[LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative - repeat of child marriage status for mother's 2nd marriage
Hi Listers I couldn't see this topic in the Archives. Has anyone else come across this error? I created a descendant report for a woman that had two husbands, all of her children are from the first marriage, and the last child died young and has the text never married and had no children. In the next paragraph I was expecting Bertha married or Bertha next married but got Bertha Bertha never married and had no children. [name of 2nd Husband, son of ...]. I have use quoted names for narratives, but I've never gotten a repeat before. I chose my mother who had been married twice and checked her descendant narrative report, her two marriages were worded fine, so was her quoted name for narratives, but I didn't have the same child marriage status to compare - never married and had no children. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Descendant Narrative - repeat of child marriage status for mother's 2nd marriage
I ran a descendant narrative report on a woman in my file with 4 marriages. I didn't have that double name problem at all. The 2nd (and subsequent marriages) read like this... Eliza married John Entrekin about 1872 Eliza married James C. Simmons about 1888... I then added a fake nickname in quotes to Eliza and I got this output... Janie married John Entrekin about 1872 Janie married James C. Simmons about 1888...

[LegacyUG] Intellishare question
My husband has heard me talk about his family history long enough and now he wants to get in on the action. Yay! We have separate computers so I decided that the Intellishare option would work for us. I have read the Help Center article and understand what I'm supposed to do when he sends me the file AFTER he's made changes. I exported my family file to a Legacy file and saved it under a different name. I e-mailed the file to him. When we tried to open it through Legacy on his computer, it did not work. It had the .fdb extension. Luckily we're in the same house, so I could copy the file to a jump drive and move it to his computer. But I'm wondering, what happens when the person you're sharing with is in another state and e-mail is the only way to transmit the files back and forth? Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this? The only problem that I can think of is the possibility that the file name I used for the e-mailed version (send to rick.fdb) was not a good name. When I exported to my jump drive, I used a one word file name. Could that explain the problem? Dede Holden

Re: [LegacyUG] Intellishare question
I suspect you just had a glitch in the transmission or the process you used. The name that you each use doesn't matter. I've been using Intellishare with my sister for several years via email, CD's, and jump drives with zero problems. I am assuming that the jump drive worked (you imply that but didn't explicitly say so). I'm not quite sure what you mean by I exported my family file to a Legacy file and saved it under a different name. You could have used File | Save Family File as or used Windows Explorer to copy and save to another name.

I didn't notice they were there until you posted, but in a quick check it looks like Legacy is organized so that if you find a template you like in EE, you can go to the page/section number in Legacy and select the template. In other words, it looks like we have two choices for finding templates: by name, and by page/section number in EE. Nice feature; and thanks for letting us know it existed.

Re: [LegacyUG] sourcing familysearch labs
I would consider FSL to be the repository, and the individual databases should be sourced based on what they actually are. For instance, Texas Death Certificates would be sourced under Death Records Death Certificates All countries except... Created at a state/provincial level online images. Obviously the usual caveats about referencing any of their text-only indexes apply, but since most of FSL's indexes are linked to scans of the original images, there's a good degree of confidence in most of their data. -Steve On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 9:54 AM, Bernard Doddema doddema...@gmail.com wrote: I've checked the archives and didn't see anything that really fit what I'm about to ask.

Re: [LegacyUG] sourcing familysearch labs
Some examples are: Netherlands Death Burials Netherlands Births Baptisms 1900 United States Census So for clarification, the above should be the source and only use FSL as the repository? Thanks for your time.

RE: [LegacyUG] uploading changed web pages
Keith, That is precisely why I *never* change the RINS. There is also another problem with Pedigree Pages. If the sources are put at the end of the pages, and then if only new pages are inserted the reference numbers will be incorrect. Which is why I put sources on each page.

