Re: [LegacyUG] Rookie mistake - how to cite?

2017-05-25 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Thanks Margaret. That will come in handy, but not for the records I have.
They came from mid 1850s German congregation churches in Chicago. But I'll
surely use your suggestion.

Re: [LegacyUG] Rookie mistake - how to cite?

2017-05-25 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Thank you Jenny. Another problem I have is that the events took place in
Chicago, and all records except some church records (and other possible
private records) were destroyed by the great Chicago fire of 1871, making
it harder to find anything before that time period. This thread could be a
good lesson for newbies.

[LegacyUG] Rookie mistake - how to cite?

   1. Quite some time ago, I browsed many, many church records to find 4

Hi Howland. If you have a somewhat unusual surname, it is sometimes better
if you only search the surname. Then you can scroll the hits, and possibly
see what might be a match for your subject. Just a thought.

[LegacyUG] Adopted child

2017-05-10 Thread Ed Ladendorf
I have a situation where an unmarried girl gave birth. When it was obvious
that she was not ready to be a parent, her parents adopted the child, and
there was a birth certificate made, showing the grandparents as parents. I
think the original birth certificate was destroyed, so it appears that the
grandparents were the biological parents, although this is known to be
false. How would you enter this information?  Biological father is unknown.

Re: [LegacyUG] Graphics being posted to the list

It seems that there are people who would like to have the ability to add
embedded images to posts, and possibly some who are against that (although
that might not be the case). Since the membership of the list is not what
it once was, maybe the ones who make the rules would be open to putting it
to a vote of the remaining members?? Is it possible to get a virus from an
embedded image? I don't know the answer to that, but I know a lot of forums
allow that, so I doubt it's a problem. Who would like to have a vote? If
that's acceptable, count me in for allowing it. If not, I'll abide by the

The original message to the list is in the attachment.

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.

Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com.  Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.--- Begin Message ---

has taken. I don't think anyone meant to go against the rules of the forum.
It happens. Simply trying to offer suggestions to make things easier for
someone else sometimes ruffles another's feathers. I tend to look for the
good in people, and give them the benefit of doubt in most scenarios
(unless they're an obvious troll). So let's please make this post the last
on the subject. Smile a little. Life is too short for bickering.

Re: [LegacyUG] FAG problem?

2017-05-03 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Thanks for the reply, Bob. I considered that possibility, but there is
absolutely nothing different from what I have in Legacy and the FAG site. I
just checked it again. While I was there, I searched for Heinrich
Ladendorf, and Henry Ladendorf. The Heinrich entry matched what I had
entered on FAG. The search for Henry came up empty, unlike some other
sites' search engines. So that's something to be aware of.
Fwiw, others can be aware that a "no hits" doesn't necessarily mean there
is no memorial for the person in question.

[LegacyUG] FAG problem?

2017-05-03 Thread Ed Ladendorf
I haven't seen this discussed, and I wondered if anyone else has
experienced what I have. Probably 15 - 20 years ago, I entered a few
memorials at FAG. While trying out the new V9, two of them were not found
in the search at FAG. Thinking I probably had a typo or something, I double
checked everything, but found no errors at all. Going to the FAG site, I
searched for them. Sure enough, they showed up. But not searching from
Legacy. Has anyone else seen the problem of searches coming up empty, when
you know they exist?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy UG emailer vagaries

2017-04-26 Thread Ed Ladendorf
I don't know if this is related or not, but I had an account from yahoo
mail registered for this user group. It seems like there has always been a
few problems with the user group, and since I was not recieving any emails
from it, I started another Legacy user group account using my gmail
account, without unsubscribing from my yahoo account, thinking it was
somehow deleted. Yesterday I received 1 email from the user group on my
yahoo account! But my gmail account took in probably 30 or 40 emails!!
Something is not right for sure.

