Let's hope that the company doesn't decide to prune Legacy out of My
Heritage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Postings

[Sherry H]

As my hubby says "dinosaurs" . At least as we age and don't always
keep up with the new tech stuff, we kinda feel that way!

The staff spends most of their time on Facebook, but there are beta testers
and ex-staffers who are posting here. Your questions will get answered by
someone who knows!

The list was designed to be "users helping users", which means
minimal participation by staff.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Sherry H]

Are you *sure* they had 21 children? I've worked on families that I thought
were really large, only to find out that some kids were called by either
their first or middle name, even in census records, and found out there
weren't as many kids as I originally thought! And some were crazy like
Peter Leonard and Leonard Peter - one and the same? Or two kids?

Sounds like the TV show "19 Kids and Counting"!!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Location standards

[Sherry H]

Rules depend on whether or not you're planning on joining a lineage society
or uploading your data to FamilySearch. Otherwise, just be consistent for
your own sanity .

FamilySearch has specific requirements at
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Begin_Your_Genealogy_Quest#Recording_Locations
Recording Locations

   - *To record a location, start from the smallest entity to the largest*
   such as city, county, state, country.


   - For a person born in the USA, an example would be:*Chicago, Cook,
   Illinois, United States*.
   - If a person was not born in a city and you know the county, you might
   record just the county and state: *Cook, Illinois, United States*.
   - If you only know the state, you will record: *Illinois, United States*.

   - If you only know the country you will record: "United States".
   - In other parts of the world, locations may be: City, Province,
   Country. For example: *Chester, Cheshire, England* or *Acapulco,
   Guerrero, Mexico*.

[image: Html7.jpg] <https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/File:Html7.jpg>

   - As you type in the location, you will see a menu to select your
   location. This feature is to keep locations in a standard format to
   facilitate matches with similar names with the same associated locations.


   - *Record the location as shown on the earliest record you have of the
   event*. Many times the place where a birth took place is in a different
   county or province today and in some cases even in a different country! For
   example, a person may have been born in a town which is in Poland today,
   but the town may have been part of the Kingdom of Prussia when the event
   took place. Boundary lines change over time in many parts of the United
   States as well as the rest of the world.



Debbie, I'm in DAR, and always used commas when entering locations in the
applications. Is the "no commas" something new?

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

Carrie, Do you have children? Sometimes, after saying the same thing 2
or 3 times, it's easy to get irritated with them and you need to speak
louder (call it yelling if you wish, but I had no way of emphasizing
my words here other than in all caps).

The people I responded to were NOT (not yelling. just emphasizing)
reading what I was saying and I was getting upset having to write it
so many times because of the difficulty of doing email on this
particular device.

That's the hard part with written communication. Many
misunderstandings as to intent.  (BTW, you just shouted as well!!!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

PLEASE!!

REREAD what I wrote. I'm not expecting whole conversations from FB to
be posted here.

If a staff member posts and announcement, such as build release, new
webinar, reduced rates for MyHeritage or upgrade prices for Legacy or
Legacy products = THOSE should be posted on the LUG list. Tips would
also be nice. How-to only if someone on the LUG list asks.

How hard is that to understand?

FB Notifications are IMPOSSIBLE. I've turned them off in most of the
groups I am a member of (I have no "Friends" on FB as they're insane
as well - I've seen some of the threads and no way do I have the time
or energy for that nonsense!) and have few showing only in FB. I will
not get them by text or email. Even if they're not Legacy posts.

FB is so changeable that FB Purity has a hard time keeping up. Plus it
seems to slow FB down, at least for me.

I do subscribe to the LUG email. However, it seems that FB is quicker
for notifications as those are posted right away and the LUG email is
generally quite behind.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

Michele,

Not *every* post. Just announcements about Legacy, webinars, etc. And
if you decide to allow graphics in emails, then no problems. I'm on a
lot of HTML email lists. It's attachments that can get scary!

