Re: [LegacyUG] Splitting A Tree

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

Yes, I split my trees into three [one for a 3rd cousins family] and really 
regret it because there are now people common to each branch of these trees so 
I am going to have to combine them all again – what a nightmare!

I would leave it as is.  Somewhere, down the years, there will be people who 
descend from both your's and your wife's trees and they would appreciate having 
all the information in the one tree.

1. Tag all of your wife's ancestors, and her. But you then need to find and add

records.

2. Preferably, I would remove your marriage and leave your children with only 
one of you. You should then find that you have two trees within the file. If it 
is still one then you have a link between both sets of ancestors which you need 
to resolve. Once you get it to trees then you can export one of them, or just 
remove one and keep the other.

Personally, and especially within a single family tree, I would never split it. 
It is better to just have one tree with the same set of locations etc, and it 
resolves issues with crosslinks further up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding DNA results to Legacy

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

I think you will need to download the certificate from FTDNA, and that will
give you the results from each little location.
These numbers and letters are what you load into Legacy.
However, it is important to understand that Legacy does not provide you with
any means of using this data to sort out matches etc - it is simply a place
to record what tests have been done etc.

If you are looking for a program that will enable you to download and
compare DNA results with those of others, then there are a few specialist
programs that will allow you to do this.

Cheers,
Elizabeth

Subject: [LegacyUG] Adding DNA results to Legacy

This sounds like a terribly newbie type question, but how, practically do I
add my DNA results to Legacy within Legacy 9.0.0.368 ?

I realise, I must go from the Individual's Information Screen >> then DNA
Records, then add the specific test from the appropriate company.

Okay, let's assume I want to add my MtDNA results from FTDNA, for which 
I can see is the Maternal Test I need to add.   The sections are marked 
HVR1, HVR2 & HVR3, for which each column is marked "Location 1," 
Location 2," etc etc.

My question is where do I find for example Location 1's result (and the
rest), since in FTDNA I can see no mention of this, at least for MtDNA
records.

I'm not explaining this too well am I ?  So is there an explanatory video
from Legacy on this please ?

My memory might be failing me now, but I seem to recall there was a way to
copy and paste your results into Legacy, at least for the Y DNA results ?

Thanks - David

Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

Unless your research is always going to be limited to only one country, it is 
really helpful to use the full name whenever possible. 

Throughout the world, the abbreviations used for cities, towns, counties and 
states, and even some countries, can be confusing. I live in Western Australia, 
and the accepted postal address for the state specifies “WA”, but that is 
evidently also an acronym for Washington, as well as Wenatchee, Namibia, 
Warrington [UK], Westford Academy[MA], Westford Academy [Texas], Westminster 
Academy, and so on – all of which could potentially form part of an address.

I agree that using the name at the time of the event is most helpful and other 
information can be added as an alternative, or in notes. 

While it can be frustrating to have to revise one’s ideas and practices, the 
more we conform to the accepted international standard, the easier we make 
things for those we share research with, now or in the future. I started 
genealogy so long ago, I only had boxes and paper files to work with. When the 
time came to enter all the data into a computer, it was really daunting, but I 
managed. As the computer programs became more complex, I have had to keep 
improving my skills and data entry – again, daunting and time-consuming, but 
the brain is being challenged and recording the information is getting easier, 
so I remain grateful:)

The problem with using the abbreviation for a state is that another country may 
use the same abbreviation which will be confusing.  eg: CA could be California 
or Canada.  I have heard people in Australia say that they have no idea what 
the two-letter abbreviations for US states mean.

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage 50% off offer question

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

I think you will find that there are different prices for different
countries. e.g Australians are often expected to pay more for sites
regardless of exchange rates, e.g. ancestry is cheaper for UK members, so if
one pays through the UK site you get a better deal.

Not sure how that works with MyHeritage but it is a practice I really
dislike.

Re: [LegacyUG] Difference between 8 and 9

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

Many thanks for the new Legacy Deluxe V9.

I really appreciate that when I installed it and opened it up, it looked 
exactly the same as V8. I had followed the procedures earlier in the week – so 
good to have them work well:)

 

I had bought Geoff’s book “Unlocked” some time ago after I had seen the webinar 
about breaking down brick walls. Not only did the book show me some new 
‘shortcuts’ that I had not been aware of, although I have been a Legacy user 
for many years, but it demonstrated clearly how to use many of the features in 
V9 that are now available. 

 

A feature I had hoped would be included, but has not been, is the ability to 
add to the list of ‘Available DNA Tests’ because I would like to include the 
autosomal tests – not for the results, but so that I can indicate whether they 
have had the testing done. As I am looking at various brick walls, being able 
to check who has been tested in that family line would provide a clue for 
further research. At the moment, I have to open up a different program to check 
which relations have been tested, and what their kit numbers are. Being able to 
include basic GEDMatch and DNAGEDCOM information would be helpful too, for the 
same reason. 

This is because all of the information about a person that affects their 
genealogy can be recorded. eg I could hashtag  everyone who has been tested and 
do a printout showing where they were tested and when. Then, for example, I 
could compare this with the new DNA charts that are now available. 

I will send this request through to developers, but thought it was worth a 
mention here.

 

Kind regards, 

Elizabeth

Subject: [LegacyUG] However . RE: Question regarding the DNA feature in 
Legacy

 

Dear Legacy users who are interested in DNA tests for genetic matches:

 

Counter-Point to Cathy’s response to Crystal and other Legacy users who have 
autosomal DNA test results:

 

It’s simply not useful or practicable for anyone to place Mb of autosomal DNA 
raw data into a Legacy event, since it would not serve any purpose (that I can 
see) to use for comparing DNA-sequence matches, because Legacy and its 
integrated FamilySearch database do not yet support autosomal DNA tests to 
evaluate possible genetic relationships; i.e.,

 

1.   I participated in the mentioned AncestryDNA webinar hosted by Geoff 
and (not an insult, just factual) a not-so-expert colleague, where they viewed 
his AncestryDNA autosomal results; however, (as stated above) Legacy and 
FamilySearch do not support autosomal DNA test results yet, so this webinar was 
not very practical for most Legacy users, and it had only partial rudimentary 
information that most AncestryDNA users (except brand-new novices) would 
perhaps find useful, which is more clearly and completely discussed in 
AncestryDNA tutorials and at other better DNA analyses websites.  

