[LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
A direct line ancestor, Heinrich Ladendorf, has been found listed as Henry Lander in the 1860 census. He has also been found listed as H Ladendorff (an extra F), Henry Landenderf, etc. on different sources. There are several other variations. Would you list every spelling you find, or just the ones where it is obvious they should be listed, i.e. Henry Lander or Henry Landenderf? Would you also do the same for those who are not direct line? Thanks for any direction. I'm trying to get it right this time.

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
I think every alternate name that you come across should be recorded together with the source where you came across it. These names do not have to appear in Individual and Family Group reports but for anyone following on from your research they could be very useful.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
This is really a personal preference thing but I will tell you that I record ALL akas that I find in the records. In your census example, I would record each one and I would use the specific census as the source for each AKA. That way I can easily see how his name was recorded and where it was recorded that way.

I record EXACTLY WHAT I SEE, so when recording Heinrich's 1860 Census entry I would record his name as Henry Lander (this would be part of the entry in the Desc field) and if he was head of the household I would put household of Henry Lander as part of the Source Detail. What I would almost certainly NOT do is enter any of those names in the AKA field, which I reserve for other names by which a person was actually known, not for spelling errors, typos etc. I know that if a person is named, for example, John Clark, I need to look for Clark, Clarke, Clerk - with all the variations of John - and if I cite a Source where he is referred to as Jno Clarke I think anyone can see the connection to John Clark. If John Clarke is brought up by his stepfather Mr Brown and regularly uses the name John Brown, then that is an AKA and needs to be recorded as such. -- Jenny M Benson 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
I customize the family view with AKA1 (1st alternate name) and AKA2 (2nd alternate name), then I list all the different Given names and spellings in AKA1 separating each with a space. (Heinrich Henry)I do the same for Surnames in AKA2. (Ladendorff Landenderf) That way I can easily see all the name variations used by the husband/wife on the family view. It works for me. Add sources to the Name as usual bolding the variation on the source detail.

RE: [LegacyUG] Documents in Legacy
I don’t think there is a standard Windows function for doing that. If you look at Windows file explorer, at a folder with mixed jpg and pdf files, and you have in Thumbnail view, you’ll see thumbnails of the jpg files but just a big icon for the pdf files. The only place I can remember seeing thumbnails of pdf files is in Paperport. So it is possible, but they may be using proprietary software to do it. From: robs_familytree .

What's legally right may not be logically right or even ethically right, and what's right for family may not be right for scholars or professional genealogists. It also depends on where you're thinking of recording it. In your SOURCES, you record what's on the document, period. It's a bit more complex in family-view. I tried entering people under the spelling on the document and it created trees with 4 or 5 alternate parents, made using the database unnecessarily challenging, and generally wreaked havoc. I decided life was too short. I went back to entering it so I could FIND it again. I have one surname for which I currently have 42 *documented* variant spellings. That surname gets the spelling my branch of the family has used since about 1830. I don't want to see a printed list of those variants every time I generate a report.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
I have always wondered about obvious misspellings of names from records such as the census. I transcribe records myself if an image is available because some of the transcriptions I've found online are incorrect and completely destroy the spelling of names. Should we include the misspellings as an AKA even if our interpretation differs from that of software or human transcriptions? In the case of typewritten records, it is obvious to list the name as written even if it is known to be misspelled. I always include all AKA's because it could be important in finding new records, but I am hesitant to include those that were transcribed wrong if an image clearly shows a different spelling. I have to take into consideration, especially with the census records, that many misspellings could be attributed to the census taker and/or family member could not read or write or didn't know how to spell their own name.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to tell where a source file is located?
I always place my census record images by the year of the census then the individual files are renamed by Roll number, State, Census Page Number, and name of head of household (i.e., 1920 CT T625_190 Pg 3-B Wm B Shalkop). I say renamed because some online websites use a meaningless number for a file name. My way works for me, but may not work for others so you have to create a system that works for you then stick with it. I am overly organized and also keep a spreadsheet for photos listing all file names along with who is in the picture, when it was taken, and other useful information. That's probably the extreme, but it sure helps when I need to find a file when there are thousands to go through.

