[LegacyUG] Making a backup of my family file
Fairly recently, my computer crashed and I lost my family file and do not want that to happen again. Can you tell me, step-by-step how to put a copy of the file on a CD. I really need specifics because I have not done this before. I did get one response, but it was not specific enough to help me. I regularly back my file up on the C drive. The file is called familyfile.fdb, and I notice that when I back it up and creates a zip file. Does that make sense?

[LegacyUG] My apology to LUG and thank you to Cathy
My sincerest apologies to the LUG for the emoticons in my IncrediMail messages. First of all, because I DO NOT send messages to myself very often (and when I do, the emoticons do not show up on mine), I was NOT aware that everyone else was getting them. After I was informed by a couple of grouchy people, I was ready to Unsubscribe, because I didn't know how to get rid of them. A special thank you to Cathy who e-mailed me with info on how I could get rid of them. Some of us newer folks are just not as computer savvy as others, and instead of just complaining, it is so much kinder if you would offer solutions, and try to be helpful.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default Browser Selection
Evening Ron, Well, Legacy says that I can use any browser I want to use; as long as I let the Legacy program know where it is located on my disk. I let Legacy know (see the details below) and the program verified that I had given it the correct hard disk address. Legacy did in fact start Google Chrome (as it should). In answer to your question you might want to follow these example/steps and you will see what I mean. I) Choose Legacy Home tab 2) Choose Bring your Legacy family file with you on a USB drive, cell phone, or PalmOS device 3) About half way down on the page a URL appears for Learn more about MojoPac by CLICKING HERE. 4) Click on by clicking here. Problem: On my machine it brings up Internet Explorer (which is not my default browser) in a separate window; instead of using my default Google Chrome browser. Comment: I thought the purpose of this particular Legacy Customize Screen was to allow you to use the browser of your choice, and/or the Alternate Word Processor of your choice, and/or the Alternate Text Editor of your choice, and/or the Alternate Adobe Acrobat Reader of your choice. Wonder why I keep getting Internet Explorer screens; when Legacy has provided us with a dedicated screen letting us choose support equipment other than the defaults chosen by Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] feeling really stupid-requesting offlist help
Elizabeth, I feel just like you do. I've brought a big datatbase into Legacy from another program and while it appeared to come over without too many glitches, I'm now finding strange couplings of sources and people who have absolutely no reason to have had that source coupled with them. Also, trying to figure out how to insert sources and events and all their associated windows have about driven me to the wall. The book has definintely NOT been of use but I did find the first set of CDs (borrowed from a friend) cleared up some of the problems with how to insert information into Sources and Events. I finally managed to get one Census looking the way that I wanted it and made my own cheat sheet so that I could redo all of the Census information the same way now and in the future. I'm still playing with the way I've entered them. Tonight I'd like to see what happens if I enter only the words US Federal Census for the Master Source List Name, then define which one it is in some other window, wondering if that would cut down on the number of entries in the Master Source List without causing problems elsewhere.

In reading The Source, 3rd Edition, I find that the census taker was to list the occupation of everyone over the age of 15. My guess now is that the word is domestic, meaning that they were over the age of 15 and did something, but not a specific job like farmer or blacksmith, etc. That would account for all of the cases I've found so far. Still, in the case of the male who was listed domestic but was the only one in the family with a value of real estate owned, it does seem odd as one would led to believe he was the one that owned the farm they were living on. Maybe he owned it but was letting his brother do the work?lol Thanks all for your input - Original Message - From: RICHARD SCHULTHIES [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 1:03 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] quick genealogy question I would also look around the neighboring pages for how many other domestics are listed, and if differentiated by types. Is it rural or urban? In major cities servants may not live on premises. He might be a domestic in a gentleman's club, and not live there.

