[LegacyUG] Define Windows printer
Could someone please remind me where I can define a windows printer in Legacy? It has always been OK before, but today when I opened Legacy I got that message - some of my fonts had mysteriously changed too, but I have fixed that.

RE: [LegacyUG] Define Windows printer
Don't worry, I did what I should have done, checked archives and although I didn't actually find an answer it alerted me to the fact that it was in Windows I had to define the printer. Also, all is now working properly without me having done anything! Just one of those things I guesss.

RE: [LegacyUG] Some report problems
Thanks for this reminder Ward, when I looked at this thread in the archives I realised that I had in fact contributed to it at the time - Support questioned someone else as to whether the 'extra' citations related to notes for an individual and implied that the problem was being looked at. I can confirm that the errant citations are indeed related to information in Notes. Presumably the problem hasn't been solved as yet. No-one has commented about missing pictures in Descendant Book (Modified Register) - where photos of direct descendants of the starting person are not included in the report. I thought they were included if not married, but further experimentation proves that not to be consistent. All expected photos appear in Descendant Narrative (but errant citations also appear as well).

RE: [LegacyUG] No report indices in text format, other bugs in reports
CE, I believe the limitations you are experiencing are part and parcel of the type of output you are requesting, rather than a limitation of Legacy. Asking for a text file will automatically strip / not pick up the coding which allows for the creation of an index - just as it strips / does not pick up any coding relating to font, bold, italics etc. It produces a text document only. With the .rtf document it includes something like the following [ Note: Using your word processor, generate an Index here. ] [ All names have been marked as index entries in this document. ] [ Erase these three lines. ] at the end of the document so you can use your word processor to create the index. I find this invaluable, because I don't create the index until I have edited the .rtf which may put people onto different pages as I move things, change the size of photos etc. So the .rtf version retains the index markings, but allows you to still create an index once you have finished editing. The other versions you cannot edit (unless you have a fully fledged PDF creator / editor) so there is no need to hold off creating the index.

I am asking that, when a report is Previewed and there are check boxes for printing various types of files, that those options be produced in whatever format which has a checkbox. The simplest would be a text file because then you could format the file in your word processor. When the opening page allows you to choose Index Options, you assume that the indices will be produced in whatever format is allowed, i.e. Screen/Printer, Text file, HTML, RTF, PDF. When the Preview shows you a report that includes indices, you assume that when produced in one of the formats with a check box, that the indices will be produced when you choose one of those formats.

RE: [LegacyUG] Changing surname
But I would only use the alternative name as an AKA if there is evidence that an individual actually used both variations, or was recorded in different documents with both variations. My late first husband's grandmother was always Georgina DANIELS (until her marriage), but other branches of the family use the name DANIEL.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pass on mother's name, not father's
I would just change the surname for each of the children to Monroe / Monrow as listed below. You don't have to keep the name that automatically appears from the father. My late first husband changed his surname by deed poll to his mother's maiden name, so his father is WARD, his mother and his own surname are HAWTON, as is my daughter's surname. Children from first marriage have surname WARD. I also notated the change as an AKA and an Event so the reason is recorded.

RE: [LegacyUG] Magically Appearing Unknown Spouses and Parents
I know this query first appeared a while back, but here are my thoughts: If you have a child but no parents and then find the name of one parent you would 'Add a parent '. This would in effect 'create' the parent of the opposite sex - automatically identified as Unknown by Legacy. If you later find the other parent you already have the parent couple, but not the name of the mother / father - so now you need to manually change Unknown to the newly discovered name and then 'Link to an existing person'. No need to turn either option off.

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] How to Represent a Best Fit Ancestor
I have a similar situation on my paternal grandfather's line. He was, according to family story, sent to an orphanage by his father after his mother died in childbirth. I have found a family of children admitted to an orphanage in the right time frame, with siblings with same names etc. admitted by their father after mother died. I will probably never prove that this is the correct family, but I have included them as best fit with a note for both the father and mother to say that they have not been proved to be the parents of my (proven) John Joseph, but that they are definitely the parents of the children admitted to the orphanage This note prints in all reports so there is no confusion.

