Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

2024-06-17 Thread Anne Hildrum
At the bottom of my screen to the left (on my computer it looks like a 
magnifier) on the computer I have a search field where I can search my whole 
computer for whatever,
if I search there for *.fdb I get a list of all fdb files I have on my computer.

I do know my way around my computer, and that is a totally unnecessary and

don't have Legacy 9 or 10 on my computer there is no blue circle or any Legacy

It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't seem to be
good at finding your way around your computer, put it in the Legacy
default folder for data where the Sample file is, since you seem able to
find that.   ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder.
Then set Options > Customise 1.2 to open your file automatically.
Save your data backup zips to a Google Drive folder and make sure you
know how to use your data backup with File > Restore File.
In the backup dialogue you will see you can set the folder for backups.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy slow to start

Not so surprising they have problems solving it when it is only some people 
having that problem.


I have an 11 year old Dell computer with 32 Gb Ram and have 63 people in 
the file.
I do however ran Windows 10.

Just woken up Jenny on this side of the pond, and I've heard back from Tech

They are well aware of the problem, and one of their own staff has had the 
issue, but so far the Developers can't reproduce it. They are doing everything 
they can to isolate the problem and fix.
So far there isn't a repair, so for the moment a work around doesn't exist.

But for me, it's only the first start, and after that I'm fine.

Thanks though Jenny for the response.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unmarried Unions

I guess it depends on timeframe for the significant other Cindy asked about. 
Labelling the king's ladyfriends mistresses way back may be

quite OK, but I doubt the persons living together today would think that is the 
right way of labelling the women in those

relationships.

That's where researching medieval genealogy is so informative! Many mistresses, 
some in succession, were the titular Queens of many realms, duchies, etc.! And, 
before your time, "Mistress" was the common polite address for a lady!

I agree with Ian,  that is how I do it.  

 

To tag the female partner as a Mistress gives the partnership a feeling of 
something illegal to be spoken about in hushed tones. In my younger days a 
mistress was " a bit on the side." 

Just my thoughts.

I recommend ALWAYS putting the correct location in, and putting the current

I don't know oif this helps you, but this is what it says under help abouit 
unlocking the DeLuxe version.

 

The next time you start up Legacy, click the Unlock Now button, enter your name 
and password and click the Unlock button.  That's all there is to it. 

 

The problem for me giving any more answer is I do have the Deluxe version so I 
don't get the question when I start Legacy if I want to

Legacy.

[LegacyUG] Help with problem please - I have got myself in a mess

2019-04-28 Thread Anne Wiltshire
Hello All

I  must mention that while attempting to resolve the problem below I kept 
getting a message to “Re-set relationships .. “ but as I did not know how 
to do this (even checked Help index)and attempted to resolve the problem myself.

I was working in my Legacy program and added two people John, a son of Thomas. 
I then added Thomas and included his wife Margery.

Unfortunately  realised that I really only needed to enter Thomas and his wife. 
 I deleted the son John and realised I would have to add Thomas to the correct 
John.  

Unfortunately again I added Thomas but his wife did not add and I added Thomas 
again.

I now have three Thomas’ with three different MRIN and the original Thomas is 
not able to be added.

I am not sure I have explained this well enough and I apologise for any 
confusion.

This diagram may be clearer.


John --- John ThomasThe bold John was incorrect so I deleted it, 
however I had previously added his parents but could not see Thomas and his 
wife.  

I entered Thomas twice more after that (obviously not thinking straight) 
without his wife and now have three x Thomas in the MRIN

Thomas & Margery MRIN  1371 (the original and correct parents and entry)

Thomas MRIN 3319

Thomas MRIN 3339

Yours sincerely

I wouild have liked to try this program, but when trying to run the install 
program I am told

it can't be ran on my PC.

It says the programs run on Microsoft Windows platforms, and I do have Win 10 
all upgraded,

so I really wonder why. Unfortuneately it isn't possible to communicate with 
the company.

Subject: [LegacyUG] TCGR, Legacy and SourceWriter

 

TCGR is cheap to buy and a must have as a report writing addition to Legacy 
(for charts, Legacy and it’s Legacy Charting v9 extension are the ones I use). 
Both Legacy and TCGR are amazing programs but because of the richness and 
versatility, both have quite a steep learning curve. Once more or less mastered 
(I still don’t use all features) I find especially Legacy to be very easy and 
smooth to work with. 

 

SourceWriter is my latest discovery…. the question if you want to use the 
SourceWriter templates to enter your new source is a totally redundant question 
and should always be answered with a big and bold YES. (and the program can 
remember your decision…. ). When adding a new Master Source, bookmark the type 
of source you (most) frequently use at that time and select one of your 
bookmarked source types; saves you to scroll through the very rich list of many 
(over 2,500) source templates. Then go to step 2. Very handy and quick and the 
end-result of using the source templates is a beautiful, versatile and 
consistent source list.

Interesting subject.