[LegacyUG] Sorry for the attachments

2016-04-19 Thread Ed Ladendorf
It was pointed out to me, in a private email,  that I needed to change
email providers because Yahoo sent posts appear as attachments to everyone.
I know the subject of attachments has been discussed many times, but I only
read a couple of them because I thought the only people who saw the
attachments was people using Yahoo. It was explained to me that sending
posts *FROM *Yahoo was the problem. So I have a new email address for this
list. I apologize for the problem.

Thank you, list members, for the help you have given me. I appreciate all
replies to my questions, even if it's only an idea to think about.

I hope I'm not out of bounds with this question. I will validate it by saying I 
don't want to put untrue information in my database.
I have a document from a Catholic Church in Chicago, that is hand written in 
either German or Latin. I am unable to read it, and I'm looking for someone who 
is willing to help with this. Some of the information I can guess at, but I 
really don't want to enter untrue information. This information is expected to 
help in tying Petri Schommer b. 1799 to my line. 
If anyone is willing to help, I would very much appreciate it. If you can help, 
please send an email to my address, which should appear above. I can send a 
copy to you.
If this question is out of bounds, please let me know about that too.

Thanks Linda. I've been looking everywhere for a death record, but no luck. My 
g-grandmother was a sister of Peter Schommer (1826-1898). Even though I have no 
hard proof, I think Petri 1799 - ? was their father. I do have hard proof of 
some of Peter's (b. 1826) siblings, and they seem to fit perfectly. But the 
hard proof for their father is not coming easy. They were German, and the whole 
family seems to have been born in the Prussian area of Saarland.

 Not sure what nationaliy you are working with but Peter (Petri) and Joseph 
(Josephus) were both Saints names, so if they both survived childhood one might 
be called Petri and the other Joseph.  Or they could have been named after 
grandfathers who had similar names.  Just my 2cents worth.Linda

Thank you very much for the replies. Although this was a gut feeling that they 
were the same person, I did not throw out the possibility that they were 
actually 2 different people. I know things much stranger than this will be 
found in genealogy.
But the replies did give me things to consider, and I do appreciate that. Even 
though I consider myself slightly above a rank beginner in genealogy, I know 
I'n not beyond making a rookie mistake either.  Thanks again.

  Although I have to question the source, I do have sources from 
familysearch.org for siblings, one of which is almost certainly a direct 
ancestor of mine. Here's the problem: These are from the same parents - one 
name listed is Petri Schommer 1799 - ?. The other is Petri Josephus Schommer 
(note name similarities) 1801 - ?. Both records were submitted by the same 
contributor, on the same day. The only difference in citing the source (IGI 
index) is that part of one citation is 2:1:MGHL, while the other is 2:1:MRSV. 
My gut feeling is that  one of these is wrong, and they are the same person. 
This whole family is new for me, with the exception of my direct ancestor, b 
1799. I have only secondary sources for the birth. I found six siblings. 
Pertaining to entering this in a database, how would you handle that? I would 
appreciate ideas, since I have not entered them yet. 
  
  
 Why do you believe that these two entries are the same person?  It is not 
uncommon (certainly in England) for a child to be given the same (or a similar) 
name as an earlier sibling which died.  I even have one instance of two 
brothers being named Edward John and John Edward, both of them surviving 
childhood.  The patron who submitted these records obviously believed them to 
be 2 different children and I would treat them as such until I could confirm 
otherwise, but the priority would be to do my own research.

Thank you very much for the replies. Although this was a gut feeling that they 
were the same person, I did not throw out the possibility that they were 
actually 2 different people. I know things much stranger than this will be 
found in genealogy.
But the replies did give me things to consider, and I do appreciate that. Even 
though I consider myself slightly above a rank beginner in genealogy, I know 
I'n not beyond making a rookie mistake either.  Thanks again.

 Why do you believe that these two entries are the same person?  It is not 
uncommon (certainly in England) for a child to be given the same (or a similar) 
name as an earlier sibling which died.  I even have one instance of two 
brothers being named Edward John and John Edward, both of them surviving 
childhood.  The patron who submitted these records obviously believed them to 
be 2 different children and I would treat them as such until I could confirm 
otherwise, but the priority would be to do my own research.