When the .rtf Report is opened in Word of OO, the first generation is indented about 1.25 fom the left margin, Each subsequent generation is correctly indented .3 from the previous one. When I set the page margin (in Legacy) to 0, the first generation was very close to the left edge of the page. I then tried with a margin of .5 and left the indent at .3 and this time the first generation was about .5 from the left margin. So it seems to be that Legacy is adding an indent equal to the Left Margin setting to the paragraphs of the first generation, but whatever the margin is set at, the first generation paragraphs should align to the Left Margin without indent.

RE: [LegacyUG] Four generation tree with photos for grandkids
I just decided to print of this report for each of my grandchildren. (I had forgotten about the existence of this simple chart.) I elected to show 4 generations, and to include life span years - but there is a problem! The fourth generation names are side shifted (can't think of a better way to describe it.) For instance, the great grandmother on the far right has her picture, and the correct life span, but her name is beneath her husband. The life span under the great grandfather is correct. The next great grandmother has correct life span, but the name of the great grandfather immediately to her right. This continues across the line - except the seventh great grandparent 's name is out on its own in the page margin and the eighth great grandparent doesn't even have a box - no name, no date, nothing. I've tried fiddling with all possible settings regarding box / picture size etc. Interestingly, if I don't include life span every fourth generation name is lumped on top of each other in the left hand page margin, none are in the box with the image. Is it just me - or can anyone replicate?

RE: [LegacyUG] Someone
In cases like this I have changed my wording on an individual record basis to 'had a child with' and if it is truly a case of father unknown rather than father's name not known at this point I make the father's name (First Name) an (Surname) unknown man. I 'create' this person each time rather than reusing a default person. Also have to check This couple did not marry. I also have Legacy set to 'not change what I type' for surnames. (Usually I type surnames in capitals - but not in this case. I also don't select for the report to capitalise surnames - because I've already done it.) Reports then read - Mary SMITH had a child with an unknown man. Their child was . Of course if she happened you have more than one illegitimate child and you know the father was the same person you could change the wording accordingly. Otherwise, add each relationship separately.

RE: [LegacyUG] Someone
I know I am replying to this almost a month after it was posted - and I'm sure others have commented on the someone issue. But in checking to see if I had the same problem (I don't by the way - marriage sentences are fine) I did discover another two problems. If I select the option to have source citations listed after each generation, and begun on a new page, the title on some source citation pages picks up the report subject's spouse's name instead of the heading Source Citations. It appears to happen for the first two generations back from the subject (i.e. parents and grandparents). Following generations say Ancestors of Subject Name. This does not happen if I have the citations at the end of the report. Heading on all relevant pages there is Source Citations. Also, regardless of the format options of the report if there is a photo on the Title Page it is covering up part of the report title. Anyone else seeing these problems?

[LegacyUG] Update 7.0.0.76
I don't see this little change listed in the Revision History anywhere - but thank you for it all the same. If a quoted name is used in Descendant Book or Descendant Narrative the report now reads: She was usually called Jan. (is usually called . if still living.) However, when a quoted name is part of a non-narrative Report Title it still picks up the Quoted name (e.g. Individual Record of Janet Kay Jan SULLIVAN ). Does anyone else have trouble accessing the Legacy Home Tab in Legacy? This has been an ongoing problem for me for some time - installing updates does not resolve the issue. I get the following error message - Error displaying Legacy Home page. Error 13: Type mismatch Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN? I use Firefox as my browser, but I have Explorer installed, and updated. I can see the toolbars at the top of the page, but everything else is blank. Except for the error message. It locks up the program whether I click Yes / No or Quit. I had to go to the website to access the 7.0.0.76 update, which was rather strange because this morning I got the usual reminder about you haven't updated for more than 30 days etc. etc. so I checked for an update and was told I had the latest version - but at that point I only had 7.0.0.55. I do not have any other problems accessing the internet from within or outside of Legacy. For example, if I go to Legacy Home Page from the toolbar button rather than the tab I can access it, if I search for someone, it works. Would be interested to know if anyone else has a problem - or is it just me? I should say it always used to work for me. Cheers, Jan *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more.

