Hi Gwen,
Check the archives, we've answered this from your previous email.
Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009:

Family View doesn't show ANY great grandparents. It shows a couple with
their respective parents and their children (and optionally children
they've had with another partner).

By "3 gt grandparents" do you mean 3 generations OR only 3 out of the
possible 8 great grandparents of someone? The earlier emails spell out
how and where you can see further generations. If you mean the latter
please clarify.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birthdays, Deaths Dates and Anniversaries in Legacy Home tab view

Amazing!  How did the "Living?" "No"
  get checked?  I looked at both their Individual's Information at
  least 3 times and never saw that Julie was marked as No! 
  Huuu.
  Thank you ever so much Cathy.  Maybe I need to run a search on all
  my people who do not have death dates but are marked as Living?
  No.

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Picture Location In The Picture Gallery

[Cathy Pinner]

You may find it easier to do the sorting in the Picture Centre (Tools -
Picture Centre)
Switch to the Attached Pics Tab and not the Order arrows
Used in connection with the Attached Pictures list to the left of the
tab - the bottom box, this may or may not be less frustrating than
dragging and dropping multiple times.

Hi Elizabeth,

Did you check the Living setting near the top of the Individual
Information for both of them? It sounds like one at least has been set
to Living? NO.
Anything entered in death or burial fields can trigger the switch in
flags and it doesn't switch back automatically by removing the data.
Even if you remove it immediately and cancel out of the Edit screen.
You might also check for death and burial sources though I don't think
the source alone triggers the switch in the living flag.

Drag and Drop should work to move the picture into any visible spot on
the
screen. Since the screen only displays a max of 3x3 pictures (the
slider in the
lower right controls how many per row) you may be limited
to moving the last
picture a couple of times from row 4 to row 1 with an
intermediate stop on row
2 since row 2 will be the top row when row 4 is

On import you can tell Legacy to sort events by date but not children.  (you 
could send that in as a suggestion if you wish).

Hi all.

Actually this is a two part question. I imported a family file and found that 
none of the children were sorted by birthday. To fix this in the future...

1. During import, is there a way to auto-sort all children in a family file, so 
that they're all sorted by birthday when the import is complete?

2. Is there a way to fix the family file, after import, so that all children in 
the new family file will become sorted by birthday?

Many thanks in advance!

Re: [LegacyUG] Teaching people how to use Legacy

Michele:

Thank you for the link.  Although it was for Legacy 4.0, it made a nice 
review (i.e., do I know how to perform that operation in 8.0?).

Kristen,
I teach Legacy classes all the time.  What I teach depends a bit on
the audience.  I  have to take into consideration their level of computer
knowledge in general, their knowledge of genealogy database programs in general,
their knowledge of Legacy specifically and what level of genealogists they are.
Class size also matters.  I try to make it user driven as much as possible
showing them how to do things that they specifically want to know.  I do have
some specific topics that I like to speak on, my favorite being cleaning up your
file (standardization).  I also do a lot with using Legacy with FamilySearch.
Absolute beginner classes are great too because they are usually amazed ☺

We
do have some materials for leaders of local user groups.  These have not been
updated since version 4.0 but they should still give you some ideas.

I also teach people
one-on-one for anyone in the Columbia County Genealogical Society and the
Augusta Genealogical Society (Georgia).  All they have to do is call me and I
will arrange to meet them at the Euchee Creek Library.  I try to coordinate it
with the monthly meeting of the CCGS (which happens to be today).  They all know
that I will stay after the meeting and help as well.  I always have my laptop
and the library has a nice projector.  I suggest you start with some one-on-one
because they will help you learn what sorts of things people are most interested
in.

As far as having a set curriculum...  I use PowerPoint for my general
genealogy presentations  but I never do this when I am doing a Legacy class.  I
just crank Legacy up and have it on the screen as I talk.  I encourage the class
participants to have their laptops with them.  They retain more if they are
actually working in the program.  I usually have a list of things I want to
cover for that particular class but that's all the written notes I have.  Since
I know the program very well I don't need written notes other than a simple list
of topics.

A couple of minor thoughts
1) Use a neutral color scheme on
your Legacy program so that the colors aren't distracting.  If you are using a
projector you will want to test the look out on the screen before you do the
class.
2) If you use your real data file it is a good idea to bookmark specific
people in your file that you can get to fast.  You don't want to display living
people in your file as you are navigating (your other option is to have a test
file set up, I use both).
3) If your talk is on a specific topic and you have
specific examples in your file to illustrate it, again, have these people
bookmarked so that you don't spend a lot of time making people dizzy as you
navigate through your file.
4) Keep the presentation to no longer than an hour.
Any longer than that they will probably go into information overload, especially
if you are working with beginners.  Better to break it into two sessions if you
need to.

[LegacyUG] Changing Picture Location In The Picture Gallery

[Howlanddavisii]

LUGgers:

Is there a way to move pictures in the picture gallery from one place to 
another when there are a lot of pictures (more than nine, let's say)?
When I add a picture to the gallery, it is placed at the bottom.  If it is 
a new picture (i.e., up to date, showing what the person looks like), I want to 
move it to the first position (top left) and set it as preferred.  I realize 
that I can set it as preferred in any position but I like to see the most 
recent individual and group pictures that I have in the first row.  So I go to 
the new picture and move it up one row, then to the next row, etc.  Is there a 
faster way to do this (more pictures per row, more rows per screen, etc.)?  I 
have tried to move it several rows at a time but that doesn't work.
