Re: [LegacyUG] Correction for pre Oklahoma

Between 04 July 1819 and 15 June 1836, today's Oklahoma land was part of the incorporated Territory of Arkansaw (yes, this is correctly spelled). On 15 Nov 1824 and again on 06 May 1828, a western portion of the Arkansaw Territory was given up as a result of Indian treaties. The panhandle of what is now part of Oklahoma was claimed by the Republic of Texas prior to 29 Dec 1845. From that date until 02 May 1890, this 170 mile strip of land remained unassigned, or /No Man's Land./ Settlers unofficially referred to this area as Cimarron Territory. After 1890, the unassigned area became part of Oklahoma Territory (not the state). _On 16 Mar 1896, land that made up Greer County, Tesas (the state) became part of Oklahoma Territory (not the state). This area is now located in Beckham, Greer, and Jackson Counties in Oklahoma._ Then on 16 Nov 1907, the Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were combined to form the State of Oklahoma. Long story short, depending on the date and location, an area that is now in Oklahoma may be designated as having been in: 1) French Territory 2) Republic of Texas 3) Texas 4) Arkansaw Territory 5) Indian Territory 6) Oklahoma Territory 7) Cimarron Strip (unofficial) 8) Oklahoma Legacy sometimes does not recognize the differences and objects to one of these locations, however, it is what it is.

[LegacyUG] Column Width on Assigned Sources window
Will try this again since it appears no one responded to it the first time. Is there a way to save the width settings on the columns once you resize them in the assigned source window? I have to continuously widen them every time I open the source window so that I can see the source detail or I have to click edit to see it. I couldn't find anything in Help about it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mail
Donna, as another gmail user I would suggest checking your spam folder. I do not know why but sometimes LUG mail will wind up going to spam. If this is what happened, you can do one of two things: you can go into the filtering options and set LUG mail as NOT SPAM or you can check your spam daily and send the LUG mail back to your inbox. Usually a couple of days of doing this will correct the problem. I hope this helps.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy and County Names
As I've read all the replies on this thread, I am thoroughly convinced of three things. 1. The political subdivisions of the United States are nowhere near uniform. Each state does as it pleases (which is what our Constitution stipulates). 2. Address location anywhere in the UK is only understood by someone born there. 3. The state of New York has the most confusing addressing system anywhere in the world. 4. I never understood math. Brian in CA -Original Message- From: Scott Hall [mailto:seh0...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 8:19 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and County Names Brian: This is an excellent system I think I'll adopt. I notice Slawson's Getting it Right is silent on this point, but provides examples that use descriptors such as City or County, especially when the city / town and county share the same name. I adopted the four comma approach when I switched to Legacy, principally because I got better verification from the GeoDB. I'm now of the opinion that the GeoDB be damned, adding County or Township helps avoid ambiguity. I think the four comma approach is still a good alternative, but the straw that pushes me to modify it to an approach similar to yours is that I find it too common that the city is not often known, and in many cases may be the town or township. For example, a record for one of my ancestors may indicate an event that took place in Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. Is that Muncy Borough or Muncy Township? How would you record it if you did not know? The trick in getting this right is knowing each state's govermental entity hierarchy. Having grown up in New York State, I am used to the Village inside a Town inside a County system. For example, I grew up just outside of Shortsville, a small incorporated village in the town of Manchester, which is located in Ontario County. Despite having a Shortsville mailing address and attedning the Manchester-Shortsville school system, I actually lived inside the neighboring town of Hopewell, within no incorporated village. So, if one were listing where I spend my childhood, it would be: Town of Hopewell, Ontario County, New York, USA While I could just say Hopewell and leave off town, it would become ambigous if I were referring to Manchester, the neighboring town where I went to school, as the Town of Manchester has within it a village also named Manchester. So, like the Muncy example, clarity come from listing like this: Village of Manchester (or just Manchester), Town of Manchester, Ontario County, New York, USA But here is the $64,000 question the four comma approach says city OR town, county, state, country. Is it then overkill to consistently use a five comma approach? A month ago I might of said yes, but now I say no. What do you think? In Massachusetts, where I live now, the system is similar, except there are no incorporated villages or any incorporated government below the town level. There are plenty of unincorporated villages and places, but the lowest level of government is the town. As with New York, towns are within counties, although some Massachusetts counties have been disbanded and exist only for historical geographic purposes (such as Hampden County). I currently live within the Town of Grafton, located in Worcester County. Thus the listing could be: Grafton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA Beacuse there is nothing lower than Grafton, it is probably not necessary to say Town of Grafton. But now we have state-by-state variation, and that could get confusing. While Massachusetts is similar to Pennsylvania in that the town (MA) or township / borough (PA) is the lowest form of government, its different from that of NY, where villages are smaller that towns. So, although obvious, perhaps its better to say: Town of Grafton, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA which would align the method with that of New York. Thoughts?

I've observed that this practice has evolved somewhat over the past decade. Seems originally somebody thought the nice, clean method of City, County, State, (optional Country) was the prescribed method. But I immediately saw a problem in that many cities, townships, and counties all have the same name. For example, the city of Mudville, in Mudville Township, in Mudville County. When you run across some source that left out the critical location word and only provided Mudville, State or Mudville, Mudville, State (as in Ancestry's 1880 census reports), then are they talking the city of Mudville or the township of Mudville.

RE: [LegacyUG] pre Oklahoma
the reason most refer only to the French because France was the first to encourage settlement because they wanted a population as a buffer to the Spanish territories and they didn't want the British taking their territories because they didn't have enuff troops to defend against the British. After US bought the land from the French, the eastern part of Oklahoma was in the Upper Louisiana Territory and then it became the Missouri Territory before becoming the Oklahoma Territory Indian Territory. In the early 19th century US borders were very fluid and changing with even Canada having area which is now the USA. So to identify what location a person lived within one most know the history of the area in question. Remember family history came first and they make up the general history one studies in school.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy and County Names
There are even smaller areas that received nicknames over the years. My mom-in-law always referred to one area as the Patch. On a census I found, on the left-hand column, a reference to Groves Patch. I'm now using that as in ...Area, Township, County, State, Country. It pinpoints exactly where they lived. I've also started using defining words in names. Such as: Benjamin Magnolia Wallick. There are quite a few Benjamin Wallicks in my line and by inserting the city, Magnolia, where he lived, I know immediately which one he is.
