Re: [LegacyUG] Where to store my scans?
I've started directing my backup files to my Dropbox folder. I don't normally back up the multimedia files when I backup my Legacy file, but did so when I started this habit just so there was a copy there for safekeeping (as well as other backups elsewhere). Having the files in Dropbox means that I have the latest backup available where-ever I am, as long as I can get online, and a copy is automatically transferred to my other computer straight away (or as soon as it gets online if it isn't at that moment). For my family history stuff, I have a folder under Documents (the Vista equivalent of XP's My Documents) called Family Documents. Under that there are folders called Correspondence, Documents, Photos, Transcriptions, etc. Within each of those folder, where numbers have necessitated further splitting, there's a folder for each of my parents surnames. Within the various folders, files have names that make it quick and easy to find what I want. Documents start with the name of the party concerned, then the date and type of event. Census images get named by their file reference, with the name I'm interested in in brackets at the end. Correspondence is named by date then name. Documents |---Family Documents | |---Census | |---Dad | |---1861 RG9 3561 f121 p7(Thomas PLAYFORTH) | |---Mum | |---Correspondence | |---Dad | |---2009-07-31 email from John DOE | |---Mum | |---Documents | |---Dad | |---SMITH John Doe, 1887-08, birth certificate | |---Mum ...etc 1887-08 being August 1887, to force sorting into date order within the same name. 2009-07-31 means 31 July 2009, also to force sorting by date of the document. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] v7.4.0.38 - New General Release Build - 25 April 2010
Rich, I don't think that they are any different from any other family, except that their trees are more readily available. The number of descendants which one has available depends on how many generations one goes back and which non-direct line ancestors one wishes to include. Status is not relevent. After around 10years research I have some 4000 relatives ie those with a connection to my family, no matter how distant. Where very large files are likely to be more more common are with One-Name studies, especially when many people are contributing their research. In my view, many number counters simply download trees from, say Ancestry, without checking each record to ensure its accuracy and present it as their own work. To my mind this is not genealogy, and I certainly would not find any satisfaction in doing this. A tree of 2000 well researched and documented individuals is much more valuable historically, and to the family involved. So, Graham, I agree with you. You are missing nothing and probably have a much superior tree than number crunchers. However, I am not suggesting that all large trees may be defective, just many of them!

This is corrections and additions to the program. It is never required to do the download each time. Some people wait a few days to see if it had new problems ( not as often as in the past), or wait until the list of changes gets too long, or affects what you use most.

[LegacyUG] People in your tree
All of you are in another league from me. I have 1000 names, and was surprised to have so many. My ancestors all flew below the radar. Very few owned property, none left wills, and most moved all over the place. I have 15 Philadelphia addresses for one grandfather, plus 2 Trenton ones, and he had children born in Lafayette, Spring Hill, and at least one other place in Pennsylvania. He also seems to have avoided the census takers, and he was not the only one. My mother lived in Lebanon and Pittsburgh in PA, NJ, Denver, Wyoming and Pasadena (before she was 25). Fortunately she talked to me about where she lived.I was able to find one line (all of whom are engineers or accountants) but the rest are blank. And I cannot get them across the ocean/ Elizabeth C Graham wrote: Hello all, I am just wondering how so many people have 20,000 plus in their family tree.

I have direct ancestors, Zacharia Rice (1731-1811) and Abigail Hartman (1742-1789), who had 21 children, all well documented.

Re: [LegacyUG] Formatting not sticking on citation comments?
Brian: I sent you the following, with screenshots, to your e-mail: The easiest way to see this is via screen shot. Please see attached. For the person attached I entered the birth information, hit ALT+2 to record the Master Source. Prompt for Detail is enabled, so the Source Clipboard appeared. Under Text/Comments I typed some additional citation information, for which the citation rules require a portion to be italicized. (Screen shot 1). I hightlighted the material and clicked the italicize button. The text, as expected, italicized. (Screen Shot 2). Notice that the Output Preview changed as well. I clicked Add this Source Citation ... I saved the record and noticed on the Assigned Sources screen, the Detail Comments shows the additional text properly formatted (Screen Shot 3). BUT .. when I re-enter the Source Detail screen, and click the Text/Comments tab, the formatting has been removed. (Screen Shot 4). If I click Save again, the formatting has now been removed on the Assigned Sources screen as well. (Screen Shot 5). The additional place this occurs is when entering data on another line, say Death. Because Legacy remembers the data in the Source Detail clipboard, when I hit ALT+2 and the clipboard appears, all of the information I had entered before is still there ... good, because they came from the same source. But, I can't simply save because the Source Detail formatting is wrong -- in this case, the italicized portion is no longer italicized.

