Re: [LegacyUG] Bringing Legacy from one laptop to another

2017-03-16 Thread Cathy Pinner


Michele,
Legacy 8 creates the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\ folder.

I think what has happened is that you created a folder called this on 
your new computer and then put the folder from the old computer inside 
it. When you installed Legacy it used the 1st folder.


So copy things from the 2nd Legacy Family Tree folder into the first 
into the same folders but don't overwrite if there's a newer copy in the 
1st Legacy Family Tree folder.


You should just be able to delete the \_AppData\ folder in your 2nd 
Legacy Family Tree folder. The only thing you need to do is make sure 
there is a Legacy8.lic file in the \_AppData\ folder in the 1st LFT folder.


Here's articles on how to sort out your files.

4 data files all together instead of just 2!

To compile the problem, before I realized the problem, I seem to have

I think I now have updated the data files in the first Legacy Family

Tree folder, data folder and data files for a while till I'm sure.
The Legacy program of course finds all four of the data files instead
of just two and that leaves me prone to update the wrong files.

Can you advise. Is there some way to just put that second Legacy

doesn't find it and I don't get confused again???
In the long run am I right in thinking I could combine Legacy Family
Tree (2) into Legacy Family Tree folder (1) which is higher up the
folder tree.
Legacy Family Tree folder (1) contains App Data (duplicate), Data,
Legacy Charts (empty), (Legacy Family Tree), Legacy FS, Media.
Legacy Family Tree folder (2) contains: AppData, Data, Legacy Charting
(charting files), Media Samples).

Confused? I sure am!

[LegacyUG] Add event

2017-03-16 Thread John Groome

I am trying to add an event to an individual.

I opened the individual's record and clicked on "add record" whicpened the
event window.

On the event line, I selected "electoral roll" from the drop-down and
tabbed to the next field "Description" where I tried to enter "Foreman".

As soon as I enter the letter "f" Legacy appears to lock and I am unable to
continue.

I closed Legacy and ran a repair which created an error report.

The error is "Individual RIN=103358, Role=. The event has been removed"

This was the individual to whom I was trying to add the event.

I rechecked the record and confirmed that there was no event created called
"Role"

Re-ran check and all OK.

Retried entering event only to get exactly the same error, error report and
advice to check file carefully.

I am somewhat at a loss on what steps to take next.

Could some kind person point me in right direction?

 Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Adding a Period of Years to an Event

There are two date ranges that Legacy will recognize.
"From date one to date two" or date one - date two; and
Between date one and date two.

I use the first for the case of a known duration eg. Residence: 
Minnesota from 1943 to 1956 (based on city directories for these years) 
and the second for an event which may have no duration but which 
occurred sometime within the range eg married (as in the marriage 
ceremony) between 1920 and 1930 (evidence on which I would base this: he 
was living at home and single in the 1920 census but married and living 
with his wife and children in the 1930 census. Both census records would 
by my sources.

For a marriage that lasted a period I would not use a date range. I 
would only use the marriage beginning (ceremony date) and if it ended 
(other than by death of one spouse) I would enter the date of 
divorce/dissolution/separation. It is then obvious to me the marriage 
lasted from the first to the second date.

Being Canadian, your results will be on 23andMe's "old" system which 
has problems interworking with the US customers on the "new" system 
-- but we manage.

You will get an eMail informing you that your results are available 
on-line.  That's it!  It's then up to you to ask all your matches to 
"share".  You then have lots of work ahead of you analysing the 
matches.  But *do* upload your data into GEDmatch and FT-DNA.

My suggestions were made when the DNA component was being added into 
Legacy and still in beta.  This was long before Mantis was even a 
glint in Dave's and Ken's eyes!  Sherry phoned me to discuss the 
suggestions, and that was the last of them!  I will only regurgitate 
them (and other DNA suggestions) if someone at Millennia shows 
interest.

None of them "work" with Legacy!

Legacy has a place to enter Family Tree DNA's Y-DNA STR test data.  
But no features in Legacy use or work with that data.  This test only 
applies to males.  The only thing accomplished by adding that data 
into Legacy is making the family file larger in size.

