[LegacyUG] V9 Hinting
I'm a little confused about the hinting in V9 and the concerns about MyHeritate getting and publishing users' data. Is there any way that the "hinting sites" can use my Legacy database data for their own use? Put it on their site? Or do they just look at it and suggest hints that only I see?

Hi. So you make your own custom bbdb events with notes? How do you handle the duplicate events that Legacy automatically puts in in certain reports? Just ignore them?

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes
Hi Linda.Somehow the subject of sourcing has gotten mixed in with the discussion of how Legacy formats reports with notes. You can, as you suggest, create new B,B,D, and Burial events. They will print chronologically and have the notes in the "right" place. But on some reports, haven't looked at all of them, Legacy will put in its own version of the Vital events as well. Then you get duplicate events in different places. And on the FGS Legacy will still shove their version of the Vital notes down to the end of the report. Try a Chronology report with your new events and you will see the issues. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
Re: [LegacyUG] Report Formats
I don't have a problem with the vital dates at the top of the report, part of the header with the name. As now. But I would like B,B, D, and Burial events, with notes, to appear chronologically interleaved with all the other events. As on the chronological report. I could create new B,B,D,B events-that would work on the family group sheet-but would duplicate with the built in vital events on other reports. Sticking B,B,D.B notes down at the end makes no sense to me when other event notes appear with their event names, dates, and places and can sort chronologically. (Yeah, I know I can sort events in other ways.) Just wonder why this hasn't come up before. Maybe I am still using family group sheets and everyone else is doing web sites? Looking for ideas on how others handle these inconsistencies.

Re: [LegacyUG] Report Formats
Imagine the birth data listed as the first event-name, date, place, and notes, just like any other event (residence, occupation, etc.) If you click the chronology tab on the main screen, it does it "right". All together in one place. Same for death, etc. Notes stay with the other data. Try printing an Inv. Report including Chronology pages to see the difference.

[LegacyUG] Report Formats
Can anyone help me understand why Or suggest a better way to handle this... Legacy has a great facility for handling event/facts. It includes the description, place, date, and notes. Keeps them all together and makes for a nice chronology. (One of the main advantages over Roots Magic!) BUT the big events--birth, baptism, death, and burial--have their notes stuck at the end of the individual and family reports, down with the General Notes etc. The Chronology report does put the big event notes where they belong! Also, it seems that if I format the notes to look good (say extra LFs at beginning and/or end) in the Individual report, they do not look good in the Chronology report. Different rules for automatic line feeds by Legacy? Has anyone worked out a way to format notes so they look good everywhere? There seem to be a lot of issues with report formatting, especially when there are page breaks. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Personal knowledge
Ed, I do pretty much what Cathy does. I use a 'Personal Knowledge of xxx'usually myself and the detail is usually 'I was there'. As you say, good enough for me. But in the future, when you are out of the picture or no one is sure how scrupulous you were about accuracy, or you want to submit your work to a lineage society, it may not be enough.

You would think Legacy would be happy to get a well thoughtout report like that, especially since the suggestions are so closely related. But it is their way or the highway.

[LegacyUG] Quick Guides
Maybe Support can sort this. Legacy sells pdf Quick Guides in their store and Geoff says some Quick Guides are available for Kindle. I assume the Kindle versions will only be sold by Amazon. Right? MacEntee has a "New York Genealogy-A Legacy Quick Guide" in both places but the Kindle version claims "about" 32 pages and. There are only 4 pages in the pdf...but I think Amazon counts page flips. The price difference is 4 cents. So...do the pdf version and the Kindle version have the same content? What is Legacy's plan for Quick Guides in the future...will they be pdf, Kindle, both, some of each? I know you can read both on any device, but it would be nice to read and organize them in the same app. Just saying.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes associated with certain events
Ron, You've hit on one of my major complaints with Legacy reporting. I bring it up every year or so...there might be some more stuff in the archives. If you look at the Individual, Family Group, and Chronology reports you will find numerous inconsistencies and issues. As you point out, Chronology treats the big 4 (BBDM) pretty well, but the others disconnect the notes and stuff them at the end. You could try to create your own BBD events in the IR and FGS but they would double up in the Chronology report. OK if you use only one or the other but not a good solution. If you dig in, you will find a lot of inconsistencies in these 3 reports. Eg., the FGS automatically adds a blank line at the end of each event note but the IR does not. If you add line feeds to make one report look good, one or both of the others get worse. Etc. I had a list of 12 or 15 such related issues but support would only agree to look a them if I put each one on a separate submission. I finally sent them to Geoff, his request, but he hasn't acknowledged receipt. So yes, I agree with you. These reports could be so much more useful with a little work. There may be historic reasons for the particular FGS format, and compatibility concerns, but it would be easy to generate additional versions of these reports that would be self consistent.