At one point Diane I believe you said you chose an option in FTM to export only to GEDCOM 5.5. In Legacy when we present that option we only export a limited subset of the data for individuals. Did you also choose to include the links to your media in the GEDCOM? If there were no links to media in the FTM GEDCOM then Legacy would not know that you had media linked in the original FTM file. The message from the relinker saying there are no media files in the family file is saying that Legacy did not find any media links to any media file. It can only fix links to files which are named but where the location of the file has changed or where the user has changed the name of the file so it no longer exists under the expected name. Open the GEDCOM you exported from FTM, it is a plain text file so you can open it with Notepad or any other text editor. Use the search function to see if you can find the name of one of the files you know were attached to someone in the file. If the file name was not in the GEDCOM then you will have to go back to FTM and export a new GEDCOM. This time select the option to export for FTM itself to include the maximum information including links to the media files. Import that new GEDCOM into a new family file to see if the media links now exist.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
This is a totally different question. Ancestry.com is the worse. If the index says Joan Davis but I clearly see John Davies on the actual page, I record the name as John Davies. I don’t care what the indexer wrote. This happens all the time. On your other point, I would be careful making assumptions about how a name should be spelled, especially on census records. Yes, people were illiterate and census takers could be in a hurry. A neighbor could have been the one to provide the information. You just never know. However… I have a person in my file named Henry Pinkney McMichael. Henry is a girl. If you were to look on Ancestry.com many people have her as Henrietta because they ASSUME that must have been her real name. All of the census takers had to have been wrong, right? How about a Bible entry written by her own mother where she recorded the name as Henry. Never assume. Another example, my great grandmother was named Corrine. Or, was it Corine, Corinne, Corean? You tell me. I record it every way I see because I have no way to know how SHE spelled it (or her mother at the time of her birth).

I transcribe records myself if an image is available because some of the transcriptions I've found online are incorrect and completely destroy the spelling of names. Should we include the misspellings as an AKA even if our interpretation differs from that of software or human transcriptions? In the case of typewritten records, it is obvious to list the name as written even if it is known to be misspelled. I always include all AKA's because it could be important in finding new records, but I am hesitant to include those that were transcribed wrong if an image clearly shows a different spelling. I have to take into consideration, especially with the census records, that many misspellings could be attributed to the census taker and/or family member could not read or write or didn't know how to spell their own name.

