RE: [LegacyUG] Children
I have several families where I know there were other children but don't have a name as they died young or I just don't know the name. Depending on the circumstances: If i know the sex, I list them as Son, daughter (last name) or just Child (last name) if I don't know the sex. If there's several children I would name them 3 children. I would also include estimated B D dates. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone div Original message /divdivFrom: Brett McL Robinson b...@vodafone.co.nz /divdivDate:07/30/2014 5:07 AM (GMT-05:00) /divdivTo: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com /divdivSubject: [LegacyUG] Children /divdiv /divI have been adding family details and have several families where my source (a descendant of one of the families) has merely noted the number of children, with no names. I am tempted to ignore the number, but realise that it would be useful to note it with the family to help as a check in the future. Is there any way to add a number to the family records that will show up in the children display? I tried adding an unknown gender child named Given: 4 children (Colin+Karen) (for example), and wonder if anyone has tried this or something like it and can report on its success or limitations. This child would be over-written when the last child was added. -- Cheers, Brett B McL Robinson Tel +64 7 856 6582, 0277 500 714, fax +64 7 856 6582, Skype AB1252 PO Box 1252, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] Extra app data folder?
Hello, I've noticed that I have an _app data folder in x86 - Legacy8, and another _app data folder in Users - My Documents. I've been working on my database and the app data folder in My Documents has many more files and folders while the app data folder in legacy 8 seems to have the basic folders and appears to be duplicates of the one In My Documents. I'm wondering if the 2 app data folders are necessary or is one just a duplicate. if they are redundant where should the appropriate app data folder be.

[LegacyUG] What to do when a family is divided on two pages for a census record?
Hi,I don't create a source for each family,and I do edit the details appropriately,writing page 1 or page 2,my problem is that that you have to look for the second page of the family census,which is in the multimedia section and a person wont know that it is there,to look, so the first page that comes up wont list the children and it will look like a mistaken entry.For passenger lists,I have the scan and source data listed in an eventimmigration and I also have a second source attached to immigration with the picture of the ship. I was hoping to attach an additional source with page 2 of the family census,so they are both visible in the individualssource list and not go hunting for the second page of the family census.Thanks again,Brian Lehman Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Hello,I changed the source citations!Sort of an extension of Connie's suggestion,using the source clipboard also copied the source details and scan,which I didn't want to enter(maybe I didn't explain myself fully) I wanted to change what was entered in the edit master source definition window.What I did was,create a correct source that I wanted to enter in place of the wrong source.I then took all the names from the passenger list event list(that had the wrong source) and then went to the wrong source for the individual,cleared the source definition and entered XXX,so I had a source XXX and then combined it with the correct source,that accomplished what I wanted to do.I am truly amazed at the versatility of Legacy and what it can accomplish!Thank you for you input.Brian Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Thanks for the replies everyone,So I guess its more common that people add BMD sources and records by clicking the source icon to the right of the persons last name and not creating an event to add to?My problem with that is to access a birth record you have to go through and look for it in the source list instead of easy access in the event list.but then the birth date and place would be recorded twice.Thank you for further opinions,Brian Lehman Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Where to put records?
My point was,To find a source document,if I create an event for birth,in the event field,I just click on the event birth and it opens the edit event screen then I click the source icon an it opens the assigned sources,highlighting the birth entry and birth cert.If I don't create an event birth, to find the record,I need to hit the source icon and scroll/look for the birth record,in a list of many sources this can be bothersome.Don't think it really matters in nano-seconds,but I was wondering how others enter their BMD records,If there's a standard way to do this.Thank you,Brian Lehman Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Thanks for all the advise everyone,I'll be reading the help files Mike Fry suggested to figure this out.Gene Young,you mentioned .fdb extension and After each work session copy your family file to a USB thumb drive andbefore starting a new session load the current one onto the computer you are using. Alternatively, you can work from the thumb drive and save a copy to the computer you are working on at the end of each session.Does that mean,take the .fdb extension file from the updated computer and just overwrite the .fdb file on the old copy?What about the pictures attached to sources?Can a back up and restore on a flash drive work just as well?Any further advise will be appreciated.Thank again,Brian Lehman Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

[LegacyUG] FOUND,advise writing sources-Thanks
Thanks for the examples and suggestions guys.I think I get the idea,keep it simple.I always read that a source should let someone find the exact record referred to,so I added all the numbers,addresses and credits to Ancestry I could find,I think I need to focus on the actual physical location of the document,National Archives etc.Any further guidance would be appreciated.Thanks again--Brian Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Need advise writing sources
Hello,I am hoping to get advise about writing sources. I have been entering sources,not using source writer, for all my records,but for now I am concerned about the records I get from Ancestry.com. When I enter source info for say a naturalization record,I enter all the info found on the Ancestry page,and my source winds up looking like this : (Master and Details)Petition for Naturalization from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 1897-1944;National Archives, Washington, D.C.;Ancestry.com. Selected U.S. Naturalization Records - Original Documents, 1790-1974 (World Archives Project) [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2009; (National Archives Microfilm Publication M1972, 1457 rolls); Records of District Courts of the United States, Record Group 21; National Archives, Washington, D.C.Archive Roll: 1304(Roll 1144); Petition No.311001-311330; Naturalization Record Number: 372520; Lehman Ida;Petition for Naturalization;April 29,1938,Cert.No.372520My passenger lists and census sources are equally impressive. Trouble is,I have never seenwhat a good source should and shouldn't contain.Needless to say,I am using Legacy,could someone please advise as to what a source should look like,perhaps copy and paste one of your sources,for example?

[LegacyUG] TEST POST
Hello all.This post is a test to see if I can post a message on the LUG.So I am just writing a few opinions.I have tried in the past to post,went through all the procedures and still couldn't post.Hope this works.I bought Legacy about 3 months ago,coming from FTM 2009 for 6 years.I have to say I am very pleased with Legacy,one of the reasons I prefer legacy is that,I had several questions(why I wanted to post previously)but eventually I figured it outmyself, Legacy is very easy to understand,easier to work with,manipulate data, just about everything I wanted in a genealogy program,I found in Legacy,and did I mention theName List its practically a program unto itself! Well,now to click SEND an see if I am subscribed and sending.Take careBrian Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
