Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing question

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Scott,
RE question 1.
If you have sources that disagree in substance (not typos and not 
transcripts) then you need to record all of them. Depending on the 
disagreement, add Alt. Events. eg if sources differ on the birth date or 
year, add an Alt. Birth (I don't mean from Census if the age given is 
only plus or minus one from the age from a more reliable birth record).
The genealogical standard is to note all information and write notes to 
resolve the differences or why you can't resolve them.


RE question 2.  I sometimes add notes as you suggest (Year only), (day 
and month only - no year eg from a birthday book)
The actual relevant part of the text of that source will be in Source 
Detail text which I don't normally include in a citation.


RE question 3. If a book disagrees with itself then you need to note 
that. The page with the most complete detail may be correct but may not. 
This often happens with compiled family histories as the data comes from 
various family members over a period of time. I then try to find a 
better source.


RE question 4. If you've seen and sourced an original publication I 
wouldn't source something that referred to it UNLESS there was a 
discussion of the accuracy or not of that earlier publication. However, 
I look for original sources, not sources from compiled histories.


For more on sourcing adequately and what should be in the source 
citation see https://www.evidenceexplained.com which has heaps of 
examples and discussions.

I have recently begun replacing my extensive sourcing notes with 
direct sources attached to the record fields. This will allow the 
sources to be more easily transferred and understood when my tree is 
uploaded to genealogy sites, as well as enabling sources to appear on 
reports.


But I have a few questions about how you handle a few sourcing challenges.

First, how do you handle sources that a) disagree or b) have incorrect 
information (such as typos)?


My thought is that if I know that one source is correct, I'll link 
that source, and only include a note regarding the other in the 
Research Notes.  This way the source is recorded, but it's identified 
as incorrect.  Only the correct source(s) will appear on reports.


Second, how do you handle it when a source only provides PART of the 
information in the field (e.g. only the birthdate but not the place).  
When the complete picture is sewn together from multiple sources, its 
challenge to reference it (again so it appears properly on reports).  
Two options, perhaps:
1) Record the actual information found in the notes. While the linked 
source may appear to support all the information, the notes will 
clarify that it's only partial.  However, this may not be obvious on a 
report
2) Append the detail source with a note that clarifies the information 
(for example, "(birth date only)".  This seems the more thorough approach.


Third, how do you handle detail sourcing when data appears in a single 
source multiple times (for example a genealogical book of a region 
that contains multiple intermarried families)?  This is especially 
true when the information within the book doesn't agree.  Here's what 
I've been thinking:


Rather than clutter up the source link with every instance the data is 
found within the text, I record the page where the most complete data 
is found and ignore the remaining pages.  If the data disagrees with 
itself, I either a) link to the correct page and note the incorrect 
data, or b) make no links and record both sets of data in the research 
notes.


Lastly, how do you handle derivative sources?  By this I mean texts of 
data that use earlier publications as their source.  It seems 
redundant to source them at all if its known that the data is just 
pulled from an earlier publication that you've already sourced.  Yes, 
you could link it and append the source with "citing " but if 
you've already linked the original source, what's the point?  In this 
case, I feel like I should only link any additional information found 
in the newer publication.


Thanks
Scott

Re: [LegacyUG] Name List Help Needed

[Cathy Pinner]

Margaret,

This is an issue that some people encounter and not others so it's very 
difficult to know what the solution is.
Some people find it helps to turn off the PP alerts and the Hints in the 
Name List and to only show 3 tag columns on it.
It would be great to know the cause. It often starts happening after a 
Windows Update so an extra restart or two of the computer may help. 
Unfortunately no active beta testers experience the issue as far as I 
know. I know I encountered it once but it was gone again without 
knowingly doing anything special.


Re using the Name list to find people instead of the Index View. Do you 
know you can customise the columns in the Index View and indeed save 
sets of different columns that can be switched with a couple of clicks?
I always use the Index View to find people. I can pick out the James 
Cooper I need from a list of them very quickly (I have over a screen of 
them and over a screen of John Cooper's as well) as I usually have a 
Relationship column and a Preferred Spouse column as well as combined 
birth/baptism column. I have another set of columns that includes 
parents ...

