[LegacyUG] Media - Picture File Extension

[Bill Hoff]

 iPhone converts pictures received or taken to an “heic” extension. Legacy does 
not support. Don’t really want to change phone application as a jpg file takes 
more storage it’s said. Tried saving the heic file on PC to jpg file but Legacy 
still won’t accept. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Name Question

[Bill Hoff]

I leave blank. If you enter unknown or ? a warning displays in that report. Now 
maybe that can be altered, I’ve not looked for that possibility yet.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10?

[Bill Peterson]

I believe RootsMagic will directly import from Legacy - no need for an 
intermediate GEDCOM file.

If RootsMagic is installed on the same computer and your images linked

you then, at some point, move or rename these linked images, you will 
encounter the same situation as you would in Legacy. RootsMagic, like 
Legacy, only links to the images.

Just to close the loop on my question regarding unicode

Support...

/We have not been told the full features of Legacy 10 and
you are correct; nothing is set in stone.  That being
said, I am pretty confident that full Unicode support will
not be in Legacy 10.  Full Unicode support would require a
complete rewrite of Legacy using a different coding base. 
I have not been told of any plans for a full rewrite in
Legacy 10./

So it looks like I need to migrate my tree to another

Legacy users,

I have a question about Legacy and GEDCOM exports.

It appears that the most recent version of Legacy 9 is
9.0.0.*393*. I am using Legacy 9.0.0.*339* so I plan
to upgrade to get to the latest version.

When I export a GEDCOM file, I see these records at
the top that indicate the file was written by Legacy 9:

0 HEAD

1 SOUR Legacy

*2 VERS 9.0*

That seems correct.

However, another Legacy user sent me a GEDCOM file
with this version information:

0 HEAD

1 SOUR Legacy

*2 VERS 10.0*

*Is there a Legacy 10?*I looked on the
LegacyFamilyTree.com site and I don't see any mention

Re: [LegacyUG] Survey - Syncing

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

What app do you use to 'sync' Legacy between your MAIN computer and a
SECONDARY computer?

What do you feel is the advantage of your choice vs another app?

1a. DROPBOX (via cloud) for  Legacy data and media, and

1b. EVERNOTE (via cloud) for Research

2. Advantage "set it and forget it"


OTHER:  For backup I use ACRONIS to create two (2) regularly scheduled
backups:

1. local NAS, and
2. Acronis Cloud.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cenotaph

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

My 2 cents:

EVENT  sounds like the way to go.

There could be more than one Cenotaph, for example one in a family plot and
one or more included in a veterans memorial.

Another similar situation might be entering cenotaphs for those lost in the
sinking of ship like the Titanic.

Face up, it would be rare, as an example, for the now United States to have 
correct location data entered in files given history of who controlled, or

say incorrectly.

Then one cannot find on a map if historic locations used. With many relatives 
in West Virginia I have this problem. WV did not become a state until June 20, 
1863.  On top of that many counties within the state were divided over many 
years, far too many for me to recall them all. Then there is the problem of 
knowing locations but not dates so one cannot be certain of entries

Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

I think the usual guidance is to use what location was called at the time
of the event you are recording.  The date becomes important aspect of
location and locating the repository.

As repositories move and consolidate, in order to find the records, you
need to know where your record of interest started life.   Then, follow the
lineage of the repository through its life to the time you are searching
for it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

I do agree.

My standard is:   [1. local jurisdiction/repository i.e.township, village,
city, etc], 2.County, 3.State, 4.Country
and apply to other countries similarly by always using three commas for all
locations [usually each has a repository of genealogical data] .  The entry
might between comma's might be null if I don't have the information.  For
example born in USA might be ", , , USA".  I know I have some research to
do but I only record what I have from that source.

For folder hierarchy and some naming situations I reverse the order but
always hold to 4 elements for location.  I don't believe I have ever had an
exception.  I am sure I will learn about one here.  So far this works for
me.

Subject: [LegacyUG] child - Parent linking

 

Hello

 

I an trying to figure out the following issue in Legacy

 

I have a couple that were married and had no children.

They divorced

The mother had a child by another man, but I do not want to show the father.

Each time I run my Descendants list it shows the child as a child of the 
marriage.

I am unable to disassociate the child from the marriage.

Removing the child and changing the marriage to “This couple has no Children” 
and then adding the child back in does not work.

It again shows the child as being born to the parents of the marriage. 