Family Tree DNA's Family Finder test is an autosomal (at-DNA) test 
and thankfully there is no place to enter that data.  The data from 
the current test results in a text file of about 22.5Mb and contains 
about  720,000 lines of data.  Why enter that into Legacy when Legacy 
has no use for it?

See my previous message for further comments on this.

Cathy is correct, as usual.  23andMe's test and the current test from
Ancestry are both autosomal (at-DNA).  The raw data from just one of these
tests results in a text file of over 15Mb and contains about
600,000 lines of data.  Why enter that into Legacy when Legacy has no use
for it?  Legacy will never use it for anything.  The same goes for Y-DNA STR
results which are stored in Legacy.

Gmail George wrote:

23andMe's raw data does indeed include Y test data (if a male) and also
mitochondrial (mt-DNA) test data.  The resulting haplogroups are also
provided, but in the "old" or "long" format.
Note that 23andMe's Y data are SNP values and these are not compatible with
the "old" marker tests that Legacy accepts because those are STR values.

As Cathy said, create an Event in Legacy to keep track of who tested and
what tests they took.  Unfortunately this will not colour-up 
Legacy's DNA icon.   :-(

If you want to do something with your raw data then do yourself a favour and
upload it into both GEDmatch's and Family Tree DNA's databases to get
additional matches from their databases -- this costs nothing!  GEDmatch's
research tools are also better than those provided by the testing companies
-- Ancestry doesn't provide any research tools!

I believe Legacy got off on the wrong foot with the DNA features.  
And then when suggestions were made by me and others to make some changes to
it these were ignored.  The only data that should be entered for each testee
are the haplogroups (with perhaps a typed-in testing company name), and
Legacy's DNA section should permit this no matter which testing company --
there are about a dozen!  It also needs to be possible to enter other DNA
tests taken, even if only for a single SNP.
Legacy then needs a feature to copy the haplogroup values up the family
tree's biological ancestors -- Y-DNA up the patriline, and mt-DNA up the
matriline -- showing who the original testee was.  A problem report would be
generated if two of these merged and didn't match.

Luc has attempted to add some of Legacy's missing DNA features into Legacy
Charting but he is limited in what can be done at that point.

Hope this all makes sense and doesn't muddy-up the DNA waters even more.

[LegacyUG] Adding a Period of Years to an Event

2017-03-16 Thread baxwal...@sky.com

When adding an event to an individual or a marriage and I know the period of 
years that relate to that event  ie. 1965 to 2002, what is the correct way to 
enter this data?

Re: [LegacyUG] AncestryDNA results

2017-03-16 Thread Gmail

Bonjour Cathy

 

I am also a beginner.

I received 23andMe as a gift and, reading their documentation, it seems they 
also provide results (raw data) for Y test.

I’ll wait and see.

 

Ciao

Georges,

As far as I know 23andMe's DNA test is also autosomal.
Autosomal test results are MB not a few numbers.

I'm only a beginner with DNA.

Have I missed it?

Florence,

You can't enter autosomal DNA tests (like Ancestry) in the same way 
you can enter other types of DNA tests. The results are megabytes long.
You can enter an event and attach the results file to that.
You can use events to help you keep track of definite matches.
There are other ideas on how to record/track DNA matches in the 
webinars and elsewhere.

Re: [LegacyUG] TO LINK THE MEDIA FOLDER/FILES

2017-03-16 Thread Cathy Pinner

Yes if you use a Windows emulator.
Parallels or Crossover or others?
I understand from a post in the Facebook Legacy User Group that a 
previous version of Crossover (v 15) works better than v16 and details 
how to get the earlier version.

A number of Legacy beta testers use Parallels.

I too have Legacy on more than one computer -- a desktop running
Windows XP
and a laptop running Windows 7.

I copy the data files (and those of other programs) using a USB flash
drive.and batch files on each computer.

It should be possible to show that in user defaults, or isn't it?