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
If the person is indexed under the name, incorrect as it may be, how will you find them again in other places which derive their data from the original place which contains the error without having recorded that spelling error as an AKA? Yes you said you put the name as it was recorded in the source transcription but the AKA is a more visible place to see that somewhere his name was recorded with that transcription error.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
Thanks. I know about Ancestry.com. I believe they use software to transcribe most of their records which is why I don't trust their transcriptions. If no image is available with the transcription, it gets a low-star rating from me until I find something better. I guess I should have been clearer on this. I was talking about people I knew like my great aunts and uncles and those who share my last name or that I knew. I've seen Boswell spelled as BOSWENN. I know that to be wrong, but I listed it as an AKA anyway. I've only found this at Ancestry.com. In that same census record, many of the first names were wrong too and I've seen this error get transferred over to other people's trees. Johanna was listed as Josephine. This one is typed so it had to be listed in my AKA's. This could have been converted from handwritten to typewritten after the census was taken and transcribed wrong at that time. I can't imagine the census taker had a typewriter with him/her at the time.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
I’m wondering if all those that responded saying that they record every AKA along with the source where they found it really mean that they record every common variation of a name. What I mean specifically if someone’s given name was Robert, do they record an instance of Bob, and Bobbie, and Rob, and Robbie. If the name was Franklin, do they record Frank and Frankie? So far I’ve tended to ignore these common variations as additional AKAs and have only recorded the unusual ones such as “Stretch”, “Slim”, “Bones”, etc. It just seems to me that if you record each and every instance of a spelling variation that you find, you end up with a family file that is grossly inflated in sheer numbers. I guess what I’m getting at is there has to be a little common sense applied here.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
That is true about an inflated family file and all those variations. For abbreviations like Robt (Robert) and Jno (John), I normally spell them out since they're obvious. Something like Hattie (I have a lot of Hattie's) or Fannie I have to assume are nicknames so I have to list them. Sometimes the records show different spellings of the name or the middle name is used for a first name. I had this with one ancestor and discovered that because he used his middle name (Mathew) as a first name and his first name (Ignatius) as his middle, his wife had a problem receiving his pension money because they thought it was a different person. In that case, I listed his name switch because he did this often in the records. Bill Boswell From: Brian L.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Hi Brian, I opened the GEDCOM file in Word - all 3198 pages of it. I searched for a few names of images I have in my FTM Tree and it found none. I then searched for the term “jpg” (without the quotes) and it only found instances where the term jpg came up in notes I had made. The main problem seems to be that FTM does not give me the option of including media files, or it now seems even links, when I export to GEDCOM5.5. The dialog box shows that I have three choices under “Output format”, namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”. Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely: ·Privatize living people ·Include private facts ·Include private notes ·Include media files ·Include tasks ·Include charts, reports, and books ·Include only items linked to selected individuals When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out INCLUDING “include media files”. It appears that the links do not show in the GEDCOM file either so I can see that Legacy doesn’t know I had links in the original FTM file. Surely Legacy must get new users who were using FTM before. Do all of these new users have to abandon Legacy 8 or manually link every image? I don’t have the time or interest in spending days if not months doing this as I have over 2300 images. I realize the problem stems with FTM but I was hoping that a solution existed. Thanks for your attempts to help!!

It can only fix links to files which are named but where the location of the file has changed or where the user has changed the name of the file so it no longer exists under the expected name. Open the GEDCOM you exported from FTM, it is a plain text file so you can open it with Notepad or any other text editor. Use the search function to see if you can find the name of one of the files you know were attached to someone in the file. If the file name was not in the GEDCOM then you will have to go back to FTM and export a new GEDCOM. This time select the option to export for FTM itself to include the maximum information including links to the media files. Import that new GEDCOM into a new family file to see if the media links now exist.

Yes you said you put the name as it was recorded in the source transcription but the AKA is a more visible place to see that somewhere his name was recorded with that transcription error. It may be more visible there, but in my view it implies that the person WAS KNOWN by that different version of the name, which is not so. I have one instance in my database where a whole family was listed in the Census with the wrong surname. (Probably an error of the Enumerator made when copying from the original forms to the books which we see.) It would cause no end of confusion if I implied that the Ashworths were also known as the Birtwistles. On the other hand, I have a family where the father and several children were known for some years as Dinnage rather than Pitt and so they have Dinnage recorded as an AKA. -- Jenny M Benson 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).

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
And without a correction to the transcription (which Ancestry _NEVER_ do) how is someone else going to find the record? Probably the same way everybody else finds it--spelling the name correctly. That's how I found most of the records with misspelled names. In a few cases, I didn't find the record and only found it by accident when looking for somebody else. If the sources are cited properly, someone should be able to find the record again. Just because an online indexer couldn't spell or was in a hurry, why should we list it wrong if an image clearly shows the correct spelling or a spelling variation?

