Re: [LegacyUG] Chronology Timeline question
Would it be helpful if the individual's chronology events were in bold and other people in the list were not? Or maybe they could be in italics to differentiate them more clearly. I can hear the questions re why does his event have a minus 3, etc. Larry Lee ldlee...@gmail.com On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 8:00 AM, Sherry/Support wrote: > Because the list is in chronological order.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestor book report - spouse events
Hi Paul, You said 'use in anger' is a common enough phrase. FYI - I am a 66 year old American if that makes a difference and I had never heard this phrase used in this manner so I Googled it here http://www.englishforums.com/English/SourceExpressionAnger/jkkzb/post.htm Now I understand what you were saying. I too read this as you were using Legacy with disdain. Remember these User Group lists are international and not everyone understands all the phraseology in every post.. Rarely do the majority of people on this list criticize others. I have received more support from this list than any other I have used. Give it a chance and I think you will agree.

Re: [LegacyUG] Getting my Legacy 8 refund
Betty, There is a huge volume of mail right now due to the recent release of version 8. As others have said you can temporarily unsubscribe for some period of time or depending on your email program you might be able to set a filter for the legacy user group address to send all email directly to Trash. Then reset or remove that filter when you want to continue getting email from the list. Personally, I just tick the checkbox next to topics that I don't have any interest in then hit the Trash button and they are gone. This way I can still read the ones that are of interest to me interspersed with the others.

Ron, You said >> Most of the complaints could be solved easily and quickly if folks would spend a little time using the help files. True enough. In this day and age of instant information it seems a lot of people have lost interest in reading help files and would rather have someone hand them the answer.

Re: [LegacyUG] event sorting
Gene, I would agree with Paul since it is assumed that we do not know the birth order of children with blank dates, therefore alphabetic is preferred. IF you know the birth order of one or more of the children with blank birth dates you have a couple options: 1/ Order them manually and DO NOT use the auto-sort feature or 2/ use about, circa or between birth dates to keep them in the correct birth order, then you can still use the auto-sort feature. I prefer option 2 since it tells me that I know the birth order but I still need to find the exact date.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update - 800-361
C. G., This is one of the frustrating peccadilloes of the rapid update process. About the best one can do is to look at the list of subjects discussed between the last update you installed and the current one and pay close attention to the ones you have raised or are particularly interested in. Due to the volume on the list since v8 was released it is difficult to stay abreast of all the changes. To use a phrase I abhor - It is what it is. Larry Lee On Dec 12, 2013 5:46 AM, "C.G.

Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter
Jenny, This is the main reason I don't use SourceWriter often although I do like the fill in the blanks templates. Most of my sources are from Online databases. The main problem I have like the OP is knowing which one to use that provides the needed information. I know you do not have to use all the fields in a given template but like your example some are almost ideal for a given source. My issue is the time and effort it takes to find a template I like from the plethora of choices. Therefore I usually give up and use a Basic source with the need to type a lot more and then likely not provide the complete information. My wish would be for a simpler way to find Online templates particularly. As it is there are 100's of suggestions to choose from.

Re: [LegacyUG] FS 'Arrows'
Paul, Yes I think there is a problem here, hopefully Brian can verify this. >>I can see the arrows on the husband, wife, and parents (as your graphic illustrated) if I start family view with one of the other's children's views set, and I then change the view to scrolling list. I can navigate up and down the generations and the arrows continue to display. This is what I had done previously. >> Similarly, if I exit Legacy with the children's list set to scrolling list (making it my default view) when I restart Legacy in family view the arrows don't appear. This just happened to me as well, with option 1.8 checked, when I first opened the sample file to follow what you said. So there is a BUG.

Re: [LegacyUG] Icons are to light.
Hi Brian, I just tried this and concur. The icons in the FV are pale, however, the ones with data are colored and those without are b&w by design. The ones in the Individuals view (IV) are brighter for sure. I changed my background color to be the same in both views to be sure. I suspect this might be due to the icons being small on the IV and being larger (stretched) on the FV. But am not sure about that. Hopefully someone else might provide a better answer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 Installation - GLBF797.tmp
John, I don't want to litter the LUG with this. I have been plagued by organization structure in Windows 7 (and in paper filing) and find the addition of Libraries to be more confusing to me than helpful. I still like the old DOS structure. Your Strategy: Since I don't have a separate D partition could I replicate your D structure by creating a "Legacy Data" file under My Documents? That is I would use "Legacy Data" in lieu of D:, and not have your top level "Legacy Family Files". I could then set Option 6.1 to the "Legacy Data" folder. If so could you send me a listing of your D: file tree that I could pattern after? I might also create another folder "All Other Data" where I could save all data files making backup much simpler. Backups: I have an external drive I use to backup my laptop and our main PC files. I just used the windows backup command however when I needed to restore some but not all of the backup files after we had to have Windows 7 reinstalled by a MS tech person in India over the phone (2+ hours!) I now find it cumbersome to find the desired backup files to copy back into our clean(er) C: drive. Can you recommend a good third party backup program that is easier to use and less confusing? Cloud stuff: I have concerns about putting ALL my personal data in the cloud. Should I be concerned? Probably not since the IRS and NSA can see everything anyway and there is NO security for electronic medical info with Obamacare. Not to mention video cams everywhere nowadays. I'm afraid George Orwell's precognition in 1984 has come to pass. He just had the date wrong. Other than cost what is the difference between Carbonite, Dropbox and SkyDrive? I am using MS Office 365 which includes SkyDrive. Larry Lee ldlee...@gmail.com On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 11:14 AM, John B. Lisle wrote: > Glenn, > > Let me share my strategy for Legacy folders.

