RE: [LegacyUG] Any Way to Make a Family File Read-Only?

Has anyone tried burning the fdb file to a cd rom and seeing if it can be 
opened by Legacy?

The semantics of Windows' READONLY bit on files is not the same as Linux' 
Immutable attribute (immutability on Linux requires 'root' to set/unset) -- i 
don't know if there's a true equivalent.   So, i'd suggest that given that you 
have no control over Legacy's insistence that it erase the READONLY bit [1], 
that you try to use elevated privileges (another account at least) to set ACLs 
on the file(s) in question to allow READ by Everyone (or those in question), 
but only allow full-control by an elevated account.   You may have to use 
TAKEOWN to make the files owned by an elevated account.  (or just try copying 
your database into another account's



Once you've done all this, i bet you will run into Legacy fatally faulting and 
exiting, however (which is why i'm not bothering to test the validity of my 
theory).  I suspect the engineers have made the assumption that they MUST have 
write access to the file, and there's either deliberate code conditionals that 
gracefully exit the program, or ungracefully take an exception.

I don't know if there are restrictions on mention of other vendor products on 
this list (etiquette #2 is just seems advisory), and i have no direct 
experience, but you can find products that can take GEDCOM and create directly 
runnable EXEs or do view only of GEDCOM data.   google: "gedcom view-only".   
(yes, i do know that GEDCOM interchange is lossy)

Anyway I will +1 the idea that Legacy should have a View-Only mode.  
(preferably selectable as a field value inside the Access database with 
associated UI controls)

[1] IMHO, this behavior (silently altering filesystem metadata for objects that 
are normally user-controlled ) is bad practice.  the program should issue a 
warning or error message that it can not proceed due to the files being 
READONLY .  (In a Perfect World...).  I do, however, understand the "lowest 
common denominator" user-targeted programming model that's common on Windows 
and the "support overhead" arguments being made in this thread -- but  I'm an 
advocate for at least having "Advanced User" modes that can be enabled where 
sensibility takes over again.   Don't know how much engineering changes would 
need to be made to the program to support a VIEW-ONLY mode.

Yes you can copy the .fdb file to a CD but Legacy will not let you work
on it there. It offers to copy the file to your hard drive where it can
be modified.

[LegacyUG] DNA testing

Was wondering if this testing using DNA is a valuable tool. Ancestry.com is 
offering it and wanted some opinions on the technology, tks.

I would use FTDNA or 23andme. You get to see the actual chromosome map with

I have confirmed several lines are connected and found several brick walls are 
NO connection at all.

This is using the Y DNA test from https://www.familytreedna.com/

RE: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

[Ann Barry]

Yes. I was able to confirm a line that had circumstantial evidence but I felt 
needed one more hard fact. However, unless you are willing to share your tree 
on Ancestry, you will not get full benefits. I pull out a barebones GedCom from 
Legacy and uploaded it to Ancestry and link it to my test. And I periodically 
update the Ancestry upload as I add more information into Legacy. I strongly 
advise keeping Legacy as the file you make changes to.



And my husband was able to connect with a lost side of his family.

Very worthwhile.  I recommend Family Tree DNA.  It's the same price as
Ancestry and they will probably have a sale on DNA Day - which I believe
is April 14.

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

[Thomas Jay Kemp]

Go for the FamilyTree DNA testing: https://www.familytreedna.com/
Very effective.
They let you 'add in' your DNA test from Ancestry - so you get both sides
of the testing - so do both.

Very impressed with the practical results for genealogy research - we
confirmed an entirely new wing of the family - that linked from the
pre-records period - this would never have happened without this testing.

Even though there are few people with our surname - we were able to sort
out the surname into 5 completely different families. Only DNA has let us
accomplish this.

It's essential - do it.

[LegacyUG] Report Options not available

[Jane Sarles]

OK here's the thing:   I need a descendant report from ancestor X. I am
certain there is some simple box to check or button to click that I am
overlooking here, but I can't select any options on the Report Option
screen.  They just seem like they don't recognize the check.  They don't
look greyed out, but they apparently are.

