[LegacyUG] Sources - a different question

[Ian Thomas]

Is there a way to report which persons do (or do not) have Sources attached?


Or, to search all persons for a particular string within the Source
'attachments' ?

My reason for asking is to locate in my Legacy data some imported or merged
persons that resulted from matching with tree information from online
sources (eg, Ancestry of FamilySearch).

Re: [LegacyUG] FTM file to Legacy -can SKS act as intermediary, please

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

FTM 2014 works fine with Win 10. I have that software on this laptop (new 
hardware purchase), yet have an older laptop upgraded (Win 7 --> 8.1 --> 10)  
with FTM 2014 and both work fine with the software. I even rebuilt the OS for 
the older laptop, followed by installing FTM 2014, and that went okay.

 

(Jenny M Benson) Which version of FTM was being installed? Please remember that 
Ancestry sold FTM with support and any older install / registration checks no 
longer active since those activities were with companies no longer involved 
with FTM.

Hope the problem is sorted but I find it strange that FTM won't work

on or with Windows 10.

My old FTM program from the days of Windows 95 and 98 still works

as went into it other day to check on some data and exported a file to Legacy.

Since I bought it years ago I have gone through numerous computers,

XP, Windows 7 and now 10.

Just curious has any-one else experienced this.

Re: [LegacyUG] changing sentance wording

[Denise Moss-Fritch]

You can change the sentence for the event type (all uses of that event) or
only for the once instance of an event type (local event).

If the first type of change (all uses of the event type), from an event
click 'Edit Event Sentence Definition'.

Or, select the View tab > Master Lists > Events Definition. From the Master
Event Definition List, select the event for which you want to change all
uses of that event sentence and click the Edit button.

Both methods open an Add/Edit an Event Definition dialog for that event to
which you can change the sentence used globally for that event type.

If you want to change the sentence for a specific event (one use of an
event, not all), open the event and check Sentence Override (next to the
Notes tab). You can then change the sentence for that specific event without
changing the sentence used for all instances of that event type.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources

You can attach photos to Events, to Sources, to Source Details, to the Birth, 
Christening, Death and Burial Events already listed in the Family View, and 
just in general, as someone else just said. Does not have to be on Added Events.

The names you see on the left under the main name are the AKAs you have
added.  You can also transfer AKAs.  If you are seeing the identical name it
