Do you have any picture of the people in the "other tree" - the ones that
you want to make stand out?  IF NOT, you could create an image which is
simply a rectangle of a certain colour or a large cross or some other symbol
and attach that to each individual, so it shows as their portrait picture in
Family View.

Jenny,

Interesting concept and perhaps the best alternative I've heard this year!
Thanks, that may be the only answer that may work...

Re: [LegacyUG] Exporting to Gedcom with Hashtag information - Identifying specific individuals

2020-05-13 Thread Larry Lachance 
It appears that Cathy is pointing me towards what I want and TNG will accept 
custom tags as well.  Yes, a separate tree would seem the likely solution BUT, 
the surname is the same as my family focus, just not from the same individual.  
However, in multiple instances the families ARE actually related due to 
marriages so I want them as part of the same tree, just want to have an 
identifier that says the surname is not descended from the same original 
couple.  

All said, I think I've got it.  I only wish there were a more blatant way to 
make that identification on the LFT individual screen.  But, since the current 
tag color can be changed, it works... 

Thanks for the input

Larry,

If they are not related, then you would not stumble upon them while 
traversing your main tree in Legacy, except when searching or using master 
lists. If your focus is your TNG site, then it seems to me that using 
multiple trees in TNG would be ideal - and separate Legacy files.

I have 4 TNG sites, one per grandparent. But I only have one main Legacy 
file, plus small files for separate trees much like yours. For example, 
members of my Ward line have Y-DNA matches with descendants of another Ward 
line. We do not know who the common ancestor is. I created a separate Legacy 
file to model that other line. On TNG, my Ward site has two trees, one from 
an export of just the Ward line from my main Legacy file, and the other from 
that separate file. On the TNG site, each Individual information page 
clearly shows which tree that person is in. Same with search results.

Larry,

No you can't get the background to change colour etc.
You can include your hashtag as one of your 5 fields that display on
Family View.

You can use the Legacy style gedcom with TNG. In fact I think it's
recommended that you do. Hashtags can be included in it and displayed on
TNG. Sorry I don't do it myself but know that it is done. When you
choose the Legacy style and then see the the list of tags exported under
the Customise button, you'll see it includes Hashtag.

I am looking for suggestions/best way to handle – this is a combination 
question that involves Legacy Family Tree and TNG The Next Generation of 
Genealogy Sitebuilding.


For more than 20 years everything with my tree has been great but, as in 
life, “stuff happens”!


I want to add a large group of individuals to my Legacy database who share 
the same surname BUT are not descended from the “original immigrant” and 
in fact, they are not actually related as they are descended from a 
completely different surname.  Actually this group “should be” a separate 
family tree but that’s not what I want to do because I want them IN my 
tree because of the common surname today.


What I want is a way to “tag” or “hashtag” or place a marker or color on 
the “family view”  for anyone related to this particular name such that it 
is immediately clear that the individual is of another family group.  I 
suspect this can be accomplished by using the tag or hashtag feature 
without issue but I’d prefer a change in color, or a big exclamation point 
on the screen to tell me “this individual is from the OTHER family”  which 
makes for quick ID purposes.  I know I can change the colors of the “tag” 
based on which tag I’m using but I’d like a blatantly obvious change like 
changing the background color of the Name field in the Family View based 
on the tag or hashtag used???  Is this even possible?


Something like the above would remedy my Legacy question but...

…then there is the hard part (that’s because I’m not sure how to do it or 
even it’s possible) – I want to be able to export the file to a standard 
GEDCOM 5.5.1 file AND have those individuals I’ve identified somehow 
marked such that when I “publish” the GEDCOM to my TNG – The Next 
Generation  online database, those I have tagged are separately 
identified.  Is it possible that using a custom event, such as already 
exists like _TAG Record Tag 1, would work?


I will also post this query to the forum related to the other database for 
input.
