Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes
I transcribe (abstract) my sources under the source citation, plus I always attach a copy of the source to the citation. Then in my event I will refer back to the source "her death certificate states" or "her obituary showed" so if there are 3 citations attached to that event I can look at those 3 citations and know which source belongs to which piece of information/citation. It is the best I can do with how Legacy allows us to attach sources. Remember that most Events will only have one source so in those situations I would simply enter the information as a fact without referring to the actual source. I only do so when there is alternate or conflicting information.

Re: [LegacyUG] Events, Event Notes, Regular Notes
Linda, I am doing something similar to what you are thinking of doing. I will have only one birth event (same for death, mrg, baptism, etc) and I input all the information I have (whether correct or alternate) under that one event. Usually the facts that I consider correct will be at the top of the event with lesser facts following. It may read as follows (I don't use the pre-defined sentences): . Death | 1952 Dec 25| Age 78 | According to Susan's death registration she died on Christmas Day at her home address of 123 Lane in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. There was conflicting information found on on her obituary which stated her date of death as December 26 (etc...) I will source the one event with as many sources as I have. If you do a google search for "evidence based genealogy ginger" it should bring you to a blog by Ginger who lays it out much better than I can. She is using another genealogy program, but the principles are the same. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
[LegacyUG] Report Formats
I so agree with you Dick. I hate the way the notes are placed in reports so much so that a few years ago I stopped using them. There is no continuity, no flow, with them being stuck at the end of the report. I strictly use Events/Event Notes now so that my reports are in a true chronological order without information being scattered about.

[LegacyUG] Legacy 8 and Windows 10
Hi Pat, since upgrading I find I get stuck in the Name List on occasion and I do have to shut down using Task Manager. Other than that, W10 is a big improvement for me. Legacy was freezing or crashing several times a day prior to updating to W10 (and not just in the Name List). I was seriously thinking of getting a new laptop prior to the upgrade, but not anymore.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeating Source Pictures/Documents on Reports
Thank you Ward and Cheryl for your replies. I will contact Support about my emails. The situation was a Master Source repeating on the reports right after the exact Master Source before it -- with the same picture of the birth certificate repeated. I could handle the repeating Source if the picture didn't repeat.It just seems a whole big mess of citations compared to the older version. Thanks again.

You need to send an e-mail to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com and ask them to fix your partially-working subscription. We had a big discussion here in 2009, where some people were bemoaning the fact that ibid had stopped working in the then latest release. Some points: - ibid is only useful for a citation where the master source is identical to the one in the immediately preceding citation. The way that reports are constructed, we have little control over the order of citations in footnotes. - Legacy uses the concept of 'subsequent citations', where an abbreviated form of the master citation is used if that master was cited anywhere above in the list of citations. - If both the master and detail information in a citation are identical to a previous citation, then Legacy should simply use the same footnote number in the report, rather than create a new footnote. It was not clear whether this was always working. - Subsequent citations get very complicated when dealing with SourceWriter sources. Bugs were logged. I haven't checked whether any work has been done on those issues. Many e-mails in the LUG archive.

I see a question I posted shows on the usergroup and I was hoping someone could help me with it. Here it is again: I just recently upgraded to Legacy 8 and I use the Basic System for sources. I have a 2 part issue: firstly, does ibid not work? Under Customize Legacy - Sources, Section 7.8 it says Use ibid for repeating Master Sources (this only applies to Basic-Style sources). I have this ticked, but so far So far as I can tell, no it isn't working. Never has for me. this has failed to work on all types of reports. The 2nd part is that I like to attach a jpg picture of documents to the Master Source. The picture always appears twice on reports - once with the first Full Citation and then again with the subsequent citation (hence my question about ibid). Is there anyway to only have the picture appear with the first citation. Again, not so far as I can tell. Another argument against putting pictures with/in/on sources, I guess. Twice is overkill. I have gone through and tried numerous things with report options, but nothing works. My reports printed fine with the older version of Legacy that I was previously using. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
