Here in Holland, where many people were only been known by givenname and
fathersname before 1811, there are two ways to handle this.
There are users who handle the patronym as a surname, others put the
givenname + fathersname in the givennamefield. Both have their positive
and negative points.

My ancestors, being Jewish, didn't have last names in Europe until abt 1800.
Before then, people went by their name and their fathers.
Such as Moses Seligmann, born 1757, Germany,

Personally, the way I change a.pdf to a .jpg is to take a screenshot of the
.pdf and save it as a .jpg. I use Picasa which is *so* easy to edit in and
is free. Other than the usual .jpg loss problems -- which is ordinarily
not a problem in Legacy -- I don't know of any disadvantages.

When I am working on my Scandinavian lines, I go to customizing and
turn off the add father's surname button so I don't have to remove

I've heard this same thing about scanners from my cousin, Sam, who

haven't seen her scanner.
When you scan pictures you're just scanning them. It doesn't have
anything to do with file format. It's when you save them that you
A scanner may give you the option to save a file as a TIFF, but a lot of
websites don't. I checked a few of my favorites.
Ancestry's only option is .jpg.
American Ancestors and Family Search save as .jpg. They don't give you an option
but they do allow you to open it in a photo editor instead.
The reason that some people claim they can only scan an image as one particular
file format is that they are most likely using the proprietary software that
came with the scanner. In such cases, the software is so simplistic and lacking
in options, the image is imported into Windows as a JPG
Hello everyone,
I created a Descendants Book report
(which is actually a chapter for a collateral
line), then I downloaded it from Legacy as
an RTF file so it could be edited. I've

so. SourceWriter does not have a choice in Military records for this

I believe the original question was about scanning images. Why are you
mixing this up with talk about downloading images?

You cannot include a document file, like your edited rtf file, in any

Using the Pub centre you can reserve space in the Legacy report for the

the rtf file outside of Legacy.
The other alternative is
XnView can also be used to 'Select TWAIN Source' and it's free. After

Hi Brian,
Legacy does a great job of nesting the

of my downloading chapters be for me to

then print. This way the TOC, sequence of

Could you advise, please - off list.
Thanks

Stuart,
Elizabeth covers documents and manuscripts. According to you your WWII
discharge is an original document. Check page 868 [EE] in the index for

In each of the 5 Scandinavian languages some people carried patronymics and/or
farm names using local name rules? Each area/country used both on occasion.
