Re: [LegacyUG] uploading legacy information to the web
I chose Legacy because it generates its own web pages and imbeds the pictures. No messing with geds. Just need a host, ftp program and maybe a basic web editor. It's not perfect and there are lots of things that I would lie to see added (i.e. relationships to base person) but for a basic presence on the Internet it works. Bernie On 27/10/2014 4:32 PM, Jerry wrote: I asked the same question the other day and was told by support and several others that there is no web-based version of Legacy Family Tree and I guess they are not that interested in developing one. It's a shame because it would only add to the stature of Legacy, not detract from it in any way. But TNG is not really a competitor to Legacy because they are specifically designed for a web presence and, as far as I know, they are the best thing available for a web-based presence on your own website. Many, many people, not just a few - use Legacy on their desktops and TNG on their websites, including me.   Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Thank you Cathy. Just your mentioning that there was some sort of option for MRINs made me look at the customize option. I played with it a bit and got a report that closely resembles what I wanted.

The Spouse's MRIN returns the MRIN for all spouses whereas for the name of the spouse you have to specify which spouse.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging marriages
Your solution, Ron, is actually going the wrong way for what I wanted, moving up the lines not down. There is probably a solution for that using your methodology. Legacy appears to tag individuals for the purposes of marking the direct lines (bold names and +) as well as colour coding the grandparent lines. If any of these showed up in the Marriage List, I wouldn't need to ask. I could just scroll down, see the appropriate indication, and do what I need to do. These are the same pieces of data but seem to be divorced from each other (pun somewhat intended ). I don't know anything about how the programming works, but is there a way to have this relationship? Bernie On 10/01/2014 8:29 PM, Kathy Thompson wrote: That's Easy??

[LegacyUG] Tagging marriages
I would like to tag all direct ancestor marriages to tagged 8th and 9th generation grandparents. I have them tagged #1 and have a search list. Is there a way to use this to tag the intervening marriages as marriage tag #1. This presumes that the tags are different between general and marriage tags. If not I can use a different tag #. I would like to use the tags as a research guide and not have to work down the marriage list (8400) one by one, not knowing right off, which are direct ancestors and which are 5th cousins 5x removed. Any pointers to directions or assistance is appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing icons

With Legacy v8 and the changes that brings with it, I've noticed that some of the icons for the couple in focus in Family View are not entirely visible (where they used to be in v7) with the window being half of the screen's size, but I can hover the cursor over the little bit of the icon I can see, and the familiar box pops up telling me what that icon is.

Re: [LegacyUG] Shared events
Like you I have been playing with Shared Events but am having trouble with the sentence definition. I have looked at the PDF manual and help but am still stumped as to how to proceed. I have created individual census events (i.e. Census - Canada Census 1916, Census - United States 1880, etc.). I have created various roles in these Events as the need arises, such as wife, child (not son or daughter), father, mother, etc. I would like a sentence something like: Canada Census 1916 shows John Doe(head) residing in [place] with wife (wife) and child(ren) and who ever else is shared When I try to make the sentence it does not pick up the wife but re-enters the head. It does not seem to find the individual roles. How would I construct this to show what I want, including all roles without having to enter every role individually to the definition when I cannot see how many there are (listing 6 children, a father and stepmother - for example). I looked forward to this function, specifically for Census events, but until I can get a handle on this one, I would have to reconsider it for other events. Thanks for you help and kudos to the developers and staff at Legacy. Bernie On 09/12/2013 2:13 PM, C.G.

Kim mentions issues with Sentence Overides and I agreed until I FINALLY realized the Sentence Overide tab in the event itself should be left untouched; it seems that any change to this prevents event updates to be reflected by those sharing the event. Instead, got to Event Definition in Master Lists. For each Event there is the standard Event Sentence Definition AND AND AND a separate tab for the Shared Event Sentence Definition which by the way can be set for each role in the shared event. C.G.

[LegacyUG] In the beginning..
Have been reading all the postings since the release of L8 and have made my purchase, received my number and 'flipped through' the manual. I am missing something. I have L7 Deluxe and am preparing to migrate my databases to L8 (good project for Monday and Tuesday when the wind will be howling, the snow will be falling and a temp of -30C). I have backed up all my DBs. Do I import the L7 DB or the backup? As I understand it, if I import the L7 DB then I will no longer be able to access it with L7. Yes?

I did not know about control-shift +. I have tried several ged to html editors and they each have their own pluses and minuses. I especially like one that indicates the direct relationship to a root person, much like Legacy does in the program but is missing in the webpages.

