[LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
Is there any way of re-organising the order in which the List Style formatting of the Events displays in the reports? At the moment it displays in columns Event Name - Description - Date - Location I'd like to be able to move Description after Location so that I have Event Name - Date - Location - Description Is this possible? If so, where am I missing the (probably obvious) settings for this to happen?

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting
If you use the List Style formatting, you can't change the order, per Sherry. I have done something similar to what you are asking for using the Sentence Style formatting. It doesn't put things in columns, but I have fiddled with the sentence definitions to add spaces to approximate a column for the event name and have the date lined up with the location and description following in the same column..

Re: [LegacyUG] Explanation, please?
Cheryl, To get the AFN field to appear in family view, right click on any of the labels (born, died, etc) and a Customize Family View Information screen will pop up. Then in the last field click on the button with three dots in it and you can select which field to display, there you will find in the list Ancestral File Number highlight and click on select to put that on that line. When you open the individual that AFN is also one of the fields that show at the bottom of their edit screen along with their FamilySearch ID and User ID if one was created. You could also do a search for the AFN and then tag those individuals that have an AFN number. -Original Message- From: singhals Sent: Friday, September 06, 2013 2:24 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Explanation, please?

Re: [LegacyUG] Conditional Sentence Definitions
Great Idea!! I may use that in several places where the maiden name is used where I would prefer to see her married name. Sometimes the answer is so simple, Less is More.

Re: [LegacyUG] default 4-part location - city, county, state, country
You only have to fix the locations once in the Master Location List to have the fixed location used by all the people and events. Go to View Master Lists Location to open that list. I will let you decide, based on your own evaluation of the need, whether you will change all your locations to 4 part. My ancestors came from Ireland and Wales to Canada and all those countries do not use 4 levels of governmental administration for locations. I do have American relatives and for US locations the 4 levels are appropriate. I use a mix of levels appropriate to the country. If I want to check a location in the Geo database for Canadian, Ireland or Wales locations I will temporarily edit the location to fit the 4 levels, make my check, then revert to the usual number of levels for that country. These temporary edits are easy from the Master Location List. The US County verifier needs 4 levels but I use those for US locations anyway so the verifier works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Explanation, please?
You can also find all records with a Modified date after the time you merged them in and use that to tag and delete.

The GED was inserted into a brand-new database. ONLY the people from the GED and those added since are in there. I followed Mike's hint about various notes, and then poked around in the HELP files, and am still coming up blank on where Legacy has put these. Boyd's suggestion to re-export and be more careful in what I export is mostly likely to be the answer, but I can, maybe, GED out of Legacy and delete this stuff from there. Or at the VERY least find out where Legacy has it hidden. (g) Cheryl Ron Taylor wrote: Did the data you wish to keep also have Custom ID numbers? I assume you mean UserID numbers. If only the imported data had those UserID numbers, you could select for UserID not equal blank and then delete them. Same logic for the description of individual you mentioned.

To do some arcane sorting and family-building, a couple months ago I exported part of a large database from PAF5 to Legacy (free v). The GED contained without my noticing it in time to fix it before import data in the PAF fields for description of individual and the AFN, as well as a Custom ID. That is now causing me grief, as the description and the AFN are in many of the reports Legacy creates ... and I can't find them to delete the content IN Legacy. The information is extraneous for my purpose here. So, I took the database over to the FHC to see if I could delete them there using the paid v. Still couldn't see them to delete. So -- how do I get rid of these without having to edit the output manually?

Re: [LegacyUG] default 4-part location - city, county, state, country
Brian, It is a great shame that Legacy gives the impression that the 4 field convention is universal, when it definitely is not. I do wish that the Help files would make this clear. As a Brit, I work pretty much as yourself and without problem, but long ago gave up using the geolocator, except for the US, as Google Maps, and even Bing are far better. I also have an excellent set of gazetteers.

Re: [LegacyUG] default 4-part location - city, county, state, country
Thanks Brian. I think I'll wait and see how the Origins and Migrations report deals with the 3 part place names before I make any final decision about place names. I do have the option at least of putting in an electoral district as county for Australian locations, but the problem there is that federal elections have different electoral districts to state elections, and they both can change over time. On 7 September 2013 06:13, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: You only have to fix the locations once in the Master Location List to have the fixed location used by all the people and events. Go to View Master Lists Location to open that list. I will let you decide, based on your own evaluation of the need, whether you will change all your locations to 4 part. My ancestors came from Ireland and Wales to Canada and all those countries do not use 4 levels of governmental administration for locations. I do have American relatives and for US locations the 4 levels are appropriate. I use a mix of levels appropriate to the country. If I want to check a location in the Geo database for Canadian, Ireland or Wales locations I will temporarily edit the location to fit the 4 levels, make my check, then revert to the usual number of levels for that country. These temporary edits are easy from the Master Location List. The US County verifier needs 4 levels but I use those for US locations anyway so the verifier works.

