Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

[Sharon Bolte via LegacyUserGroup]

The original message to the list is in the attachment.

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.

Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com.  Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.--- Begin Message ---
I belong to both.  I appreciate the "newbie" questions on facebook.  I also 
appreciate all the people willing to take their time to answer what may be a 
simple question to some of you.  There are no snarky attitudes on facebook.
As I understand it, you can join facebook and only participate in the Legacy 
group if that is what you wish.  You do not have to be a part of the "social 
media" aspect.

Thank you Michelle for your response. I understand thatquestions will be 
answered either here or there, but my concern is that peopleon only one format 
will not see all the questions. Quite often someone else’squestion and answer 
can be very informative to others. I do not see the advantagenor the need for a 
forum in two places. I wonder how other members feel aboutthat.

It seems to me that having a Legacy Facebook page as well as this Legacy Mail

On the FB Group, there is more chance for thread-drift :-)

Legacy does have a web forum on Facebook.

I don't use it because I prefer forums that use the mailing list or newsgroup 
format.

But the book report only allows one to do that with the ancestors or 
descendants of a single person, and not everyone in the database. 

Though that is what I would do if I were seriously looking for missing 
information.

You do, however, seem to be participating in this forum. 

People may have their preferences about which format and technology they like 
to use for forums -- mailing list, newsgroup, web page etc. But they are all 
forums for discussion and exchange of information. 

In some cases it is possible to pick and choose - the soc.genealogy.britain 
newsgroup, for example, is gated to a mailing list AND to a web forum by 
GoogleGroups, so people can pick and choose which format they prefer. 

But Facebook, unlike Google, does not allow such a gating option.

Some seem to be asking that Legacy set up another web forum, not on Facebook, 
but that would have the disadvantage of having three forums instead of just 
two, so there would be even more chance of not seeing the question that 
interests you because it was on one of the other forums.

I don't believe it is possible to gate messages between Facebook and the 
mailing list, so they will have different content. 

I don't belong to the Facebook group, because I find the mailing list is a 
far better format, because it is easy to save and search for messages with 
useful content.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing information search and report.

[Cathy Pinner]

Terry,

There are various ways to find Missing information.

Go to Search - Find - Missing Information tab and you can get lists of 
people who are lacking say a birth place or whatever you've chosen.
Then you can use Sherry's advice to get a printout. The Search List is 
the same Format as the Name List but only has the people that match your 
search.


You'll also see that the Search has a Missing Sources tab.

Or you may prefer to do a book report and use the option to include 
underlines for missing information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

[Don Quigley]

I hope I am typical of most Legacy folks.  I belong to both the FB group and 
this message board.  In my case I do not use 
FB as a social medium, but only as a way to be in relevant groups, like FB and 
TNG, where I can view and participate in discussions of interest.  I will say 
that FB does make it easy to include images – say of a screenshot from Legacy 
in support of a topic.  I have found the Legacy FB group posts to be much more 
of the Q variety than “social medium” (which suits my interests just fine).  
The downside (without trying to appear snarky) is that quite a few of the 
posted questions are obviously from “Newbies” and of little interest to me.  
Having said that, we all were “Newbies” once and desirous of all the help we 
could get.

Yes, it is searchable.  If it is a tip that the staff or a beta tester

#LegacyFamilyTreeTips.

The posts are in a rolling format.  If someone responds it pops back up to

I don't have a problem with it. I am on Facebook but have not joined the 
Facebook page. If the mailing list were abolished, just think of how many 
people would not have the ability to get their questions answered because they 
refuse to join Facebook.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mailing List vs Online Forum

[Gene White]

Thanks, Michele, I inferred that from other posts here in the list.

Is the Facebook page searchable?  Are the questions/posts organized by 
subject or category?


Although I have a Facebook account, I don't have a high regard for it 
and refrain from using it as much as possible.

I'm new to this mailing list (but not to genealogy).  I seems to me that the
mailing list format is a bit 'old school'. I wondering why Legacy doesn't
create an online forum instead?  Forums have the advantage of allowing the
user to pick and choose the topics they want to read and reply to, instead
of getting 10s of emails every day (I joined on the 6th and already have
over 120 emails).

Are there reasons Legacy doesn't have a Forum?  Opinions?

The original message to the list is in the attachment.

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.

Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com.  Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.--- Begin Message ---


I' for one  list, The Legacy User's Group, on this list. Forget FB, but it 
is such a social  media gathering that I join the dinosaur list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

[Chick Lewis]

Thank you Michelle for your response. I understand that questions will be
answered either here or there, but my concern is that people on only one
format will not see all the questions. Quite often someone else’s question
and answer can be very informative to others. I do not see the advantage
nor the need for a forum in two places. I wonder how other members feel
about that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy User Group Mail List vs Facebook User Group

[Michele/Support]

The two groups are not the same.  This mailing list and the Facebook page are 
in completely different formats.  There are people that are only on one and 
some that belong to both.  Totally up to you.  It would be impossible to cross 
post everything but whether you ask a question here or if you ask it there, it 
will get answered :)

Once you've brought up the Name List, you can create a report of who
shows in the list by clicking on the Print button and selecting the
appropriate fields to show in the report.
