[LegacyUG] No Digest option - alternative management of mail

I've been chatting with Brian about this mailing list (I'm helping him and Ken with it at the moment), and suggested I post with this information to help anyone struggling with the lack of a digest here, and list mail "clogging up" the Inbox. Whatever mail service you are using, there will be

Good Evening, Years ago, I made up a system for folks for whom I had only one name, either Given or Surname or no names at all. For the women with a given name:: Anna Nomaid For the men: John Nolast For a male with no names at: Nofirst Nolast For a female with no names: Nofirst Nomaid This

Re: [LegacyUG] Hyphen versus Dash in file names

Yep, I have been chipping away at it. May take a while. My main objective was to let people know that some and maybe all of the extended ascii characters will not go through a zip/unzip operation in tact. Bobby From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

Cathy, A lot of TNG users do attach their media to the events. But I prefer to attach the media to the source because the source can be used for multiple “data items” – ie, a census typically has names, relationships, occupations, birth date & place, residence, etc. I want to be able to

Re: [LegacyUG] Hyphen versus Dash in file names

Bobby, I was assuming you'd use the File Renamer to replace the dash with the hyphen or whichever way it was to re-establish the links. If you still have the links, yes you need to use the Picture Centre and go one by one. Cathy Bobby Johnson wrote: Cathy, I don’t believe file

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

I couldn't reply to your attached message so I have to do it here. When I don't know the parent's names, I just put the child's last name for the father because this was the only way I could keep the siblings together. In some cases, I never did find out who the parents were. You can always go

Re: [LegacyUG] Hyphen versus Dash in file names

Cathy, I don’t believe file renamer is the way to go. I believe I will need to rename the files using Picture Center or have a real mess of relinking to do. The built in relinker will not work on files that have been renamed without using Picture Center. Bobby From: LegacyUserGroup

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

I use LNU for last name of unknown males; MNU for last name of unknown females, FNU for unknown first names. So I would enter Maria's father as FNU Schommer and his wife as FNU MNU. So no problems adding Maria's siblings. Pat On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 8:11 PM, Ed Ladendorf via LegacyUserGroup <

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

Is Schommer their maiden name? Or did both marry men named Schommer? If that is their maiden name, I would give a parent whose last name is Schommer. Norris Taylor On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 7:13 PM, Ed Ladendorf via LegacyUserGroup < legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> wrote: > The original

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

I think I'm what you call a lumper. I source from largest location to smallest. I've been a little frustrated because the Legacy program wants more detailed locations in some cases than the databases warrant. I've altered my manner of sourcing to add a lot of the location information in the

Also a lumper for most things with Source List Names organised by type. Certainly not a Master Source for every household in a census. Does TNG really force that if you want to include the image? If it does, I'd be attaching the image to the event rather than the source. No problem finding

The best way would be to just add the father's surnames and leave the first names and spouses blank or use privacy brackets ie [[this is the father of John Smith]]. If you start putting initials in for N.N. no name then it is very likely that some one else researching will see that and start
