Re: [LegacyUG] Global Sorting of Children and Spouses

Thanks for the response, Robert. I understood the implications of such a global sort, but was curious if it existed in the system. There are a few families where I know ( or think I know) the order of birth of the children even though I don't have all the dates. I can work around those and manually

Re: [LegacyUG] Writing text

I think it would depend on your audience. If it's a book for family, where the readers know that you wrote it, use the first person. If you're submitting a book or article for publication in a journal, use the third person. I often insert my comments in notes followed by something like: "--j

RE: [LegacyUG] print IGI Match

Hi Frank, Are you doing the "Search IGI for completed ordinances"? If so, after you have reviewed the matches and found the right person, with the Family tab foremost, at the bottom left of the screen you will see a radio button that says "Update Legacy Spouse," and with the Parents tab foremost y

[LegacyUG] print IGI Match

Is it possible to print the IGI Match or move the "Sealed to" info at the bottom of the IGI Match to the Legacy Match permanently? I've copied and pasted from the IGI to the Legacy but it doesn't stay when I try to go to the Family Group Sheet and print it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Legacy User Gr

Re: [LegacyUG] Global Sorting of Children and Spouses

I don't think so. You would think it would be a good idea, but think about it. What if a family has five children, for whom you know the birth date for just one? But you know the order they were born in, so you go to Children's Settings and manually "order" them up. Now if you did a Global C

Re: [LegacyUG] Another (sorry) Source Query

If I'm importing stuff from a Gedcom from my dad, or from my mom I have the import automatically source it as from a Gedcom (and from whom) - and it puts it in the Unspecified. That is pretty much my only use although I think for a few live people that I know I have put a general "Personal K

[LegacyUG] Global Sorting of Children and Spouses

I know how to sort children and spouses on an individual family basis, but is there currently a way to globally sort that would eliminate having to look at each family to perform the task? Thanks! -- Thad Evotee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.

Re: [LegacyUG] Writing text

I do not know which is more common. I myself use something like "Jennie Ault (Elizabeth Cunningham's mother) said her mother Elizabeth Morgan said..." so that other people reading it would know who was who. If my grandchildren or cousins are reading it, using just "mam:" or "grandma" could l

Hi Rob, I believe in transcribing what is there and showing any interpretation or addition in square brackets which I use sparingly. I prefer to be very clear what is interpretation even if it's just filling in the ditto. Dittos are often done in haste and aren't always correct. The only exce

RE: [LegacyUG] Census transcription into Legacy's Tex of Source?

Rob: No, I don't. Showing "do" would be meaningless in a report unless you could see the entry that it refers to, which could be several families above. I shortcut the entry a great deal. As a "semi-lumper" my master source would be, for example, "1851 Canada Census, Ontario." Then on the sour
