Keep in mind that both Map My Family and Legacy Mapping use *current* locations, not historical. AniMap uses *historical* locations. You can plot cities/cemeteries/railroads/military/post offices/etc... You search for those locations in a sitefinder, then plot it on the map. It will show you which county of your ancestors were in for a certain time. For instance, my ancestor lived in Lehi, Utah. I use SiteFinder to search for Lehi. I can then plot Lehi on the map, and see which county Lehi was in, in a certain year from 1849, historically. It has a run feature that you can just set, then sit back and watch from year to year. I can record which county they lived in *historically*. I would enter Lehi, Utah, Utah for the location in my database in 1890. It's great for following your ancestors through different cities they lived and *correctly* enter the historical data. It also shows the county seat. I would also recommend you look at Centennia Historical Atlas. I do research in Czechoslovakia. It has so many boundary changes through the years.

RE: [LegacyUG] Date question

If I understand your discussion Dad From: br...@the-lightfoots.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Date question Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:48:54 -0700 The problem is that Legacy does not recognize the word Present as a valid date.

What if you create the record today with the word PRESENT and 10 years later somebody is reading a report generated by your file? The word PRESENT at that time may no longer be truthful thus Legacy is telling you that it is bad. The only truthful thing you can do in your circumstance such as Occupation and Residence is to enter what you really know for sure and that is 02/21/1942 to 08/2010 or from 02/21/1942 to 08/2010.

[LegacyUG] Problem with source reference formatting in PDF descendant book
m having trouble with the positioning of the source reference number in the pdf version of a descendant book. It displays correctly at the end of the sentence in Legacy but when I create a pdf from it the number shifts left and overlaps the text. This makes both the number and the last bit of text difficult to read. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone resolved it? Ive tried the Legacy Support team but they cant recreate it. Ive had it for quite a while and lived with it. Recently done a clean install of 7.4 and still got it. Im running Windows XP and have Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 installed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Date question
Maybe a little more explanation would be in order of why I said that 02/21/1942 has nothing wrong with it. Taken in context, the OP stated Legacy was marking 02/21/1942 - Present as BAD. I stated that it was the word Present that caused Legacy to declare it BAD and not the entry of the date as 02/21/1942. Specifically, if a user were to enter 02/21/1942 all by itself, it would be accepted by Legacy and not marked as BAD. Assuming that the Legacy date format is set to dd-mmm-, you should expect to see Legacy immediately convert it so that it displays as 21 Feb 1942. But almost all genealogists would consider it a bad habit to enter dates in that format and all should try to think in terms of the standard format of day-month-year. Think of it as smallest-middle-biggest. The confusing American practice of 02/21/1942 is middle-smallest-largest. If you ran across an American date entry of 02/04/1942, it probably means 04 Feb 1942 but in the rest of the world, it would work out to 02 Apr 1942. Avoid the confusion and get used to entering dates as dd-mmm-. As Dad stated in his message, it is the acceptable and standard method of entering dates.

Lightfoot [mailto:br...@the-lightfoots.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 9:59 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Date question Maybe a little more explanation would be in order of why I said that 02/21/1942 has nothing wrong with it. Taken in context, the OP stated Legacy was marking 02/21/1942 - Present as BAD. I stated that it was the word Present that caused Legacy to declare it BAD and not the entry of the date as 02/21/1942. Specifically, if a user were to enter 02/21/1942 all by itself, it would be accepted by Legacy and not marked as BAD. Assuming that the Legacy date format is set to dd-mmm-, you should expect to see Legacy immediately convert it so that it displays as 21 Feb 1942. But almost all genealogists would consider it a bad habit to enter dates in that format and all should try to think in terms of the standard format of day-month-year. Think of it as smallest-middle-biggest. The confusing American practice of 02/21/1942 is middle-smallest-largest. If you ran across an American date entry of 02/04/1942, it probably means 04 Feb 1942 but in the rest of the world, it would work out to 02 Apr 1942. Avoid the confusion and get used to entering dates as dd-mmm-. As Dad stated in his message, it is the acceptable and standard method of entering dates.