I also use TCGR to create reports but so far, I 've just created PDF and I have 
thought about including internet links but I’ve not done it yet.

One reason is that I have a poor experience of how permanent a URL is. It can 
be changed or removed and by now, FamilySearch requires a login, which 
significantly limits the availability.
I have so far downloaded pictures and linked them to my database with reference 
to the source.

But, I now have more than 1000 pictures and especially my backup become very 
big,  I'm also considering incorporating movies and audio which does not 
improve the case.

One solution could be to upload the movies to my private cloud (Onedrive) and 
link them to Legacy

Some other ideas?

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

2018-01-14 Thread Anne Hildrum
Sure, but then I don't get the fact that YY was XXs Goodfather or the other way 
around.

I want it to say under XX:  that XXs Goodfather was YY and under YY:  that YY 
was the Goodfather of XX 
Nothing more or less. If I use the Event control buttons I can say I don't want 
it there, but then all is gone, not just the words
in the sentence that Legacy add. That is what I would have liked to be gone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

2018-01-14 Thread Anne Hildrum
I gave up on shared events because Legacy add words to the sentence that I 
don't want to have there.
Whenever I try to use it Legacy it adds words.
An example I add my Goodfather and whatever I do Legacy always adds something.
I woould like to read XX was yys Goodfather or XXs Goodfather was yy, but 
Legacy always add something like XX shared her christening event with YY 
(Goodfather)
If I take out a family group report on YY it will read that YY was XXs 
Goodfather, which is the way I want it. 
I have found no way to get rid of the shared event words in the sentence 
however.
Is there a way?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant book

2017-12-07 Thread Anne Hildrum
I would advise you to joiun the forum on Legacynorsk:   
http://www.legacynorsk.com/phpbb3/

Basically what you add is what gets out. If you enter a country it will be 
listed. If you write Norge, that is what will get out.

 

In the register over places you can have a long address and a short address, so 
if you want to add a country name, but not having it in reports

you can select to use the short name for reports.

 

A Descennat report is always the descendants of one person therefore just your 
name will be there. Don't think there is any way to change that

other than edit the report.

 

You said you have ticked the pictures to be implemented, but have you also 
ticked add pictures in the file? That is if you are using Legacy9.

That is the second last line on teh same side you say to implement the pictures.

 

Anne

Subject: [LegacyUG] Descendant book

 

 

 Hi, I am new with Legacy 9, norwegian ver., and have some questions:

 

I live in Norway, and hope the country name can be changed to Norge in the 
system, so all names are changed. And I also hope to have the possibility to 
suppress the country name, as I feel this in most cases to be unnecessary 
information.

 

I have made a descendant book for me and my wife, but have found no way to put 
her name besides my name in the front page and later. I regard her as extremely 
important in this context.

 

I made it as PDF-document, but I am not satisfied with the layout and want to 
edit it. But the Adobe Acrobat is very expensive.

I tried the RTF-way, and ticked the pictures to be implemented in the document, 
but there were no pictures. 


Do anyone have a solution for me ?

Thanks in advance, Andreas Søli

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

2017-09-28 Thread Anne Hildrum
Calculating birth date from death records doesn't get correct results
though. The age given at death might not

mean you get the year of birth correct. It may be off by a year or on
occasions several years.

 

Some church records may be that accurat, but definetely not all.

Brian, are you not basing the date on a calculation? Why not use the term
Calculated instead? If I see the term About, I don't automatically think it
is meant to mean plus or minus a year or two. My experience tells me that
yes, I know it can very often mean plus or minus a year or two, or-- it
could be a wild guess, based on little or no evidence -- we don't have any
way to know what others intend or interpret it to mean. This frustrating
ambiguity could be avoided by using a term that has a more specific meaning.

If the sources give too wide a difference in the age, then I also enter one
or more of them into alternate dates, but they are still calculated dates.
Thank you for pointed out that a death record that gives birth information
in terms of years, months, and days, is still a calculated date. It should
never be taken as better than that, because as we all know, a birth record
is almost always a better source for birth information than what we see on
death records.

By the way, calculating the birth date from death records is made so very
easy using the Legacy Calendar date calculator! Thank you Legacy!  Anyone
not aware of it, and doing genealogical research, is missing something very
helpful and important. Note too, by the way, that when Legacy's Calendar
Calculate feature is used, the resulting date is, thankfully, shown with a
prefix of "Cal", just like it should be. :-)

the Alt. Birth event to record each one and attach the source document on

When I have data that allows me to calculate a specific date (age in years

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

2017-09-28 Thread Anne Hildrum
Goes to show it is anybodys guess. We obviously use it differently.

 

For me I use about when I have a pretty good idea of when they were born from 
age at death. age in a census

or age at marriage, whereas Estimate I use when I am making a guess on the year.

 

Like I know that a couple have 5 children born between 1725 and 1735, I make a 
guess at when they were born and

that could vary greatly with many years. They could hvae been born 1700, but 
they could also have been born in 1680 and 1690.

