Re: [LegacyUG] acronym

[Monique Riley]

Jean,


It means it was a source that came over from the "New" FamilySearch, which was 
the previous older (Legacy) version of  the FamilySearch that we know and use 
now.

Re: [LegacyUG] acronym

[Brian Kelly]

Look for your answer at FamilySearch, it is their term so hopefully 
their help will explain what it means.


I found this statement: "Legacy Sources are sources originally entered 
into new.FamilySearch.org (nFS) by a user"


I also found this on the FamilySearch WIKI 
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Legacy_NFS_Source. "Legacy NFS 
Sources were brought into FamilySearch at the request of the original 
submitter in response to a letter sent by FamilySearch in the year 2012. 
They are attached to the people."

Re: [LegacyUG] Census

[Donna Potter Phillips]

Holly, my thoughts are 2-fold. First where was he/mom living when the 1920
census taker knocked on the door? Or, #2, sometimes when a child was so
very sickly that it was feared they might die sooner than later, less
attention was paid to it. Sounds brutal but sometimes it was so.  Or maybe
it was just a great big oversight.   Good luck, Donna

Re: [LegacyUG] Census

[Cathy Pinner]

Holly,

I've made use of the Event Census Sentence Definitions and use the 
option without entering a place for this situation.
My great grandfather wasn't with his family and I haven't been able to 
find him elsewhere.

I have for the sentence with Desc and Date but no Place
For the census [onDate] [FirstHeShe] [Desc].[Sources][:if 
[Notes]::[CR][Notes]]

For my great grandfather this reads:
"For the census on 06 Jun 1841 he was not at home and has not been found 
elsewhere."
The Event Notes detail my searches but mostly in Privacy Brackets. He 
was only 8 and one of his younger sisters is also missing though I may 
have found her with friends. She has a more unusual name. Common surname.
I don't think they were just missed out as their father was the 
Enumerator for the neighbouring district so I'm sure he would have 
filled out the schedule form for his own family himself.

I have an unusual question. My father was born in 1918 (I have his
birth certificate, and mutiple corroborations of this). He appears
with his family on the 1930 and 1940 census, but is not listed on the
1920 census. His parents are there, as well as his older brothers.

Is there a better way to note this apparent error?

Jill,

Then I hope you noticed you can also save as HTML which may be better 
for adding to your website.

Re: [LegacyUG] Info for Website

[Walter Wood]

You can also save an MS Word file in several web page formats. While you can
read a PDF on the web, it is not as nice as a regular web page unless you
only want people to download it.

You can save as an RTF but if you are working with a newer version of MS

Subject: [LegacyUG] Info for Website

I generated an Ancestor Book Report.  I would like to copy parts of it after
I edit it and publish it on a personal website, crediting Legacy of course.
I see no way to do this using the Ancestor Book Report.  It appears that I
can save the information as a PDF or as various image types but not as an
editable document.

Is this correct?  

Is there a better way than by using Ancestor Book Report to get all the
info, with the lovely footnotes, etc. into a document I can easily edit
before publishing?  I just want a Word document with the same info.  

Thanks!

Re: [LegacyUG] Census

[Martha Graham]

Hi Holly,
Many times a child will be visiting a neighbor, or other family member 
when the Census person comes knocking. Try alternative methods for your 
Census search and see if you can find him.


I would also make a note of his absence in the family home only after 
you find him elsewhere.

Is it an error - perhaps the child was with other members of the family or in 
hospital ?