Interesting how we humans do that: My baby walked at nine months - MY baby walked at eight months! My child read before kindergarten - MY child was reading at birth! My genealogy has 10 million people - I may have only 1 million, but they all are documented by original sources (the actual certificates). My (whatever) is bigger/better/fancier/more expensive/less expensive/more green/ ad infinitum than yours! The my method is right according to me, so yours MUST be wrong, is a belief of those who are need the support of others because they really doubt their method. And so it goes.

The number of descendants which one has available depends on how many generations one goes back and which non-direct line ancestors one wishes to include. Status is not relevent. After around 10years research I have some 4000 relatives ie those with a connection to my family, no matter how distant. Where very large files are likely to be more more common are with One-Name studies, especially when many people are contributing their research. In my view, many number counters simply download trees from, say Ancestry, without checking each record to ensure its accuracy and present it as their own work. To my mind this is not genealogy, and I certainly would not find any satisfaction in doing this. A tree of 2000 well researched and documented individuals is much more valuable historically, and to the family involved. So, Graham, I agree with you. You are missing nothing and probably have a much superior tree than number crunchers. However, I am not suggesting that all large trees may be defective, just many of them!

Prior to the latest update, when I ran the set relationships it worked fine. I have nearly 69,000 people in my program, I have the set selationships set at 10 Closest relationships and 0 closest paths, this will result in over 100,000 checked paths. The counter would increase by 500 at a time and this process would take approximately 5 minutes. I have run the set relationships several times since the update was installed yesterday, each time the program works properly until it reaches 3500, then it stops, hangs or freezes, whatever yuo want to call it. I just tried it again, it went to 3500 and stopped, I waited 20 minutes and it was still at 3500, I clicked cancel and waited 2 minutes, nothing changed, I clicked cancel again, this time I noticed at the top of the set relationships window the following: (Not Responding). I waited another 2 minutes then clicked cancel, after waiting another 2 minutes I clicked the X box on the upper right side of the set relationships window. A new popup window with End Program came up and I clicked the End now, this closed my Legacy program.

[LegacyUG] Missing citation in Mills' book for family trees found online?
OK, Elizabeth Shown Mills fans ... while I like Mills' book a lot, it still seems a little light on information found online. I can find no information on how to properly cite family trees and GEDCOMs files published to the web. ProGenealogists provides guidance, but beause Legacy Source Writer's tempates are based on Mills book and she seem to omit this source, I can't find a good Source Writer template to use. Even though the data extracted is a secondary source, until it is verified and repalced with a primary source, I want to ensure its cited properly. For all you neurotic, gotta-get-the-citation-right researchers like me, which template do you use?

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing citation in Mills' book for family trees found online?
Evidence Explained should not be viewed as a cook book where one can find an example of each and every type of citation one would ever encounter. It should be used to learn the principles of citation. Very rarely do I find I can just copy an example (or use a Legacy template) exactly. On p. 347, EE provides an example for Ancestral File, which is an online family tree. The components of that example would apply to any type of online family tree, IMO. Gedcom files are discussed on p. 157, although I believe the entire section on archives and artifacts, as well as the indexed references to websites are relevant. Ask yourself what is the basic type of source you are dealing with? My answer would be an online database, so I use the Internet Database template. Examples: Grace Smith, Smith Family Tree, database (public member family trees), Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 14 Mar 2010), entry for John Smith, b. 1694. No sources are cited.

Re: [LegacyUG] Missing citation in Mills' book for family trees found online?
Hi Scott, Doing a search in the SourceWriter templates for gedcom there is a gedcom template that even references Mill's _EE_. However, this template does not address online family trees, but rather addresses actual gedcom files obtained from another researcher. I believe that for the online family trees, the generic online database template would work, with fields filled out to match _EE_ as appropriate. (see page 156 - section 3.44).

[LegacyUG] Charting Colors
Does the Mary Hill color theme mean anything in Descendency charts? Or is that only applicable to Pedigree charts?

Re: [LegacyUG] Charting Colors
Dave, You can use the Mary Hill color scheme in descendant charts. The only people who will appear in color, however are those who are ancestors of the starting person for the Mary Hill scheme. you cannot apply the Mary Hill color scheme to descendants of a person.
