Re: [LegacyUG] still have a duplicate
Jenny M Benson I had a problem with the Legacy program, last summer. I called legacy support, I was on the phone for close to 2 hours with support. The person could NOT, do you understand what NOT means, the support person could NOT help me. I never said a word on this thread about this, he knows who he is. When I got off the phone with this support person, I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, problem was solved!!! So my comment about Support jumping in, I was being sarcastic!!! Someone else posted a comparison to another family tree program the same days these emails were going on, and support JUMPED onto that thread to say how Legacy is better. I was also SHOCKED to see your comment, what part of I AM DISABLED do you NOT GET Yes, I know people are helping me, especially Ron Ferguson, but if you look at the date of your "response" unlike YOU, most of the world was in shock of Newtown, which is right near me and where I grew up. SO I was doing 26 acts of RANDOM kindness!! Also, if I choose to ask many questions, that is MY Choice, and those who help me, it is THEIR choice to help me, I do not need to focus on one problem at a time, ignore the emails. Clearly, you have not fully read my emails, you are evil, so evil. In the future, I suggest you keep your nastiness to yourself.

[LegacyUG] can't open older legacy files
I can't open older legacy files from 2010 or 2011. I tried import, I can't even open old legacy charts I made back than either. Why? I was forced to update to 7.5, I turned off the updates, so I don't know if Legacy has updated since December.

Re: [LegacyUG] still have a duplicate
Ok, I have a g.grandfather who was adopted and raised by another family, he has a different surname than the family that adopted him. He married the 1st cousin of this family. I found his biological parents names and linked him to the biological parents. When I saw that I had duplicates, I deleted the bio parents and linked him back to the adopted parents. I still have duplicates, So that is why I think that my g.grandfather is the cause of having duplicates.

i was able to fix a few duplicates. However the family still comes up on a chart 3 x's.

[LegacyUG] fixing duplicates
I did a report to Find Duplicates, it seems I have a lot of them. I am not sure about other naming traditions, but Italians repeat names constantly. So I see the duplicates by the RIN Numbers. Although when I look at my index of my surnames I do not see duplicates. So is looking at the RIN numbers on the duplicate report the correct way to fix my tree?

Re: [LegacyUG] Sharing Family Tree with relatives that don't have legacy
When I create a descendants report to email, the family the entire family repeats, 3x's, the same descendants, in 3 different colors. This happens when I create it from my 3 times great grandparents. Does that make sense?

Ron, I know you may not believe this, but I was a computer programmer over 10 years ago, I knew a lot about computers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy problems
New Problem. When I close Legacy on my desktop it closes to Backup to another folder I had created and than I set it to backup to the Data Folder and it goes to the folder I created, not the data folder.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy problems
Maybe I should say I want to "save" my family tree to my "thumb drive" after I add to it? I do use multiple computers at two different homes. I really can't recall ever having this problem in the past. My laptop crashed so I am glad I was backing it up or saving it to the thumb drive. I do name my family tree as the date i worked on it. At this point I have so many backups, saves and who knows what on my computers and I am probably using all the wrong words I am going to need to do a major clean up of the older files. I still don't understand why sometimes when i open my Legacy, my family tree does not appear. You are all so patient and I thank you for all your help.

I was doing a bunch of searches, than I did the search modified by date and thank God it has the time on it, so I found it and this did have the additions made last night. Thank you so much Before I do anything, I want to make sure I do this correctly. Options-General- I chose Open Last file used automatically.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy problems
I found it on a new thumb drive I got last night. the strange thing is, the new death date I entered did not save last night. So on my new laptop, I have been testing Legacy. I saved it in the Data folder and did the other tips on saving you all gave me. Since now I know where the file is. One time it opened with my tree, a few times it did not and I also got a few errors messages. At least now I will have the one thumb drive to back up my family file to, so I will be able to locate it. As for the errors, I will have to email legacy and ask what they are.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy problems
so now i am on my new laptop with Windows 8, I downloaded Legacy and put the family tree on this computer also. There is only the sample file in data. I put in my thumb drive and I got an alert that there is issues with the thumb drive, it is scanning it now. What a bummer this is for me. But still on my other computer when I open llegacy my family file should just open up, like it did last night, This is very frustrating.