Easy enough if you have a separate Event for each Census: simply modify the

Personally, I have one Event named "England Census" (and one for "England

I had a couple of people in my tree that I have to question if they are really 
the right people too. I unlinked those people from the parents, thereby taking 
them off my tree, but leaving them in my database. If I find that these people 
actually are who I think they are, I can again link them to have them in my 
tree again. Those "same names, same time period" can be tough, and I think most 
of us probably have to contend with that problem.
I agree with Linda G. I would rather have 3 or 4 generations that are correct, 
than 15 or 20 that are questionable. The person with the most names in their 
tree doesn't necessarily win.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

On my tree I have a direct line that I will call SMITH. Unfortunately within
this Smith group there are several called John (all born around the same
time) several called Michael (all born around the same time) etc many of
these being cousins or second cousins.

I have a feeling that I have put the wrong children with parents, and
therefore their children are connected incorrectly.

I've tried to look at each family grouping to see if I can sort it out but
it's difficult. I've got a John Smith born 1700 with  son John Smith and
another one born 1710 with a son John Smith and still another one born say
1705.

I am thinking that my best bet would be to unlink the first Smith to link
into my tree, thereby hopefully unlinking them all. Then start attaching
them one by one back into the tree - but only when I have double checked
that I have the right person (although I thought that I had).

So I need to unlink my first Smith and all their connections, either by
blood or marriage from my main Coates file. Is this possible and if so how.

Or is there an easier solution?

Thank you

June

There is a reason I put the mother in, instead of the father. That reason is 
called old age. :) There are times when I don't necessarily think things 
through before doing them. But it makes sense to put the father in as Mr. 
Schommer. It can always be changed if something unexpected turns up.
I have strong reasons to believe that Nicolaus Schommer is a brother to Maria 
and Susanna, but I have no hard proof. So he is left out for now, but he is 
mentioned in other areas why I think he is a brother. Since I haven't added him 
yet, I guess I haven't completely lost it yet, although I'm working on it. ;)
Thanks for the replies. They make a lot of sense.

I have been watching all this and wondering why the surname does not just get 
placed in the male parents position and then add the child?
Is there some problem that this sets up further down the line that I am not

In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a parent-less person on 
show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and have the 
program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to the original, 
parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no longer seems to 
work under version 8.0

This is something I'm struggling with. We might know things, but have
no hard proof to offer to someone else who might be working on our
line. For instance, let's say you have personal knowledge of a
person's birthday or date or cause of death (probably an immediate
family member), but you have no birth certificate or other
documentation. How would you cite the source? I have more than one
instance like this, and I could order the certificates, but I would
rather put that money toward other genealogical goodies, like Civil
War Pension records. Not only that, but ordering documentation like
that just seems like a waste of money, since I'm 100% sure of the

Re: [LegacyUG] Looking in Temporary Interfiles

2016-01-23 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Is the file in Legacy/Data now? If not, it might help to put it there. Then 
after you open it from there the first time, the next time it should open 
properly. This is just a guess, so I might be wrong.

Re: [LegacyUG] Status of TMG importer

2016-01-22 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Jamie, what you said to Mike is exactly what I was talking about. I've been 
using Legacy for some time, but it doesn't sound as if they will be taking that 
road. Even though I really like Legacy, I would consider switching if others 
offered that flexibility and Legacy didn't. Thanks for putting it in a clearer 
post than I did.

   Mike,

 It could be more like Microsoft Office products, where you subscribe to the 
software, such as Word, and you can save your documents in your OneDrive 
account or on your computer or another cloud storage, such as Dropbox.  With 
the OneDrive  (a cloud storage space), you can access documents stored there 
from any computer, pad or smart phone that can open or view a Word document.  
Same for Dropbox.