 

2.   AncestryDNA is very limited and a relatively poor DNA analyses 
service, since it has no genetic analyses tools (like chromosome browsers 
offered by other DNA analyses websites), and it uses fixed undefined genetic 
matching algorithms that have resulted in highly variable results with 
potential matches over short time periods. For example, I have 4 family 
members’ autosomal DNA results at AncestryDNA, which have changed dramatically 
or even totally eliminated valid associations with close relatives’ “Circles” 
(~ triangulated genetic matches of 3 or more closer relatives); this is most 
likely due to AncestryDNA’s undocumented subjective changes in math algorithms 
used to report autosomal DNA sequence matches due to more restrictive and 
conservative criteria (which tend to omit valid genetic matches, such as 
previously appeared in many of my prior Circles of close family units).

 

3.   Experienced DNA analysts often report, and I fully agree from long and 
broad experiences for multiple reasons, that the best current website to use 
for autosomal DNA evaluations is GEDmatch.com; FamilyTreeDNA.com is usually 
considered second best, 23andMe.com follows, then a newcomer is MyHeritage.com 
with fairly good autosomal DNA matching and a huge European database of family 
trees, and AncestryDNA is in last place for helping to best determine genetic 
matches from autosomal DNA results.  The main reasons for this ranking of 
usefulness and relative success are:

 

* GEDmatch has many powerful DNA analyses tools, where you can match 
either or both your uploaded autosomal DNA results (GEDmatch does not provide 
testing services, just good DNA analyses) and/or your family tree relationships 
that you upload for FREE from a GEDcom file; their chromosomal browser and 
graphical presentations of results with clear definitions are excellent, and 
they allow you (with appropriate explanations, caveats and warnings) to 
customize selection criteria for genetic matches that can really help determine 
if you and a particular individual share DNA sequences in the same segments of 
a specific chromosome, or not – very valuable tool, along with the 2-D and 3-D 
chromosomal browser graphics and simple matrix reports plus detailed 
triangulation tools and much more.  Maybe this sounds complicated, but GEDmatch 
makes it quite easy to use and understand what you are doing and why and what 
it means in terms of potential genetic matches; again, a stark contrast from NO 
such tools or similar information provided by the meager AncestryDNA.

* FTDNA costs $39 to upload your autosomal DNA, and they have some good 
DNA analytical tools – especially their Family Finder and a chromosome browser; 
they are sponsored by National Geographic, and they now offer the most 
affordable autosomal DNA tests at $59 during December (else the tests cost $99)

* MyHeritage just began to let members upload autosomal DNA for FREE, 
and they contract with FTDNA to analyze and report potential matches back to 
members in their family trees; however, they have no tools to conduct more 
detailed genetic match evaluations

* 23andMe has a good long reputation, but has focused more on 
specialized and less informative tests (to use for genetic matching of closer

Legacy's list.  I can only assume that's because the initial list has not
been updated or perhaps the programmers don't know what use it would be
because there's basically no test data to record. -- 23andMe is the only
testing company that provides basic Y and mt haplogroup information with an
autosomal test (and unfortunately it causes many testees to believe they
also need those to match!)

GEDmatch is not a DNA testing company so should not be in the list.  
There should however be a place (the test Notes?) to record an uploaded
GEDmatch kit ID when the autosomal testing company is selected.  But
currently, since the testing company cannot be selected this doesn't apply.

So you need to create a new event such as "Autosomal-DNA test" and use it to
record the testing company, and GEDmatch kit number, etc.  
I find this works better than the DNA Records area because it's visible from
the Individual's Information window without further clicking.

Obviously you could uniquely tag these individuals for a DNA flag but that
would be a separate action on your part.

Millennia could have done so much more to make Legacy useful to genetic
genealogists but didn't, and it wasn't from lack of suggestions by myself
and other ISOGG members!  Why useless DNA selections were incorporated when
no features were using them has never made sense to me.  Legacy 9 will
apparently have a mediocre use of them in Charting but still nothing really
worthwhile.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding 23and Me DNA results to Legacy?

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

Thanks Dave N.
I realise I did not think my question out clearly enough.

What I should have asked is why does Legacy not include 23andMe and GEDmatch
in the list of options. 
What I really want to be able to do, is for anyone who I know has been
tested:
1) tick the box for one of the DNA test companies and then,
2) add the Kit Number and,
3) add the haplogroup and,
4) add what family names the test results relate to, or confirm.

If I can assign a tag or colour to these results, that would be helpful.

Regards,
Elizabeth

You don't!  Legacy does not even have 23andMe listed as a test provider.  To
overcome this deficiency I have created a separate "DNA test" event to
record individuals that have taken DNA tests.  
Unfortunately that alone doesn't colour the DNA icon.

However, your question was about adding 23andMe (autosomal) test results to
Legacy.  What sense is there in doing this?  Legacy cannot do anything with
them.  If you have looked at your results you will see there are about
600,000 lines of data.  I doubt you'd want to type them in!
If on the other hand you only want to show the Y and mt haplogroups (which
actually have nothing to do with an autosomal test) then add them to the
notes of a specific event that you create.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing

Thanks, Cathy.

The sad thing is that when I started family history years ago, there were no 
computers, and then as things progressed, the ability to do more and more with 
greater degrees of accuracy and references developed amazingly. But… as I 
transitioned through a couple of different programs some of the data transfer 
and referencing did not happen as it should so I now realize that I will have 
to set aside an enormous amount of time to go through and put it to rights.

Elizabeth,
I'm one of them.
Say I'm entering a Source that is an Index rather than a transcription - like 
South Australian Birth, Death or Marriage Indexes on FindMyPast.

I find the entry on FindMyPast and I copy the whole entry and then names and 
dates and locations that I require either for data entry or to complete my 
Source.
Then I start entering the data in Legacy. I set up the Source Clipboard putting 
the whole entry in the Source Detail text and making up the Source Detail with 
a combination of some of what I've copied and boiler text I have previously 
saved in the M8 clipboard which shows in a different column.
Then I enter the data again just pasting the relevant dates and names from the 
M8 clipboard and source it all with the Source Clipboard that I've set up.
So I only have to look at my source on FindMyPast once rather than go to and 
fro - and t he typing I need to do on data entry is minimal to none.
The M8 clipboard sits where you put it and on top of other windows so is easily 
accessible - or when you're not using it you can minimise it to Taskbar or 
System Tray.

