Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source

[Cathy Pinner]

Dennis,

If you cite it for every piece of information (as you should and you'll 
be glad you did later when you find other sources for it), if you don't 
change it every time (by making the source detail specific to the actual 
fact) then in a Descendant Book it will be referenced many times and 
only listed once UNLESS you are using footnotes and/or combining 
citations in one paragraph.
For this reason I usually find my citations list shorter (by pages) when 
I don't combine into one paragraph.


For it to be listed once the whole source has to be identical down to 
the last space or period.

Thanks to everyone who responded.  I’ll try some of the suggested 
options tonight.

You MUST cite each piece of data for every person.

You can do the sourcing in a few different ways.

1. Source each person and their data as you enter them using 1 master 
source & clipboard - this is what I would do.  This is pretty easy - 
create the master source and copy it to the clipboard.  Enter each 
person’s data and 1 click on triple bar on left side of data entry 
screen assigns the clipboard source to all the fields for that person. 
 So, basically, it is 1 more click on data entry to assign the source 
to that persons data.


2. Create a blank Legacy database and enter all the new people and 
then create 1 master source


  A. Then, source everyone and all their data using advanced sourcing.

  B.  Import these people into your main database (Note:  you will 
need one common person in both databases to aid with the 
import/merging of people.


3. You can enter all the new people without any sourcing

   A.  Create 1 master source for these people

   B.  Tag all Descendants from the oldest person (sister) that gave 
you the information (Tag all of the new people with Tag 1)


   C.  Use Advanced Sourcing (From Tools) and assign the new source to 
everyone with a Tag 1 and all their data fields.


Any of these options work, but Options 2 and 3 require a little more 
knowledge of importing / merging / Tagging / Sourcing.  If you have 
less that about 15-20 people, I would use option 1.  When you more 
than 20 people, then option 2 or 3 will be much easier to accomplish 
the sourcing of everyone’s information.


Good luck.

I’ve been using Legacy for several years, but I’m only beginning to 
cite sources.  So, I’m still trying to figure out the best way to 
handle citations.  Here is the situation I’m currently grappling with:


Until recently, my family database did not include information about 
the descendants of one of my great-grandfather’s sisters.  I recently 
connected with the daughter of the sister and she has provided me with 
fairly complete information about all of the sister’s descendants – 
about 40 people when you include spouses.  (You can imagine my delight 
in getting this treasure trove of information in one fell swoop!)

Since this information was fairly hard to come by, I’d like to cite the source 
(i.e., personal correspondence from the daughter).  But, it feels like 
“overkill” to generate a citation to this source for each of four or five 
fields of data for each of about 40 people.  That’s a lot of repetitive work 
(even when using the clipboard) and that will generate a lot of duplicate 
footnotes in a descendants report (which is the type of report I most 
frequently generate).  So, I have been considering preparing one citation 
(probably connected with the sister) saying something like:  “Unless otherwise 
noted, all cited information regarding [Sister X} and her descendants was 
obtained from [Name of daughter] by letter dated .”  

 

The problem I see with this approach is that for certain kinds of reports, the 
single citation tied to the sister may not be included in the report and there 
will be nothing cited for a the many descendants.  

 

How would those of you familiar with citation practices handle this situation?

 

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web page creation

[Ward Walker]

Since creating or updating a web site can be something done infrequently, I 
suggest creating a cheat sheet of all the detailed steps from start to 
finish. It can be a simple text file. When you go back a few months or years 
later, you have it all spelled out for you.


I prefer the presentation of TNG over the Legacy-created web pages, but 
there certainly were a few tricky bits to get everything set up well. My 
cheat sheet is 2 1/2 pages long, with sections for the TNG file structure, 
the Legacy export, media, the TNG import, the TNG template, and TNG backups. 
Also, the instructions provided in the TNG readme.html file are crucial for 
initial setup.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source

[Leon Chapman]

You MUST cite each piece of data for every person.

