RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Date to Census Event

June, I haven't figured out how to do a global addition of a date to your census event(s) but this might speed things up... perhaps you are already doing it this way... If you have entered the census events as, say, "1901 England Census" then you could do a Search to create a list of those

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicate information in descendant narrative report

Hi Pat, You can only stop the duplicating of his information by saving the report as an rtf file and editing it yourself. The "don't repeat duplicate lines" would operate if he and his second wife had children. There full information wouldn't be repeated and you should find a comment something li

[LegacyUG] Duplicate information in descendant narrative report

I am doing a descendant narrative report for one branch of my family. A 2x grgrandfather married twice. His 2nd wife was his 2nd cousin and her information appears before his does. Right after her information his information appears. Then when he appears as a descendant in his own right his inf

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Date to Census Event

Thanks Cathy and Ron – yes it is the Event date not a date in the source (sorry I didn’t make that clear). I think I have to keep going on as I am and that is to slowly put the dates in one by one. Thanks again - June From: Cathy Pinner [mailto:genea...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 19 Augu

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding Date to Census Event

Hi June, I think you are meaning the Event date rather than a date in the source? Do you have anything for the Census Event date? If you have the year, you could use Search - Search and Replace - on Event Date eg Search for 1851 Replace with 30 Mar 1851 Replace whole field. You'd need to do the r

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Date to Census Event

June, You do not say if you are using basic or SW sourcing, nor the version of Legacy. Nevertheless, if you put the date in the Master Source it will apply to all sources using that Master Source. For all UK censuses SW has special, dated, templates. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk June

[LegacyUG] Adding Date to Census Event

I have entered census events to many of the people on my data base. Only recently have I come across the dates of the British Census and I want to add them to the event. Do I actually have to go into each persons file, find each census and enter the date manually, or is there a way in which I ca

Hi Brian, I suppose what I was referring to was as a 'blank" was the place holder. I've used media re-linker and have now transferred all the linked files into the Legacy media file. From my prior software I had no videos, lots of text documents for which some transferred and some did not.

RE: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - Find A Grave: the World's Largest Cemetery Database by Russ Worthington

Find A Grave is very problematic. Just for starters: Some contributors refuse to make changes even when supplied with primary documentary evidence. Many people are linked inaccurately. Many are listed as buried in the wrong cemetery. Too many birth and death dates and places are wrong. Too ma

The paragraph number for each main person in the Ancestor Book report is the Ahnentafel number for that person based on the starting person in the report.