Then I make an estimated year to have a year when I am looking for someone in 
my index. If I am looking for someone probably born

in the 18xx, I don't need to look at these who most likley were born in the end 
of 1600.

Estimate and about are synonym as far as I'm concerned.  I always try to go

Everyone seems to have a different idea about the level of credibility to
give it.  Many think it must be within a few years, and don't think of it as
being a wild guess (which so often turns out to be the case), but I'm not
alone in thinking of it as a wild guess, which means it might be 10 to 50
years off. I never use the term About for a date, but would rather use the
term Estimated or Est.  Better than that, of course, when only an age is
given in a source, is to use the term Calculated, or cal.  Calculated as a
term for a date can properly be seen as having much more credibility than
the term Estimated.
Unfortunately, the term Estimated is sometimes being used for a date when it
was derived from a calculation based on age. I sincerely wish they wouldn't
do that.

I'm very disappointed that the term Estimated or Est is not included in
Legacy's Date Prefix options.

Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It?

2017-09-07 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
My input on this thread...I am not impressed with MyHeritage's records.
>From what I can tell, they are all copies of what is available elsewhere.
However, I have found more of my Scandinavian family in trees on MyHeritage
than in other places, including pictures and sources...all new information
that someone in Norway posted regarding their family.

Also, I like on MyHeritage that even when the records or trees that are
'Smart' matches show up, I can mark them as a match, but NOT add any
information from the record or tree.  FamilySearch, of course, has only one
tree, and you have to look in the Duplicate finder to find duplicates.
Ancestry gives me hints for individuals in matching trees, but I can't do
anything with them, so I 'Ignore' them and leave them sitting in the
'Ignored Hints' folder, this is a problem for me, because some of the trees
that I 'Ignore' are about my same people, but others are not and Ancestry
has no way to distinguish between the two.  MyHeritage does, because you
can mark them as matches, but not add any information from them.

Sorry, a little convoluted, but I hope you can understand my meaning.

As for a coordinated list of all the records available at each
sitemaking a chart sounds good, but with all the sites continually
adding more records, that's not a task that would be finished any time
soon.

And whoever it was that mentioned most of their research was in Rochester,
NY,  Wow!  You are SO lucky!  Mine is literally all over the world.  I've
learned about a whole lot of different records because of it!

Easy - basic economics.

 

The reason that My Heritage is making this special offer is to grow their 
market. They already have subscribers, who, at least the vast majority, don't 
need cossetting to remain. Exisiting customers are unlikely to put themselves 
through the difficulty and time of creating new accounts.

 

The way for My Heritage to make more money is with new customers, not giving

And just to throw another reason for two marriages out there...my

Reportedly they never told her mother, who would have been horribly

Anne,
It still applies.

Besides it's not so easy to sync a desktop database with an online tree
system. Note the delay in the release of FTM and RootsMagic sync ability
with the Ancestry tree.
Any syncing between a Legacy family file and a My Heritage tree requires
the development of the mechanism to do it.
It won't come before Legacy 10 and is expected to be entirely optional.
On top of that you then have the Privacy settings on a MyHeritage tree
apparently. I don't have one.

Their TreeBuilder syncs with their website. I do not use it, so know only

Complete privacy on the website occurs *_ONLY_* if you set those options 
on your website tree. If you have more than one tree loaded on your 
website, you must set the privacy settings for each. Some people don't 
mind having people find and/or view some of their trees.


You can even set your tree so that it *_cannot be found _*if someone 
searches. You can do the same for any pictures or files you upload. If 
someone can't find your info by searching, they cannot view it.


You can limit those who can find your site to only your list of "members", 
and you can prevent "members" from changing anything on your site.


On far too many internet sites you find on the internet, people think a 
source is someone else's website! With very, very few exceptions, you can 
never trust anyone else's sources; you must go to their source yourself to 
check.


My research is mainly medieval. My sources are original documents (primary 
sources) or reliable secondary sources such as _Complete Peerage_, 
_Domesday Descendants_, _Domesday People_, Settipani's tomes, etc.., but, 
with new documents being discovered almost daily, especially in England, 
errors have been found in many of those. There are several scholarly

I tried MyHeritage with the basic subscription and don’t trust it for 
various reasons. It defaulted to automatic renewals every year and I don’t 
remember any other options. It was extremely difficult to find out how to 
enter an end date for the subscription because it was buried so deeply. 
From memory, I had to get out of their website and search on Google to 
find out how to do it.


I entered some relatives on their Family Tree Builder. Even though I 
thought I kept everything private, it ended up fully displayed on their 
website.


You can never relax while using MyHeritage and have to constantly be on 
guard. Their technology/program seems to have “trip wires” everywhere to 
reset everything to defaults that suit them.


Like others, I found MyHeritage users never provide sources. To contact 
them or see their website, often requires paying the premium subscription.


On one occasion, I did manage to correspond with someone using MyHeritage, 
but his information was full of errors and false presumptions. He claimed 
to be an engineer!


