Re: [LegacyUG] Remove Source Citations

[Kris]

Hi, Cathy --

Thanks for all the great info.

I'm actually doing the research again, but many of my earlier online 
sources are no longer available.  So far, I've had good luck, but I 
don't want to trash all the work I've already done, just in case.

Kris,
You can delete Sources with their Source Citations without doing it one
at a time BUT that deletes the Master Source as well.
What you could do is to edit the Master Source slightly - just changing
the Source List Name is enough - and you may want to change that anyway
as that's your finding aid for your Master Sources so the name needs to
follow a pattern you set. eg I start with Source type eg Census; Cem; PR
for Parish Register ...

When you edit a Master Source and click Save you get the option to apply
the change to all instances of the Master Source OR to a new copy.
Choose the new copy option.
Then return to highlight the original in the Master Source list and
click Options - Delete.
It will say it can't be deleted - do you want to see who uses it.
Say yes and on that next screen is a delete anyway button. So that would
achieve what I think you say you want. Note that the people using it now
have no indication that this source is relevant. So if that's not what
you meant, then you need to do them one at a time.

But if your Master Source is fine, then why not just edit the Source
Detail?

Sounds like you are actually doing a Go-Over seeing you want to keep
things. So don't forget to set tags to say you've "gone over" that
person or if you've switched to Legacy 9 you could use a number of
hashtags to describe what you've checked.

I'm slowly doing a Go-Over and tag on 9 when I've finished checking
sources and doing any further research I want to do at the moment. To
keep focussed, I stick to a particular branch. I've just completed one I
started in January. That one was mainly in South Australia. I'm looking
forward to starting another mainly in England to take advantage
particularly of Somerset Parish Registers that are now online. As part
of my Go-Over I'm checking all transcriptions I've used where possible.

I did the export/import GEDCOM but lost all the Master Sources in the

confirmation for each and every delete. I'll be dead before that gets

I'm sure the export/import GEDCOM is the way to go, but I'm not sure
which items to remove from the export.

Thanks!

Re: [LegacyUG] Citations, sources, etc.

[Martha Graham]

Good Evening,
At the risk of upsetting folks who believe in the E Showen Mills 
Theory[sorry if her name is wrong] I put all of my citations right at 
the bottom of the data in any event or note.
That way the citation stays with the data, no matter where it goes - 
into a gedcom or a pdf to send off to a fellow researcher.


This also eliminates having to think about format. If I cut and paste 
the Source Citation right from the webpage, or type the title of a book 
[adding the page # of course] or an email with a date and addy, it is 
done and I can move on to doing real research and not fret about what it 
looks like. And, anyone looking at my work can see at a glance where the 
data came from.


For Instance: the 1850 Census for this family
Crosley, Thomas C Age 42, B: Ohio, Physician
Crosley, E M Age 42, B: Virginia [Cannot read or write]
Crosley, Susan Age 22, B: Indiana
Crosley, James Age 19, B: Indiana, Farmer
Crosley, M T Age 17, B: Indiana
Crosley, John Age 14, B: Indiana
Crosley, N Age 12, B: Indiana
Crosley, Bennet Age 10, B: Indiana
Crosley, A M Age 7, B: Indiana
Crosley, D Age 4, B: Indiana
Crosley, S Age 2, B: Indiana

Image Source: Year: 1850; Census Place: District 56, Mercer, Missouri; 
Roll: M432_406; Page: 374; Image: 233


Now, Census records are all over the place, so lately I am not including 
a website url
Heck, you can even download a whole roll of digitized census film from 
the Archive.org site.

Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Ian Thomas]

If a computer has 2 screens, it is often the fault of the screen-switching 
software that something doesn't fit or disappears  - which not always under 
Windows ' complete control.



In Windows 10, you have extra facilities (go to Settings, and use search)  but 
the most useful and neglected is the small icon on your Task Bar (mine is at 
bottom, left - to the right of Cortanas's microphone).  It's called the Task 
View - it looks like a screen.

[cid:image001.png@01D2C8C5.53FF2BB0]

[ above: a 10Kb image - guaranteed no malware. If your emails are set to plain 
text, this will be an attachment, not within the email ]

This allows you to view all windows (term meaning the displaying area for each 
programme, or part' of a programme) and by clicking on one of those, it will 
have 'focus'.

