[LegacyUG] Windows 11

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a new computer.  Does Legacy run on Windows 11?

 

Thank you,

Rita in South Carolina

[LegacyUG] Hashtags and Bookmarks

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I have noticed that my Hashtags and Bookmarks don't stay.  

 

I have just started using Hashtags and have created two.  I don't know how
long after I noticed that the couple that I assigned one of the hashtag too,
their hashtag was greyed out, not blue, and when I clicked on the hashtag
icon in the family view there were no available hashtags to use.  So I
created another one and after I did the two that I created prior then showed
up.  This has happened now several times..every time I go to look for
the families that share those two hashtags their hashtags are greyed out.
Is there an option somewhere I need to turn on somewhere?

 

And for the last few months my bookmarks don't stay.

 

I am using the lastest version of Legacy 9 and windows 7.

 

Thank you for your help

 

Rita

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Problem

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Brian,
My problem(s) seem to be fixed but I want to make sure.

When the hints window started popping up all the time I went to the 
troubleshooting help and did what was in helpdeleting and 
reinstallingand then I had TWO windows that popped up every time I 
clicked on something (the hints window and do I want to allow Mellennia to make 
changes on my computer).  After unchecking Hints like you suggested, both of 
those windows do not come up.  Are both windows tied to Hints or do I have 
another issue lurking in the background waiting to pop out?

Thank you all for your help
Rita

Instead of removing the check box from the options screen in Options > 
Customize > View (not  General as you said in your message) > Section 8.13, 
click on the Select Background Hints button and remove the check marks from all 
the hint sources (MyHeritage.com, FamilySearch, FindMyPast.com and 
GenealogyBank).
Save that screen and you should see that the check box on Setting 8.13 is also 
off.
Save your options and you should not get the hints and they should stay off 
when you reopen Legacy.

PS the hints not working message problem has be tracked down to MyHeritage.com 
hints. If you just turn off that hint source you should not get the problem 
with Hints has stopped working but hints from the other sources will still 
appear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Big Problem

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Evelyn,



You are awesome  Thank you so much.  That even stopped the second box (Do I 
want to allow Mellennia to make changes) from popping up.



I was so afraid that my file had become corrupt.  I am still concerned that 
something might still be wrong.



Thank you again,

Rita

Hi Rita,



Open Legacy & get the error message box, I clicked the X in upper right corner 
of message box, then immediately went to customize options, and general, and 
removed the check mark from "show hints" and then click 'save' at the bottom of 
the screen.



Some of my selections on customize options do not save, and the hints is one of 
them, so I have to do this each time I open Legacy. I'm hoping that this 
problem is fixed on the next update.

[LegacyUG] Big Problem

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Please help.  I was having a problem with the hints window popping up saying
it had stopped working.  So I tried following the steps in the
troubleshooting section on the website and deleted the Legacy9 folder and
tried to reinstall the program.  Now things are much worse.  After the
install I got the message that Legcy 9 has been installed successful.  But
as the program opens I get another message that says "Do you want to let
Mellennia make changes to your computer", I click yes and the Hints has
stopped working window pops up again.  Now anything I click on within Legacy
both of those messages pop up, each time I click on something.

 

Please help, what do I do

[LegacyUG] Legacy and FindAGrave

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I have created hundreds of memorials on FindAGrave for family members in my
Legacy Database.  

 

Before the creation of the Find a Grave ID field I used the User ID field to
record the memorial numbers.  In the User ID field I would place an asterisk
at the end of the memorial number to indicate a memorial that I
created/maintain (number with no asterisk, someone else maintains that
memorial) I have tried placing an asterisk in the new Find a Grave ID field
but then Legacy doesn't find the memorial when you click on the Find A Grave
field.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to indicate that I maintain a memorial
on the individuals information screen and still be able to click on the Find
A Grave ID?

 

Thanks,

Rita

In the family view, above my name is the word "Self" and above my husband's
name is the word "Husband"for the life of me, I can't find where to
change that.  Also on my husband's side those labels only go up to
"Father-In-Law".  Is there a way to have the labels on his side continue for
more generations?

[LegacyUG] Shared Event Notes

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I have typed notes in the Events that I am sharing but they are not showing
in the Events of the person I am sharing them with.  And, yes I have checked
"Add Shared Event Notes" in the Event Options window.

 

Is this a known problem?

Ok, I unchecked the FindAGrave ID and that removed the numbers...But now the
bottom of page 1 is overlapping onto the top of page 2.

 

I did check/repair and have rebooted my computer but it is still
overlapping.

[LegacyUG] Numbers after Names

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I have printed an Individual Report and there is an 8 digit number after the
individuals name.

