Re: [LegacyUG] Abbreviated descendant report

[Paula Ryburn]

Emily,
This sounds a lot like the Lineage Report.  But as it is currently programmed 
in Legacy, you can start with one person (male or female), and the report goes 
back through just the males to the oldest ancestor you have in your database on 
that male line.

I have submitted a suggestion to combine the logic in the Lineage Report with 
the logic used in the Relationship Calculator to provide us with a tool that 
could do exactly what you are asking, regardless of whether the beginning, 
ending or any individual in between is male or female.  For example, one side 
of the Relationship Calculator screen traces ancestry from the selected person 
(male or female) back to the common ancestor (male or female), going through 
males & females to get there.  If they used that logic to find the records, and 
then the Lineage Report format, that would give you what you (and I) want. ;)

I don't know if this report will be in v8 or not.  I submitted it back before 
they were giving good indications of what would be done based on a suggestion.

The best way to limit who is shown on many of the reports is to somehow 
select/tag who you want and then export them into another Legacy db, and run 
the report there.  (as others here have described in great detail)  Good luck!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Abbreviated descendant report



What would be the best way of producing a descendant report that included only 
the descendants and the siblings of those descendants on a particular line from 
a progenitor ancestor to a particular descendant? 
 
Is there a way to limit a descendant report to tagged individuals?
 
Also, I see an option in Picture Scrapbook to include only tagged media files, 
but I am not sure how to tag media files.   I do not see a way to do so either 
from Picture Center or from the Media Gallery or from the Edit Picture screen.
 
Thanks,

[LegacyUG] Solo parent adoption

[Tony Rolfe]

Perhaps someone should put forward an enhancement request.

On the right-click context menu for an individual, under the "Add..."
option, offer choices of "an adopted son" an "an adopted daughter".

This would work exactly as "a son" or "a daughter".  However, since
Legacy is now aware of the non-biological nature of the relationship
there would be no need for a "marriage" or a "spouse".  If these are
needed internally for Legacy's database to function then so be it, but
there is no need for this pseudo-relationship ever to be visible outside
Legacy's internals.

Tony

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do Item Printouts

[Paula Ryburn]

Wow, I hadn't noticed that you cannot print a single to-do item without having 
to go through tagging & filtering.  What a bother.

Sounds like a suggestion to the programmers might be to allow a Print option 
when you have the single General to-do item open.  (or any single to-do item)

Try creating an “adopting father” record, perhaps with just a given name of 
“none”, then setting the Privacy Level on that record to “Invisible”.  It will 
show on your screen, but shouldn’t show on any reports.



This seems to work for all (Individual, Family, Lineage, Pedigree & Ancestor 
reports) except the Descendant Report.  On that report, it not only suppresses 
the Invisible parent record, but also the descendant child/children.  For that 
report, you have to select the include invisible records and then you’ll get:

Parent

+ None

Child



Which is perhaps better than the + Unknown that you would otherwise get.



Actually, all those other reports work fine with a blank / no record and the 
“just leave blank” option set under customize.  I’d say this is a glitch in the 
Descendants report not recognizing and properly handling that option.

Whilst what you say is true, I suspect that Sue is asking a different question.

Initially she says "a solo mother" there is an implication here that this was 
the situation at the time of the adoption.

If that was the case then the addition of an unknown male partner to Sue would 
be incorrect.

If, Sue, that is the case, please do let us know so that we are aware of the

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do Item Printouts

[Kathy Thompson]

For my To-Do items not linked to an individual, they are usually an item
that relates to many different people (such as locating old paper newspaper
clippings and obtaining clear images and correct sources for them) or are a
book or document that I need to check out to see if it has anything of use
in it or not.

Identifying them in the list is easy enough, the Task Name does that.
I do also Tag my General items, but I often have more than one tagged open
General to-do item and I really don't need (or even want) all of them
printed out at once.

It's possible to print out a single person-linked task just by going to
that person and then printing and if needed filtering from there, but there
doesn't seem to be the same way to do that for General items

Brian,

Thank you for your comments. I follow what you are saying and tend to agree.
However, I have to go out for the day very shortly, so it will be tomorrow

Off hand, I think it will be easier to use screen shots, so will probably
follow this up using another method.

Since the spouse does not exist there should be no way to set them to

did it? I also do not know what you are referring to re the affects of
adopted children of the real person. Please start a new thread with an

Ron,

Since the spouse does not exist there should be no way to set them to
private nor invisible. If you were able to do so please tell me how you
did it? I also do not know what you are referring to re the affects of
adopted children of the real person. Please start a new thread with an
explanation of what you did to test this. As I also reported, we have a
problem report in the system that the descendant chart should be leaving
the name of the non-existent spouse blank instead of using "unknown".

Sue,

Interestingly, it seems to work for me in Legacy Charting - if it doesn't
for you, Sue, please let me know and let's see if we can sort it out.

BTW sorry about the spelling errors in  my last post, I knew they were there
but left them to the spell checker which didn't work!

Sue, Brian,

I have been unable to get rid of the unwanted partner from with Legacy, and,
Brian, in my view there are problems with both the Privacy and Invisible
options when a child is linked by adoption to a single person. In
particular, I contend that when the "Unknown" Legacy introduced,
non-existant partner is set to invisible then this should not affect the
adopted children of the real person.

Sue, the only way I can suggest is to save as text and open in, say,
Notepad++, Word, OpenOffice Writer, or similar and delete the fictitious
spouse. Alternative if you have a PDF editor you could save in that format
and delete.

It should be possible to do in Legacy when the bigs get sorted out.

Sue,

Sherry has given below details as to how marriage wording can be changed,
and this provides the answer to your problem. I used the sample file to test
and added a child, John Doe, to Ruth Brown, and tested using the Descendant
Report. The full procedure I used is as below.

1. Add an unlinked individual, name John Doe b. abt 1820
2. Click on the box above him to add a mother, select "link to an existing
person" and choose Ruth Brown, RIN 121.
3. Right click on John Doe and under Children's Settings set "Relationship
to Mother" as adopted
4. Click Marriage Information and under the General Tab check "this couple
did not marry" and change Ruth's married name back to "Brown"
5. Under the Wording Options tab change Family View labels to "Male" and
"Female" - not particularly important and btw. I think that there is a bug
here as my label for Ruth shows "Sister".
6. Now for a spot of lateral thinking ! Under the first line "Report phrases
for first marriage or partnership" -"Ruth" in the box delete all the stuff
about had a relationship etc. and replace with "adopted a child". Save
7. Print a Descendant report which instead of the stuff about marriage now