Marcellyn __ Pat Jones wrote I'm cleaning up my database and currently working on the 1860 census. In the occupation column I keep finding a work that looks like it might be domestic; however, in this case it is applied to a male who apparently owned the place where the family was living as he is the only one with a value in the Value of real estate owned column. Is that word actually 'domestic, and if so, what does the enumerator mean by it? If it isn't domestic, what is is? Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

[LegacyUG] Where to put Notes
All, need some help with Notes. I've looked through the manual and LUG archives but haven't found the answer. I have chunks of information from various sources (books, individuals, newspapers, etc) that I want to include when any of the reports are printed. It seems to me the logical place to put them would be under Notes. I see an icon on that entry page to click on to give sources, clicked on that and entered the sources, expecting to see it print out in a report - but it didn't - and I don't see any place to make it do so. So I went to the manual and archives for help but didn't find the answer in either. I did, however, see a suggestion to a note to the bottom of my information giving a short source which I have done and like the idea. So the question remains - why isn't the full source printing out in the reports? Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features not found in the Standard Edition.

You can go to OptionsCustomize, (forgive me asut I am not on my computer with Legacy loaded) but one of the tabs allows you to select add this detail/include on reports. Once you click on that, it will run through your entire data base and click the box so the detail now appears. This is like a toggle on/toggle off switch. If at some point you decide NOT to include all that detail, you can remove the checked boxes in the same manner.

[LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
In my database is a male that was married three times. He has children by both his first and second wives. Somehow I have duplicated the names of the children and would like to get this cleaned up. I can't merge the children because while their names are duplicated and their father is the same for both duplications, their mother is different. I can't delete on of the duplicate names as the delete removes the one chosen to delete from both parents, not just one. I'm stumped! Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Let's see if I can explain this better. I think I have multiple problems. Joseph married three times by his 1st wife Elen, he had only one child, Ann by his second wife Sarah, he had two more, David and Thomas I entered Ann as the daughter of Joseph and his first wife correctly. Then, somehow I also entered the two boys as sons of Joseph and his first wife. I need to remove them and only have the two boys show up under Joseph and his 2nd wife. The two boys are also doubled under the first wife - once as if they are natural sons of Joseph and Ann, once as if they are natural to Joseph, step to Elen. When I switch to the 2nd wife, Sarah, Ann shows as a 1/2 (correct), but I have one set of sons, Thomas and David as natural to both Joseph and the 2nd wife (correct) and a repeat set as natural to Joseph and 1/2 to Elen (incorrect). I'm not at all certain how to clean up this mess. - Original Message - From: Susan Daily [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife (correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife. When I right click on them under the father and 1st wife, neither show up on the Children's setting, just the daughter which should be there. I checked both boys to see if they each have duplicates. That problem is corrected. It is the same two individuals showing up as children for the father and 1st wife and the father and 2nd wife. They are children of the father and 2nd wife only (the 1st wife was dead). I don't think the program is supposed to be showing these two boys as 1/2s of the dead wife. But I can't make it stop doing that. - Original Message - From: Sandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Hi Pat, Not sure if this will help.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
That didn't work. I even tried unlinking the boys from the unlinked wife, then adding the wife back in, then the boys under the correct wife but they showed up again under the incorrect wife as well. Is there anyone from support online? - Original Message - From: Mel Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 6:13 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Let's see if I can help I think if you open up the family that is technically incorrect ie correct father, incorrect mother and two sons. I believe the simplest way is to initially 'unlink' the incorrect mother/wife from the husband. i.e rightclick wife and click 'unlink' from husband - this is only temporary - the sons will stay with the husband, and hopefully still with their original mother. Then you will have the father only showing one named wife, but also showing the father with an 'unknown' person as mother of the first daughter. If you click on that 'unknown' wife/mother you should then be offered to 'add a new person or 'link to existing person' and the little box 'add this person to the currently displayed marriage needs to be checked. You should select Link to an existing person and then you can reattach wife #1 only to the husband and daughter #1. Hope that isnt' too complicated.

Re: [LegacyUG] run-time error 429
Sherry (and all others using Spybot Search Destroy) After I had sent the help message, I did try running the Check/Repair but that did nothing ; then, before I got your message this morning, I tried running Microsoft's System Restore and moving back to a time prior to the weekly clean-up of my computer. Then I tried running Legacy and it worked perfectly. So my gut level feeling was that something had happened when I ran one of the cleanup programs on my computer (Spybot, AVG, AdAware, CCleaner and Registry Mechanic). So I looked to see what each program had removed starting (fortunately) with Spybot. It was ICQ-SpyMonitor. Then I went to the internet and looked that up. The first site up happened to be ICQ-Spymonitor - Safer Networking Forums on which I found a post from you. Apparently by removing the supposed spyware program, for which Spybot appears to have thrown a false positive, it removed some coding that Legacy needs to run. After making certain Legacy was running properly and that I had a clean backup, I next tried cleaning up the computer with AVG and AdAware, neither of which caused any problems; however, I am still left with the supposed spyware ICQ-SpyMonitor on my computer which does bother me. So now the question is should I go ahead and run the check/repair again and then, if that does nothing, follow through with the other instructions on that help? How about the Spybot issue? Since you responded on the Safer Newworking Forum, I presume you also use Spybot?