 

Any ideas of how to get around this?

 

Thank You

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.

I also use TCGR to create reports but so far, I 've just created PDF and I have

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

We will have to inform TCGR of the incompatibility of the program with W10…. if 
it is a W10 issue. I am using W7. Because W10 is relatively (!) new, there 
might be an extra requirement (update, add-on, registry setting) needed for/in 
W10. Anyone using TCGR on W10?

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.

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?

If you put them in notes it will work.

To use the ones from the Media Gallery needs a programming change which is why 
I said to send in the suggestion as I can't check at the moment to see if it's

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Media File

[Bill Hoff]

To Cathy, Brian, Chris and Jay
 Got it!  Thanks to all of you for your help. I would never have been 
able to do this. 
 I’ve got to do the same thing with another computer in January or more 
likely February.  I did have one glitch right at the very last step and could 
not link but drug to file to another location and that worked. Would be nice to 
avoid the dragging as I’m not exactly certain what I did. 
 Again thanks so very much. 
Best regards,
Bill

Re: [LegacyUG] Moving Media File

[Bill Hoff]

Cathy and Bryan 
  I’ve probably made a real mess of things on the new computer. What I did—
  First, from the Windows 7 I “saved” both the data and the media “file” from 
Legacy upon closing to a flash drive.  That created two zip files. One the data 
and one the media. 
 Second,  On the Windows 10 I “restored” the data file and that worked. 
  Third, I tried to “restore” the media file, that’s not allowed. From a user 
group message dealing with older versions of Windows I read about extracting 
Zip files and having seen message about using Win Zip “extracted” the media. 
That’s when I think I linked to the Windows 10 data file on the laptop. 
  Lastly, after that I’ve tried different things all unsuccessful and probably 
created the mess.  All suggestions welcome?  And thanks much. 
Bill

Re: [LegacyUG] Swap Split Screen Windows

Interesting. I'm still using Win 7 on laptop and have a second monitor. Use it 
all the time including with Legacy. I will be buying a replacement laptop with 
Win 10 all in one soon. Wife uses Win 10 and additional monitor at work but not

  I do have a second little used laptop all in one with Legacy installed for

Re: [LegacyUG] File Name Issue - Conflicted Copy

[Bill Hoff]

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] File Name Issue - Conflicted Copy

 

Bill:

 

I would not delete any files yet.

 

Do you have a backup of your database before this took place?  If so, I would 
restore that or start using that database.

If not, you will probably just have to open the last non-conflicted database 
and then do a File, Save As, and give it a new name - I like to use a name and 
date as part of the file name, e.g., Bill_Hoff_Family_25July17.fdb.

 

You may have lost some work when this all took place, so you will want to check 
areas that your were working on to see if the data is what you expect.  I would 
make sure the renamed database seems to be ok before I deleted the conflicting 
file.

 

The Media files can be stored in a separate location.  So they might be on 
Drive C:\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media\.  Normally, your database is 
stored at:  C:\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\

 

If you have moved your data to DropBox, I would recommend a similar folder 
structure:

\DropBox\Legacy Family Tree\Data\&

\DropBox\Legacy Family Tree\Media\ 

 

You will need to created those DropBox subfolders.

 

Here is the techie stuff as to why you had conflicting files:

1. Legacy runs on a single computer and their database is not network 
concurrent record change compatible.

2. To have multiple computers (users) accessing a file (database) at the same 
time, there has to be several rules implemented that lock out other users while 
one user is changing a record in the database — you cannot have multiple people 
changing the same database record concurrently.  Legacy does not implement such 
network / database rules and I am sure never will.

 

Bottom line, “YOU" have to control access to your database one person at a 
time.  So, if you have a Laptop & Desktop, only use one of those while having 
your Legacy database open.  Make sure you close Legacy on one computer before 
going to the other computer to open the database and wait a few minutes until 
the file are synced in DropBox and all computers.   Some people say they hardly 
ever close Legacy — that is a mistake in my opinion, it should be closed every 
time you leave your computer for more than say 10-15 minutes.

Looks like you may have had the file open using two computers at the same time 
using DropBox or some cloud storage.

If so, the cardinal RULE is:  Use only one computer at a time to work on your 
cloud stored database.  

