So, create the father without any forenames, just the surname. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] Proper placement of place names
MessageI do not put “of” in the birth field (many people do). The reason I don’t is that if I found the person in a particular place and time (let’s say a census record) that location will be recorded. I can see that a glance everywhere a person has been. I don’t need to use “of” If I figure out where he was born then I will record it. michele 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Locations
You should record the location as it was at the time of the event unless you keep your research completely to yourself and never share it with anyone. If you share the info in any way, shape or form, you really should conform to how everyone else does it or it will only cause confusion :) :) :) Michele 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] the value of the to-do list
Yes! The clipboard works for the to-do list. Let’s say I need 10 marriage licenses from the Marion County, MS courthouse. Since the to-do will be attached to specific people, the info within the to-do can be generic wording (“obtain marriage license) and then you can attach it each person. Yes, you can make separate to-dos for each online site you want to use. If you are looking for something specific, you can still use the clipboard and then just change the locality/repository. It will save you time. It may seem like a lot of work but when you look at this person again in 6 months you won’t remember what you have checked and what you haven’t. You can filter by CLOSED to-dos and you will have a list of everything you have already done. michele From: aparsons Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 7:09 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] the value of the to-do list Michele, Thanks for posting the examples.

Re: [LegacyUG] Allegation Bond
What I have learned to do is find the exact format in the Evidence Explained book, then try a couple of templates to see which one matches. Then I make a note in the front of the book so I know for the next time. I learned to do this because while working on my portfolio for the BCG, I found many of my sources were not formatted correctly so instead of just copying and pasting them, I had to hand type them which was a lot of work. michele 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).

I have several sources that would be better if I had used a different template but after you have already used that source many times it just isn’t worth the effort to try and fix it.

I am still not receiving the messages from the the New Family Search Legacy list! I have subscribed, unsubscribed and resubscribed several times. The manager of the list hand unsubscribed me and resubscribed me. My ISP says nothing on their end is holding things up. The posts are not going into my spam/junk folder. I can post to the list and everyone (but me) can see the posts. It makes no sense because I have no problems with the main Legacy list at all. Last resort – I am going to use my Yahoo account. I hate to do that because I only check it every couple of weeks but I guess I will need to check it every day now. I have a lot of questions.

Then I will actually get verification of those facts through records. If I find it true, I will list Kathy as a bona fide source (Not Facebook). If not true, I leave the information Kathy said about my ancestor in notes. It might prove useful to refer to later, but I won't change anything.” I couldn’t have said it better myself, Robert!

[LegacyUG] I don't know if this is off topic or not
I now have access to the new FamilySearch. I have watched both of Geoff’s webinars on this but I have a question. There is a fact that is incorrect and I have the sources to back up my claim. When I click on the contributor button the only contributor is FamilySearch Data Administrator and it will not let me send a email. How can I get this corrected?

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
Bernhard, I am a little confused. Are you putting eery ADDRESS in as a separate location? 42 Main Street, Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, USA 15 Elm Street, Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, USA 84 Oak Street, Purvis, Lamar, Mississippi, USA Why not just put the exact address, if you have one, under a residence event or if it is tied to a census, within the census event notes? For example, if I get an exact address from a WWII draft card I just write the address within that event notes. What is the purpose of geo locating 50 exact addresses in Los Angeles? For research purposes, you only need to know that they lived in Los Angeles. I think this just clutters up your master locations. michele -Original Message- From: Bernhard Scholz Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 8:10 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Locations Jerry, why not include the county name in the location as in your case. The more data included in the Master Locations makes it easier to combine. Why add data to a notes field the global locations, which have to be edited later manualy. Perhaps later on hundreds. I agree that we have a problem. At the moment we only have eighter the Master List Location or the Address Window. In my opinion that's that's the problem. At the moment we have to add for every exact event the global location address as a seperate Master List Location. This would mean at the moment in my case for the same city over 10 Master List Locations. In my case I have one Master List Location and 10 Address Locations. To make it perhaps easier to understand look at it this way. An example, perhaps not the best ;-), but due to the size of the city and it's multinationl status. A family lives in eg. L.A., Cal., ,USA for over fifty years. They have eg. 5 children, two nationalities, 10 grandchildren, 20 grandchildren and XX greatgrandchildren. This means perhaps hundreds of Master List loccations. Instead we could have one Master location, L.A., and hundreds of Address Locations. Using the suggested we could reduce the size of the Family File. As the result depends on the changes on the side of Legacy and in the way the Users work it's difficult to say something about the result. Perhaps something to think about.