I agree with a lot of the users. I absolutely cannot handle the number
of posts to the Legacy FB page. One of my biggest gripes is the number
of posts that repeat what someone else just said. If a member sees
that a question has been satisfactorily answered, why answer it again?

I get annoyed with a lot of the groups where members just do a
one-word post that doesn't enhance the conversation at all - like
'Yes!" or "Amen!" - just hit the danged "Like" button if you agree!

Since I don't use FB for Legacy, and announcements or helpful info is
rarely posted by staff here, I feel left out of the Legacy loop.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

I tried to follow the LUG FB page and it's totally insane. I can't
keep up with it. People hijack threads on FB just as often as they do
in mailing lists

It can't take that long to copy a post you just made to FB and paste
it into an email. No need to retype the entire post. The people on the
mailing list won't get the follow-ups by the group that are on the FB
page but there's no reason they can't get announcements or other
pertinent information about Legacy.

*Many email programs can thread a conversation for you.
*It's very easy to search emails - I think much easier than searching
in a FB group, esp if the emails have a good subject line.
*Sticky announcements are annoying - once I've read it, it's still
there in my face and I can't get rid of it. I can delete an email.
*If a mailing list is moderated, either members or posts, then you can
cut down on spam. In fact, I can't remember the last time I've seen
spam on any of the mailing lists I'm on. On FB, you have to wade
through all the ads that FB puts in a group. A moderated list can also
put a stop to a thread by rejecting posts
*Polls can be sent on mailing lists as well. I just responded to one
on a book list.
*I can choose to save emails that are of particular interest to me or
delete ones I have no interest in. They're all lumped together on FB.
*All the graphics on a FB page are annoying.
*Mailing lists *can* allow pictures. Up to the list owner.

I've been using FB for a few Christian groups and still not a fan - I
so wish they were mailing lists instead!

Re: [LegacyUG] Map Family

[Sherry H]

If you keep your eye on the Legacy Home tab, you'll always find out
quckly when a new update is available. Some people even have their
options set for Legacy to open to that tab when you open Legacy - you
can get update info, reminders for birth dates and anniversaries as
well as the latest from Legacy News.

Re: [LegacyUG] FW: Warning about MyHeritage / OFF LIST / Personal Emails

[Sherry H]

A lot of people are not interested in a particular subject line. If
someone changes the topic without starting a new thread without an
appropriate subject line, it's their loss. People who *may* have been
able to help them are skipping the email because of the subject line.

It is frustrating for those who are interested in the subject, only to
find out that the subject has been hijacked. So from that point on,
you need to realize that the original topic is gone. If you wish to
continue the discussion, start a new thread!

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages - fonts

[Sherry H]

LTools is not a Legacy sponsored program - Dennis was totally on his
own with it.

When Legacy added Shared Events, Dennis had difficulty updating LTools
to work with all the changes in the program. There are even larger
data schema changes in v9.

Some parts of LTools work fine with Legacy v8 and 9. On the LTools
menu, there's a link to compatibility with v8
http://zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/legacy-v8-compatibility/  Tidy
HTML tool will work since it doesn't access the database itself.

He also has a warning on his site

"This toolkit’s intended audience is the “advanced” Legacy user.
Casual Legacy users who are not comfortable with computers in general
are encouraged NOT to use LTools. In addition, users who are NOT
familiar with general backup and recovery strategies AND Legacy’s
Backup/Restore functionality should not attempt to use LTools."

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[Sherry H]

The programmers were working with a company on a "Crossover" version
for the Mac but it wasn't going well, last I heard. Like Chris said,
Legacy will probably need a complete rework.

The Legacy website said it will run under Parallels, Fusion, or
Bootcamp.  https://legacyfamilytree.com/Features.asp   Not being a Mac
person, I don't know the differences.

Some Legacy users will stick with a Windows machine just for their
genealogy so they can run Legacy natively.