 

I have checked customizable options at 8.2 and nothing is checked there.  

 

Is there someplace else I need to check to turn off the numbers after name
on reports?

 

Thanks,

When all else fails I suggest trying File > File Maintenance, that will
sometimes correct weird behaviour.

Deleting and recreating the event might also work but that will remove it
from everyone and you will have to link the recreated event to all those
currently using the problem event. If it is only used by one or two that
might be worth the effort.

Hi Brian,

The "List Style" formatting is not checked.

The problem seems to only be with this one "created Event".  I check a 
different Event that I recreated and it reads fine on reports.

The Event reads fine in the Edit Event screen but not in the reports or when it 
is shared.

The problem is with your choices for event format in the Report Options.

Start the Report
Click the Report Options Button
Select the Format Tab
Click the Event Narrative Format

Make sure that this does not have "Use List Style formatting" selected.

I tested both reports for a custom event I created for my file and the created 
event correctly used the sentence style in both the FGR and Individual report.

If just changing the option does not correct the problem then use the reset 
button in the lower right of the report window to reset each report to their 
default options. Now change the Event Narrative Format to Sentence style if it 
is not already set.

Cathy,

Thank you for your response……….however, neither of the instances you suggested 
are the case.  Event Narrative is not set on “List” and there are no Duplicate 
Events.  I created a new Event and named it “City Directory” and there is only 
one of those.



Could this a bug with created Events?

Check this setting in each Report you use.
  Open the Report options and then click the Report Options button
  Go to the Format tab and click the Event Narrative Format. It sounds as 
if it is set on List.

If not, you actually have more than one Event and they have differnet Event 
Definitions.
Check at View - Master Lists - Event Definition.

Go to Options>Customise>6.Locations and enter the correct location for your

[LegacyUG] Looking in Temporary Interfiles

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi



I can't figure this out.  After reformatting my computer I installed Legacy
7.5 from the website.  I have several family files that I had backed up and
saved to an external hard drive.  I restored those files and then backed
them up.  Now when I go to File, Open Family File, Legacy is looking in
"Temporary Internet Files.  I can direct it to my C, Legacy, Data file but
the next time I want to open a family file it is looking in the Temporary
Internet File again.  What did I do wrong?  How can I fix, or do I need to
delete everything and start over again?



Thank you,

In the current version of Legacy 8, how do I get Event Notes to print in a
Descendant Book Report?

RE: [LegacyUG] Using Legacy 8 with Crossover on Mac

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi Earlene,



Here is part of an email I saved from Sherry in Technical Support stating that 
Legacy 8 does not work with Crossover.



Crossover isn't free. It's the supported version of WINE and there's a charge 
for it, although Legacy users get a discount.



WINE is free but unsupported.    
http://www.winehq.org/



I don't know if it works with v8 - since Crossover doesn't at this time, I 
don't think WINE will work with Legacy.





Sincerely,

Sherry

Earlene:

You might try these 2 things:

1.  In my use of VMWare and Parallels, It works the best if you set the virtual 
machine up to NOT share files with the Mac.  The VMs use basically network 
drive locations for the VM (e.g., //psf/user/Documents/...).  Network drives 
that have a "//" as the beginning of the drive location is just not in the L8 
vocabulary.

2.  Open up L8 with no file and go to Options >Customize >6. Locations.

Change the Default location for 6.1, 6.2 & 6.3 to the normal location in the 
Windows environment
6.1 would be:   C:\Users\Earlene\Documents\Legacy Family Tree Beta 8\Data\

6.2 would be:   C:\Users\Earlene\Documents\Legacy Family Tree Beta 8\Media\

6.3 would be:   C:\Users\Earlene\Documents\Legacy Family Tree Beta 
8\_AppData\Temp\

After doing steps 1 & 2, then try to open your L8 database (assuming you have 
copied it to the location in 6.1 above).

When you run the Tools >Media Relinker to get all of your pictures located, 
make sure you just have drive C: selected to search.  The VMs may have several 
other network drives that L8 doesn't recognize.

Good luck.

[LegacyUG] arrow key

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I am using the latest build with Window 7 64 bit.



When I click on the "Index" tab the curser is in the Surname box.  I start
typing a last name and then use the down arrow to start to scroll and the
curser jumps to the Given name box.  Once this has happened one time, I can
then put the curser back in the Surname box and type any number of letters
and use the down arrow to scroll.  When I get out of the "Index" tap and
come back the same thing happens.



Is this the way it is supposed to be?

RE: [LegacyUG] Tag descriptions missing?