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
I cannot create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination - The dialog box shows that I have three exporting choices under “Output format”, namely “Family Tree Maker” – “GEDCOM 5.5 (standard)” and “GEDCOM for FTM 16”. Below this there are boxes next to 7 items, namely: • Privatize living people • Include private facts • Include private notes • Include media files • Include tasks • Include charts, reports, and books • Include only items linked to selected individuals When I choose “GEDCOM 5.5(standard)” the last 4 in the list are greyed out INCLUDING “include media files”. This also happens if I choose GEDCOM for FTM 16. I opened the GEDCOM for FTM 16 in Word and searched for some know media images as well as for the term 'jpg' and got nothing. So the links are not included in this GEDCOM either I'm afraid.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
All I know is the media links from FTM to Legacy worked using FTM 2014 to export a GEDCOM so Diane might have to upgrade or try the instructions I gave in another post. I noticed in my test that I had to choose FTM 16. It might work choosing one of the other FTM versions, but I didn't try. If exporting to just a GEDCOM only, the media links don't transfer over.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Maybe FTM 2009 doesn't have the capability to export links in a GEDCOM. All I know is the current version of FTM will do it if the links in your FTM data file are actually linked. You have to select your destination as FTM after selecting GEDCOM 5.5 otherwise it won't work. I selected FTM 16 and it worked. You might have to upgrade to the latest FTM version, but prior to doing so I would make sure your images in FTM are actually linked to people. There's no sense spending money on an upgrade if it doesn't work either because nothing is linked. I opened the GEDCOM I exported from FTM using Wordpad then searched for .jpg.

Lightfoot [mailto:br...@the-lightfoots.com] Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2014 12:45 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs I’m wondering if all those that responded saying that they record every AKA along with the source where they found it really mean that they record every common variation of a name. What I mean specifically if someone’s given name was Robert, do they record an instance of Bob, and Bobbie, and Rob, and Robbie. If the name was Franklin, do they record Frank and Frankie? So far I’ve tended to ignore these common variations as additional AKAs and have only recorded the unusual ones such as “Stretch”, “Slim”, “Bones”, etc. It just seems to me that if you record each and every instance of a spelling variation that you find, you end up with a family file that is grossly inflated in sheer numbers. I guess what I’m getting at is there has to be a little common sense applied here. For example, if you do a search for someone named Robert on FamilySeach, it will automatically include all those common variations to include Rob, Bob, etc. Brian in CA 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).

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages
Marriage Tags and Individual Tags are separate. Unfortunately, there is not yet an advanced tagging function for the Marriage Tags. They can only be turned on/off one at a time. Best I can think of is to use advanced tagging to tag your direct ancestors (exclude siblings, etc, and limit to the desired number of generations. You can then create a search list based on that tag and perhaps limit the search list to just the males. Then you could go through that search list to set the marriage tags. -Original Message- From: Bernd Hornung [mailto:ber@telus.net] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 3:43 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages I would like to tag all direct ancestor marriages to tagged 8th and 9th generation grandparents.

She's using the 2009 version. I just installed it to test and she is right. There are no options for exporting to a GEDCOM that will include the links to her image files.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to tell where a source file is located?
Dave, The text file of missing media given to you by the Media Relinker or by clicking Test all Media Folders button at Options Customise 6.2 and then checking Make a list of all missing media includes the path of the missing media as well as the name. You need to keep checking that - though it may be time to rethink how you file your media and then let the Media Relinker find the file.

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting
Jenny: 1. As I mentioned when I started my family tree I didn't source my documents (I never in a million years thought it would get as big as it is, and did not understand why it was so important). I'm now trying to redo my tree, but this time sourcing each documents (I do have copies of every document, and written on the back the day I accessed it, etc.). My method of splitting is taking me WAY too long to redo. I'm thinking lumping will save me a huge amount of time. Can I ask you (and any other lumpers). *I* transcribe the complete document and copy to the Master Text. I then copy pertinent parts of the Master Text to the Detail Text depending on what I want to prove. (VERY time consuming, but I liked that if forced me to analyze the document). *You* transcribe the complete document, but instead of having it in the Master text you have the complete transcription in the Detail text. Is that right? Everyone using that Source has the complete transcription. 2. Comparing your method to Shared Events, your method seems more exact (and transferable by GEDCOM) is the only plus of Shared Events that it would be faster?