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10? and Clipboard question

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

I have Windows 10 and find this problem occurs intermittently with a number of 
programs/apps including Outlook, so for me it is not just a Legacy problem.

 

To the lady who talked about using M8 Free Clipboard: would you mind explaining 
in more detail how you use the program for sourcing. I thought my system was 
working well, but now realize that I could do a lot better if I tried the 
clipboard.

I recall that annoyance with resizing the Legacy window as having been around 
since at least Legacy version 7. I typically use a split screen mode with 
Legacy taking up ½ and a browser window on the other half. But whenever I have 
to resize the Legacy window, it takes several mouse attempts with it just 
springing back to its original size. In other words, the resizing attempt does 
not stick until the 3rd or 4th attempt. Certainly not life threatening but 
merely annoying. Legacy is the only application that exhibits this behavior. It 
has nothing to do with Windows 10.

Re: [LegacyUG] Identification of "UnKnown" name

[Elizabeth Verchio]

If you use 2 brackets on either side of whatever you put between, it 
becomes invisible in some reports.

For unknown maiden names I do the follow:
Johnie Doe is the husband, his wife is Sally UNKNOWN
In Sally's surname field I enter  [[JohnieDoe]]
This way, when I see her name in a list I can more readily identify who 
she is.
I also have a tag for unknown surnames.  When I want to work on missing 
surnames, I Search on the tag number.
Everybody seems to have their way of dealing with unknown names, mostly 
it depends on how you want that person to look in reports, charts, and 
if you do or do not want to use Legacy's built in search for missing data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Autocapitalizing location?

[Elizabeth Lindsay]

I periodically go through the Master Lists, especially the surname list and 
location list, to check that all the entries are correct. I often find that 
when I have entered a location I have missed a letter, or reversed a couple of 
letters, or that I need to find out more information about a place. 

 

“Don’t change what I enter” is really useful because family names/ surnames can 
have a mix of lower and upper case, e.g de la Pole, de Vallibus, etc. so while 
I set the program so that the first name is automatically capitalised, I want 
the family/surname to be as I enter it. If I make an error, it is easy to fix 
by editing the surname list.

Note that if you've chosen Initial Caps, once you enter one capital, it reverts 
to Don't change what I enter as Legacy assumes you know what you're doing once 
you add capitals. See the Help which explains this.

That's a weird auto-capitalisation though.

If you're using Legacy 8, you could go to Customiuse>Option 3.6 and 
check "Don't change what I enter", but this could be problematic if 
you aren't careful about capitalisation when ent ering other locations.

Re: [LegacyUG] Geo-Location Tool

Morris, thank you for asking the question, and Brian, thank you for
giving the answer. I made the change and entered a new location in the
Events box, click the Geo Location Icon the new location is displayed
with the Country "USA" just as the default edit had been set. Yeah!
Which got me to thinking is it also possible to:
1. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default leave out the
country USA?
2. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default the 2 letter
abbreviation for the State?  i.e. Alabama would be AL.
If so, how?
3. in the Location Short Name Field, can the default be City, ST
(leaving out the county name)? i.e Birmingham, Jefferson, Alabama, USA
in the Long Name Field would be Birmingham, AL in the short name.
As Morris pointed out, it sure would save a lot of editing.

Thanks Laird, I will check out eBay. Hadn't considered that route.  For
less than $15 it might be worth a try.

Re: [LegacyUG] cfg to Legacy

[Elizabeth Verchio]

Thank you Bryan/Support - now I understand the different types of
responses to my initial inquiry.  I know I have a dyslexic tendency when
I type, and thought I had proofed to catch any error - guess I didn't.
I am so very sorry for the confusion I caused.
Thank you Steve Hayes for your response.  I do know the file was created
by a now defunct family tree software and that the file does contain
data-- I have opened a copy of the file with Notepad.  Editing with
Notepad is out of the question, so,  I will search for someone who has
the program and is willing to help me with the data in my .cgf file.
Thank you, everyone, for all the assistance and suggestions, and again,
sorry for the confusion.

Re: [LegacyUG] cgf to Legacy

[Elizabeth Verchio]

Thanks Russ, the website you suggested seems to offer the software. I'm
not interested in purchasing more software. I'm hoping that someone has
_Mindscape Family Tree Creator Deluxe_ on their computer and will
volunteer to help me with this file.
The file is named "McDowellDescendents" which suggests it is a
descendent chart. On the copy I opened in Notepad, I see full names but
not much else that is identifiable.
Thank you all, Sherry, Brian and Russ, for responding with suggestions
and additional information.
One never receives if one does not ask. So, I'm asking if anyone has
this program, would you consider helping me access the data in the file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Census event vs source

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
It seems to me that personal
preference is determined somewhat by the desired Report
results.  As a test, enter Census Event as desired or in any of
the ways offered in this exchange, then run all the different
reports selecting different report options - which can make your
head swim, then decide what gives you the 'best' desired
results.   Keeping in mind you can always take a report into an
editing program and edit out or in as desired. 
One rule I have is - if the birth-date of a person has a
variation of 2 years or less over the course of 3 or more
Census.  I only use the earliest Census (if no other birth
source has yet been found) for the birth-date.  If a later
census offers a birth-date of 3 or more years, I will enter an
Alt. Birth with that Census as a Source.  Same with name
variations, if a person is William in the earliest census and
Bill in a later one, etc.  
I often list neighbors on either side of the family in
Text/Comments of the Source Detail (where I also enter the
entire family for all the categories of that particular Census)
- have made some wonderful discoveries by doing that.  Also I
always Check the Box 'Add this Text to the Source Citations on
Reports'.  This does cause some redundancy, but, I rather have
it than not.

As an aside, I'm sorry for the added characters in my e-mail
text - Mozilla Thurderbird for some unknown reason just adds
them once the email is sent.

It's just that they are duplicated information.