[LegacyUG] Single parents
Just wondering Is there any logical reason why the Descendant Narrative Report can't have the same wording options regarding children as is available in the Descendant Report?

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children and 1/2 siblings by birth order?
Unfortunately - No. The 1/2 children will always show at the end of the list, after any children common to the two parents. Where all of the childen are 1/2 the first in the list will be the children of the highlighted parent. And you have to remember that they are not true HALF siblings - because they don't necessarily share a parent. As you have said in your example the husband and wife each have children from previous marriages, but they do not have children together, yet the children will show up as half children. It just means that only one of the shown parents is their parent. Cheers Jan On Wed Oct 29 15:04 , v pedersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>sent: Thank you to those who gave me good advice when I asked about how to clean up my gedcom file from FTM into Legacy. I have been trying to get to know Legacy today and have watched all of the training videos at least once. I am getting a pretty good understanding, but ran into a problem almost right away, as follows: I have a Family View screen that shows the following: A Husband who was been married twice with one child from a previous marriage, but no children with the Wife shown on this Family View screen. The Wife who has been married three times, with one child from a 1st marriage and 2 children from a 2nd marriage, and again, no children with the Husband shown on this Family View. The Husband and Wife have no children together, but have four children between them from prior relationships. When I bring up the Family View for the above Husband and Wife, I get a list of four 1/2-siblings out of birth order. I have tried right clicking on each of the children's names, and then selected "Children's Settings" in order to sort the list, but when I do, no children show up in the list because all of the children are from other marriages. Is there a way to sort the children by birth order on this screen? Thank you for your help.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pros and Cons of Notes vs. Events Usage
I don't do this myself, but another option you could consider is to restructure most of your Event sentences so they only contain Notes and Sources, although personally I believe a date filed would be most desirable as it will sort the events by date. My biggest 'con' re the use of freeform Notes only would be that if you later discover something that happened between two other dates you would have to search to find where to insert the new information. If you were to structure your Event Sentences Definitions along the lines of: Tick Show a Date Field. Leave all Sentence Definitions empty (delete what is currently there) - except the one which says 'If all Fields filled' and in that box type replace what is there with [Notes] [Sources]. You could also put the same definition in the one that says 'If Desc. Date and Place are empty', so that if you didn't actually have a date it wouldn't matter. However, if you wanted just one Event Sentence to cover all types of 'events / facts / notes' you would have to create a new Event. To do this click on Add Event (for any individual) then click on the little blue arrow next to the Even box (top of the next screen that appears), then click on the Add button (third down, right hand side of the Master Event Definition box that appears). Give it a name that begins with AA so it always appears at the top of the Event list when you want to use it - otherwise you've got to scroll down to find it, then make the above changes to the Sentence Definitions.

I actually do not use notes at all. I found that notes do not print on several of the reports I like to use and when they printed they often showed up in stranges places in the report. With events, everything prints in order, with sources, with pictures, and I always use my own wording (at least in the reports I use). This also saved me from trying to decide if something should be considered an event, or should be included in notes. I like everything to show in my reports and it annoyed me that certain reports did not allow the inclusion of notes (why bother entering them if you can't see them in a report) so I moved totally away from them and kept it simple: events only. Experiement with the different reports and see what you like in the end results. I played around for a long time before deciding on a course of action and I've been happy with the results. You may like using notes for different reasons. Laurel From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Pros and Cons of Notes vs. Events Usage Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 11:12:28 -0500 Hi Jessica, Before using Legacy, I used an event driven genealogy program so I'm comfortable creating and using events. Even though I did at first place some items in the general notes, I've since begun replacing all my note content with events. For general notes, I just created an event called Note. For most things, I like to use specific event names, such as the obituary event. Most events I've changed the sentence wording to be [notes][sources] as I prefer to write out what I want to say. A few, such as a census or an obituary, I begin with a canned sentence, depending on what fields I fill in. Bear in mind, I do not wish to take my material into a word processor. I want my reports to read as well as they can, straight from the program and I like to include photos in my reports. These are my personal considerations. Three things that come to mind are the fact you can easily shift the events in the timeline, you can attach a photo to each event and have it included in the reports and you can easily source each event. I'm sure other Legacy users will chime in with favorite ways of handling things. It's nice to have choices and you're wise to ask for idea's before you get too far into your family history. I've picked up so many helpful ideas from other users over the years and know how helpful various suggestions can be. Good luck with your family history projects.

