Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

Ian, Are you using saved searches from Legacy 8? The Search list was reorganised to alpha order in Legacy 9 as the list of what could be searched for had grown so long that the supposed logical groupings in the previous list were no longer obvious. This seems to mean that anyone with Saved

Re: [LegacyUG] Event sharing and media

Scott, Shared Events were introduced in Legacy 8. I don't use them much. I don't use them at all for Census data. The ability to export shared events as ordinary events is recent and there are still some minor bugs in this. If, for example, you want to upload a gedcom to Ancestry and most

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Link Mother

I prefer to link the correct parents, then unlink the wrong combination. That way I don’t have to write them down. Legacy doesn’t care which way, but lets you know what you are doing. Carl On Jun 25, 2017, at 5:36 PM, Henry T. Peterson Jr. wrote: Debbie This can

Debbie This can happen as you do research. I find the best way is to…. 1. Write down the RIN of all of the Children.(you may forget) 2. Unlink affected children.(right-click) 3. Change family view to reflect correct parents.(click on the side of parent box) 4. Relink children to

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Link Mother

Hi Debbie Takes a bit to get your head around this part of the system. I guess from your description the father was married more than once and presumably you have him in the database with multiple marriages (let’s say there were 2). You added these children to him alone. But in Legacy you have

Re: [LegacyUG] Event sharing and media

Scott Simple answer for question 1: Always add a picture to an event so it will be printed in reports. You can have events for individuals and marriage events for family pictures. Question 2: It is lots of work to go back and change your past work. May want to just use shared events as you

[LegacyUG] How to Link Mother

I have an individual I've added a couple children to but was unsure of the mother. So I added them just to the father (no mother). After research, I have decided they belong to wife #1 (already linked to father). When I try to add mother, I select the option to link to an existing individual (the

I'm contemplating how to best use events in my file and curious how others do it. 1. I'm starting to add the images of obituaries into my database. I'm trying to decide if its better to add them as media under the individual or under the event. Which is more common? Pros / cons? 2. I've

Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

Perhaps we can ask that they lock in the search tools as well. I got caught again to-day as some upgrade changed the order and searched for Story title instead of Surname. Very distressing to think I may have missed a search response. And No I can't think of a better way for them to keep it in

You are absolutely right that programs should not place things in the Windows hidden _AppData folder but Legacy does not use the Windows folder. It creates an _AppData folder in the user's documents area where it is not hidden. Brian Kelly On 25-Jun-17 2:05 PM, Chris Hill wrote: Using the

Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

Using the _AppData folder for any files that relate to the user and their data SHOULD BE BANNED. I suspect that MicroSoft designed it for internal files relating to applications, which it does not matter if they are lost, and that is why they made the folder hidden so that we would not see it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort a field in tagged list

You cannot, the only sort fields you can use are RIN, Given and Surname, the three boxes at the top of the list. If you need to sort by other fields you can print the list to a csv file. Import the csv file into a Spreadsheet program to sort on any column there. Brian Kelly On 25-Jun-17

Barb, If you rely on this module, you would have had to change to Legacy 9 soon anyway. These updates are being done to the Legacy FamilySearch module in Legacy 8 and 9 but no other changes are being made to Legacy 8 and we - Testers and Support - weren't expecting Legacy FamilySearch in 8

Thank you Cathy…yes, that must be the one you described….it disappeared when I was using 8 and when I wrote support they said I would have to be in 9 to get the latest “fixes” so it looks like I could have stayed in 8. I really miss that feature and I hope we get it back. Barb From:

Yes, that redirect is due to the changes that are happening at FamilySearch. "Legacy FamilySearch Module" I think that is where you are missing the Temple tab? the Title bar of the screen is Legacy FamilySearch. I call it a module as once opened you can use Legacy at the same time as that

Cathy, thank you for your response. I have the recent 9 version but what is the FamilySearch module? I am missing the Temple tab that keeps track or ordinances that I had in 8. Now the Temple tab just takes us back into the Temple tab in FamilySearch. Does anyone know if they are planning