 

So, if you have your file open on one computer, be sure to completely exit 
Legacy before opening the file on another computer.  You also need to allow 
some time for the database file to sync with the cloud and all computers.  
Normal a few minutes, but depends on the cloud service and your internet speed. 
 With Dropbox, you normal see a file sync notification in upper right of 
screen.  Other cloud services may not be as user friendly or sync as fast a 
DropBox.

Am I doing something wrong or are Legacy hints from everything except

Thanks Cathy.

Customise at 1.2 was already showing the Dropbox data file

I have altered 6.1 and 6.2 defaults

Will see how we go.  When settled, will have to replicate exactly in my laptop.

Bill,

If you delete the Data folder from the Documents folder, it will simply be 
recreated. It holds the Sample file for a start which can be very useful to see 
how someone else has entered data or to use for trying things out or just to 
see whether an error is related to your family file or the program.

In Legacy Options - Customise at 1.2 you tell Legacy which data file to open 
when you open Legacy.
At 6.1 you set your default data folder
At 6.2 you set your default media folder (if you use sub-folders, then the top 
media folder - eg mine is set to D:\Cloud\Dropbox\LegacyMedia\

It works fine with the settings in one place and the data in another. It's 
designed so that you can keep your data and your media wherever you like - but 
it has to know where to find the settings. Legacy has chosen not to hide them 
in \User\...\AppData\Local\... but in a more readily accessible folder for most 
people.

1. I closed Legacy and re-opened.  It defaulted to the Dropbox 
address, Chap, so do need the Customise routine?

2.So, Cathy I had not (yet) moved the AppData folder under Dropbox so 
I will leave it in its default location.  But also delete the Data 
folder from there, to avoid conflicts?

3.The warnings are appreciated Cathy.  I have however been operating 
Brother’s Keeper successfully for some time under the same routine

4.I have not yet attempted a data entry so will be curious as to how 
the program copes with Data under Dropbox but AppData under

Bill,
You'll find that the _AppData folder you've copied will just be a backup.

Legacy requires that folder to be at
...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder and if not found, it 
is recreated with the defaults.
That is the folder that will be updated every time you use Legacy.

This folder includes your settings some of which include paths which

With your data folder in Dropbox, do check for conflicted copies. 
Unless you are careful to wait for upload and download to occur on 
both computers when changing computer AND don't have Legacy open on 
both computers at once, you'll get conflicted copies.
Unless you have very good stable fast internet, it's better to save 
your backups to Dropbox rather than keep your family file there.
Howe ver, if you've got good internet and a little pat ience, it works 
well to have your Data in Dropbox.

Give Dropbox time to sync before opening the file on another computer

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox for new user

[Bill Webster]

Thanks Cathy and Chap.

 

1.  I closed Legacy and re-opened.  It defaulted to the Dropbox address, 
Chap, so do need the Customise routine?

2. So, Cathy I had not (yet) moved the AppData folder under Dropbox so I 
will leave it in its default location.  But also delete the Data folder from 
there, to avoid conflicts?

3. The warnings are appreciated Cathy.  I have however been operating 
Brother’s Keeper successfully for some time under the same routine

4. I have not yet attempted a data entry so will be curious as to how the 
program copes with Data under Dropbox but AppData under Documents.  It seems 
curious.

Many thanks.

Bill

Bill,
You'll find that the _AppData folder you've copied will just be a backup.

Legacy requires that folder to be at
...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder and if not found, it is 
recreated with the defaults.
That is the folder that will be updated every time you use Legacy.

This folder includes your settings some of which include paths which are 
unlikely to be the same on both computers anyway.

With your data folder in Dropbox, do check for conflicted copies. Unless you 
are careful to wait for upload and download to occur on both computers when 
changing computer AND don't have Legacy open on both computers at once, you'll

[LegacyUG] Print Report Formats

[Bill LaBarge]

I have been using Legacy Family since the version 7 years.  I try to use a
number of the reports supplied by the Legacy.  Since the beginning I have
had problems with some of the output formats.  Seems to happen mostly in
the output of the list programs.  In stead of simply listing the "item
name' the program prints the "item name" plus what appears to be a
programing instruction before and after the "item name".  For example: if
the newspaper name New York Times is to be printed the report output will
be \i New York Times \i0 will appear.  At first I thought it might have
something to do with the printer interface but I have gone through several
different kinds of printers and still the same problem.  Unfortunately,
this makes print reports options useless for me.  Anyone have any
suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage List

if you are using another program, the problem may be with that program.