Afterall, as someone said recently, the latitude and longitude does not change and we like to use the mapping system and tie a particular location into every person referenced for that spot on the map. So, even though I generally always like to include the COUNTY -- in your example, I would not put the county in the location. I would leave the COUNTY place marker empty between commas, as follows: Woodstock, , Connecticut, USA and have the appropriate note attached to that location to explain when it was a part of Windham County and when it was a part of Suffolk County. That is just a personal preference to keep from having hundreds or quite literally even thousands of extra locations in the database (ex: Upper Canada, Canada West, British America, Massachusetts Bay Colony - you could go on and on and create even thousands of extra places, if you take that to the extreme). So, I'm not saying you are wrong in listing such locations separately, just my reason for doing otherwise.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
Alan, That is interesting to know. I am not LDS so I don't have access to the New Family Search yet. I use the standard 4 place markers for US locations but I also have a lot of foreign locations as well. For Germany I use 3, for Poland I use 4. I keep it standard within each country. I still say consistency is the most important. It makes your work look more professional. It also makes it easier to share info back and forth. Legacy is set up for 4 place markers which is the US standard. The geo locations and searches rely on the 4 place markers. If everyone out there is doing something completely different then it just muddies everything up. NOTE: It isn't just locations! It is the same thing with names and with dates! Some people put women under their MARRIED name which is not the standard. Some people do their dates backwards and use only numbers which really messes other people up. Locations are no different. Another issue with locations is what we recently talked about, recording the location as it was at the time the event occurred. There are people that don't do that.

How would you record that in Legacy? I am not LDS but am a volunteer for New Family Search. Like Legacy, they allow you to ignore the 4 field convention when you enter a location that does not conform by choosing the option None of the Above when it tries to make a guess at the location (ususally by dropping the real value - in the above example it tries to drop 8 Anatola Road). I need this detail passed through into Charts as well as in reports. My wife, in charts, likes to include Occupation+Location and Residencial locations tied to Censuses, Christenings and marriages (achieved using other genealogical software).

Ron, You said... The problem I have with your format is that to find everyone who lived in Broad Street, one would have to do a Detailed Search, whereas I only have to set the Master Location List to read from left to right and I can find them all grouped together. I guess part of the problem is that almost 100% of my research is in the very rural areas of the deep south (MS, LA, AL, GA, NC, SC). I honestly don't have many addresses for people. They were rarely used on the census records. Things like draft cards give rural routes, like Route 6, Hattiesburg (they usually didn't bother to say which box number. Even if they did, it would be virtually impossible to know where Route 6, Box 14 was. There are no records for that sort of thing and those routes are long gone. Also, Hattiesburg is in Forrest Co and Route 6 is in Lamar Co which of course makes no sense.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations
That is correct. I don't think they do this up north. Route 6 is really Rural Route 6 or RR6 which is a MAIL route not a street name. There are still places that have rural routes. My old address in FL was Route 6, Box 4 Plant City, FL.

The post office probably divided up the area into several routes with each route assigned a mail carrier. The mail carrier for each route knew the names in each household and delivered mail accordingly. It probably has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the road or highway.

I have tons of German vital records. I personally don't translate anything because I am fluent in German.If I were to make an English transcription, I would do it under the source screens. There is a place for this there. On the source screen you have 5 tabs Source info - this is where you type in your source identifiers Text/Comments - this is where you would put your transcription [I would do it in German and English, not just English] Multimedia - this is where you attach a pdf or jpg of the document itself Override - this is if you want your output (footnotes, endnotes) formatted differently than what Legacy automatically does Also, if you are not doing the translating yourself, I would document WHO translated it for you.

[LegacyUG] potential problems question
I run the potential problems regularly because I am constantly working on my file. I have the criteria set and I never change what is there. When I run a potential problems sometimes people will pop up that I haven’t worked on in a long time. For example, Today Nancy Irby pops up because “death date after age 100.” She didn’t pop up last week, or the week before, or the week before or ever (or I would have fixed it or marked it as no problem). I looked at Nancy and the last edited date is 2 years ago. Why on earth is she popping up now? She was legitimately 104 years old when she died so it isn’t a problem and I have now marked it as such. Another one popped up today. Anna Lee Maddox for “event date after death date.” She has never popped up before. I haven’t worked with her since Oct. I look and sure enough I made a mistake. She died 09 Mar 1942 but I accidently put her cemetery/burial date as Feb 1944 (brain fart?) Why didn’t it pick this up before? This happens every so often. Not all the time but once in a while.