That's a hint worth trying - I often have a great number of windows open, 
including multiple web pages in one or several browsers, and it removes a lot 
of confusion to be able to see what's where on my (single) screen.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen



Alt-Tab only cycles through open APPLICATIONS (programs) Alt-ESC will not only 
cycle through open applications, but will also cycle through open CHILD windows.



Unfortunately (usually) neither will help you find the window if it is off 
screen.



If you can get focus to the child window, try WINDOW-RIGHT ARROW (or 
WINDOW-LEFT ARROW).  Keep hitting same key combo until the child shows up on 
the desired screen.  WINDOW-ARROW key takes the window that is in focus, and 
moves it to the left edge of its current monitor (if you use left), then to the 
right edge of the next monitor to the left, then to the center of that next 
monitor, then to the left edge of that monitor,

then right edge of 3rd monitor, etc, etc, etc.   The good thing about

this - it WRAPS - so when it gets to the left edge of the left most monitor it 
will circle around the right edge of the right most monitor, then center of the 
right most monitor, etc.  Eventually it should end up being visible.



With Windows 7 (my Windows 10 machine is doing a backup, so I can't test

it) - I tried having a Legacy child window open, then made some other program 
the active window.  Then, by clicking on the Legacy icon on the task bar, the 
CHILD became active - and thus I was able to move the child window around using 
the WINDOW-ARROW method.  In other words, I did NOT need to click on the child 
to make it active - just clicking on the Legacy icon made the child active.



You can also try right clicking on the task bar and select CASCADE WINDOWS or 
on SHOW WINDOWS STACKED - but I'm not sure if this will bring a CHILD window 
back to your main monitor.  Worth a try though.



I have some programs that, no matter WHERE I last closed them, they INSIST on 
opening on some other monitor the next time.  It can get real OLD real FAST - 
but I've learned to just deal with it.



btw - there is another method that works for a PROGRAM window that is "lost", 
but it apparently does not work for a CHILD window that is

lost:  SHIFT-Right click on the icon on the task bar, select RESTORE (if 
RESTORE is available - if it is gray, move on to next step).  Then SHIFT-Right 
click on the icon again and select MOVE (and let go of the SHIFT-Right-click).  
Then hold down either the right or the left arrow to move the window.  Of 
course it helps if you have a good idea if the window is "lost" to the left or 
right. (If you have good eyes, you can sometimes tell this by first watching 
the button on the task bar as you repeatably click on it - you may see a faint 
image "swoosh" off to the left or to the right (IF you have that feature turned 
on in Windows - it is on by default I believe).)  This method does NOT wrap!  
So you can end up shoving the window further off the screen!  If it doesn't 
show up fairly quickly, then hold down the other arrow key to see if it comes 
flying in from that side.

My citations are a real mess. I use the Basic system and *do no want *to
use Source Writer.

By and large I have too much info rather than too little.  I'll appreciate
all suggestions for ways to better organize things.

I now have Legacy 9 Deluxe.

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

[Ian Thomas]

Certainly malware  scripts can be embedded in JPG images, but every server has 
anti-malware utilities that check for those.

As for size, if you look at the size of the post that you just sent, CE WOOD, 
it is greater than any of the individual images posted by Carrie Pillow.

That is because the internet headers are incredibly large, because of all the 
anti-malware checks that are done along the way from sender to Millennia's 
server and then back to all the subscribers to this list.
To view those internet headers - in Microsoft Outlook it is quite easy, using 
Message Options (you may have to customize).

Actually, size of individual list posts should not be a problem these days - 
provided small images are the rule. Windows Snipping Tool is usually OK for 
illustrative pics of Legacy Family Tree, I would think. Videos are always too 
large.

My opinion is that a few, well-chosen images clarify an explanation and will 
reduce the chatter through misunderstandings. Also, trimming some of the prior 
replies when sending a reply is sensible and polite. (That used to be a rule of 
internet etiquette)

Re: [LegacyUG] Hash Tags

[Cheryl Stegert]

The other thing I like to do is review the master location list.  Sort by state 
in first position --  those would be the locations that will be the ones you 
really are looking for. Then scan to see if Michigan is listed in the country 
position or county or city position. I generally just re-sort the list to make 
the scan easier. I started doing this when I found I had put Michigan as the 
country name!