[LegacyUG] Idea--an .fdb for background info? Plus book question.
I'm trying something new (for me): In addition to my two main family databases (paternal, maternal), I've added two databases for background info for the two families (one for each line): for example town, county, or church histories, geographical information, etc. Of course, most of the information I enter goes into the Notes section. Ordinarily I enter a new subject by clicking Add, New unlinked individual. Sometimes, however, I have a state as the father and towns, independent cities and counties as children. I like having the background info readily available -- and used to put it in under an individual -- but couldn't always remember WHICH individual! And it's so handy just to click View Name and see all the topics available. I'm not sure I'm expaining this clearly, but I'd love to have any thoughts/ideas/suggestions about how you handle background info. Also, a related question -- when printing a book from Legacy, is it possible to combine two separate databases in any way? Pat H.

Re: [LegacyUG] Idea--an .fdb for background info? Plus book question.
I originally had the two databases combined but separated them for some reason. Perhaps in part because I had two unrelated Price families and that was a nuisance. There is almost no overlap between the two families, I am an only child with no children of my own so I think that keeping them separate will work very well for me. Since I can't make a book from two databases, I think when the time comes I'll just transfer info from the background file into the notes section for a particular individual. Still it seems to me one ought to be able to intersperse background info with family data. Actually the only problem comes with page numbering, table of contents and indexing. I guess I'll cross those bridges when I get to them! Thanks for your comments!

Plus book question. Hi Pat, I'm a newcomer to the Legacy environment, but have been a researcher for 40 years, and have worked with computers since 1965. The issue of keeping separate paternal, and maternal databases has cropped up many times, and is almost always a habit carried over from when genealogical records were kept on paper. Computers can easily keep track of such distinctions, so why go to all the trouble of keeping separate databases? Our descendants will only combine the two databases after we're gone anyway. G John Zimmerman Mesa, Arizona Cathy wrote: Hi Pat, That's an interesting idea - a database for background info. However, I think for incorporation into a book, your background information would have to be handled differently - like in the notes to locations or attached to key individuals. But for reference, your idea sounds good and obviously works for you. Re combining two separate databases in a book That's why I and many others suggest you have only one family file that includes all your family. It's much easier to split a file for specific purposes than it is to combine files. It's also far easier to make sure that one database is updated than two overlapping databases. Maybe it's time you combined your paternal and maternal databases. Cathy At 12:16 AM 17/07/2007, you wrote: I'm trying something new (for me): In addition to my two main family databases (paternal, maternal), I've added two databases for background info for the two families (one for each line): for example town, county, or church histories, geographical information, etc. Of course, most of the information I enter goes into the Notes section. Ordinarily I enter a new subject by clicking Add, New unlinked individual. Sometimes, however, I have a state as the father and towns, independent cities and counties as children. I like having the background info readily available -- and used to put it in under an individual -- but couldn't always remember WHICH individual! And it's so handy just to click View Name and see all the topics available. I'm not sure I'm expaining this clearly, but I'd love to have any thoughts/ideas/suggestions about how you handle background info. Also, a related question -- when printing a book from Legacy, is it possible to combine two separate databases in any way? Pat H. Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Using EVENTS for census info WAS Linda Altman's census templates ;
I think there would be too much information and it would either overflow the little box/area used for description when printing a FAMILY Group Record or it might force the little box so far that it would corrupt the date field. I have had problems (see archives) with the date field when trying to print out the Family Group Report. Everything looks good on the computer screen but doesn't always dprint out that way. The problem involve trying to use a date like from 1884-Jan 1886 or between 1884-Jan 1886. The Report would print out okay if I changed it to read 1884-1886 but then to compensate for the now missing information I had to find another place to add the reason for the Jan 1886 date. Not a great problem. It appears that the boxes under the Family Group Report have a normal for the program setting and all BUT the Date column will expand to some degree if the information contained is longer than what the program is designed for. Hope you follow this, I can't find a better way to explain it. - Original Message - From: Randolph Clark To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Linda Altman's census templates Why not use the (empty) description field for the Roll, Page Image info? On 7/30/07, Pat Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I followed the advice of a very active and knowledgable local Legacy user (and member of this group) when I first started using Legacy about a year ago. She suggested that she used the notes section under EVENTS for displaying the census information, i.e. She added the full information for all parties shown in the census for the Head of Household, continuing that way for each census year the main party was found (in the case above, Robert Marshall). As the children broke off and were found elsewhere, they then became the head of their own household (even if single) and had the full information listed under their name. If you could look at my database, you would see that after I have entered all this information under the Head of Household, under the EVENTS notes for each individual in the census information (in this case, Mary and all the children), I have listed ONLY the information found for that individual. PROs to this method: I have the full information at my fingertips when I do research and don't have to look under the scattered SOURCES. My database if designed for my optimal research capabilities, NOT for conciseness. It also enables anyone looking at my database to see the information at a glance. This method had enabled me to find several pieces of information that I was missing and couldn't find until I set the database up this way. The census information prints out in chronological order immediately below the name and general information for the individual in the Family Group Record which I use most often. CONs you have a lot of sources, which I don't mind at all; I use the ibid feature to cut down on some of them.