 Ed,

 I haven't adopted Legacy yet, waiting for the TMG importer as using a gedcom 
to import looses too much of my data.  However, using TMG, I store my files on 
Dropbox.  That way they are backed up should I loose my hard drive.  They are 
also accessible from any other Windows computer running TMG (TMG never 
developed a Mac, iOS or Android app before going out of business).   In fact, 
there are three of us working from three computers in two different states on 
the TMG database.  We coordinate so that we don't have two people manipulating 
the data at the same time. 

 I also store my Legacy data in Dropbox.  So I can install Legacy on my hard 
drive on more than one computer and access the data from each.  Advise to make 
sure you don't have the same data set open on more than one computer at a time. 
 I haven't tested that to see if anything breaks.  Making a change in any 
database while making a change from a second computer usually means one 
person's changes don't get saved or get overwritten.

 I'm using Legacy in the free mode, as I am checking it out and waiting for the 
TMG importer.  So I don't know if they have an Android or iOS app, but yes, 
that would be nice.  Also Mac would be great as I have one researcher that uses 
one and can't help enter data in TMG.  I'm also looking at RootsMagic, which 
does import TMG and does have Android and iOS apps.  I haven't tested the apps 
yet, but did learn that their TMG importer didn't import everything.  I will be 
discussing that with their support staff.  Their exporter to the web has room 
for improvement as well.  Haven't tested Legacy's exporter yet.

 For me, whichever application gets the TMG importer right, that's the one I 
will probably go with.  MacOS is my next priority, followed by iOS and Android.

 Totally different business model. What you're asking would entail running 
Legacy
Family Tree as a Web application rather than as a Desktop application. You
wouldn't then purchase the software, but simply pay a monthly subscription to
use it. In all probability, keeping the data on your PC would incur massive
costs as the data flows back and forth. It then becomes cheaper to keep the data
on the website and you've lost the ultimate ownership of it. Just like using
Ancestry's software to maintain a tree on their website.

Re: [LegacyUG] Status of TMG importer

2016-01-22 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Thanks Sherry. I have a chromebook, an android phone, and a desktop PC. There 
is another possibility for some people who have something like I have. There is 
Chrome Remote Desktop. This will allow you to remotely access your computer, 
with Chrome or Android. This works very well, but if someone else is using the 
PC, they will have to agree to give it up so you can access your files. So it's 
not a perfect solution, but it works with an internet connection. So if you're 
at a family search center, you will be able to access Legacy that resides on 
your PC. It is also secure because you give it a pin number with a minimum of 6 
numerals.

 I don't know of any genealogy programs that are stored on a server.
Those who offer web space, such as Ancestry and other "tree" pages,
have definite problems, mainly the lack of flexibility you get with
desktop programs. Searches, reports, sorts, etc are quite limited.

And when you decide you need something that's more "powerful", the
gedcoms created from those websites are not very good. We've seen some
horrendous issues with them - we deal with them most every day.

 A good desktop program with storage of your data on a cloud service
such as Dropbox works great. If you have a laptop (and most people
have desktop and laptop these days) you can install Legacy on both
computers (yes, you can use your customer number to unlock the Deluxe
features on more than one computer), or other mobile device and use
with Families 2.0, you can work on your data anywhere! You don't even
need an internet connection, which you would need if you're working
with a cloud based program.  Just work on the file that's in Dropbox
on the computer you're using and then when you get connected, it'll
automatically sync to the web and back to your other computer.

Families 2.0 uses a sync program on the desktop to convert the Legacy
file to an iOS or Android format and then you can convert it back to
your Legacy file.

Sherry

Emails might stop being send to people when their number of bounces reaches

Media Center is misleading, particularly when it's still titled Picture Center.
Note the word Picture: image; photograph etc. PDF files are documents. They may

This homemade video ismade with basic screen capture software andisnothing

forviewing and following the steps.
I believe the default viewingbegins with480P. It is much clearer if viewed in 
720P.If it doesn’t switch automatically to 720P,you can make this change under 
settings on the YouTube viewing screen. I hope thismight behelpful to Legacy

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem viewing .pdf files

2014-02-23 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Paul,

Thank you very much for your time. I was pretty sure I chose document as the 
type, but to be sure I reattached the file, being *very* careful to choose 
document. The problem is still the same, but I very much appreciate your 
willingness to help. I just wonder if anyone else has experienced this issue.

