RE: [LegacyUG] Help files
Betty, I came also from the FTM background before using Legacy. I used FTM from version 6 through to FTM2005. When I tried the upgrade to FTM2008 I realised it was a major backward step as it dropped some major functionality I had been using on a regular basis. I switched to Legacy and found there was a learning curve in order to use it fully. It was at this point I realised I had a similar learning curve when I first used FTM, so I persevered. I have found Legacy to have more functionality than the FTM versions I had used and it lent itself to a better discipline in standardisation of sources and locations. For me, the learning curve was well worth the trip.

Legacy sounded good, and the good things I like, but as someone said 'I would rather be doing genealogy than learning how to program Legacy.' I will be bored silly going through 'just the 6th' video most of which I know or I'm not interested in and won't rem anyway; I would need to go through them again NEXT TIME I have a question. Don't suppose those videos have an index of their content? Will they tell me the purpose of RINs and MRINs and if I must use them. I think I saw somewhere that the answer is yes. Why reports print with 'born on Jan 3, 1873' died on Sep 8, 1828...? When you're reading a long report the ONs really pop. Doubt if there is a way to delete them unless it’s done manually, if that’s possible. I would like to find what I want to know when I want to know about it - like an online index - one might expect to find in Help. It seems that there are 'correct words' when you're searching for something, and I think it was you who told me - about another problem that may have been 'married someone Jane Doe' thing in a report - that things had to be entered in a certain order! That was a shocker, is it in videos? Too bad there isn't a standard Legacy edition that's complete and ready to use for those of us who just want to enter our family files with the good features, and then leave the in-the-works edition that can be tweaked to suit your multitude of interests for the nitty-gritty-look-under-every-leaf folks who are into that. This UG seems to be the only place to get answers, but frequently they come with the ‘you should have known that’ attitude. When I google, I only get Legacy sites. When I search the archives I get a collection of unrelated to the subject entries. They seem to be sorted by subject not by content, so what I’m looking for may be in some unrelated subject that doesn't pull up. Seems there just isn’t a good place to find a quick answer? We need a Legacy for Dummies book – online. Those books don’t usually assume you already know answers to everything leading up to your question, AND they have an index. I'm thinking when I finish this, nearly done 2,000 people project, I will need to copy the report into Word and edit it. If that's possible. I have to print a report for the man who doesn't use a computer, otherwise some of these 'problems' I have might not exist. Frustrated? Yes.

As some of the things you are looking for are really rather basic you might find it helpful to take a step back and do some general learning to broaden your knowledge of the program. This may seem time-consuming when you are wanting to get on with entering your family members and sharing Reports, but it really will save you time - and frustration! - in the long run. For example, if you worked through the Tutorials (see the Content menu under Help) you would have learned all about the Marriage Information screen, including indicating that a couple had no children, in just the 6th exercise. There are also a good selection of tutorial Videos available.

Seriously though, I think that we should realise that for a newcomer to the program, Legacy does have a pretty steep learning curve – and with all the new stuff it’s getting steeper. Even 10 years or so ago, when I first used the program, I did, like Jenny, spend quite some time messing around, and right and left clicking just about everything I thought clickable. When I had some idea as to how it worked then I stopped using the Sample files, and started to put my own stuff in. It is not unreasonable to expect someone to have looked at the Help Files before asking a question on the List, but like for the OP of this thread, sometimes the required answer does not pop up, or if it does it is not clear. Or it may be that what one wishes to do cannot be done, but without asking the question one will never know. I admit to being one of those who is more likely than not to give a brief answer, maybe just showing the path to finding a facility that is needed, in the belief that a person best learns by following the process through rather than being spoon fed and remembering nothing. It certainly is not because I wish to give the impression “that you should have known this”. It is always open to the poster to come back for details, and, indeed, I deal with many follow-ups off-list.

Lyn, if you are using Vista or Windows 7 and you used the recommended default settings by installing Legacy on your C drive into c:\Legacy, then there is a way out for you. Download Shadow Explorer from http://www.shadowexplorer.com/downloads.html Run this and it will display an explorer When you run it, select the c drive and you should see a drop down list of shadow copy dates that windows uses for system restores. Select an earlier date and drill down to Legacy\data to find your Legacy file. Right mouse click on the file and choose export Select a drive folder from the next window as a place to save it.

Simply right click on it and you should be presented with a menu, however, failing that simply double click on the recycle bin.

Instead, a pointer was changed rendering that file invisible to the operating system. However, the longer you wait from the time of the files deletion, the greater the chances of it being overwritten by other data or files.

RE: [LegacyUG] Two files open ?
I have Legacy open. I go to Split View and display two different families. I am trying to display the Name List on both for comparison. Possible? How? I have not been able to do it yet. While I often prefer the name list, when I want to compare two files I use the descendant view. There I can alternate which one is live, and get both files showing the same section of the file. It is a little cumbersome, and the scroll bar usually sends you back to the top, but you can often defeat that problem. But two files open - not that I know of.

[LegacyUG] Source Writer templates for Ireland's 1901 and 1911 censuses?
Are there Source Writer templates for Ireland's 1901 and 1911 censuses (or perhaps coming soon)? I thought I had read about them in Legacy News, but after searching through past topics I wonder if I'm mixing them up with Scotland. Thanks!

Re: [LegacyUG] Two files open ?
It is not possible to have the Name List open in both files but you can use the Index View in both files to see the names. Descendant View, as Carl suggests also works but not for everyone in the file.
