June,

When you go to the Family Group Sheet Report, look at the bottom for 
Record Selection button. Here you can choose a tagged group.

Re: [LegacyUG] AppData

If your settings are disappearing on an update of Legacy 8, it sounds as 
if the computer is confused as to where the Documents folder is. If it's 
been moved, check that it was moved correctly and is being referenced 
correctly all the time. OR you are logging in to two different accounts?


The Legacy settings are held in Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData as 
you know so are user account specific.

Re: [LegacyUG] Combining locations in Lecacy 8

[Cathy Pinner]

Steve,

The pop up about the county is from the USA County Verification tool 
which can be turned off at Options - Customise 2.1 - about half way down 
the list in that section.


I'm not sure why you would be getting other errors when combining. 
Perhaps you should contact Support with an example.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Combining locations in Lecacy 8

I'm having problems combining locations in Legacy 8.

Paradoxically it seems to work faster on my slower desktop computer with
Windows XP than on my faster laptop (with more RAM) running Windows 7.

On the laptop machine, particularly, it keeps popping up error
messages. It
pops up something to tell me that there is no such county as La Salle
county
in Illinois (I know that, that's why I was trying to combine it with
an entry
that had Lasalle county).

Then every time I combine two locations (with slightly different
spelling or
punctuation) it tells me that there is an error and I must run file
maintenance.

Earlier versions of Legacy performed this operation much faster,
without all
the annoying popups, and waiting ten minutes for it to locate the
location.

Is there any way of at least turning off the popups, and of combining
several
locations at once without having to run file maintenance after each one?

Microsoft in all their wisdom. created "Snap Assist" to auto arrange our
windows

Try adjusting your Windows from auto snapping your windows.  If you don't
like this just redo these steps.

Windows 10
To disable Snap Assist (Windows 10) launch the Settings app from your Start
Menu. From the Settings window, click System. Find & click Multitasking in
the column on the left. Under the “Snap” category on the right set choices
to Off. This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10.


Windows 7 - to stop window snapping
Open up your Control Panel, and then go to the Ease of Access center. From
there, click on “Make the mouse easier to use”… And then remove the
checkbox for “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved
to the edge of the screen”, and then click the Apply button to actually
save the setting

Hi Elsie,
If you set your core files including the app data directory to sync via

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

[June]

Thank you everyone for the suggestions - tagging and checking seems a good
way to go although I like the idea of Laura and Anne's suggestions of using
a data base and think I will try this. It seems a more 'visual' way of
checking what I have. I appreciate everyone's help.

I'm not a name or tree collector, in fact my tree is fairly small because I
always (or thought I always) triple checked that I could prove the
connection etc.

Yes - I do have a few people who I believe are connected and who I have
entered but they are tagged and I have notes in the research section
indicating why they are there and what I need to do to find proof. I never
go back further on that line until I have cleared up the queries in my
notes.

My 'Smith' issue is not from just entering names that I have 'collected' but
is from having - for example - three Parish marriage records for John Smith
who all married Mary ? and inadvertently adding the wrong Mary, therefore
making Mary's tree incorrect. Somewhere in the line I have (for example) had
3 John's the children of 3 Thomas and Mary,  all born within a 3 year period
and I have in error given each Thomas the wrong son. 

You could say I made a clerical error and now I have to go back to the
beginning and fix it. I've got nearly all the paper work, it's one of my
biggest lines and includes many people who unfortunately share between them
only a handful of Christian names.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.  I can see I have a bit of work
ahead of me.

Kind Regards - June

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

[Anne Lo Forte Willson]

Michael,

Depends on what you are looking at. For the problem that started this thread, I 
would use a spreadsheet and start listing the different John Smiths across the 
top with dates down the left column.  Under each John Smith I add what source 
information (including relationships and locations) that I know about him with 
the date of each source listed on the left.  I continue adding John Smiths 
across the top for any source that I can't for sure tie into an already listed 
John Smith. By the time I've listed all the sources that I can locate, I can 
usually sort most of the records into particular individuals.

You can export almost any set of data into a csv format and pull it directly 
into a spreadsheet program like excel.

Anne

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

[Sherry/Support]

Such a great reminder to not rely on "found" genealogies! They might
be a good starting point (or not), but they should always be verified!

