[LegacyUG] Sources
What is the recommended procedure to add source documentation. Should a scanned document (.pdf, .doc, .xls, etc) be added as a Multimedia 'file' under the event detail, or should the scanned document be added under the master source as a 'file'?

[LegacyUG] Duplicate Problem
I received a GEDCOM file that I would like to add to my files (to a backup copy just as a safeguard). In importing the GEDCOM of approximately 2000+ names, I have discovered duplication of about half of the persons imported. Is there a recommended way to eliminate the duplications? I tried the duplication process and it appears that I have to address each pair separately. This creates a problem when looking at the names and data as to which one is the accurate one or even if it is a duplication. Suggestions?

[LegacyUG] New Person Entry Error
Need some help in how to handle an error. When I am attempting to 'Add A New Person' I'm encountering an error which reads: ' ...Error getting next deleted RIN. Error 3021: No current record. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN. Responses available YES, NO, QUIT…'. It seems to also affect entering a new marriage on occasion. None of the responses seem to work very well. Clicking on YES continues to TRY AGAIN and again and again and again , so it not useable. NO sometimes allows me to enter a new person immediately and at other time it will permit me to enter a new person after a lengthy search. Quit closes out Legacy altogether.

[LegacyUG] Re: Webinar - Entering Census
I have attempted to edit the source detail in an event on census data for 1930 and get the error 3163 at the point where I enter the Enumeration district and try to save - evidently the detail data data entered is to large to accept.

[LegacyUG] Source Writer
I want to pass on an issue for those who might be thinking of moving to another program. I am attempting to move my Legacy files to FTM for MAC via GEDCOM and discovered an item folks might want to consider. In using the 'Source Writer' in lieu of the 'Basic', to enter my sources, I have discovered that the move to FTMM considers all Source Writer entries to be errors. Basic seemed to transfer OK.

[LegacyUG] Digitized Files
I have a problem and need some help that I am unable to find in the Legacy textbook or in the help files. I have scanned a lot of research files'/source documents into my PC - about 700 of them - and would like to add these files tas a part of the Master Source. If I can do that, then when adding the Master Source to a specific group of persons, the digitized file can be seen if one wants review the document. My concern is that in adding the digitized file to a Master Source, how do you add it - as a 'Picture' or 'Repository' (not sure about this part) or other? Also, when setting up the 'Location' for these files, how do you arrange this? I've been working around this for two weeks and still can't figure it out. I thought I had it figured out, but when I returned the file to my home PC, the work I had done was lost or at least I was unable to see the added digitized files. I know this request is vague, so perhaps someone who is adding his/her digitized files to a source could give me a step-by-step procedure of how you do this, or point me to a legacy site that discusses it.

[LegacyUG] CORRECTING DATA
I'm looking for some advice on adding a piece of data to an event that affects multiple persons. Is there any way to add a piece of data (i.e., a correction if you will) to an event that is already attached to say 100 persons, without having to visit each RIN/MRIN to add/correct the event? Also, is there a way to assure oneself that all those 100 affected by the change has been entered? I have found that I have need to correct a lot of individual events and am seeking some advice that would permit a mass change - if one is available. The method I'm using is so long, it would bore the reader, and I'm not sure how long the explanation would be - but I hope someone might have encountered this issue has a simpler solution.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Pictures
Leon - I have the picture added to the source, but when I add the source to multiple people (i.e., all those buried in cemetery A), the source shows at the end of the book but repeats with the photo for each entry of the same source. Do you know of a way to restrict the picture to the first entry? I think this may be in the same concern I have that a source repeats, but does not use the 'ibid' feature. I suspect Ron's suggestion may be my 'out'. Thanks for the reply.

[LegacyUG] Location Pictures
I need some guidance or clarification on a couple of minor items. When preparing a book descendant narrative and entering an event (such as the burial cemetery or a ‘file’) and I add a picture of the church associated with the cemetery, or a ‘file’ – this picture repeats in the book for all those for whom I have added the event picture? Is there any way to add such a photo to each individual but have the picture appear only once in the book? Also, where does an event ‘file’ appear when you write a book narrative? I have experimented with most functions, but I have found that the only way I can get a picture of a cemetery or other location added is to add it to the individual, but that replicates the picture for all who have the same picture added to the event. If adding a ‘file’, a burial picture, or a location picture, the picture does not appear in the book. For my purposes, a picture associated with the Location which would show only once when I print the location in the resultant book would work for me. That way, the burial or other event would only appear once within the location portion of the book. Is any of this possible or am I misinterpreting how the picture function works? I can leave the location picture out of my book, but am curious as to why a ‘burial picture’ is available to add to the individual data, but does not show when a book is prepared, or why the Location does not permit adding the site photo.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a Mac
Yes, you would have to factor in the Windows software and also the VMware to run the Legacy program. I went to a MAC because I just got sick and tired of all the 'tweaking' and the problems with a PC. My MAC has been solid and none fo the seemingly endless PC issues.

Re: [LegacyUG] No Period After An Initial
I had a similar problem and I believe I had to visit each of the items. BTW - I use Legacy 7.0.0.109 - is that the most current one or is there a 7.4? I am unfamiliar with 7.4 mentioned in your mail, but if there is a new verison, please tell me where to obtain same. The Legacy internet site still shows 7.0.0.109 as the most current.

Re: [LegacyUG] Suggestions
Well put Janis. I think I have a pretty tough skin after being in the military for 30 years, so I slough off those who want to be mean spirited. As you indicate, there are a lot of folks who have helped without the rancor of the '2%' factor. Such responses aren't restricted to this forum by a long shot, but it all boils down to just good manners and a tolerance for our human foibles - which seems to be in short supply these days. I have been more of a 'lurker' than a participant and have learned a lot from the questions posed and answered - so I will continue to learn from this site.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Report with Editable Text and Pictures
I understand that you are discussing Family Group Reports (FGR), but I was alluding to my penchant for 'Report --> Book --> Descendant-Narrative' where the 'events' are either positioned as footnotes with the individual, which would be similar to the FGR, or positioned at the end of the book if using endnotes. As I indicated, it was just an observation - and a personal choice, being neither 'wrong' nor critical as has been implied. I thought this forum was for discussing ways of using Legacy and asking questions - am wrong on this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Report with Editable Text and Pictures
I experimented with Mary's suggestion and with an event 'Notes', you can move the data to any spot in the End notes. However, it sort of loses appeal to me when the data is not with the individual in a book narrative. If you have a 500 page book, the individual note (now an event) is listed on page 385 (example only) and seems to remove the 'history' from the immediate individual. Guess it is all in one's preference, but it is an interesting concept. - especially the photo addition possibility.