The gedcom should have the information they didn't marry in it if you've 
checked the box that they didn't marry but to be absolutely sure, make the 
Marriage Status for them in Legacy Unmarried.

To see that it's in the gedcom, import it back into Legacy to a new file.

[LegacyUG] Marriage List

[Bill Duxbury]

Hello, I have a person who was with a partner. On that page I have Partners 
indicated and not Husband and Wife. The not married box is also ticked.
Some years later he married another person and that page indicates Husband and 
Wife. The problem is that his spouse link indicates he married the first person 
and this also is recorded as such in the Marriage List.  Is there a way to 
rectify this entry. Thanks, Bill.

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphic info exported through GEDCOM - What am I missing?

[Bill Duxbury]

Denise, I use a program called The Complete Genealogy Reporter. It 
automatically makes hyperlinks in the resulting PDF file. It also automatically 
takes the Gedcom file content and makes various types of display. If the Gedcom 
file has a number of graphics associated with a person the program will display 
all of them linked to that person.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Graphic info exported through GEDCOM - What am I missing?

I recently needed to send information about a few families as a small GEDCOM. 
While I am relatively new to Legacy, I had no problem creating the small GEDCOM 
- except for graphics information. When the GEDCOM was imported (to a couple 
different genealogical applications) the following was found:



1. Internet Website addresses (Media Gallery > Add Media > Internet Website) is 
used to identify from what repository / source database informtion (used in a 
citation) was found. Those ulr addresses, shown in the GEDCOM on different 
lines as an OBJE, FORM URL, _TYPE URL with the address betweend those elements, 
are being imported as though there were graphical images. Possibly the _TYPE 
URL, which if I am not mistaken is a customized Legacy GEDCOM tag, is the 
confusing element.



2. Actual graphic images (census, certificates, etc) are shown in Legacy as a 
master graphic item, with multiple links when used in several locations, were 
apparently being recorded in the GEDCOM as separate, individual graphics, not 
several links to one graphic. Meaning the imported GEDCOM shows multiple copies 
of the same graphic image after import to the other genealogical application.



So, what did I miss when creating the GEDCOM file in Legacy? Is there some 
option I missed that would perhaps turn off the urls being added to the GEDCOM? 
What about the multiple references of images, as though different graphics?



Denise

Margaret, I do not use any of Legacy’s printout facilities but use a program

The resulting PDF displays those with and without photographs. It also

I don't think you can get that list. :(

What you can get is a list of attached media and who it is attached to.
If you save that as a PDF it is searchable.
Reports - Other Reports - Scrapbook OR View - Scrapbook

Choose your options and then the Print Media File List button.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

I barely know enough to be able to fix mouse issues but several years ago 
transferred files from FTM to Legacy. Whatever I did media files followed but 
we're all associated as Individual rather than with any other possibility such 
as a cemetery picture with Burials. Had to sort that out and well remembered as

Re: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] FTM file to Legacy -can SKS act as intermediary, please

Thanks for the FTM update.  I’m not that great with software and file 
conversions, backups and switching use between computers.  I would like to do 
some research while on an extended trip beginning next week but not exactly 
sure how to go about that.  I do have Legacy installed on a Windows 10 computer 
I will be taking with me but I normally work with a Windows 7 computer and 
prefer Windows XP.  I don’t like Windows 10 at all but then I’ve told my kids 
no more devices as gifts please.  Not up to it all any longer.

Bill,

 

No, Ancestry sold FTM (programming code, brand name, etc) to Software MacKiev 
in January of this year. They also provide support and offer upgrade from older 
versions of FTM to their new version of that software. Software MacKiev is 
supposedly ‘partnering’ with Ancestry to rework the Sync system between FTM and 
Ancestry’s online trees. That company is also reworking the FTM 2014 code 
(there has already been a version 2014.1 release) to fix many of the memory 
usage problems with Ancestry’s FTM code, and are supposedly planning a new 
updated version of FTM. Software MacKiev is the developer of the Mac version of 
FTM.

 

The FTM interface has a lot of positive features – for example the Sources tab 
that offers direct access to both sources and citations – along with many 
negatives (for example, no way to locally change an even sentence for one 
individual, only global changes to all uses of an event). 