Re: [LegacyUG] About dates
What do you do about sourcing info-- let's say you have a source for the location but not for the date. How do you indicate it's YOUR guesstimate and that the source is silent on the matter (since Legacy groups date location together as far as sources go for births, deaths, etc)? From: Mitch Mackrory [EMAIL PROTECTED] For example, once I have a child (any child) in a family, I assume it is the eldest child and that the parents were likely married a year prior to this. Let's say the child was born in 1856. I set the date for the marriage as BEF 1855. I now have some information to do further work on. I would record this with a Surety Level of 1 (marginal evidence). Let's assume that this helps me find the family and I now figure out that there were two older children born in 1852 and 1855. I would now change the marriage date to BEF 1851 and I may change my Surety Level to 2 (probable conclusion) if I am happy this is the whole family. If this helps me narrow down when to look for the marriage record, this is useful. Let's say I now find the index record of the marriage record. I'll use UK terminology since that is what I work on. I find an index record dated in the second quarter of 1850 and it looks good. I'll record this index info in the marriage and likely change my marriage date to Jun Q 1850; possibly even updating my Surety Level to 3 (Almost Certain Conclusion). When I get a copy of the certificate, let's say there are witnesses that confirm this is the right marriage. At that stage my marriage date changes to 14 Apr 1850 and my Surety Level might even go to 4 (Convincing Evidence). If I came across other evidence I may change my date to AFT or ABT, but I always try to estimate a reasonable date as soon as I can and then classify that assessment using the Surety Level system in Legacy. Note that if my marriage date is BEF 1851 as an example, I will likely start searching the marriage records from 1853 and work backwards for 20 plus years. Also, once I have the marriage date fixed I move on to census records (for example) to confirm that the decisions I have made are correct. I hope that helps, Mitch Mackrory Colorado, USA On 8/12/07, Valeris Garton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have many people in my database that I do not know when they were born nor when they died but have an idea as to when they were around e.g. in a directory, witness to a marriage or last child born etc. How does everyone handle this problem.

[LegacyUG] Reinstalling Legacy
QUESTION: What to download? BACKGROUND: I was having many problems with my computer (Dell) and had to reset it or whatever (Dell took over control so this was done remotely) and thereby lost all my programs. I had done a backup of everything in June, but for this I just backed up folders with new information. So I both backed up -- and also copied-- to an external hard drive the Legacy folder on my C drive (which of course includes my data folders). I have been unable to use the Restore Wizard from the Backup (at a certain stage it tells me to click on something --a tab,button,or window-I forget which-- that is not there). So, I need to download a new version of Legacy. (Incidentally, I do not have a copyof the original key I used to unlock the Deluxe features.) BACK TO QUESTION: So should I just go ahead and download and update the standard version of Legacy? OR should I go ahead and pay for the Deluxe version since I then won't have to pay for Legacy 7 when it comes out? I'll REALLY appreciate your advice! Thanks! Pat H.

