Peggy, For future reference, the tblMR stands for “table Marriage Records”. In fact all tables in the database are pre-referenced with “tbl” or for more clarity –TBL. I use similar techniques when programming and also use CamelCase.

John and Sherry - thank you very much for your help.

When the Clie was discontinued I changed over to an iPhone and iPad, and asked Doug Gordon, the author of GedStar Pro, if he had any intention of porting the program over to the Apple iOS devices. Doug replied that he would have to invest in some expensive Mac equipment to do so, and that he was intending to retire after 40+ years writing software (this was in 2008), so I went looking for alternative software. I settled on Families, by Telgen Software, and was fortunate to be involved in some testing of that software both pre-release and subsequent to its introduction. I have been very happy with Families, and with Telgen's responsiveness to input from their user base. I highly recommend Families, which syncs with Legacy and not only displays your data and photos, but will allow input via your mobile device if you choose to do that, after which the new data can be synced back to Legacy. That capability can be very handy if you find yourself in the field without your laptop. Understand however that Families is not Legacy, and does not provide the entire range of features that Legacy provides, which is not surprising considering that Families is designed to run on a much lest robust platform than is Legacy Family Tree.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Sources are available in Families, at least in the Android version (I'm sure it would be in the iOS version as well). Tap on the individual to bring up that person's page, tap on the Event and there you'll find a source for that individual's event. There is no Master Source List, if that's what you're looking for. It would be handy - I'd suggest going to their website http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/ and make a suggestion in the User Forum Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 10:31 PM, Debbie Freeman dfs...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, From what little I could see the only problem with the Families App is that it does not seem to have a source screen shoot available.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
I have both on my Motorola Atrix and my Kindle Fire. I like Families on the KF better for main reason that GedStar Pro has a light blue background and I find it hard to read due to my vision difficulties. The blue background seems more pronounced on the Kindle than on the smaller screen of the Atrix. I had GedStar Pro on my Palm PDA years ago, which is probably why I wrote that I preferred that one -I was very comfortable with that format, Families 1.0 works only with Legacy files and will allow you to edit and transfer back to Legacy. I haven't done that yet. GedStar will convert several genealogy file types (FDB, FTM, PAF, GED, etc) and is read only.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Peggy, Actually, the direct link you would want to go to is http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/ - you can also get more info from the Apple App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/families/id379619019?mt=8ign-mpt=uo%3D4 The program Families is an app that that you would purchase ($14.99) and install on your iPad. Once you have purchased and installed the app, there is a process you go thorough to transfer files between your computer and ipad. I use Families on an Android device so I'm not sure what the exact process is for Apple but Telgen's website has this: On iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad Families requires access to a Wi-Fi network or use of iTunes via a USB connection in order to transfer family files between your device and your PC. USB transfer uses iTunes File Sharing which requires your device to be running iOS 3.2 or above Rest assured it's a good app and the developer is responsive interested in keeping it a good app. cheers Paul On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 10:00 PM, PM dign...@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks, Sherry!

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
I used GedStar Pro on my Palm with another genealogy program for many years. It's an excellent program. Now I have an iPod and an iPad. I use Legacy so I use Families. I tried several programs including FamViewer and GedViewer on the iPad. GedViewer, to my mind, is better than FamViewer. Quite a bit cheaper too. I think it depends on what you want. Look at the features. Do you want to enter data and have it transfer back to your program? Not all do that. Are you okay with making a new GEDcom and transferring that? Is it critical to you to have pictures and assorted other items or do you just want the basic data at your fingertips? What is the most important thing for you? I don't care much for the apps on the iPod. Might be age but the screen is too small. In 2001 it was a wow moment when I pulled up my data on my Palm at the Clerk's office. Now I assume it is pretty mundane.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Any time you have to use a GEDCOM to interface to an external application you are going to have sources that are Basic Style since the GEDCOM standard does not allow for the detailed field specifications that are needed for SourceWriter style sources. When the SourceWriter was developed the programmers did not modify the GEDCOM export code to create new custom tags for the SourceWriter sources. If the application can open a Legacy Family file directly then it may preserve the SourceWriter style sources. All the Legacy Add-on programs for mobile appliances, Pocket Genealogist for pocket PC based devices, Families for the Iphone, Ipad and Ipod touch and Families for Android read the Legacy Family File directly. I do not own any of those mobile devices so I have never used any of the mobile apps in order to comment further.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Families is available through our online store for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as well as for Android. However, since these programs have to be purchased through the iPhone or Android market places, we can only link you to those site - we don't actually sell them. Another program, which I really like is GedStar for Android. I used to use GedStar on my Palm and the Android version is very much like the Palm version. Pocket Genealogist is available for Windows Mobile, but from what I understand, there are not any genealogy programs available for WIndows Phone 7 yet.