Another one popped up today. Anna Lee Maddox for “event date after death date.†She has never popped up before. I haven’t worked with her since Oct. I look and sure enough I made a mistake. She died 09 Mar 1942 but I accidently put her cemetery/burial date as Feb 1944 (brain fart?) Why didn’t it pick this up before? This happens every so often. Not all the time but once in a while. It isn’t a real big deal, I just fix it but it is puzzling.

[LegacyUG] Known bug
I pointed out several months ago that the potential problems will find initials that don’t have a space after the periods (J.S. Smith vs. J. S. Smith) but if the name is in the AKA field, the potential problems will not see this. It was confirmed as a bug by the Legacy people. I was wondering when this was going to be fixed? I am all about consistent data entry :) michele 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources (email, repository)
I don’t use the source or the phrase “personal knowledge” unless the person actually witnessed the event. If great Aunt Marge tell me the dates of birth of her children, that would be personal knowledge. If Great Aunt Marge tells me her father’s date of birth I would simply source that as an interview.

Re: [LegacyUG] Basic Legacy Family Tree Question(s)
You SHOULD start with yourself when entering information into a new genealogy database program even if you are a long time researcher because that is the best way to catch errors that you didn't notice before and as you go through your file in a logical manner, you might see some connections you didn't realize and break down some brick walls. One of the best things I ever did was switch from FTM to Legacy not only because Legacy is better but because it forced me to revisit all of my data as I was trying to clean things up to Legacy's standards. The potential problems, county verifier and find duplicates is wonderful as well as standardizing the locations. It took FOREVER to go through my entire file but it was so worth it. I found all kinds of errors (most of them just stupid stuff) but I also saw things I hadn't noticed before that helped my research. michele 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] Mary Hill Webinar
This used to be my filing system but I have A LOT of documents that are on people that are not in my direct line. This system works better for those researchers that stick pretty close to their direct lines only. If you do cluster genealogy to try and figure out who everyone is in a specific area this won't work for you. The other problem you will have is that you are supposed to print a pedigree chart for each line as well as family group sheets for every couple/file. As you do research and make changes/additions, you are constantly reprinting these. I use a completely different system now. HOWEVER, I do like the 4 color option in Legacy which goes along with this system and I like printing out my charts in 4 color. It does help you to keep your lines straight and it makes your charts look cool :) :) Michele 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] CENSUS: Event or Source ?
I too record the census as an event because it is something that took place at a specific time and a specific place. I also use the census as a SOURCE for the specific information on the record (name, date of birth, place of birth, relationship to others in the family group) but I do not record things like occupation or residence separately because that would be redundant. michele 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).

Hi there. Where would those dates show up, Michele?

But going to the records does not show these dates anywhere. Very weird. Another facet to this problem (and why I started to do these searches) is that there are some dates that do show up, such as 27 August 2010, etc., but they are attached to EVENTS that are completely blank. So, I simply delete them, but I'm not sure how I can globally delete them because there is no event name. Everything is blank except the dates. I do not have the luxury of starting anything over from my cousin's gedcom, etc., because I've already done major work on this file and it does not appear to be corrupt and the file I'm working on is well over 10,000 individuals. The information is good, other than this weird dating thing that I cannot explain. Has anyone ever experienced anything that resembles this at all?

[LegacyUG] I know there must be an easy way to do this
I want to print out a three generation descendant report that only includes the direct line ancestor for the 2nd and 3rd generations. I am working on my Compiled Genealogy for the Board of Certified Genealogists. I cannot use the Legacy generated report. The report has to be just so and I will not be able to manipulate Legacy to print out exactly in the right format. I will be hand typing it in Word. HOWEVER, I CAN use the Legacy report as an outline for me to follow. The problem is, I can’t seem to figure out how to make it do a 3 generation descendant report that only carries the direct line descendant to the next generation. I do not want to follow all of the descendant lines. michele 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] UnSourced Internet Trees
What you say is true. I too did the same thing when I first started. I am only saying that you should not add unsourced material to your file so I think we agree on that! (You said, I am critical to those that utilize information located from any source without verifying it for themselves.) The people that have unsourced info on Ancestry could have the best of intentions but that doesn't mean you should just add that info to your file without checking it out first. The people on the Legacy list have gone out of their way to join the list in order to learn how to do things the right way so I was pointing out the right way :) :) :) Legacy has many built in tools to make this easier. They also have a lot of great resources to get the most out of the program and to learn the basic standards of recording genealogy research (webinars, videos, this list etc.). I was just advising the poster to not add unsourced info from Ancestry to their file if they want to do quality research. If they don't care about quality and credibility, then they can just copy away!

