[LegacyUG] Running reports on extremely large files
I'm trying to get an enhanced name list report, from a family file containing 46,954 individuals, spread over 16,575 families. I keep getting out of memory errors, before the report completes. I'm running Legacy 8.0.0.459, on Windows 8.1, on an Intel core i5 machine with 16g of main memory. I also have the latest build of Legacy 7.5 available, if that would work better. Note I converted this file via GEDCOM from a FTM file, when FTM 2014 was not up to this task. After I get this completed, I need to tackle a descendent report on a file containing 160k individuals. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Families App to Share Information with Family
I just got an Android tablet and added Families to it so I can use my family file when mobile. One feature I discovered is that the Families sync program you load on your computer to sync your Legacy data with Families will convert your file to the SQLite format used by Families independent of syncing with an attached or connected device. You should then be able to send your daughters a copy of that file so they can load it unto their IOS devices. My version is the Windows one. I have not tried this and I do not have a Mac so I cannot even confirm that the Mac version of the Families Sync program will contain the same feature. Start the Families Sync program on your Mac and look for a convert family file tab.

Re: [LegacyUG] Running reports on extremely large files
Bob, Try creating a gedcom and filter out any data you do not need for your report. Maybe just include the dates and locations, but filter out any events or attached media or other items. Then use that gedcom to create a new Legacy file, which hopefully will then complete without a memory full error.

[LegacyUG] Location report by surname or by state

For example, I plan a trip to the Kentucky History Center and would like to get a list of all the surnames I have in that state. Surely there is a simple way to do this, but i cannot figure it out. I have done a location report and i see that I can print it, but I have not done a very good job on inputting my locations. Some have the state first and some have the township or county first. I have tried to clean up the list but it would take years. I also tried to do a search (detailed search option), but it asks for a tag and I am not working with tags, but with locations. And I don't want each person, but only each surname. This probably isn't clear (I get that comment a lot) but what I wish to do is get a list of surnames that have any event, birth, death, marriage, whatever, in the state of Kentucky. It would be nice if it could be further delineated by county, but at least by state. Thanks. Jane S.

Re: [LegacyUG] Can someone please tell me how to include all spouses when creating a gedcom
Not realising there was a problem with exporting a Focus Group via gedcom, I created one recently. It seemed OK because (unlike Pat and Brian's experience) most of the Spouses are there. Looking again, the gaps seem to be mainly (though not always) with multiple marriages, e.g. my brothers and I have been transferred, but our mother (a 2nd wife) has not.My great-aunt-by-marriage was married 3 times, all husbands appear. Great-aunt's mother married twice - all her children appear OK, but both husbands are missing. A generation further back, a man who married 3 times - all his children appear, but none of his wives; and spouse icon shows 2, I assume because the third wife was childless. In short, I can't make sense of what is happening. The bottom line - I desperately need to send my updated file to a cousin with Family Tree Maker - what can I do? Is there another avenue?

Re: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list
Jane I think the best practice (but that's just my 2 cents) would be to include the country. My ancestors came late to this country any time from 1855 to 1920 time-frame. When you think of many places (especially in the USA) you know that the town or city could be in more than one State (and the same thing happens for places in different countries). Why not be specific - spell out the places as they appeared during the event AND then your short form location can be anything you want. And while some use United States, I use USA. Finally, when you input your data realize that you can always sort your master location however you choose (it is a tab right there in the master location list). Sometimes when I need to find things - I play around you can do a couple of different ways or do a custom sort.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list
I agree about the country. My last ancestor to come to this country came during the Rev War and many came in the 1600's, but all those early ones were born elsewhere, so it would throw the whole thing off when you put in their birth country. I am plunging on with the township/town, county, state, USA thing. Thank you for your input.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list
NOT to pick on Jane, but as someone easily confused by the entire concept of township -- In the Name of ALL that's Holy, would those of you familiar with them PLEASE SPECIFY when you're naming townships not towns and include the freaking county? I've seen way too many locations given as Coal twp, Penn or Coal, PA. Since there isn't a Coal county, and I'm not finding a town named Coal, then it must be something else instead, but who is paging through every county in Pennsylvania to find the 3 or 4 that have a Coal twp? Pet Peeve # 42. Cheryl Jane Sarles wrote: I agree about the country.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list
Hi Jane. You can use the SEARCH and REPLACE function in Legacy to clean up your location lists (short or long) such as changing USA to United States or whatever you are attempting to do. I've used that method many times. Just do it carefully, back up and test by doing a single instance only, for example, till you know it does what you want. Sometimes a couple pass-throughs are needed. Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org On 12/30/2014 3:13 PM, Jane Sarles wrote: I don't suppose there is a short cut to adding USA to location entries?