 

I’ve spent a number of years with TMG (1995-2002), followed by Genbox 
(2002-2013), before using FTM and now looking at transferring totally to 
Legacy. There are many ‘hidden’ differences between FTM and Legacy, for example 
the way each creates, displays, uses, and transfers via GEDCOM married names. 
Even though Genbox was ‘discontinued’ (although still available) the end of 
2007, I still rate that genealogy software as ‘excellent’, well beyond TMG.

I was losing my faculties.
Although downloading the update through the program did not work as it just

If you installed the latest update through the Legacy program itself then no

download and install again.  The file on our website was the old one.  The

[LegacyUG] Legacy Version 8

Is it allowed that Legacy 8 Deluxe Edition which I purchased a couple years
ago be downloaded to a second computer or must I purchase an additional
copy?  I can't seem to break into my Legacy account as the password is not
recognized and can't get a response for help with that as my only email
address I've had since 2005 is not recognized.  All works well with the
Legacy software I use on my home computer, able to download updates without
difficulty, but I want to also have Legacy access to a computer I use when
traveling.  Any help is much appreciated.

I hope you're backing up to the cloud?  Laptops and tablets are so easily 
stolen or broken!

I do have vision problems so that's my biggest concern about the smaller 
screens. So many of the web pages I try to look at won't pinch-to-zoom.

I have Families installed and have a hard time seeing the info in that on my 
7", although it's easier than trying to read it on my phone .

Re: [LegacyUG] Media File Names

[Bill Hoff]

  Well, as to problems, yes and no. Guess I fall into the category age wise as 
to being unlikely to have the file as I'd like before the two children who want 
to inherit do so. Hopefully thats a few years away. In any case, some files are 
linked in Legacy where they should be and some not. They are linked to the 
right person but not necessarily the correct event. This happened when I 
converted my files from other genealogy software because that software upgraded 
and there were problems which I could not overcome. So I chose Legacy which now 
I like much better but have media file issues, see some did not transfer to 
Legacy at all further exasperating the problem.
  I can track all this down and fix but the job has proven to be massive.  
Especially when Legacy upgraded version 8 and the media copy / paste function 
in events stopped working.  I'm about 2/3 rd complete now but it's been around 
six months to get this far along. Some of the files which did transfer have 
file names which are non descriptive, i.e. img. 0007.  Thought as I go thru all 
this I might change the file names. Also for those that did not transfer I 
could change when uploading to Legacy.
  Sorry for the long email and likely my inept description of matters. Also, I 
understand the Legacy copy/paste issue mentioned above is fixed and will be 
later released.
Best regards,
Bill

RE: [LegacyUG] PHOTO IMPORT QUESTION

[Bill Hoff]

Hi Brian,
  I suppose what I was referring to was as a 'blank" was the place holder.  
I've used media re-linker and have now transferred all the linked files into 
the Legacy media file.  From my prior software I had no videos, lots of text 
documents for which some transferred and some did not.  Most went to the wrong 
event but some did not.  There was one audio file, a favorite song of my wife 
who died a few years ago and was very important to me.
  I am presently, well until the copy/paste feature "broke" as reported to me, 
moving media files to the proper events.  In the process I am creating a new 
media file for those that did not link to Legacy and uploading the new file to 
Legacy.  There were about 2,700 media files of which I've been through about  
1,400 and fixed where necessary.  Still a ways to go and it would really help 
if the media "copy/paste" feature in Legacy was working.
  I've been using Legacy about a couple months or so now, like it, but 95% of 
my time thus far has been for "repairs".
Best regards,
Bill

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] PHOTO IMPORT QUESTION

You should always remember that different programs have different ways of doing 
things. Were the "lost" pictures attached to something in the original program 
where Legacy does not allow pictures? We allow pictures/media to be linked to 
many things but there may well be a program out there that attaches media to 
something we do not.

I have no idea what you mean by "blank file blocking viewing primary media" 
Legacy will use a place holder image of a Question mark when it cannot find an 
image file in the location it is expecting the file, is that what you meant by 
a blank file? It also uses place holder images to represent media which are not 
image files such as Documents, Sounds and Videos.

Legacy 8 includes a much improved Media Re-linker which will search your entire 
computer for missing files. If it finds only one copy it will automatically 
revise the file link to point to that found file. If it finds multiple files 
with the same name it will let you choose which file location is the correct 
version of the file.

[LegacyUG] Copy / Cut and Paste Pictures

[Bill Hoff]

Greetings,

  Before upgrading to the latest build, I was able to move a media file from
one event to another by either making a copy or cutting then pasting to a
different media event; even if for a different person.  I can no longer do
that.  What am I doing wrong?

RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry & findagrave

[Bill Hoff]

Hi Bill,

  Not sure of the reason but I cannot link to the internet and Ancestry.com 
from Family Tree Maker or from the internet.  But then I’m a new Legacy user 
having just recently switched from Family Tree Maker.  At the moment I’m 
recovering from a failed hard drive with the new hard drive installed just 
yesterday.  Only trying to use Family Tree Maker until I can get my media files 
scrubbed in Legacy as they did not transfer to Legacy so well.

  So the bottom line is no I can’t get on Ancestry, not sure why, message in 
Family Tree Maker says I’m not online (not true) or firewall blocking – maybe 
so because I’m no computer expert by a long shot, but antivirus software does 
show Family Tree Maker as being allowed.  So I’m unsure why but everything I’ve 
touched for the past few days, well you know how that is!

[Bill]

All of a sudden I can't get into Ancestry.com or findagrave.com from legacy or 
from the internet. Does anybody know if something is going on since ancestry 
bought findagrave.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Set Tag Colors" (Customize 9.2 / Other User-Interface Colors)

[Bill Wilson]

Pretty complicated for a casual user (imo)

Change Colors -> Click here to change other user-interface colors
Other Colors (tab)
Click on the tags
Then you can use a pre-defined set of tags (for example one of the rainbow
selections in the drop-down)
Or...
Right mouse-click on a tag to change the bg color for each tag
Left mouse-click on a tag to change the Tag# color for each tag

[LegacyUG] Media Gather warning

[Bill]

If you want to use the Media Gather tool and you have sub folders in your media 
folder, you will lose all your sub folders. It will gather all your files into 
one big folder.
If you have files with the same name it will put numbers at the end of the 
title to distinguish them from one another.
The Media Gather tool does a great job finding all your media files, but beware 
if you want sub folders.

[LegacyUG] Find A Grave template

[Bill]

 I would like to lump all my Find a Grave sources to one source but I can't 
seem to find the right source template in source writer. The sources, those 
that I found, all have the info I would like as a citation, are in the source. 
This prevents lumping. Does anyone lump their Find A Grave sources?

Re: [LegacyUG] Apostrophe in Filenames

[Bill Wilson]

There are lots of characters to avoid in file names. The apostrophe is not
one of them. IMO, it could be considered a bug.

However, I agree with those that say stick with alpha-numeric and
underscore.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tombstones

[Bill LaBarge]

To all
I have found reference to a lady named Mary Johnson McElheney who led a
very early effort to catalogue several of the St. Charles cemeteries.  This
could in deed be the MJM reference I am looking for.
Thanks to all

Re: [LegacyUG] Tombstones

[Bill LaBarge]

To All
Interesting comments all.  The cemetery that started this all is the St.
Francis Cemetery, St. Francis Catholic Church, Portage des Sioux,
Missouri.  I have not personally seen any of the tombstones but my wife and
will be visiting the cemetery in a couple of months and will check out the
site.  My father's side of the family are Catholic from way back.  The MJM
letters seem to appear on both male and female stones and the referenced
publication also lists their baptisms so I would doubt that any are Jewish.
Thanks again
Bill LaBarge

Re: [LegacyUG] Tombstones

[Bill LaBarge]

Lee Bruch
Thank you for your response.
The MJM were found in a publication of Land Between the Rivers Historical
Society, Portage des Sioux, MO.  In the Tombstone Inscription section,
several of the stones have the letters MJM  listed as part of the "other
information on stone" data.  Also included in the "other information" are
the names of spouses or children which would indicate to me that the grave
site was used for more than one person.  The stone dates are in the
1800's.  I have also found several other online Cemetery sites databases
that use the MJM letters.  The cemetery sites that I have found have all
been in Missouri - I don't if the letters is unique to the area or not.
Thanks again - Bill LaBarge

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy

[Bill Wilson]

I use the Families app on my IPad and iPhone. It works great for being able
to take your family with you wherever you go. All my pictures and documents
and events transfer from the PC to both devices. Everything seems to be
there which is great. As a personal preference I consider my PC as the gold
standard for my family data so as a personal preferenceI never transfer
from my moblie devices to my PC. Also, the functions for maintaing, adding
and deleting information using the Families app is seriousely lacking when
you compare it to Legacy on the PC. I would definitely not recommend
Families as your primary database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Name / Nickname entry / 2nd SURNAME entry

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Concerning names:

How do you handle in Legacy an individual who has a birth SURNAME that he
uses for 25 years and then changes his SURNAME for last 50 years of his
life?