FWIW, I'm a very long way from being a computer guru, but I'm not completely at 
the other end either, although much closer.

Ed,
 
A clue as to what might be happening, but I’m not sure how to prove it or fix 
it. Perhaps this suggestion will be enough for others with more specific 
knowledge to assist.
 
I wonder if the ‘type of file’ for the PDF was incorrectly set to picture when 
the link was first established, and when you double click on it it is trying to 
use the built in picture viewer in Legacy and it can’t because the file is a 
PDF. When you attach any media item Legacy 8, you get a drop down menu with 
selections Picture, Sound, Video, Document, Internet Website, or Scan a 
Picture. Back in 7.5, there were four icons, Picture, Sound, Video, or File if 
I remember properly.
 
I’ve never seen any use made of this data element other than if the type is 
picture, it’s tries to use some internal viewer to display the media, and if it 
is anything other than picture, it uses whatever default program you have set 
up for that file type. You obviously have a PDF viewer set up because it opens 
in that viewer elsewhere on your computer (e.g. in Windows explorer).
 
Now the problem. I know of nowhere in Legacy to see what the ‘type of file’ 
originally chosen was when the media was linked, nor any way to change it.
 
I guess you could try reattaching it, making sure you select ‘Document’ from 
the drop down, and see whether it works. But, I admit it doesn’t help much with 
fixing the issue.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not concerned with it not showing up in the Picture 
Center. The Media Gallery shows the .pdf file, but as stated in my original 
post, double clicking on it will not open it. I'm greeted with the message 
There is currently no default media player set up for your computer.  I'm

I have Legacy 8 on my desktop computer and on my laptop. My desktop is Legacy 
8.0.0.397, build date Feb 4. I can not open .pdf files on it. My laptop has not 
been able to access the internet for a while. It's version is 8.0.0.367, build 
date Dec 20. I added the .pdf file on it, and it opens as it should!!

If you have the Feb 4 build date, please try to open a .pdf file if you have 
one in Legacy, and let us know if it's the build or not. Thanks.

[LegacyUG] Lengthy notes in Legacy 8

2014-02-21 Thread Ed Ladendorf
While online, I met a man who had been studying the Civil War for years. He 
wrote a rather lengthy story that was likely to be a very interesting true 
story of my great grandfather's experiences in the Civil War.

It seems to me this story should be placed in the general notes section, but I 
want to be sure I'm not mistaken about this. Or maybe it really has no place at 
all being there?? It is possible that the man he wrote about is not my great 
grandfather (because of spelling variations), but has a high percentage of 
being him. If it should not go in the general notes, where should it go? Thanks 
for any suggestions.

[LegacyUG] Problem viewing .pdf files

2014-02-21 Thread Ed Ladendorf
When I try to view a .pdf file I have in the media center, I get the message 
There is currently no default media player set up for your computer. If I 
double click on a .pdf file anywhere else but Legacy, it opens in Adobe Reader.

I went to Options, Customize, Launch, and set the .pdf file to launch in 
Adobe Reader. I then have the option to launch the file I want. The file opens 
correctly, but if I'm trying to open the file from the media center, I get the 
same message again. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug?

Re: [LegacyUG] media gallery

2014-01-21 Thread Ed Ladendorf
Randy, you didn't get a reply yet, so I'll take a very wild guess. If I'm 
wrong, which I probably am, at least your question will get to the top of the 
list for others to see.

My guess would be that the original which was copied to the media folder was a 
read only file. To check this out, find the original, highlight it, then right 
click to check the properties. This should tell you if it is a read only file, 
and if it is, you should be able to take that characteristic off.

Ron,  It's not that the trust is not there. But I can understand when someone 
is just getting into genealogy, it might be a temptation to publish the data 
without even considering the possible consequences.