I totally agree Susie! There is *No* need for name calling and that can get
you removed/banned from the LUG List!

One thing that causes problems - when you go to the link to unsubscribe,
you also need to change the radio button from "Subscribe" to "Unsubscribe".

This list is actually quite inactive compared to the Facebook page!

They're not "my" programmers When I was working for Legacy in

Gene,

Legacy doesn't support non-Western European fonts. I don't know when
the programmers will be able to reprogram Legacy in a programming
language that supports those fonts. I know it's been a popular request
probably since the program was first released.

The only workaround is to use the closest English equivalent.

Re: [LegacyUG] Find a grave

It would be security settings on the second computer through the browser,

If this is at work, you'll need to check with the IT people there - they

I can easily go to certain websites at home, but at Jack In The Box they're

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy

[Sherry H]

And being aware of possible subscription problems can help the Legacy
Users who are planning on subscribing to My Heritage. Not everyone is
aware enough to watch out for the "automatic renewal" option and may
end up being charged for more time than they wish.

Someone I know subscribed for a smaller amount and his subscription
was renewed for *twice* that a year later. Not a happy camper because
he wasn't aware of the automatic renewal and how to turn it off. Don't
you think it's better to resolve something like this before it
happens???

The list is not specifically for Legacy Support to attend to - they
have more than enough to worry about - but for "users helping users"

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

[Sherry H]

If you want to argue with the guidelines, go ahead, Carrie. These have
been in place since the Legacy Lists first started...

I'm not looking at changing rules. You *could* consider the MyHeritage
website as an "add-on program". But they *do* own Legacy and I see
no reason why the website for the company that owns Legacy can't be
discussed.

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

[Sherry H]

Actually, since Legacy is owned by MyHeritage, it should be ok to
discuss the site.

The Legacy User Group Guidelines at
https://legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp state:
"The purpose of the LUG is to provide a forum for mutual help and the
friendly exchange of ideas related to the use of Legacy Family Tree
and its add-on programs, only. Please keep on topic."

It's better to be "nice" than rant, but I see no reason why
dissatisfaction about either should be disallowed. I think we should
be made aware of problems and issues that come up. It can help someone
in the future pay closer attention to what their doing and avoid the
heartache of automatic renewal if they can't afford it or have a
problem remembering to cancel the renewal.

I don't subscribe to any of the paid sites since being retired I can't
afford it and they're all available for free anyway at the local FHC.

You can create a "Scrapbook" (View ribbon) and include all graphics

document files (doc, PDF, xls), those can't be printed ou.

Also, from Scrapbook, you can print a Media File List so you can see a

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Feature of Legacy 9

[Sherry H]

Yup - it's broken and there's no way to produce maps.  I don't know if
or when the programmers will get it fixed - it's been broken for a
long time now! One of the best features in Legacy too!!! Very
frustrating.

Does FamilySearch use the AFN? I thought that was the super old

Re: [LegacyUG] Bing Maps and Geo-Code

[Sherry H]

Another company got the problem fixed right away, but supposedly with
Legacy there's some issue with the older programming language used or
the coding or something. I keep hearing about the major project it is
to fix it. Maps are used in numerous areas in Legacy.

I wonder why they can't use something like Google maps instead? I know
a ton of Legacy users use the mapping a lot and really miss it. I do!

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry Autosomal DNA Test

[Sherry H]

Unfortunately, v8 doesn't have Stories.

You could create a DNA Event and add the information there. If you
have multiple to add the DNA Event to, I'd suggest using the Event
Clipboard. I like the Clipboard feature so much better than Shared
Events.

No, there isn't.

There really aren't that many messages to the LUG like there used to

Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It?

[Sherry]

Hah! That's how I hit upon the fact that a cousin had posted my data
on his website - a rare name in the family showed up in a search
and he posted *all* the living info. He was fine with removing it. But
the other person who had taken the info and put it on *his* website
was slow to respond to me.  And a friend had a typo in her file -
someone she had passed the info on for his own use had put it on his
website.