RE: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Connie: I use Families on an iPad and agree that it isn't practical for much data entry but that's fairly easy to work around. If I'm browsing the Internet away from home and find something of interest I just copy/paste the link and/or text, save it on the iPad and input it later. With books or microfilm records I take pictures with a digital camera. If the data is brief it can be entered on the iPad although I wouldn't put it directly into Legacy but would use one of the word processing-type apps. In all of these cases you would just be gathering raw data and then entering it into Legacy on your primary system. II don't think it's the best use of your time on a research trip to try and precisely source and enter data or transcribe a document on a hand-held device. That said, the iPad with the Families app and Legacy database have become essential tools for me and I'd *hate* to give them up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
You will need to have another applicaton to convert the Legacy files to the proper format if you're talking about iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android. Families for iOS or Android or GedStar Android are excellent programs. Those applications will also convert that format back to your Family File, but most users have found it to be cumbersome to edit on a mobile device and convert back to Legacy so they use it only for viewing. Legacy will only run on Windows. If you have a netbook which runs Windows, then you can install Legacy on the netbook. If you have a Mac laptop, you'll have to install Parallels, Fusion, WINE or BootCamp along with a version of Windows and install Legacy on the Windows side. if you wish to use an iPad, then you will have to use Families. A friend of mine has Nook Color, which runs Android, but it wouldn't run Families for Android. He had to get GedStar for Android. GedStar Android works marvelously on my Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
I wouldn't be taking notes longer than a text message on the iPhone/iPod. I find the keyboard useful on the iPad - honest, when you have one you will understand - but I also have a wireless keyboard for my iPad. It's like any other keyboard. You could type a will. There are attorneys who do only iPads in court where they may draft pleadings on the fly. In fact that's how I learned about the keyboard. It changed my use of the iPad from a toy to a workhorse. Coincidentally, today I did a demo of using the iPad to access FamilySearch. People were pretty impressed with how the keyboard worked when they tried it. I didn't have the bluetooth with me but I mentioned it. An 84 year old woman wants to buy an iPad! She used the keyboard and thought she wouldn't need the bluetooth version. If you are considering an iPad I strongly suggest waiting for the new one due out in 4-6 weeks I think. It is more wireless which would be nice. Also, the next iOS, ver. 5, will have more interaction with the iCloud which may affect how genealogy programs will work on them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
The next version of the operating system for the iPad/iPhone devices, iOS 5 (due to be released on 7 October of 2011) will also provide a split keyboard option to divide the screen-based keyboard into two segments similar to an ergonomic keyboard, which might make input via the screen-based keyboard more comfortable. Prior to purchasing my iPhone and iPad I used GEDStar Pro for quite some time on a Sony Clie Palm device, and liked it very much, but when I asked the manufacturer of that program if he intended to write a version for the iPhone/iPad he said he intended to retire, so that would not happen. I tried FamViewer for a while on the iPhone and iPad, but switched to the Families app and have never looked back. Some of the photographic apps for the iPad/iPhone devices use the built-in camera on those devices to capture an image of documents, but also can do Optical Character Reading (OCR) processing, and will produce PDF files that are searchable, and editable.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
I'm using an Archos Internet tablet (10.1 inch) model (Android 2.2) because it is about $200 cheaper than an IPAD and it works pretty well. I'm trying a program called GedStar Pro and one called Family Bee that I transferred a gedcom to from Legacy, but I don't know if there is one that uses a straight Legacy family file instead of having to use a gedcom or not. I think it is the wave of the future, though, so it will be nice to see it fully supported as much as possible. --Jerry On 8/12/2011 10:19 PM, Eliz Hanebury wrote: There is an app for I-phone and Android that carries your tree with you, not to work on really just togive you the information at your finger tips.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Thanks Eliz, I will give the Android a look. Not sure what all these devices do but diffenetlly want to stay away from a phone type. Went to check on google and looks like you hit it. Will check this one out it does Legacy. Thanks again, Beth This is a major deal for the Google Android platform as there hasn’t been much in the way of genealogy software for Android – a couple of family tree/GEDCOM browsers called AGeneDB and Family Bee. GedStar will be the first fully-featured genealogy app for the Android platform. According to the press release below, everything from the Palm version has been ported to the Android version. There is a Windows/PC program that will allow you to take your genealogy data and information directly from The Master Genealogist or Legacy Family Tree (if you use either of those) and sync it up with GedStar Pro for Android. -Original Message- From: Eliz Hanebury elizhg...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Fri, Aug 12, 2011 7:19 pm Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy There is an app for I-phone and Android that carries your tree with you, not to work on really just togive you the information at your finger tips. My Cruz reader cann't use it because it has no access to the Android market, heaven knows I tried G but the I pad, pod and phone have one. The Legacy family tree site has a link to it I believe and the developer is often on the list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
The Families app for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is capable of displaying your Legacy databases in great detail, including photos, family and pedigree formats, and searches by surname, and can be used to enter data, then synced with your Legacy database on your PC. The Families app is manufactured by TelGen and you may see screen shots, a description and user reviews at at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/families/id37961901?mt=8, or by Google search for Families app. I use Families on both my iPhone and iPad 2, and like it very much. It saves me carrying a laptop on research trips. John Zimmerman Mesa, AZ On 8/12/2011 6:54 PM, Beth wrote: I would like to use a hand held pad of some sort that could handle Legacy software.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy
Our future is still moving. I started genealogy as a hobby in 1956 so I have been through many stages of growing. The tablets sounds very interesting but I haven't heard of Archos, will check that one out also. So far do you like the GedStar Pro or the Family Bee better? Do you think you are getting enough of the info on your screen like we do in Legacy?

I'm trying a program called GedStar Pro and one called Family ee that I transferred a gedcom to from Legacy, but I don't know if here is one that uses a straight Legacy family file instead of having o use a gedcom or not. I think it is the wave of the future, though, o it will be nice to see it fully supported as much as possible. --Jerry On 8/12/2011 10:19 PM, Eliz Hanebury wrote: There is an app for I-phone and Android that carries your tree with you, not to work on really just togive you the information at your finger tips.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the Families app is also available for Android-based devices.