[LegacyUG] RTF Report problems
Can anyone else confirm that creating an rtf version of a Descendant Narrative Report results in all sources being printed in subscript in their entirety at the point where there is usually just the source number in subscript? This has only happened since I updated to version 7.0.0.55 Deluxe. And I still have a problem accessing Legacy Home Page from the Home Page tab. I have tried everything suggested in the Error Number solutions. I have also ensured that my Firewall (XP Firewall only) will allow Legacy to access the internet. Does anyone else have the same problem? I use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. So I have even made IE7 my default browser but that hasn't helped.

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriage sourcing
I can't quite see why this is a problem. Surely it takes but a second or two to write a little note (the source text /comment tab would seem to be the ideal place) or to add the single word (date) or (place) etc. in the source detail. I can't see how it is any different to having two sources which give slightly different information for say a name - in this case I would 'write a little note' to explain the difference. Sometimes I have a source for a surname (for example an obituary might alert me to the fact that a woman married a JONES - e.g. survived by his daughter Mrs Mary JONES) and later I find that Mary's husband was Fred JONES. One source is relevant to the surname of her husband; the other is relevant to his first name. I have to make a note about each.

RE: [LegacyUG] Mr Mrs (was Standardization)
Yes David, Legacy does allow you to record a different surname for anyone - regardless of the father's surname. i.e If you have Legacy options set to automatically fill in the surname based on the father's surname you can always override that on an individual basis. And yes, I am always referred to as Jan MAIDENNAME in reports. However, I structure my narrative reports so that the sentences only use first or quoted names (for instance I am really Janet, but always known as Jan - so Jan is the quoted name), interspersed with He/She so the reports read more naturally. If I want to I can also use field names in my sentence structures specify the name / combinations of names to be used. However, if I retained his birth name as the primary name in Legacy I would get sentences that said things like John George SMITH married Janet Kay MAIDENNAME / John and Jan had one daughter etc. etc. - because the reports will only use the primary name (in a variety of ways as specified by the field names) - and clearly Janet Kay MAIDENNAME did not marry a John George SMITH. And if I recorded my daughter's surname as BROWN it would muddy the report even further.

When I came to think, I realized that I do not actually record Mr, Mrs etc. at all in the Individual's Information' view! Unless anyone can convince me otherwise, I can't see the reason. In Legacy, we can see clearly the males females and if they are married or not. All males are initially 'Master's' and at some point become Mister's'. If I distinguish between the two, for living persons at some time I would need to change all my 'Master's to Mister's'. That seems unnecessary work. If you use the abbreviation 'Mr', am I right in thinking this stands for 'Master' or 'Mister'? As all males (in anglicized speak) are 'Mr', why do we need to specify for each record? All females are Miss, until they are married at which point they 'usually' become Mrs. In the Legacy family view. My wife and I happily sit on opposite sides of the page, me with my surname, and Carol with her 'maiden' surname. If I then insert Mrs, as her title, surely her name will read Mrs Carol Southall, but when married her name changed to Mrs Carol Brookes. 8.0.100 / Virus Database: 270.3.0/1505 - Release Date: 16.06.2008 7:20:AM Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com

RE: [LegacyUG] Help with Install password for Legacy 7.0 Free version
Lets get some perspective into this please! I am sick of all the whingers - and I know I am at risk of being ticked off for being off-topic, but it has got beyond a joke. I have been as keen as anyone else to get my hands on Version 7.0. 30 minutes ago I paid for Deluxe 7.0, and within 5 minutes I got confirmation of my order - along with a reminder of what was clearly spelled out on the website - that I would receive a separate email with download instructions and password by the end of the next working day (but probably sooner!) So I wait! The world is not going to come to an end because I don't have it this minute! In the whole scheme of things having to wait for the password is very, very minor. You see, I am waiting for results of a CT scan and liver biopsy to see if I do in fact have secondary cancer from the breast cancer I thought I had beaten for six years!