I think MyHeritage will do everything they can to mine data from Legacy 
users. Also, Legacy users will gradually have to pay for more and more 
features and upgrades. As for cloud storage of family files- as soon as 
users get used to it, there is little doubt that costs will be attached.


MyHeritage seems geared to obtaining your data for free, while making you 
pay as much possible to search for any.

If you sync with MyHeritage and leave the setting to public, then you tree 
would be visible.

 

If you sync with MyHeritage, but set your tree to private (as is my tree) than 
no one will be able to see your data.

 

If you do not sync your tree to MyHeritage, no tree will be uploaded.

 

All the above are the same criteria as is found on Ancestry. I know, as I have 
a private tree there too.

Click the FamilySearch ID LABEL. If the person does not have an FSID number

Re: [LegacyUG] External hard drive

I've been using the Web link in the media to attach photos that I are
already loaded online (Ancestry.com, FamilySearch) and sources that are
online also.  I also create a link to the image on my hard drive.  This has
been working very well for family to see them, as we have our Legacy data
file stored on DropBox and accessible to all family members.  Everyone has
a free version of Legacy on their own computer and creates a local backup
whenever they leave the program.  This creates backups all over the nation
and on multiple computers.  With the web links, it is now possible for all
family members to see all the images that we have attached, no matter
whether it is a source, a portrait or locality interest items.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying Sources from FamilySearch.org to Legacy and Ancestry.com

2016-12-26 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
do you really want to copy the sources back and forth?  Legacy, Ancestry
and FamilySearch all have different ways of writing their sources.  If  you
copy them from one to the other, the formatting won't match.  I'd rather
have a way to match up the sources from one to another, that is, in
LegacyFamilySearch mode I could mark sources that show in FamilySearch
Family Tree as the same as a particular source in Legacy So I am able to
confirm that I have all the sources in both places, but not necessarily
copied from one to the other.

[LegacyUG] Upgrading to Legacy 8

2016-07-02 Thread Anne McDade Davies
Hello all at Legacy

I have been using Legacy 5 for many years now and have not upgraded mainly 
because I didn't like the "drastic" change in Version 6 as far as the set out 
of the viewing page.

However as I now have an android tablet and mobile (Samsung) and wish to use 
the "Families 2" program when I go overseas next month, it looks like Families 
will only support from Legacy 6 and upwards.

So my question is if I download the free version of Legacy 8 to my laptop to 
try it out, will it interfere with my Version 5 that is already on my Windows 
laptop ?  By that I mean will I be able to go back to V5 if I decide not to 
upgrade to V8.  

Thanks in anticipation of your reply

Re: [LegacyUG] Cloud Storage

2016-05-20 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I have been using Dropbox for several years now.  I maintain our main Legacy 
file there.  Each family member can access it (my father, my sister, my 
brother) Legacy automatically saves backups to each person's local computer 
drive but the master file is in the cloud.  There are three issues that I know 
of. 1. Two people working in the file at the same time, 2. Media files with 
exact addresses, 3. Syncing 

So, for #1: Dropbox allows two people to work on the file at the same time, but 
whoever closes their file first retains the master name, while for the person 
who closes second Dropbox creates a second file and adds the additional name of 
'Anne's conflicted copy' to the main file name. If this ever occurs, you can 
use Legacy's compare files tool to see any differences between the two files.  
Google Drive doesn't allow two people to have the same file open.  I'm not sure 
how Microsoft OneDrive works.

#2: Legacy uses exact addresses for media files, so if I log in on my computer 
it looks like the files are in c://Windows/users/Anne/Dropbox/Pictures...but if 
my brother logs in, the pictures are in 
c://Windows/users/brother/Dropbox/Pictures, so Legacy doesn't have the correct 
address and cannot find them.

Both of these issues are not a problem if you are the only person who uses the 
Legacy file and you have the same file structure for any system you log in on.

#3: syncing can be automatic or not it depends on how you set it up.  If you 
have it off, then you will need manually sync your files every time you open or 
close Legacy so that whatever system you use is using the latest version of 
your file. With automatic sync on, you only need to be connected to the 
Internet and it will keep your cloud file at the latest version.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch

2016-05-04 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Those Scandinavian names are simply difficult to find all versions of them 
existing within Family Tree.  I diligently search FamilySearch Family Tree for 
individuals I research and when I cannot find them on Family Tree, I add them.  
Lo, and behold, once I've added several people in the family, and THEN use 
Legacy's FamilySearch sync mode, I find the whole family showing up with a 
different surname, usually because someone has attached the farm name to the 
surname.  Legacy has been so helpful in finding these duplicates, but much of 
the time even with Legacy they only show up after I've entered a number of 
individuals in the family.

[LegacyUG] Help with problem of my own making!!

2016-05-02 Thread Anne Wiltshire
Hello


I have a William North in my husband’s line who married (1)Sarah Rogers (2) 
Elizabeth Jeffreys
By (1) he 7 children and by (2) he had 4 – Elizabeth, Ann, William  & John.

