Re: [LegacyUG] Exporting sources

Title: Re: [LegacyUG] Exporting sources


This may have already been mentioned, but to create a useable subset of my master Legacy database (in Legacy format), I use the Focus Groups options available in Views / Focus Group.  Depending on what I'm trying to accomplish, I sometimes have to create an initial focus group database subset, then do some edits/pruning, and then do a second focus group export.  Knowing what to do takes a bit of time until you get the steps refined to achieve the exact objective, documenting the steps along the way.  Repeating a complicated subset process after database updates or with slightly different subsetting choices takes me 10-15 minutes at most.

All this is done in Legacy files, not GEDCOM, to retain all data, sources, formats, etc.  I always start by making a *copy* of my master database and working with that.

Hope this helps.

Instead of exporting, can you try this:
Make a copy of your tree with a new name,
Edit THAT copy to remove the branches you do not need. Can this work?

The only way to retain SourceWriter sources is to export to a New Legacy File not to a GEDCOM. You can elect to export a tagged group as a New Legacy file on the Options for records to export.

I have a large database of about 56,000 records.  I want to split the

I tried tagging several thousand individuals who were all related into a
single family, some 7,000 people, created a gedcom for Legacy and then
imported these records into a new Legacy database file using the
gedcom.  One of the problems in doing this, is that sources in the
larger database which were created using the source writer method
reverted back to basic sources in the new smaller database file.

Does anyone know of a way to split a Legacy database file into smaller
Legacy Dataebase files and not loose the Source writer type sources?

Thank you

[LegacyUG] search for living with parents deceased

[Mark Klan]

I've poked around Help and the Legacy User Group archives, but haven't seen how 
to do the following.  I'd like to search for individuals who are living but 
whose father (for example) is not living.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[LegacyUG] Basic Source Detail Surety Level questions

[Mark Klan]

Using basic sourcing, the Detail Information screen has an Optional section 
involving Surety Level (0-4).  There is a box which for me is always checked by 
default:  Add this Detail to the Source Citation on Reports.  I have two 
questions for this esteemed group.

My assumption is that the box Add this Detail to the Source Citation on 
Reports in the Optional section refers only to the surety level.

Question 1:  Is there any way to set the default so that this box is UNchecked? 
 I have never selected a surety level, but when I export a GEDCOM with full 
source details, it is reporting a surety level of 3 for every source that 
contains Source Detail.

Question 2 (two parts):  Now, for the 8,000 source detail entries I have for 
2,000 individuals, they are all accompanied by an unintended surety level.  (a) 
Is there a way to globally remove the surety level entry entirely for all these 
previously created sources?  (b) Re my assumption above, would globally 
unchecking the box (Add this Detail...) just remove the surety level, or would 
it also remove reporting of the source detail text which I have entered?

If necessary, I could probably set up a query to remove the surety info (using 
MS Access) if I knew what table  field it is stored in.  But I'm hoping there 
is a global setting or search/replace query I've overlooked.

Thanks in advance.  I'm running Legacy 7.4 Deluxe on a Windows 7 (64-bit) box.

Re: [LegacyUG] Basic Source Detail Surety Level questions

[Mark Klan]

Thanks Jennifer, Ron, and Mike for your quick responses.  I believe I lost the 
forest for the trees.  I now see that I can easily exclude QUAY from export in 
the GEDCOM customization screen.  Note to self: scroll all the way through the 
list!

Also, on the Sources Customization screen, I now see where I can un-check 
Include source details on source citations on reports, but separately check 
Include source detail TEXT on source citations on reports.  I'll test that.  
I guess I was looking for a checkbox that says Include [or Exclude] surety 
level in source citations on reports... :-)

I appreciate the help.

 As regards to GEDCOM export, when you are on the GEDCOM export
 screen, click Customise. Then Export these items. Surety level is
 the QUAY tag. Remove it. I have a number of items I customise so I
 saved a list that I load each time.

Re: [LegacyUG] PLACE NAMES

[Mark Klan]

I'm one of the folks who use the Buried/Location field for cemetery names  
locations, and initially this did indeed cause my master locations list to be  
quite a mess.  However, I got rid of the jumble by entering every cemetery as 
follows (example):

Cem: Trinity Cemetery, Sylvania, DeKalb, Alabama, United States

Then for the short version, I edit and remove Cem:  and also , United 
States.  I do this in the Master Locations list after I have added some new 
cemeteries, or whenever I get around to it.  Once it's done for any given 
cemetery, it's done.