Just as I hit send it occurred to me what probably happened, at least in my

version.  But wouldn't/shouldn't the rest of the tag descriptions show when I 
unlocked the deluxe?

Also right-clicking on a Marriage Tag brings up an Advanced Marriage Tagging

Can anyone else verify this problem?  I had one other person verify it prior to 
my reporting it, however, Support cannot duplicate this.

In Family View if I right click on a tag in a person's name the Advanced
Tagging screen opens and that tag that I right clicked on will show in 'Make
changes on #'. A great feature, which I use all the time. Except it now
only reliably works if I chose the husband. If I do the same for the wife I
will get a different selection, as follows…

Right clicking on Tags 1 through 4 will result in Tag #1 in 'Make changes on #'

Right clicking on Tag 5 = Tag #2

Right clicking on Tag 6 = Tag #3

Right clicking on Tag 7 = Tag #4

Right clicking on Tag 8 = Tag #5

Right clicking on Tag 9 = Tag #6

Thanks,

Bob A

When I was looking at this the screens moved too quickly for me to
notice that the Preview Button was greyed out.  That does, then, sound
as though the behaviour was intentional.

Personally, I would rather have the option of making some Option
selections or making one mouse click to open the Preview rather than
have the Preview open immediately and perhaps have to close it, make my
Option selections and open it again.  I've never found myself thinking
"oh I wish this Report opened straight away without me having to make
yet another mouse click"!  But I can see you might miss it if that's
what you're used to.

Mentioned recently that SOMETIMES I cannot scroll the Children grid with the 
mouse wheel, but I can if I click first on the Mother of the children.  
(Sometimes it is necessary to select the Father first, then the Mother and then 
I can scroll with the mouse.)

Has anyone else you says they cannot scroll the grid at all with the mouse 
wheel tried to duplicate this?  If you can confirm it, it is something which 
can be reported to the programmers for investigation.

In answer to C.G.O. and Mary, yes, it scrolls perfectly well with browsers,

Where on the list can you click?  If you click on a child you go to that 
child's family, if click in the blank area on the top you get the add menu, if 
click next to "full name" you get to the list columns menu.

Yes - did you click on the list?  Legacy doesn't start scrolling just by 
hovering over a list - you need to click on it.

You can also scroll with the scroll bars on the right and bottom.

The pop-up info on Family View was removed because you now have the Scrolling 
List (grid) view for children, which can provide a *lot* more information than 
the pop-up did.

Right click on the children and select View . Scrolling List (grid).
To customize fields, right click on an existing header.

The ability to show more fields of information for the children was something 
that a lot of users requested.

Barbara,

I use Carbonite and love it.  I emailed their customer support and asked 
specifically how to back up Legacy and it is very simple…..select a file or 
folder to be included in your backup, right-click the item and select ‘Back 
this up’ from the Carbonite context menu.



Hope that helps.

RE: [LegacyUG] Split View

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi Sherry,

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas….



I have done a reinstall of Legacy from the website.  My problem remains however 
it is not how I first thought.  It is not the split view that causes Legacy to 
freeze.  It is the particular family file that I was trying to open that causes 
the freeze.  My main file works fine and I can open it again in split view but 
if I try to open this one particular family file, by itself or in split view, 
that seems to cause the freeze.



What do I need to do?  I’m running Windows Vista.

RE: [LegacyUG] Same-sex unions

Robert,
This comes up from time to time.  Here is what I do and while it isn't perfect 
it works for me.

Enter to same sex partner in the wife's position (if you are entering two men) 
and then go to the marriage screen and click on the "Wording Options" tab.  
From there you can change the label to Husb and Husb or whatever you want

Hope this makes sense for you.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Same-sex unions

Today I learnt of a distant relative who was in a legal registered civil
relationship with a person of the same sex. I then started to look how
this could be entered into Legacy. What I've read, and I would like
members to confirm this, is that Legacy 7.5 is not capable of handling
this sort of relationship. Further, if I am to understand correctly, it
is against the policy of the software publishers to allow Legacy to be
record for such relationships or gender changes.

I would be most concerned if this is a policy decision and not just a
technical problem. As in genealogy we record the records as they are and
our own personal views and prejudices must override this.

Some time ago, I found in the parish register, my great aunt who
baptised her two illegitimate children who were born 12 years apart. I
was horrified to see that the vicar had recorded occupation as, "A
harlot", because this was official records I still recorded it as an
occupation and put some notes alongside.

I am hoping that some members can give me some reassurance and also how
I can work around entering this relationship into legacy.

Robert…

RE: [LegacyUG] new biological father

Thank you Michele,

Yes, it all made sense.  When I added them to my uncle and aunt, in the family 
view they went from showing as ½ kids to showing nothing after their name.  
Doing it that way I thought they were going to show up twice in the family 
view, but they did not.



