Re: [LegacyUG] Descendants Reports
Thanks Brian Sent from Windows Mail From: Brian/Support Sent: Monday, April 21, 2014 10:20 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com The normal format only uses the first given name, that is why you are seeing Joseph married ... and Marie married ... in your reports now. Since it appears that Jean Marc and Clare Rose were the usual names these people used you can use the Legacy quoted name feature for this situation. Enter Joseph Jean Marc Jean Marc and Marie Clare Rose Clare Rose as the given names. The normal format only uses the first given name, that is why you are seeing Joseph married ... and Marie married ... in your reports now. When creating reports look on the Format tab of the Report options. There is an option to use Quoted names which will use Jean Marc and Clare Rose as the given names in those marriage sentences as well as the events for those people. There is also an option to use the full given name and to remove the quoted name from the reports so the report will use all the given names but without the portion in quotes if that is your preference.

Re: [LegacyUG] Color on Pedigree
There is a problem report recorded for that. It has been fixed and in the next update to Legacy 8 you will be able to use the second colour set or the first colour set and Legacy will use either the 4 or 8 colours depending on which you have set in Set Ancestor Colours. You will not be able to use both the first and second colours at the same time though so if you set yourself for set 1 and your wife for set 2 then create a chart for your child only one of the colour sets will be used not both.

RE: [LegacyUG] printing reports for adopted child
Hello, I’m just venturing out experimenting with printing reports and am interested in opinions as to the best way to show an adoption. I couldn’t find a clear answer to my exact question in the archives, and asked this question a few weeks ago and didn’t get a response, so will try rewriting the question again a different way: I’m sending this report to a relative in Germany so want it to be as clear as possible; my first choice would be to use the Chronology report format, but can see some advantages as well to the Family Group Record sheet, but the wording/layout in both seems confusing to me; it appears like this: I have: Situation; Female child Ottilie WM born to Carl GE and Caroline WS, adopted by Johann HM and Wilhelmine MH. On printing the Chronology report, for Johann HM, it looks like this: (location), Ottilie WM (dates), (Father: Adopted) (Mother: Adopted) daughter of Johann HM and Wilhelmina MH. . … In the Family Group Report, I can’t tell easily if which parents were the adoptive and which were biological. I see it lists same Father: Adopted, Mother: adopted on same line as Child-Par relationship. In settings, I believe I followed the instructions carefully by entering “adopted” for Ottilie under the “set” child-parent relationship links to Johann and Wilhelmine and “biological” under relationship link to Carl and Caroline. In the report options, I did check “show child-parent relationships”. I want to make it more clear WHICH are the adoptive and which are biological parents. Is the above method the is only/best way to do this? Or is there a way to add text to the “set parent child relationship” field to add a description that would show up in the family group report? Or add something to notes? Make an event? Use a different report? Something else? Or maybe it’s more clear as it is to people than I think? What do most people prefer to use in this particular situation? I welcome any suggestions as to what I’m missing/misunderstanding or a better way to do this, etc. . .thanks so much, Pam 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] Location of images in v8 - not what I expected
Bill, I agree with you. I have my multimedia collection organised (well, sort of organised) the way I want it in a series of folders and subfolders. I do not use the “Legacy Multimedia” folder. · Some of the images are genealogy related, others not. · Only a very small portion of even the genealogical images will ever be linked in Legacy. I have many photos of Grandma, but not all of them are linked to Legacy. · I have a backup strategy which backs up all of my multimedia at once, regardless of whether it is genealogical or not or whether it is linked to Legacy or not. For this reason, I find the Legacy multimedia backup very limited (and I don’t use it) because as I understand it, it only backs up those images that are linked to a person, event, or source. I want to back up all photos of Grandma, not just those linked in Legacy. My two cents…….

[LegacyUG] Vanishing Spouses?
Occasionally I go to change a spouse who has been erroneously linked with the wrong John Deaux. EACH time I do that, the right John Deaux vanishes, leaving me with the right wife and the right children, but no Daddy. When I pull up Deaux-dad, the wife isn't there, but the kiddles are all showing as 1/2s. If I close the program and re-open, it corrects itself -- until I edit any of the children, and try to go back to the parents of whom only the right wife is showing. It gets tiresome.

Re: [LegacyUG] Right-clicking
You should get the right click menu when you click on the name of the husband or wife - or anyone else on the Family view. Which version of Legacy do you have? is it completely updated? If you have v8, it should be 8.0.0.414 - if you don't have that build, please update. Another thing to try, even if you have that build, is to download the update and reinstall with the build at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/DownloadUpdate.asp.

