Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
Even with a number indicating your personal surety level on the relationship, the question remains where to put your reasoning notes, right? When relationship is unproven, I will enter the person(s) and enter my reasoning in Research Notes, which do appear on reports, attaching sources to that field. Excellent original question and discussion--thanks all! --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Harbaugh Hopkins Hughes Jones Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sullivan Williams From: Luis Salreta luisalr...@clix.pt To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sun, June 26, 2011 12:25:45 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level Sorry but i'm not receiving the mails so I can´t answer directly Thanks for ll the opinions.

I have lots of cases where the missing link is to the grandparents that only show in the marriage of some (or only one) of the grandsons. I still think it would be more neat with a relationship surety level. All the solutions are a bit klundge so I think the program needs to address this.

Thank you all for the various solutions proposed. I still believe that this needs a real program solution.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
I missed the original post because it was not plain text. But this topic interests me as an analyst/programmer so I thought I would add my $0.02... *** The OP makes a good point. If you look at the GENTECH Genealogical Data Model (GDM)... http://members.ngsgenealogy.org/GENTECH_Data_Model/Diagram_GENTECH_Data_Model_1.0.pdf ...the confidence/surety goes with the assertion, not the citation. Think about it. A citation (the link between an assertion and a source) is a statement like... Assertion A came from Source B Does it make sense to assign a surety level to that statement? Are you questioning the fact that assertion A came from source B? No. What you are questioning is the assertion itself. Therefore the surety/confidence belongs with said assertion. Luis' example is a little complicated because it actually consists of 3 assertions... A1: Jake is the son of John Salreta and Maryann (list sources) A2: Jake is the son of John Salreta and Marylu (other sources) A3: These Jakes are the same person (source is Luis - this is his conclusion - notice the GDM provides a field for Rationale) A1 and A2 may have very high surety levels. A3 may be somewhat lower as Luis is not 100% positive of his conclusion.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
OK let’s see if I can make myself clear Let's use a very simple military example: I have several source of intelligence that gives me some information. I collect the information about related subjects and build one conclusion. This conclusion is weighted based on the credibility of the sources and of the information. So I have 3 weights/probabilities - confidence in the source, confidence in the information given by the source and confidence in the conclusion I made. Assuming that the first two are mixed in the present source surety level what I need/want is a surety level for my conclusion (a measure for my “educated” guess!). And the conclusion is basically the definition of a relationship between 2 persons. Of course each user gives a different subjective value to the levels 1 to 5 (and it differs with time) but still and don't need to worry with levels 4 or 5 and levels 3 or less must be researched. And I agree that is always necessary an explanation of the “educated” guess. I don’t know in other countries what sources of information they have but in Portugal, except for the “blue blood” families, the main (and almost only) source are the Church records, so I can’t wait to obtain more information from other sources, to put people in the family tree.

From transcribing English parish records, I can readily attest that it is very easy for someone to mis-read a scrawled MaryAnn as MaryLu. Without seeing the originals, I would have to put a question mark against them referring to the same couple. However, having seen the originals, I would be better placed to raise or lower my level of confidence in the two couples being the same. -- 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] Relationships surety level
Luis, I follow the same as Michele. I belive that it is more important to list the individuals and their supposed relationships than to wait until those relationships have been proven to a gigher surety level.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
I put Maybe Not in the name field, it stands out like a bright light G But then I use a lot of ??? and then in my events I might say this looks right or this may be he. I like things I can spot from afar. I also have a tree that includes all the people I find in Cleveland Ohio from the Malmesbury area, I had so many with my family and found dozens more in the Necrology and Ohio death Certificates so a lot of ??? appear there too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
Sorry but i'm not receiving the mails so I can´t answer directly Thanks for ll the opinions. I use notes but they are all mixed in the same place. The example I gave is the simplest (and is an example not a real case). I have lots of cases where the missing "link" is to the grandparents that only show in the marriage of some (or only one) of the grandsons. I still think it would be more "neat" with a "relationship" surety level. All the solutions are a bit "klundge" so I think the program needs to address this. You could also imagine in the ancestor or descendant maps, the thickness of the relationship line dependent of the surety level...

RE: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
Luis - I have been following this conversation and find it interesting. While everyone has come up with different ways to deal with the situation - I do like the idea of being able to mark the surety level. I agree that the tree would look very nice. Maybe it is something that Legacy can work on?

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level
I don't believe in assigning numeric surety levels to anything! What I think is a 2 you may think is a 3, and what I think today is a 2, next month I may think is a 1. It's all too subjective. I discuss conflicting evidence, indirect evidence, etc. in Notes so it is clear to me, and hopefully to anyone else reading my work, what my conclusions are and how I reached them.