I added the correct relationships for all of the parents, but what would you 
put for child status in my uncles marriage so it correctly reflects their 
status?  Adopted implies by both parents.



This is not something that has come up for me before so appreciate your imput.

You can link the children to both families.  Just add a child to your uncle’s 
marriage to this woman.  Right click in the list of children area.  Use the 
option “link to an existing son (or daughter).”  After you have linked the two 
children, right click on one of their names (while still in the family view 
with your uncle and his wife as the family view couple).  Click on “children’s 
settings”  On this page you can change their relationship to their father and 
mother.  You can now put them as the adopted children of the uncle and 
biological to the mother.



On the family view for the woman that your uncle married and her first husband, 
do the same thing.  Now you can mark their biological father as their 
biological father.



In summary,   the two children will show up as children in two different 
families.  In the first marriage of the woman they will show up as the 
biological child of the husband and wife.  In the family group of the woman’s 
2nd marriage, they will show up as the wife’s biological children but as the 
adoptive children of her 2nd husband.



I hope that all made sense.

I just added two children to a woman.  I do not have their fathers name.
Legacy did not automatically fill in a surname.  It seemed that in the past
under these circumstances Legacy would use the mother's surname in the
absence of the fathers information.  Am I remembering correctly or has it
always been this way, and if not is it now supposed to be this way?

Here is what I do for same sex relationships.It's not perfect but it 
helps.

I enter the same sex partner as the spouse, which of course makes that partner 
the wrong sex, and then click on marriage information and then click on the 
"Wording Options" tab.  From there you can at least change the labels in the 
Family View to whatever you wish Female and Female...Female and Same 
Sex PartnerWife and Wife, etc.

Hope this helps.

I wouldn't want to see Legacy changed in such a way that same sex
relationships were regarded at the norm.  Perhaps "Partner 1" and
"Partner 2" could be the normal with options to customise with
Male/Female, Husband/Wife, etc.  This could also cover relationships
where a male/female couple aren't/don't marry but the date on which
they got together to form a family unit is wanted.  I know there is a
box that can be checked to indicate a couple didn't marry but it isn't
immediately obvious they didn't, esp if a date is also included.
There's also the instances where there's an illegitimate child and an
alleged father.

Something else I would like to see is the dropping of "Unknown" for
the father where a child is illegitimate together with the indication
the mother had had a relationship with the child's father.

Rather than include all the various options as standard and thus
making Legacy ungainly and bloated, it might be better (from my point
of view) to simplify it but allow customisation.

[LegacyUG] Copy Custom Colors

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Is there a way to copy my custom colors from one computer to another.  I
have them set just as I like them on my desktop and I have been trying to
match them on my laptop and can't seem to get them exactly the same.

Thanks,
Rita in South Carolina

[LegacyUG] Burial plot number

I would like to know where others record a cemetery plot number.  Is there a

putting this in Notes somewhere?

I do not know if you are trying to update using the update from the Web
or the full version.

I recommend you use the full update version and tell IE to save the
installer file in a folder on your hard drive. I recommend using My
Documents not the desktop since the icon for the installer and Legacy
are the same, if both are on the desktop you can be confused over which
one is the installation and which is the working program.

I saw your note, but have no good answer. It is currently 430AM in California.

[LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative Duplexing Issue

I just printed a Descendant Narrative.  I have a printer that will print on
both sides so under Report Options and Page Setup I clicked "Double-sided
(vertical)".  The report printed fine but the Title page printed on the back
of the last page and the Table of Contents printed on the left facing page
(my paper has the holes pre punched).

Also is there a place to set the margins so the wider margin is on the bound
side?

The only way I can think of doing this is:

1) Create a new empty database.
2) Open in "Split Screen View" your original database. Now you have the
   empty database in one MDI window and the original database in the
   other.
3) Drag-n-drop the person you want to copy from the original database to
   the new empty database.
4) Now drag-n-drop the person in the new database back to the old.

I haven't tried this, so let us know if it works.

Your problem is more general than that. Other Hotmail, Gmail Yahoo! accounts
have been used to spam normal users. Some mail relay servers recognise this and
lump all users of these webmail services in the same bucket and do not pass on
messages from these services. Hence your 'hole' in the messages.