[LegacyUG] potential problems!!!!

[olivannahen]

Hello everyone.  Does anyone know how to disable 
the potential problems feature.
I keep having to individually delete things like 
Upper case surnames, which I want.  I go to the options and click on the one I 
want and save, and it still won’t work.   Other 
‘problems as well.’   such as children sorting.  I do exclude them but it does 
only work for that person.
This could take forever and on opening the family 
file they are back.
I sure learn a lot from this forum and have much 
more to learn.
Thanks,
Gail

Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Robert57P_gmail]

Alt-Tab only cycles through open APPLICATIONS (programs)
Alt-ESC will not only cycle through open applications, but will also 
cycle through open CHILD windows.


Unfortunately (usually) neither will help you find the window if it is 
off screen.


If you can get focus to the child window, try WINDOW-RIGHT ARROW (or 
WINDOW-LEFT ARROW).  Keep hitting same key combo until the child shows 
up on the desired screen.  WINDOW-ARROW key takes the window that is in 
focus, and moves it to the left edge of its current monitor (if you use 
left), then to the right edge of the next monitor to the left, then to 
the center of that next monitor, then to the left edge of that monitor, 
then right edge of 3rd monitor, etc, etc, etc.   The good thing about 
this - it WRAPS - so when it gets to the left edge of the left most 
monitor it will circle around the right edge of the right most monitor, 
then center of the right most monitor, etc.  Eventually it should end up 
being visible.


With Windows 7 (my Windows 10 machine is doing a backup, so I can't test 
it) - I tried having a Legacy child window open, then made some other 
program the active window.  Then, by clicking on the Legacy icon on the 
task bar, the CHILD became active - and thus I was able to move the 
child window around using the WINDOW-ARROW method.  In other words, I 
did NOT need to click on the child to make it active - just clicking on 
the Legacy icon made the child active.


You can also try right clicking on the task bar and select CASCADE 
WINDOWS or on SHOW WINDOWS STACKED - but I'm not sure if this will bring 
a CHILD window back to your main monitor.  Worth a try though.


I have some programs that, no matter WHERE I last closed them, they 
INSIST on opening on some other monitor the next time.  It can get real 
OLD real FAST - but I've learned to just deal with it.


btw - there is another method that works for a PROGRAM window that is 
"lost", but it apparently does not work for a CHILD window that is 
lost:  SHIFT-Right click on the icon on the task bar, select RESTORE (if 
RESTORE is available - if it is gray, move on to next step).  Then 
SHIFT-Right click on the icon again and select MOVE (and let go of the 
SHIFT-Right-click).  Then hold down either the right or the left arrow 
to move the window.  Of course it helps if you have a good idea if the 
window is "lost" to the left or right. (If you have good eyes, you can 
sometimes tell this by first watching the button on the task bar as you 
repeatably click on it - you may see a faint image "swoosh" off to the 
left or to the right (IF you have that feature turned on in Windows - it 
is on by default I believe).)  This method does NOT wrap!  So you can 
end up shoving the window further off the screen!  If it doesn't show up 
fairly quickly, then hold down the other arrow key to see if it comes 
flying in from that side.

When you think a window has opened off the visible screens hold ALT 
and click the spacebar. This will open a windows menu for the current 
(hidden) screen. One of the options there is move. The position of the 
menu will give you a clue as to where the hidden screen is located. It 
will be on the side of the monitor where that screen should be.


Select move then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the 
hidden window into view. When it is fully visible click enter to exit 
the move mode.


Legacy should remember the last place a screen was opened/closed and 
reopen it there. In older version those screen locations were stored 
in the Legacy2.usr file. If they still use that file you will find it 
in your _AppData\Usr folder. Deleting that file is major surgery 
because it will reset all screens back to their default sizes and 
locations.

locked and I have to close the Legacy window - not a proper close.

Does anyone know a way to tell Legacy where to open a window? Since no
other program does this I have to think it is Legacy. Maybe there is a
setting I'm missing?

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

[Susie Zada]

In this 'recent' discussion about graphics, Gene is the first to point out
the issue of bandwidth and/or download limits.

People need to remember that Legacy is an international product AND there
are users all around the world - many don't have access to unlimited
reasonably access!  And I'm speaking from experience here - living in
country Victoria in Australia.

