Thanks for all the replies.  There were very helpful.  I have now been able
to change my contact settings in FamilySearch.

Re: [LegacyUG] speaking of location names

[CE WOOD]

The reason to have an alternate location list is so that whatever location name 
you have found/use for a particular location, it will link to the same physical 
place on the earth just as having an alternate name list will link to the same 
individual.


So, however many name changes, county changes, country changes, et alia, they 
can all be the location index and clicking on any of them will take you the 
that particular place on the Earth.


Anytime you find a particular location spelled differently, in a different 
county or country, it doesn't matter as long as you have that particular 
iteration of the location listed in the location index.


With an alternative location index, you will always know that X location in 
1300 was referred to as X and was in A county and B country, but was later 
referred to as Y in 1500 and was in A county and C country, ad infinitum.


Documents refer to the same location with myriad spellings. Alsace used to be 
German...then French...then German. Do you list is as Alsace, Germany, HRE, 
Prussia, France, etc. You can enter whichever is correct for the time period of 
the individual as long as you have an alternative location. It will lick to the 
same spot on your map, AND you will be able to trace how its "ownership" 
changed.

I have been using several different place name entries for the same physical
location. This is OK for me but makes it difficult to exchange information
with other researchers, in charts or reports, because they would be confused
by location names I use. Even Germans do not attempt to use names as they
were during the German Holy Roman Empire. Many do not even use place names
used by the FamilySearch location standardiser.

This is why I would like to expand the Legacy option which allows selection
of Short Location Names, to also allow selection of other name variations.
Before sending reports to others, I could select a more contemporary
location name e.g. instead of using: Püttlingen, Kriechingen, Wied-Runkel,
German HRE [1776 to 1788], I could select: Püttlingen, Saarland, Germany.

While writing my family history book, I included explanations of location
name variations and the geopolitical implications. I use Genelines timeline
software a lot. I research the histories of their towns, counties, provinces
etc. and add the events to Genelines. First, it helps me to get my head
around their histories. Second, I can include Genelines individual’s charts
in my book to complement my narrative, to help readers understand the
context of ancestors’ lives.

European locations can have very complex and fluid histories, especially
during the German HRE. Even if I have few errors in how a specific time
period relates to a specific town, or county, or province etc., my location
names still appear to be more specific/accurate than they are any other
family trees I have seen.

Yes, I try, where possible, to do that, but FamilySearch seems to want to
use
the current name of a place, regardless of when the event took place. And it
sometimes has standardised on completely inaccurate place names, and
suggests
"standard" names that would mean that a place would have to be in two or
more
different places, none of them within 500 miles of where it actually is.

The German ones are particularly difficult, and, being unaware of all the
historical nuances, I usually enter things like "Woddow, Brandenburg,
Ueckermark, Prussia" even for periods when I'm not sure how accurate it is.

It does, however, mean that in Legacy, one can had 3-4 different place name
entries for the same physical location.

For example, I have

Johannesburg, Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (short form ZAR)
Johannesburg, Transvaal
Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa (short form RSA)
Johannesburg, Gauten

FamilySearch now wants to tack "United Kingdom" on to places in England,
Scotland and Wales, at the very time when the Brexit vote makes it uncertain
hoe long the UK will last, and it wants that name for periods even before 
the

United Kingdom was formed.

I'm reminded of the book which features Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat from
"Alice in Wonderland", only it introduces itself as "the Unitary Authority 
of

Warrington Cat".

Of course one can always record a history of the changes of name and
jurisdiction in the location notes, and perhaps that is the way to go.













I admit however, it can get very complicated. I am the only family 
historian

or genealogist that I know of who is "nutty" enough to attempt using
accurate location names for the extremely complex territories of the 
German

Holy Roman Empire- I think Family Search only uses locations as they were
after the 1815 Congress of Vienna which made enormous changes to borders
throughout Europe.