Real solution: get a real email address registered with a proper ISP. Then, you
have some sort of comeback if you notice missing messages. Otherwise, you just
have to put up with it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Report problem

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi Sherry,

1.  I do have the latest build

2.  I reset the report as instructed and that creates a one page report with no 
issues.


I went to report options, in the Pictures tab, I checked "Picture of Main 
Person".  No problem with that report, even though it was still a one page 
report.  Next I unchecked "Picture of Main Person" and checked "Event 
Pictures".  That report was 2 pages with no problems.  Then I went back and 
checked "Picture of Main Person" and left "Event Pictures" checked.  Here 
starts the problems.  Page one is OK, page two has the vertical line all the 
way done the page (this is the line that separates the Labels Father: (or 
Mother etc.) from the actual name.  This page only has three lines of 
information.  Page 3 is fine.

This still only seems to be happening on my father's page and I have tried 
several others.

What do you think is causing this?

Thanks,
Rita in South Carolina

I'm not able to duplicate this.

The first things to do when a report isn't formatting correctly even
when it's just for one individual:

1. Make sure you have the current build (7.5.0.112)

2. Reset the report options by clicking the Reset button in the lower
right corner of the main report option window.

You'll have to reselect your choices.

[LegacyUG] Index Tab

[Rita Lynn McKale]

There are two things I have noticed when working in the Index Tab that I
think have changed with the latest update.

1) If my curser is in the RIN field I cannot tab over to the Given field.  I
can tab from Given to Surname and from Surname to RIN but that's it.

2) After creating a new individual, they do not appear in the Index list
until I have closed and reopened Legacy.  I am reasonably certain in the
past they appeared in the Index as soon as they were created.

Would someone let know if these things used to work that way.

But isn’t the same thing accomplished when you back up your multi-media files 
and then unzip them in another machine?

Yes, when left in the “My Documents” you do not know which are linked to your 
Legacy files. It is so much easier that have your Legacy data and linked files 
in a folder by themselves, so you can copy ALL that is in that folder. You will 
have everything when moving or copying to take with you to another machine.



A bit of File management upfront will save you many headaches later.



I still do NOT like the fact that the default locations for the files is within 
the Legacy Program folder.

RE: [LegacyUG] New Mac

I also have a Mac and was told about a program called CrossOver (for Mac) that

 in CrossOver was Legacy 6.  I was wondering if anyone has tried Legacy in this

Scott - I've talked to support and they tell me it is a printer problem and not 
a MAC issue - I've learned to 'work around' it though so it isn't as bad a 
problem as I may have indicated. As you indicate - I love my MAC - there is so 
much more stability and I'm not always 'tweaking' some issue as I do on my PC. 
Just wish Legacy had a MAC program, but I understand that Legacy is a Windows 
platform. I've used a couple of the MAC genealogy programs, but none of them 
approach the Legacy for usability.



I used Parallels, Fusion and Bootcamp - finally settled on the Bootcamp package 
and it works just like any PC when in its configuration.  Installing the 
program isn't difficult - I'm no techie, but following the instructions was 
pretty easy.  Then Windows 7 install was just as though it was on a regular PC. 
As Scott said though, if you are reticent about doing it yourself, the tech 
folks are great in helping to get you going.

iMac user here ... the rest of the responses are spot on.  Legacy only runs on 
Windows, but you can run Windows on a Mac.  I use Fusion, which allows Windows

Mac OS sides easily.  Also, as stated, though, you don't need to buy a 
virtualization application, as Mac OS comes with Boot Camp, which will allow 
you to run boot your Mac with Windows, acting as a PC.



If you are not confident about your ability to install this software, you can 
take it to an Apple store.



As a reformed PC user, I think you'll enjoy the Mac generally, as it suffers 
from few of the challenges Windows does.



Keep in mind, though, that if you install Windows on the Mac while you are 
running that operating system, you are suspectible to any Windows 
issue--including viruses and the like--and thus should have adequate protection 
installed.  Know, however, that any virus, trojan, etc. you might contract on 
the Windows side will not effect the Mac OS side.



As for Bob's print issue below, I'd say that is either local to his computer, 
as my iMac is about the same age and I have no issues printing from either side 
and have not needed to "intervene".  Bob--have you tried calling Apple support 
to help with this issue?  I'm confident it shouldn't exist.



Best,



Scott

Hi Mike,
Your response has confused me a little.  I have viewed and printed the 'View

(during my spare time) to reattach the pages and pages and pages of pictures.  
There is nothing there I don't want.but they are ALL on my c drive.  I

Do as Ron said, but, at the same time, click on the button labelled 'View
Current List of Multimedia Locations' and then clear out anything in the
resulting list you don't want. I'd clear them all and start afresh.

It is usually far easier to opt to find the file yourself using Windows
Explorer. If you do not know the file name you will find it at the bottom
right of the Picture Gallery.