I went to Data, there is about 10 files there and the last date was Sept 9. 2012. I keep having the same problems, ever since Legacy updated to the newest version.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
Thanks everyone. As you may have guessed I have some disabilities and I do need something very light weight. Although i have had legacy for a few years, I don't know how to use the program so well. Than my laptop crashed 2 nights ago. Thankfully, I backed up my family tree on a thumb drive. I get so confused with all these computers. I wonder if the ULTRABOOK that I plan to buy tomorrow with Windows 8 will have enough memory/gig etc to run Legacy, my Itunes, hold all my pictures, documents. So if anyone wants to suggest a good ULTRABOOK for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I would wait to get the new IPAD, but I will be on bed rest after a surgery on November 5th and does everyone really want me to ask a million questions on how to run FAMILIES :) MJ On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Bill Wilson wrote: > I use the Families app on my IPad and iPhone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
Thanks Don, but that is not my question. My question, if I was going to buy the IPAD is how to transfer the data, because at Best Buy they said data could not be transferred, only pictures.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ipad App for legacy
My laptop crashed last night. I went to Best Buy to buy an ultra book, than they talked me into getting the IPAD. I asked them if data can be transferred from the PC to the IPAD they said NO, only pictures can be transferred. So than I went back to looking at laptops and they showed me the new Windows 8 that can't be sold til Friday. The keyboard folds back and it is like using the Ipad. So I will go back on Friday and get it. But another email just talked about different operating systems with Windows 8, so now I don't know what kind of Windows 8I looked at.

I can't believe the horror stories I have read in this thread. How cruel to throw out so much work. That man whose children threw out 40 years of work, I had tears in my eyes, how disrespectful!

Re: [LegacyUG] how I site my sources
It was an older version of Legacy. Actually, I put the notes in my Events/Facts! So if someone were to look for Tommaso Giunta birth year 1873 (95) that means the birth record of 1873, is number 95. Does that make sense? I have a feeling I am going to be redoing my sources also. I live in NY, I am 2nd generation Sicilian and 3rd generation Italian. I also have the smallest Italian/Sicilian family in the world :) So it is easy to write in the note, got this marriage record at this Church name in Brooklyn, or got this note from the FHC microfilm number 154678 etc. On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 1:16 PM, Ron Ferguson wrote: > Difficult to say from the information given below without more information. > >>> I've made notes as to where I got my records.

Re: [LegacyUG] how I site my sources
My question was, if doing it this way is the reason my tree got messed up when it upgraded to Legacy 7.5. This format has worked for my family and they all say it has made the research much easier. So again, I will ask, if this is the reason my tree had errors when it upgraded to Legacy. I had a marriage date for once couple, copied to two other people. One family that had 4 children, now have 8 children etc. If anyone can answer the question, that would be great!

[LegacyUG] how I site my sources
I've made notes as to where I got my records. So this is how I write the note, example Tommaso Giunta 14 Nov 1833 (95) Piazza 95 is the index number or if noted the page number I found the record. I think this maybe why I had problems upgrading to the new Legacy. But this system works for me, when I need to go back and look at a record. Is this a mistake on my part? Should I do it differently?

Re: [LegacyUG] Immigration/Emigration Event, what's the difference?
It doesn't look like my response was sent properly. I have the same thing in one of my families, they went back and forth to Italy multiple times. I just made a note that this is the year when they officially settled in Brooklyn. On my Grandma and Uncle, I was told they went back to Sicily for 5 years, so on the notes I said this is what I was told and this is what the passport says.

Re: [LegacyUG] cleaning and finding my family tree
I have Windows 7 and I can see what is on the thumb drive. I decided to rename a family file and work on that one, rechecking everything etc. Good thing that I have the smallest Italian/Sicilian family tree anyone has ever seen. But, I still have this problem Error converting family file. Error 3800: 'Temple' is not an index in this table. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? I am not a Mormon or member, what is this about?

Re: [LegacyUG] cleaning and finding my family tree
Yes, I did search for fdb, but when I would back up my tree, I would back it up onto a thumb drive and Windows 7 doesn't give me an option to search the thumb drives. Thank you for your help, it seems I need to redo my tree. On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 4:39 PM, Ron Ferguson wrote: > Firstly, have you searched for the .fdb files as I suggested?

Re: [LegacyUG] cleaning and finding my family tree
I am not a Mormon, I don't know why it does this with every tree I try to open. Is there a way I can merge two family trees? So I don't have to retype all the names I need to add to my main family tree, which I still can't find.

[LegacyUG] cleaning and finding my family tree
Hi everyone, I know I have 3 family trees and when I close one and it says to back up file, I do, I don't know where it goes on the computer, but I would back it up on a thumb drive. I never had a problem until recently. Now when I open legacy, I am getting this error message: Error converting family file. Error 3800: 'Temple' is not an index in this table. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? So I did a legacy search to see what I have, this is a list of file names. TC File Shortcut RGD File Legacy Genealogy Software LWC File GED File FG File Compressed (zipped) Folder I am so confused, any help would be greatly appreciated.