The North family feature in several marriages on this tree.

When working on another line I found the daughter Elizabeth married a Crasler 
and that she was the daughter of William & Elizabeth North (nee Jeffreys) 

I have not as yet worked out what I did incorrectly but somehow have Elizabeth 
attached to her father William but the daughter of a new unknown wife 
and the marriage of William & Elizabeth  (Jeffrey) show only the three later 
children. 

How do I fix this please – I have actioned merges without causing any such mess 
before.  I am hoping it is fixable and that someone is able to assist.

It shows up as below:


William North = Sarah RogersWilliam North = Elizabeth Jeffreys 
William North = Unknown wife (no third wife)
|   
 ||
correct 7 children    only Anne, William  & John
Elizabeth (should be eldest daughter of second wife)



With thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch

2016-04-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
FamilySearch doesn't allow sources attached to any 'Other Events'.  You can 
only tag sources to name, gender, birth, christening, death and burial.  
Although you can add sources and NOT tag them to anything.  

Have you looked at how Legacy sources show up on FamilySearch Family Tree?  
I've not been very happy with how sources don't match with other system sources 
when either uploading or downloading.  It makes for duplication, but yep. 
Creating sources in both my Legacy file and in FamilySearch Family Tree is the 
only way that makes sense for me right now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about online "Sources" and marriage, divorce, remarriage for last names

2016-04-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Honestly, I never generate married names for women.  If I find a Mrs. Somebody 
Surname, I create an individual with just a surname as her husband.  

 I also choose the most common or most correct form of a surname to use for the 
whole family. In most records in the US my family shows up as Acunia, although 
all their personal documents and signatures show the spelling of Acuna.  I use 
Acuna for all of them.

I deal with all the name variations within the sources by recording the actual 
spelling in each record.  

The only times I use the alternate names are:

1. for a true AKA (grandpa Giuseppe Lo Forte has an AKA of Vito Spiarto added 
to his death certificate along with his correct name)

2. For a nickname that shows up in records as regularly as his true name 
(Smiley Acuna was named in the newspaper as having had a daughter born to him.)

Just my 2 cents worth.

Anne

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository?

You would be the repository. However I would make sure that the images 
themselves include the date time and location (the cemetery or gps coordinates 
of the grave itself). You will see this is how you would source to sites like 
Billion Graves and Find-A-Grave.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

2016-03-22 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Michael,

Depends on what you are looking at. For the problem that started this thread, I 
would use a spreadsheet and start listing the different John Smiths across the 
top with dates down the left column.  Under each John Smith I add what source 
information (including relationships and locations) that I know about him with 
the date of each source listed on the left.  I continue adding John Smiths 
across the top for any source that I can't for sure tie into an already listed 
John Smith. By the time I've listed all the sources that I can locate, I can 
usually sort most of the records into particular individuals.

You can export almost any set of data into a csv format and pull it directly 
into a spreadsheet program like excel.

Can't you use your tagged list of ancestors and look at each location within 
that tagged list?

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

2016-02-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
All good ideas here. I wanted to toss one out that has a slightly different 
use.  I use the Spanish upside down question mark at the beginning with a right 
side up question mark at the end.  So for these two sisters, if I knew their 
maiden name I would add their father with just their maiden name as his 
surname.  If I had a given name that I thought might be the father, I would add 
that with the question marks around it.  I can't do this on my tablet, or I 
would show you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

2016-02-24 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I think I'm what you call a lumper.  I source from largest location to 
smallest. I've been a little frustrated because the Legacy program wants more 
detailed locations in some cases than the databases warrant. I've altered my 
manner of sourcing to add a lot of the location information in the details 
instead of the Master source.

I would be inclined to enter them with an a.k.a.  Several years into the
future, the next generation may be looking for them..it would
help if both names were on the file.  Just a thought.

Not sure if that's any help in your circumstance, but that's what I would
do.

[LegacyUG] Potential Problems

2015-08-04 Thread Anne Percival Kruszka
I've been stewing about what to do about this issue for some time. I
have several people with potential burial problems and the problems stem
from the following circumstances:

1. Burial took place within a few days of death; person was disinterred
and reburied in a new location; i.e. from a family burial ground to a
new cemetery. I have quite a few people this happened to. They lived in
the Lexington, Kentucky area.

2. Cremation took place but ashes weren't interred for quite some time
afterwards (several instances of this.)

3. Due to weather, person was not interred immediately. Most of these
were due to people not being buried right away because ground was frozen.

I don't want to turn off the potential problem alert, because it helps
in correcting errors. Not sure what would happen if I add an additional
burial event; make a custom re-burial event or used alternate burial event.

Ideas?

Re: [LegacyUG] Latest update caused errors - Issue with Bold and Underline

2015-03-22 Thread Anne Wiltshire
Hello

I just printed off a Family Group Record and have the “ \u\ulnone” in my 
General notes but no words in the notes are underlined but are bolded.  The \u 
and \ulnone does not show up when viewing General notes – it is only seen in 
the printed version.
I have tried deleting the text and using another line to retype but it is still 
there.