  
  
I have Census Events and Censuses as Sources but there is not a lot of
duplication.

I put all the information from the Census about each Individual in the
Description field and the Residence in the Location field.  (Some people
don't like to do this.)  I use the Notes to list all the other members
of the household and sometimes extra information such as "John's parents
were living next door."

The Source includes the Census reference, the date, the Civil Parish &
County and details of the website where I viewed the Census and I attach
a copy of the image, but I do not repeat all of the information entered
in the Event.

(If I was producing a Report which included Census Events for 2 or more
people in the same household I would not repeat the Event Notes for
everyone, just include them for the Head of Household or other person as
appropriate.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Census event vs source

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
Kathy, not sure what are you asking! 
  So, I will offer some hopefully words of wisdom gained from 20+
  year of ancestry research.
  Cleaning up data is always a good idea.  Legacy offers several
  different reports and it depends on your personal preference as to
  how you want reports to include / to look.  Example, I was scolded
  by an experienced TMG user that my reports included too much
  information from Census.  Personally, I like all the information
  about the family group to be in my reports, that way I am more
  confident I am recording the correct family of interest (though I
  have been wrong).  I have learned to hold my ancestry loosely so
  that when proven wrong it does not hurt so much when I have to
  delete what was believed to be a direct line.
  Using Legacy's Source Writer is always a good idea - don't get
  hung-up on the changes  that have come about through the years.  I
  do most (99.9%) my research on ancestry.com (copy/paste/download
  jpgs) and am careful to note all relevant information so that
  anyone looking at my notes/database would be able to find the
  source/record referenced.  The few occurrences where I have actual
  source (photos, Bibles, birth/death/marriage certificates) I am
  careful to create a source that indicates where the actual source
  is at the time (though that may/will change with time).  I  too
  like to create a Census Event in the timeline of a persons life as
  that is a point in time where a person and or family can be
  pin-pointed at a particular place at a particular time.  If the
  Census gives an address, I will create another Event that list
  Residence at that address with the Census as Source.  Most of my
  family is rural so Residence/Address usually means a road name or
  Township/Range and sometimes only a Post Office which does not
  always mean they actually live in the County where the Post Office
  is located.
  Not sure any of this help.  I too was once a
  newbeeflyingbytheseatofmypantswithoutanyguidancewantingtoknowmyfamilyhistory. 
  
  Kathy, keep asking questions, keep digging, keep researching.  The
  journey is worth all the setbacks and disinterested persons your
  encounter along the way.  I do family research for me and me
  alone.  If I can share something with others I consider it a
  bonus!  Unfortunately there are A LOT of children living on planet
  earth today.

  I haven't worked on my family history much over the

I'm finding things I sourced very poorly 'back when I
  started' (haha!)  Somewhere along the line I did start to use
  sources and events more fully and I like creating the Census
  event and including ALL of the details in the event notes (BTW
  - I L.O.V.E. the event sharing option that I just learned to
  use)  I include the census page image in the Media portion of
  the event itself.


Prior to using Events for that, I simply "sourced' entries,
  like birth, name, etc. individually with the Census SOURCE so
  I would know exactly where I got that information, which makes
  lots of sense to me; otherwise, if I got the birth year (for
  instance) from the 1920 census, I would have to guess that I
  got it from the Census EVENT and then go check it.  So I know
  I need to have that SOURCE with the census information for
  each field that it applies to.


S.right now, as I'm going through these old ones, I
  am doing BOTH.  I'm creating the Census EVENT and then adding
  the Census SOURCE to the event itself (otherwise it wouldn't
  have all the nitty gritty source details about where it was
  found etc) and then copying that source to the clipboard and
  adding it to the applicable fields, which is seems like too
  much but also seems necessary so that I know where information
  came from.   If I were creating an individual from scratch, it

Re: [LegacyUG] install Legacy

Discovered what was I was doing wrong,
  possibly this will help someone.
  I have a User sign-in on my new Windows 10 computer that is not
  the Administrator.  When I downloaded Legacy Software, I used the
  Administrator sign-in.  When I tried to download the GeoDB I was
  signed in with my User sign-in - which wouldn't work.  Yesterday,
  I signed as the Administrator, opened Legacy, clicked as Chap
  describes below and wala!  GeoDB downloaded and completed install
  in a couple of seconds.  Happy dance!
  Thanks for encouragement, Chap.

Re: [LegacyUG] Run Time error 91

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

I had exactly the same problem last winter and spent ages and ages trying
to resolve it.  In the end I installed Legacy on my husband's laptop where
it works perfectly, so I think there is some basic problem with my own
laptop. I can do most things all right but if I get those Errors again, I
just go to the other computer, sort it on that machine and then take the
database over to mine with the adjustment made.

I'm hoping that with the new Windows 10 I may find it is all right on mine.

  Anything entered in death or burial fields can trigger the switch

  You might also check for death and burial sources though I don't

Re: [LegacyUG] Run-time error 3021. No current record.

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
Since v8 I've had on and off problems
  with a Run-time error which would cause the program to close.
  I reported the problem several times over the past 7 months with
  pretty much the same response/results as you have had, Cathy. 
  Finally, this week, Jairmie in Tech support gave me the steps to
  completely remove Legacy software and all the files that also need
  to be deleted, and then reload the program.  I finished that
  yesterday at 5:08 PM - not another error, crash, freeze since. 
  True time will tell.  On Monday, I couldn't work more than 4
  minutes without the error and crash.  I spend nearly 9 hours a day
  working with Legacy Family Tree Software and have over 33,600
  individuals with lots of photos, documentation, etc..  I use a lot
  of the features, but and aware there are many I have not even
  touched.  Anyway, 
  If you still have the email with your ticket number, you might
  want to click the link "View this Ticket Online" and write another
  comment about the continuing problem, what you have done and how
  it continues to occur.
  As we all will agree, Legacy Family Software is very complicated
  and for the price we get a lot of functionality.
  Legacy Family Software has a great development and support team
  and I totally appreciate them and all they do to continue to
  improve the product as well as to support us users.
  So, hopefully something here helps, and good luck,

  Hello Cathy.

  
  Yes, I do usually edit the sentences before generating

  problem I have is not caused by having edited the sentence
  definitions.
  