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting
David: Thank you very much for the explanation. That really helped make it clearer for me. I'm now teetering on switching over to lumping and using shared events (from splitting and creating separate events). As I'm playing catch-up I think using the shared events will help me in the time required (much faster to click a few boxes, instead of creating separate events and sourcing them). Although I prefer like Jenny's method, I think I need to focus on completing the project in a timely manner, and once everything has been re-input and properly sourced I can go back and create separate events for key people. Thanks (I'm mostly talking out loud I guess). Leo From: davidnew...@drdavid.plus.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:52:37 + I think that one advantage of shared events comes from the fact that you only have one copy of each piece of citation data. As far as I can tell the Legacy database is not normalized in the sense that it is easily possible to take, for example, a citation and copy rather than link it into several places. At this point the citations become independent so that a correction made to one is not automatically made to the other copies. In my opinion there should be two possibilities once you have a citation on the clip board - copy or link. So if you intend to use the citation as the basis for a new citation you copy but if you want to re-use the same citation exactly then you link. The linking mechanism to some extent already exists since media is generally linked without making multiple copies.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible bug with FS Numbers/ID

I also have the FS Number added after the Burial line as an option on my display which makes it easier to relate to FS itself. In Legacy, when I generate a pedigree webpage through the Internet tab, with FS numbers selected to be included, I also get the FS numbers added to the name in the family view on Legacy. So for example instead of having a family view name display of Bryan Pratt [1] (as checked in options), I get a display of Bryan Pratt [1] [XWYZ-123] plus I still have the same FS ID underneath the burial line - well not quite for me yet!. The only way I can get rid of the excessive numbering is to regenerate my internet pedigree page with FS ID (under What tab) unchecked. However that numbering is too overwhelming both on my Legacy and on the internet. But on the internet pedigree view it also provides the FS number as a bullet point immediately following life event details and in a much more presentable place. That would be much more acceptable. Any thoughts or should I refer this through as a bug?

RE: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting
Hi Leo, I'm not Jenny and haven't read the whole thread - but if you can put the transcription in the Master Source text, then you are almost an extreme splitter. For example: I have a Census source for each year for each country. (most of my research is in the UK) But even if I had one for each county in the US for each year, I'd hardly transcribe the whole census for the county and put it in the Master Source Text. ;-) I rarely use the Master Source Text. I used to for certificates when I had very few certificates and I saw each one as a separate source - but now I have a Master Source for certificates from a particular Registry Office and the transcription again goes into the source detail text. So the only sources with Master Source text or images are those for unique items - like a particular Family Bible. Cathy At 07:41 AM 10/01/2014, you wrote: Jenny: 1.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8
Thanks everyone for doing your best to help me. Bill Boswell has confirmed for me that my only choice, if I want to save months of work, is to upgrade to FTM2014. So I shall do that.

[LegacyUG] Two Sets of Parents in Legacy Chart
I have a case where two children, Ann and Mark lost both parents in an accident. Both were adopted by their mother’s sister. The children are shown biologicaly with their birth parents, and I also show them as adopted by their aunt and uncle. This is easily explained in notes. BUT, in Legacy Charting both children appear twice under two sets of parents. How can I correct this?

Thank you, Brian, our intrepid support person. Bryan Sent from Windows Mail From: Brian/Support Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 12:51 PM To: Legacy Confirmed. Problem report raised to have this fixed. To reset the display you just need to close and restart Legacy that is a lot easier than generating new web pages without FSID. It will occur if you create any sort of report with FS ID included.

