Re: [LegacyUG] unknown surnames
The Descendant Narrative also has the option to insert underlines for missing names, dates and places. The Family Group Sheet has a variation on this. It will insert a small name, date, place for missing information. These are positioned in the top left of the box where the information should be inserted.

Paul, Legacy has a compare files for duplicates. Tools Compare files for duplicates. During the compare you can tag the individuals in both files that are duplicates. After going through that process you can open the second file and use search to find all the individuals where that tag does NOT apply.

I say probably because we have not yet proved the link but I am fairly certain and had some members of her branch of the family as an unlinked family in my Legacy file. I decided the easiest way to send the Report I wanted was to use a no-longer-required copy of my current Family File to link the two families and create the Report, rather than mess around with my current file. That was fine ... until I came back to Legacy later in the day and happily carried on doing all my updating IN THE WRONG FILE! Now I have the unhappy task of trying to find all those updated records and either re-doing all my work or merging the two sets of records.

Re: [LegacyUG] a new way to wreck your database
Jim, I was entering a problem report on this since I think Legacy should have given you some warning that selecting a new location from the GEO Data Base would change all the locations that used that place. As I was going through your steps I found that there is an intermediate screen between the GEO Database Selection and the return to the individual edit screen. That intermediate screen is titled Merge Location and has the original location from the Master Location List and the new location from the Geo DB. It is the Save button on that screen that changes your Master Location List name from the original to the newly selected name and does not warn that all uses of the Master List name will be changed. I have submitted a problem report with the suggestion that the user needs to be warned or that there should be an option on the Merge Location screen to ADD the selected location as a new Master Location.

So, I merrily went to the birth location field where the state was showing and figuring I'd kill several birds with one stone (obtain the county name and get the latitude and Longitude), clicked on the Geo location icon, taking me to the Geo Location Database where I found that the state was already filled in. I simply filled in the name of the town, Acorn Ridge, and clicked search and there I had all the desired info. I clicked the Select on the Core + line and that took me to the Merge Location screen where I clicked on Geo and then Save. This brought me back to GGrandmother's Individual information screen, with town, county, state, country, Lat. Longitude, completely filled in. I clicked Save and went happily on my way. NOW, six weeks and many backups later, I find that the way I changed the location from state of Missouri only, to Acorn Ridge, Stoddard County, Missouri, USA, resulted in changing ALL instances of Missouri to Acorn Ridge, Stoddard All 123 cases in my 27 June backup, where a location of only Missouri was used, now show Acorn Ridgeetc. A few of these are correct but most are not. In addition, subsequent research has revealed a few other ancestors with event locations of Acorn Ridge, Illinois. So, it's now necessary that I go through the entire list of everybody using that location as of now and change most of them back to Missouri only. I don't have a question in regards to fixing my Master Location list, I just want to warn others about this potential problem of inadvertently changing all instances of an existing location, when you intend to change only one. This is probably a horse on me, but it seems like there should have been a warning from the program that changing this location will change it for everybody using this location.

If you know the other parent's name, be sure to enter it before you link the child! Thanks to both of you for your help!

But my point being, regardless of the sequence I used, Unknown parents and Unknown spouses (i.e. 4th and perhaps 5th people named unknown, not the 3 I was dealing with) were automatically created by Legacy without my knowledge.

Ron Ferguson Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:59:18 -0700 From: clshee...@yahoo.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Magically Appearing Unknown Spouses and Parents To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com I know this topic has been discussed several times before, in one manner or another, but I can't come up with the proper search terms to find what I need in the Archives. Yesterday, I attempted to link two individuals who were already in my database as father and daughter. The father was in my database as a totally unlinked person (no parents, no children, no siblings, no spouse). The daughter was an end-of-the-line ancestor with many descendants. As best as I can remember the sequence I used, I first added a new, named wife to the father, then attempted to link them to the daughter. But I might have started with trying to link him to the daughter before entering a wife's name. In any event, it took several minutes of errors stating things like She is already linked to these parents (which she most certainly was not), or, she already has parents, do you want to link to another set of parents? before I discovered there was a phantom unknown spouse for the father. I then thought it should be a simple matter of unlinking the daughter from this phantom marriage, deleting the unknown spouse/marriage, and relinking to the proper named parents, but that didn't work either without several tries. In one case, the unknown spouse was deleted and magically reappeared again. What is causing these Unknown spouses to appear? Is there any way to prevent it? In checking my Marriage List, I see I not only have several phantom spouses, I have some Unknown to Unknown parents of some end-of-the line ancestors that I certainly never added. This seems to have started in a relatively recent version (maybe from 6.0 to 7.0?) Is this not a bug? (It is certainly annoying).

