I personally think that one function of citing a birth place is to suggest 
where one might find birth records. Thus, I prefer to cite where the actual 
birth took place, rather than where the family lived at the time, using the 
latter only when I don't know the former. Peace, Loren Johns

Re: [LegacyUG] LUG vs FB vs on line forums

2016-04-12 Thread Curt Barnes
Ward,

 

Thanks for the info. The amount of mail showing up is amazing and I will figure 
w away to deal with it. Does this method of users group not impact Internet 
Provider traffic?

 

I noticed questions on another topic that applied to me. Kid born in one place 
and then taken to another. My dad was in the NAVY, we traveled a lot. While 
stationed in Virginia so he could work in Washington DC I was born at Bethesda 
Naval Hospital in Maryland and taken “home” to Virginia days later. When I 
enter the birth event I used the Virginia as location and the hospital as the 
address of the event.

 

Lots of questions to ask. I guess I’ll just make a master list and toss a few 
out from time to time.

 

Thanks in advance

Curt

Curt,

 

The mailing list does have some of the aspects of an online forum, if you use 
the list archive. There is a search function for the archived e-mails, so you 
can look for topics that have previously been asked and answered. Of course, 
ask again here if the search results do not quite hit the mark.

 

The volume of e-mail is best managed by using your mail client to automatically 
filter them into a separate folder.

 

The Facebook group appears to be helping the many newcomers a lot, due to the 
ability to use pictures. I find the mail list easier for quickly browsing 
through the e-mails/postings. First of all, the FB users seem to be unwilling 
to start each new post with a subject/topic line. The mail list has subject 
lines. Sometimes these are not used correctly (hijacked threads, non-specific 
subjects), but often they are. Secondly, on FB the latest additions to a topic 
are buried in the comments.

Michelle,

 

I’m new to The Legacy User Group but have been using Legacy for about 4-5 
years. 

 

I’m not quite sure how this works. Are there instructions for formatting 
addresses ( I noticed the “on behalf of” tag) and how the group works or 
functions. As soon as I signed up I started getting all kinds user group email. 
Is this the norm. Am I doing something wrong? I was originally looking for an 
on line forum ( many software companies have them) so I would not swamp the 
legacy folks with question that probably have already been answered.

 

I don’t use and have avoided FaceBook as a matter of habit. Don’t use a smart 
phone( someday maybe) so don’t know if Facebook Legacy User group can be 
accessed any other way or if it would justify doing so. I’m open to any 
suggestions. I have many questions I know are already asked and answered. But 
where and how is the best way to ask for myself?

 

Thanks in advance.