Thus, they start collecting information. It is only after they are bitten by the genealogy bug hard enough to take a course or join a list similar to LUG; do they learn the value of proper sourcing. Some of my early sources consists of a name and invalid/out dated email address. It was only after I became serious about the hobby did my source quality improve. Even today, I doubt that many of my sources meet the standards set by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Please keep in mind that this is a hobby for most of us which we do for our own enjoyment and not to meet requirements set by others. I am not critical of those who post the information.

It worked! I tagged 3 generations and exported. The only thing that it had to do was add the children of the one 3rd generation ancestor I am interested in. if I had added a 4th generation, it would have added the children of all of his siblings too so I didn't do that.

What I'm doing is to put in the search function to SEARCH and REPLACE (without actually doing the replace) for EVENT-DATES where the date contains 2010 anywhere in the field. I get quite a large number of hits such as 8 September 2010, but none of the records has those dates in the record anywhere I can physically see. Weird thing I would like to get to the bottom of.

Welcome, Jill :) I did the same thing as you, I switched from FTM to Legacy (many years ago now) and I spent a lot of time getting my data formatted in a more professional way. Wait until you run the potential problems report! OVERWHELMING is the word :) Also, do the county verifier. FTM does not (or at least did not when I had it) tell you when you have entered a county name that didn’t exist at the time of the event. You will like Legacy so much better :) michele From: Jill Groce Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2011 1:22 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Switching from FTM to Legacy Hello everybody, I'm happy to meet you all. I'm switching my genealogy research from Family Tree Maker to Legacy 7.5 after 15 years of work, starting with my father's file of 646 people. About 50 are ancillary and might be omitted, so say 600. My mother's file is smaller and will be done later. I loaded the FTM GEDCOM into Legacy. I'm working on a methodical way to go through all my research and bring it up to a professional level, starting with the citations. I collected sources from the beginning, so that helps. I've edited footnotes and bibliographies for years, even before computers, so I'm comfortable with them. I'm stumbling over the process of working with people and families in Legacy; data entry is a challenge. I'm on a painful learning curve with everything I do online, having just started on Win 7, so I'll have to take it easy as I get used to Legacy. I love SourceWriter and the Clipboard. Hundreds of sources, notes, and footnotes came over in the GEDCOM, I'm choosing what to keep, what to delete, and when to start over; editing master sources and details; learning to override without losing consistency. I have a tendency toward miscellany, so I started by choosing a family at random, correcting and completing their citations, then choosing a second one and doing the same. When I discover that information needs more work, I enter a task: read handwritten page and type, study source for more data, verify or delete shaky information, reconcile discrepancies, whatever. It all has to be done and I'm trying to stay on track and stick to the references. My research has varied in quality, of course. I was diagnosed with ADD about six years in. The task is monumental, but it's necessary. I work as a copyeditor at home part-time. There will be days, even weeks, when nothing gets done, but I'd like to journal (and maybe blog) about how it's going—briefly. I don't need another task on top of The Project. I'll have questions as I go, but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Ideas, advice and support will be welcome. Thank you for any assistance you might give me.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to enter census data into my Legacy records.
Roger, I want to warn you about Ancestry.com. It is a WONDERFUL resource for DOCUMENTS. It is a terrible resource when you are relying on someone else's family trees as the basis of your research. You said it was easy to find 2200+ ancestors. I would guess that is because you were copying what other people had in their family trees. The problem with the family trees on Ancestry is that 99.9% of the information on there is UNSOURCED. You need a source for EVERY fact in your file. Anything that doesn't have a source is pretty much worthless and fiction. That is one of the wonderful things about Legacy, there is system in place to easily record your sources in a consistent way. I can't tell you how many times I have emailed or messaged someone on Ancestry saying, Where did you get that birthdate? I have been looking for that for years! and the answer I will get back is either, I just copied it off of someone else's tree, or simply, I don't know. That information is WORTHLESS! As a genealogy columnist and instructor, this is my #1 pet peeve. I have seen people download complete GEDCOMS (unsourced) from the internet and just integrate it into their file, WORTHLESS! That isn't research. Not only that but chances are pretty good that it will be full of errors because the person you got it from didn't bother to research anything either. Now back to your original question... If I were you, I would start my database off FRESH in Legacy, one person at a time. Start with yourself and then work backward ONE GENERATION AT A TIME adding your sources as you go. As far as the census records go, it is VERY easy to attach a census record to your Legacy file. All you have to do is save it at a pdf to your hard drive and then attach it to your census event or to your source (or to both as Geoff does). No, all of the census records you have attached to your Legacy account will not transfer over with one click but in my opinion, that is a good thing. You need to go back and review each person one at a time. If you do this I will guarantee you will see some things that you didn't notice before.