Re: [LegacyUG] PDF Pedigree Reports
Anne, It is possible that you are related more than once to the people who are number 1 on pages 10 and 11. Check the pages where pages 10 and 11 say No. 1 on this chart is the same as no. x on page y. If those people are the same person but they are linked to different people in the previous generation (ie children of the person are different) you have a duplicate line. In my own family tree there are several cases where cousins married. This creates a duplicate line for the grandparents of those cousins and earlier generations of those grandparents. You can prevent this kind of duplicate line from being repeated in the reports. On the Report Options select the Format tab and click on Don't repeat duplicate lines.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Names and Addresses--mapping
Paula, The new mapping function uses the Microsoft Virtual Earth Web-based mapping application. It is not related to the Geo Location Database. There are two ways to use mapping. a. For your Master location List you can view a map of the location (and a list of the people who use each location) by going to View Master Lists Locations. b. When you have selected a person in the Index, Family, Descendant or pedigree views if you click on the mapping icon in the top tool bar you can generate a map with all the locations related to that person marked.

Since the program comes with the series of 'Alt. ...' Event Types, what's wrong with creating an Event Type of 'Alt. Spelling' or something similar? This would alleviate reams of the 'Another name for...' notes and also allow you to source the alternative/wrong spelling. Aliases should really be left for alternate, official surnames. I entirely agree with your last sentence; I hate the idea of putting a whole list of transcription errors and spelling variations in the AKA field. It would make pretty boring reading in a report and not be accurate anyway (someone was not also known as ... just because a Census enumerator mis-read a name.

The current practise is to enter your surnames in mixed case. It is easy for the computer to display those mixed case surnames in All Caps on your screens and to print them in all caps in reports. Version 7.0 added a new problem check for Standardization Tips The all caps surname problem is coming from the standardization tips checks which checks for surnames in all capitals.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question on merging two files
When you merge two records in Legacy the sources from both records are included with the resulting person. From what you say you may need to review all the sources attached to your records after you have imported and merged to eliminate the sources you entered and leave only the Ancestry sources you prefer to keep. Yes, you MUST have the record you want to keep on the left when doing a merge. The person on the right will disappear from your file. When importing the records from the Ancestry file I suggest you have the RINs and MRINs from the Ancestry file start at some large number that will make it clear to you which file they came from. For example if you have 1000 people and 350 marriages in your file have the RINS start at 5000 in the Ancestry file and the MRINs start at 1000. Since the RIN for the two people is shown on the merge screen you can make sure that your original person is the one on the left using the swap left and right button.

I read the article on merging two files and have a question. What I have done is to look up things (census, etc) on Ancestry and bring them into the family file that I have posted on the Ancestry site. At the same time, I tried to enter them into my Legacy file here on my laptop. Now what I find is that Ancestry has done a much better job of filling out the source information than I have done and would like to take advantage of that by downloading my family file and merging it with my Legacy file. My aim would be to get the source information to move over. My Legacy file is the one where I have written all my family and research notes so I don't want to lose them by going the other way. Question: Those with more experience at this, would it be better for me to do it in the reverse and just do a side by side to move all my notes to the Ancestry file after I import it back into a new Legacy file ? Question: If I merge ancestry into my legacy file..If I have a birthdate in my legacy file that is the same as the birthdate on the ancestry file, but the ancestry file has more sources for it, how do I get the ancestry info to come over. Do I just pretend they are different and I want the ancestry date to replace what I have, thus bringing over all the sources. What would happen to any source that I had for my legacy date, would it disappear ? Question: Do I always want my to keep file on the left of the screen, or is that where it automatically goes ? Hope I have not muddled this up so no one can understand me. Thanks for any help.

