[LegacyUG] Hints

I have a membership in Genealogy Bank. But when I get a hint that utilizes one of their records (and that is rare which is why this hasn't happened before I assume) Legacy cannot take me there. It says I must be a member of FamilySearch. I assume that means a church member as I have an account at F

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints

You should be able to get to any account. you don't have to be a Church member, either. But I think you need to give your FS info to Legacy to stop the confusion. If it's a site that requires membership, you should just fill it in. Joyce On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 1:56 PM, Cheryl Rothwell wrote: >

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints

The only account where there is a place to fill in that info in Legacy that I can find is FamilySearch. It's in 8.13 of Customize. On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 2:03 PM, Joyce Herzog wrote: > You should be able to get to any account. you don't have to be a Church > member, either. But I think you need

Volume 1 is no longer being sold as of several weeks ago, I understand. I can't understand that because it is not nearly as out of date as volume 2 and still has much valuable information. Laura Tynes -Original Message- From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

OK, had not thought of setting up the Gedcom from Ancestry, changing all the Est to Abt, doing the same with my existing Legacy file before doing the merge. Not exactly what I want but it would work and save time. Never done a search and replace but going to make a duplicate file and try this on

I “think” that this means you have to register at the FamilySearch site, not be a church member. From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On Behalf Of Cheryl Rothwell Sent: Saturday, 8 July 2017 3:56 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: [LegacyUG] Hints I have a

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

Est is a valid date format in Legacy even though it isn't listed at Options-Customise 5.7 There's no need to change it. Cathy Lucy Abbott Saturday, 8 July 2017 4:00 AM OK, had not thought of setting up the Gedcom from Ancestry, changing all the Est to Abt, doing

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

Est is not a prefix in the options menu but Legacy does "see" it as valid. There is a bug in our tracker about this asking the programmers to put Est in the options menu with the rest of the valid prefixes. On Jul 2, 2017 2:43 PM, "Lucy Abbott" wrote: > I have always used Est rather than Abt. Si

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints

Cheryl, If the hint is from Genealogy Bank, it shouldn't be taking you to FamilySearch at all. Are you clicking in the right place? To set up which sites you want Hints from, you go to Options-Customise 8.13. If you choose to have FamilySearch hints (which aren't from their vast databases but

[LegacyUG] My Heritage within Legacy

Hi Everyone My question is: *Can I switch off the My Heritage tick within Legacy permanently?* I find it annoying as it is actually highlighting the information that I have typed into my Legacy programme and if you click on it, it is asking me to subscribe to My Heritage at a cost to me. I ha

Re: [LegacyUG] My Heritage within Legacy

Maria, Yes you can turn off MyHeritage hints. Go to Options - Customise 8.13 and click the button to choose your hinting sites and uncheck MyHeritage. Save. You may want to save all your Options - Customise settings as User Defaults. See the Options for Default Settings button at the bottom of

[LegacyUG] Names list - resizing columns

In the Names list I am unable to resize the columns in the grid (RIN, Name, Sex etc). Is this an issue? It would be convenient to be able to do so: for example just now I get several pages of CARGILL, and have to hover over each in turn to find the one that I want. Resizing the surname column, e

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

A GEDCOM file is a plain text file but the lines are organized in a special way and include key words that let genealogy programs understand the contents. Each program then stores the contents in their own special data format when they import the GEDCOM file. You can open any GEDCOM file with