RE: [LegacyUG] Location report by surname or by state
Great Idea, Tessa.

You should easily see which pages of your PDF you might need to print and work with - you should also have the counties, cities and individuals/surnames that way. Hope that helps (just tried it and it worked for me).

Then you can look at the list or print it out - only grab surnames or grab the basic details on each person. Best of luck. I guess this is why it is a good idea to spring clean your master location list (I go through mine twice a year to catch errors) and I do make a point to spell out the city/town, county, state/province, and country. It does make things somewhat easier when you want to use your database if you think about data input and data output. There might be an easier or quicker way, but that is how I did it.

For example, I plan a trip to the Kentucky History Center and would like to get a list of all the surnames I have in that state. Surely there is a simple way to do this, but i cannot figure it out. Many unique Legacy tasks can be accomplished by exporting to a temporary database. To do what you want I would use the Master Location list and tag all individuals for the specific location -- sorting the locations right-to-left should put them all together to make this task easier. Then I would export those tagged individuals to a new temporary database. Open that database. Go to the Master Surname list and purge unused surnames. This should leave you with the surnames for that specific location. The way you have your locations formatted may impact this but perhaps something along these lines will do the job. Just ensure you don't get the temporary database confused with your real one, and do delete the temporary one after it has served its purpose. Hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] Scandinavian locations...
and speaking of proper sequencing of locations, anyone there with Finnish lineage? As you may know it wasn't until about 1923 that the government of Finland made it mandatory to have only one surname. Up until then every time a person moved from farm to farm (and this sometimes was frequent) the new farm name was taken as a surname. This, alone, could present a problem. What surname to use? I use the last name known, although sometimes I might enter it like this: Tarvainen/Pajunen/Matson. Then, regarding the towns or villages they might have lived in, I'll use the last village known and enter the other towns/villages in the Notes. How do others of you with Finnish and maybe Swedish naming systems handle this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Scandinavian locations...
I have not found any Scandinavian ancestors of my own but some ancestors have changed names for various reasons e.g. after immigrating. I think the most important thing is to decide on a system and then be consistent. My way is to use their name at birth as their main name in my database (even if it was only used for a relatively short period of time). Other names are added as alias / a.k.a. I also add an “event” for every known change of residence/ location and I use notes to add any other information or explanations. John From: W.

Sometimes a couple pass-throughs are needed. Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org On 12/30/2014 3:13 PM, Jane Sarles wrote: I don't suppose there is a short cut to adding USA to location entries?

Re: [LegacyUG] Scandinavian locations...
I have Swedish and Norwegian ancestors and I use the patronymic name as their surname (that is what is listed on their birth and baptism register) and the farm name is included in the title suffix. When you see the individual in the name list it will read (for instance) Andreas Arntsen, Husbynmoen (and I can see this in the list or in the family view (as well as all the various views). I include as an event when they move to a new farm. That way I have both a date and it goes into their timeline. I consider the events in Legacy to be event, fact, etc. - that way everything is in chronological order. Believe this list is no attachments - if any of you are on Google+ our Legacy Virtual Users' Group community will have examples to see what this looks like in practice.