I have reported this problem to Support several times and
they seem to think telling me to run File Maintenance is an
adequate response. Running File Maintenance usually makes
the problem go away for a while, then it comes back. If it
happened once a month, I could live with it, but I don't
seem to be able to go more than a few hours using Legacy
without it occurring. It's not just with one file, or an old
file either: it occurs on many different files, and has
occurred within half an hour of starting a new, empty file.

  Hi Pete,

I'm not Sherry but a comment or two which may or may not be
related.

The Event Sentence Definitions you show are the Legacy
Default sentences.

However, your use of the Description field suggests you need
to edit the
sentences.
I edit them as I mainly have UK censuses and put the head of
household
in the Description field. I have a separate events for the
few US and
Canadian censuses I have.

That wouldn't cause the error though.

I can't recall if you said the error keeps returning if you
export to a
new file or only when you just do a check/repair.

Many people work with their family file in a non default
position
without encountering this error.

Why don't you work with Support direct since this is a
persistent error
for you but not for others?

[LegacyUG] Media issue - Error 3163

[Elizabeth Moseley]

Hello all,
I am using Legacy 8 and have not had any significant problems until I decided 
to keep all my genealogy files and photos on OneDrive. I started getting Error 
3163 when backing up my media files (file path too long). After rearranging my 
folders to eliminate most of my subfolders and still getting this error, I gave 
up and just stopped backing up the media files. (I had them in One Drive anyway 
so I wasn’t going to loose them.)

Recently I decided to stop using OneDrive and moved my Legacy file and all 
genealogy photos to my computer. After moving the files, I relinked all media. 
Everything was linked and going smoothly until I tried a backup to my computer 
and included the media. My friend 3163 showed up again.

So, I went to Picture Center to check my 3000+ photos. In the Picture Center 
Name List many of the already attached photos seem to have 2 paths/targets.
For example:
C:\Users\Elizabeth\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\Branching Out v 2014-media 
2014-08-04 8.26.16PM\
Users\Elizabeth\Desktop\Genealogy\1 Jennings Family\Cemetery\Saxon 
Cemetery\Fred A Barge Jr. grave.jpg.

If that’s the path, no wonder Legacy says its too long! Can anyone tell me how 
to get just 1 path rather than the 2?

Here’s another issue: the second path above is referencing a folder that no 
longer exists. I eliminated it in an effort to reduce the number of subfolders.
I believe the path should be C:\Users\Desktop\Genealogy 1\Jennings 
Family\Cemetery/Fred A Barge Jr. grave.jpg.
Do I need to unlink everything and start over?

Many Thanks Everyone! I greatly appreciate your suggestions.


Elizabeth Moseley

Re: [LegacyUG] ENTERING CENSUS SOURCES

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
Dito Eliz
Hanebury - personal experience on my part, no an uploaded GEDCOM
with photo, Census citations etc will not be linked on
Ancestry.com  Often you will even get a Source labeled:
Unsourced Citation.  Depending what information you include in
what fields in Legacy, Ancestry.com handles events, citations,
jpgs differently.  For example, when I add a Census to an
Individual in Legacy I transcribe the entire family information
into the Legacy Assigned Sources "Text Comments".  When I
uploaded the GEDCOM to ancestry.com all those transcriptions
were listed in the ancestry.com Citation Information with the
proper Census but the link to the actual Census and image is
not.   I don't believe you would be pleased with that result
according to your comment.  If you want a jpg on ancestry.com it
has to be uploaded after your tree is created.  Having your
Legacy Tree will make linking jpg and other files easier. 
I agree with Eliz about uploading a very small tree to practice
on to see if you get the results you want, make sure your sample
has lots of different types of Sources so you can see how they
are handled.  It is VERY laborious to have to do 'housekeeping'
on ancestry.com. After I obtained Legacy Family Tree (v6 was my
first) I began keeping duplicate trees as I my original trees
were with Family Tree Maker and ancestry.com which I inherited
from now deceased family members who started our big family
tree.  Just as a note, the newer versions of Family Tree Maker
has a sync feature that is nice but it creates LOTS of duplictes
- both individuals and Events if one is not very careful when
running the sync process. 
Also, you can't actually delete an ancestry.com tree once it is
created.  Nor can you merge a GEDCOM to an existing Ancestry.com
tree.  Honestly, given my experience over the last 10+ years
follow Eliz's advice, see how it works and if you still want
your tree on ancestry.com start with a new tree created one
individual at a time so you will have the results you want. 
Hope something here helps you and maybe other LUG members who
are looking into uploading the Legacy tree to Ancestry.com.

Should I COPY and PASTE the data in the Ancestry address bar into Legacy
Media Gallery / Internet Website?

Does this address info upload via a GEDCOM?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to replace one parent?; and how enter an individual with no data?

As a new
  user of Legacy, I'm asking for help from experienced users
  about several issues.

      There must
be a simple way to replace one parent with another
individual, but I haven't found it yet.  Unlinking
removes links to both parents.  
  

  

  

My preference is to add the new parent - with
  person who needs a new parent in the Family View, Right Click >
  Add > Parents, this brings up the Parents List.  From there
  chose the option that best fits the situation.  After the new
  parent is linked. in the Parents List, Unlink from child the wrong
  parent (if it is a married couple both names will be displayed).




  

  

  Also
is there a way to jump from editing an individual,
reached from a marriage record or a location screen,
right to that person's family screen rather than being
returned to where you started the edit. 



    How do you recommend adding a new
  individual, usually a female, whom you know existed and
  have some bit of info about, but for whom you have no
  name.  

Legacy does not like use of "Unknown" but it
  won't allow addition of a record with no name whatsoever. 
  Similarly, how do you best enter a widow into a new

  marriage,
usually a female, where you know her prior married name
but not her maiden name. 
  

