Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

Cathy, Yes.  I am not so proficient in Legacy nomenclature.  I fully understood why baptism and burial for which there may be documentation are reasonable surrogates for birth and death respectively. As for my aside about "cause of death", I was surprised by the fifth default item in the family

Re: [LegacyUG] New Find-a-Grave feature

I just remembered that a few years back a user named Dennis (Kowalski, I think) from Zipper Software created a program named “LTools” that allowed slightly more advanced users to do some pretty neat stuff to their legacy data file. However, I just checked, and his website states that LTools has

I, too, had approximately 2,400 FAG#’s in the User ID field and just finished cutting & pasting them all into the FAG ID field. Wasn’t very fun. Sure would’ve been nice if I’d had some kind of script or something to do the job for me. Oh, well. George Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Scott

Re: [LegacyUG] New Find-a-Grave feature

Scott and Brian and others Yes it is wonderful to have the FAG tool... Yes I screened a lot of FAG sites over the years. I was getting headstones sometime obits that included names of children, etc. Now I don't have to get headstones which saves a lot of work creating additional events. Yes

Re: [LegacyUG] New Find-a-Grave feature

I am not aware of any global tool to perform this task inside legacy. If you have MS Access or Open Office you may be able to do an update query to copy the FAG number from those events to the FAG data. Other wise you can search for those 5400 people with the Find A Grave Event, tag them with

The ‘no trusting’ part goes for any site. I accept the info then go about getting proof. I wish I could come up my example I recorded years ago where I had 8 differences on one page between the English church transcripts – Archdeacon’s and Bishop’s. Which do you go by? Additionally I have

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

I understand that - my comment is that you can't *trust* what you find on Find A Grave to be accurate. One of the bonuses is tombstone pictures, but that doesn't mean the information on the tombstone *or* the information transcribed and placed on Find A Grave is accurate. Sometimes people take

"I have seen all sorts of problems with Find A Grave. My great grandfather's tombstone has a wrong birthdate" A tombstone with the wrong birth date is hardly the fault of Find A Grave. A family member at the time commissioned the tombstone. There are any number of reasons as to how they had the

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

Yes I understand how FAG runs and I do try and keep my records in order. When there are duplicates I flag them. I use events in legacy and keep both as Find A Grave memorial number 12345 & 54321 And send the edit request to the parties involved but you never know which will be valid and which

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

Yes, you can. The earlier memorial takes precedence. Ideally, the later memorial is merged into the earlier one, but if the later contributor takes no heed, then you contact FAG. All is explained in their Help files. Cheers, Carolyn From: LegacyUserGroup

[LegacyUG] New Find-a-Grave feature

Hello ... I am happy that v9 has a FAG data field and direct link to this well accepted and important genealogical tool. For years I have been capturing FAG memorials in my Legacy file by copying the FAG memorial number into the UserID field. Now that there is a dedicated FAG memorial ID field,

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

I have seen all sorts of problems with Find A Grave. My great grandfather's tombstone has a wrong birthdate. FAG has a great granduncle married to a woman and fathering a child that was not at all possible. I thought SSDI shows where the benefits check was sent, not where the person is buried?

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

You can enter only one into the new FAG field so I would use an event for any duplicates (And I have found one or two people with duplicate memorial numbers. There was a discussion (I think it was on the facebook group) about this and apparently if you are a member of Find A Grave you can

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

You can add the other memorial in a source to whichever event the information pertains, or to the Unspecified Event. Unfortunately, FAG is rife with duplicates and totally erroneous memorials. Many contributors do not take the time and effort to thoroughly search before entering a new

Re: [LegacyUG] Fina a Grave duplicates

Ian I too have run across this… I use simple logic. Which one seems to be more accurate. (ie, tombstone with correct dates, burial location[does it correlate with SSDI], and sometimes I look at siblings, to see where there were buried.) Unfortunately you have to choose ONE memorial number.

Does any one know how to handle duplicate entries in Find a Grave in the new legacy field? What happens when a FAG number is deleted in Find a Grave after its been logged in Legacy? I am not worried about all this but I do have some 6000 FAG numbers in events that I would like to move to the FAG