My way is to use their name at birth as their main name in my database (even if it was only used for a relatively short period of time). Other names are added as alias / a.k.a. I also add an “event” for every known change of residence/ location and I use notes to add any other information or explanations. John From: W. Bruce Matson Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 9:22 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Scandinavian locations... and speaking of proper sequencing of locations, anyone there with Finnish lineage? As you may know it wasn't until about 1923 that the government of Finland made it mandatory to have only one surname. Up until then every time a person moved from farm to farm (and this sometimes was frequent) the new farm name was taken as a surname. This, alone, could present a problem. What surname to use? I use the last name known, although sometimes I might enter it like this: Tarvainen/Pajunen/Matson. Then, regarding the towns or villages they might have lived in, I'll use the last village known and enter the other towns/villages in the Notes. How do others of you with Finnish and maybe Swedish naming systems handle this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Can someone please tell me how to include all spouses when creating a gedcom
Use search Find Miscellaneous tab You can select to search using a focus group Create the search list The search list will include all the correct people with the spouses. You can scan the list to check the problem people with multiple spouses to check that all their spouses are in the list. Close the search list When you export the GEDCOM Click the Record selection button Select the Selected records in the focus group Click on Edit the focus group Clear the list to remove the Descendants Use the Add the Current search list button to add the people in the search list instead of the descendants. OK Close and export Now you should get all the correct spouses.

Great-aunt's mother married twice - all her children appear OK, but both husbands are missing. A generation further back, a man who married 3 times - all his children appear, but none of his wives; and spouse icon shows 2, I assume because the third wife was childless. In short, I can't make sense of what is happening. The bottom line - I desperately need to send my updated file to a cousin with Family Tree Maker - what can I do? Is there another avenue?

[LegacyUG] Citing a college yearbook
I found my mother in her college yearbook in a database on Ancestry. The yearbook gives her address in a listing of all students so I would like to cite it as a source for her residence at that time. I am perplexed as to what I should choose in the Source Writer. Artifact, book, periodical, and school record are all types I have considered. Ancestry doesn't provide a citation for the yearbook, just for the database U.S. School Yearbooks, 1880-2012, although it does give the name of the college and the title of the yearbook. Should I page through the yearbook images until I get to the title page, and cite it as a book? But I don't have the book, I just have an online image accessed through Ancestry, and I thought you were supposed to cite what you have in your hand.

RE: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list
Jane, I ALWAYS enter my locations with city, county, state so my example may not work as well for you but I used 'Search and Replace' to add USA to the end of a particular state and it worked perfectly. Since there are only 50 states, it wouldn't take but a few minutes to add USA to the end of each state. Plus, it is unlikely you have entries for all 50 states so it should go even faster! :-) We can't attach images to the list or I'd attach a screen shot of the Search and Replace Window so you could see the settings but the following will hopefully describe what I did once the 'Search and Replace' window was open: Open 'Search and Replace' Find Where: Lists-Location Find What: Arkansas Replacement text: Arkansas, USA How to Find: Find whole word only .. ... is ticked Match case is ticked Anywhere in field .. is ticked How to Replace: Replace only found text with replacement text . is ticked Another easy way to help in cleaning up your location list is to 'combine' locations where appropriate. That can be quicker and easier than editing each location. Just be certain both locations are/should be IDENTICAL except for spelling. From the Menu Bar, Go to: View Master Lists Location Yell Co, Ark Yell CO, AR Yell County, Arkansas All three instances could be combined to use Yell County, Arkansas. Of course, you can only combine one into one other location with each instance, but in the example I showed, it could be done by using Combine two times in order to reach the desired result. Very simple to do. Just be CERTAIN the locations are identical. In my example, I would HIGHLIGHT Yell County, Ark in my location list, then click on 'Combine' then I'd locate and HIGHLIGHT Yell County, Arkansas and click on 'Combine With' and everywhere Yell County, Ark was used in my database would now be Yell County, Arkansas. Next I would go to Yell CO, AR in my location list, highlight it and follow the same instructions. In a matter of seconds, all Yell County, Arkansas locations are spelled the way I want them to be spelled. Not every version of a location can be handled this way, but for those that qualify, it is a quick and clean process. -Original Message- From: Jane Sarles [mailto:sarlesinsi...@gmail.com] I don't suppose there is a short cut to adding USA to location entries?