I have been using Legacy aka's for spelling variations and nicknames but
when a person changes their SURNAME, how do you handle that?  Same way?  It
does not feel right.

I don't have a year yet but have a range of sometime in the late 1920's
after serving in WW I.   I am hoping to find a legal record some day.  This
person never drove a car or needed a passport.  This person never went
overseas after WW I.  Maybe he had to prove something for social security
enrollment in 1936?

Thanks, in advance, for your consideration of this request.

Bill in Philadelphia

[LegacyUG] Using Genscriber and Legacy

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

After doing the transcribing, the output from Genscriber is a csv file
that can be read as a spreadsheet with column headings.  While that
function works great, I have a question.

What is the technique used for moving and re-formating that
csv-data-file in Genscriber to be used in the Legacy notes field?

It seems like additional work is required to reformat the data for use
in Legacy.  I am viewing this as a negative.   However, it may be that
I don't understand Genscriber well enough.

---

BACKGROUND --- I did some tests using Genscriber.
Genscriber can be found at:
http://genscriber.com/genapps/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=66&sid=280da5241f073026f46d46de922669f6

On the PLUS side I found that Genscriber permits one to use a
re-usable template for transcribing data.  For example, US Census 1900
column headers could be created in the tool and saved as a template of
column headers and re-used each time a US Census 1900 family group is
to be transcribed from an image.   This should increase efficiency for
large volume of transcription work and reduce errors.

On the NEGATIVE side for me:  The only output of Genscriber appears to
be exclusively a csv file.   It does not seem to lend itself to
narrative or free form text entry that might work better for the notes
section of Legacy notes fields.

ALTERNATIVE --- My tests of Transcript were positive.  It is not as
feature-rich as Gensriber.Transcript can be found at:

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding text details to a source/citation" and exporting GEDCOM issues

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Kirsten, that Citation_101 was very helpful.

These are two other elements that I may be confused about.  It appears
I am not the only one trying to this out.

(a) Repository, and
(b) Event ...  at the bottom of the hierarchy, when applicable.

(level in hierarchy, big picture, on source/citation/transcription )
(1) Repository - very top, very broad level like a building or a web site
(2) Master Source - see your note above
(3) Source Detail   - see your note above
(4) Event - may contain transcriptions like US Census data if an
event, could be partially duplicated in Source Detail?

...  am I off base in my view?   Would like to see your comments on
(a) and (b) if you have a moment.  Thanks.  Bill

Re: [LegacyUG] c:\Legacy_Archive\Pictures ---AND--- c:\Legacy\Pictures ?

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

I recently attended a meeting of museum curators at the Pennsylvania
Historical Society and the recommendation there was a minimum of 300
dpi minimum, and a specification of 600 dpi recommended, for document
PRESERVATION.  The format recommended was TIF uncompressed.   These
can be very large image files.

An 8 x 10 inch image at 300 dpi (the minimum) is about 21 MB in TIFF
uncompressed in my testing.   This resolution is especially  important
for the PRESERVATION of handwriting and 6 point fonts, they told us.
However, they did not make exceptions for photographs of groups of
people or for portraits.  The discussion was about PRESERVATION.
There was no discussion of compromise in this meeting of museum
curators.

This is what I got from Legacy Technical support regarding my trouble
tickets  on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 1:46 PM
" ... we recommend that you make smaller jpgs of 150-200 KB ...
Sincerely,
Sherry
Technical Support
Legacy Family Tree..."

I conclude that Legacy was not deigned to be used to meet today's
PRESERVATION standards.  Legacy is a good records management system
(referred to as an RMS in the meeting I attended) that stores metadata
external to the images (not to be confused with metadata stored within
the image file - a completely different topic ).  Those external
images that Legacy links to should be about 150-200 KB JPG's according
to Sherry (see above).  Also Jim at Legacy technical support is more
generous in specifying approximately 300 KB.  Jim at Legacy said my
1,100 KB JPG's should be reduced to about 30 % of that size.
Apparently there is no published specification for Legacy maximum
image sizes.   However, technical support at Legacy does have one they
use when you contact them for assistance.

