[LegacyUG] Comparison to FamilySearch

[Bruce Jones]

Just recently, when I click on the link to compare my Legacy data with the
FamilySearch data, the LDS temple names are displayed as usual; however,
ordinance dates are not displayed.
This seems to be true for all my people.
Am I doing something wrong or is FamilySearch making changes?

Re: [LegacyUG] File organization question

Thanks Cathy.
So it probably makes sense to have two copies of any pictures, one for
Legacy and a second for other purposes.
What size would you recommend for the Legacy copy?
Thanks.

[LegacyUG] File organization question

[Bruce Jones]

As I review where my Legacy media is located, I find my media duplicated in
two different locations.  One where I put them, and a second in "Legacy
Family Tree/Media/xxx".  Is this normal?  Is Legacy putting my data in
media for a reason?
I am considering reorganizing my Legacy media with document type as the
lowest subfolder (aka Lesa Louise Cook).
And also considering moving all my photos to a separate folder system.
Will that cause a problem with the "media" data?

[LegacyUG] Error accessing Family Search

I get
"Access violation at address 008824EC in module 'LegacyFS.exe'.  Read of
address 00A8."

This seems to happen on any person in my Legacy file.
I'm running Legacy Deluxe 8.0.0.566 under Windows 10.

When printing a Pedigree Chart, the Sources default to
"If an event has multiple sources, combine them into one paragraph"
can this be changed to not make this the default?

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox / Legacy problem

[Bruce Jones]

I had this same problem when I updated one computer to a different
operating system (from Windows XP to Windows 7).
I discovered the problem was that the PATH name was now different that the
other computer.
I moved the dropbox folder so the PATH to it was the same on both
computers, and that solved the problem.
Another poster suggested a setting in Legacy 8, but I haven't tried that as
I solved my problem by moving the dropbox folder so the PATH was the same
on both computers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Long/Lat for stones

[Bruce Jones]

I only see two options:
Put the Lat/Long in a field other than the Location (description, notes)
If you want it in the Location field, then I think you need to create
multiple locations for that cemetery.
Here are examples of locations in my database.

Salt Lake City-Cemetery (I.12.10), Salt Lake, Utah, USA
Salt Lake City-Cemetery (J.19.6), Salt Lake, Utah, USA

Hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] Pedigree Chart question

[Bruce Jones]

One of the available options for the Pedigree Chart is Ancestral File
Number.
I have checked this option but it does not show on the report, even though
it is on some of the people on the chart.
Am I missing something?

[LegacyUG] How can I show which individuals I think are correct

[Bruce Jones]

I have many individuals in my file.  Many have no sources and I don't
remember where I got the name and information.

O would like to have some indication when I feel comfortable about the name
and relationships.
It would be nice if it showed on the pedigree chart so I could follow a
line and see where to spend time in research.
The best I have come up with is to show it in the UserId or Ancestral File
Id fields (I'm not using either right now).
Am I missing a better way?

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for all people in one county

[Bruce Jones]

Kathy,
When they say to "standardize" your location, it doesn't mean they have to
have a specific number of positions, just that they need to be entered in a
consistent manner; i.e. either from smallest to largest or from largest to
smallest, regardless of the number of positions. So,
If you have locations entered as follows:

Sublimity, Marion, Oregon, USA
Marion, Oregon, USA
Oregon, USA
Salem, Marion, Oregon, USA
123 Anystreet, Sublimity, Marion, Oregon, USA

they are consistently entered from smallest to largest.
Then, go to "View", "Master Lists", "Location"
Click on "Sort"
Click on "Right to Left" on Direction of Sort
Then they will be listed as

USA, Oregon
USA, Oregon, Marion
USA, Oregon, Marion, Salem
USA, Oregon, Marion, Sublimity
USA, Oregon, Marion, Sublimity, 123 Anystreet

So, all the Oregons will be together, all the Marions will be together, all
the Sublimitys will be together etc.

This may or may not help you, but I wanted to make sure you understood what
is being said.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual Report

[Bruce Jones]

If I'm not mistaken, the Individual Report lists events in the same order
they are on the list of events for the individual.  So, you can order the
events anyway you want to see them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Latitude and Longitude

[Bruce Jones]

You might want to look into "I-gotU", a standalone GPS product that
continuously logs your latitude & longitude (I think every 10 seconds is
the default).  It can work with ANY digital camera.  You just need to make
sure both have the same time at the start of your trip.  I use the model
GT-120. It costs $49.95 at Amazon.

Re: [LegacyUG] How can I successfully use Legacy on desktop & laptop?

I have had my Legacy database on Dropbox for several years and like it.
Just make sure you never have your database open on both computers at the
same time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to log Twins?