I am strongly hesitant to share gedcoms or Family Files with others
now I don't think I'd share anything newer than my great
grandparents.

Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It?

In a test for one family member, I had hints for the census,
FamilySearch Family Tree (I can get those through FS) and Geni World
Family Tree, as well as MyHeritage Family Trees for another member.
The FamilySearch Family Trees were pretty common hits.

Not getting any record hits, although the site is supposed to have
actual records.

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage 50% off offer question

[Sherry]

Right - but there are so many different prices that people are seeing. I do
hope Geoff clarifies it. I think Chap was mentioning $103.

And when you go to a hint from Legacy to MyHeritage, you only see the
option for the data account at $9.95/month for a year.

Re: [LegacyUG] How do I install v. 8 on an iphone?

You can't. Legacy is a Windows program.

 You can get Families from TelGen and install that on your iPhone to
sync between Legacy on your PC and your phone

TelGen's website is http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicate marriages

[Sherry]

Not uncommon. I have two couples in my file that were married twice - one
got married to his second wife before the divorce was finalized with his
first wife and had to remarry the 2nd one after the divorce finalized, and
the other couple had a small private wedding and then a year later had a
larger wedding - her dream wedding at Disney World!

We have a friend who divorced and he and his wife later remarried.

Re: [LegacyUG] [MC-SUSPECTED-SPAM] Re: Print Hashtag report

[Sherry]

If you read the "intro" as to why the email is an attachment, you'll
understand. This warning is even posted where you sign up for the list, but
people still continue to use their yahoo and aol accounts

I do find this DMARC stuff terribly annoying. Much of the spam I receive at
my Yahoo email account are actually from other Yahoo accounts, so the DMARC
isn't very helpful!

The Legacy servers are well protected from spam and viruses. There is no
problem with reading these emails.

Re: [LegacyUG] updates

[Sherry]

Ian,

There is no "automatic update" and it's certainly not on a regular time
frame. Updates are released as they're ready and *you* have to initiate the
update process.

You may be thinking of the notification every 30 days to check for updates.

If you go to the Legacy Home tab in Legacy, you can also see if there's an
update available.

If you did try to update and you can't open Legacy now, go to the Legacy
website at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com and select Download > Download Update
to get the latest update.

Re: [LegacyUG] Divorce in Legacy Charting

Charley,

Showing the marriage status on charts, both in Legacy Charting and on the
charts in Legacy, is something that's been requested for years. Sadly, this
request has been ignored.

Please go to the Legacy Home tab and in the Support section, click on the
link "Make a Suggestion".

Let's keep bugging them for this very important piece of data!!! Without
it, it looks like the people in our tree are a bunch of bigamists!!!

When we reply, the return is "on behalf of" so you know who it's from.

Re: [LegacyUG] Resize of Legacy Application

Hi Dave,

With Legacy closed, go to the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr
folder and delete the Legacy2.usr file. It will be recreated when you
reopen Legacy and that should reset the size and placement of the windows.

Re: [LegacyUG] window opens off screen

[Sherry]

This is something I've dealt with for years when I was using Win7 and then
again after a fresh install of Win10 and talked with Ken, one of the
programmers, about it. He can't duplicate it and doesn't know what's going
on with it. And yes, I've seen this only with Legacy as well.

I've only seen it with v8. I used to use that version on my secondary
monitor all the time. I haven't been using v9 on the secondary monitor, so
it hasn't been an issue.

If I open v8 on the secondary monitor, I don't have any problems with the
windows going partially off screen.

I have previously tried Brian's suggestion of deleting the Legacy2.usr file
many times so Legacy can create a fresh one, but that hasn't helped at all.

It sounds like you do have both monitors on though. Have you tried playing
around with the settings for dual monitor display? Could your resolution be
part of the culprit if they're completely disappearing? I use a higher
resolution.

