[LegacyUG] Billion Graves

[Terry Montgomery]

I see there is now a field called "Billion Graves ID" on the 
Individual's Information screen.


There is an icon for Find A Grave in the Search bar. Is there one for 
Billion Graves somewhere?

[LegacyUG] Adopted person

[Terry Montgomery]

I have just discovered a person who was adopted, and was took the name 
of her adoptive parents.


So there is the name of her biological parents, the name of her adoptive 
parents, and her married name.


How do people write this up in Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Book

[Terry Montgomery]

My answer to that is print the PDF as a PDF, leaving out the blank 
pages, and giving it a very similar name.


But I had been hoping it was possible to not have them in the first place.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage event

[Terry Montgomery]

Thanks, Cathy.

Couldn't follow your instructions. They didn't seem to apply or I 
misunderstood them.


But I right-clicked on the panel with my name in it and was offered the 
option to "unlink > from wife".

Did that and all was well. "from wife" is now greyed out.
Divorce now "divorce absolute".

Terry,
On Family view, click your Spouse icon when you are in one of the 
centre positions. If you don't know which, hover over the icons and it 
will say. It will indicate you have 1 spouse.

Highlight the unknown spouse and click Unlink.
Just clicking the marriage information screen can add a spouse/partner 
if you don't cancel out of it.

[LegacyUG] which date?

[Terry Montgomery]

I had been putting the date of a newspaper clipping as the date of an event.

But that poses problems when the clipping is a death notice. I get 
'event after death'.


What do other people do with dates on newspaper clippings?

Re: [LegacyUG] how to combine two files

This is great. I didn't know you could search on a created, or modified 
date.


Is this information visible somewhere on the individual's page?

Hi,

I made a real bonehead move when I did a search and replace. I meant 
to have only one word replaced and instead I replaced the whole 
whatever (picture caption, given name, general notes) in my 
entire file. Unfortunately, I did not catch on until I made at least 
216 more entries. I hate to lose 4 days of work. Is there a way to 
blend all the new work I did in the 4 days after my mistake with 
before making the mistake?


Thanks,
Gloria

[LegacyUG] Moving events

[Terry Montgomery]

I have just entered 16 Events before I realised they were under the 
wrong person. Apart from the hard way of writing them all into the 
correct person and then deleting them from where they are now, is there 
an easier way?

[LegacyUG] Nicknames

[Terry Montgomery]

When someone is known by a name other than his given name, I write - for 
my father - Ralph "Pat". For official documents his name is 'Ralph'; 
just one name. Otherwise he was never known as anything but 'Pat'


But what if John James were always called by his second name? If I write 
John "James" i would imply that James is not a real name.


What do others do?

Thank you, Jenny. It works. And because they all started with a numeral

This seems to work:  open the Picture Centre and at the top of the 
screen click the Browse button and navigate to the folder where your 
pictures are saved.  In the list, select the picture you want to 
identify.  It will show up on the right-hand side of the screen, under 
"Picture List."  Further down that side are 2 arrows labelled 
"Next/Previous person using picture."  Click on either of those arrows 
and the name of the individual to whom the picture is attached will be 
highlighted in the list on the left-hand side of the screen.


That's worked for me, anyway!

[LegacyUG] automerge

[Terry Montgomery]

Is t possible to alter the criteria for automerge?

I want to merge two files that are almost the same. Trouble is very few 
of them have baptisms and automerge requires a baptism date before it 
will accept two copies of the same person as being copies. If I could 
remove this requirement there would be far fewer items for me to 
manually decide.

[LegacyUG] How to change names of documents

[Terry Montgomery]

Some of my documents I have discovered to have misspelled names, others
were old names before I developed my present naming system.

How can I change the names without disappearing them from Legacy? The
hard way of course by making individual changes in every place in Legacy
that uses the document as evidence. But is there an easier way?

[LegacyUG] Potential Problems: Surname all Uppercase

[Terry Montgomery]

I use Legacy v8 Deluxe
Windows 8

I have always put surnames in Uppercase. I thought that was the proper
thing to do.
Legacy allows you to specify that this will always happen.
But then it will flag a potential problem. This happens regardless of
whether you have Uppercase surnames on or off.
You can tell Legacy on a case-by-case basis that a particular problem is
not a problem, but can I tell it that all uppercase is never a problem?
Not even a potential one.