Re: [LegacyUG] MLD Contents
Alastair, Each section of the report (ie. head of the line) is organized internally by generation. I do not think there is a way to turn off those generation numbers in the table of contents. It automatically creates a second level entry for the generations within each of the lines. If I understand your request you would like the option to have only a single level for the TOC so only the starting couple would be listed. We are happy to consider suggestions for new features.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheet Error - Calculated Date Terminology
Kay, Problem confirmed. There is an error in the .trn files which control the chart type reports wording. I have submitted a problem report on the issue. You will only see the error if you change the report language. So long as you were using the default language you used to install Legacy the term is correct. Once you change language however the error in the .trn file changes Legacy's term for Calculated from Cal to Ber in all the future chart style reports you create.

Re: [LegacyUG] List of Living Decedents
Larry, You will have to do it in two stages and it will NOT be sorted by birth date. You can however export the list to a csv (comma separated values) text file and import that into a spreadsheet program to sort it. 1. Create a focus group for the descendants of the person. Select him/her first. Go to Search Find Miscellaneous Tab Select the focus group then Click on the the View Select Focus Group button. Clear any existing entries. Click on Add individual and Descendants The person you selected will be the one in the name box. If you did not go to him/her earlier use the Change Button to change the starting person. Select the Descendants Option, the Entire Descendant line will give you too many people. Click OK then OK again to close the focus group Make sure the option to clear list before this search is selected and click Create List When the list is created you have finished step 1. 2. In the search results screen click on the search button and select find. This time select the Detailed Search tab Primary Condition, Look for=Individual, Where=Living, How=Equal to What=YES This time select the option in the bottom to only search the search list. Click Create List Only the living descendants will now be in your list. To create the .csv file Click on Print you can select up to three Rows of data to be included for each person (In the .csv file this will be all on one line). To specify the data click on the customize button for Row 1. You can have up to 8 custom pieces of data there. Then on Row 2 and Row 3 you can add more if needed. Make sure there is a check mark in the box beside each item you want to include. When you have the Rows set up Select the CSV file in the lower left then click the Create Button that will replace the Print button. Assign a file name and click Save The file will be created. WARNING: When I loaded the file I created into MS Excel and had it format the birth dates as dates the people who I only had a birth year for had incorrect dates. Legacy exported the birth as 1979 for example. In MS Excel dates are counted from 1 Jan 1900 so 1979 was interpreted as a date in 1905. If the birth was missing a year eg. 16 Oct Excel assumed the date was the current year so it became 16 Oct 2009.

Re: [LegacyUG] newbie question - master source list
Jerri, The source clipboard is a tool that will let you add that same detail to all the family members listed on that census. If you set up the clipboard first with the census details and text you can then use the paste from clipboard icon to add that source for other members of the family with a single click. Re: Using Family Names etc in the text of the source. If you enter it there the data will only appear in the source citations of any reports you create. The alternative is to create an event for each person. Legacy has the built-in Census event. If you enter the details of the family in the Event Notes they will appear in the body of your reports when you include events. NOTE: Legacy also has an Event Clipboard so you can create the event for the first family member then copy it to the Event Clipboard when you add that event to the other members of the family you can use the Event Clipboard to paste in the event details with one click. In fact if you set up the event with the source attached before you copy it to the Event clipboard both the event and the source citation will be pasted to each family member. It is up to you which method you use for entering family details, personally I like the fact that Events are in the body of the report and the family details are included with the Event so that is what I use for my census entries.

Re: [LegacyUG] Saving when merging
Legacy does not make a backup before merging in the way it does when you make a backup. It makes a temporary copy of the family file not a zip backup. That temporary copy is only kept until you stop Legacy. If you decide to undo the merge you can go to Edit Undo merge and Legacy will retrieve the temporary copy of the file which will undo the changes made.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source citation superscript in Events - Sentence override
Marianne, The Sentence override allows you to define a sentence but it is limited to 255 characters. Your sentence definition in that override should use the replaceable text fields to select the information you have entered for the event instead of trying to write out everything in the sentence override. One of those replaceable text fields is [sources]. That field will be replaced in the report sentence with the superscript number(s) for the sources linked to that event. Other fields will add the date, name of the person (or couple for marriage events), the event description, place, notes etc. If you have difficulty or questions at any stage press F1 or use the help button on the screen for more information.

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: Jim's Aha Moment to the + Symbol... Thanks
Jim, Yes it is that simple. The + sign beside a relationship in that area above a person's name means there is more than one. If you right click on someone with a + sign you will see the option to view additional relationships for THAT person. The reason you did not see that choice with John is that he does not have multiple relationships. In his case the option is Open Relationship Calculator. The + sign on children and parents names in family view means there is at least one more generation above (parent) or below (child).