And no, I wouldn't expect a "child" window to show on the taskbar, task
manager, or in alt-tab, except for a couple of instances where the
programmers have broken them out to be independent, such as Legacy
Charting, File > Export and a couple of other places.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hello. Is anyone home?

[Sherry]

The list isn't as busy as it used to be. Most of the people went to the
Legacy Facebook page.

However, I do hope they keep the list open because not everyone wants to
use Facebook. I have a FB account, but personally find it *VERY* difficult
to navigate, particularly when a page is really active - and I've been
trying for over 6 months now! The only groups I pay attention to are the
ones that have very few posts.

I still prefer email over "social media"

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Sherry]

Dave,

You only mentioned AQ in passing, but I was commenting on your way of
thinking that you stated in your first sentence.

I didn't create the rules.

Certainly other programs have been mentioned in passing, but not quite the
promotion that the other poster gave.

And yes, Unicode has been on the "wish list" for a long time. However, the
current programming language that the programmers are using - VB6 - doesn't
support that. Until they can learn another programming language and port
Legacy over to that, the program won't be able to support Unicode. Some of
the most avid users of Legacy have found a "work-around" by using Western
European fonts - they find the advantages to Legacy far outweigh the
inability to add their Eastern European ancestry with the correct spelling.

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[Sherry]

This is a user's group for LEGACY and its add-on programs. This is stated
in the second sentence of the Legacy User Group Guidelines at
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp (the link is on the page
where you signed up to join the group)

The group was not created to promote other programs or for questions about
using other programs. It was created for those "how-to" questions when you
can't find the answers or figure out something

The message about FTM (and your promo for AQ) should have gone off-list.

Think about it - if you were selling Coke products, would you like someone
to be promoting Pepsi on your website or mailing list??

The programmers are busy programming and don't follow the lists like they
used to.

In the Support section of the Legacy Home tab, you can send Support
questions for technical support and Suggestions for new features or
enhancing existing ones. Use that form if you wish to suggest Unicode or
some other new feature.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

[Sherry]

I understand that - my comment is that you can't *trust* what you find on
Find A Grave to be accurate. One of the bonuses is tombstone pictures, but
that doesn't mean the information on the tombstone *or* the information
transcribed and placed on Find A Grave is accurate.

Sometimes people take these things as gospel. We need to be careful and get
the *primary* documentation

The spurious marriage and child for my ancestor was somehow "estimated" by
Find A Grave.

​Bad information can be posted on a website and *must* be confirmed by the
primary documentation - i.e., birth date from birth record, death date from
death record, etc.

A newbie would assume that what they find on the site is correct, but it's
not always.

I have written to people who have posted memorials to let them know they
posted bad info. most of them are just transcribing tombstones and have
no idea if the info is correct or not.

However, we're getting way far from Legacy in this thread

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

[Sherry]

I have seen all sorts of problems with Find A Grave.

My great grandfather's tombstone has a wrong birthdate.

FAG has a great granduncle married to a woman and fathering a child that
was not at all possible.

I thought SSDI shows where the benefits check was sent, not where the
person is buried? My father died in California, was buried in Montana and
the benefits check went to me in Washington. So the location for death
can't be used for either death or burial location!

I have seen bad information beget more bad information. When I see two
secondary or tertiary sources "match", I don't take it as gospel until I
find the *primary* source!

Re: [LegacyUG] USA County Verification

[Sherry]

I worked on the generation of the USA County Verifier and can attest that
several sources were used, primarily Handybook and Kane's "American
Counties" (particularly for "ghost counties" which no longer exist) along
with various websites. When the spelling for a county was in conflict
(LaSalle vs La Salle), I used the official spelling as found on the county
web page or state archives. There were even times when I contacted county
officials to confirm that the spelling was correct.