  

  

Lately I have been using double brackets
  [[surname]] when I don't know the maiden or surname.  Not perfect,
  but, it works for me (for now).  If I know a woman's previous
  married name I would enter [[surnameMrs]] or if I know her
  previous husband's given name I will enter [[husbandnameMrs]] in
  her surname field. Example: Molly MNU was previously married to
  John Fields - I would enter her name: Given name: Molly; Surname
  [[JohnFieldsMrs]]. I would also John Fields aa spouse for Mary MNU
  even if I don't know dates, locations, etc.  Or, if I didn't want
  to do that, I would enter and Event for Molly.  Even Name:
  Marriage; Event Description: John Fields: Event Date (if known);
  Even Location: (if known) Event Note: whatever I know about her
  previous marriage.  This allows you to search on Marriage events
  in the future and allows you to see at a glance a bit of Molly's
  history and known information.
  Hope this helps

Re: [LegacyUG] Oh-oh!

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
Several weeks ago I had the exact
  'Oh-oh! event when over 5,000 people who were not previously
  linked to a location (In the Master Location List) was suddenly
  linked -  seems the events were pretty much the way you described
  them, Brian.  I just sat and looked at the screen for about 10
  minutes - I was too shocked to move!  That was when I looked into
  the Legacy e-mail group to see if it had happened before.  By the
  time I got signed up, able to access and search entires I was so
  frustrated that I just restored my most recent back-up, from the
  night before, and in the process lost several hours of editing. 
  As you commented maybe just one of those "one-in-a-million"
  chances.  Well, mine makes it a 2 in a million.  After that
  happened, I have set a better routine to back-up alternating
  between 2 files every hour or so, and when I am ready to end for
  the day I back-up to the oldest file and another file on a 
  (mirrored) drive on my network.  Currently, I am cleaning up data,
  locations, linked photos, and changing the way I enter burial
  information.  Needless to say - having over 5000 profiles to
  suddenly be linked to a location that had nothing to do with their
  live is, well, let me just say I was not a happy camper, ill is a
  better description! But, it did get me joined up to this users
  group where I have gained a lot of good, helpful tools.  Thanks
  everybody.

I’m
sure this was some random event that can never be duplicated
and there is nothing a user can do to avoid it other than a
one-in-a-million chance of it happening again. The most
important thing is to have a recent backup.
 
Now,
speaking of recent backups, I had another oh-oh moment when
I looked in my Data folder and found only one backup from a
month ago. I know I have backed up more than that. Seems the
most recent update of Legacy also changed my custom Data
location back to the default C:\Users\Name\My Documents…. I
never store any data, whether it be Legacy or any other
program on the C: drive. That’s the target of any virus so I
move data to a different drive. OK, so I’m paranoid. Easy to
have a custom location do when your system has 2 terabytes
of drive storage. Sitting on my C: drive were 22 backups
which were merely copied over to my custom drive
designation. And on my next forced backup, I made sure I
changed the location. Guess I was too quick to click the
mouse for the past month and never noticed the location had
changed. I’ll watch this on the next update to see if it
happens again.

I have 42,237 individuals, 32,434

  If yours is taking hours for 9000 individuals I would think there
  is corruption in your file.
  I back up several times a day using 2 or 3 different file names. 
  I run Check/Repair often, especially after I have deleted files,

  Brian has made several good suggestions.  Hope something I have

Most people would probably RESET the computer but by doing so you stand a good chance of corrupting the database. You'd better hope that you have a recent backup. And don't they recommend you to backup BEFORE doing a Check/Repair?

Here are some things that I might consider. Go to the Task Manager, Applications, and then End Task on all other applications that may be running other than Legacy. I would then go to the Processes tab, and click on the CPU column to determine what was hogging all the CPU cycles, and kill off any processes that I knew were unnecessary at this time. This is risky unless you knew what was needed and what is not but after several hours, you have to do something. And if it was the Legacy application and process that had the system hung, I guess one has no choice but to reboot and hope for the best.

Re: [LegacyUG] Map My Family Tree

[Elizabeth Verchio]

  
  
I have attempted to use it.  Problem,
  if you do not enter location names in the format Map My Family
  Tree (MMF) likes, the maps are pretty much useless!  A list or the
  locations MMF doesn't recognize is created but it doesn't tell you
  why it doesn't recognize the name.  If you only have city, county,
  state, country in the location field, (without the word "county"
  you have better results.  If you follow the rules about listing
  the location as it was at the time of the event - MMF doesn't
  handle that either.
  Not sure this helps, sorry.  After a few attempts, I have not
  spent any more time working with the application. Possibly other
  users have some insight they could share.

Re: [LegacyUG] Immense Frustration

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Error 48 and Error 91 more or less FIXED

Several of you know that I have been struggling with these two errors for
some weeks now.  I have tried everything imaginable - and some pretty
unimaginable, taking hours at a time - but today although the errors were
both mentioned, by saying 'No', the program didn't crash.  I have been able
to search and get a list without problems and file/repair without crashing.

I took the advice given with the result that my drivers have been updated,
my Windows Update has been run and failed updates re-run.  I use CCleaner
and took the plunge to clean the registry (but kept a backup in case) and
finally disabled a Security program supplied by my bank (Trusteer Endpoint
Protection) but I really don't know if these affected anything.

Anyway, I am reasonably happy now.  Thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Immense Frustration

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

No, I haven't tried with the sample file but someone on the LUG has replied
offline and is advising.  It may be a problem with Microsoft updates.  I'll
report when it's solved - if it is!

[LegacyUG] Immense Frustration

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

​I have had problems for weeks and weeks now, the first time in November
2014.  I have run every conceivable update for Microsoft, cleaned the
registry​, de-fragged, changed anti-virus programs done several complete
uninstalls and re-installs of Legacy 8, updated Legacy, made new copies of
my family file under different names and I am STILL completely stuck with
being unable to run a Name List search or carry out File/Maintenance.

At one point, my family file was sent to Support and they found nothing
wrong.  Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

Any ideas PLEASE?
Elizabeth

[LegacyUG] Error 91

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

I am going round in circles - I try to do a File Maintenance Check/Repair
on my family file and it answers with Error 91 - Try doing a File
Maintenance Check/Repair.

I have tried closing and restarting Legacy but am not achieving anything.
I'm sorry, I did look in the Archives but to no avail.

I wish you would use a larger type.  On my machine it comes out almost
too small to read - I can with a magnifying glass.

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

One final (I hope) silly question, but I want to make sure I do this
correctly...

When they receive the .zip file, should they save it to the C:/Legacy/Data
file or to the C:/Legacy/Backups file..or doesn't it matter where they
save it?