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing Sources
Joan, You said, Moving next to marriage certificates, there is no 'Marriage' under 'Events'. Ergo, I want to create an 'Event' called 'Marriage' with a Master Source 'marriage certificates' and then list the details of individual marriage certificates along with the details for a given individual (again, using a template for consistency). However, I can't see how to edit 'Events' to include 'Marriage'. I don't want 'Marriage to be 'Unspecified' - that seems inappropriate. Further, I would like the two individuals who are married to share the same 'Source detail' There is an easier way to do this. The marriage is already listed as an event of sorts. You don't have to add an event to the events list. To the right of the marriage (where the date/place are recorded) you will see a marriage sources button, a marriage events button (though I don't use that), an marriage notes button and a picture gallery button. All of these pertain to the marriage specifically. You can transcribe the entire marriage record here, you can scan and attach the original document, you can record anything you want here that pertains to the marriage itself. I would keep the marriage info OUT of the main events tab. There is no reason to tangle them up. If I were to use the marriage events icon, I might attach a newspaper announcement of the engagement, or the wedding announcement. You can do whatever you want.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy file organization
No, not a fee, Leon. Here is how it is going to work... There WILL be some databases that will be restricted. To earn access you have to index at least 900 records per quarter via the FamilySearch Indexing. Each person you index can earn you 1, 3, or 5 points depending on how difficult the record is. I am currently indexing approx 500-800 points per month (and I am not even working hard) so I will have no problem gaining access to these databases. The LDS has not started the point system yet and we do not know when they will. The family tree portion of FamilySearch is not available to the general public yet, only to the LDS and to selected LDS beta testers. If you watch Geoff's Webinar on cleaning up your Legacy file prior to FamilySearch launching, you will learn a lot. It is very much like the old Ancestral File (not the IGI!) but in a newer, easier to use format. However, it will have a lot of the same problems as the Ancestral File as Geoff points out. He did say that you will be able to fix errors in a round about way (you can ask the contributor to fix the error, you can delete sections, you can choice which information is the correct info but be aware that other people behind you can do the same thing).

A real let down by Legacy and LDS church. I have found that most of the IGI are based on the membership of the church submitting their family data that was approved by the local Ward Clerk.. My father was this person for while. They were just a rubber stamp, as a GOOD Mormon would not provide false information.

Re: [LegacyUG] a very strange thing!
I did do a restart. I did get it fixed and I still can’t understand what was wrong. Here is how I fixed it. I copied the PICTURE folder onto a flash drive. I had no problems opening up the files on the flash drive at all even though I still couldn’t open them on the hard drive. It just keeps shutting down. So, I deleted the PICTURE file from Legacy completely. Then I copied and pasted the PICTURE file from the flash drive into Legacy and now it is working just fine. I can’t understand why, if the file was corrupted in some way, it would allow me to copy the folder/files to a flash drive and they work fine.

I think the extent to which one goes paperless is (or should be) a function of how your brain works, the extent to which you have published your work, and the extent to which you have arranged for (and trust) your potential survivors to save your work. (IMO, most people will have to think harder about pitching your paper files and binders than they will about ignoring or throwing away your computer). While I no longer print everything, I certainly continue to maintain paper files. I particularly need to have paper copies of documents to analyze complex problems of identity, resolve situations of conflicting evidence, and identify potentially useful indirect evidence. Your brain may work differently, but I would suspect that unless you are under 30 years old or have a highly visual or technical way of thinking, you may miss a lot of clues or errors if you never print out and compare relevant documents side-by-side. I see things missing or incorrect on printed family group sheets, for example, that I never notice onscreen. As for filing, a simple alphabetical system works just fine for me!