That's just another learning obstacle after learning the basics of HTML editing. One can safely throw out any mention of a CSS and revert back tofont size=14 tags (or similar sizes) within the actual HTML document. But just to be fair, the World Wide Consortium regards the use offont size tags to be outdated. But then again every web browser still supports the tag. In fact, go to the home page of LegacyFamilyTree.com and you'll find a mix of CSS and dozens offont size= tags within the home page. So, as mentioned, you can: (1) just leave the created HTML pages alone and let the viewers zoom in if they need (2) learn a little bit of HTML and increase font size where you feel necessary (using thefont size tag) (3) if you're a purist, then learn HTML and the use of CSS which allows for easy global changes to all of your HTML pages.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
Ron, When you click on a location, the program tries to find it geographically. It goes into thinking mode (in my case), the little circle goes round and round until it is done. Then you can click to edit or whatever else you need to do. Then you click on the redundant location you want to combine and again it's thinking. Finds the same information it did on the first location. Once it stops, then you can combine. Also, the program sometimes comes up with some weird connection, such as a location in Ontario, Canada somehow gets connected to a location in the USA. As far as I know they are still part of Canada even though they don't always act like it (I'm in the west). What it does to some English locations is sometimes quite laughable.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree 8 Revealed - Automated Sorting
Hurry up with the release before my wife finds the pennies I have squirreled away for this and spends them on something really unneeded. In your example, were the marriages concurrent, like some of the Mormon families in my families? I haven't tried a Timeline on such a family, but wonder if the children would be listed in order of their birth, with reference to the correct mother/wife?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
I have turned off 'Show Map' but it makes no difference. I am editing the Locations list, combining myriads of duplicated locations. File maintenance does not seem to deal with it since it does not recognize the minute differences (i.e. commas). At this stage I do not necessarily need Legacy to put the 'V' in, I just want to combine and not take until Legacy 10 comes out, to finish it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
DSL I understand the V for the L column. Thank you Tessa for the tip. It seems to be speeding up the process. Just have remember to turn it back on later. I also discovered that one can combine more than one location at a time by using the Shift or Control key. Thanks to all Bernie On 09/09/2013 12:40 PM, Sherry/Support wrote: Are you on dial-up or broadband connection? I don't know what you mean to put the 'V' in, Are you referring to the V for verification in the L column for latitude and longitude? That's done when you geo-code the locations. You don't need maps showing if you're combining duplicates. File File Maintenance Check/Repair doesn't combine anything. Under the Options button on the Master Location List you can combine duplicates, but they must be *exact* duplicates for Legacy to combine them. The only time Legacy reads anything other than the database is when it's reaching out to Bing maps to pull up the latitude and longitude and draw maps through Bing. You can also do that through the Geo Location Database but you have to do one at a time and it's not as accurate as Bing.

[LegacyUG] Relationship calculator print
I recently added a database of my wife's maternal family, a database that originally got me interested in genealogy. I notice that there were some familiar surnames that seemed to related to a 3rd cousin of mine that I had found last year. I tracked these names through FS and other sources and BINGO, she turned out to be my wife's 6th cousin. Now, when I try to create a text file of the relationship calculator I get a runtime 0005 error and the program crashes. I tried this twice with the same result. Has anyone encountered this and is there is solution? What I what to do is put this relationship plus my relationship on my blog so I need a text document that I can play with to format. There doesn't seem to be a report for this. Any thoughts or advice gratefully received.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship calculator print
Just fixed my own problem. There was little button that referred to the current relationship that needed to be checked. The default is all relationships and that is too much to for the system when you have 30,000 in the db. It takes long enough for Legacy to work through all those people just to do the relationship between the two highlighted people.

Re: [LegacyUG] import/export into Excel
Kathy, I think the issue is Microsoft .Net Framework 4 vs Microsoft .Net Framework Client. I want it to give me the relationship, not just say blood relation. In Legacy Index View you have what appears to be a spreadsheet and you can vary the columns, including adding one that gives the relationship to the root person. The index report itself only gives the name, relationship and date range. I use a complete spreadsheet to put on the webpage with highlights showing the documented event. It also helps me see at a glance what documentation I still have to chase. Thanks for your help. Bernie On 03/09/2013 5:28 PM, Kathy Thompson wrote: Bernie, I've just double checked the blood relation bit you mentioned - Direct Ancestors is what you want for what you describe as actual relation. Blood relations are anyone who shares the same ancestors as you. Other than that, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve.

