Re: [LegacyUG] Footnotes not available when using Publishing Centre

[Charlotte Box]

I didn't know know that either. So is does the bulk of what appears in a
book report consist of what is written in the General Notes? Not quite sure
what information it pulls in.

Thanks Kathy, I was never sure and I didn't want to key in the wrong info,
besides it get's a bit long winded typing 'source film number' repeatedly.

[LegacyUG] Source Citations

[Charlotte Box]

Hey all !

I know this is a little off topic but with the LDS source film numbers that
I have been adding along with my records in Legacy (see what I did there!),
are they the same as FHL numbers?

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeated Sources

[Charlotte Box]

Sorry to get back to you so late. Ron & Kirsten, you were spot on!! I set
the comments to 'First time' and I now have just the one mention. That's why
groups like this are invaluable because you learn these little tips that you
wouldn't otherwise find out. Fantastic, many thanks!!

Re: [LegacyUG]

[Charlotte Box]

Yes reading back it was a bit confusing :-) what I was trying to get across
is that on the 'Assigned Sources' page, the two mentions of the same source
are identical whereas on the 'Individual report' the citations are
different. Hence why it seemed a contradiction. No.7 is complete, but No.8
is missing the tail-end of the citation. I checked the source and the source
detail for both and they match exactly with none of the wording missing.
It's all a bit strange. I think what I'm going to do reset like you
suggested and if that doesn't do the trick I will delete both sources and
re-input them and see if I get the same problem. I'm pretty convinced it's
something I'm doing but I can't see what yet. Thanks for the help Ron btw,
much appreciated.

I am aware of the scrunched lines, is there a provisional date for the new
release?

Re: [LegacyUG]

[Charlotte Box]

Ok, I thought I had been specific, however, I'm getting the same problem on
the individual report and family report as these are the only reports
currently using the citations.


I have 1 record; a *statutory birth record*;
I have cited it twice; once for an AKA, and once for the Birth;
I added them by using the copy facility in Legacy so I knew they were
exactly the same;
On the 'Source Citation' page of the 'Individual Report' for example, the
entry for the *statutory birth record* appears twice, numbered 7 & 8;
The AKA cites No. 7, the birth cites No.8, I obviously only want it to
appear once, i.e both pointing to no.7.
No.8 is slightly different and is missing part of the citation so bearing in
mind what was mentioned about there being no variation I checked them again
just in case and they are exactly the same;

It has me stumped. I'm meticulous about my data entry but I can't find any
differences and there are definately only two references to this one source
when I checked under 'Assigned Sources'.

Hope this is clearer.

[Charlotte Box]

Hello everyone,

Apologies if this question is a bit basic, and I'm sure there must be an
easy solution so here goes. How do you stop a citation appearing in a report
more than once, in this instance a statutory birth record I've used to
evidence an AKA and the birth itself?

Thanks!

Re: [LegacyUG] Speaking of pictures

It's interesting Bill you mentioning about family members probably throwing
stuff in the garbage. I had some distant family members that literally threw
an entire collection of photo's on a bonfire because they weren't remembered
in a will!! Horrifying!

Re: [LegacyUG] Speaking of pictures

[Charlotte Box]

And when documents are that valuable, it is important they are handled as
little as possible. You may have only one original, but once they are
digitised they can be viewed time and time again. Hence why most
repositories are trying to digitise as much as possible. It's almost
impossible for the storage of data & images digitally to become obsolete
because there will always be the means of storing them and it can only
improve. It's all in bits and bytes so it's easy to transfer into storage,
what medium it's stored on is irrelevant because it can be changed easily
and moved from one to the other. This is why large businesses spend vast
sums of money storing digital copies often in different locations, if they
had a fire it could potentially mean the loss of the business.

Re: [LegacyUG] Speaking of pictures

[Charlotte Box]

I agree with you James. There doesn't seem any real justification for
keeping paper documents when it's not eco-friendly to use all that paper and
most things now can be stored digitally, unless of course they're originals
but even these can be scanned. Just in case anyone wasn't aware, as I recall
in one of the recent webinar's it was recommended they be saved as .tif's at
600dpi, 100% scale to preserve the integrity of images they need to be
stored. I thought that was a really good tip.

Thanks all! I haven't seen the marriage webinar, I watched the death

looks like I need to watch them both!

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Pictures

[Charlotte Box]

Hi Dennis,

I presume you mean a transcription of the marriage certificate? If so,
select 'Notes' next to the button 'Marriage Information' on the Family tab.
You can add it there. Next, under Report Options go to the tab 'Include' and
make sure you have 'Notes/general' checked.

[LegacyUG]

[Charlotte Box]

Hi

I have two christening records for the same person but with differing
information. I want to include the text from both on a report pointing to
their sources. I added them to the christening notes but on the report there
are no numbers indicating their sources. I don't want the text appearing in
the source citation itself so I can't add the text to the text/comments in
the source detail. Wondering if I'm missing something obvious, could someone
point me in the best way to go about this? Many thanks!

Charlotte

Re: [LegacyUG] location of picture

[Charlotte Box]

Hi Kathy,

When you exit Legacy and go to backup, there are two buttons, under the
button 'Select Name and Location for Data Backup' you will see the file path
for where your photos are stored. It will read something like:

C:\Legacy\Data\myFamilyTree2011.zip .

To check what's in the folder just copy and paste it to your desktop, unzip
it and you should see the image you're looking for. If you have trouble
finding the folder, go to Start on the bottom left of your Windows desktop
and you can have windows search for it.

Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs

[Charlotte Box]

Ok thanks for the advice everyone. Please remember though that to a newcomer
these little things can seem hugely confusing. I run a tight ship and they
look disorderly yet kind of important running down the side of the index,
however, now I know.

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs

[Charlotte Box]

You've hit the nail right on the head Kathy, thanks for that. Just seems
logical that way. I thought I understood what RINs are but I'm getting
confused by the fields which don't match what I want it to do. I will have a
go with what everyone has suggested and see what happens!

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs

[Charlotte Box]

The options are:
Renumber current RIN..
Fill missing RINs..
Fill all missing RINs..

None are missing but I want to reduce their size from 10 digits, is it not
possible to renumber them from 1-1500 then?

Thanks.

[LegacyUG] RINs

[Charlotte Box]

Hello everyone

I'm new to Legacy and I'm trying to understand RINs. Most of mine are 10
digits long so I would like to shorten them; as the tree I'm working on has
only around 1500 people so is it possible to renumber them from 1-1500 and
if so how do I implement this using the renumbering facility in Legacy?

Thanks!
