Geoff, is there a Webinar that details all the regular websites you use when 
doing your researchand whether they are sites that require subscription or 
not.  You noted several in the "Unlocked" book --which I found to be an 
extremely helpful book.  And one other thing...when do you "declare" that a 
particular research subject is in FACT the one that links to your tree.  There 
are several that I've found that seemingly are linked, but the absolute 
conclusive evidence might not be there.
ThanksSteve Benjamin

Has anyone ever experienced this?  
1) Legacy 9 Deluxe open and while I was creating a TO DO it suddenly FROZE.  
Cursor would move but nothing was responding...nothing in Legacy and nothing in 
any other program.
2) After waiting a few MINUTES I finally did a FORCED shut down of my computer.
3) When I attempted to reopen, it threw an error saying "The instruction at 
such and such referenced memory at such and such location.  The required data 
was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0x022."
4) I've contacted Support at Legacy and they do not know any such problem.
5) I've Uninstalled the program 4 or 5 times using Legacy Support's 
instructions and reinstalled a freshly downloaded copy to no avail.
Can anyone advise on if they've seen this before and if they know a solution?

Ok, 

Is there an easy tutorial on how to use this function in Legacy? I sometimes 
find good information but when I try to copy it over/merge it with my 
information, I end up with ALT dates. Say I have just the year and Family 
Search has the entire date, I would have thought it would be easy to press a 
button and have the information copied.

Re: [LegacyUG] New Email Process

2016-03-28 Thread STEPHEN 
Okay, I don't get it. Since I sent this 03/19/16 email, I stopped receiving any 
group emails in my spam folder even though I made no changes of any kind any 
place. However, I also stopped receiving many emails period, including Webinar 
announcements. Looking on the archives, there have been approximately 86 
entries since 03/20/16 of which I am guessing that I have received about 10. 
For today, 03/28/16, there are 10 entries yet the only one that I have received 
is the one from Brian/Support regarding Attachments. 
What is going on?

Subject: [LegacyUG] New Email Process 


I have been on this list for approximately 9 years and have received immense 
benefit from it but I am now afraid that this may be coming to an end. 
  
Recently I have been receiving a few emails in my inbox as they should, some 
emails with attachments which has been explained e.g. yahoo and which I will 
not open but will instead delete immediately, and the majority have been 
received in my spam folder which again I will not open. At this moment, I have 
received 10 emails in my inbox and 46 emails in my spam folder for the period 
of 03/16/16 - 03/19/16. I also know that some emails are never received at all. 

As an example of my frustration, I received Pat Hickin's email in my inbox 
inquiring about creating a Comprehensive PDF which immediately attracted my 
interest. This was followed by two emails responding to this which seemed to 
imply that Michele had furnished the answer. However I had not received that. I 
then found Michele's response in my spam folder which again I will not open. 

I next decided to check the archives believing that the entire thread would be 
readable there. However, I there discovered that the archive hadn't been 
updated since 03/15/16 so there was no Comprehensive PDF thread. I finally 
found it updated today, 03/19/16, with the thread including Michele's solution 
which was great. 

I understand Ken McGinnis' explanation of MailServers altering headers, etc., 
leading to spam issues. However, I do not understand why I can receive Pat 
Hickin in my inbox and have received Michele there also on other occasions, yet 
Michele responding to Pat goes into spam. It seems that there should be some 
degree of consistency in the handling. 

So my question is whether there is any hope for improvement? If there is, I 
will try to stick it out because I have always liked this list. If, however, 
this is the way it is going to be, I will be submitting an unsubscribe request. 
If I can't receive information in my inbox and I can't rely on the archives, 
then there is no benefit. 

And please don't tell me to change email providers as it is a little late for 
that. I have been using Xfinity/Comcast webmail for over 10 years and I have it 
configured the way that I want it with some 170 folders for storage. 

Hoping for an optimistic response.

They might but you can protect the timeline file by changing the file
name. You will find the timeline files in the Documents\Legacy Family

If you select the report options tab and turn on the timeline column
then the duration for events will be displayed in the timeline as a
horizontal bar between the start and end dates. Only the start date will
be included in the event list though.

If you want to mark the start and end of the event in the chronological
list you can edit the timeline files to have two events, one for the
Start of WW II on 1 Sep 1939 and the second to mark the end on 2 Sep 1945.

Re: [LegacyUG] Why don't I receive emails?

2015-11-18 Thread STEPHEN 
On the two points that have been raised for this issue,
 
1) I frequently will not receive any email from the list for several days and 
then it starts again. I simply go online to the archives where I always find 
that there is none for the missing days. Apparently everybody had other things 
to do. No problem.
 
2) As stated by CE, I constantly receive posts replying to previous posts that 
I never received. Fortunately the previous posts are usually embedded in the 
replies so I can tell what the subject is.

It addition to the random, capricious dropping of subscribers, I all too often 
get posts that are answering posts that I never got. So many other lists work 
without a hitch, it is too bad Legacy can't.

