whole page, item #, etc . If it’s only for your personal use, it doesn’t matter, it just helps to know later “where” you got the information. I’ve paid dearly in time spent re-searching information because I didn’t document where I got it from, or forgot to add important details. The sources listed on Ancestry trees are very generic, if you notice. The “extra” information is like a “cream” topping on the dessert, just adds dimension and depth to any reports someone might want to print out later on and would help someone else find where the information is, if you will be sharing your information with someone else. Later, once you figure out the “source clipboard”, you will notice that it saves you a HUGE amount of time in citing information(retyping it) for same family members and sources you use a lot for similar places. I typically don’t bother either with citing “when” I accessed the data, unless it’s a family tree online that gets edited regularly. Nor do I or click on “certain conclusion?” line either because how do you decide that? But all of those things are personal decisions. Totally optional. However that said I encourage you to check out the book “Legacy Unlocked” by Geoff, if you prefer a step by step written instruction. There are actual pictures of what each “tab” pictured on the screen means, so you can make sense of some things. Just take one topic at a time, don’t try to learn it all at once. Start with just playing around with each click down menu to see what it does. That helped me a lot. Also, the tab at the top that has the 4 sections “research guidance” is another place to start. (Maybe this would be a good suggestion to Geoff or Millenia to offer more of a step by step intro for newbies, I do think that is something that is lacking, most of the seminars do seem to be targeted more to intermediate and advanced users. And what’s offered is more difficult to follow for some types of learners. Or, label the webinars that are already there for free that are good for beginners. . .just a thought for whoever gives input to them.) I hope I haven’t been too confusing.. .does this make sense? Hope it helps. . .enjoy! The more you use it, the more you will like it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Solo parent adoption
try this - not sure if it will work the way you want though, but it appears to work for me if I had this situation On the family view with your adopted child as the selected person, click on the parents icon (4th from right under the person's brief info) In that Parents of (name) pop up, set the Relationship to Mother to Adopted, and tick the Private box against Relationship to father Then click close and run your report again fingers crossed that gives the result you want.