Sherry and I have looked at this and need more data. I have several Quick Guides and the OnlineStateResoucesGuide DLed as pdf's from Legacy.

The Quick Guides display but do not open links on pdf complete (PC), or on the iPad. They do work on foxit reader and Adobe reader on the PC. **Has anyone put the Guides pdf's on iBooks and opened the links from iBooks? Is so, any guidance on how you did it is welcome. From iTunes, etc.? Whatever?** (Extra credit if you got Guides' links to open in pdf complete on a PC. The 'pdf complete' support folks say not all pdf's are formatted in the same way and recommend Adobe Reader if there is a problem!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Obituary Event
It seems pretty clear what a source is...where you found it etc. But I think many get too hung up on the literal meaning of the words "event" or "fact" ... as you can see in some of the above answers. What is important is where information appears in your reports, how it is formatted, and how useful it is to your purpose for creating the reports in the first place. If an 'event' puts the info. you want where you want it, go for it. I bet everyone has their own peculiar 'rules' for how they enter data in Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual reports

Re: [LegacyUG] Modifying "Customize Family View Information"
If you look in the archives, there are several discussions over the years about how BBD and M are handled differently than the user selected events. Some of us add those as user events and do not use the 'standard' ones. This has more to do with how and where the events, and their notes, appear in the family group sheet and other reports. They are not treated the same Or look closely at the chronology report.it does a better job of placing them.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to update multiple source details?
This comes up a lot...and regularly. You can troll the archives for much more discussion. I believe your issue is the primary reason that the splitter/lumper debate never ends. Count me as a splitter for this and other reasons. The search and replace fix is an effective one in many cases, and I was very happy when I learned of it some time ago...Ron I think. If you go to the training videos, where an example is given using a book as a Master Source and pages numbers for Detail, I think you will realize that by definition (and design), the Detail is usually unique to each citation that uses it and therefore Should be considered on a one by one basis if changes are made. For this and other recent threads (not you Kevin, you asked a reasonable question)I think many LUG folks are way to quick to yell "bug" or "programmer error" whenever they see something they don't like or didn't do right in the first place. Legacy does a good job, very good for the price. They aren't going to change it for every whim someone has. dick On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 4:14 PM, Kevin Long wrote: > I often find additional information that I forgot on the source detail (not > the master source definition), in particular, a picture or file.

Re: [LegacyUG] ISO ideas for recording history not specifically related to an individual?
Cathy-O's idea is very useful because events have a lot of flexibility...you can name, sort, source them, etc. and they tend to appear in "better" places in reports than the regular notes do. (See recent discussions on using your own events for birth, baptism, and death in order to get those notes in a more logical place.) For Juliasuch events are just a more detailed way to do what could have been done in General Notes. Your choice. You can go a bit further than just "Misc. Notes". You could do an event called "Willis Family History" that you can source and can easily copy to any members of the family that you like (using the clipboard of course). But be aware that it is difficult or impossible to transfer Legacy events to some other programs. They often don't like the 'notes' part of the event. Dick FYI--I think the OP meant 'In Search Of' by ISO.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheets (FGS)
Yes, thanks! I have been thinking in that direction myself. It does work pretty well for individuals but, of course, doesn't address the family group like a FGS does. What else do you do with the chronology? Do you add new B, Bap, M, D, Bur events, with notes, to be be consistent? Adding them doesn't seem to be really necessaryit finds them correctly. How about marriages...anything special?