Think of others.

No-one would dispute the value of images when explaining things but I would
dispute the value of open-slather on this list.  If you want why not put
your images on the Legacy Facebook page and include a link to, but don't
exclude the rest of the users from this list!

Is it possible to get a virus from an embedded image? I don't know the
answer to that, but I know a lot of forums allow that, so I doubt it's a
problem. Who would like to have a vote? If that's acceptable, count me in

embedded images are sent with the email as attachments, so yes, they can
easily send viruses.  Some people have limited bandwidth due to various

fair to hammer their limited access.  It is a simple matter to post your

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

Thank you Martha. As another writer of technical documentation (retired in 2009 
after nearly 30 years in Silicon Valley) I agree. A graphic, along with 
callouts (arrows and text) to describe about what you are writing is very 
important.

 

However, as a writer who has used Microsoft (or Apple) interface terms since 
the mid-1980s, I cringe with some descriptions I read. A ‘screen’ is the 
surface of a monitor. A program displays in a window. The user can have several 
programs running, each in its own window, on the screen of the monitor.

 

Best,

 

Denise Moss-Fritch

I write tutorials all the time using graphics from various types of software 
along with text explaining the steps- these are primarily for folks who need a 
visual way to navigate complicated programs and get the results they desire.

 

If we cannot help each other using our experiences, we are shooting ourselves

Please consider allowing graphics within email notes and queries, they work!

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

[CE WOOD]

It's not just viruses; it's malware too. And your computer could already be 
infected, meaning you have no idea that the image you send contains the virus 
or malware.


Normal looking images can hack your computers. You should not presume the image 
files as "innocent" anymore, as they can hide malicious code deep inside its 
pixels that could infect your computers.


Photos can be embedded in emails as they are in webpages—and do their dirty 
work when you open the mail.  Steganography, which in a digital context means 
the art of hiding data in another type of file. Malicious code can be hidden 
within the pixels in any digital image.


Users typically don't think of common image files (such as .jpg, .png, .bmp, 
and .gif pictures) as risky or insecure, but it's possible to conceal malicious 
code in an image.


A graphic can easily contain additional bits interwoven within the image, 
without noticeably effecting the image's appearance. That additional data can 
include code, which is encrypted to make it harder to identify.

Luckily, such an altered image can't do much by itself. No image viewer will 
see or know what to do with that code, even if it isn't encrypted. But malware 
developers often break up their code into multiple pieces and distribute them 
separately to avoid detection.

The information hidden in a picture could contain instructions useful to 
another piece of malware on your computer. Once your computer is infected, what 
you send can be also. In other words, a device can be compromised, in theory, 
after simply opening a picture.

embedded images to posts, and possibly some who are against that (although
that might not be the case). Since the membership of the list is not what
it once was, maybe the ones who make the rules would be open to putting it
to a vote of the remaining members?? Is it possible to get a virus from an
embedded image? I don't know the answer to that, but I know a lot of forums
allow that, so I doubt it's a problem. Who would like to have a vote? If
that's acceptable, count me in for allowing it. If not, I'll abide by the
rules.

Alt+tab should show you the open windows. When you tab to the Legacy 
open window then do as Gene suggested.

It is not Legacy. It is windows.  Windows remembers where a window
was when the program closes and tries to put it back there.
You may have had a window open off screen when you closed Legacy
and windows put it back there

Here's one way to "rescue" such an off-screen window and bring it
back onto the active monitor:

Make the off-screen window the active window by clicking on
its icon in the Windows Taskbar.
Press Alt+Space, and then press the M key. ...
Press any arrow key once.

But did you enter their birthplace as "Michigan" which is what you 
searched for?  Or did you enter something like "Michigan, United States"

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

[Martha Graham]

Good Morning Listers and Legacy Support Staff

I write tutorials all the time using graphics from various types of 
software along with text explaining the steps- these are primarily for 
folks who need a visual way to navigate complicated programs and get the 
results they desire.


If we cannot help each other using our experiences, we are shooting 
ourselves in the foot and discouraging others from expanding their use 
and knowledge of the software that can make a difference in the 
organization of their family research.


Please consider allowing graphics within email notes and queries, they 
work!