[LegacyUG] Last modified date reset on update
Hello all. Last week I updated to the latest version of Legacy (Deluxe) 7.5.0.270. I have noticed that the modified date for my entire database was reset to the day that I updated, which in my case was 8/29/13. Did anyone else experience this? Is it reversible?

Re: [LegacyUG] Conditional Sentence Definitions
Remember that there may be multiple marriages so Legacy would not know which marriage to pick as the source for the married surname where a person has multiple marriages if we allowed marriage type fields with individual events. Good point there Brian - I hadn't thought of that as I do not have that many women re-marrying - men yes, women only a handful that I can think of. But in that handful, one woman comes to mind, where the preferred spouse is the direct line, but the name at death is a subsequent marriage. How would I tell Legacy I don't want the preferred spouse surname - it just gets more complicated from there. A Ron pointed out too - the married surname can be inferred from other data details. Thanks everyone - back to the sentence construction for me - with a rethink of how I want the sentence written. On 7 September 2013 05:50, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: I admit at the start that I have not tried this but there is one rule in the event sentence definition Help that indicates there may be no way to have a death notice event for a woman use her married surname. Here is a quote from the help. Note: Some [fields] are meant to be used for individual events and others for marriage events. The fields for marriage events include: [CoupleFirstNames] [HusbFirstName] [HusbFullName] ... any fields beginning with [Husb [WifeFirstName] [WifeFullName] ... any fields beginning with [Wife [MRIN] If these are put into individual events, they would not always make sense. For example, using [HusbFullName] in the sentence for a woman that was never married, or was married more than once, would not result in a name. Legacy can't just remove the field, or leave it unchanged in these cases, so it should not be used. When Legacy finds a marriage-type name field in an individual event sentence, like [HusbFullName], it just returns the current individual's name information...even if that person is a female. [WifeMarriedSurname] is one of the marriage fields not allowed in an individual event sentence. By this rule. The married surname of a woman is stored with the marriage information for the couple so it is not available for use when creating a sentence for an event for the individual. Remember that there may be multiple marriages so Legacy would not know which marriage to pick as the source for the married surname where a person has multiple marriages if we allowed marriage type fields with individual events.

I have an event Death Notice - everyone is likely to have one (no-one is immortal afterall) Because females typically change their surname at the time of their marriage, death notices are usually published in the married name rather than the maiden name. Males usually don't change their surname. As such, what I want my sentence to do for my Death Notice event is to produce one of two possibilities. For males and unmarried females - use the preferred given name and surname For married woman - use the preferred given name but use the married surname As an example... Jane Doe, dies unmarried on 1 Jan 1900, death notice is published on 2 Jan 1900 in The Newspaper. The sentence should read roughly like On 2 Jan 1900, the death notice for Jane Doe appeared in The Newspaper. (any notes)(sources) However, if Jane Doe had married John Blow at some point, then her death notice sentence should read On 2 Jan 1900, the death notice for Jane Blow appeared in The Newspaper. A male would have the same sentence result regardless of marital status due to no change of name. I know that there are some Conditional things that can be written in to the Sentence Definitions (living vs deceased words, buried vs cremated), but I can't figure out the [:: :: ] combo for this sentence to work. Anyone know how I can achieve this, or am I currently asking too much of the program? Thanks.

[LegacyUG] Relationship calculator print
I recently added a database of my wife's maternal family, a database that originally got me interested in genealogy. I notice that there were some familiar surnames that seemed to related to a 3rd cousin of mine that I had found last year. I tracked these names through FS and other sources and BINGO, she turned out to be my wife's 6th cousin. Now, when I try to create a text file of the relationship calculator I get a runtime 0005 error and the program crashes. I tried this twice with the same result. Has anyone encountered this and is there is solution? What I what to do is put this relationship plus my relationship on my blog so I need a text document that I can play with to format. There doesn't seem to be a report for this. Any thoughts or advice gratefully received.

Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship calculator print
Just fixed my own problem. There was little button that referred to the current relationship that needed to be checked. The default is all relationships and that is too much to for the system when you have 30,000 in the db. It takes long enough for Legacy to work through all those people just to do the relationship between the two highlighted people.

Re: [LegacyUG] Last modified date reset on update
I confirm there is a problem with the Modified Date being reset recently. Of 240,000 individuals, there are about 210,000 of them with Modified Date after 8/15/2013 which is when version 7.5.0.268 was released. I'm not sure why 30,000 did not get changed but only about 600 of those have Modified Date before 7/1/2013. I am absolutely certain that the file was not changed or imported.
