RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Report - Spacing of Event/Fact Notes
There was a problem reported in June regarding formatting problems with multi-line text fields converted back to Legacy after being edited in Families. This was caused because iOS separates lines with newline characters, whereas Windows requires both newline AND carriage return. This problem was fixed in Families Sync 1.2.0 released on June 21. We've received no further reports of problems since then, and I've just tried editing a notes field in Families then transferring the file back to Legacy and it worked fine. However, if anyone still has any formatting problems in files transferred from Families to Legacy using Families Sync 1.2.0 or later, then please report the details to supp...@telgen.co.uk or via the forum at www.telgen.co.uk/families/forum.

Thanks Dennis. I'd be interested to find out if anyone who is synching between Legacy and Families 1.0 are experiencing inserted LF and CR characters!

Many of her memo (Access data type) fields had extra LF and CR characters. There were way too many problems for it to be attributed to pilot error. She thought that it might have been caused by moving her file back and forth to the Families program on her ipad. I asked her to conduct a small test to look for the introduction of these extra characters. I haven't heard back from her so I don't think she has done so. IIRC, she said the problem started in August. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools/Custom Programming) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources
*I think it is. I have some sources in my file where I indicate, From the conversation of Aunt Melissa's son, 1992. As long as they are his or her *personal* knowledge or personal memories conveyed directly to you, I would say it is fine. Personal knowledge and/or personal memories are master sources to me. On the other hand, when a person says to me, Well, Joe said his brother's son's wife's sister's daughter found out one of our ancestors used to live in Miami, I don't accept that as a solid source. No way to track that back and confirm it. To me, that would be more of a secondary source, and worth a note. To me, unconfirmable sources are not primary sources. They can either secondary sources or just notes. I have even sat down with a relative with a list of questions, two gallons of tea, a tape recorder, and just ask questions and let him/her talk, answer my questions, and usually I get a few stories in the process! Later, I get someone to transcribe the tape for me so I can a paper copy and a audio copy. It helps- if I later talk to someone else, and they wonder where I got that, I can show the transcript. I am VERY careful that I don't share anything accusatory or inflammatory with another family member. That is a good bridge burner. * *Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!

RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Report - Spacing of Event/Fact Notes
I have been keeping up with the updates to Families and I currently have 1.3.1 installed on my iPad. I synced back to my laptop on October 10th and recently found the bad spacing in Legacy Individual Reports. The last good report showing correct spacing was created on September 18th, prior to the sync from Families. I found last night that if I go into each instance of the bad spacing in Legacy and just do a 'Save', the issue is fixed. There is nothing visibly wrong with the notes in Legacy. I didn't make any changes, just saved it. Lesson learned. If I make updates in Families, I will make note of what I changed before syncing back to my laptop. Then when I sync, I will double-check them in Legacy and make sure that I create and review my webpages and the reports that I commonly create and use in research before overwriting my master Legacy copy of the database. I will report this to Families Support later today.

[LegacyUG] Four-color filing system --question
In an earlier thread, Laura asked: IF you are using this system, HOW do you handle a person who is in more than one line such as person who is blood related on both the paternal grandfather (blue) and the maternal grandmother sides (yellow)? This happens a lot in my trees because of the intermarriages between families Then I wrote: If the person is female, she is with her parents (whatever color that family unit is) before her marriage, and with her husband (whatever color his family unit is) after she's married. Or did I completely misunderstand that part? Question for those of you using Mary Hill's system: Was I correct?

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources (email, repository)
I don’t use the source or the phrase “personal knowledge” unless the person actually witnessed the event. If great Aunt Marge tell me the dates of birth of her children, that would be personal knowledge. If Great Aunt Marge tells me her father’s date of birth I would simply source that as an interview.

[LegacyUG] Timeline Error
Helpful Legacy Users: I have been reviewing all my Legacy Training videos prior to lending them to a friend. In the process, I was reminded of the timelines that can be added to an individual's chronology. I have used these in the past and, in fact, created my own timeline about Chinese immigration to Hawaii. Imagine my surprise when I tried to add a chronology - or find the one I created - and discovered there are no timelines. When I try to see the list I get Error Displaying Timeline List; Error 9: Subscript out of range. I did go to the archives to see what they said about Error #9. I must say the cure sounds worse than the problem. Deleting all files with the ending usr seems extreme. What will happen if I do this? How will it bring back the timelines? Where could they have gone? I must say it has probably been a couple of years since I looked at timelines. I am using the latest build.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual Events vs Marriage Events
Thank you all for your answers!!! There are a couple of good suggestions. I'm going to try a few and see what they look like on reports!!! Again, Thank you all for your input. Great response, as usual!! Marli Yoder A M Farms Eureka Sturgeon Missouri From: MarksLady ka...@miprofgenie.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Mon, November 7, 2011 1:51:56 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Events vs Marriage Events When I do a census, first of all I add a fact - -- Census, Federal 1900 (or whatever census is being done) And I add the details - Elyria, Lorain, Ohio, USA and the full date that the census was done. NOT ENUMERATION DAY... Then in my notes I transcribe what I see in the census listing. I give the head of household a full listing of EVERYONE in the household that is listed on that census entry. If there is someone not related I include in my notes that persons status. If unrelated and I know that for a fact I state that. After doing that, I use the repeat button, I go to each person that was listed in that household and I give them the listing that pertains to them. It is sourced exactly like I do with the head of household. The image is given to the head of household for that census. Once a person marries and becomes head of household then they begin having the main note and images linked to them. The only things linked to the marriage would be a copy of the marriage record/Certificate, copy of a newspaper write up on the marriage or a scanned image of the wedding invitation. If a divorce occurred and I somehow had documentation of that it would be linked to the marriage to support the divorce date if known. I do the same with birth facts birth Certificates, death fact death certificates, Obituaries (I type all in), and burial usually has the headstone photo linked. Hope this is clearer than mud and it helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Timeline Error
It restores the originals - resetting them to default. I don't know why things like that work - I'm not a programmer. I just know that's the recommended solution to that error, along with the other steps. The Legacy.usr file is the one with the biggest amount of items to reselect - it holds the settings and preferences in Options Customize as well as some other scattered settings. The other ones are mainly related to reports and views.