A very good researcher had posted a genealogy which merged with my
line and went back to the 1500's - it broke down my brick wall, or so
I thought. Not long after that, she recalled the genealogy, stating
she went the wrong way and the genealogy was all wrong. But by that
time, it had been posted on other web sites and even printed in a book

Even some of the DAR and SAR applications are questionable!

BEWARE!

I had a couple of people in my tree that I have to question if they are really

actually are who I think they are, I can again link them to have them in my

Hi Steve,
One of the things to do with Locations is to periodically do a 'clean 
up' of locations not being used.
Over to the right of the Location screen, click on 'Options', then 
'Purge Unused'


It is possible that the ones that need changing will be deleted.

Michael,

I think I'd use a spreadsheet. I'd tag those I wanted in Legacy, search 
for the tag and then "Print" that search list to csv file which can be 
opened in a spreadsheet.

There's some good webinars on using Spreadsheets to help sort out issues.

[LegacyUG] Combining locations in Lecacy 8

[Steve Hayes]

I'm having problems combining locations in Legacy 8. 

Paradoxically it seems to work faster on my slower desktop computer with 
Windows XP than on my faster laptop (with more RAM) running Windows 7. 

On the laptop machine, particularly, it keeps popping up error messages. It 
pops up something to tell me that there is no such county as La Salle county 
in Illinois (I know that, that's why I was trying to combine it with an entry 
that had Lasalle county). 

Then every time I combine two locations (with slightly different spelling or 
punctuation) it tells me that there is an error and I must run file 
maintenance. 

Earlier versions of Legacy performed this operation much faster, without all 
the annoying popups, and waiting ten minutes for it to locate the location. 

Is there any way of at least turning off the popups, and of combining several 
locations at once without having to run file maintenance after each one?

Laptop, and desktop with no success. How do I and all these emails?

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

[Linda Greethurst]

June,
I too had a "sick" branch on my tree with all kinds of errors - in this
case mostly due to a guy named Gustave Anjou, a "professional" genealogist
in the early half of the 1900 who "created" genealogies - several in my
line and other genealogists had used his information for their own.  So I
don't know where the creativity/inaccuracies begin and what was truth.

It was easier for me to just lop off the whole branch and start all over.
Yes, DELETED about 1300 names starting with a great-grandmother and 8
generations with huge families of 12-16 kids who also had huge families.

I'm starting with a clean mind and I am spending my time looking for
original records instead of trying to figure out where my/his mistakes were
or even whose family trees online are correct or not.  There were several
families who all had the same kids, same vital records but living in
totally different places, sourcing on my part was far from very good anyway.

Now I am working on accuracy as I go and I am not in a big rush to collect
names.  I want to leave an excellent, well sourced and accurate genealogy
behind for my family.  Why give them a bunch of junk?  And if I don't get
it ALL done, then they will get to have some of the fun of researching too.

Good luck.

Linda G

Have you considered making a DB showing the details of each person?  I have 
had similar problems and a DB helps sorth these things out>L:aura

Subject: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

On my tree I have a direct line that I will call SMITH. Unfortunately within
this Smith group there are several called John (all born around the same
time) several called Michael (all born around the same time) etc many of
these being cousins or second cousins.

I have a feeling that I have put the wrong children with parents, and
therefore their children are connected incorrectly.

I've tried to look at each family grouping to see if I can sort it out but
it's difficult. I've got a John Smith born 1700 with  son John Smith and
another one born 1710 with a son John Smith and still another one born say
1705.

I am thinking that my best bet would be to unlink the first Smith to link
into my tree, thereby hopefully unlinking them all. Then start attaching
them one by one back into the tree - but only when I have double checked
that I have the right person (although I thought that I had).

So I need to unlink my first Smith and all their connections, either by
blood or marriage from my main Coates file. Is this possible and if so how.

Or is there an easier solution?

Thank you

June

The Voice of Experience speaks:  this is an *excellent* tip!

I used to use tagging a lot because there was so much I wanted to 
amend/correct after I had been using Legacy a while and learned better 
ways of doing things.  But I kept opening the program, looking a a group 
of people with a particular tag and not having a clue why they were 
tagged!  Now I am assiduous about recording what each tag is being used for.
