Hi Cathy, I appreciate your taking the time to help troubleshoot this. I will submit a bug report. And thanks for pointing out the note at the end of Section 11.23.
Have a great week, Barton On Sun, May 17, 2015 at 11:06 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Barton, Yes I went to the same template. Yes the Repository line is blank as are all the fields. When a repository is pre-entered, it limits the use of the template. If I were using Land and Property records they'd be Australian or English records and I'd have to work out which template was the most appropriate - whether one of these land and property records or something else. I can add a repository as you describe and don't get a freeze. Re your query earlier about another number. EE says at the end of section 11.23: CITING DOCUMENT NUMBERS As illustrated by the Rowland example in note 3 above, many U.S. land office files have multiple document numbers—application numbers, claim numbers, register and receiver numbers, final certificate numbers, patent numbers, etc. When you cite a number, you should include any descript ive words that are attached to that number. I was using "setting" loosely to refer not only to Legacy settings but also to computer settings. Re Legacy, for a start I use Legacy with Australian English. Even that sometimes makes a difference. Cathy BARTON LEWIS wrote: Hi Cathy, so are you choosing the same template I did (Section 11.23 ... Land and Property records > Homestead files > Basic format)? Is the Repository line not blank, and when you click on the arrow, there are no options? I clicked on the "+" to add NARA, and I freeze. But that's not happening to you? What would the setting difference be that you referred to? I'll await submitting a bug report in case we're not on the same page here and you're doing something different than what I'm doing. I appreciate your help. Barton On Sun, May 17, 2015 at 09:48 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Barton, If you want to alert Legacy to problems with the Templates, you have to submit a BUG report. Re the Repository, you can add any repository from the Source Info tab in that template (Click the plus sign at the end of the Repository line) or the Repository Tab (Click Add). If NARA is already amongst your repositories, you can, of course, select. I'm not getting a freeze - which doesn't mean you aren't - just that we may have different settings somewhere. Some templates have the repository "hard-wired" as there is only one archive for the information - eg US Census - but other templates are more general and can be used for sources from different repositories - eg Land Sources from another country. Cathy Barton Lewis wrote: Hi Cathy, okay, thanks. There is a problem with the template (Section *11.23, homestead files, basic format). When I click on repository, there are no options (NARA should be listed). When I try to add NARA myself, the screen freezes and I am forced to shut down Legacy. This was an issue with another source template some time ago. LUG support, can this be fixed please? I want to add these important sources to my database!

The field is on the screen where you choose a Source Template - the top field which can be used to search the templates. C Barton Lewis wrote: Cathy, sorry, I’m lost. What do you mean by “section number?� The section in EE? Where is the “what kind of source do I want� field?

You can type the section number into the "What kind of source do you want to cite" field. Cathy Barton Lewis wrote: I would like to record my ho mestead land entry files as illustrated in EE. I went to the Source Template Index and found Homestead Files > Land and Property Records > Homestead Files > Basic Format but it doesnâââ⠂¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t seem to gibe with the format on EE. I thought this would be the appropriate template since I obtained hard copies from NARA directly. I also looked at templates under BLM, most of which were DVD/CD-ROM options. I thought Legacy created most of its templates based on EE’s directives and so am wondering if there is some other template I should be using.* EE references “Record Group 49� in her example for citing a whole &nb sp; (Homestead) file but a reco rd group is nowhere referenced in the paperwork I receiv ed. And in the receipt NARA sent there was handwritten notation in the box “File Designation� “Bx. 799,� and EE does not include such a field in her example, as follows: Robert Vandament (Chase County) homestead file, final certificate no. 328, Lincoln, Nebraska, Land Office; Land Entry Papers, 1800-1908; Records of the Bureau of Land Management, Record Group 49, National Archives, Washington, DC. I wonder why EE doesn’t include the Box Number? I would think that’s impor tant if they sent me it to me. Most importa ntly, though, which template follows EE’s format for a land entry file? &nbs p; Thanks, Barton Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