Re: [LegacyUG] Research Logs
That is the system that I used to use, and I agree, it does work well with
Legacy since you can color code your ancestors :) In theory I liked it but
honestly, the files became cumbersome. For your direct ancestors you would
have some files with nothing in there but a family group sheet. The one
thing that I DID like about it, and I still use, are the location files. I
have a whole file drawer with location files where I keep maps, cemetery
surveys, research guidance booklets from the FHL, and any other general
info. There are labeled like this
USA - GEORGIA - LINCOLN CO
USA - GEORGIA - MCDUFFIE CO
USA - GEORGIA - RICHMOND CO
USA - MISSISSIPPI - FORREST CO
USA - MISSISSIPPI - LAMAR CO
Also, with Mary Hill's system and with Karen Clifford's system, they want
you to print out family group sheets and pedigree charts. I don't like that
because I work in Legacy every day and I am constantly adding and
updatingThose family groups sheets and pedigree charts would need constant
updating taking away valuable time and money for printing! I can easily
look up pedigrees and family group sheets in Legacy in an instant. I much
rather just let Legacy handle that part :)
Many documents I no longer print (the biggest example are census records).
I can just turn them into pdfs and attach them in Legacy. The only paper
documents I have any more are documents that I had to request or go get from
a courthouse. I think both of the above systems were designed (and worked
well) for when people had many more documents than they do now. Besides
online census records, there are so many documents available online as
digital images that you can jpg or pdf that you no longer have to order hard
copies from archives and courthouse.Now with FamilySearch cranking out
digital images daily, I foresee even less of a need for such
complex/comprehensive filing systems.

I would have to have dividers for 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, all the
way up to
6500 just to file this document.

Hi everyone,
Maybe this might be a good subject for a future Webinar. 'How
Legacy's
To-Do list, Research Log and Calendar will help you to keep track
of your
genealogical research'
This would be great follow on to the forthcoming Karen Clifford
Webinar
'Organising for Success'.
Just an idea!
Regards,
Ken

Connie,
As part of section 3, Document Work, submit a research plan (one
page or
less) describing the first steps for continuing research to
resolve the
problem defined in 3_c. {Standard 5}. You should
1) base the plan on clues found within the document and on sound
research
methods, standard genealogical sources, and material specific to
the area,
time period, and subject of this records; and
2) identify fully any publications, personnel, repositories, or
records
(original, in print, or electronic) you would normal consult
Re: [LegacyUG] Filing Systems Obsolete?
I agree with you completely.The only paper I am keeping are copies of documents that I have received in the mail or I went to a courthouse to get (though I try to take digital pictures of courthouse documents) michele -Original Message- From: Kirsten Bowman Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 6:19 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Filing Systems Obsolete? I used to print a great deal and file it all in 3-ring binders. After switching to Legacy some years back I found myself printing less and less. Now I rarely print anything at all. There are many reasons for going paperless, but I think a major factor in the change has been Legacy itself. My old software was clunky to navigate and had far fewer features. I believe that anyone who learns to use Legacy to its fullest potential can see a way to do without most of that paper. And if you have your data on a portable device you don't need to haul binders along on research trips either. Filing is a pain, and the binders, dividers, and ink get expensive.. Much better to do with less.

Re: [LegacyUG] Research Logs
The only problem I have with the Legacy Research log is that it is too big and clunky. I have to make a research log for the BCG (Board for the Certification of Genealogists) and it can only be one page. I have to be able to get about 10 entries on there. I have been looking for a research log in Microsoft Word format but all I can find are pdfs which I can't type in. michele -Original Message- From: Ken Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2011 3:47 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Research Logs Hi Sherry, David Tim, Tim's question is one that's dear to my heart. What software is around nowadays that has the ability to note down your genealogical research in a format similar to the standard paper note keeping form such as the often referred to 'Research Record Sheet' or 'Correspondence Record Sheet'? At this time I have stumbled upon an old program titled 'Bygones' by Steve Adair which was developed during the 1990s. Unfortunately, the last time it was updated was in 1999. The software is available at http://www.bygonessoftware.com/ It seems quite reasonable but we are talking about software programming and technology that is now over twelve years old. I'm sure that there must be more recent genealogical research software around that enables us to enter research data and print out our research results in the accepted Research Correspondence Record Sheets. As often is the case these days, I can type faster that I can write/print - and I will admit that it is much neater as well. What's more, when you are using the internet for research it’s a bonus just to be able to copy the information and place it in a Genealogical Research program. Appreciate any recommendations from yourselves or other members on the LUG.