Re: [LegacyUG] Timeline Error
Georgia, Your Timeline is not working, it may not be working because Legacy has mixed up your instructions as to the detailed format which you require, this information is contained in the .USR files. So, deleting the appropriate USR file as suggested by Sherry will cause Legacy to create a new USR file using the defaults the next time you decide to create a timeline. You will then need to redo your settings. This is only an approximation as to how it works, but hopefully you will see the principle.

Re: [LegacyUG] Timeline Error
Georgia, Pity, but worth a try! I'm afraid that you have little option but do as recommended in the Legacy Troubleshooting Page and delete the lot (.usr files), yes, all of them! I would do some things first though. The colours of Legacy are a pain to restore, so if you haven't already done It, I would first go to OptionsCustomiseColours and use the 'Save' button to save them with a name of your choice. Similarly if you have web pages and haven't saved those settings then I suggest that you do, also if you have any special report settings I would save the Report Options - and there may well be others you can think of. The point being that every setting which you have carefully chosen will be restored to the Legacy defaults. Glad to hear that your timelines are not lost! Good Luck!

Good explanation, Paula.

RE: [LegacyUG] Master Location list revision
Hi Jane, This is a procedure that I use to add ‘USA’ to the end of locations… BACKUP your file first. Read the CAUTION note below… Go to Search/Search and Replace (Ctrl H) Select Lists-Location Check ‘Ends With’ (Important) Check ‘Replace only found text with replacement text’ (Important) Find What? ‘, Indiana’ (note: I’ve used comma/space/Indiana) Replacement text ‘, Indiana, USA’ (again comma/space/Indiana, USA) This will replace all locations ending in ‘, Indiana’ with ‘, Indiana, USA’ 16 College Avenue, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana will become 16 College Avenue, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana, USA It will not change 16 College Avenue, Bloomington, Monroe County,Indiana (no space between the comma and Indiana) If you are less cautious you can skip the comma/space. * * CAUTION… * * Be sure to have a backup of your file. Check your file after to be sure you haven’t made major unplanned changes. When you click on ‘Start’ it will take you to the first instance it finds and you have the choice to ‘Replace’ or ‘Replace All’. ‘Replace’ will step you through one change at a time. ‘Replace All’ does just that. There is no ‘Undo’ This will change any location ending in ‘, Indiana’ to ‘, Indiana, USA’ It is possible that another location ends in ‘Indiana’ that is not in the USA – this will be changed as well. I use the comma and space to further limit what it finds. Be sure to include the comma and space before the place name in both the ‘Find What’ and ‘Replacement Text’ You may wish to repeat this (or similar) procedure for ‘List-Location-Short’ You will have to repeat this procedure for every state in the USA. The reason for selecting ‘Ends With’ is to prevent replacing the word ‘Indiana’ elsewhere in the field and to skip those that already end in ‘USA’ (or something else) You don’t want Indiana, USA, USA. * * If you are faint of heart - use the same procedure as above but use ', Indiana' as the text for 'Find What' AND 'Replacement Text'. Then manually edit the text in the 'Replacement' box and do each one individually. By using the same wording for both steps it will simply replace the found text with the exact same text if it is not one you wish to change, or if you accidentally hit the wrong button. Copy and paste ', USA' will work here. I think this is what you were trying to achieve.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location list revision
Hi Jane. I'm not sure, off the top of my head, why those boxes are greyed out for you. However, I think you might have great success with the SEARCH and REPLACE module in Legacy. You can go there and select: FIND WHERE: Lists - Location REPLACEMENT TEXT: For example, let's say that you had records where you used: Michigan, United States but you wished to use MI, USA If you put Michigan, United States in your search term and MI, USA in your replacement text term, the system would be able to change both things at once. However, this also means that you would have to make several passes through your database because you would need to look for MI, USA Michigan, USAetc. But once you get the hang of it, you will be able to make lots of global changes in this manner. BUT LIKE EVERYONE SAID, BE SURE YOU ARE WORKING WITH A BACKUP COPY ONLY AND TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME. Anyway, if you provide about 5 to 10 ACTUAL examples of WHAT you want to change to WHAT, perhaps it would become clearer for the users on this list to help you.
