Have you double checked that the new version is opening up the same database? Maybe after the update the default open changed somehow. On 06/07/2015 10:50, marcie wrote: I just updated Legacy and now have a large amount of unknown individuals not connected to my tree. Have no idea who they

I just updated Legacy and now have a large amount of unknown individuals not connected to my tree. Have no idea who they are, but there are marriages connected to them. The version not updated on my other computer does not have these individuals. Where did they come from and am I able to go

[LegacyUG] Individual Chart - orphaned source?

2015-06-07 Thread Rob Miller
Before I report it, I thought I had better check here. I just printed an Individual Chart for myself. I notice it shows my AKA's, but not the AKA of my mother.. BUT the source for my mom's AKA is listed. Meaning my report has this orphaned source that does not tie into anything on the report.

I have a problem and (perhaps) a solution to this, and I am now wondering if anyone sees any drawback or problem in my solution: Image management in Legacy is not the best but you can’t demand so much, it's a genealogy program. I generally use IrfanView as the first option for pictures and I

Rob, The only AKAs that will show up on an individual report are those that belong to that individual, not to any of his family members. I can’t reproduce what you are seeing. In my test file I gave the husband an AKA and attached a source. I give the mother an AKA and attached a source. I

[LegacyUG] Informant Event Definition?

2015-06-07 Thread gregandlaurel
Hi Rob, I think adding or not adding the date of the event in addition to the date of registration is a personal choice. I like to include both. My event sentence format is different than yours, but here is a Birth Informant event from my file: 1886 Feb 15 - Birth Informant - Annie registered the

2015-06-07 Thread Rob Miller
Thanks Jenny! So you only record the date of the registration (not the date of the event) correct? Do you create the mirror image, and have an event (following your example) for yourself saying who was the informant on your record? Thanks, Rob On 7 June 2015 at 08:53, Jenny M Benson

Hi Donna, I think you are saying you are using the files on a home network so you only have one copy of the files. Re the Media, they're going to have a different path on the laptop than when you're using the desktop. However, if you're using the same family file, unless you do it every time,

Hi Rune, A better solution would be to ask for an enhancement to Legacy to allow use of an external image editor. But how often do you want to edit images? I do my editing before attaching to Legacy. I edit a copy of my archived image and then usually resize so Legacy doesn't have to work so