Re: [LegacyUG] Clicking - Single & Double
David, Minor correction. A single click on a highlighted person in the Husband/Wife section of FV causes the Individual Information form to open, anywhere else it moves that person to the Husband/Wife section with focus (highlighted).

Re: [LegacyUG] Clicking - Single & Double
C.G., et al, As promised here is my post regarding this issue. In most Windows programs single-clicking selects (or highlights) an object, while a double-click executes the function associated with that object. On a laptop touchpad the double-click is called "double-tap", in most cases invoking the same actions as the double-click with a mouse. I use Legacy exclusively on my Laptop and even with the sensitivity reduced unfortunately, it is very easy to accidentally single-tap which moves the person to the center or if highlighted it opens the Individual Information form. And other spurious things as C. G. mentioned. Very disturbing at least to me and likely other touchpad users. .As C.G. has pointed out this is truly irritating and causes unnecessary navigating. It should follow the Windows standard functionality. Please return this standard usage to single and double clicks in FV and anywhere else it is non-standard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Clicking - Single & Double
David, You are correct. There is no need to click a highlighted person a second time. My problem with the touchpad is it very easy to accidentally open the Ind. View. A double click/tap would prevent this from accidentally happening unless I am falling asleep at night then all bets are off as to what might happen.

Re: [LegacyUG] Clicking - Single & Double
Kristy, Thank you for your response. The problem isn't so much where I deliberately click. It is that while dragging my index finger across the touchpad (moving the cursor) I can all to easily get a spurious tap (click). If the single click did not open the Individual Information form it would not be so maddening. It is much less likely to accidentally double tap. I just wish it would work the standard way it does in most Windows programs. Larry Lee ldlee...@gmail.com On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 5:56 PM, Kirsty M.

Jenny, I use a free program called CutePDFWriter which installs as a printer driver so you can choose that as your printer on the report form then select print and it will create a PDF file which you save then print using your real printer. http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp Just be aware it will offer to install the Ask toolbar so deselect that checkbox before beginning the install. I think there are others but this is the one I have always used and it seems to work well.

RE: [LegacyUG] When to use est and when to use abt
I agree with Kurt for calculated. I usually only use that when I have used the date calculator. I stick close to the dictionary definitions below. About - near in time, approximately. Example: In a 1900 census a child is listed as 7 so I use about 1893 for birth year. Estimate - to form an approximate judgment or opinion. Example: A child is said to be 18 months old when his sister was born and I know her birth date is March 20, 1882 so I estimate his birth date to be September 1880. Calculated - determined or ascertained by mathematical methods. Example: A Birth Date determined from a Date of Death and an Age at Death given in years, months and days using the date calculator.

Re: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs
Graham, et al, I agree this usage is very much up to the user. However, I have found much of my information from Ancestry.com based upon searches using misspelled names, therefore, I keep them all.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Clipboards 1 to 5
Wendy, I completely agree with William.post just gave me an inspiration! I d not see why anyone would need 5 sources to be applied at one time either. As this could lead to major problems for the 'average' user I think this should be an opt-in option. With a popup warning "Are you sure Y/N? That wasn't the inspiration. It is: rather than saving 10 sources to the clipboard how about selecting the ones desired from the Sources Master List? Assuming that one would not be entering from 5 new sources at the same time. For the life of me I cannot fathom why one would EVER need to do this!

Sorry. The previous email was sent while being drafted as a separate email and was not yet meant for posting, although it somewhat applies. Please disregard. For some reason an unidentified key combination causes this to happen. I even got a new wireless keyboard since I thought this was a function of my laptop keyboard but it still happens.

CE, I am glad to know there is someone who uses this option and I understand it theoretically but am having trouble understanding how this works in reality.

Ron, You are correct that Legacy is responsive to the user base. Thank you Millennia. This topic is much like Lumpers vs Splitters or Apple vs PC discussions about the 'best' way to do things.

Re: [LegacyUG] Shared Events - witnesses, clergy, doctors, etc.
Michele is correct. This was designed this way. In as much as this a Family File I don't need all these ancillary people in the database since they are not related, however... I do think it might be useful to have these names available for research purposes since they are related at least by location. I would like to see an option to store these names in an Ancillary table where they would not be included in the actual family file processes but could be accessed when desired for certain searches and reports like Location and Shared Events.