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: asking questions associated with Legacy
I occasionally teach a 'Using the Internet for Genealogy' class at the adult community education college where I work. Course information clearly states that students should have at least basic computer, internet and genealogy research skills. Very often they have none of the above! So instead of focussing on the huge variety of resources that can expand people's current research - I find myself teaching all of the above. But so what? The joy of hearing I found her! outweighs the frustration of wishing people had a better understanding of the basics before embarking on my course. People are excited about the prospect of venturing into family research - and it is often because they have discovered that so much is available on-line. When I started out thirty years ago everything was done via books, or microfiche / film or by visiting the actual archives offices. I had a good grounding in family history research before I ever touched a computer. Most of my skills were learned because I joined a local group and had practical demonstration of what to do (heaven help me - I remember when I first used a microfilm reader, I must have asked the dumbest of questions, and was so fearful of making a mistake). I then had a good grounding in computers before I ever used them for family research. (But the day I set up my first computer at home I got all panicky because I didn't know how to get the program back onto the floppy disk when I finished using it for the day - no such thing as hard drives then, all software was loaded when you wanted to use it). People just starting out now don't have that luxury so of course they are going to ask questions that some people think are not appropriate. Isn't it better for us to gently guide them (although I agree with Mike - it should be off-list) so they learn the correct way of doing things and eventually experience the joy of learning about their forebears than to get all huffy with them so they never learn? If a particular poster really annoys you - set up your email program to automatically delete mail from those people. Problem solved! Just my two penneth worth.

RE: [LegacyUG] Need advice on entering info from crew lists
The way I handle this sort of situation is to create an Employment or Occupation event for the first known instance, then add additional details in the notes. For example, my grandfather was also a Merchant Seaman and I have copies of numerous Discharge papers when he signed off after each voyage. In this case I created an Occupation event (Merchant Seaman) with date/s and name of the ship for the earliest instance – then in the Notes for the event I wrote (in narrative style) about his subsequent ships and employers. I should add I always create Narrative Reports to read in sentence style – not just as a list of events, so this works well for me.

RE: [LegacyUG] One Event - 2 Dates
That's what I do for a lot of Occupation information particularly. I guess the only real problem is if I later find and earlier instance of an occupation - but in that case I just change the date and the subsequent notes. I put the date of the earliest known instance of an occupation in the sentence definition. Then in the Notes I add all other instances - sometimes noting a change of occupation as well. This works for me because I choose to print reports as Narratives with dot point sentences. Just means that some dot points are quite lengthy. But reads nicely in the final report.

RE: [LegacyUG] Automatically create AKA for married women
Sorry to be pedantic Ron, but that is the whole point of my original post. I have a number of women for whom I did add married name AKAs as I went. But I have many others that only have their birth name. In the Index View, with numerous spouses showing across the columns, I can clearly see whether I have added a married name AKA for any particular woman. If, as I scroll through, I find a woman with only one entry but who has one or more husbands listed in the next column(s) I know that I have to create a married name AKA, which I can do by accessing the Individual information screen directly from the Index View. One has to sort by RIN first, so that the names are listed in RIN order rather than alphabetically – that way I can see all instances of, for example RIN 10 e.g. 10 SMITH, Mary Jane 10 ~ BROWN, Mary Jane (Mrs) (because I always add the prefix Mrs for married names) 10 ~ JONES, Mary Jane (Mrs) (if she happens to have more than one husband) If I haven’t yet entered a married name AKA I will see: 10 SMITH, Mary Jane 11 WHITE, George Whosiwhatsit etc. etc. Cheers, Jan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Tuesday, 12 February 2008 10:19:PM To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Automatically create AKA for married women Jan, Certainly you can, and whilst I do not have mine permanently set to show AKAs I do use it from time to time. That is not my point which is: If one has never set the AKAs to include a woman's married name then the AKAs in the index list will show nothing. When one has a large number to enter it is very easy to just enter the name that's on family view and to forget to check how many husbands there have been.

