[LegacyUG] Legacy user group
I did not know if this is the place to post, if not can someone redirect? I still have an interest in forming a legacy user group on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy user group
According to the Legacy web site under Help CenterUser GroupsForming a Group, you are in the right place. Perhaps there may be a more efficient way to form new user groups. It might be done with a roster of interested users by locality but privacy concerns may make that prohibitive. One thing that our family association has done is use Google Hangouts and our gathering is on the internet from various parts of the world. Google Hangouts allows for the session to be recorded so that it can be viewed later with YouTube so those who could not attend can still watch it at their leisure. Others may want to watch recorded sessions again or refer their friends to view them. Note also that many user groups are listed. Learning from one another is how I have picked up many useful techniques.

Re: [LegacyUG] How much information is too much
Yes. Definitely continue. Do not be discouraged by the current lack of interest of your daughters or cousins. Continue adding every scrap of data you find about family members, near and distant, especially details that add life to your records. I have historical sources, such as: The Great Meadow, Farmers and the Land in Colonial Concord by Brian Donahue (2004) has detailed data about various Hartwel family members. Google books brought up fascinating data about individuals in various professions.

I am sure of these sources and they date before 1775. I also have an agricultural survey, it is of some interest to me and is included for someone look up if they wish.

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse
Jay: I am not sure that I understand what you were saying but it makes me want to add information and to try something. Maybe that is my problem. My tree is basically a descendancy tree coming down from the 1650s to my grandchildren but I am the root person for the preferred line (none of my children or grandchildren are in bold type).

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse
I am having trouble following this, Jay. The Help text is not very clear, but the focus is on preferred child, not spouse. When you set direct line ancestors as preferred, my understanding is that it marks individuals. This allows these individuals to appear bolded in certain situation, like in the name list and in the children list shown in Family view. Are you saying that setting direct line ancestors also marks preferred spouses, overriding any explicitly marked preferred spouse of an individual? Likewise, does it mark preferred parents, overriding any explicitly set preferred parents? (Even if so, if the explicit settings are made after setting the direct line, then they should stick, I would think.) We’ve established that when you navigate from a child to a parent, you get the preferred set of parents for that child, regardless of which spouse is set as the preferred spouse. But that should be the only case. When you navigate from a couple to a child, you should always see that child’s preferred parents and preferred spouse. Same if you navigate to an individual from the name list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Donating Legacy DB and Genealogy Files
In my experience, libraries (including the Family History Library in Salt Lake City) and archives (for example, Maryland State Archives) are eager to have a copy of your printed genealogy BOOK. Of course that involves printing, binding, shipping. Although the FHL used to prefer an unbound copy and they'd scan it then bind it themselves, check to see if that's still true. (Of course you could include a CD _with_ the book.) FHL wants a donation/permission form. As for donating your database -- you could do that to RootsWeb or FamilySearch if you prefer non-commercial sites, or ancestry.com which is a pay site. There are dozens of smaller sites each with their own policies. Myself, I am thinking RootsWeb and FamilySearch.

Re: [LegacyUG] Donating Legacy DB and Genealogy Files
The Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, will accept donations of genealogical material regarding deceased individuals in either paper or electronic form.You could send the a copy of your file after having deleted all information on living individuals. Also, if you bring them paper documents such as pension records, they will scan them and return them to you along with a DVD of the scans. Turnaround time is slow, though, unless you schedule the scan session far in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse
Jay sent me an e-mail off-list with screenshots. It does seem to confirm that setting direct line ancestors can change a preferred spouse for those ancestors. So the lesson is, set your preferred line first, then make any individual adjustments after. (In typical scenarios such as setting the root person as yourself, there would be no conflict.) From: Ward Walker Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2013 11:26 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse I am having trouble following this, Jay. The Help text is not very clear, but the focus is on preferred child, not spouse. When you set direct line ancestors as preferred, my understanding is that it marks individuals. This allows these individuals to appear bolded in certain situation, like in the name list and in the children list shown in Family view. Are you saying that setting direct line ancestors also marks preferred spouses, overriding any explicitly marked preferred spouse of an individual? Likewise, does it mark preferred parents, overriding any explicitly set preferred parents? (Even if so, if the explicit settings are made after setting the direct line, then they should stick, I would think.) We’ve established that when you navigate from a child to a parent, you get the preferred set of parents for that child, regardless of which spouse is set as the preferred spouse. But that should be the only case. When you navigate from a couple to a child, you should always see that child’s preferred parents and preferred spouse. Same if you navigate to an individual from the name list.
