Dear All,
I'm new to posting requests for assistance, I've subscribed to the
LegacyUserGroup for the past year And many thanks to you all who have
provided assistance and valuable insights... but I have a question however,
that I have not seen directly referred to, in the past.
It is the
I would hazard a guess that this is outside the scope of genealogical
research and recording such as we're accustomed to in tracing census
records, birth and death dates, obits, etc. I think you'd be looking
into research regarding genetic predisposition to various diseases which
may vary
Hi Paul,
I'd add an event/fact for those who definitely had the disease and
for those who given what you know of them and the symptoms, may have had it.
You then need a descendant chart and a knowledge of the genetics
explained on wikipedia to see if you can see a pattern.
Currently you

Hi
I'm having trouble understanding how I should back up my Legacy Data File.
I save it in
Backup C:\Legacy/Data/WendyEReid.FDB as wendyereid.zip
If it tends to run in the male lines only, I think some of the new
Legacy-Chart DNA charts will at least make it easier to figure out who might
have the gene...
I know there are programs out there as well that are specific for genetic
tracking of diseases they are similar to genealogy
This is an interesting thread. After doing a lot family genealogy we have
found two families (who didn't know the other existed) where the girls are born
deaf or very hard of hearing but the males hear. Of course, we don't know if
this is or is not genetically based.
I think an offshoot of

Backing up on the same computer where you do your work is prudent and can be
helpful esp when importing in case something goes wrong. However, it is also
important to have a backup somewhere else in case your whole computer goes
kerflooey (technical term for lost everything for any reason). I
I've been lazy entering my dates and never gave it a second thought since
Legacy formats them so beautifully for me. However, I realize now the
error of my ways since I exported to a CSV file and my dates are a mess --
an accurate mess, but a mess.
Since the dates were exported in the
If what I think is happening is, the problem is in Excel, assuming that is
what you are using, and not legacy. Your spreadsheet date format will not
accept dates before 1900 and depending on spreadsheet format for dates, will
do funny things with them. If you can be more specific with the
This is my experience: All dates entered in the Individual information
screen will be a consistent format which you can choose under
Customize/Dates. If you haven't chosen anything it will be doing
something anyway by default. You can change the format on all of them

Kris,
Some spreadsheet programs do not recognize dates before 1900 as real
dates, so they do not match the format of the more modern dates.
Someone once gave me a program that loads with Excel, so that it
recognizes all dates. I forget if it was through Legacy, but it may
have been, so might be in
This issue came up a while ago. Visit

Getting back into Legacy after having been away for a while. I am
someone that has limited time to spend on genealogy. I have found
Ancestry.com a good source for finding Census and other records and

Sorry to reply to my own note. I just uploaded my exported Legacy file
to Ancestry to complete the round trip. The census records that I had
Attached in Ancestry were no longer attached when the data was

very interested
Or use Calc which is the OpenOffice spreadsheet. It has no problem with dates.

Rob,
It has been several months since I have worked with Ancestry.com and my
Legacy database. At that time when you viewed the census image on the
Ancestry.com Web Site you could save a copy to your own computer. That way
you could have the Ancestry source information as well as an image of the
Kate,
Thanks for the reply... I do indeed save off the images, I would think
most people would since you never know how long you will keep paying
for the service.
I think what I am looking for is a two way flow of information between
Legacy and Ancestry, and it just doesn't exist. And I am
Thank you to everyone who responded, but once again, I apparently was not
clear.
I have Legacy set to display dates as 29 Nov 1847. I can enter
11/29/1847 and it will format the date as per my settings, i.e., 29 Nov
1847. However, the date is apparently stored as 11/29/1847in Access
This CSV file you're talking about: Is it generated by Legacy and
therefore based on your date settings there? I don't think it's
possible to get a csv output in some other format than what Legacy is
set for. So I'm trying to imagine what else is going on there. Ive
tried entering dates in
Yes -- the CSV file was generated by Legacy. Here are a few of lines from
it:

Adams, Marie [199] 11/11/1806 05/11/1884

In EXCEL (and I assume OOffice) - you should be able to pick a column
- and SET CELL FORMAT. I have done it in the past.. at least I think
I have.