The acceptable and standard entry for dates in genealogy is 16 Feb 1933 ... anyone using any other method confuses the issue and we stress this is the only way for all concerned world wide to enter dates... If I understand your discussion Dad From: br...@the-lightfoots.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Date question Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:48:54 -0700 The problem is that Legacy does not recognize the word Present as a valid date. I believe that the only word the Legacy recognizes (accepts) is the word unknown (excluding all prefixes). When you stop and think about, you'll realize why the word PRESENT is not valid. What if you create the record today with the word PRESENT and 10 years later somebody is reading a report generated by your file? The word PRESENT at that time may no longer be truthful thus Legacy is telling you that it is bad. The only truthful thing you can do in your circumstance such as Occupation and Residence is to enter what you really know for sure and that is 02/21/1942 to 08/2010 or from 02/21/1942 to 08/2010. Probably not what you wanted to see but the data will remain valid in perpetuity. More info about entering date ranges can be found in the HELP file. Just enter Dates, Ranges in the keyword search. There is nothing wrong with the 02/21/1942 portion of your date. Different users may be seeing this displayed differently on their family file such as with dashes or spaces between the day, the word for the month instead of number, etc, but this is all due to the settings on the DATES tab of Customize Settings. You can avoid discovering these bad dates after-the-fact by turning on Date Checking/Report only unrecognized dates. -Original Message- From: Ronald E Howell [mailto:rehowell0...@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2010 6:34 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Date question I have several events (i.e. Occupation and Residence) in which I use the date as follows: '02/21/1942 - Present'.

RE: [LegacyUG] Date question
More about Dates.. I thought that the only permissible word in a Legacy date field was the word unknown. Until I found this little gem in the Legacy Help File: You can also enter the following words into any date field: dead, deceased, child, infant, stillborn and young. Huh? That was news to me. I've often wondered about how should one handle a case of a young child whose birth date may have been known but the only info for a death date was something from a Family Bible that was akin to died as an infant, etc. So I checked this out within Legacy on a test individual. I entered a normal birth date but for a death date I entered the word infant. Surprisingly Legacy immediately changed it to Infant (with a capital letter I) which told me that Legacy accepted the word. I wondered how this would look in a report and here is what that would look like: Surprise Arizona, son of WhereAmI Arizona and Mary Test, was born on 17 Aug 2010 and died as an infant. In other words, just having the word Infant in the date results in the wording that one would want to see in a report. I tested the other words under various circumstances and the report wording is quite acceptable. Darn. Learn something new every day! Maybe it was just me that was ignorant of these little date words but I thought I'd still post the info just in case others might find it beneficial. Brian in CA Still learning...

Re: [LegacyUG] Date question
To correct a possible misunderstanding. People (me included) reccommend not putting Unknown into name fields. Since the program autofills empty fields on the screen, I prefer the printouts to have a blank area to eventually write in, when data is found, instead of crossing out unknown on the printout. Either way works just as well. The other words, as Kathy found, are hardcoded in the program, to use 'conventions' as used by major organizations (LDS, DAR, SAR) . It is all a choice, not a rule.

[LegacyUG] Legacy (Families) program for iPhone
Hello all, and am I the only one having trouble with the Legacy Families program? Maybe I've done it wrong, but I have just gone through many hours of the most convoluted downloading procedure I have ever encounted. For starters, I received an email which stated Use this coupon for 10% off your entire order in the Legacy Family Tree Online store: 10off. Underneath this it mentioned Legacy for iPhones etc. That seemed like a good idea, I'll go buy it...but after much searching I found out it is not at the store...it is at iTunes. That's where my trouble began, many hours of clicking, downloading, and god knows what else, I finally ended up with the Families program on my computer and on my iPhone. Now it wants me to wifi sync or something, so as to put my Legacy file into 'Families' on my iPhone. At the moment all I have in 'Families' is the Kennedy family. I don't have wifi...so does anybody know of another way to get Legacy onto my iPhone using the USB? Hope this makes sense to someone, because I've just about lost all of mine.
