Re: [LegacyUG] Locations in General Notes

[Brian/Support]

One possible reason why things may be placed in the Notes is by import 
from a GEDCOM file. If Legacy finds something in a GEDCOM that it does 
not understand it will place the data from the GEDCOM in the general 
notes and report that in the log file created during the import. I am 
not saying that this is where your odd data came from but it is the most 
common way that data can be added to Notes by Legacy.


The second reason is that the original GEDCOM contained those notes 
entries because the original file contained those entries.

Birth

The entries are not consistent over the whole database.
What could cause this?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You tick the box in the marriage entry screen that says they had no children.

[LegacyUG] Locations in General Notes

Good Evening,
In the process of cleaning up the three sections of Notes, I am noticing

that I did not enter these locations in the Gen Note Section.

When you enter the marriage information on the General tab, there is a box
at the top left to check if the couple did not have children.

In Family View click on the Marriage Info. field. There's a tickbox for
"This couple had no children".

Open their marriage for edit. There is a check box there which will mark 
the couple as having no children.

If I put it in general notes, it get's stuck with the 'no date' data.

[LegacyUG] Couple without children

[Martha Graham]

Hello,
Where would a notation be put with regard to the fact that a couple did 
not have children?

If I put it in general notes, it get's stuck with the 'no date' data.

Thanks for suggestions.

E-mails I classify as letters. 

I record correspondence with a particular person, whether by e-maul, snail 
mail or mailing list (a variant of e-mail) as one master source, as 
"Correspondence with Name". In the detail section I put the date of the 
letter or e-mail, and put relevant quotes in the "Detail Test".When I file 
them under dates, the date I put in the Detail section is always in 
-MM-DD format, which means they are sorted in date order when you look at 
the sources for a particular person.

I don't use Sourcewriter for correspondence, because I find it too 
cumbersome. It tends to create a separate master source for each letter or 
e-mail, and that just creates digital clutter. 

GEDCOMs I classify separately as Gedcoms, with the name of the person I 
received them from and the date of the Gedcom in the Master Source. In the 
detail section I put the name of the person and their ID number in the 
Gedcom..