RE: [LegacyUG] Comment about the Source Clipboard
I agree - I NEVER use more than one source on the clipboard as is - but would dearly love to have the option of 'loading' several sources but opting to attach only one. For instance, when I am searching UK Census records on Ancestry.com.au I often find myself switching backwards and forwards between different years as I try follow a family. It would be so much easier to have the source details for five Census years on the clipboard so I could select the one I required for a particular record without having to change the source itself backwards and forwards form one year to another. Cheers, Jan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Davenport Sent: Monday, 11 February 2008 12:59:PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Comment about the Source Clipboard I'm just returning to using Legacy from a fairly long absence. When I checked into using the Source Clipboard (SC) and noticed the 5 tabs, I was hoping that I would be able to paste any or all of the 5 loaded sources into my data. I.e., have a choice of whether I wanted to use SOURCE1, SOURCE3, etc., or maybe even 2 out of the 5. Having to paste *all* of the sources currently loaded in the SC at once seems to be a feature that I would use only rarely, since I rarely have 5 different sources at once that I would use as a source for just one of the fields on the individual's information sheet. The SC would be so much more useful if the user could pick one or more of the 5 loaded sources to paste. The way it is, I see very little reason to ever save a file of 5 different sources for later use. It would also be a better tool if we had the ability to edit all fields of the sources that are loaded into the SC from within the SC. Being able to copy detail source citations into it on the fly would also improve its utility. Now, I would love to hear someone talk me out of this way of thinking and convince me that this is a better tool than it appears to be. I'm not saying it is of *no* use but I do think it could be improved greatly. I would appreciate some examples of how you use this tool to help me better understand it. I have read the help samples and see how it could help in that situation on a temporary basis. I looked at the archives and notice this has been talked about before but it appears to have been a while (I could be wrong :)). Thanks for your thoughts on this issue!

His father and well as 5 generations before him was christened using both a patronymic name plus the family name Vinther.

All his children in all the US records I have found were named Winther. Whether the reason for the missing Vinther at Anton's christening was due to a clerical error or some other reason I don't know, but there is no doubt that Anton perceived him self as a Vinther.

RE: [LegacyUG] Quoted Names
If I put the [CR] in the event definition it works. But sometimes I want to have a carriage return before the event notes (and conversely sometimes I don't - for the same event, but different people). Therefore I don't necessarily want the CR in the definition. The only way it works is if I actually hit ENTER before I start typing the notes. Not a big problem, but I'm certain it used to work as [CR] and I have numerous events entered thus - and now the coded [CR] in the notes shows as CR so I've got to try to find them and replace them. I think I have discovered the culprit in the quoted names issue. Many of my sentence definitions that I have created over time have used [GivenHeShe]. They have always worked correctly, and quoted names have behaved themselves. But it appears that [GivenHeShe] is no longer an option. If I change the definition to [FirstHeShe] everything works as it should. Strangely [GivenHeShe] appears to be working in some instances, but not in others - even for the same event! Go figure! For instance the event about how I celebrated my 21st birthday was fine. I happened to have two parties, but the second event read Janet Kay Jan celebrated ... So now I need to go in and locate and change all instances of the [GivenHeShe] field.