It seems the download is only 10KB, definitely no where near the advertised size of 13561K. Also, I have never dealt with Microsoft ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library.

[LegacyUG] 2nd hand sources
I recently found an online database at RootsWeb that has relevance to my wife's family. In the database they provide sources for various pieces of information. My question would be - can I cite the original source they provide, or should I use the the database as source. I don`t want to tread on toes but would like to have genuine sources. Through this db I discovered that my maternal 3rd cousin is also 6th cousin to my wife.

Re: [LegacyUG] Version 8
The limitation of split view vs. separate windows, is that you can only open one detail view at a time. For instance you cannot compare two individual's information or source pages. You can open separate windows in that 'other program' with full functionality in each (but I still prefer Legacy).

In Legacy you are using one database except in split screen view where you can have two different databases open.

[LegacyUG] Events description
I noticed today that there is an interesting difference between the standard events (birth,Christening, marriage, death and burial) and the added events. The added events have a description field that is missing from the standards. With added events, for example, I can enter a confirmation event with the date, place and with the description I can enter the church name. This way I get a statement (amended) that would read that Susie Q was confirmed at XY church on Jan 1, 1901 in Such, Country. So why do the standard events not have a description field so that one could get Susie Q was baptised at XY Church on Jan 1, 1901 in Such, Country or John Q buried in MM graveyard on Jan 1 1901 in Such, Country or John Q and Susie Q were married in XY Church on Jan 1, 1901 in Such, Country? Or am I missing something altogether? At the same time I noticed that the added event has two small columns of which one indicates that there is a source given. This would be nice to see beside the standard events as well. I would also envision that the source could be noted as an S1, S2, S3 or S4 indicating the level of the source as input on the source citation.

In some locations (especially if a proposed marriage involved either a man and woman relocating from a different governing jurisdiction) the couple had to prove they were capable of having a child (by having one) prior to a decision on whether relocation to the other jurisdiction was or was not allowed to occur, and prior to a “marriage†being approved to occur (either by either the church or the civil jurisdictions or both). *From:*Larry Lee [mailto:ldlee...@gmail.com] *Sent:* Tuesday, June 18, 2013 10:24 AM *To:* LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com *Subject:* Re: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8 John, etal, I have seen this discussion several times in the past and presented my thoughts to the compendium.

I also prefer not to put minutiae in my notes for things the program should accommodate. So, I agree. Relationship window is more correct.

Re: [LegacyUG] Appropriate ancestral town location
I have similar issues with German locations before the unification. Documentation is based on the locations used at the time so States such as Prussia now do not exist. I also have issues with locations in the Baltic States where the documentation refers to the German name for the location but in order to find the place, the program needs the current identification to find it on the map. It is nice to be able to locate the place to see where they may have moved to or what other places are nearby. It would be nice to have and option to add an alternative name (as used in the person options) and have it linked to the current geo location.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage Search
How about a more complicated search? I know that somewhere in my database are siblings that were born within the same calendar year - but I can't remember anything about them. I want to do a blog about the rarity of this event but don't have the starting point - who they are? Might even work for finding twins. Any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Historic Surnames
I was thinking of opening this line of discussion at some time as I have also pondered how to best handled the vons, van ders, etc in Legacy. Putting the von in the surname comes out OK in reports (as far as I can tell) but it appears as the surname when you do an Internet search of FamilySearch, either site. But, if you put the von as prefix or suffix it just doesn't look right in the Family View. I have several the Elder, the Younger or even I-II-III and use the suffix for this. I do use the prefix for Doctor, Professor, or noble title. Lee - I was thinking of Ivan the Terrible as an example, but yours is better. There is so much to learn in switching to Legacy that it is sometimes overwhelming, but these discussions have been helpful. Thanks to all.

Re: [LegacyUG] GenDexNetwork.org Supports Legacy Gendex Files
I actually thank him for his post. Quite indirectly it led me to a government archive of church records and have so far found the marriage record for my paternal 3rd great grandparents.

[LegacyUG] New to Legacy
I have recently purchased the latest version of Legacy Family Tree having used Family Tree Maker for years. There are many functions in both that I appreciate but also differences that can be confusing. To start with I have two questions: 1. What is the best way for Legacy to handle von or von der? I am not totally pleased with the way name prefix or suffix does this. I would prefer to have the main part of the name, i.e. Bruck rather than von Bruck, but still have the von recorded. This does significantly affect the search on FamilySearch. 2. On import of .ged file there seemed to be some errors that placed dates or other information in the places database. I have corrected the individual records but these false places are still listed and I can't find a way to erase them.