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheets
Dennis, As you know, Family Group Sheets have been around forever, way before computer genealogy; every program/web site seems to have them but they are not really standard. Just look at the 3 formats offered by Legacy and Legacy Charting Companion. Only Legacy seems to handle the event notes at all (really well in my opinion). Roots Magic does use not. > > I know of no way to do that (short of adding duplicate b, m, d Events ... Which I assume is the first step for people actually addressing my issue in Legacy. As for Connie's need for 'simplicity', Legacy already knows how to select what is and isn't included in a report in report options. What the problem? It would be so easy to do an optional format of the FGS that put things in better order. And, wishingseparate the notes so they can be individually selected/deselected and sourced. Dennis...would a new FGS not be just another report on the DB? Thanks to all who respondedkeep them coming.

[LegacyUG] Family Group Sheets
The recent discussions on shared events prompt me to send a note I have been holding for while.. Family Group Sheets / Individual Sheets I tend to use FG sheets for most of my research and have some issues with how they are laid out in Legacy. I wonder if anyone else has had these issues and if they have a solutions or suggestions they would share. 1. Birth, baptism, and death are the big events in life and they are prominently captured at the top of the sheet. But the notes for same are stuck way at the end, after other events. The standard "events/facts" that you add keep everything together...data and notes. I like the latter. Seems odd that we do a better job on the less important things. (The individual chronology report actually does a better job of sorting, I think.) Does anyone routinely use separate Events for B, B,and D so that they print chronolgically with the rest of the events? Is there any drawback to doing this (I haven't done much with the other reports yet, or putting files on the web, so don't know what I may regret later.) I have no problem with showing the birth date at the top of the FGS and in the first event as well. 2. In an individual report, the marriage data is buried with parent data. I would prefer to show the marriage as an individual event that sorts chronolgically. I know it would repeat for both H and W in a FGS. But adding a new Marriage event would print in two event places on the FGS, the standard Legacy marriage events in another after the wifes events, and the marriage notes way at the end. This seems really odd to me, but I may miss something. Any better ideas? 3. I guess the general question is "Joint events" like census for husband and wifedo you repeat them in the FGS as individual events, or let them print as marriage events, in a weird place, as Legacy does. Or is there another way? I know 3 has been discussed before, but if you have a better way to do 1 and 2, I'd like to hear what you think on 3. Perhaps someone has a Legacy "template" they would share, or can point me to another generator of FGSs that I could export to. Some other programs seem to sort better but do not handle event notes very well. Appreciate your thoughts.

I have assumed for years that it would be there if I ever needed it. rjn 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 To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Using Clipboard?
I'm coming in late on this thread, but we've all struggled with how to use the source detail and clipboards. It is easy to copy the MSource and Detail to multiple people, BUT, once you do, the details all become separate "items" in the data base...there is no way to edit them all at once if you make even a typo. A lot of work hunting down the individual details and no one place to see where they were used. This has greatly influenced how I record the census and other info., and how I approach splitting/lumping. Eg., I put the census info. in an event.

Re: [LegacyUG] The man crossed the road
I guess we aren't worried about the folks on dial-up anymore.

Re: [LegacyUG] Test e-mails
Mike, that is a pretty narrow argument. Sure, some people have dial-up or no Internet at all, and some are running Win3.1, have small discs, and on and on. We all live with some economic trade offs. But it's 2010 and the norm for computer users is a fairly fast computer and some sort of high speed IN. You can't expect to design for the lowest common denominator. Some of the best features of Legacy pretty much require a fast IN and we'd all be outraged if Legacy had not kept up with the technology. (How about a snail mail LUG for those without any Internet?) We even allow discussion of clever Access functions and very few Legacy users are up for that. But I think the real point isn't the cost of an extra email, it's the need that some people feel to "enforce" the rules, as they perceive them, on everyone else. We've heard many times that this is an unfriendly LUG, intimidating people and generally causing bad feelings. I think we'd do better to give a little leeway to our fellow Legacy users, many of whom are obviously new to Legacy or the LUG (and may not even know about the archives.) Sending a test message when you are not sure if you are getting through to the group seems like a pretty innocuous thing to do. I think Millenia itself should do a better job of keeping people on topic and enforcing the rules...if they feel the need... and discourage the users from doing that. The LUG could then be a friendlier place and more useful to ALL users. (Guess I was bored today...my longest rant ever.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Test e-mails
Obviously you won't get consensus on this group...but I vote for #3. Some people take this LUG way too seriously...I bet they were hall monitors in grammar school. People come and go, have all levels of experience, and share the use of Legacy. So you get an extra email, big deal.