However, if you really want to wait for Legacy to find it, first go to
Options>Customise>Locations and change your picture location to "C:\"

I set up a test file with the following:

- I added a daughter Anne Smith
- I set the daughter Anne as adopted by both John & Mary
- I set John & Mary to divorced
- I added a new husband temporarily for Mary (named Harry, with no last name)

- Lastly, just to be sure, I ran all three file maintence actions

The database looks consistent with the situation Rita describes, I think.

If I understand the original post correctly, this appears to be the desired

Hi Richard,
There is no space or indication of a missing father.  I can do a simple 
Individual Report on the husband and the second adopted child (which is not

that's not right either.

If you look closely, there should be an extra 'carriage return' line between 
the two children. That is the 'space' for the missing(?) father. With data 
missing in fields (though accurate), the spacing can be unobvious, or actually 
wrong. You might want to create an actual 'unknown' for this report to get the 
spacing visually clearer.
Or, instead of unknown, you could call him Mr. Unneeded or similar.

[LegacyUG] Single parent adoption

Hi,
I have a husband and wife who adopted a daughter and then divorced.  After
the divorce the wife adopted another child (as a single mother).  I just
printed a Descendant Narrative and it looks like the second child was
adopted by both the husband and wife.  I have nothing in 'relationship to
father'.  What can I do so the second child only shows as a child of the
wife?

RE: [LegacyUG] Medical History

I think we're looking for diseases etc. that are inherited (or have a tendency 
to be inherited).  Thank you for giving this some thought...as always 
there is more than one way to approach this and I had not thought much about it 
until now.

Is there a way to print a pedigree that includes the 5th BMD field? Since we 
already have a place to record cause of death and medical notes, I was hoping 
for a way to print a pedigree chart with just that information.

The important question is, what are you planning to use this for. If you are 
tracking different cancers or birth defects for the greater family; or just one 
type, then you could use events. If tracking exactly one symptom, you can put 
that in the '5th' BMD field.
Deaf or blind are examples of 'one symptom'.
These are suggestions only, but may help you decide how and why you want to 
track death types.

[LegacyUG] Medical History

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi all,
My daughter has just found out she is pregnant.  Her doctor has asked her
for her medical history.

Has anyone ever used Legacy to create a Medical Pedigree?  If so please
could you give me some pointers? I'm too excited to think!

Thanks,
Rita in South Carolina

Hi,
I tried this a few times myself and found that if I click one time it brings up 
the menu you all are referring too, but if you double click then Legacy does as

[LegacyUG] Marriage Tags

[Rita Lynn McKale]

I just noticed that the Tag Descriptions for my Marriage Tags are gone.
When I hover my curser over the Tag the Description still shows, but when I
right click on the Tags there is NO Description.  The Individual Tags
Descriptions are all there, no problem.  Is there another place I should be
checking for my Marriage Tags?
Thanks,

RE: [LegacyUG] Colors changed on update

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi Gwen,
You are not alone.it happens to me EVERY time I upgrade.  I learned a while 
back to save my colors.  My labels on the Family page, File Edit etc however 
did not change to a white background.  Hope someone knows where to change that? 
 Have you tried just closing and opening Legacy to see they somehow reset 
themselves?

Thankyou for your reply Ron


I have always saved my work, but it happens each time.  I was curious

that the Labels on the Family page

I can turn that off, it is quite distracting.  Thanks for your help.

Are you sure ou haven't accidentally left a space on the Override tab, so
that as far as Legacy is concerned it is still active.

I have often removed text from the Override tab and never had the problem
you have, so the above seems the most likely thing.

[LegacyUG] Sentence Override

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi
I created an Event/Fact and in my haste I used the Sentence Override
feature.  Later, having some time, I filled in my wording options so my
Event/Fact would read the way I would like.  Now, I have removed the
sentence (in the Sentence Override Tab)but that tab still says 'active' even
though there is nothing there.  And the Event/Fact does not pick up any of
the information in the Description, Date or Place fields.

I know I can delete this Event and just create a new one but I'm wondering
if this is how it is supposed to work.  Am I just missing how to completely
remove the sentence in the Override tab?

Thanks,
Rita in South Carolina

RE: [LegacyUG] Media Backup

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Sometimes I just don't understandplease forgive me if this seems 
elementary to most of you.
I am working with Windows Vista on my desktop (main computer).  All of my 
pictures, documents etc. are organized in folders in the picture folder already 
set up in Vista.  I have pointed Legacy to the items I want linked to my family 
members and events.  I want to put Legacy on my new netbook.  If I backup my 
multimedia files and then follow the instructions Sherry referenced below, will 
my pictures (the ones linked to Legacy) then show up on my new netbook?  Or 
will I need to also copy my picture folder from my main pc onto my netbook?