What would happen if you put the second name in ( ) s? I don't see them in

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure
Sherry, et al, Most software I use will pop up an informative dialog when there is an update with a button to click if you want to do the update. Why can't Legacy do likewise? Of course having the blurb showing the most recent version and the currently installed version with the update link on the home page should be maintained.

Re: [LegacyUG] Blogging webinar now available in the archives
Hi Geoff, Another really interesting webinar. I've enjoyed them all. You are doing a fantastic job with them!! Near the end I sent an off topic request relating to Clooz or a similar program. I had downloaded Clooz to test drive but it doesn't work well with Windows 7. Thus the question "is there a similar product that does work with Win7 and Legacy?"

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy's Association with World Vital Records
I too used a trial. After searching for easy records that I had already found on Ancestry and SSDI and not finding one hit on their site I called and cancelled in less than 24 hours. Their search was useless to me and I will not do business with them! I believe Millenia is using them for data mining to get new leads/subscribers for Legacy. While this arrangement may be legal it is certainly despicable. I would not have thought Millenia would get involved with a company that seems so unworthy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Pictures
Marilyn, I have been using Microsoft Office Picture Manager in Windows 7. It seems to work fine for this.

[LegacyUG] Using Research Guidance
Hello everyone, this is my first post to the LUG. Been lurking for a while. When I select Suggested Sources (tab 3) the Individual is displayed in the upper left corner with BD info. When I highlight Family History Library in the list at bottom left for example, then click the Website tab I am taken to that website to do a search. By the time I get there I may have forgotten the detail dates to search for. Is there a way to do a split screen or some other method where I could see the Legacy window alongside the browser window at the same time? I know I can jot a note, but hey, this is a computer. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Research Guidance
Ron, I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. I used IE to try this technique as well. I finally experimented a little more and can get to where there are 3 windows open horizontally. The first Welcome to Research Guidance! screen stays open by default so I have the 2 Research windows and the website window open simultaneously. This makes the text very tiny. Is this what is supposed to happen? Are there any other options/suggestions? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] information from other online trees
Jenny, Just one small point. You might want to show the RIN number as (RIN #2073) as many people don't know what that is. If it were a RIN number less than 2010 someone may think it is a date for some purpose, e.g., 1812.

Re: [LegacyUG] Genviewer website
I have been using the trial version and had some error messages and sent a message to serv...@mudcreeksoftware.com on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 11:02 PM. Haven't gotten a reply yet, probably due to the time it was sent but the address didn't bounce. Does the paid version work on Windows 7? I agree it would be useful if it worked without errors.

Hi Lea-Anne, Welcome to the list I'm fairly new as well. I record the name that I am first aware of for the individual.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Production
A non-genealogical friend sent me a DVD of his life story. It is basically a slide show of scanned photos and documents with background music. I like the idea and now would like to do something similar, using Legacy. I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this - Are there any recommendations for Legacy/Animap compatible software to do this production? Any thoughts or comments appreciated.

[LegacyUG] Adulterine offspring
Does anyone know how to handle this situation in Legacy? I have a man who had twins, a boy and girl, by a woman who was never his wife. He was married at the time. I know how to add half brothers and sisters but Legacy requires a wife, married or not. I don't want the relationship to show as a Marriage. How do I input this data to show them as his children with her? They will be marked as private since they are all living. He is open about the relationship within his family and personal friends so that is not a problem. Larry Lee I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

[LegacyUG] Family Search Help
Can anyone tell me if Family Search in now off limits to non-LDS.I used to use it once upon a time. have tried the new site & the old site. My email address, old username and password are still valid but I can't seem to be able to use the search function. I know things have changed & are changing but is it still possible to use it at all for non-LDS?

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Search Help
Laird & Kathy, I first tried from within Legacy Research Guidance. That was the new site I think because it said it was only available to LDS. I then googled old Family Search and went to that website. It has been awhile so I had to get my username then with that my old password worked and my email address was still on file. I never did get to the search box and it was late, I was tired, and gave it up. Based on your replies I will try to follow and see if I have better luck tonight. Thanks for your advice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Search Help
Still no can do. From within Legacy I do get the Legacy screen but the button to connect is grayed out. This is part of what I got from trying to register: You are just about finished. An e-mail to activate your account was sent to this address: ldlee...@gmail.com Congratulations! Your account is now activated. You can now use your new user name and password. This user name and password can be used for some current and all future FamilySearch applications. At this point hitting the Continue button does nothing. This is what I got from the New site: Your account is not ready for new.familysearch.org. Still not usable. Is there a Customer Service # where I can talk to a live person? So far it is terrible!

I did that Jackie. Got this message "Your account is not ready for

Really strange, nothing seems to work. I will call them tomorrow if I
can find a phone number. Haven't looked for one yet.

Re: [LegacyUG] Can't use main window with open dialog box
Hi Ward, I don't know the answer either. But this is my biggest pet peeve with Legacy, it's so un-user-friendly and wastes time and cause input errors. I just accepted it because I didn't know any better. Have you offered that as a suggestion? I think it would be a fantastic improvement.

Ron, In this case it copied nothing. I tried several times pasting into notepad, and Word. Both were blank.
