RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a Best Fit Ancestor
Jenny, I actually agree with both yourself and Connie. In my first comment on this thread I said that I would quite likely leave them unlinked, as per Connie's method, but obviously whether I would or not does depend on the strength of the evidence. It is, of course, a matter of judgement when one does decide to link two people, and like yourself I would set the surety levely to an appropriate level.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to Represent a Best Fit Ancestor
Paula, That is far from a stupid question, and is one which I have often asked myself. Like yourself, I am sure I have used it in both ways, as an assessment of the strength of the reporting, or of the evidence itself. So I suppose my answer would be that it is an assessment as to the overall likelihood of the evidence being correct, relevant and appropriate. A rather vague definition but, as far as I can see the best we've got!

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
Cathy, To answer the first part of your question, I do have a repository Personal Possession of the Author. I use this for any original document, book, etc., that I actually own and possess. To answer the second part, I just did a quick test on one of my citations of a book that is in the local library. I have a copy of the page that I am citing. I entered a Comment in the Source Detail, copy of this page in the author's possession. When I ran the report, I chose End notes, but I unclicked the option to combine multiple citations into one paragraph. The comment appeared in both instances of the citation. If I were you, this is what I would do. Dede Holden On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 2:27 AM, RICHARD SCHULTHIES fourpa...@verizon.net wrote: I have two examples on my thinking.

Strictly speaking, your Sources should reflect where *you* obtained the evidence for the data you have recorded, so it follows that if you own a copy of the book you consulted, then you are the repository. If you have provided full details of the publication it should not be difficult for another researcher to find another copy of your source if your own is unavailable to them. If I go to my local library and look something up in a book, I would (if I bothered to record repositories!) name my local library as the repository. I wouldn't see any need to record all the other places where that book was available, even if that was possible. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

[LegacyUG] Legacy and MS Access
I keep three .fdb files (bob1.fdb, bob2.fdb and bob3.fdb) plus off site files as well as a GEDCOM just to be sure I don't lose my current and original data. Currently, I use Access only for informational purposes in a couple of tables in Access - mostly to check out Source numbers and/or Detail Number I assigned and then save tdata as an Excel file where I am able to print some reports, etc. However, if I change anything in a column while in MS Access and want it to appear in my basic Legacy file, how do I do that? For example, if I change a 'bob1.fdb' file to 'bob1.mdb' file, open it and change an item, how do I get this 'bob1.mdb' back to a useable 'bob1.fdb'? I think I tried it once and all I got were errors, so thankfully, I was able to resurrect my 'bob2.fdb' file and continue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources Not Printing On To-Do List/Research Log
Thank you, Brian. For anyone else who might be interested in using Legacy the To Do feature as a proper Research Log, here is the workaround I've come up with. I actually like it so much (since it puts the source on the same page as the tasks and results), I may continue to use it even when the bug is fixed. I enter the source, then copy and paste it into the Task Description field. Example: Finish transcription of all Big Creek records pertaining to Jesse Hancock Source: Regular Baptist Church at Big Creek Baptist (Henry Co., Iowa), Church records, 1836-1863, FHL microfilm 986,171, item 8.

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository of Photos and other items
This is not too confusing at all, especially since we recently had a thread resulting in a bug report about the Text box of a Source not printing every time (even when checked to do so). ;) I think the repository is supposed to be the ultimate repository... where someone would go to see the document. Your approach to put I have a copy or some such in the Comments box print it on those reports where you want someone to know they can get a copy from you is the right approach, imho. The bug in printing just makes it look like it's not the right approach.

For some, I am the only repository (i.e. a photo of a grave marker). In this case I am considering listing me as the repository. Does anyone have an opinion or suggestion? For others, a library or government agency is the actual repository plus I have a copy. However, I can't use 2 repositories. Does anyone have an idea for where to note that I have a copy? I tried putting it in the Comments box for the source and checking to print it on reports every time, but the Comment Box information only prints the first instance and not the second time it is listed in the end notes so it looks like I don't have a copy of any document citing the second entry even though it's the exact same source entry.

[LegacyUG] Witness event sentence structure
To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if the event Witness came to me with the L7 upgrade or if I added myself, but I do know I read about it on this list then started using it. Now I see that the sentence structure I have is skimpy and geared only toward use as a marriage event. All fields are displayed but [Desc/Notes] witnessed this marriage. no matter what fields are entered, and without sources. Tonight I was wanting to add a Witness event to an individual... my grandmother's sister was one of the witnesses for my grandmother's marriage. Maybe it's too late at night to start working on a sentence structure, but I can't figure out how to make this event work in either case: Marriage: So and so witnessed this marriage. Individual: So and so witnessed the marriage of the other ones on date in place. If you have tried this or have any suggestions, please do share.