Re: [LegacyUG] Default browser etc in OptionsCustomizeLaunch
Dave, Thanks so much. Windows told me to go to IE (if it had 4,5,6 and gave no instructions for 7, which is what I have). IE says it is NOT my default browser; Firefox says it IS my default browser. Which is the way I want it. However, when I click ANY link in ANY email, NOTHING happens (includes those at the bottom of your email). I have to cut and paste the url. On the other hand, when I'm on an Internet site, the browser DOES go to the site I click on. Though of course there are times when the url is not shown, but the message says, e.g. click here to go to . . . and I click on here but nothing will happen; at other times I'm taken to wherever without a problem. I haven't been very observant about when this does/does not happen. Should you respond to this off-list? Or should I just try to get help from MicroSoft or Legacy Support and not bother you!!? My computer does weird things anyway (when I was typing the preceding line, it wanted to do it in all-caps. I had to put the cap locks key ON to get it to type lowercase. This and other paragraphs worked just as they should in re cap/lc!!!) Also, in Legacy when I click on InternetLegacy Home Page and get the no default browser message, and click on OK, nothing happens -- whereas it used to go ahead and take me to the Home Page anyway (same with the other Internet options). SO-O-O, I decided to go ahead and put in Firefox as my ALTERNATE BROWSER in Legacy's OptionsCustomizeLaunch. However, even though I can put my cursor in the Alternate Web Browser space, and get a flashing straight vertical line, it will not accept single character I type. If I click on the Launch button, nothing happens. If I click on the Change button, I am taken to a folder I created L_MULTIMEDIA BU, which is in another folder I created 1L BU 20060808-1248, which is in the Data folder inside the Legacy folder, which is directly on my C drive rather than inside my Program Files.

[LegacyUG] Email accounts, pdfs--suggested options
I have 2 Outlook Express email acct's on 2 separate IDs. The first one (MainID) started getting too much SPAM so I added a 2nd ID (and email address), which is where I get email from cousins, friends, and Legacy. But when I send an email from LC it goes out from my Main ID. That's not where I want the Sent Mail stored and it's not the email address I want the LC chart recipients to respond to. Can Legacy add an option so that we can choose the email account we want to use? I also agree we ought to be able to save a chart to a .pdf BEFORE choosing to email it. I might want to create several .pdfs and then choose among them also to send Chart 3 to Cousin A and Charts 1 3 to Cousin B, etc. Pat Pat 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

Also, in Legacy when I click on InternetLegacy Home Page and get the no default browser message, and click on OK, nothing happens -- whereas it used to go ahead and take me to the Home Page anyway (same with the other Internet options). SO-O-O, I decided to go ahead and put in Firefox as my ALTERNATE BROWSER in Legacy's OptionsCustomizeLaunch. However, even though I can put my cursor in the Alternate Web Browser space, and get a flashing straight vertical line, it will not accept single character I type. If I click on the Launch button, nothing happens. If I click on the Change button, I am taken to a folder I created L_MULTIMEDIA BU, which is in another folder I created 1L BU 20060808-1248, which is in the Data folder inside the Legacy folder, which is directly on my C drive rather than inside my Program Files. SO-O-O I don't know HOW to enter a default browser. It sounds very much as if you have operating system problems, possibly a virus or spyware.

[LegacyUG] Source Citation-Recorded Date
I don't understand the recorded date on the Source info window. I am working with the 1880 census for VA, B County, which I have used on at least 1 previous occasion. Now I am using info from the same census on a different person. So under recorded date I had entered the date I first used the source. Now I am recording different info and so I want to change the recorded date. But when I change the date, I am asked if I want to change the recorded date for all references to the master source, or do I want a new copy of the master source. Well, the answer is neither--I just want to change the recorded date for the info I'm recording now, today. I do NOT want it to change the recorded date for all references to the master source, NOR do I want a new copy of the master source in my list of sources. Obviously, I don't understand the term. So, I click on help, enter recorded date in the word(s) to search for the meaning of the term and am given a list of NINETY-THREE TOPICS!! Can somebody tell me what this recorded date is supposed to be FOR?? (Of course, when I get to the Detail window there's another place where it says recorded date and has a Today's Date button to click on. This is NOT the window I'm talking about now, but since the same term of recorded date appears in both windows, I would conclude they're both referring to the same information. It doesn't quite make sense to me.) And I doubt that I'm quite making sense too! But thanks for any help!