I delete all social security numbers, don't include sources unless I really 
know this person, and tell them I do not want my information posted online.
 
I had this experience recently with a distant cousin I never met.  He belongs 
to the LDS church and he told me he doesn't use genealogy software and would be 
posting it to FamilySearch.  I told him I didn't want all my research put there 
and if I did I'd put it there myself.  My thought was since I did all the 
research, why should he get credit for my work so I didn't send him my entire 
file like he requested.  Not happening.  Instead I sent him a very scaled down 
version of my direct lines with just information his mother sent to me years 
ago (she died a couple of months ago) and some new information.  I didn't 
include the sources or any images.
 
I figure if they are really interested in the sources, they can request them 
later.  If they don't, it's a strong possibility they aren't interested in 
researching to verify your data.  This could also mean they are just going to 
post it online so they can have a massive number of names in their tree.
 
Have Legacy remove living people and ones you're not sure are dead.  You may 
have to manually go through the index of individuals to see who doesn't have a 
death date.  If they were born in the 19th century, there's a great possibility 
they are dead.  If you do include sources, I would delete any text attached to 
it.  I know this is a big job, but I've done it for online trees.
 
You've worked hard on your family tree.  Don't give it all away just because 
someone, related or not, is too lazy to do the research themselves.  My tree 
has information I researched pre-Ancestry.com and the old-fashioned way.  I see 
too many people online want the research done for them.
 
I had a guy who claimed to be a well-known writer (Googled him and came up with 
nothing) who wanted all my information, photos, etc. on one particular line.  I 
wouldn't give it to him because he refused to credit myself and other cousins 
who provided the information.  He emailed me recently saying his book was 
coming out soon and he needed a better photo than one he found online.  I told 
him I didn't have one and I was using the same photo he had.  One thing I 
considered is when his book is copyrighted, it will include my information.  
That means if I want to write a book, I can't copyright that same information 
again because he did it already and now he owns my information.  I know of one 
tree on Ancestry that is copyrighted which is why I won't submit my photos to 
it.
 
You never know what someone's intentions are so it might be better to quiz this 
trusted family member a little more before sharing.  Find out what they have 
to offer in return or if they know anything about the family lines they are 
requesting.  I tell all the fakes I've worked hard on my research and it didn't 
all come from Ancestry or other online providers.  If they have nothing to 
offer in return then they are probably newbies.  This is not always a bad thing 
unless they can't share anything about their side of the family.  Some of my 
newbie third cousins, who I've never met, were a big help because they shared 
photos and information I didn't have which led me to new discoveries.
 
Sometimes, like me, you have to be a Scrooge with your data otherwise it will 
end up on someone else's tree where it doesn't belong.  I'm very over 
protective of my data and you do have to worry about identity theft.  I've been 
a victim of it several times and I worry that someone can use identifiable 
information against myself or other family members.  Even dead people are at 
risk.
 
One thing you can do.  Instead of sending a GEDCOM just create a private online 
tree at Ancestry and give them guest access.  The only ones who get a GEDCOM 
from me are cousins I've been working with for years and who we both have a 
trusting relationship.  Sorry for the bloated email.

Leo,

I'm pretty much a rookie, so keep that in mind while reading my reply.

Since he was often recorded as Ivan, I would list that as an AKA. This could 
help others find information that might not be found otherwise.

For your second question, I'll answer with how I handled a similar problem. As 
stated in my original post, my ancestor, Ladendorf, was listed as Lander in the 
1860 census. Under the AKAs, I listed Lander (1860 census) since I viewed 
this as an isolated instance. Others viewing this will immediately know this is 
an isolated case, and they will know where to find him in the 1860 census. I 
think this will work.

 Thanks to everyone for your replies. I'm still fuzzy on it though.

 A Scottish ancestor's birth name was Ewen, but after a few years in Canada he 
 started going by Evan.

 So, I entered Evan as an AKA.