So this particular cemetery shows up naturally on screen and in reports as 
Trinity Cemetery, Sylvania, DeKalb, Alabama.  And in the master location list, 
all of my cemeteries are grouped together alphabetically beginning with the 
prefix Cem:space.  This eliminated the mess.  I imagine it won't work well if 
you are using the mapping/lat/long stuff, but I don't... :-)

Maybe this approach will be helpful to someone out there.

For what it's worth, my opinion is to use the BURIED field only as a location 
field such as Detroit, Wayne Co, Michigan, USA - then add the name of the 
cemetery in the NOTES field next to the BURIED location field.  Otherwise, you 
will get LOCATION names that refer to CEMETERIES and not CITIES, VILLAGES, 
TOWNSHIPS, etc.  The LOCATION fields are much more manageable not to mix them 
up with CEMETERY names.IMO.  Plus, if you ever use TNG - The Next 
Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding for your website data, you will have very 
messy PLACE names if you use CEMETERIES in fields that are really designed only 
for the traditional LOCATION / PLACE divisions.

 Jenny,

 Would one enter the Cemetery like this ?

 Forrest Lawn Cemetery, L. Street, Plot 5.4, Cypress, Orange, California, USA

 I'm like Sherry. I create a 'Burial' event.

  And some of us enter the cemetery name as part of the location. Indeed,
  I include not only the cemetery name but also the plot/grave number when
  I know it.
 
  What's best is what works for you!

Re: [LegacyUG] Single parent adoption

[Mark Klan]

Glad it's working for you, Rita.

Yes, in my test file I indeed checked this couple did not marry, but failed 
to include that in my typed instructions.  Sorry about that. I should have 
re-done everything from scratch after I obtained the desired results, following 
my own instructions... :-)

Strangely enough, I'm now getting slightly different report wording, but I 
secretly think there's a randomization function built into reporting for 
everyone's entertainment.  == That last part's intended to be funny, not true.

 Thank you for trying to work this out for me.  I had some time this evening
 to try your formula but I could not duplicate your results.
 After you deleted Harry did you just leave that marriage?
 I am still getting Frances next married someone.  She had one son: So and

 Is there something else I could be missing?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Reports Question

[Mark Klan]

Al -

I think I accomplished what you're trying to do via Tagging and Export 
(original email quoted below).  Here were my steps:

First, select the key ancestor of interest (for you: his oldest daughter and 
her descendants from only her 2nd marriage).
1.  Navigate to Edit/Tag_Records and when the Advanced Tagging box opens, click 
Clear All Tag Numbers for Everyone. **NOTE: If you maintain permanent tags, 
you'll have to do this step differently to clear only a specific tag for use in 
this exercise.**
2.  In advanced tagging box, set tag number you want to use in Make changes on 
# area.  I used tag #1.
3.  In same box, click on Descendants... button.
4.  Click on Spouse... box and select the desired spouse.
5.  Back in Descendant Options box (Advanced Tagging), select the Number of 
Generations to Include, and also click on Descendants not Entire Descendant 
Line.  Click OK.
6.  Close Advanced Tagging box and spot check to ensure the proper spouse and 
descendants (only) have been tagged.

Next, select the father of the key ancestor (for you: the immigrant ancestor).
1.  Navigate to Edit/Tag_Records and when the Advanced Tagging box opens, click 
on Family...
2.  A Spouse List for box pops up.  Make sure the 4 checkboxes are UNchecked.
2.  In the spouse area at the bottom, select a single spouse or all spouses 
(for the father of the key ancestor), as desired.

Lastly, go the File/Export To... and select Legacy File...
1.  Give the new exported file a name.
2.  Click on All Records With an Individual Tag Of... and select the tag number 
you used.
3.  UNclick the Export all spouses and Export all parents boxes, because all 
the people you want are already tagged.
4.  Click on Start the Export, and when the confusing AutoSource Reminder box 
pops up, just select Don't Assign a Source (unless you want to create a new 
master source to identify the origin of the exported records).
5.  Open the new file and check to see whether the people you want (and only 
those) are there.  If you're just a few people off either way, return to your 
master Legacy File and tag/untag those few manually.  After a little tweaking, 
the process above worked for me without any manual tagging.

Hope this helps.  It's a general process I wanted to figure out as well, so 
your question was opportune... :-)

 Hello!

 I want to start my report with the immigrant ancestor, his wife,

 descendants to only his oldest daughter and her descendants from only her 2nd 
 marriage.

 I've been at this for hours. I could not find any information in

 I tried experimenting with the Tag feature; however I did not have
 any success.  The Focus Group feature also did not work for me.

 Thank you in advance.  Al
