Re: [LegacyUG] CREATING LINKS TO WEB SITES AS A SOURCE
I can't help you with the technical part a making a web link, but do have a comment about using a web site as a Master Source. Web sites come and go and your Master Source may disappear at any time and become just a bad link. I always notate the website link where I found my information, but somewhere in the source. I have lots of sources that contain links in the notes or comments that do not work anymore, but I still have the original data in my database.

The sources are way too basic and there are no details given, even though they were there on the record. Only the ones I copied and pasted into Legacy have the detail citation. I also have Family Tree Maker 12 on my computer just to keep my family file synced. The details are in that program but do not get added to the gedcom and are not imported into Legacy. This time I cleaned up the locations in FTM with a feature they have for that purpose. It helped, but was far from perfect. Still a lot of work to do. I've read that ancestry.com is a for profit company and can't be depended on for accurate sources. That seems to be true. I'll have to cut and paste the information from now on. I'm updating the group on this in case anyone else thinks it will be easy to just merge the information you find on ancestry.com

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Death Certificates from Ancestry.com
I don't agree Connie. Nothing is stored on the Internet, but on servers that you can access thru the internet. The Internet is just a method to allow you to get to the servers such as on Ancestry.com. And even at that, Ancestry.com probably does not have the originals, but only copies. So where is the real repository? Being a splitter, each of my certificates (death, birth, marriage, etc) is a source. If I get a copy from Ancestry.com, I list the repository as Ancestry.com. If I have an original, then I list the repository as being in my files. Just my method. On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Connie Sheets clshee...@yahoo.com wrote: David, I disagree with you completely. The internet is a repository, like a library. Ancestry.com is like a book (or more accurately, like a series of multi-volume books) within that library. I certainly would cite the name and page number of a book I found within a library. While I agree there would be 17 specific source citations, there only needs to be one Master Source (the Ancestry North Carolina database). Although lumping vs. splitting is a personal choice, I suppose it would be possible to have just one Master Source for Ancestry. I suspect most people would want to avoid having a separate Master Source for each death certificate. I will respond separately with examples of how I would cite the NC death certificates example.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Passage Express
I have the full version, and it is not a tree or chart viewer. It will allow importing of your Legacy data including pictures, but you have to have or install Legacy to view as family, pedigree, charts, etc. It looks to me as it probably started out as a slide show creator and file viewer. The import links were added to make it easier to get family data from a number of genealogy programs, and to view the data through those programs if installed on the recipient's computer. Just my opinion. It is good at what it was created for. Larry On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 12:04 PM, William Boswell whbosw...@gmail.com wrote: I'm wondering about the paid for version too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Passage Express
Brian, Kathy is right in that you can put a button on your presentation that will take the viewer to Legacy Family Tree where they can download the free version to view your data. Passage Express does not build family group, pedigree charts, etc. If the viewer has Legacy Family Tree installed or they download and install it, then when they click on the button for Legacy File in your presentation, it will open Legacy Family Tree and they can have access to all the formats you mentioned. PE does not build these formats. Larry On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 11:46 PM, Larry McCumber lemccum...@gmail.com wrote: Sharing Genealogy Electronically did not have instructions for Passage Express.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing Burial Addresses
I guess I'm more confused than I thought I was. On Family view, one of the lines I display is Buried where I put the date and the controversial four USA locations (City, County, State, Country). Then I click the +, select Burial Address, and enter all of the information I have on the cemetery. Is this the Burial Event?

The classroom only has room for our 20 students. Although we cannot increase the size of the classroom, I'm hoping to test our new webinar technology that can expand the attendance into the thousands. I don't know if it will work. I think it will In other words, I will be teaching my advanced Legacy class to a live audience at the library, but intend to also broadcast at the same time to you. You don't have to live in Youngtown to come to class. So, if you'd like to participate in this first-ever trial run, please register for the Sharing Genealogy Electronically webinar at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/webinars.asp.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about purchasing from legacy store
Thanks for the replies and the help. I will go back to Gold Bug with my questions. When I asked Gold Bug the same questions, I got this reply from Tim Rosenlof and must have miss-interpreted what he meant. I could answer those questions, but they should probably come from them personally. I happen to know him and he has helped me along with some things I needed help with.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about purchasing from legacy store
Tim, I apologize for replying to the list. I had contacted Gold Bug and thought you were responding from Gold Bug. I am not trying to start a fire-storm (God knows that's easy enough to do on this list), and sorry that I mis-interpreted the email source.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about purchasing from legacy store
Who provides support for and can answer questions about Animap? There were problems in release 2 with pop-up boxes such as the Pluck box and the Sitefind display where you could not resize the box and could not read all of the data. I would like to know that these were fixed in release 3 before purchasing.

Thanks, but Goldbug is also just a reseller. I have contacted them also.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Report with Editable Text and Pictures
Mary, If you are still sending the PDF, I would like to see a copy also. lemccum...@comcast.net Thanks, Larry If you'd like to see a report that I can produce using an event titled notes, as well as some of the original named events, rather than using the hard coded Notes, I'll create a short one in a pdf file, attach to an email and send to you so you can see how I've used an event titled 'notes' to write up some of my family history. This report can now be created in a second or two and I can shift and edit to my hearts content, should I come across more information or photo's I'd like to add to this family's history.