I have done jillions of reports in the past.  Has the old brain lost too
many neurons at last, or is their a bug I don't know about?

Re: [LegacyUG] DNA testing

[Wendy Howard]

Judy Russell, aka "The Legal Genealogist"
(http://www.legalgenealogist.com/), writes about DNA each Sunday (her
time, Monday for me). You may like to take a look at some of her
columns, they're well-written and easy to understand.

Late last year she ran a "best of" series, including this one on her DNA
posts through the year -
http://www.legalgenealogist.com/blog/2014/12/29/2014-top-posts-dna/

 From what I've read of this blog, you need to consider what you are
trying to determine from the testing, and who you're going to test,
before deciding which tests might be the best one for you.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy

RE: [LegacyUG] Report Options not available

Jane,
Once you get to a jillion, the brain needs a reset.  Likewise , maybe the 
report settings need to be reset.  Try the reset button in the lower right 
corner.

[LegacyUG] RePosting - still need answer and is Mail list working??

[Jay at 1familytree.com]

Well since I havent received mail since March 6

I am reposting this, even tho' I see in the archives list, it made it to
the list.

OK, having a moment here where I know this should be fairly easy to do, but
the logic is escaping me.

I want to tag all of the spouses of my blood related persons.

I can use the "Related" selector which gives me all my blood related AND
their spouses.
But how do I trim out the blood relatives, leaving only their spouses?

Thank in advance for any help.

Jay

[LegacyUG] Searching for spouses of related

[Jay at 1familytree.com]

After a further search I see Cathy did post a response.

But really, to do this for all of my relatives I have to go to each of my
end of the line GGG___GP and create groups?  I have over 100!

There should be an easier way






Hi Jay,
What you say is not quite correct. If you search for Relationship equals
Related, you do not get the spouses - only the blood related individuals.

To get just the spouses, first set a focus group or a tag for the line
you are working with.
Descendants of the furtherest away ancestor(s) relevant to that line -
not Entire Descendant line - just Descendants. Descendants does include
the spouses.

If you use a focus group, you need to turn that focus group into a
search list which can be done from the Miscellaneous tab in the search.
If you tag the descendants you need to first search for that tag (or in
the Name List use Search - show all tagged)

Now search within this search list - use the radio button at the bottom
of the Detailed Search screen - for Relationship does not equal related.
There's your list of spouses.

Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Report Options not available

[Jane Sarles]

No...high hopes, but I guess not.  I did and it didn't.  The column on
the left allows some checks, but none at all on the column on the
right.  There are boxes with the letter C to the right of some of the
items on the right side.  I do not remember seeing those before.  That
does not mean they weren't there, of course.

Thanks for the quick response.

Re: [LegacyUG] Report Options not available

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Jane,
The C means Clear

I wonder if you're not in the report you think you are. Have you gone to
the Descendant Chart instead of the Descendant Book Report or Descendant
Narrative Book Report?

If you are in the right report and reset settings didn't help, sometimes
it helps to close Legacy, delete the relevant .usr file and then restart
Legacy. That definitely returns reports to default settings.

For Legacy 8 the usr files are at Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr
Desc.usr is for the Descendant Chart
Descend.usr is for the Descendant Book
DescNarr.usr is for the Descendant Narrative Book

Note .usr files are text files which can be opened in Notepad and what
they're for is in the top line. Just don't edit them.

It's evident your'e psychic.  You got it on the nose.  Thank you.  I
knew it was the neurons all along.

 Subject: [LegacyUG] Report Options not available

 OK here's the thing:   I need a descendant report from
 anc estor X. I am
 certain there is some simple box to check or button to click
 that I am overlooking here, but I can't select any options on
 the Report Option screen.  They just seem like they don't
 recognize the check.  They don't look greyed out, but they
 apparently are.

 I have done jillions of reports in the past.  Has the old brain
 lost too many neurons at last, or is their a bug I don't know
 about?