[Bruce Jones]

Mary Slawson, in her book "Getting it Right" says
"Note: The designations "widow" and "twins" are recorded in the Notes
field.  They are not entered in the title fields."

I have several entered in the Title Suffix.
I may need to change how I have done it.

It will be interesting to hear what others have done.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Bruce Jones]

If you use the List Style formatting, you can't change the order, per
Sherry.
I have done something similar to what you are asking for using the Sentence
Style formatting.
It doesn't put things in columns, but I have fiddled with the sentence
definitions to add spaces to approximate a column for the event name and
have the date lined up with the location and description following in the
same "column"..

Re: [LegacyUG] Error code 76 when going to geo databas

[Bruce Jones]

I agree with what Paul says.
Just one thing to be careful of when your active file is in dropbox.
Make sure you ALWAYS close your legacy file on one (dropbox) computer
before opening it on a different (dropbox) computer.

Those are only of interest to members of the LDS church
You can remove them as follows:
Click on "Options", "Customize", "General Tab"
On the right side, unclick "Display LDS Information"

Re: [LegacyUG] Organization of Photos, Scanned Documents and etc.

[Bruce Jones]

I am using a modification of the strict MRIN filing method

I have 4 grandparent surnames: Jones, Barnes, Warr, Tingey
So I have created 9 main folders:
Jones, JonesR, Barnes, BarnesR, Warr, WarrR, Tingey, TingeyR, and Misc.
(those ending in R are "related" or married into the grandparent line)
I then create MRIN subfolders for each family within one of the main 9
folders,
Everything for a marriage goes into the appropriate MRIN subfolder.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wording for Descendant Narrative

[Bruce Jones]

If I understand the help for this report, what you can use these
replaceable fields for is in the TITLE that precedes your notes.  Is that
what you want to do?

  Why does the wording I have for marriage *events* work whereas
 similar wording for  marriage *notes* does not?

 Sample:

 Wording 1 *(Events*):
 Further information about *[couplenames]'s* marriage:  [results in]
 "Further information about William BROOKFIELD, Sr. and Unknown's
 marriage: • Where not known:"

 *whereas*
 Wording 2 *(Notes)*:
 Additional information about *[couplenames]'s* marriage:  [results in]

 "Additional information about [couplenames]'s marriage: When unknown."

Re: [LegacyUG] To add a step relationship or not?

[Bruce Jones]

FWIW. If the child actually lived with the step parent, then I would link
that child to the step parent and indicate the relationship.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations

[Bruce Jones]

Two comments.
1. Regarding the sorting of the Master Location List, I change the sort
order to sort from Right to Left, so it doesn't matter how many fields I
have.
2. If I don't put the address in the location, I can't map out the
different houses, in the same city, I have lived in.  Or am I missing
something.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where is the best place to post obituary in Legacy?

[Bruce Jones]

Or you could put the obituary in BOTH the Obituary Event Notes AND in the
source detail text.
I have been doing that with my census events as I'm not sure which way I
will want the reports in the future (got this idea from Geoff).
Then I have a different event sentence depending on if I have anything in
the Description field.  If I do, I don't include Notes in my sentence.  If
I don't have anything in the Description field, I do include the Notes in
my sentence.
What I put in the description field is simply "age 16" (whatever age is in
the notes).
So if I want the notes to print, I just delete the description.
This may or may not work for you for Obituaries.
Just my thoughts.

When you display the location on the map, move the cursor to the correct

Re: [LegacyUG] Census List options

I completely agree that, once you understand the need for percentages, the
information you mention would be very helpful.
I was trying to explain, in a simple way, why a percentage is even needed,
which was a question I think someone asked.

That should be no other "places" are entered in Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census List options

[Bruce Jones]

Here is how I see it.
Say a person was born in location A, and died in location B and no other
dates are entered in Legacy..
At the time of the census, he could have been living in A or B or somewhere
else.
The program has to "guess" where he was living at the time of the census.
If the date of the census is closer to his birth than his death, the
program will probably "guess" he was living at A during the census.
But since his family could have moved immediately after his birth, the
program can't be sure that is where he was during the census so it assigns
a percentage. The closer the census date is to his birth date the higher
the percentage.
Make sense?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

[Bruce Jones]

I solved the problem of only part of the Locality being printed.  For some
reason, I had very wide margins on the right and left.  When I made them
smaller, I got the full location.  I still need to enter the Location in
reverse order though.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

[Bruce Jones]

Thanks for your response.
It seems to me that I should always put the Locality in the Description,
and only use the Locality field for sorting & not print that field.  Anyone
have a different approach?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

I have been using portrait mode.  I just tried landscape and then I get the
full locality field.  Strange.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

[Bruce Jones]

How do you get the full locality to print?  I only get the first 10 or so
characters in the Locality field, which is to the right of the Category
field.

[LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

[Bruce Jones]

I am trying to get the ToDo list to print out by Country.

1. I enter the locality in the ToDo as I would in other places in Legacy,
and it uses the Location Master List.
However, when I print a ToDo list, sorting by locality, the Locality is
sorted by City instead of Country.

2. If I create a unique locality with the Country first,then County, then
City, I can get the report to sort by country but cannot see the county or
city as the field is too short on the report.
How do I get the full Locality to print out on the ToDo report?

Am I using the Locality field in the ToDo incorrectly?

Thanks,
Bruce Jones

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual report - Family group sheet

[Bruce Jones]

However, you CAN link children to multiple parents, which might get you
closer to what you want.
AND you could create custom events for the other wives so they would show
on the chosen FGS.
But this is probably not what you want to do.

Another way to think about it is, others can only see what is in the RIGHT

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox and Legacy

[Bruce Jones]

To clarify, the problem discussed is for Legacy multimedia, but not
for the fdb file.
I have my fdb file in Documents and Settings/Bruce/My Documents/My
Dropbox/Legacy/Data with no problem.
Caveat!  Make sure Legacy is closed on computer 1 before opening it on
computer 2 & vice versa.
Otherwise you will end up with ".fdb (computer a conflicted copy
-mm-dd)"

Re: [LegacyUG] Removing children listed twice

[Bruce Jones]

Maybe I am missing something,
You can link a child to more than one set of parents,
Then, can't you specify in Children's Settings "Adopted" for one set
of parents and "Biological" (or nothing) for the other?

Thanks everyone.
You have confirmed that I either need to do it the brute force way (one at

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing linked pictures from bmp to jpg

[Bruce Jones]

bmd files end with bmd, jpg files end with jpg
So,
xxx.bmd when converted to a jpg file is
xxx.jpg and Legacy can't find it.
Does that help explain my problem?

[LegacyUG] Changing linked pictures from bmp to jpg

[Bruce Jones]

I have several pictures linked as source detail multimedia that are LARGE
bmp files.  I would like to change them to much smaller jpg files.
Creating new jpg files is easy.  However, since they are linked to quite a
few source detail citations, is there a way to change all these source
detail multimedia links to the new jpg files without going into each source
detail separately?

You could go to Customize, General and unclick "Display LDS information",

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Links - assistance required please.

[Bruce Jones]

Following Richard's suggestion, when you go to Options > Customize >

how many paths are shown?  I'm no sure, but changing each of these paths
MAY fix your problem.
But making sure your did use a current backup would be my first suggestion.

Re: [LegacyUG] Transferring data and pictures to laptop from desktop

[Bruce Jones]

Does this help?
Your Legacy program on the desktop has a link to your picture
C:\libraries\documents\ancestory\Moir\death certificate James Moir 16 Dec
1879.
When you transfer your Legacy program to the laptop, the link in Legacy on
the laptop is STILL to
C:\libraries\documents\ancestory\Moir\death certificate James Moir 16 Dec
1879.

But you have restored the pictures to the D drive, with a DIFFERENT path
than the path in Legacy (this does not change the link in Legacy)
Therefore you need to tell Legacy about EVERY new folder (each family) on
the D drive (once per folder)
OR
you need to restore the multimedia to the C drive so that the paths are
IDENTICAL to the desktop, i.e.
C:\libraries\documents\ancestory\Moir\death certificate James Moir 16 Dec
1879.
Hope that helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cemeteries, Hospitals in Event Fields - Was: Locations

[Bruce Jones]

Very interesting approach, Mary.  Which reports do you use?  On the Family
Group Report I have a line that separates each event.  I don't see how that
can be removed.  Am I missing something?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations

[Bruce Jones]

But the Location/Address capability was designed BEFORE mapping was
introduced.
I want to see specifically where SOME (not all) of my people lived on the
map.  The only way I can see for Legacy Mapping to show that is to put the
address in the Location field for those people.
Am I missing something?

Re: [LegacyUG] shut down Legacy

[Bruce Jones]

For those who are using Dropbox to keep two computers in sync, you
DEFINITELY need to shut down Legacy often, like every time you leave your
computer so if you go to the second computer and start Legacy, you won't
end up with CONFLICTING files (voice of experience).

Re: [LegacyUG] How do you all use the resource notes

[Bruce Jones]

I don't think I have anything "sourceable" in any of my Research Notes
(haven't used them much yet).  Anything I find that has a source I would
usually create an Event/Fact for and source that Fact/Event.
I hope others will chime in with their thoughts/practices.

Re: [LegacyUG] CENSUS: Event or Source ?

