Re: [LegacyUG] Hash Tags

[Cheryl Stegert]

The other thing I like to do is review the master location list.  Sort by state 
in first position --  those would be the locations that will be the ones you 
really are looking for. Then scan to see if Michigan is listed in the country 
position or county or city position. I generally just re-sort the list to make 
the scan easier. I started doing this when I found I had put Michigan as the 
country name!

 One issue that Geoff brought up is that counties etc have had their

 the location. That's something to watch out for when going through the
 locations lists. Anyone have any tips to keep them all straight?

 Ron's solution for the change to location prepositions would be a good
 option but I'm not sure how it would be handled by GEDCOMs or at
 any sites
 where you might post.  I sometimes use [probably] in the location
 field
 itself such as Sweden [probably] when I need to include some
 sort of a
 hint.  I also occasionally use it when I'm pretty sure of an
 approximate
 location but don't yet have proof such as Wentworth County
 [probably],
 Upper Canada.  Putting [probably] *after* the city, county, etc.
 causes it
 to still sort with similar locations.

 1) If a locaton in the master locations list is no longer
 connected with any
 record in the database, then you can use OptionsPurge Unused to
 remove all
 of them at once or use OptionsDelete to remove just the one that is
 highlighted.  Either method should work to get rid of the location you
 mentioned.

 2) Probably (not Probable) is a valid preposition. (I call them
 location
 modifiers like near, from, of, ...because many of them are not
 actually
 prepositions)  Read more about them in the help file Prepositions on
 Location.  I had to add Probably to my file.  Note also in the
 help file
 Sort Location List where the two check boxes at the bottom of
 the sort
 tool are documented.  They are very useful when viewing locations.

 3) You might try the Geo-code button for fixing multiple
 locations.  That
 button will show at the top of the master locations list if you
 have checked
 the box Show Map then click Geo-code all un-resolved locations
 through
 Bing Maps.  Legacy has a glitch in how the Bing Maps are linked
 (I think I
 have reported it in the past but it is still now fixed.)  The Bing
 Maps do
 not show when you first click Show Map but if you go to the
 Family view
 tab and then click on the Mapping tool icon, it usually will
 show the map
 of locations found on that family group.  Then look at the master
 location
 list again and the map will show.  I wish that there were a
 Geo-code all
 un-resolved locations through the Geo database.  A location that
 has been
 retrieved from Bing Maps will show V in the L column and if
 retrieved from
 the geo database will show an L.  If you lookup a location in
 the geo
 database that already has V, the program will not replace the V
 with an L although it does get the rest of the fields from the geo
 database.
 If you lookup a location in Bing Maps that already has L, the
 program does
 replace the L with a V.  I wish it were consistent.  Also, I'm not
 certain
 if the program considers an L location as already resolved when
 it tries
 to Geo-code all un-resolved locations.  At one time, I had
 thousands of
 locations verfied with the geo database but now very few of them
 show L
 and most of them show V.  It would be good if the one did not
 override the
 other without at least a question.

 Good luck getting your locations cleaned up.

  I don't enter a probable.  I
  create a To-Do item to search for the
  actual location.
 
  I enter townships in place of the city/town.

[LegacyUG] Tagged Search List to To-Do List

[Cheryl Stegert]

Hi:

I have a created a list of individuals which I have tagged.  I would
like to create a To-Do for each of these individuals (774 in total) for
the same repository and same To-Do item.  Is this possible.  I know I
can use the search report but like to keep the To-Do as my Research Log.

Thanks
Cheryl