Re: [LegacyUG] Can I have both Legacy 7 and Legacy 9 running concurrently (different data file)?

[Sherry]

Margaret,

v9 doesn't "delete" v8 - it installs over it, like practically every other
program does when upgrading.

You can run v7 and v9 side-by-side but the files are not compatible. You
will have to covert a v7 file to the v9 format and in v9 you will need to
make a gedcom to import into v7, which can lose several things like shared
events, hashtags, history list, bookmarks, relationships, etc.

Did you realize that LTools doesn't fully support the v7 database,
particularly events? It should work with the v8 or v9 database (except for
events). I haven't tried it yet.

Re: [LegacyUG] Difference between 8 and 9

You can see the new features on the Legacy website at

Legacy v9 installed over Legacy v8. I think there's a way to go back if you
don't like v9, but I don't see it in the Knowledge Base - maybe someone
else can find it.

Your v8 number won't unlock the Deluxe features for v9. You'll need to
order an upgrade to get a v9 Deluxe number.

However you do need it to purchase the upgrade Support can give you

[Sherry]

I was tickled to see the programmers right on top of the update to fix the
incompatibility.

I *do not* like the change in Windows 10 to automatically update without
warning! I like to be notified that an update is available and do the
update when it's convenient for me. Oh well

Here's hoping I don't have any problems with my little mouse. Besides
having pink flamingos on it , it's smaller than a full size mouse and
bigger than a laptop mouse, so it's the perfect fit for my small hand!

Re: [LegacyUG] New Legacy Build Available

[Sherry]

I don't want to hear that!  I *love* my Logitech mouse Plus I have an
Azio keyboard. MS (Win10) can't identify either one in the Mouse and
Keyboard Center.

I'm glad Legacy's programmers were able to get the problems with Creators
and Legacy resolved quickly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a list of all family members shown as living etc

[Sherry]

John,

Go to Search > Find > and on the Missing Information tab, select only
"Death Date" and click on "Create List"

That will bring up a list of all those with no death dates. You can print
that list by clicking on the Print button (it will be sorted in the order
the Search List shows). You can select the fields you want to include.  Or
you can tag those individuals (Options > Advanced Tagging). To tag, select
an unused tag number, make sure you put the purpose of that tag in the
Description field, and click on "Tag Everyone in Search List". By bringing
the Edit tab forward, you can verify the basic information you have entered
and look at other information using the other tabs.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location list, Place names

[Sherry]

The Master Location List doesn't do well with no leading commas. You can't
sort correctly if you select a custom sort and the Expand/Contract Location
Parts (under Options) won't work correctly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location list, Place names

[Sherry]

I add "County" only when I don't know the city.

, King county, Washington, United States
Seattle, King, Washington, United States.

Although I can understand how confusing it might be if the city and county
are the same.

Plus I'm not a fan of abbreviations so I spell "county" out. There might be
those who aren't sure what "Co." means.  It's a common abbreviation for
"company"

The WA abbreviation for Washington state is also the abbreviation for
Western Australia and there's a town there with the same name as where I
live in Washington!

Re: [LegacyUG] Your emailing list

Strange, the list has been slow, although it picked up the past few days.

Note the instructions at the bottom of every email on how to unsubscribe.

Re: [LegacyUG] Electoral Registers

[Sherry]

John,

This list is for discussing Legacy and the Legacy Add-Ons, not general
genealogy questions.

Check www.CyndisList.com for what you're looking for or find a Rootsweb
list that discusses your area of research.

Unsubscribe from the list (see the link at the bottom) with your old email

Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express?

[Sherry]

There's a good article in the Legacy Knowledge Base at <http://support.
legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00524/14/Tips-and-How-Tos/
Share-Legacy-Family-Tree-and-Your-Family-File-on-a-CD.html> on sharing
Legacy and your Family Files on a CD.

If you follow the instructions exactly, it will install Legacy and
automatically move the data and media files to the appropriate folders.