[LegacyUG] Event definitions
Can anyone else replicate the problem I have just discovered with one event definition? To be honest, I am not sure if I created the event from scratch, or if I modified the existing event definition. I am using the latest version of 6 Deluxe. Event – Enlisted If all fields filled (which they are) - [OnDate] [FirstHeShe] enlisted [inDesc] [atPlace].[Sources] [Notes] I know this definition has worked in the past as I have numerous hard copies of reports where it did work. Today when I created a Descendant Narrative Report all events seem to be working (as far as I have found while editing a 120 page report) except this Enlisted event. I did originally have [OnDate] [FirstName] [-EventName] [inDesc] [atPlace].[Sources] [Notes] and the resulting sentence read: On 5 Feb 1942 [FirstName] [-EventName] and nothing more! Remember, in this format it DID work in the past. So, I decided to redefine the event sentence definition, and replaced [-EventName] with the word enlisted because when I checked several other event definitions I don’t appear to have used [-EventName] or [EventName]. I also changed [FirstName] to [FirstHeShe]. Now I get On 5 Feb 1942 Baden enlisted ……nothing more. Cheers, Jan No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adoption Question
I have a two-names-required situation (because of deed poll, not adoption). My late first husband changed his name by deed poll before we met. So I have only known him by his 'chosen' name (which happened to be his mother's maiden name) and our daughter's surname has always been the 'chosen' surname. So in Legacy I have entered him with the surname he legally had all our life together. His siblings are entered with their birth surname - all to the same set of parents. I have recorded his birth name as an AKA, but I have also added a Deed Poll event to explain the situation. So in your case, I would use the surname that the child is known by now and record the other as an AKA - perhaps with notes in an Adoption event to explain the circumstances. Happy New Year!!!

RE: [LegacyUG] Congratulatory letters?
I wouldn't add each letter as an event in its own right though - I would create an event - perhaps 'congratulatory letters' and add the text from all as part of the notes in the sentence definition for the event. After the text of the first letter I would add (in the notes) something like - She also received a letter from xyz which read: ... and then quote the text of that letter. I'd vary the way I introduced each letter, but I'd only use the actual event once.

RE: [LegacyUG] Book printing orientation
I don't think you can do it within Legacy - however, I haven't used the Publishing Centre which allows you to combine charts and narratives. Don't know if it let's you specify that the charts should be landscape for instance. However, if you create an RTF file you can divide your book into sections (Insert Section Next Page) and then alter the page orientation for a single section. Of course, you have to insert another section break at the end of the page / pages you want in landscape. Just make sure, when you change the page set up that you have the cursor in the section you want changed, and that you choose 'This section' in the dialogue box so it doesn't change the orientation for the whole document.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to enter details of adopted children
Not an adopted children situation - but a surname issue just the same. My late first husband was born (let's say) Peter George SMITH. His parents were John SMITH and Jane BLACK, legally married, in a loving relationship that produced three children. When 'Peter' was just three - his second sister not yet born - his father died of blood poisoning. Although his mother remarried some six years later the three children all carried their father's surname. 'Peter' married, had a family and then the marriage broke down. Following a rather nasty divorce he chose to make a new life for himself, complete with a legal name change. By the time I met him he was legally known as (say) Frederick James BLACK. For my entire marriage I was Mrs BLACK, my daughter is Miss BLACK. So I have entered 'Frederick's' parents into Legacy as John SMITH and Jane BLACK, but he is entered as Frederick BLACK. (Of course this is a little more confusing, BLACK being his mother's maiden name.) I have recorded his birth name as an AKA, and in notes. To do otherwise would wrongly give my daughter the surname SMITH, and would show me as Mrs SMITH - I have never been Mrs SMITH, only Mrs BLACK. As Sara says, the primary name must be the name by which the person was / is generally known.

RE: [LegacyUG] Names VS AKA
I agree, there are a number of places in reports where I would love the option of changing wording – some reports seem to have the feature for some wording and not for others, and other reports don’t even have the feature for the same wording. (Descendant Reports for instance – one type has option to change wording re number of children – I can change it to Known children of ……, yet another descendant report type doesn’t give the same option.) However, the other option I mentioned is still an option – create an RTF report and do a search ‘was also known as – and replace each instance with something more appropriate. Unfortunately it would be a bit difficult to do a search and replace because you would probably have to also change the sentence structure. But at least ‘search’ will find all instances quickly.