[LegacyUG] Privatizing help needed
Thanks Ron. I'd like to post my database on Ancestry (it's been on Rootsweb for years). After I submit a complete GEDCOM (not privatized), Rootsweb allows me to control what will and will not be shown and I don't show anyone who was born in 1910 or after unless there is a death date for them. Unfortunately Ancestry doesn't give me that kind of control so I've never sent them a GEDCOM Legacy will let me fix the database so that I can outwit Ancestry (I hope).

Re: [LegacyUG] How to List a Location
Is there a website for European, etc., countries that shows correct location names, depending on date? (I feel sure there's not as it would be far too complicated -- ) but I suppose there could be some for particular areas -- e.g., the former Holy Roman Empire (that would be a challenge in itself). Does anyone know?? Pat - Original Message - From: CN To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2007 4:37 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How to List a Location Keith, I'm not sure if I can fully answer your question, but a couple of bits of info that might help. First, the umlaut in German is there to indicate a slight change of pronunciation over the pure vowel. When the umlaut cannot be reproduced for whatever reason the correct spelling is to add an 'e' after the vowel with the umlaut. That means that your town should be spelt Büchig or Buechig. If you speak German this site may be of use (and there are some photos at the bottom of the page): http://ka.stadtwiki.net/B%C3%BCchig_%28Stutensee%29 This site implies that Buechig is a suburb (Stadtteil) of a town called Blankenloch which in itself is a part of a greater town conglomeration (Großen Kreisstadt) of Stutensee. This is within what we would probably call in the UK the borough council area of Karlsruhe (Landkreis). I didn't get the map out, but I am sure you will find a cluster of smaller villages or towns around Stutensee, which is then the administrative town/city for the area. My vote for how to reference it would be: Blankenloch (Buechig), Karlsruhe, Baden-Wuerttenburg, Germany but of course it depends which time period you are talking about since Germany didn't really exist as one entity until the end of the C19th (and of course its borders have been redrawn several times since then). The addition of Kahlsruhe and Germany to the above reference probably only make sense in a C20th context, for instance.

Re: [LegacyUG] To be a Lumper or a Splitter
On Lumping vs Splitting -- sorry I'm way behind on my Legacy email -- I may do both. One thing I am DEFINITELY a splitter on is using GenForum--I list (e.g.) Doe Family Genforum #216 Doe Family Genforum #341 Doe Family Genforum #562 That way I can easily quickly see whether I have already used and incoporated info from that particular posting (and the individuals to whom I have added the data). And it's NOT especially time-consuming to do that in the first place -- if I'm going to add a new post, say Doe Family Genforum #442, I'll just highlight #341, click Edit, enter changes as needed, click Save and when I am asked whether I want to change the Master Source or Save to a new source, I choose the latter. I can't imagine entering all the author, title, and publication info into the Detail--wouldn't I have to enter it all over again rather than just make changes in existing info that is already on the screen??

[LegacyUG] UPSET BY MESSAGES?? -- SUGGESTION for procedure.
I notice that whenever I click on reply, the email address of the emailer is displayed. SO-O-O if we don't like the tone of that emailer's email, why don't we have a rule that we (as individuals) will address the emailer directly rather than sending the message to the entire group?? We could still manually enter [LegacyUG] at the beginning of the subject line and write a message rule so that it would go into the Legacy folder in our email programs (rather than into SPAM). I imagine that in our lives all of us have gotten irritated at some point and said something rude -- and felt totally justified in expressing our anger -- and sooner (or) later when we calmed down regretted the expression of the irritation. And I feel pretty certain that every one of us has intentionally -- or inadvertently -- irritated someone else (e.g., using html because it's more interesting or prettier and not realizing the technical reasons that we we shouldn't use it for mailing lists). So if someone wants to inform someone else of that kind -- or any other kind -- of mistake, why not just email that one individual? If it's something that a LOT of us are doing, then of course it would be appropriate to send a (preferably COURTEOUS) message to the entire group. And if we're angry about something at the time we write the message, perhaps we could just save it and read it again the next day and perhaps edit it before sending it. When I'm feeling perfectly calm and happy and then read an angry or abusive email I find it difficult to return to a happy frame of mind -- and then I might take my annoyance out on somebody else -- I'm sure I've sent off some annoyed emails, but I for one hereby resolve from henceforth to try to keep it from creeping into my emails. If we want more conflict in our lives, all we have to do is to turn on the news!