I just did the latest update and now all my bold and underlines in my notes are 
still in bold, but the underline is putting "/ul' at the beginning and at the 
end it is putting "/ulnone.

What is wrong?  How can I get it fixed?
Thanks
Margaret

RE: [LegacyUG] Locations: towns in multiple counties?

2015-02-19 Thread Anne Scott
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback.

OK, Jessica, you lose.  You have a much worse problem than the one I have. ;)

Sounds like I need to be more aware of where cities/towns can be in multiple 
counties.  I had been laboring under the misconception that there was always a 
one-to-one connection between counties and cities/towns (at least for a given 
point in time).  Silly me!

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locations: towns in multiple
counties?



I have one that straddles state lines. Springhill, Webster, Louisiana - or
Springhill, Columbia County, Arkansas.

To make it even worse, the Springhill Cemetery there NOW is in Louisiana.
The ORIGINAL is in Arkansas.

So when I have this issue I include in the NOTES section, a blurb about the
two similar, but different, locations, and in parenthesis I include any
postulating on my part; ex (probably Webster Parish, but not confirmed
2/17/15).

I also have this issue with Shiloh Cemeteries, as there are about a dozen
within fifty miles of each other, all in different towns and varying parishes in
Louisiana. So I just make very detailed notes.

If I have an absolute confirmation, I put that in the appropriate field,
but if there is any doubt, I always add the other possible locations to my notes
so I don't continue to postulate without results.

  Jerry,

She is talking about cities that are in two

Like New London, Wisconsin

do you use New
  London, Outagamie, Wisconsin
or  New London, Waupaca, Wisconsin.

It's about 50/50 land spread between the counties.

and
  Appleton, Wisconsin

could be Appleton, Calumet,
  Wisconsin
or  Appleton, Outagamie, Wisconsin

even
  tho' less than 4% of the city is in Calumet County (and it's the county seat
  for Outagamie. )

which one should you use when you may have
  documentation but no distinction to which county it should be.

[LegacyUG] Birth parents vs. adoptive parents

2015-02-18 Thread Anne Scott
How does one "prove" a set of birth parents in the case of an adopted child 
where a new birth certificate was issued?  I've thought of looking for birth 
registers and newspaper articles.  Are there other resources?

Please feel free to point me at other resources/user groups if this isn't the 
appropriate place to ask this question.  Also, how could I use the Research 
Guidance tool to help me find places to look?

Thanks,
Anne

[LegacyUG] Locations: towns in multiple counties?

2015-02-17 Thread Anne Scott
I went to record an obituary source late last week and wanted to add the city 
name and county name of the newspaper to my source record.  Unfortunately, the 
city straddles multiple counties.  After a bit of research, I discovered that 
there are many towns and cities in Colorado that straddle county boundaries.

For my specific case, the newspaper is modern so I can look up the street 
address and record the appropriate county based on the newspaper address.

What suggestions does this group have for handling this situation when all you

[LegacyUG] Name list Index View

2015-01-18 Thread Anne Picketts
I'm hoping someone can offer an answer to the following:

Up until doing a recent upgrade, I had all the details of an individual on
the right hand side of the name index, i.e. birth, death, marriage etc.
Since upgrading, that part of the screen is completely blank - and totally
frustrating.

I have been right through the Options, but can't find a way to get that
information back into the 'Detail' of the individual.  There is no problem
with the other five tabs - Edit, Events, Notes, Family etc.  Working on a
very large database, I rely a lot on that detail field.

How do I get it back?

Thanks for any help.

Anne

RE: [LegacyUG] Research Guidance

2014-10-18 Thread Anne Eccles
Thank you for your reply Patsy. the idea of building our own toolbox of 
websites to check is a great idea. I do have my favourite websites that I use 
and they change for individuals depending upon where people lived at various 
times.  I just feel that I am not utilizing the Research Guidance and the 
to-do-list as well as I could. As my current toolbox/website list is in my 
head, it would be nice to have a list that I can check against, in case I 
forget something. At the moment I don't belong to a society for various 
reasons. I have just joined the Aus-Legacy group so I am happy to continue the 
discussion there if you like.thanks Anne

