Re: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Kathy, Graham Mike,I know how to do all of what you've suggested, but in working with DNA you have y-DNA which is only the male line, so it would be easy to do what you're speaking of, but autosomal DNA picks up all of your lines to many lines back and so when I have a confirmed match and that's not often or when I have a possible, which is very very often, I was wanting something I could fill in on the Individual information screen, just as Cause of Death where I can go to the Notes, choose Medical, type in just as I would for Cause of Death. I could choose the Tag option, but there's not enough, you have at the least 32 lines of ancestors, it doubles each time it goes up a generation. [Also I manage 4 different people's kits] I could use Research notes or General notes, but I have 3 Legacy family files that include over 14,000 individuals, so it would take more time than I care to think about to go back and redo all those, because some I have notes on and some I have Research Notes. I thank ALL of you for your help, but I just see no answer for me, I realize that when someone ask a question, you have no idea of their knowledge, but God only knows how many hours, I spend typing all this information into Legacy, and I haven't ask a question in a LONG time, in fact, I had dropped my name from the forum, I miss having Ron to correspond to, and I'm sure you Kathy may be a great advisor, but I hope with all this you can see why I was offended. Until you get into DNA tests results and see maybe 1400 + matches on a report and try to work with 3 DNA company test results, you can have no idea as to the work. As it's been said on the DNA forum, It's not for the weary at heart. Basically, Legacy is great for adding genealogy records, but I was trying to get it to do something it's not designed to do, and for that I apologize. But, for those that are familiar with Ron Ferguson, he, too was one to stretch Legacy to do what he wanted it to do, and he help so many of us for years. Of course, he was much smarter and had been doing this years before I came on the scene about 10 years ago.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Basically, say if I have a match, 2nd cousin once removed, the common ancestor
is a Great uncle his wife, this person matches on more than one chromosome
number and segments, we do Not know as of yet which is the match, is it the
uncle or his wife, someone married cousins way back. So this is a person I
don't know, maybe someone e-mails me months from now on a particular line or
maybe I'm scrolling through Legacy name list and open that person's file (which
in my setup is the Family Page), I'd like have something on that screen about
the DNA match, maybe DNA -Smith/Brown just something noting that her/his line
goes back to my common ancestor Smith/Brown. Obviously, to show on that
screen, it's going to be something I have entered from the Individual's
information screen.
I'm not wanting Legacy to keep tract of my DNA records, as I said in a previous
e-mail, I use One-Note for that and I've been very pleased with it), (others
use EverNote). I do add a DNA Event on some in Legacy, but I make those
Private, so I've just decided One-Note is best for that. Yes, sometimes our
needs/wants change and I know that Legacy can't change with everyone's wants.

what you want to be able to show in Legacy. I have my autosomal DNA on
Ancestry, 23andMe and FTDNA and I also manage my husband’s, my mother’s and my
uncle’s autosomal DNA. I have countless matches on all three websites for all
of the different kits. I also have all of this uploaded to GEDMatch. This is
A LOT of data and a lot of matches that you can’t possibly enter into Legacy.
When you say “confirmed match” are you saying that you have a 2nd cousin match
on one of the DNA sites that you can show is truly a 2nd cousin using
documents? If that is the case there is no reason at all to do anything in
Legacy. You already have the person in your file as a 2nd cousin (or can add
them). Are you wanting something to show that DNA confirms what you already
have in Legacy? Some sort of checkbox or something? For example, I have my
uncle in my file already. Since I have his DNA he shows as a match to me on
the DNA websites. Are you wanting some way to indicate that DNA supports the
link that that you have already established? I am trying to narrow down what
you are asking for so that I can figure out if it is possible to do what you
are asking and if so, we can get it entered as a suggestion to the programmers.

RE: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Syble, I don’t think that is anything that the programmers would be able to format because it is too complex and has too many variables. Chromosome mapping is very complex and to try and record which chromosome and which segments two people match on is just not doable. In this case it would be best to have a way to consistently document this on each person. I would create a DNA event and here is why. One big reason is you can attach an image file of the chromosome map to the event. I think this would be a great idea because you would have it at your fingertips without having to access the website every time and have to input who you want to map it every time. If you do a chromosome map on two people you then would copy that event to both. If the map shows 5 people then you can copy it to all five (FTDNA allows up to 5). The chromosome map itself is color coded and there is a legend right on the page. You could have as many DNA events as you want for each person showing different comparisons. There is also plenty of room for notes.

RE: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Syble, I am curious. What exactly would you like to see on the Individual’s Information screen and Family View DNA wise? yDNA and mtDNA value sets are much too long to try and display there. Are you wanting to see the haplogroup? If you are wanting the haplogroup you could easily enter it in the User ID field on the Individual’s Information screen and then on the Family View change the labels so that the User ID field is visible there.

Then you haven't followed anything that's been said here about being able to customise the fields that appear on the Family View. Right-click the any of the labels (or left-click, both work) and see the Customise Family View window. Now, select the least-useful Field Name and click on the small button with three dots on it: you'll get a list of field names to display. Select the Event... entry. This is mandatory since the data you want to display is help in an Event record. You should now see the Master Event Definition List. Pick your event and you're back to the Customise window. Adjust the Display name and Short name to personal taste and close the window.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Syble, Sorry, as I said, you cannot change the input fields on the Individual Screen. If you don't want Christening, I gather you are not very far back in your research or are in the lucky position that there is actual birth information available very early in your areas of research. In my research from early nineteenth century back I only have christening and burial information. To repeat. The fields on the individual input screen are fixed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Family view Individual is not the same options
Hi Syble, The Family View is just that - a view of certain fields. When you go to the Individual Information page that allows you to update the key fields that belong in that area. The Cause of Death [I presume that is what you mean by DthCauthen ?] is added in the Notes screen - there are three tabs - General; Research; Medical - it's the Medical Tab where you enter Cause of Death. Hope that helps ...