[LegacyUG] Bibliography Leg v 6.0.0.155
This is a pretty elementary question, but I don't seem to be able to find the answer. In Legacy 6.0.0.155, in our list of sources, the present format begins with a sort of nickname for the source. (no prescribed format) The sources are grouped in alphabetical order by this nickname. That is, the sources are not grouped by type; and then alphabetized by author's last name (to grossly over-simplify), as would typically be the case. So my question is how DO I get to a view of sources in a standard form -- in other words, how do I see what the bibliography will look like (I assuming entries WILL be in a standard form) if I do a Legacy book?

I'm with you that a cemetery record is a cemetery record and that the way its conveyed (rubbing, transcription, or photo) is more the medium than the message! :-) I like your idea of putting the type at the beginning of the Source name. On the other hand, I tend to put the family name first because I think that otherwise I won't remember how to find it easily. Well, as you say, we'll just have to wait for Leg 7 (wait, hope, and pray)! Really, we need to be able to sort sources much in the same way a library does.

With v6, though, there is no way I have found to do a formal bibliography other than exporting the data to an external program and working on it there. It would be great if the new sourcing templates allowed you to sort first by source type. For now, I use the Source List Name field (the one not printed in the output) to list a source type first and then give a name for it. However, the source lists still prints with comma as separators instead of periods and does not sort the way a standard bibliography would. The term source type can also be confusing. Would that be book vs. media, original court record vs. microfilm at archives, etc? We almost need two fields, one for media type and another for source type. Sometimes I have two distinct sources in Legacy for a single cemetery: one for the photo I took while visiting and another for the entries I found in an online database at the same cemetery (when I forgot to take the photo during the visit). To me, they are the same source type (i.e. cemetery), but different media types (visit or photo vs. database).

[LegacyUG] attaching .pdf files instead of photo
I am very confused. I thought we were supposed to attach a .pdf file (as opposed to a picture) in Legacy in the following manner. Save the .pdf to a folder. In Legacy click on the picture iconclick on Sound Browse to the folder that has the .pdf file To find it, click on All files Open it Fill in Legacy caption info etc. click OK It displays a picture that says Sound!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplex Printing for Books
If not you can print the odd pages then turn the stack over and print the even pages on the back of the corresponding odd pages. Not all printers have that option (e.g., mine) -- however it will print duples, which of course is the same thing. But I have had a printer that would do neither.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort Number Portion Numerically?
I am just now reading some old messages on Legacy UG and I am not understanding something basic -- why would anybody have a picture filename that is just a number? I sort pictures by name of subject--and type of subject matter. Obviously I'm missing something, including the beginning of this discussion.

Rob: This is not a Legacy problem. It is a Windows / computer feature. If you want the files to sort correctly you will need to use something like this: MS0001 - file name.tif MS0010 - file name.tif MS0100 - file name.tif MS0002 - file name.tif MS0020 - file name.tif MS0200 - file name.tif MS0003 - file name.tif MS0030 - file name.tif The trick is to use the same number of digits each time. Your name scheme basically uses a blank after the digit and that is why it gets sorted early.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting sources
Sorry, slow reading my email. The sources are there, Wendy, just need them to be better organized, more uniform/consistent, etc. I just don't want to move components around, etc., and then want to do it differently once I have v7. But there are a lot of things I could do without a problem, I think. I'm very much a splitter so there may be a lot to do. If you don't include your sources now, as you enter your data, will you remember each and every item you've entered that needs a source attached by the time you acquire v7, to go back and add it? I know I wouldn't. If I were you, I would either (a) attach source information as the data is entered regardless of what version is being used, or (b) hold off entering anything new until v7 is installed. I wouldn't rely on remembering to go back and include the source information at a later date. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wendyh65/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/ 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 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