Re: [LegacyUG] Child settings/status vs potential problems problem.
It was one of my twins. I went back to check each one by one. I could swear I checked that before I posted, but apparently not because the other ones weren't a problem. What I did is unlink each twin to the parents and unliked them as twins. Then I linked the twin back. Whatever the problem was, it worked. These were not names I ever imported either. These were names I added recently myself. Can you tell me exactly where those original options are? I found them once and I've been wanting to go back over them but I can't find them anywhere. They're probably right in front of me. I help file says The Select Potential Problem Options screen is shown when you choose Potential Problems Options from the Tools dropdown menu on the Legacy FamilySearch screen. What is the Legacy FamilySearch screen? There is Search Search FamilySearch (which is not titled Legacy FamilySearch) but that only does what it says it does. It launches FamilySearch, which makes zero sense. Why would potential problems have anything at all to do with FamilySearch? It's problems, not family. So then in help I click on Legacy FamilySearch screen and it says The Legacy FamilySearch screen is reached by clicking the Family Search button on the My Toolbars tab of the Ribbon bar. No it isn't. The My Toolbars is customizable. Fine. Maybe I removed it. So I go to customize and guess what? All I see is the same FamilySearch that is on the Search tab, not the My Toolbars tab. Now I decide I'd better launch FamilySearch since I have no other alternative, despite the fact that it makes no sense and sure enough, there are no such options. So now I think let me go back to the beginning. It mentions Tools, let's go to Tools. I go to Tools and there is nothing there. I even click on More Tools and still nothing. Can you please explain this? I don't understand why this so overly complicated. Shouldn't these settings, since they are settings meaning options, be on under Options? Like I said, it's probably very simple and right in front of me, but I just am not seeing it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vanishing Spouses?
Please take the time (even if it is tedious on dial-up and even if it requires a slow download) to update to the latest release. Perhaps access the internet at your local library or a neighbor with a fast internet and get the update on a USB drive. Many problems have been fixed. It is un-productive to try to help with a version that is out-of-date and the issues may have already been resolved by the newest release. Once you have 8.0.0.414 or later installed, ask your question again so that everyone already on that version can test and respond. Not many will be able to test your scenario with an out-dated version nor provide solutions that may already have been achieved.

Re: [LegacyUG] Right-clicking
Right click brings up a context sensitive menu. Left click on a person in the parent position opens the edit screen whether you click on the name or on the details. Why right click and then have to click on edit? Legacy 8 has less dependence on right click menus than the past.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vanishing Spouses?
Hi Cheryl, It sounds as if you are creating extra marriages. Look at the marriage icon in Family View. How many times does it say the wife has been married? I suspect you are ending up having her married to an unknown/blank with the children and then married to the right John Deaux but not had any kids with him. Sounds like the John Deaux may also have two marriages - one with the kids and no wife and one with the wife and no kids. When you add a partner to a person with children, you have to make sure you are adding them to the right family. There's a good right up on correcting incorrect links at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsRelationshipProblems.asp I think it's Problem 11 you need to read carefully for the initial problem you were trying to correct but now some of the others apply. Cathy At 12:38 AM 23/04/2014, you wrote: Occasionally I go to change a spouse who has been erroneously linked with the wrong John Deaux. EACH time I do that, the right John Deaux vanishes, leaving me with the right wife and the right children, but no Daddy. When I pull up Deaux-dad, the wife isn't there, but the kiddles are all showing as 1/2s. If I close the program and re-open, it corrects itself -- until I edit any of the children, and try to go back to the parents of whom only the right wife is showing. It gets tiresome.

Re: [LegacyUG] Child settings/status vs potential problems problem.
You can access the Potential Problems Options in several different ways. 1) Shift plus right click on a PP alert. 2) Tools Ribbon - in the Family Files Tool section on the left - Potential Problems 3) Reports Ribbon - Other Reports - Potential Problems. They'll all take you to the same place in order to choose the issues you want to be globally alerted to. To see whether an individual has been excluded from a particular potential problem. See their Individual edit screen. Exclude from Potential Problems button. If they have any exclusions this button with have an asterisk on it. Click it and you'll find a check mark in the category they've been excluded from. You can also have a symbol shown on Family View next to someone's name if they've been excluded from a Potential Problem. Options - Customise 3.12 To turn on or off the PP alerts - Options - Customise 8.11 I wonder where the help file is wrong?