Thank you,

I agree

And I've never know an embedded picture have a virus, it attachment that are a 
risk.

And I would not want to put a link to a personal cloud on a public  list that 
is asking for viruses.

I think if you wish to keep this list alive, there need to be some flexibility 
and common sense

[LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Cheryl Rothwell]

I have two monitors. With Legacy 8 when a new window was opened it often
was partially off either screen - but I could locate it and move it. With
Legacy 9 it is often off both screens and cannot be located. Since Legacy
has a window open I can't do anything. The program is basically locked and
I have to close the Legacy window - not a proper close.

Does anyone know a way to tell Legacy where to open a window? Since no
other program does this I have to think it is Legacy. Maybe there is a
setting I'm missing?

Re: [LegacyUG] Hello. Is anyone home?

[Sherry]

The list isn't as busy as it used to be. Most of the people went to the
Legacy Facebook page.

However, I do hope they keep the list open because not everyone wants to
use Facebook. I have a FB account, but personally find it *VERY* difficult
to navigate, particularly when a page is really active - and I've been
trying for over 6 months now! The only groups I pay attention to are the
ones that have very few posts.

I still prefer email over "social media"

Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

[Sharon Blair]

On the F.A.G. sites I have posted pictures & info I give open permission for 
others to save them - with a caution many times there are pictures & info 
posted from several people I can only give permission for my own. And the 
contributors names do appear.  And I do think people should be more open to 
sharing, to me it isn't just adding numbers but helping people. But I am a 
little selfish in feeling that actual relatives should be given preference over 
strangers just posting stuff for the numbers. I am not in a contest.  Sorry 
about the gripe it's just my thinking.

If the person has given blanket permission to use the photo it depends on how 
it is worded on whether or not I still email them.  I have an Excel spreadsheet 
where I keep track of all the people I have received permission from.  When I 
ask for permission I ask for not only that photo but any other that they might 
have taken that I find later.  I also tell them that I write for 3 blogs and 
that I might need that photo at some point in a post to make a point.  I always 
tell them that full credit to them will be given to them as the photographer.  
I am yet to be turned down. Most send me an email of thanks for taking the time 
to ask their permission.

If the photo was taken by someone that is now dead, I put in a new photo 
request with an explanation on why I am asking for a new photo.  I have had to 
do that a couple of times and it was no problem at all.

Thank you Michele



It is great that you wrote this up for us. The only other step I would add is 
to check the photo submitters profile because there are some that have in there 
profile that users can feel free to use their photo. My Aunt is on of them (she 
has submitted over 500) and I know that she would like not being bothered with 
a request to use one of her photos since it is in her profile.

TIP OF THE DAY (Legacy Staff) - My current project

(Legacy 9)



I have been doing genealogy a long time, long before Find a Grave (or any other 
website for that matter) existed. Back in the day you either visited the 
cemetery yourself or you used a cemetery survey book. I have A LOT of people 
that have a cemetery survey book as a source.

A picture of the actual tombstone is better evidence than a transcription of 
the tombstone in a cemetery survey book so I have tagged everyone in my file 
that uses a cemetery book as a source (easy to do on the Master Source List). I 
am using the tag navigation tool in the extreme bottom right corner of the 
Family View to go from person to person. It looks like this I:2. In this case I 
am using Individual Tag 2. You can navigate by using the forward and backward 
arrows and you can change the tag number by clicking in the center of that 
button.

I am using the new FaG tool to help my find these people on Find a Grave.

1) If there is a FaG memorial with a photo, I add the FaG number to the new FaG 
field, I create a new source and I delete the old one, and I ask permission of 
the photographer to download the photograph to my file. I then untag the person.

2) If there is a FaG memorial without a photo, I request a photo and I untag 
this person but I then tag them on another dedicated tag letting me know that I 
am in a holding pattern. I do not change my source citation. I never use FaG as 
a source unless there is a photograph.

3) If there is no FaG memorial, I add one. I know the person is buried there 
because I have a cemetery survey book that says so. When I create the memorial 
I put full source citation to the book and I request a photo. I then untag them 
from this tag and tag them on the other tag (my holding pattern one). Again, I 
don't change my source, not until I have a photograph.

So what happens if I request a photo and the FaG volunteer advises that there 
is no marker? Then my cemetery book