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

HmmI am confused again. They do have the same Legacy program I do so
that is not a problem.

If I send a zip file, how should they open it?
I was told by others who helped me with the mess I had that a file should
never ever be opened from a zip file???

Thank you, Jenny. I do regularly backup my hard drive...everything that has

[LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

More of my comments inserted in Cathy's email below but also new questions
from me...

Elizabeth
=

What you need to do in Legacy is Restore your latest zip. Make sure you
control where the file is restored to and give it a new name without all
those [1]'s.

*[I have just restored my .zip file - and renamed it - and put it in the
C:/Legacy/Data folderand the .fdb file is also showing up in that
folder..is that the way it should be, or should the .zip file and .fdb
file be in different folders?? I don't think I had a choice to put each one
in a different folder when doing the restore.]*

Then continue backing up as you are doing (though you may want to choose a
different folder or drive) AND make sure you open the fdb file from where
you saved it.



*[I created a new folder in C drive - C:/LegacyBackups/ and put the backup
in there. Is that the correct thing to do?*
*"Where" is the correct place for the .fdb file that I should be using when
I open Legacy?]*


To be absolutely sure you open the right file, set your option at Options >
Customize (1.2 in Legacy 8 - on the general tab in Legacy 7) to open this
file. Make sure you browse to the file in an ordinary folder - NOT a "zip
folder". The problem is that Windows shows you the contents of zips as if
they are a folder and you can open things from within them.

*[I do understand what I have been doing wrong and how it happened. Now all
I want to do is make sure that I am understanding the correct way to do it.
It happened mainly because I did not know about .zip files, and because I'm
usually in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to the 'IE5' destination.]*

*[One more thing...should I delete all those files with all the '[1]s'
added to them..after I have restored all my family files?]*

[LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

Cathy, I am inserting my comments in brackets within part of your email
below

Elizabeth

So what you are doing wrong is that at some stage you went looking for a
file and opened it from within a zip file.

*[Yes, I must have done that at some point but I would not have realized it
was wrong to do because I've never worked with any other .zip files
before.]*

If your options are set to open the last file, it then reopens from within
the zip it seems.

*[My options were set to "Always prompt for starting family file" because I
have several different family files. Apparently I opened all of them from
within the .zip file at some point because they all have the added '[1]s']*

Which folder do you think your data is in? Are the backups going to the
same place or not?

*[The backups go to C:/Legacy/Data. I don't know where any other Legacy
files are located. My C:/Legacy/Data folder only has .zip files in it
(shown as folders). And you are correct, the .zip files are displayed as
folders in the left pane and it displays the .fdb files in the right pane.]*




I hope you can follow all this.
Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

As far as opening my .fdb file from within the .zip file.I must
have done that at some point and from then on I just never paid any
attention to where the backup was being saved. It didn't even cross my mind
to check because the program seemed to be working fine and all the info I
added was always saved, so everything seemed ok.

I am also usually in a hurry when I enter info into my family tree because
I can only work on it 'as I have time'.

Another thing is that I really have never worked with any other .zip files
before so I had no Idea that it was wrong to open a file from within it.

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

Hello Jenny,
 I have always used the Backup function, never thinking about it whether it
saved my newest entered data. I just assumed that it did.

I did not know that Legacy automatically 'saves' whatever data is entered
as soon it is entered.

Hi Jay, thank you for the information. I haven't used IE for a long, long
time. I switched to firefox years ago so I don't have any idea what version
of IE is on my computer.

sorry, i should have said in the beginning that i use legacy 7.5, the free

all share and we all use the free 7.5. Will these instructions still work?

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

I looked to see what file I open when I use Legacy.It isn't a .zip file, it
is a .fdb file.


Here is how I always open a file in Legacy:

I open Legacy from my desktop.

I click on 'File', then 'Open Family file'.

Then I just click on the name of the file because it is always shown in the
right side of the 'Open Family File' window. It is a .fdb file.

I just looked to see where it is and it says it is in Windows\Temporary
Internet files\Content IE5\2YWAM2EK


That is very weird because I then tried to find the folder called
'Temporary Internet Files' in the Windows folder on my hard drive but it
isn't there??!!

My files do add the date and time each time I back them up, but the date
and time are added 'at the end' of all the '[1]'s but before the .zip.

Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

Thanks for anyone who is trying to help me. I checked and my files are not
being saved as .zip.fdb, they are just ,zip.



Here is exactly what happens. It has always been this way but I have just
never taken the time to ask anyone about it before.

I open legacy and do whatever work I want to do in my file.

When I am finished I always click on the 'x' in the top right corner to
close the program. It brings up the 'Exit Legacy' box that asks if I am
sure i want to exit Legacy. I click 'yes'.

Then it brings up the 'Backup Legacy Family file Box'. I click the 'Backup'
button. (I don't have any Multimedia so I never click on that button)

Then it brings up the 'Customize Backup' box. I have 'Data Files' checked
so that everything gets backed up.

It has a button that says 'Select Name and Location for Data Backup'. (The
'Currently' location is c:\Legacy\Data\ and it is a .zip file)
(When I first created this file months ago, I just named it 'john'.but
after months of saving this file like this, it has become
'john[1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1[1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1][1]]2014-05-18
7:22.04PM.zip. - etc.)

When I click that button that says 'Select Name and Location for Data
Backup', it takes me to 'Backup Data Files' and the file name (with all the
'[1]'s) shows in the 'File Name' box and is saved as a .zip file into the
C:\Legacy\Data folder.
When I look in that folder on my hard drive, there are TONS of files in
there with the file name plus all those '[1]'s added to the name (but
before the date and time). Each file has added an extra '[1]' when it was
saved.


I'm obviously not doing something right so I guess what I need to know and
am asking is:

1. After I have opened a file in my Legacy program and added information to
it, what is the correct way to save that file? (Do I "save" it or "back it
up"?)[Step by step instructions please]

2. Since the only files in my C:\Legacy\Data folder are .zip files, where
are my .fdb files located?

I looked, and those options are already checked. The date and time appear
after the "[1]"s in each file name.

[LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....????

[elizabeth]

Why does a '[1]' keep getting added to the file name every time I close and
save my file?

