Re: [LegacyUG] Place of Death
Using the actual place of death is correct, ie., city in which the nursing home is located. Attach pdf documentation when possible. This is the one area that family members want to challenge because they forgot that grand paw died in the hospital in the neighboring city. The ancestor's residence has already been documented by a census or city directory. In the event of the absence of permanent residence documentation, simply create an event titled residence which will allow you to attach documentation such as pics of the house.

Where I know it, I always use the full address in the Location field of an Event. In the case of someone dying somewhere other than their usual residence I enter the death address in the Death Place field and add a Residence event which reads "On , at the time of his/her death, his her/address was ..." -- Jenny M Benson - http://jennygenes.blogspot.co.uk/ Wrexham, UK -- 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/ -- 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/
Re: [LegacyUG] Number of People you can have in your file?
In a previous family file, I had over 120,000 names. I had no problem on the legacy side. For 300,000 names, you will need a computer with a very fast processor. My computer processor had 8 gb of ram and could not handle this huge file. Be prepared to do a lot of waiting with some lock up on a slower computer. Would recommend a Legacy dedicated gaming computer with the fastest processor possible.

Re: [LegacyUG] I AM IN A BIG MESS - again - no still
Legacy allows you to print to an excell file. In preparing to print each file, do not select first and last name together rather select surname, then first name, birth date and death date. Now you are ready to print the entire data base to an excel file. After it has printed, open the excel file and input the name of the database in the first blank column. Repeat these steps for the second database. In the first empty column input the name of the second database. Copy the entire page for the second database and paste the results at the end of the first excel spreadsheet. Do this for each remaining database. Finally sort the file by the using the surname and then last name. Now you will be able to go down the alphabetical list which will tell you the database for each person. For excel help, see youtube.

[LegacyUG] Picture caption same as file name
Hi all, There used to be the option to click a setting and automatically make all picture captions the same as the file name. Does this setting still applicable and where is it located?

Re: [LegacyUG] Data entry
Hi Dave, Adding fathers each with their own children is not a problem in Legacy. If it is the mother who has multiple marriages (same procedure if it I'd the father) go to the mother and add a spouse, then add the children they have in common. Go back to the mother, add the second spouse, then add their children. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Media Files
I have been working with Legacy since version 3.0. I have had computers not wanting to start, files being corrupted or accidentally deleting a picture. If you value your pics, and the hours you spent, backing up to the cloud or a removable hard drive is a must. You realize that backing up to the computer you are working on when the dog knocked the laptop onto the floor and now it won't come on. In my opinion the cloud is the best because I have a drawer of nice external hard drives that say there is a problem and the drive needs to be reformatted. I have 32,000 pictures and I back up to both an SD card and to Dropbox and the Legacy Cloud. Hope this helps. >From Morris M.