John's father, Joe, is Rose's mother, Louisa's, brother. Hence, Joe's and Louisa's parents are John's and Rose's grandparents. I reset the relationships to begin with John and the relationship labeling appeared as follows: John = Self Rose, his wife = 1st cousin + Joe, their son = Son + Levine, John's father-in-law = Father-in-law + Louisa, John's mother-in-law = Aunt + And then I think this may be the simple answer. In the case of the relationship between John and Rose, she is his 1st cousin PLUS she is his wife. In the case of relationship with Louisa, she is John's aunt, PLUS she is his mother-in-law. If this is what the + symbol means in the relationship labeling, Hallelujah!!! So when I reset the relationships to myself as the primary individual - John = my 1st cousin 3 times removed Rose = my 1st cousin 3 times removed PLUS, +, the wife of my 1st cousin 3 times removed. I hope this is as simple as the developers of Legacy meant this relationship label + symbol to mean... or I'm screwed!!!

I need confirmation, that before actually doing it, I need to: (1) delete all .usr files from the root directory of Legacy on the new system; (2)then copy all the saved .usr files from the old system to the root directory on the new system. Doing so should then have Legacy on the new computer looking like I had it on the old system?

Re: [LegacyUG] Help for New User
Isobelle, Yes there is a way to print out a list of all your multimedia files. Go to View Scrapbook Select the type of multimedia files you want to include and click on Print Multimedia List A second options screen will open where you can elect to include such things as where the file is linked, captions, dates etc. Click Preview to view the list or select a text or PDF file.

I wonder if adding it as a photo (JPEG), or can it be added as a PDF document within Legacy. If either of these is possible, am I also able to create a reference list for them. Also is it possible to create a list within Legacy, which can be printed out, so that I can see what photos I have uploaded to each family group, or to the data base as a whole.

Re: [LegacyUG] Merging Basic Sources into Sourcewriter
Lew, When I tested this and reported the problem with merging basic sources into sourcewriter sources I found that the detail entries from the old style source were lost. The Basic source details were not copied to the sourcewriter template fields. Initially when you look at the source in the source list the old details are shown but if you click on edit details you will find that those entries are missing from the sourcewriter details screen. If you then save instead of cancel the only entries that will remain are those hard coded into the template (such as the microfilm series number for census records). The programmer elected to prevent merging of old and new style sources in response to that problem report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Someone
Jack and Kirsten, I should have said in my original answer that initially I was NOT able to duplicate the problem. My Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to use the Save/Close Button on any screen in Legacy. When I first tested the problem I automatically used Save on the marriage information screen so the Wording Tab change made by Legacy from married someone (Unknown spouse) to married (known spouse) was saved and the reports read X married Y. Legacy was, therefore trying to sort out the wording based on my addition of a spouse when the marriage screen was presented. My use of the Cancel button told Legacy not to make the change to the Wording Tab it was proposing. I did say that I had not reviewed the Wording Tab, if I had looked at that tab I would have seen that the wording was going to be changed to married instead of married someone. That was the reason why I asked the $64 question. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!

Re: [LegacyUG] Date format question
Ron, Not all date fields in the SourceWriter templates use the date validation and formatting routines used to convert dates to the Date Options Format. Some will accept whatever you enter. You can tell, when you leave the field if the date options are implemented, If the date options/validation are used then the date in the field will immediately change to the Date format you have defined in Options. If the date does not change format it is one of those date fields which accept the user's input as is.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help getting rid of duplicates
LouAnn, Legacy has some searches that will help you with this problem. What you are seeing are multiple links between some people either as children of the same couple or as multiple marriages between the same people. Go To Search Find Miscellaneous Searches There you can search for people with multiple spouses and for children with multiple parents. Use the search for multiple spouses first. For those who have multiple spouses who are the same person you can fix the problem from the search list. In the right side select the family tab. You will see the list of spouses and children as well as their parents and siblings. Examine the lists to see if any full families are duplicated. ie. the spouse and all children are the same. Select one of the duplicate spouses then click the Spouse list button below the family list. Select one of the duplicate spouses and use the UNLINK button. That will remove that duplicate link. NOTE: The children will still be linked to that person and he/she will now have an unknown spouse so you will have to repeat the unlinking step to remove the unknown spouse and make a final break with the children.