But it does. I was able to reproduce it. Definitely a bug. I was able to temporarily turn the FSID off using 8.2, but when I tried to re-enable the RIN, the FSID came back on also. Had to first run Pedigree Web Pages without FSID. Then could get 8.2 FSID off and RINs on. Have you tried with any of the other Web Page Styles (Ancestor, Family, Descendant, Individual) to see if the same thing happens? From: Bryan Pratt [mailto:brya...@slingshot.co.nz] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 9:03 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Possible bug with FS Numbers/ID In Legacy8 I use family view for display with RIN’s as an extra ID attached to the name, (i.e. 8.2 on Customize has the text boxes checked, plus RIN’s checked). I also have the FS Number added after the Burial line as an option on my display which makes it easier to relate to FS itself. In Legacy, when I generate a pedigree webpage through the Internet tab, with FS numbers selected to be included, I also get the FS numbers added to the name in the family view on Legacy. So for example instead of having a family view name display of Bryan Pratt [1] (as checked in options), I get a display of Bryan Pratt [1] [XWYZ-123] plus I still have the same FS ID underneath the burial line - well not quite for me yet!. The only way I can get rid of the excessive numbering is to regenerate my internet pedigree page with FS ID (under What tab) unchecked. However that numbering is too overwhelming both on my Legacy and on the internet. But on the internet pedigree view it also provides the FS number as a bullet point immediately following life event details and in a much more presentable place. That would be much more acceptable. Any thoughts or should I refer this through as a bug?

Re: [LegacyUG] Prompt for detail
Isn't it prompting you to double check that any notes or comments that need to be added have been added? For example, I copy Jane's baptism register source, and paste it to her father's occupation event, prompted for detail I add in Text/Comments Citation for daughter Jane's baptism, gives evidence of father's occupation Or, Copy Fred's burial register source, paste to Fred's birth event, prompted for detail I add in Text/Comments Citation for burial, register lists age thus implying approx year of birth On 10 January 2014 01:21, Jenny M Benson ge...@cedarbank.me.uk wrote: In Legacy 8 I have just set Option 7.4 to Default of Off, as I had it in Legacy 7.5, because it was really annoying me that the Detail Screen kept popping up until I remembered that I could switch it off. But it occurred to me that the prompt, when set to On, occurs too late. The sequence is: 1 Enter Source Details. 2 Copy Source to Clipboard. 3 Paste Source Clipboard. 4 The Source Detail screen appears with a ticked checkbox for Prompt for detail. If you don't want to set the default of Off, but want to be able to choose sometimes to be prompted, you want to be prompted at the time of Copying to the Clipboard. If you could choose at that point, you could UNtick the box then happily roam around your family file going Paste, Paste, Paste without interruption. Very often I am only going to paste that Source once so presenting me with the Source Detail when I've already Pasted and then saying do you want to be prompted for this? is just silly! -- Jenny M Benson 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).

Unfortunately, there is not yet an advanced tagging function for the Marriage Tags. They can only be turned on/off one at a time. Best I can think of is to use advanced tagging to tag your direct ancestors (exclude siblings, etc, and limit to the desired number of generations. You can then create a search list based on that tag and perhaps limit the search list to just the males. Then you could go through that search list to set the marriage tags. -Original Message- From: Bernd Hornung [mailto:ber@telus.net] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 3:43 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages I would like to tag all direct ancestor marriages to tagged 8th and 9th generation grandparents.

[LegacyUG] Timeline locations
How do I control where Legacy looks for timelines? I don't see it under CUSTOMIZATION. I just discovered that Legacy version 8 on my desktop is looking for the timelines in the old version 7 folder. Not a major problem until I eventually delete the version 7 folders. How to I tell version 8 to look in the version 8 timeline folder? The laptop (that never had version 7) can not find the timelines in my family file because I did not copy the version 7 folders over to the laptop. I'm guessing I can copy my unique version 7 timeline files from my desktop to my version 8 timeline folder on my laptop (and to the version 8 folder on my desktop). But my family database is looking for them under the version 7 folder. How do I change this? The Help file says timelines are located at: [My Documents]\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Timeslines\[Language]. But this is not the case for me. Ah - I just found them under: C:\winprog\Legacy8\_AppData\Timelines But I still don't see a way to tell the program where to look. I should mention that I installed Legacy 8 at C:\winprog\Legacy8 And legacy 7 program is installed at: C:\winprog\Legacy Bob 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).