RE: [LegacyUG] backup methods problems
I think you will find that you can’t backup directly from Legacy to the DVD / CD burner – you will have to back up the multimedia (through Legacy menus) – locate the resulting backup file on your hard drive and burn that file to the CD / DVD.

RE: [LegacyUG] backup methods problems
OK Arnie, Try this. 1. Open Legacy 2. Go to File 3. Select Backup Multimedia files 4. You will see a new, small window with the title Backup Multimedia files to: and it should have in the Save in box the folder Data 5. Give the backup file a name eg. Familyfilename multimedia 15.7.07 (i.e the name that appears in the top of the screen when you open Legacy + multimedia + todays date) Click SAVE Legacy will find all of the pictures you have attached to people and or sources even if they happen to be in different folders on your computer. Warning! Legacy will zip these files, which means it compacts them so they dont take up as much room as the originals. If at some point you do need to use these files because something happens to the originals, or because you want to add them to a Legacy family file on a different computer you will have to unzip them. There are a number of free zip / unzip programs available on the internet. (I use Zip Genius because it is genuinely free for personal use heres the link HYPERLINK http://www.download.com/ZipGenius/3000-2250_4-10460064.htmlhttp://www.down load.com/ZipGenius/3000-2250_4-10460064.html) 6. To save the backup file to your E drive you need to open C Drive, find the Legacy Data folder then copy the zip file you have just made to E drive. I am assuming you have Windows XP (or perhaps Vista) in which there is inbuilt CD writing software. You can use it to write to either a CD or DVD depending on how big the files are.

RE: [LegacyUG] Not sure what to do. Can U help
I just wonder why you would delete the source referencing the person who gave you the information. Why not just add the additional source where you found the same information - to my mind that would do two things - still acknowledge the person who gave you the info in the first place, at the same time giving added strength to the validity of the information because it would show that two sources say the same thing.

RE: [LegacyUG] Not sure what to do. Can U help
In that case I would enter the correct date in the Individual screen, and make a note that *my cousin* had originally provided such and such as the birth date. That date would no longer need a source, because it wouldn't exist in my database any more - but I would still want to remember that there had been an alternative date provided by whoever. In regards to the partial versus full date, I would show in Detail Text that *my cousin* provided 1876 as the birth year, and in Detail Text for the full date source I would show 1/3/1876. That way it would be obvious which part of the date each source is referenced to.

Can U help It's fine to acknowledge the person that originally gave me the information; however, sometimes she gives me month and year or just year of death and then when I look at the SSDI I find the full date. So if I leave the source citing my cousin's information and also the SSDI source, won't that appear that the full date was given to me by my cousin when in fact she only gave me a partial date? That's why I delete her as a source and use the source where I got complete information. Same goes for incorrect information from my cousin. Since she gave me no source for where she got the death date and SSDI has a different date which I believe to be the correct one, to keep her as a source for the SSDI date would be inconsistent with the information she gave me.

RE: [LegacyUG] Fix the MissingSspace in Reports
Well, I tried the hard space ‘fix’ and it didn’t seem to work. Do you have to use the spacebar and then Alt0160 or just Alt0160?

In the some Wording 2 tab in Report settings, instead of a space after the colon, enter what is often referred to as a hard space (Alt 0160, hold down the Alt key and enter 0160 on the numeric keypad). It worked for me and is a lot easier than fixing it in Word or Acrobat. C.G. Ouimet Kingston, ON _ See what's free at HYPERLINK http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF0002000503; \nAOL.com.

In any of the Book reports, there is a missing space after the colon in General Notes:, Birth Notes:, and Death Notes:; i.e., Birth Notes:She was born, etc. I haven't been able to find a place to correct it and have to do a global Replace in my Word document. The same thing happens if I create the report in PDF so I can't send that report to anyone because I'm not able to correct it. Any suggestions how to get that missing space back?
