Re: [LegacyUG] Quarter Dates

2011-12-30 Thread gen_quest
Many thanks to all of you who answered my query.   Colin's response however was 
closest to my current way of thinking.

Christine


I use a registration event and put something like Sep 1841 in the date
field.  The full sentence reads:

[HisHer] birth was registered during the quarter ended [Date] at the
[~Place], with GRO reference [Desc] [Notes].[Sources]

I put something like vol 2b, page 234 in the Desc field and only use
the notes for clarifying any uncertainties.  I have special locations
xx Registration District only used for registrations so I can
separate people registered in Sheffield Registration District from
people born in Sheffield, for example.

In the birth field I just insert a date equal to the registration year,
unless the registration was in the first quarter, when I use Abt .

I have asked Legacy for a change to the Sentence definitions so we could
use:

[DateQuarter] which would take a date in the form Dec 1854 and expand
to the December Quarter 1854

[~DateQuarter] which would expand the date to the Dec Quarter 1854

[DateQ] which would expand the date to 4Q 1854

However, I'm not holding my breath.

Apologies, I should have thanked both Colin and Tony.   Tony's way requires a 
little more work but a registration is after all an event so it seems to make 
more sense to me than putting the quarter date into the date field.

Go to the first person. Use the + button beside their burial and enter a
burial address. Enter the notes for that address.
Go to anyone else buried at the same address.
Use the + button beside their burial and select the burial address.
On the address entry screen use the Address List button to open the list
of current Event Addresses.
Select the Address you entered and click select to link that address to

I believe you are both discussing *different* Notes.  Brian is
referring to the Notes for the Location, whereas Robert is referring
to the Notes for the individual's Burial.

Directions for getting to the cemetery would be more appropriate in
the cemetery's Location Notes.  Directions for getting to the
gravestone would be in the individual's Burial Notes.

Dave, your comments lead me to more questions.  I noticed before that
when you click on the large + symbol next to BURIAL LOCATION to open up
that dialog, you can enter a BURIAL ADDRESS (cemetery ?) and you can
also click on Burial Notes, Burial Pictures and Cremated at the point.

However, if you click on Burial Address, you also have a NOTES tab from
that window and apparently these notes don't show up in the same place.

What is the intention here, if anyone knows of having two different
notes that are available as part of the Burial information, yet do not
seem to end up in the same place?

Where are these notes ever visible in the edit mode without having to
CLICK on the + sign.  Rather confusing setup, when you think about it.

What do you mean by can be shared?  When I put text into one of the

The Burial Address, with the notes for that address can be shared

 There are two separate tables we are dealing with. When you enter text
 in a Burial Note (click the + and then Burial Notes) the text goes in
 tblIR.BuriedNote (the individual's rcd). When you click the + and then
 Burial Address, and then enter an address and a note, the address and
 note are stored in tblAR (address rcd). An address rcd can be shared.
 For example, if all the children in a family are baptized at St. James
 Church, you would enter an address for St. James for the 1st child, then
 for subsequent children you would click the +, Baptism Address, then
 click the Address List button and select St. James from the listbox.

If you don't want to rely on access to the Internet (while traveling with your

2011-12-30 Thread CE Wood
If you backup your file after every use, the backup file name will include the 
date and time of the backup, so you can immediately know which is the latest 
backup.  Then, open that one.

Also, your FDB file in the Legacy\Data directory always has the date and time 
of your last modification, so you can always find out by comparing that 
directory on each computer.

RE: [LegacyUG] Search for marriage date without day and month

2011-12-30 Thread Jennifer Crockett
Not exactly what I wanted, Mark. I have many marriage dates, usually between 
1915 and 1936 where I know the year, but not the date and month. I want only 
those without the date and month, but with the year.

If I could do that, I would want to move on to deaths and the period would be 
1915-1964.

Jennifer

OK, but if you broke your searches into smaller groups and scanned the results 
list of these groups, you would eventually be able to note the records you want 
this way. May take a fraction longer.

I just tried my way again this time using
Individual - Any Date - Before - 1893 AND
Individual - Any Date - After - 1891

And the result included both those with dates such as 1892 and 16 May 1892 BUT 
you had to scroll the list to see which ones were without Day and Months.

You may just have to eat that elephant one bite at a time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Search for marriage date without day and month

2011-12-30 Thread Jennifer Crockett
Yes, I did it that way. It wasn't too bad as there wasn't a huge number.

*** The rest is Off Topic but of interest to users with Queensland research.

The reason I wanted to do it is that I just found out you can get the exact 
date if you don't know it by using the online BDMs which show only the year 
when you search. I have been doing this for a while with the New Zealand online 
BDMs, but didn't think to try it with the Qld ones. It is time consuming, but 
if you badly want to know and don't want to look at the microfiche somewhere, 
it can be done.

Say you have a date of 1920. You put into the search boxes Search from 
01/01/1920 to 31/12/1920 and Submit. Then break it down to 01/06/1920 - 
31/12/1920 and if that still gets a result when you submit, change the month 
till you get no result; go back to the month with a result (Say 01/06/1920 - 
30/06/1920) and start changing the days till you get a result of say, 
16/06/1920-16/16/1920.

Jennifer