 Often he on documents he is recorded as Ivan. He never signs Ivan, but 
 others (perhaps having trouble with his Scottish accent) would record him as 
 Ivan.

 1. Would you record Ivan as an AKA? He never went by it, but was often 
 recorded as it.

 2. What about the times Ewen was recorded as Ewan or Ewon. Spelling 
 mistakes. Would you record Ewan and Ewon as an AKA?

 Sorry for asking my question again, but had to use some personal examples for 
 better understanding.

   The main reason for me to use many AKAs is the same as an
   earlier poster - so I can find information about someone
   when that person is referred to by one of his sometimes many
   AKAs. When searching the index of a book, say, knowing all
   the names a person has been called (not being funny here),
   makes it possible to know if that person has been mentioned
   in the book.
  
   For me, with thousands of medieval and earlier individuals,
   people were often a duke of this, an earl of that, a comet
   od the other, etc. The women too. These titles changed too;
   some were added, some were taken away by a king, then
   restored; some were called differently depending whether the
   author was Italian, French, Welsh, etc.
  
   Here's one with only a few AKAs that are very relevant when
   searching:
  
   England, AEthelwulf, King of
   Wessex, AEthelwulf, King of England and
   West Saxons, AEthelwulf, King of

   Northumbria, Sibyl Björnsdóttir of
   Bearsson, Sibylla
   Northumbria, AElfled of
   Northumbria, Suben Björnsdóttir of
  
   Don't get me listing all the Welsh and Celtic AKAs that you
   need to research any one individual in those lands!
  
   While I'm working on someone, I remember that, say, that:
  
   Clare, Gilbert the Red de
   -was also known as-
  
   Gloucester, 6th Earl Gilbert the Red de Clare, of
   -as well as-
  
   Hertford, 7th Earl Gilbert the Red de Clare, of
  
  
   But when I'm working on someone else, I may have forgotten,
   so when I come upon reference to the 6th Earl of Gloucester
   or the 7th Earl of Hertford, I can find out by a simple
   search of my index if this is someone I want know more about.
  
   I also use AKAs to have French royalty, say, listed together
   in the index with an AKA of France even if she had a last
   name. Of course, many of those were not known by a last
   name, she would be known as Marguerite of France, say.
  
   As far as that goes, the Plantagenets were never known as
   Plantagenets. That is a fabricated last name to help us.
   Edmund, Earl of Cambridge was also known as Edmund of
   Langley, as Edmund, Duke of York, but not as Edmund
   Plantagenet. It helps us to put in that he was the 1st Duke
   of York and to use Plantagenet as a last name, but
   Plantagenet of actually an AKA.
  
   All of this says nothing about the fact that English
   spelling was not standardized until the 1800s, American
   English even later. Read any early English or American wills
   for examples of spelling variations of the same word within
   the same document.
  
   To sum up, AKAs make research easier. What you want to put
   in your reports depends on your audience.

[LegacyUG] When to use AKAs

2014-01-09 Thread Ed Ladendorf
A direct line ancestor, Heinrich Ladendorf, has been found listed as Henry 
Lander in the 1860 census. He has also been found listed as H Ladendorff (an 
extra F), Henry Landenderf, etc. on different sources. There are several 
other variations.

Would you list every spelling you find, or just the ones where it is obvious 
they should be listed, i.e. Henry Lander or Henry Landenderf? Would you also do 
the same for those who are not direct line? Thanks for any direction. I'm 
trying to get it right this time.

First post here. This has been an interesting thread. I have a woman whose 
maiden name I do not know. For the given name I entered Maria (maiden name 
unknown), and the surname entered was Barbie. Now I'm wondering if I do an

 Agreed but it can be difficult when you don't know the maiden name. I
 started by leaving it blank and then ended up with a collection of
 forenames at the front of my index. So I now go with the married
 surname and a title suffix of spouse. These have the advantage of
 showing in the index in a more appropriate place and also it is easy
 to produce a list by searching for suffix spouse
