Re: [LegacyUG] Photos in Legacy
Are you talking about jpgs of documents, like census records and the like? Or, photos of people in your family? If the latter, I'd suggest a genealogy program probably isn't the best solution for you. I'd try a program that allows you to tag photos into different groupings. Windows Photo Gallery actually doesn't do a bad job, and Google Photos works as well. I tried Picatta awhile back and didn't like it, but I don't remember why.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a name (when you only have AKA's)
I have a source that I use and re-use over and over again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository?
I would suggest you re-evaluate the concept of "sourcing" a photograph, but rather consider the three prong approach: 1) The fact (the person was buried and what the inscription says and who else buried in the plot). 2) The "thing" that makes you consider this fact to be true - in this case: your personal observation of headstones in this cemetery 3) The location of this "thing" - unless it is self-explanatory from the fact or the "thing" that supports the fact - where can you find it. In this case, I would suggest: Your fact is a burial, in a cemetery, with a given inscription, and nearby graves. Your source is: "Personal cemetery visit by L. Smith on 04/10/2016" (or the date could be in the citation, not the source). Your location (of the burial) and associated info is evident from what you enter into the fact: Cemetery name, headstone inscription, headstone location (gps if possible, or directions of the cemetery and within the cemetery. Some software offers different places for this info - or within entry boxes within the source itself. The photograph itself? It's simply a media item attached to this citation for this source. It doesn't require "sourcing", although info for the date and photographer should be entered in the software in an appropriate spot; so that info can be revealed if the photo is disclosed in a web page or report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Numbering System usage/survey
I might add a slight footnote regarding ancestral reports in the narrative format. If you go to the library and walk up and down the genealogy bookshelves, one will find many, many books that are entitled something like "The ancestors of." These books are almost universally presented in a fashion where there are chapters for each ancestral line, beginning with the top-of-line ancestor for that line and ending with the first female descendant of that line who was an ancestor of the root person. The reader is then referred to her husband's chapter. The husband's chapter will follow from his top-of-line ancestor down through sons until a woman is met who married an ancestor of the root person. Thus, if such a book has 50 chapters, you know the compiler has traced 50 different ancestral lines where there is one completely paternal line and all the rest are chapters ending with a woman who married a man in one of the other 50 chapters. This is very simple and also easy to follow, because you can follow one line from the Mayflower down to a woman descendant who married an ancestor of the root person in the 1900s all in one chapter. You can't do that in ahentafel report - you have to "jump" from one number to another. Somebody on the internet has actually devised a numbering system that follows this form of presentation. It is much more meaningful, in the narrative form at least, but probably also in a chart form, than a narrative report arranging all ancestors in ahnentafel numer order. I think it is quite disappointing that virtually all computer genealogy software that I am aware has defaulted to the ahnentfal narrative reports and do not print ancestral reports in the way that they have been presented in printed books for over a hundred years. This is no slam against Legacy - no other software that I am aware of does this either.

Re: [LegacyUG] Removing a line
Unless this is your paternal line, this line at some point had a woman marry a male ancestor of yours. Disconnect that woman from her parents. (I'm assuming you want to leave that woman in your file.) Now go to the top-of-line ancestral couple of that line, select the man or wife and export, then delete, all known descendants, including spouses. A couple of caveats that you may need to record and export and delete individually (or add to the dataset for export and delete). 1) Do you have parents of spouses? Step-parents of spouses? Other relatives of spouses? Step-children of this line who were blood children of spouses? etc, etc, etc. 2) Did either the father or mother the top-of-line ancestral couple have other spouses in your file with other descendants?

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents
Is Schommer their maiden name? Or did both marry men named Schommer? If that is their maiden name, I would give a parent whose last name is Schommer.