Thanks for helping me understand.

I think the problem is that legacy does back up the multimedia files
but restoring a backup only restores the family file but doesn't unzip
the multimedia backup, you have to do that yourselve. So it might look
like legacy only did a back up of the multimedia links when you
restore a backup of a family file.

Come on people lighten up. Although, I agree with many of your comments, as a 
former teacher I can certainly empathize with the writer. The only dumb 
question is the one that “someone does not ask.” Occasionally, us new comers to 
Legacy appreciate the expert guidance and opinions of those that are more 
experienced than ourselves. You actually do yourselves, and Legacy, a 
disservice when we encounter your wrath.

In our haste and frustration sometimes we overlook the archives and correct 
netiquette in favor of going to those that are far more experienced than 
ourselves for a resolution to our problem, oversight, etc.

Excuse us for being newbie’s. Just remember that you were a newbie also at some 
point in time. All we are asking is a little guidance. If that offends anyone, 
so be it!!!

As for nitpicking his or her failure to give their name or return email 
address, I don't know their reasoning and to say otherwise would be sheer 
speculation. However, I do take responsibility for what I say, and I am not 
ashamed to admit that I said it. So if someone wants to nitpick my name and 
email address they are both listed below, so go ahead and take your best shot!!!

[LegacyUG] Picture Icon

Hi,
I have just noticed, in the family view for a male relative, half of the
picture icon is in color and the other half is grey.  This is not a relative
I have ever had a picture for.  Does anyone know why half of this icon is in
color and the other half grey?

Hi Herman,

I am a new Mac user (coming from a PC) so I am still learning.  I am using my 
Legacy on Bootcamp which is running Windows XP.  For me, I have installed the 
photos in the my pictures file in Windows, so I'm thinking you would have to 
install your photos in Vmfusion.  I really don't know anything about Vmfusion.



Wish I knew more to tell you.

Legacy.  What are the steps to do this?  Or do you have to install photos 
in vmware first?  This would mean they would be installed twice:  once in 
Iphoto and once in Vmware.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy update 7.4.0.19 removed index information, also have two shortcut icons

Would you tell me how to save your setup information (step by step) and how to 
load it back?  This happened to me with the last update and I would like to be 
prepared this time.  Thanks.

Sherry,

I had also added some columns in the 7.4.0.9 configuration which I believe
were deleted when I installed the update.  I added one back in and tried
clicking the Default button.  Everything changed back to the "squished"
format and the "Age" column disappeared again.  It may have had something to
do with when and how I saved the configuration.  It's Ok now and comes up
correctly at start-up.

I hope this helps your analysis.   Thanks,

Hugh

RE: [LegacyUG] Where to put life stories?

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi James,
I use notes for that type of thing.  I use the Research notes to collect all 
the tidbits, emails, and things like "I searched the entire census for St. 
Joseph Co. and could not find any Quinn's".  And then I use General Notes to 
tell "the story" where you can incorporate any/all of the items you've 
collected in your research notes.  Hope this gives you some ideas.

PS:  What I would like are some ideas on is where to record church/cemetery 
information.  I have several families where the church was very important and 
several generations attended the same church, donated land, founded the church, 
and lots of other things.  I would love not to have to repeat this information 
in everyone's notes.  Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm talking about the tidbits of information handed down in legends,

lived in a river boat on the river, or Great Aunt Sally dated Jesse
James, or whatever.  The stuff that puts some life into all the facts
we collect.  I've been toying with the idea of a custom event for
this, and I was going with one I wanted to call "Fun Facts", but I've
decided everything is not fun - like a triple killing in my tree.
And, of course, the 'fact' part is questionable.  It may be a fact
that this story was often told, but the story itself may not be a
fact.  Anyway, I'm looking for some ideas for how to do this.

In the case of an event, I was thinking I could use an entry format in
the notes section like so

[LegacyUG] Cemeteries and Churches

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Hi,
I would like to know how others deal with cemetery/church information.  I'm
not talking about the debate about putting the cemetery/church name in the
location field.  I'm just talking about general information about a certain
cemetery/church that pertains to many individuals.  If I put that
information in the notes section it gets repeated many times.  Maybe that is
what I will need to do, I just wanted to avoid the repetition.
Thanks,

RE: [LegacyUG] Child Status

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Child Status

Did you convert from Family Tree Maker to Legacy Family Tree. The
Natural for child relationships was and maybe still is, used by Family
Tree Maker but not by Legacy.


