Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

Cathy, thank you.  That is a good suggestion.  The Online Database template is a very flexible option and it would seem to fit this situation. Barton On Fri, Jul 14, 2017 at 09:28 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Barton, Sorry, I was only responding to part of your email re the difference

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

Hi Barton, Sorry, I was only responding to part of your email re the difference between templates. If what you are looking at is transcriptions then I'd be using an Online Database template. The information may be from newspapers but you are not seeing the newspaper image and it's not the

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

Jenny, can you please explain what you mean by "change the entry in that field when creating my master source?" Which field? I don't understand how "online image" relates to any field in the template, to begin with, so I don't know what field I am supposed to change or what I should change it

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

For example, in the template I ended up selecting, "Newspapers>Online images (issued by unrelated content provider)," I asked if "issued" means "published on this website," which I assume it does. That's the assumption I would make. I also nitpicked about the use of "online image;" I

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

Hi Shirley, yes, I always insert the state abbreviation in the newspaper title after the name of the city or town.  I don't know why the Legacy template provides a field for the state which does not output.  I believe I read in EE that it's fine to do this (insert the state abbreviation) for

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 10 and Legacy 6

I would definitely install Legacy 6 using the default location of C:\Legacy. Do not put it in the c:\program files area or you will have problems with Windows 10 privacy/folder access rules. Windows 10 does not allow programs to save information into the program files area and Legacy 6 wants

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

I agree.  The only 2 options Legacy includes for online obituaries that are "issued by unrelated content provider" have the descriptor "online images" in them.  I'm not sure if there is any material effect on the citation by using the template for an obituary that has been transcribed.  The

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

I will not get involved in the "correct way" of sourcing, that is a personal choice.   But i do see a major distinction between an image and a transcription.  An image is a picture of an actual item as it exists to the photographer/scanner.     But a transcription is someone's interpretation

Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary

Hi Cathy, Thank you for your reply.  However, I did take a look at the existing templates (I thought my post reflected that).  I also may have provided "TMI" (I tend to do this), was not sufficiently succinct and/or asked obvious questions.  For example, in the template I ended up selecting,

[LegacyUG] Windows 10 and Legacy 6

I have a new computer with Windows 10, and I will go to Legacy and download the old version. My question is this: On my Windows 7, the Legacy folder resided directly on the C drive. I always copy and save that folder, backed up to an external drive. After I download and install Legacy 6 on the