I have found that Legacy does work, after a fashion, with large image
files but apparently that is not a supported feature of Legacy.  It
just happens to work in many cases.  For example, all of my census
files are much larger than the technical support limits of Legacy.
When it does work, we are "lucky".  These large sizes are not
officially supported, in my experience with Legacy technical support.
 Therefore, if the next version of Legacy did not support our large
images like the current version, we might be told then that Legacy was
never intended to support them.   Ouch!

My question is: What is the supplemental strategy for PRESERVATION of
images that is appropriate to complement Legacy now that I know that
Legacy is not designed to support image PRESERVATION specifications?

I am not to the point that CE Wood suggests in possibly looking for a
better alternative to Legacy.  I am surprised and disappointed by the
unpublished limitations of Legacy picture gallery.  I am still hopeful
I can make Legacy work for me.  It will require more work on my part
and yet another layer of organization for me to sort out.   I am sure
one or more of you have sorted this out, especially those who have
been told the limitations of Legacy by the Legacy support team.

Re: [LegacyUG] SURVEY: What is the highest number of pictures you have in any one Picture Gallery?

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Morris, thanks.

I have only about 100 picture files so far.  They are a mix of JPG, TIF and PDF.

I am exploring the possibility that it may be the total number on
pictures in one-single gallery that causes my trouble.   What is the
maximum number of pictures you have in any one single gallery?This
is the number of pictures that Legacy attempts to re-size and present
in "wallet size" on the screen when you open the picture gallery.

If you have only half dozen or less pictures in anyone single gallery,
you may not have hit the problem I am having.  It is also possible
that I am the only one with the problem.   However, you have so many
pictures that you must have some galleries with a high count of
pictures.

Re: [LegacyUG] Any suggestions? Picture Gallery trouble in Master Source picture gallery - family bible TIF's

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Ron,  thanks.  That is a good point about the the source images I have
stored in the Legacy/pictures folder not actually being in Legacy.

I think that Legacy may read and render those images in
Legacy/pictures so that it can present the small pictures in the
gallery.  In my case that is 13 small pictures displayed in rows of 5
each.

I am guessing that Legacy may be using some temporary files on disk
for working storage when resizing the images for presentation in
gallery format on the screen.

I think something degrades in the end-to-end image processing that
causes the gallery feature of Legacy to eventually get stuck consuming
high amounts of CPU indefinitely after some threshold of picture count
is reached in the picture gallery.   Then after deleting that
threshold picture from the gallery the CPU usage returns to 0%.

There is always the chance that something is broken in only my
computer.  That is especially true if no one else has this problem.

But I have not other symptoms of trouble on my machine.  Since I am
relatively new to Legacy, I may have done something that "broke"
Legacy.  But I don't know what that could be.

This is very puzzling.

Bill

Re: [LegacyUG] Any suggestions? Picture Gallery trouble in Master Source picture gallery - family bible TIF's

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Further investigation today I found the following:

These images are ONLY linked to a Master Source according to
Multimedia List Report runs that I did on the new copy of my Legacy
file.

Therefore, I decided to add them to an individual to see if that would
change the symptoms.  In doing so I discovered the following:

I clicked on the individual and clicked on pictures icon.   I started
adding the 13 TIFs one at a time.   All was well until I got to adding
the 9th TIF.  The 9th addition put the CPU into that 35-45% range
solid for 30 seconds before returning to 0% CPU usage.  Then I added
the 10th and CPU has been running at 35-45% utilization solid for the
past 10+ minutes.  The picture gallery flashes about every 6-7 seconds
and briefly says "(not responding)" in the title bar after the picture
gallery name.

It appears that when I add large TIF's to picture gallery that at #9,
in this case, it begins to use a lot of CPU for 30 seconds but
recovers.

When adding #10 it goes into a permanent looping state that flashes
(not responding) every 6-7 seconds.


FASTSTONE PHOTO RESIZER - good results
As a result of the JPG suggestion I wanted to see just how much
storage I could save by converting the images.
As an aside:  I used FastStone Photo Resizer to create JPEG-90's using
the batch feature.  It took 9 seconds to create the 13 JPGs.  That
reduced the size of the 13 images by 96%!  Comparison of the resulting
images appear to be very, very good.  If enlarged to an extreme, I see
a slight degradation in image quality.

If forced to JPGs, I have found a tool that is free and works very
well for converting batches of images quickly.