Anne, Let me share my favourite WWI site with you. Once you have the National 
Archives of Australia item barcode for your veteran download their WHOLE record 
in ONE action at http://dhistory.org/archives/naa/ .I tend not to use Legacy’s 
Research Guidance as the Australian genealogical societies seem to do this 
quite well. For example, the Society of Australian Genealogists  
(http://www.sag.org.au/) have a webinar for members on the Australian War 
Memorial archives on 22 October.However, Chris’s comments about how to add our 
own websites into a workaround research toolbox in effect in Legacy Family Tree 
reminded me of Thomas MacEntee’s webinar Building a Research Toolbox (see 
http://www.familytreewebinars.com/ on  6 April 2011) so perhaps building our 
own research toolboxes and sharing these as Research Guidance may be something 
to think about and discuss. Indeed, when I reflect, my talk to the Genealogical 
Society of Victoria (http://www.gsv.org.au/) on 6 November is really about 
sharing part of my own personal research toolbox. Also, Meg Bate’s facebook 
page on VicGUM (http://www.vicgum.asn.au/ ) often has posts on sites that we 
might incorporate into our own personal research toolboxes. Perhaps, I get 
ahead of myself and the websites above really do form part of our General 
Research Guidance. I think the Australian Legacy list is the more appropriate 
medium for discussing this further (join us at 
aus-legacy-l-requ...@rootsweb.com if you aren’t already a member) – after 6 
November. RegardsPatsy(Fitzroy, Vic) From: Chris Bayley

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Research Guidance Anne,

I too have also thought it would be great to be able to add your own research 
sites. My work around to this is 2 fold.

- Try changing the default country for an individual by going to options in 
research guidance. Save & go back to options and select refresh RG results. I 
have obtained extra sources at times by selecting Australia & NZ depending on 
your timeline events.

 - Set up your own research sites using the To do list. Select add to create a 
to do item, add a category & locality (or add your own). Then select add under 
the repository tab and enter the name & address details plus copy & paste your 
site URL to the home pg field. Once saved the URL is active and can be used 
from the repository tab itself or from the double arrow icon at the end of the 
home pg field.

Hope this helps.

Chris (Auckland, NZ)

I agree Sue but for the purposes of this report, I might not know who the 
father or mother is and in some cases the person has 4 children, I have been 
given the children's names but not the name of the husband/partner and I don't 
know if there is one partner or multiple partners. Anne

Thank you for your reply Cathy. I followed your suggestions and I was still 
getting the "had a relationship with someone." I could get it to change if I 
changed the wording in the marriage information area> wording options. I was 
hoping to be able to do the change thought the options > customise area as 
there are a lot of people to change if wording for and I would rather leave it

[LegacyUG] Default Marriage Wording

2014-06-20 Thread Anne Eccles
Hi, I am doing a descendant narrative report and would like to change the 
default marriage wording. thanks to previous posts, I have found the 
options>customise area to go to to  make the change, but when I try to change 
the wording, then save, the settings return back to the default wording.
Currently when someone is not married, I get something like this – Sharon 
married someone. She had 4 children Brett, Louise, Tom and Mary. I would like 
to leave out the “Sharon married someone” as I don’t know if she was married or 
not and I don’t know if she had one partner or 4, I only know that she had 4 
children and their names.
Is it possible to change this setting or not.
thanks for your help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Errors with Update to 8.0.0.427

2014-05-31 Thread Anne Picketts
It is interesting that this topic has come up.  Yesterday, I attempted to
use Legacy 8 and received the message that there was an update to be
installed.  I downloaded the update and received an error message to say
that my "Version was 4 Feb 2014, expected Version 17 May 2014.  To fix this
problem you should re-install Legacy.  Go to our web site to get the latest
version"

I have done that 3 times; I have also un-installed Legacy and started
again, but I'm still getting the same message.  However, Legacy will
eventually open.  But why the error message?

Any comments from anyone?

Ann, I think you are right to be concerned about the name difference. When
you merge, the automatic detection of duplicates will not catch true
duplicates if the names are different beyond the first few characters
(settable). I don't know if AKA names will trigger a suspected duplicate.
That would help, if the AKAs are all set properly. Otherwise, since you will
inevitably have to choose which name you want to be the main name for each
individual, after all the merging is done, you might as well set these names
before the merge. You could do so in either the incoming or the target file,
as long as you enable the merge to discover candidate duplicates for you to
process one by one.

Yes that's right.

You only use Gedcoms to transfer to an earlier

Dear Cathy

Thank you for your response and its clarity.

I assume he would import as a Legacy file and not a gedcom?

With thanks

To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com
Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Two files

Hi Anne,

Let me see if I understand what he is wanting to do.

He has 3 files.

1) His original file

2) The file of his new contact

3) The new file he created to make sense of the new data.

He is now wanting to combine 1 & 3 as 1 has other lines as well?

So the answer is to import 3 into 1 and then do a
merge of the people who are the same.

Depending on the new file, it may be easier to
delete the branch from the original file (File 1)
and import File 3 to take the place of that
branch. Once imported the links can be made
between the people in the two files and any
remaining duplicates merged. If there are a lot
of duplicate people and he wants to replace the
originals with the ones from File 3 then that
would be the simplest way. However if he wants
some information from the person in File 1 and
some from the same person in File 3 then you have
to use the merge dialogue and choose which bits of each you want.

The main thing is to do a backup of each file
before you start - and make sure you can restore
them (remember to give the file a new name so it
doesn't overwrite the original file). Then it
doesn't matter what happens with the importing
and merging as you can start again. There's
nothing like doing a merge to learn how best to do it.

