[LegacyUG] Vanishing Source List
Hi Listers, Just had something weird happen and wonder if anyone knows how to reverse it. Was adding a few people from sources I had already in my Master Source List. The next time, just seconds later, that I went to pick from the list, the entire thing was gone and in its place were three sources that I have used some time ago for a small tree. I've tried restoring zip files from yesterday and several days ago and find the same thing. But when I look at individual files for what sources are noted, they are all still noted. It is the same on the original and the two restored from zip files. I have over 30,000 names so there are a lot of sources. Any ideas of what I could have done and how to fix it? I am assuming I held down a command key.

[LegacyUG] Trying to add a new source to my Legacy File
Sorry Boyd, not the answer. The box is checked and I don't have any problem seeing filled in and blank lines on the individual's source screen. My problem is to add a new source I have to keep retyping for each time since I can't choose it from the list. I have a lot of experience as I have had Legacy since Version 7 came out and I have 26,000 names on my main tree. This is something that just started to happen. Can anyone replicate it? Also I have to go to the Archives to see any answers, as I haven't been getting the E-Mails for a year no matter what they tried. But I have decided I like it this way and just periodically check the Archives. Boyd Miller Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:14:38 -0700 On the Assigned Sources screen, about halfway down on the right there is a box Show all events. If this is not ticked you can only see events which already have sources assigned to them. You can't add any other sources except to the Unspecified category. Just tick that box and all will be revealed.

[LegacyUG] Trying to add a new source to my Legacy File
Hi Listers, I'm experiencing difficulty adding a new source. Ran the Check/Repair, but still won't work. I accessed the Add when in the list of sources, fill in my info and when I hit Save, I am taken to the top line of my Sources and the source has not been created. When I tried setting it up from the individual's page, the source would enter onto the individual's source page, but didn't show up in the Sources and I again end up on the top line of my sources. Is this a bug? Any ideas?

[LegacyUG] Tree Finder
Hi listers, Is this a bug? My tree's highest number today is 20760. I have set to reuse abandoned RINS. In another place I have 20694 individuals in my tree and have not deleted or merged anyone in at least two days while I have added at least 50 people. There are 19291 listed in Tree Finder. I am aware of one tree that has not been included which has about 151 people which still makes only 19442. Nothing adds up. I am trying to remove most of the unconnected lines. Any idea why these numbers don't add up? Or how I can locate other unconnected trees not now showing up?

Re: [LegacyUG] What do I do if I worked in the wrong version of Legacy for a day
I don't believe by version that the query meant two different version of Legacy like 6 7.5. He worked on his flash drive and then on his PC so has different info on the two on the same version of Legacy. I believe I have read in some past E-Mails about Intellimerge and that it should be very simple. You would only be merging the actual data bases. So you might look for those past E-Mails.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy's Association with World Vital Records
I should mention as a retired call center collector that outbound calls would be made from different numbers than inbound calls would be directed. So you could think it was a spoof number when it wasn't. I would image that most centers that do outbound calling have that type of a phone system. Also I have not received any calls from GenealogyBank.com. I get a lot of E-Mails from World Vital Records because I bit on their free days during some holiday or special about a year ago. I just couldn't figure out how to do an effective search. Ancestry may not bring up what I want immediately; but I can usually find some way to get the info.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Search Integration
I am a missionary at the main Family History Library. Right now the developers can't promise that if sources are added they will still be there after more development. So we've been advised not to bother to type in the sources, but to do so when they finish the development, by which time Legacy will certainly be ready. Sourcing is very important. If Legacy's integration is ready earlier (and includes sources) you can certainly add the sources but recheck later to be sure you don't have to replace the info. The expert on our floor says he has made sure of complete documentation for his first eight generations to be ready. Utah and other state(s) left to the last were added about December. A new Beta test is about to get underway.

It has been doing a good job of consolidating information from various LDS sources (a HUGE process of course) as well as anything people submit or put up but it is an interesting process because there may be a few people working on an individual's information, or there may be hundreds or thousands of people working on it. I believe that is why most of Utah, even if LDS, have not yet been included in the beta, because of the number of people doing genealogy on the same people... Basically there can be hundreds of submitters of same/similar information, and getting it consolidated correctly is hard. A lot of the stuff already on newFamilySearch doesn't have source information to primary or even what I would call a secondary source a lot of the current source information just ways which LDS information database it came from - and for a lot the submitter name (which for a lot of the old stuff (ie submitted to an LDS database a long time ago) is just a code. You are able to declare yourself the submitter of information that just has a code for the submitter name if you have a reasonable expectation of having been that person. (ie, I have declared myself to be submitter #whatever) to some stuff that was submitted to the Ancestral File, as I did submit stuff back then, and the information being displayed from that submitter looked like it probably would match what I had back then On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 12:10 PM, Kirsten Bowman vik...@rvi.net wrote: Bruce: Do you recall anything from the presentation about including sources with the information that individuals upload from Legacy, or if there are sources with the information already at newFamilySearch?

Doug, Same thing happened to me last week when I tried to send a message. Looked at my E-Mails and I didn't have any for the prev three days. I just resubscribed. If you haven't seen all the problems with the message they send out, usually is a space missing between / and optin and you have to move the link in two parts into your browser.

Only two user defined fields, properly distinguished by a leading underline - _PREF and _MEDI. Then I thought to look at the header. The date was Nov 2008, but Legacy version 3! OK, Legacy does things right and did so long ago, but what Robert got back could have been sourced by any program providing a GEDCOM that Ancestry could (sort of) read. Since Nov 2008 is only two years ago, probably Ancestry is not the origin of either the UID or APID tags seen. Since clearly oddities may be encountered, cautions against blithe editing of GEDCOMs are further supported. That said, how else other than looking at the GEDCOM is one to have confidence how to instruct Legacy to remap? Was there a sensible mapping for APID? Was UID just a standard field lacking the underline prefix for it's tag, or something oddball now imported into Legacy? If standard and a rare or unique case with others _UID, Is that a warning of possible corruption elsewhere in that download?

The solution is to copy and paste, twice. Here is how you do it. First, highlight the first line of the link, copy it, and paste it into the address bar. Do not hit the enter key. You should see: http://mail.legacyusers.com/public/optin.aspx?id=b2d3aa81e56e4b8286de812155f Next highlight the second line of the URL, copy it and paste it at the end of the first one in your browser address bar. Make sure there is no space between the two addresses. So, where your first line ends in 155f, the full URL would appear as http://mail.legacyusers.com...155f62641ml=3domain=LegacyUsers.com (The ... indicates what is already there but I can't duplicate it here since the line would again be too long.) Now hit the enter key and you should get to the correct page.