You can do the sourcing in a few different ways.
1. Source each person and their data as you enter them using 1 master source & 
clipboard - this is what I would do.  This is pretty easy - create the master 
source and copy it to the clipboard.  Enter each person’s data and 1 click on 
triple bar on left side of data entry screen assigns the clipboard source to 
all the fields for that person.  So, basically, it is 1 more click on data 
entry to assign the source to that persons data.

2. Create a blank Legacy database and enter all the new people and then create 
1 master source
  A. Then, source everyone and all their data using advanced sourcing.   
  B.  Import these people into your main database (Note:  you will need one 
common person in both databases to aid with the import/merging of people.

3. You can enter all the new people without any sourcing
   A.  Create 1 master source for these people
   B.  Tag all Descendants from the oldest person (sister) that gave you the 
information (Tag all of the new people with Tag 1)
   C.  Use Advanced Sourcing (From Tools) and assign the new source to everyone 
with a Tag 1 and all their data fields.


Any of these options work, but Options 2 and 3 require a little more knowledge 
of importing / merging / Tagging / Sourcing.  If you have less that about 15-20 
people, I would use option 1.  When you more than 20 people, then option 2 or 3 
will be much easier to accomplish the sourcing of everyone’s information.

Good luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing a Source

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 ---
For what it's worth:  I always cite every entry.  I've learned over the years 
that I prefer it that way.  However, when printing off information for family 
or those interested only in the tree and information, I do NOT include the 
sources unless they specifically as for it (I ask them individually before I 
print).  Most casual people aren't interested in the sources.  If I'm sharing 
with another researcher, etc.  I then include my sources and they are willing 
to check the info.  

BTW there is a button on the print button were you can include all info 
connected to a single entry in one paragraph.  This is on the page were info 
(footnotes) is printed NOT on the end notes.

Try FileZilla for uploading webpages. It is drag and drop and easy to 
setup...and free.

Sorry, I may have misled,  I want to use legacy and not TNG,  I already have a 
TNG site and I  can never remember how to use it.
I was hoping that Legacy had a method to upload directly to a web site.

Joanne and Ian,

That's what TNG is all about! Basically, you simply upload your gedcom and 
you're in business. Yes, you need to make a couple decisions then, but TNG has 
some great tutorials that will take you through it. And you can choose from 
about 15 templates to get the look you want. Should you ever wish to customize 
the template, there are many ways to do so, or you can easily find someone on 
the TNG Users group or TNG Forum who will do it for you for a modest cost.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web page creation

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hi Ian


Restricting the webpages will have to be done either through a piece of code on 
your website (not very safe or efficient) or by using .htaccess, which will 
depend on what web hosting site you are using. I usually create a CD with the 
webpages on it and use autorun code so that my non-computer literate relatives 
can just stick the CD in and it will run.

[LegacyUG] Citing a Source

[Dennis Birke]

I've been using Legacy for several years, but I'm only beginning to cite
sources.  So, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to handle
citations.  Here is the situation I'm currently grappling with:

 

Until recently, my family database did not include information about the
descendants of one of my great-grandfather's sisters.  I recently connected
with the daughter of the sister and she has provided me with fairly complete
information about all of the sister's descendants - about 40 people when you
include spouses.  (You can imagine my delight in getting this treasure trove
of information in one fell swoop!)

 

Since this information was fairly hard to come by, I'd like to cite the
source (i.e., personal correspondence from the daughter).  But, it feels
like "overkill" to generate a citation to this source for each of four or
five fields of data for each of about 40 people.  That's a lot of repetitive
work (even when using the clipboard) and that will generate a lot of
duplicate footnotes in a descendants report (which is the type of report I
most frequently generate).  So, I have been considering preparing one
citation (probably connected with the sister) saying something like:
"Unless otherwise noted, all cited information regarding [Sister X} and her
descendants was obtained from [Name of daughter] by letter dated ."  

 

The problem I see with this approach is that for certain kinds of reports,
the single citation tied to the sister may not be included in the report and
there will be nothing cited for a the many descendants.  

 

How would those of you familiar with citation practices handle this
situation?

 

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