I also, like many on this list, don't always get emails from the group. Often a 
whole week goes by without any email at all, which is most unusual for this 
group, and then they start up again. I have no idea why and I don't know how to 
re-set any of the preferences. I don't know if I miss any emails since I don't 
get a long backlog when they start up again. Maybe everyone is just quiet now 
and then?
So I guess that's just how it is.

I belonged to this list a while ago, but somehow got taken off. After trying 
several times to re-subscribe with no success, I finally gave up. Trying to 
subscribe again, gets me the notice that it was successful. But still no 
emails. Not even in my Spam box. Any suggestions? I'm using the archives now.

And Sherry, I do worry about the numbers. I am not blindly downloading whenever 
an update is available but am waiting to see what falls out of it. If there are 
complaints about version xxx, then I want to know if that is your current

Their LDS membership does not seem to be the controlling factor.
Messages I have seen from them seem very sincere that this is

Not only do they have to change their data model, but they also have

Yahoo mail is a real problem for us. They've done some things to their

all sorts of lists, unless you're posing to a Yahoo group!

I'd recommend using a different email address for contacting us and

know Yahoo doesn't work using our Problem Report Form so it's not just

Re: [LegacyUG] Any Way to Make a Family File Read-Only?

2015-03-15 Thread Stephen Dowdy 
The semantics of Windows' READONLY bit on files is not the same as Linux'
Immutable attribute (immutability on Linux requires 'root' to set/unset) --
i don't know if there's a true equivalent.   So, i'd suggest that given
that you have no control over Legacy's insistence that it erase the
READONLY bit [1], that you try to use elevated privileges (another account
at least) to set ACLs on the file(s) in question to allow READ by Everyone
(or those in question), but only allow full-control by an elevated
account.   You may have to use TAKEOWN to make the files owned by an
elevated account.  (or just try copying your database into another
account's

Once you've done all this, i bet you will run into Legacy fatally faulting
and exiting, however (which is why i'm not bothering to test the validity
of my theory).  I suspect the engineers have made the assumption that they
MUST have write access to the file, and there's either deliberate code
conditionals that gracefully exit the program, or ungracefully take an
exception.

I don't know if there are restrictions on mention of other vendor products
on this list (etiquette #2 is just seems advisory), and i have no direct
experience, but you can find products that can take GEDCOM and create
directly runnable EXEs or do view only of GEDCOM data.   google: gedcom
view-only.   (yes, i do know that GEDCOM interchange is lossy)

Anyway I will +1 the idea that Legacy should have a View-Only mode.
(preferably selectable as a field value inside the Access database with
associated UI controls)

--stephen

[1] IMHO, this behavior (silently altering filesystem metadata for objects
that are normally user-controlled ) is bad practice.  the program should
issue a warning or error message that it can not proceed due to the files
being READONLY .  (In a Perfect World...).  I do, however, understand the
lowest common denominator user-targeted programming model that's common
on Windows and the support overhead arguments being made in this thread
-- but  I'm an advocate for at least having Advanced User modes that can
be enabled where sensibility takes over again.   Don't know how much
engineering changes would need to be made to the program to support a
VIEW-ONLY mode.

You're not doing anything wrong. This is another instance of a major bug in 
Events overrides. It has been reported before, but not in the Marriage Event. 
How discouraging that Legacy 8 is unusable in its major strong suit, which used 
to be allowing for individual tweaking. They have s many bugs to fix, 
create more when they fix some, and seem unable to keep up. No wonder smart 
people still use 7.5. There is truth in the old adage, if it ain't broke.  
Legacy 7.5 is wonderful, but they have so much to do trying to keep 8 going 
that they can't support 7.5 any more. All the bells and whistles in the world 
don't matter when you can't do the basics. It was certainly released much too 
early. I hope they get their act together soon. I know of more that 50 people 
who have abandoned Legacy 8, some reverting to 7.5 via the less than ideal 
means of a GEDCOM, and others who need a stable database. SIGH! Why spoil a 
good track record with this?
 
Hang in there or revert to 7.5 if need be until they get on track.

 I must be doing something wrong. I am using Legacy 8.0.8.454 on a
 Windows 7 computer. I have added a Marriage License event to a person
 instead of a couple since I don't plan on adding the spouse (unless he
 is otherwise connected to the family). Without the override it says she
 got a license to marry herself. So in the override I add

 [FirstName] obtained a license to marry [Desc] [onDate]. where [Desc] is
 the name of the spouse.

 I expect to see that she obtained a license to marry so and so on such
 and such a date.

 But the date doesn't show up. Just that she obtained a license to marry
 so and so.

 Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

with middle names where only the initial is known?  It seems that in
this computer age, we could safely omit those periods.  It won't cause
any concerns for search engines, right? Is there a way to turn off the
suggestion in Legacy 8 so as not to be reminded if periods are not used

names should be completely spelled out for accuracy (ie, don't use USA,