One trick is to make sure to use the option on
importing a file to start the RINs at a much
higher number than the RINs in the original file.
Then during the merge you can easily tell who
comes from which file. It also helps you decide
whether the pair presented are the same person
and need to be merged. If they come from the same
file, they probably are not duplicates and can be skipped.

Once you've finished the import and merge you can
use the Tools Renumber RINs to get rid of gaps in the RINs.

I'm not sure what your concern is re the merge.
You can choose which information you keep and
with the main name you can choose to make the
variant an AKA and with vital event dates that
are different you can choose to keep both by
choosing to make one an Alt. Event eg Alt.
Birth.  A little square is next to the field name
for names, dates and locations. Clicking on it
gives you options of what to do with the data
that hasn't been chosen with the radio button.

The merge shouldn't lose data. There is a problem
I think with merging identical individual special
events in that the sources are not necessary
merged. In the situation you are describing, that
probably is not going to be an issue.

As I said, the best way to find out what can be
done is to do it. If you have proper backups, you
can always abandon what you've done and start again.

[LegacyUG] Two files

2014-04-28 Thread Anne Wiltshire
Hello

I am attempting to assist a friend who has Legacy. I am not at all conversant 
with Merging, single instances only, or importing a file either gedcom or 
legacy database.

Recently he was contacted by someone who is of the same tree as him with 
European roots.

On looking at his tree and theirs and the large numbers of surname variants, 
some of which he had no record of and he therefore decided to start a new 
database.

There were several cases of same surnames marrying with a few years of each 
other and varying other issues dates etc. which again led him to believe he 
needed to begin
again with a separate tree to assist him to sort them all out.

Having now finished this (and finding out he had connected his own line to one 
of the many same name marriages) he now has a correct tree in the “new” file.

His problem is how does he get the new file into his own tree.

I have read the Merge files section of help and feel this may not solve the 
problem as I am not sure that this will cope with the differences, particularly 
with the names.

I hope my explanation is clear enough and would appreciate any advice regarding 
this problem.

Thank you Wendy !

When I said I sent a message I meant that I fulfilled the requirementsof

I got acknowledgement and a "Thank you "  each time.

[LegacyUG] New Grave Marker

2014-03-24 Thread Anne dyson
My husband's cousin recently refurbished their mutual grandparent's grave. This 
included adding a new plaque showing their names, dates of death and ages. This 
information was obtained from their death certificates and from personal 
knowledge. He sent us photographs of this work and gave permission by email for 
us to use them.

What do you think is the best way to add this information to my tree? I am 
inclined towards a custom fact and excluding it from Potential Problems (it is 
over fifty years since they died). Is this the best way to record this or have 
you any other suggestions please?

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations

2014-03-18 Thread Anne Picketts
Cathy, Mike & Ron

Perhaps I should explain why I use the Master Lists Cleanup prior to doing
a check and repair (but always a backup before and after). But of course,
if one doesn't notice a 'mishap' until several days after it has happened,
a previous backup is not much use, especially when families are being added
to the db every day). I've been using Legacy since 'day 1' and have never
had this problem with the Cleanup list.

Our data base used to be held on several dos based Pedigree (some of you
will know just how far back that goes!)  We started using Legacy about 2002
and all of the Pedigree files had to be transferred and merged. Up until
then, several different people had been entering families - that was a
recipe for disaster.  Some folk wrote Nova Scotia, some wrote NS, some
wrote NS;.  This style applied to many locations - merging and correcting
was a very time consuming job, and in fact is still going on.  As well as
that problem, burials had been written as (e.g.) Helensville,
HelensvilleCemetery,
Helensville Cemetery RSA, Glorit Cem, Helensville Cem., Hellensvile, etc.
etc.  With a 90,000+ data base, it is very important to be able list the
locations, or find a location immediately rather than have to spend time
searching through lots of place names (many with an ethnic origin that no
longer exist) that may or may not have included Helensville.  That is just
an example of place names - over the years, I have changed the locations
(using Helensville as an example) to Helensville, Auckland, NZ and put the
name of the cemetery in the Burial notes - makes for a much tidier and more
efficient Locations index list.  (I seem to remember a discussion about
this very thing a few weeks back).  Whatever one does, there must be some
sort of conformity.

I believe it is important to "think ahead" and hopefully, make it straight
forward for whoever may follow me in keeping the database up to date and
easy to find a location.

These days, we have one person only entering.

I hope you can see my reasoning in using the Master Lists Cleanup function,
and I hope I've explained it logically.  As said - I have never had this
problem previously, but I will *not* be using it again, which means that
over time, I will end up with a lot of unwanted location areas, full stops,
commas, abbreviations that should be in full, spelling errors, etc. etc.

Thanks for your responses.

Anne

Yes - I was doing a Master Lists Cleanup and left it for some time after
the 'Not responding' msg.  Thinking back, I think the programme just closed
down after a while - without any help from me.