You can however be rewarded with very fascinating stories e.g. I have
ancestors who lived in a culturally German district which was a tiny 
French
exclave which had been geographically located within a bigger exclave of 
the

Duchy of Lorraine. These ancestors emigrated to a corner of "Poland" which
had been taken by the Austrian Empire. They, with other German families
established their own colony/settlement. This region then fell to

[Sherry]

John,

Go to Search > Find > and on the Missing Information tab, select only
"Death Date" and click on "Create List"

That will bring up a list of all those with no death dates. You can print
that list by clicking on the Print button (it will be sorted in the order
the Search List shows). You can select the fields you want to include.  Or
you can tag those individuals (Options > Advanced Tagging). To tag, select
an unused tag number, make sure you put the purpose of that tag in the
Description field, and click on "Tag Everyone in Search List". By bringing
the Edit tab forward, you can verify the basic information you have entered
and look at other information using the other tabs.

You don't set it up in Legacy, you set it up in FamilySearch. 

All you need to give Legacy is your FamilySearch user name and password, so 
it can log you in. But to edit your profile (including e-mail address) you 
need to log in to FamilySearch separately, outside Legacy.

then, under the Contact tab, you'll see your email address and a place 
to make it public.  That only means it will show when other users click 
on your name as a contributor.  This makes it possible for users to 
collaborate directly with each other, instead of having to use the 
private messaging feature.

Re: [LegacyUG] Contributor email in FamilySearch

This is not a Legacy setting. Check your settings in your FamilySearch 
account. Under contacts what is the option for your email address. I 
have public turned off for mine so I hope that means FamilySearch will 
not include my email address in contact information.

[LegacyUG] Contributor email in FamilySearch

[Theakston Family Tree]

I'm new to Legacy and have been using the FamilySearch feature.  I notice
that some contributors have their name and email address recorded for
entries or changes they make in FamilySearch.  I can see this information
when I click on the "i" information icon at the far right of a FamilySearch
entry.  Most times there is no indication who made the contribution, but
occasionally there is a name and sometimes an email address.  I have noted
my own entries have my name but not my email address.  I would like to

Re: [LegacyUG] speaking of location names

[Chris Hill]

Of course, as well as alternative names we also have to be aware of the
dates when names and location were changed. And it not just because of a
change of country, as towns and cities have extended they have included
villages that used to be a separate location, and in the case of the county
of Middlesex it has completely disappeared.

So Stepney was a separate village in Middlesex to the east of London. By the
start of the 1800s it was still in Middlesex, but was just about joined by
buildings to London, In 1889 the County of London was created which occupied
the City of London and parts of Essex, Middlesex, Surrey and Kent. From 1900
Stepney was part of the Stepney metropolitan borough, which replaced the
ancient parish vestries and district boards. That was replaced in 1965 by
Greater London, which took over most of Middlesex, with parts going to
Hertfordshire and Surrey, along with parts of Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey
and Kent. So now Stepney is part of the Tower Hamlets borough.

Given that my ancestors were based in Middlesex I have tended to use the
ancient Middlesex county, even for entries relating to dates after 1889, but
really I should be using a mixture of Stepney, Middlesex or Stepney, London
or Stepney, Tower Hamlets, Greater London.

Regards

Chris

Yes, I try, where possible, to do that, but FamilySearch seems to want to
use the current name of a place, regardless of when the event took place.
And it sometimes has standardised on completely inaccurate place names, and
suggests "standard" names that would mean that a place would have to be in
two or more different places, none of them within 500 miles of where it
actually is.

The German ones are particularly difficult, and, being unaware of all the
historical nuances, I usually enter things like "Woddow, Brandenburg,
Ueckermark, Prussia" even for periods when I'm not sure how accurate it is. 

It does, however, mean that in Legacy, one can had 3-4 different place name
entries for the same physical location. 

For example, I have 

Johannesburg, Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (short form ZAR) Johannesburg,
Transvaal Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa (short form RSA)
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. 

and there was even a period when Gauteng was known as PWV

FamilySearch now wants to tack "United Kingdom" on to places in England,
Scotland and Wales, at the very time when the Brexit vote makes it uncertain
hoe long the UK will last, and it wants that name for periods even before
the United Kingdom was formed. 

I'm reminded of the book which features Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat from
"Alice in Wonderland", only it introduces itself as "the Unitary Authority
of Warrington Cat". 

Of course one can always record a history of the changes of name and
jurisdiction in the location notes, and perhaps that is the way to go.