[Bruce Jones]

How would you respond if the conversation was about Residences sources from
a Census?  Would you create an Individual Event or a Marriage Event (or
both?)

[LegacyUG] Individual Events vs Marriage Events

[Bruce Jones]

I am puzzling on where to put Census (or Residence) Events for a couple.
It is clear that a single person in a Census would have the Census as an
Individual Event.  But where you others put a Census Event for a couple?
Individual? Marriage? Both?

Re: [LegacyUG] Location List problem

[Bruce Jones]

It's not obvious, but if you highlight that location, click on Geo-code on
the top right, then click on "Do not auto Geo-code the current location"
that should do it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geoff: Source List Arrangement?

[Bruce Jones]

My sources are also grouped like yours and I am wondering the same thing
about Geoff's method.  One option would be to have three categories:
Locality, Surname, and "other".  the other could be prefixed with a symbol,
like an asterisk.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing/not printing Event Notes

[Bruce Jones]

I see I need to be more specific.
I have been following Geoff's method of entering census information by
putting all members of the family in both the source detail AND in the Event
Notes.  When I print the Family Group Sheets, I will sometimes want
everything in the Census Events printed (for all census events), but often I
will just want just one line printed, that is, no Notes.  I understand that
I could change the Event Sentence to either print or not print Notes, but I
was looking for a way to accomplish this without changing the Event Sentence
each time I wanted it printed differently.
Hope this makes sense.

Re: [LegacyUG] some of my notes have disappeared

[Bruce Jones]

Yes, I think you have that right.  I have been doing this for some time.
Some do not like this approach as it causes problems IF you open the same
file on different computers at the same time (which I must confess I have
done).  That is my only problem with this approach.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing/not printing Event Notes

[Bruce Jones]

Yes to your first guess on what I meant.  I will always want to print the
events but sometimes I will want the notes and other times I may not want
them.
Yes to your last question.
Thanks for helping me clarify my question.

[LegacyUG] Printing/not printing Event Notes

[Bruce Jones]

I have been looking for a way to sometimes print Event Notes and other times
not print them.  I don't see any settings that allow this flexibility.
The only way I see to do this is to enclose the Event Notes in privacy
brackets, then choose to either print or not print privacy brackets.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Request for addition to Legacy

[Bruce Jones]

Would it work to create an "Alt Parents" event and put the parents names in
either the Description or the Notes of the event?
It would show up on the Individual screen and in the Chronology screen.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery

[Bruce Jones]

It doesn't work for me either.  I tried following Sherry's suggestion which
I interpret to untag all pictures and make sure non are preferred.
The problem is that I can't see how to have NONE of the pictures set to
preferred.
I even added a picture, made it preferred, then removed it.  The picture
just before the one I removed was changed to preferred.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record this location.

[Bruce Jones]

If you search the archives you will see this 4 field conventions discussed
many times.

I believe that most of the knowledgeable Legacy users (especially outside
the USA) do the following:
- Ignore the 4 field convention and enter as many fields as seems
appropriate for the specific location (3, 4, 5, 6, up to 9).
- Set the locations to sort from Right to Left so it displays (for example)
country, state, county, city, etc.

The only downside seems to be using the Geo locator function.
To use it, temporarily use the 4 field convention, then change to whatever
you like when you are finished.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery

[Bruce Jones]

I haven't tried Sherry's suggestion yet, but what I did is create an actual
photo of nothing. It could be the sky, a wall, anything of all the same
light color.  Then I attached it as the preferred photo for those
individuals with the problem you discussed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Gallery

One other option, which I have used, is to add a "blank" image to Legacy,
which I use when I have this situation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Change fie extension

[Bruce Jones]

I would just add one suggestion to Tony's excellent article.
If you want to move a picture to a folder unknown to Legacy,
First add that folder to the list (Options, Customize, Locations, View
Current List of Multimedia Locations, Add)
Then you don't need to do the search.

You can also use (Options, Customize, Locations, View Current List of
Multimedia Locations, Rename) to rename Legacy multimedia folders.

[LegacyUG] Entering census information

[Bruce Jones]

I have been following Geoff's instructions for entering census information
but have come across a question.
How do you deal with census information where the family is split over two
pages?
- Create two Events with two citations (one citation for each page)?
- Create one Event with two citations?
- Create one Event with one citation that has two images?
- Other?
Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Converting to a New File System

[Bruce Jones]

Another method is to go to
Options/Customize/Locations/View Current List of Multimedia Locations/Add
and navigate to the new folder and click on "OK"
This adds that folder to the list Legacy will search to find your pictures/files
Do this once for each new folder.
Legacy will now find all files you moved to the new folders (as long
as you don't rename any files).

You can also use this method to rename folders (after renaming the
folder outside of Legacy)