[LegacyUG] uploading changed web pages
I didn't mean to start a controversy, I did use FileZilla and upload the Legacy files. No offence to FileZilla, but this is a large file over 10MB, and it was quite lenghty to upload. I've reloaded the entire file in the past with WS_FTP Home and it takes 2-3 hrs. I was hoping there is some program that would highlight or have an arrow or something indicating which needs to be uploaded, rather than dragging and dropping the entire file list and have it go through that process. It would certainly be great if Legacy would have an FTP as an add on that we could buy, that would verify and upload only changes. Thanks for all your help input.

What you are really asking for is a way to isolate changed files. This is easy to do but you need to retain a copy of the database. To Clarify (for Pedigree Pages): Create the web page and upload onto the server name the filefolder January. Next month create a new file folder Called February and compare the files in February with those in January. Copy The changed files into a temporary folder and upload those onto your server. You can use CSDiff (http://www.componentsoftware.com/products/CSDiff/download.htm) or WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) to make the comparison.

I want to get this figured out, because my brother wants to start sharing our family file also and he lives in another town. Thanks for the reply. Mike, thanks also for your reply.

Yay! We have separate computers so I decided that the Intellishare option would work for us. I have read the Help Center article and understand what I'm supposed to do when he sends me the file AFTER he's made changes. I exported my family file to a Legacy file and saved it under a different name. I e-mailed the file to him. When we tried to open it through Legacy on his computer, it did not work. It had the .fdb extension. Luckily we're in the same house, so I could copy the file to a jump drive and move it to his computer. But I'm wondering, what happens when the person you're sharing with is in another state and e-mail is the only way to transmit the files back and forth? Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this? The only problem that I can think of is the possibility that the file name I used for the e-mailed version (send to rick.fdb) was not a good name. When I exported to my jump drive, I used a one word file name. Could that explain the problem?

In the next paragraph I was expecting Bertha married or Bertha next married but got Bertha Bertha never married and had no children. [name of 2nd Husband, son of ...]. I have use quoted names for narratives, but I've never gotten a repeat before. I chose my mother who had been married twice and checked her descendant narrative report, her two marriages were worded fine, so was her quoted name for narratives, but I didn't have the same child marriage status to compare - never married and had no children.

At present the name bars comfortably hold name/surname/dates and, for me, if that information will not fit then having to drag the information to read it would be a bit of a pain.

RE: [LegacyUG] Has anyone
Toni: I converted from FTM via GEDCOM some time ago without a single hiccup. Of course, I was shocked by the data entry inconsistencies that were nearly invisible in FTM but very apparent (and relatively easy to correct) in Legacy. You shouldn't be put off by the problems posted to the list. Many times they're from users who just haven't yet found the key to getting the result they want. The program has a huge array of sophisticated features and it takes time to find/learn them all, but the basics are very simple and straightforward. Post your specific problems and you'll get good responses from users on the list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pedigree View Enhancement
4 generations is enough for my laptop, my trifocals, and me.

RE: [LegacyUG] uploading changed web pages-sources
Ron, I downloaded WinMerge, and plan to try it. So basically, I'll still save the webpages to the Legacy web folder, but just add a month or date. I thought about what you said about adding sources at the bottom of the page, rather than at the end as I've been doing. When I did this the Table of Contents, Surnames, and the Name List is not working(Page Load Error...file not found), Home page is. This is what I have checked that I think is relevant: Other: Gendex; Include source citations...On each individual's page Formatting: Names...Surname, Given names; Surname index...Grouped alpha.

[LegacyUG] Has anyone probs
Sadly it looks like others have not had much of a problem, firstly I noticed my countries entered in Capitals had all turned to lower case which I have sorted with help, now I note that where I had entered (FTM) given names they were now surnames in capitals ( this could have been my fault) in trying to ajust my surname to capitals, now funnily I notice the group sheet is not surname capitals but index is. So far one person found born in the wrong country and so with 7500 people in the tree how much other stuff is messed up. Thank you for your replies just needed someone else that had problems with the changeover and so I would feel less like chucking the prog. out. This unfortunately is the second bought prog (Printmaster 23) which I have a problem with which I cannot solve, perhaps I will throw the PC and all out, and now I see a new replacement for Vista . yikes!!
