Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Well, it worked this time -- I'm not sure why -- perhaps I chose Import 2x instead of open. Thanks for your assistance!!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Pat, The Gedcom that was created, would not have been a .fdb, it would end with .ged. The location to open files for Legacy may not be the same as the location the gedcom was stored at. And, you should probably create a gedcom for LEGACY rather than for Gedcom 5.5.1 The later restricts the data that is included to only that which meet 5.5.1 standards, whereas most other software that can import gedcoms, have ways to deal with 'other' data, so that as much of your data gets 'out' into the new file as possible. Hope that helps, Jay On Sat, Aug 30, 2014 at 7:12 PM, Pat Hickin pph...@gmail.com wrote: Cathy, I missed it because I was looking for what I was told to look for, namely View/Set Focus Group.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
It sounds like your focus group worked, but you forgot to Import (not Open) the newly created .ged file into a Legacy family file. Yet you already had an empty family file on your system, with the same name as the Gedcom file. You can import into an existing family file or a new one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Focus Groups are very powerful. Paula basically pointed out that a new individual added to the database will automatically be included. The reason is that a Focus Group is not a collection of individuals or a tagged set of records. It is a list of criteria that can be used to find records. The criteria can be edited. If descendants of a specific individual are in the Focus Group criteria and last month there were 3000 of them then you added a new child for one of them, today the Focus Group would find 3001 descendants. Same would be true for any other combination of criteria used in a Focus Group. One way that I use Focus Group is to SearchFindMiscellaneousEdit Focus GroupLoad then select one of the Focus Groups that I have saved and click OK to retrieve individuals that meet the criteria. An example would be a Focus Group that has several people and their ancestors to 10 generations. I execute the Find, then set Tag1 for them. Next, I set Tag2 for the descendants of a common ancestor. Finally, I find everyone with Tag1 and Tag2 which means they are a descendant of the common ancestor and on the ascending line of those in the Focus Group. I export those to a new Legacy database and use it to produce a descendant chart showing how those people are related without all the other connections they have in the main database. Another idea is to have a Focus Group that is customized to find those individuals that a particular collaborator is working on and name the Focus Group accordingly so it is easy to use. I'm sure there are lots of other ways to productively utilize Focus Groups.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Pat, A .ged file of 2809 KB is pretty big. If that is the one that you imported, and the resulting .fdb appears empty, then something is really fishy. Have you tried looking at the .ged file with Notepad, or opening it with one of the free Gedcom reader programs? (I use GENViewer Lite.)

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Cathy, I missed it because I was looking for what I was told to look for, namely View/Set Focus Group. However, now I have another problem. Per your instructions, at step 3, I chose Edit Focus Group. The *Focus Group* window can be reached from several locations. 1. From the *Export* window, I chose GEDCOM File Produce file for GEDCOM 5.5.1 Only Character Set: UTF-8 Then I clicked [Step *1] Record Selection*, [Step 2] I chose *Selected Records Contained in the Focus Group *option, and then clicked *[Step 3, per Cathys's instructions] Edit Focus Group* which took me to the Focus Group window which had the words Ancestors (Direct Line, 999 Gen., Mult. Parents) for Pauline Elizabeth Layman [i.e., ,my, mother's ancestors] highlighted in blue. I clicked OK [which took me to a window entitled GEDCOM Record Selection I clicked Close, which took me to a window entitled GEDCOM Export I clicked on a button entitled Select File Name and Start EXPORT which took me to a window called Export GEDCOM file. In the Fie Name box I typed in LAYMAN-Pauline Elizabeth Ancestors 20140830.ged and clicked Save. This took me back to the GEDCOM Export Window plus a smaller window which said Export Complete[:] Export of GEDCOM file is complete[:] Indiviuals: 758[;] Families: 344. I clicked OK. This took me back to the family screen of my startup family in my main Legacy database file (PRICKETT-LAYMAN.fdb). I clicked Open File. and chose LAYMAN-Pauline Elizabeth Ancestors 20140830.fdb the type of which to my surprise was labeled Legacy Genealogy Software and was only 1468kb in size. However, when the file was opened, there was NO information on the Family View. I clicked on View Name List. But there were NO names in the name list!! So NOW what have I done wrong??? Thanks (again)! Pat On Sat, Aug 30, 2014 at 11:35 AM, Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Well, this a great little thread, because it made me read all of the Help on Focus Groups.

I think this mainly because using Focus Groups is not explained at all well in the literature. For example (Jenny Benson's example actually). From the Searches/Miscellaneous screen, you can apparently select a focus group, but there is no telling which focus group you have selected! Neither does the individual change. That's a gripe! Having selected a Focus Group, I would expect that if I clicked on the Create List button at the bottom of the window, I would be presented with a list of all the people in that group. And it does. Just remember that whatever groups are listed in the Focus Group window will form the basis of the list created. So, make sure only one group is in that list of groups! Having pressed Create List, you should now have a Search List of everyone in that Focus Group. You can scroll up and down the list; sort the list and, print it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Pat, ViewFocus Group, it initially opens at the Ancestor Options Screen, clicking OK takes you to the Focus Group Screen, bottom tight is the Help Button. You may have to Save first btw, I’m not certain. The screen which you get using Jenny’s method is the Focus Group Screen, the help Button is as described above.

RE: [LegacyUG] Focus group
Jane First of all the Load button is only to call up Focus Groups you have already saved. To create a new Focus Group for an entire family line, click on Add an Individual and Entire Family Line. Then from the list that appears, select the individual of interest and click on the Select button. Use the Save button to five a name to this Focus Group. Then you should be able to go back later and export this group in GEDCOM file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus group
I have version 7.4.0.45 1. In family view I go the the View of the main menu bar and choose Focus Group 2. In Focus Group Window, I select add an individual and his descendants button. 3. That takes me to Descendant Options. I click the button for Enter descendant line (My person's name and ID number is in the current individual box.) 4. I click OK and it goes back to Focus Group Window. I click Save. 5. Then I close the remaining window which is Focus Group 6. Then I go to File on the menu bar and select Export to Gedcom and get the Gedcom Export screen. On that I click record selection. Then in Gedcom record selection I select selected records contained in the focus group. 7. Then I click the button for Select focus group 8. I highlight the correct focus group click record selection 9. Then I click select file name and start export in a window titled Export Gedcom File 10. It says only This folder is empty. 11.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus group
I think you are skipping one step, after selecting the individual you dont say you are selecting a number of generations to include.

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus group
That was it. I put the name in the space in the bottom of the Gedcom screen and it said it did the gedcom. I thought that i had selected the file in the earlier and didn't realize I had to type it again. What is the purpose of having you select a particular focus group if you still have to tell it which one to use? Jane On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 7:09 PM, Dennis M.