I did a few years ago.  And that would explain why so many are showing with 
'Natural' child relationships.  I did not notice this until recently when there 
was a post about showing the child relationships in the Family View and I 
changed my settings so I could see them.

Now, after reading Mike and Rich's response about the meaning of Natural, I'm 
wondering if there is a way to remove all those at once or would I have to go 
in one by one and change everyone.

Thanks,

RE: [LegacyUG] Questions about 7.4 and nFS

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Ron,
Thanks for your response however I still have the same questions.  I am not 
LDS, but would like to understand what nFS is.  Since I am not LDS is this 
something I will never be able to use?

Did the disappearing names on the index tab and notes come back for those 
affected?  And was that just for a couple people?

You're right I have not had much need for the source clipboard but I thought I 
read right after the new release that something was not available regarding the 
source clipboard that had been, and at least a couple people were very 
disappointed.  I try to learn more features of Legacy as I go along and this is 
something I am interested in using.

Rita,

Mike was emphasising the point that one should always back up before
updating, especially, as in this case, where the format of the database will
be changed. To revert back, uninstall 7.4, and install v7.0, then restore
from the back-up.

You do not say if you are LDS, if not when the screen pops up sking if you
want the nFS, say "No", otherwise "Yes".

You are wrong to say that "removed like having more than one item on the
source clipboard to select from". This was a change made when V7.0 was
launched. If you have never noticed then clearly you are one of the majority
who never used that function, so you were unaffected.

Some bugs have been corrected in the new version, but other than those, if
you are non-LDS you should see no change.

[LegacyUG] Questions about 7.4 and nFS

Hi,
I have not installed the latest version and I am a little nervous about
doing so.  I have read about things like names on the index tab
disappearing, and notes disappearing.  Are those isolated things, have they
been resolved?

I understand there are some features that have changed or have been removed
like having more than one item on the source clipboard to select from.  What
are some others?

Mike, do you mean to make a backup?  How would you go back to 7.0.0.109 if
you do not like 7.4?

Due to the volume of Legacy emails, I admit I do not read them all so my
apologies if this has been covered.  Could someone in a nutshell explain
what nFS is and how this will work with Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Incorrect link

[Rita Lynn McKale]

Ron,

Since I don't know if the kids share the same father or not they each have a
separate unknown father so there are three marriages (two unknown)for my
aunt and when I click through the different marriages for her only one of
these two kids (unknown fathers) show at a time in the unknown marraiges
(all three of the kids born to my aunt and uncle show in all marriages) but
both show in the marriage to my uncle as half kids.
That's why I was confused.

Rita,

I't a bit late here, and I've had a long day, so my apologies. I follow the
the part about what you did, but am unsure about the part about what kids
are showing up where and how!

So, this is what you should have. On the Spouse Screen (click the Spouse
Icon), your aunt should have the two marriages with the first marriage at
the top. The two children in question should be linked to this first
marriage.

The next bit depends on how you wish to show these two kids. You can leave
them just linked to the first marriage and they will show as half-kids on
the Family View screen for the second marriage. Or additionally you can link
them to the second marriage as either step, or adopted. In which case they
will show twice on Family View and also in Reports.

Hope that helps.

There is an existing problem that Show 1/2 kids does not show them all if
there is more than one unknown spouse - I actually do have an ancestor that
had kids from 2 different unknown men.  (Well, I'm assuming they were
different - she had ill. kids before she married, and ill. kids after her
husband died.)

However, if you are pretty certain that the kids were likely from the same
unknown person, you want to change it to only one "marriage" (or
relationship) with an unknown.So, unlike all but one of the kids from
the parents, go to the "marriage" of the person and the unknown, and add the
kids back in (add existing child).   Then, look at the list of the person's
spouses, and get rid of the extra marriages that are not needed.

Jane,

I understand that you are uncertain whether "Nelson" is Susanna's maiden
name or whther she had a previous marriage to a "Nelson", in event Carrie's
surname is "Nelson" and her father is unknown. First unlink Carrie from her
current parents, then create another marriage for Susanna - click on the
spouse Icon for Susanna and add a new husband called "unknown". Then link
Carrie to this marriage.

Return to the Spouse screen and ensure that the marriage to "Unknown" is
first in the list.

My ancestor married, as his third wife, Susanna Nelson, who, when they were
married, had a daughter, Carrie.  I do not know if she was illegitimate or
had a father named Nelson.  Somehow I got my ancestor iinput as Carrie's
father, which is quite incorrect.When I try to unlink Carrie from my
ancestor, it only allows one to unlink from "parents".  Of course, I only
wish to unlink from the father.  I am not sure how to fix this.  Nor can I
decide how to handle the correct father of Carrie.  Help?

Jane S.