Everything is fine as far as Windows updates etc goes.  I have used 
Legacy for years and never had this issue before.  It began about a 
month ago or so and is just driving me crazy.  There must be something 
that is causing this.  Everything else is working just fine.
Anyone else have any ideas?  I will try anything and truly appreciate 
all your ideas.

My only other suggestion is to check Settings on your computer and see 
if there’s a Windows Update that is downloading or installing.  The 
last two updates rendered my old laptop almost unusable until they 
completed. It could be a background anti-virus scan if your computer 
was off for a long period.  If  I’m working on something important, 
I’ll Pause Windows Updates and tell my Anti-Virus program to not do 
background scans. Good luck.  I know this is frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Name List Help Needed

[John Faulks]

A good list of suggestions so far. Some other possibilities outside the
legacy software itself:

   - If your data is not local to your PC, network connections and
   especially cloud connections could slow things down.
   - Hard disks might be getting full or need defragmenting (older spinning
   disks, not SSD's)
   - Have you added any new apps (or updates) on your PC? Use the task
   manager to see what else might be running in background.

Good luck

Re: [LegacyUG] Name List Help Needed

[Trevor Good]

Hi Margaret
On a couple of occasions I have fixed a sticky problem  by 
re-downloading the Legacy Program, this replaces any gliches and just 
seems to work, BUT if all else fails (as the saying goes) go to "Legacy 
Home" and "Submit a Support Ticket", the experts there have helped me on 
many an occasion, you will need to enter some of your license 
information, but all is easy really.

Did you turn off Tagging?  That helped my list load faster.

That was not the solution.  Neither of them were marked, so I marked them,

This problem may be caused by having only one of these two options 
turned on. Show Married Names and Show AKAs. It is suggested you turn on 
both or neither.

I use the "Name List" when I am searching for someone.  I prefer the

It has begun to come up in slow motion and takes forever to open up.  
Would someone please tell me what is causing this and what the fix is?

Thank you.

[LegacyUG] Name List Help Needed

[Margaret Gagliardi]

I have asked this question before, but I really need some help fixing this.
I use the "Name List" when I am searching for someone.  I prefer the Name
List  to the "Index" option because it gives me so much more detail than
the Index option.
It has begun to come up in slow motion and takes forever to open up.  Would
someone please tell me what is causing this and what the fix is?
Thank you.
Margaret

[LegacyUG] Sourcing question

[Scott Hall]

I have recently begun replacing my extensive sourcing notes with
direct sources attached to the record fields. This will allow the sources
to be more easily transferred and understood when my tree is uploaded to
genealogy sites, as well as enabling sources to appear on reports.

But I have a few questions about how you handle a few sourcing challenges.

First, how do you handle sources that a) disagree or b) have incorrect
information (such as typos)?

My thought is that if I know that one source is correct, I'll link that
source, and only include a note regarding the other in the Research Notes.
This way the source is recorded, but it's identified as incorrect.  Only
the correct source(s) will appear on reports.

Second, how do you handle it when a source only provides PART of the
information in the field (e.g. only the birthdate but not the place).  When
the complete picture is sewn together from multiple sources, its challenge
to reference it (again so it appears properly on reports).  Two options,
perhaps:
1) Record the actual information found in the notes.  While the linked
source may appear to support all the information, the notes will clarify
that it's only partial.  However, this may not be obvious on a report
2) Append the detail source with a note that clarifies the information (for
example, "(birth date only)".  This seems the more thorough approach.

Third, how do you handle detail sourcing when data appears in a single
source multiple times (for example a genealogical book of a region that
contains multiple intermarried families)?  This is especially true when the
information within the book doesn't agree.  Here's what I've been thinking:

Rather than clutter up the source link with every instance the data is
found within the text, I record the page where the most complete data is
found and ignore the remaining pages.  If the data disagrees with itself, I
either a) link to the correct page and note the incorrect data, or b) make
no links and record both sets of data in the research notes.

Lastly, how do you handle derivative sources?  By this I mean texts of data
that use earlier publications as their source.  It seems redundant to
source them at all if its known that the data is just pulled from an
earlier publication that you've already sourced.  Yes, you could link it
and append the source with "citing " but if you've already linked the
original source, what's the point?  In this case, I feel like I should only
link any additional information found in the newer publication.

Thanks
Scott