EXAMPLE;

john.zip becomes john[1].zip, then john[1][1].zip the next time I close and
save it...and on and on and on.

john.zip
john[1].zip
john[1][1].zip
john[1][1][1].zip
john[1][1][1][1].zip
etc.

Re: [LegacyUG] dates for Events?

[elizabeth]

Would I have to do that each time I add an Event and then switch back to
the other way when done adding it? Or can there be 2 different permanent
settings for dates? I "think" whatever setting I choose is used
everywhere..?

[LegacyUG] dates for Events?

[elizabeth]

I use the free version of Legacy 7.5

Is there a way to have the date for an Event display differently than other
dates for other fields?

All my dates display as Month/Day/Year, just as I want them to. But for
Events I want them to display differently because I don''t always know the
month and day.

I want all the events to show up in 'book' style reports with the Year
first, then month, then day so that they can be easily scanned.

Right now I get this type of display which is difficult to look through

1920
1930
September 8, 1933
1940
August, 1941

I want it to look like this...

1920
1930
1933, September 8
1940
1941, August

Is there any way to enter dates for Events so the year displays first?

[LegacyUG] Sourcing - just don't "get it"!

[elizabeth]

Hi, I would greatly appreciate assistance with sourcing, possibly off-list.
I have been struggling to understand where to enter the different parts of
a source for many years and I still don't get it. And yes, I have looked at
previous posts and help files.

I can't figure out what info goes where in the source.it's just not
making sense to me.

I guess it depends on how I want it to look when printed out, but what if I
want to print various parts of my tree in various different ways??

Any help appreciated,
Elizabeth

I don't want to make it a gedcom, just a file they can click on in their
email and open.

[LegacyUG] email tagged individuals?

[elizabeth]

I have been searching and searching the help files but cannot find this
information.

I want to email someone just 'part' of my family tree. I Tagged all the
individuals that I want to send.

How do I get them altogether and send it?

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

I know that I am regularly told when using auto merge that it doesn't work
if the date is a whole year without month or day.  It is often the case
that as you go further back in time, a year may well be the nearest you can
get to a confirmed date, with information from census returns, Wills, etc.

Is there any plan to make this an option when merging please?  Surely if
the names, parents, spouses, children and other facts are identical, the
lack of a month or day attached to a year is acceptable for auto merge to
cope with?

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

T
​hanks for your help but unfortunately I am still left with more than 2000
not merged.  One problem is that the incoming file has different RIN
numbers and there are little discrepancies, such as cir. in one case and
abt. in the other.

I think I might just give up!

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

Yes, I see.  A new empty file into which the gedcom from Ancestry goes.
Tidy up and delete rubbish.

Then, should I add a copy of my Legacy family file or a gedcom from it and
then save the resultant merge as a new family file?  The biggest problem I
see with this scenario is that I shall have lost all pictures and linked
files, won't I?

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Thanks, David.  That's what I decided too!!  I did start with a new Legacy
file - a copy of my master file - renamed it and then tried to add the
gedcom.  This doubled the number of people in the file to some 11,000 odd
so for some reason Legacy doesn't think identical people are the same at
all.  The Ancestry file was originally a gedcom uploaded from my master
Legacy file (using the 7.5 version).

I find that Ancestry is so very good at finding sources and obscure
baptisms etc. that it is easy to update my online file but it is tedious to
duplicate the work on my home file.   I was trying to merge the two but
this doesn't seem to be an easy answer either.

Re: [LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Thanks, I'll do that.  Can you please explain why when using IntelliShare,
sometimes Legacy seems to think two quite obviously different people should
be merged?  I have two different people with nothing whatsoever matching
that Intellishare is trying to merge.  As I move through a list of people,
it seems to want to merge two people who are different sexes even and asks
if I still want to view them.  Of course I don't - how can I stop this
happening please?  I've tried repairing the file but it makes no difference.

[LegacyUG] Importing Gedcom

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

I am trying to merge my Legacy file with my Ancestry online file.  I have
downloaded the gedcom from Ancestry, started a new family file and am
trying to import the gedcom.  Can anyone explain how I can find out what
'unrecognised items' actually are?  One appears to be _MILTID  and I simply
don't know what to do with it, or what it refers to.

Any help much appreciated.

[LegacyUG] v7.5 - how can I send info to someone by email?

[elizabeth]

Can anyone tell me how to make a copy of some of my family tree and send it
to another person by email? I only want to send a certain portion, not my
whole tree.

I use the free verson of 7.5 (They do not have Legacy so I need to send it
by email in such a way that they can view it somehow without legacy)

Thank you,
Elizabeth

Re: [LegacyUG] GMail Warnings on Mike Fry's messages

I use gmail and regularly get some messages put into spam with a warning

Re: [LegacyUG] no pop up information when mousing over children in upgrade to version 8

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

In answer to C.G.O. and Mary, yes, it scrolls perfectly well with browsers,
Word, Excel etc. and I was testing it out on a family with 12 children.

Re: [LegacyUG] no pop up information when mousing over children in upgrade to version 8

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

I don't find it scrolls the list of children at all - I have the same
problem as Rita.  The only way to scroll is using the bar on the right-hand
end, not my mouse scroller.  I found the hover feature useful.

Thanks, Wendy.  It looks as though Carbonite is in the US whereas I am
based in England.  A bit of research and I've found Copy which I might look
at.
Bedtime now!

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Well, I only use Dropbox to share photos with friends and family and
haven't come across Carbonite but I think I'll have a look at it.  I have a
spare hard-drive but am not very good about backing up to it as I can never
find what I want as it has a funny file structure.  I just hope if my
computer dies I can work it out!  Reminder - back up TODAY.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Yes, those are exactly the same as mine so I think it's OK then, although
I'm surprised that the dates are so old in some cases.  Obviously settings
I made in 7.5 have automatically updated to version 8.  I wonder what they
were!
Thanks for your help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox

[Elizabeth Hatchell]

Thanks, John, will do.  Just re-opened Legacy having moved all to Dropbox
and it's fine.  I have a large number of Census pages, baptism records,
birth, marriage and death certificates etc. Would you suggest moving all
the 'media' also to Dropbox?
