Re: [LegacyUG] Adding text details to a source/citation

Hi Julie There are two options to place text quoted from a source: 1Source = Master Source - this will be attached to all applications you make of the Master Source (selected from the Master Source list). 2Detail = Source Detail - this will be attached to the specific application (the part

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding text details to a source/citation

In Details Field I add a specific reference, such as page number, film reel number, title of book, details of sender of email etc. In the Text/Comments field I add the text of the source if required. I don't always add the text because sometimes it is too long - or perhaps add it but untick th

[LegacyUG] Adding text details to a source/citation

Every time I add a source, I am always tripped up whether to put details of the document in the source text field or the details text field. Once the difference between the two and how do you use them? Julia Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived

Re: [LegacyUG] How to enter questionable date of death

Greg, I use "bef 1 Jan 1820" but then in the Notes section to the right, I add an explanation as to why I believe the DoD is before this date and what my reasoning is for using this date. And, of course, I do add a source citation. If I don't look at this file for several months, all the info

Thanks for the warning, I have not used that feature - yet. I know I don't even begin to use all the features of Legacy and I will keep this in mind for when I get more adventurous. Eliz On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 6:50 PM, Brian/Support wrote: > Just a word of warning. Legacy will not recognize a

Re: [LegacyUG] How to enter questionable date of death

Just a word of warning. Legacy will not recognize a date with maybe before or after the real date so if you have date checking turned on you will be warned that this is a "bad" date. It will still be accepted, Legacy is very flexible and will accept almost anything in a date field, but there may be

I use maybe either before or after the date, it shows clearly, to me, that it is iffy. Eliz On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Greg Matthews wrote: > I just noticed that you can put a ? after a date of death for an > individual.  I found an entry in an estate return book with a specific date, > 1

[LegacyUG] How to enter questionable date of death

I just noticed that you can put a ? after a date of death for an individual. I found an entry in an estate return book with a specific date, 1 Jan 1820 for example, for an individual who has the same name as many men in this line from the early 1800s for whom I do not have exact dates of death. I

good point; I'm sure they meant 'copy and paste' but if someone didn't know the difference, it could definitely be a disaster. Thanks for pointing it out, not as criticism, but as help to those who wouldn't have known better. On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 9:38 AM, David C Abernathy < da...@schmeckaber

How does one “Cut and Paste” a citation? I think MOST are doing s “Copy and Paste” NOT a “Cut and Paste” which are two different actions. Cut will Remove the selected data from the source and to be pasted elsewhere. We have beginners here and we need to be correct in the describing the ac
