[LegacyUG] Tagging for Family Group Webpages
Hello: I have had my Legacy-generated genealogy website up for years, but it is definitely time to update it. However, I am running into a problem. For privacy reasons, I only include persons born after 1900. I have given a Tag 1 to these persons. For a family group website, under the “Who” tab, I have selected “All records with an individual tag of 1.” Yet when I create the webpages, all individuals appear. What am I doing wrong? I appreciate any help. I have looked in the Help section of Legacy both online and in the software, but found no help there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging for Family Group Webpages
Yes, I meant to include only individuals born BEFORE 1900. Thanks, Ronald, for the correction. Okay, I think I have solved the problem by creating a Focus Group of individuals with Tag 1. From the new family file that is the Focus Group, I was able to create Family Group webpages with only individuals born before 1900. I still think, however, that creating Family Group webpages from Tag 1 should have worked. I am happy to be able to create webpages with Legacy, but I would like the webpages to be more attractive. Since MyHeritage is a system of family trees, however, I doubt that Legacy will be developing that aspect.

Re: [LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator
I have had my website (created with the Legacy software and hosted by GoDaddy) for many years. I get responses, questions, and comments literally all the time. Collaboration takes place by e-mail. I get good response on Google searches, meaning I run into my own research all the time. It’s hard for me to do a search on one of my ancestors without running into myself. But that means the website is visible and helpful to other researchers, which is my goal.I also run into my research that has been copied and just pasted into trees on Ancestry, etc., all the time, which is a frustration. (I am talking about personal narratives, not just facts or straight transcriptions.) But that is another topic. I have the great majority of my family research uploaded to it, so it deals not only with main ancestral lines, but also the lines of in-laws, etc. I like the Legacy setup because it allows me to show the sources of my research, with the documentation appearing as footnotes that are in a classic format and are useful to the viewer. It allows me to give credit to others for the information they have provided to me, as well as providing the usual source locations of information. I only include those born before 1900.

For your personal use? Do you get responses from other viewers that helps with your genealogy? Does it allow for collaboration? Thanks!

I have been with Legacy practically since its inception. Besides using Legacy for recording research and writing reports, I use Legacy to create my own website, which I then upload to GoDaddy, a regular non-genealogy related web host. This gives me complete flexibility in the creation and ownership of my website. Since MyHeritage pushes family trees on its own site, will Legacy continue to give us the capability of creating a genealogy website of our own with the Legacy software? Is Legacy the only genealogy software that allows you to create your website independently and then upload it to a regular non-genealogy related host? Any thoughts on this?

[LegacyUG] Dividing events on website
Hi--- I’m interested in putting a little more division between life events that show on my website. Now, they pretty much all run together in a column with only a very small dot to divide them. When creating the website, I did choose the “number events,” but it does not work. It still comes up with dots instead of numbers, as if I had checked the other selection. Is this a bug in the program? I am using the newest version. Advice please. I really wish we had a selection of buttons or lines to choose from to separate events. My events for one person may easily fit a whole screen.

[LegacyUG] How do I see a sample MyHeritage individual's website
MyHeritage says it offers all these perks to set up a nice family genealogy website. Can anyone give me a link so I can see some samples of these sites? Also, when someone syncs with your website, do they automatically take all the information you’ve posted? I still am not clear how MyHeritage enhances research more than Ancestry. I looked in their catalog and didn’t come up with much for me, except some censuses, which I already have.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list
And on this mailing list I feel I can grouse a little bit if I need to. I realize the FB group is restricted to members only, but it is still more public. I don’t want to criticize Legacy in public, as it has been a wonderful program for me, and I don’t want non-users to misunderstand. The mailing list is more “in the family.” Donna From: Gordon Findlay Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 6:29 PM To: Legacy User Group Subject: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list The problem with Facebook as a platform for user group support is that there is no real archive. I answered a question I had about Legacy the other day using an archived email message from about 3 years ago. Facebook is designed to focus on the most recent activity only. It is hopeless as an archive. -- 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/ -- 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/
