Re: [LegacyUG] Hand Held Devices for Legacy

Sources are available in Families, at least in the Android version
(I'm sure it would be in the iOS version as well). Tap on the
individual to bring up that person's page, tap on the Event and there
you'll find a source for that individual's event.

There is no Master Source List, if that's what you're looking for.
It would be handy - I'd suggest going to their website
http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/ and make a suggestion in the User
Forum

 Hi,

 From what little I could see the only problem with the Families App is that
 it does not seem to have a source screen shoot available. How does someone
 who uses the app check to see what sources are already in the app's family

 Curious,

Robert,

I can well imagine that would cause problems, especially where only one click 
is required. Consider, if only one click is required to take you to a 
particular page on which the default is to highlight a button which closes the 
page, then if one double clicks the page will open and then close!

I -might- have a clue!  Sherry's comment gave me the idea!


My mouse can be set to where one push sends two clicks to the computer.  
Could it be that some of us have the feature, and when we double click, we are 
sending *FOUR* clicks to legacy? So, pushing it twice plus one more by accident 
sends SIX clicks to Legacy. I wonder if that is a good idea? I am grasping 
straws there.


I might change that- at the time I thought it was a good idea.

Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN filing

Sally, I almost gasped but found myself chuckling.  I can see where you're
coming from on that.  However, I tend to research by family, working with a unit
to find siblings, parents, etc. and move backward through my line.  I like to
have all the relevant documents together.  Also, I use binders instead of
folders.  And I use 6 colors instead of 4... possibly someone is gasping at
that.  In fact, my daughter and I were considering moving to 8 colors, because I
have gathered enough on her daddy's father's line to go to 2 binders... of
course, she would like the new color to be pink! 


Do you keep all your census images together?  How are they sorted?  Or do you
not print them out?  Thx.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN filing


Tony,

I also use the MRIN filing system and have set up online folders for each
marriage.   Following the advice from the Legacy user who originally devised
this system, I renumber MRINs according to my 4 ancestral lines as follows:


My maternal grandfather is MRIN 1000-1999   

My maternal grandmother is MRIN 2000-2999
My maternal grandfather is MRIN 3000-3999
My paternal grandmother is MRIN 4000-4999


Census records are filed under the MRIN of the head of the household.
Unmarried children are filed under the MRIN of their parents
When a child marries, I move the birth certificate into the MRIN folder for the
marriage and add the marriage certificate and any census records or other
information during the time of the marriage.

If a child marries for a second time, the marriage has a different MRIN number
under which I include the marriage certificate, census and other info during the
time of this marriage and finally the death certificates.

The documents are numbered  e.g. MRIN-1, -2, -3 etc.


For each line I have a binder(s) for paper documents, filed under the MRIN
number.  If I do not have any documents for a marriage then there is no divider
for that number in the binder.  At one time I printed out the census records but
no longer do that to cut back on the size of the binders.

Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] MRIN filing

Tony,
For children who marry, I leave the pre-marriage documents behind the
parents' FGR (I don't use folders).  Of course, at the moment, the only people I
have documents for about their childhood that I *might* consider moving with the
child are my grandparents, so I know exactly where to look for them.  I mean, if
you are talking about a not-so-well-known ancestor or distant relative, you
might not be able to pull together their whole life as easily from TWO places,
so you might consider moving the childhood documents into the new marriage
folder.

I don't do much research on those people not in my lines, and they all married
(or at least partnered) to produce the next generation... on down to me.  So, I
haven't run into the unmarried grown child situation... I mean, I don't have any
specific documents for them that need to be filed.

I have a few 2nd marriages, and so far they have been my male ancestors
re-marrying, and I think in every case I descend through the first marriage. 
So...  I just print a second FGR for the 2nd marriage and keep it behind the
first (same surname makes that approach easy).  Additionally, I haven't yet
collected much on the 2nd marriages since they are not in my line.. and I
haven't had the urge yet to look for 1/2 cousins anywhere.

If I descended from the 2nd marriage I might do it the same way, since they're
male / same surname.

If it was the female remarrying, I still think I would file the extra marriage
(depending on from which one I descended) behind the important marriage
and put them both under the important surname.  At least until I had a
significant amount of data on the extra marriage, accessing it a lot or
getting cumbersome.  Then I guess I would be forced to put the extra marriage
in its own surname folder...  again, I use binders with surname tabs.

Re: [LegacyUG] Short survey: Location vs. Address

Marg, I do like having separate addresses, and you can print them in most
narrative/book reports (there's a report option); however, if you choose to do
that, it typically prints the entire address in parens after the
Location---and if you are storing the entire address, then it is very
redundant.  For example, I liked having born in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan (St.
Jude's Hospital) -- but to use the address for anything else, you really need
the full address.  Then it would look like born in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan
(St. Jude's Hospital, 100 Main Street, Detroit, Michigan 48213) just a bit
too much.  So, here I am still pondering! ;)  If I set it up in the Location, I
could lose the street address (but I'm not worried about that).. it would
look like born in St. Jude's Hospital, Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.  Possibly
okay.  Need still to run through some search scenarios to decide.  Thanks for
your feedback.
 --Paula in Texas

PS--Though Legacy says it is wrong to put the address at the front of the
location, there are many on the list that do it that way; hence, my short
survey.  Personally, I don't think Legacy implemented the Address functionality
completely.  It's a good idea, but not really finished.  Another consideration
that weighs heavy for US customers is whether or not they are adhering strictly
to the 4-part Location; customers outside the US are used to not using Locations
the proper way because their Locations don't fit the 4-part standard.
 (another somewhat incompletely implemented item, imho... or rather, something
that wasn't necessarily upgraded for world-wide usage)

I can answer some of this but haven't used it much because I just read about the
address feature. Before I used to add it in front of the Location and recently
read that was wrong and messed up reports, so they offered the address feature.
The one problem I see with it is that I can't see the address at a glance. I
have to put it in an event for that.
Just a quick reflection from a very new learner!

Brian,  Oops - I usually am better about including links.
First, in the program Help this link does not work:

Backing Up and Restoring Family Files
Everything You Need to Know
About Backup and File Restoration
by James P. Terry
See the article on the Legacy website at:
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/helpMediaBackups.asp
5-510


But if I copy  paste that into my browser  then mid-way down the
screen (without scrolling) you find:

Restoring Multimedia Backup Files
* Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP all have a built Extraction 
Wizard.
Just RIGHT click on a backup file (has a .ZIP extension) and click on Extract
All on the pop-up menu.
The Legacy program does not (yet) have a utility that will restore (unzip) a
multimedia backup. As a result, multimedia backup file cannot be restored in
Legacy the same way that a backed family file can.  However, if you have Windows
7, Windows Vista or Windows XP you only need to insert your backup disk or
memory stick into the your pc and use the Extraction Wizard that comes with
Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
1. Browse to the backed up multimedia file and click on it with the RIGHT mouse
button and then select Extract All from the popup menu.
2. The Extraction window will open.
   * Windows 7 and Windows Vista: Type  C:\  as the folder where the 
 pictures will
be extracted to and then click Extract. Follow the prompts.

   * Windows XP: Click the Next button and in the next screen type  C:\ as 
 the
directory where the pictures will be extracted to and then click
the Next button. Follow the prompts.

My suggestion is to not lead with Just right click...  I had the folder on my
E: drive the first time; then I thought I remembered what had been discussed on
the LUG list but no... I got a Legacy folder added to Pictures; then one added
to Legacy, etc... until I came back and read the whole thing.

Imho, the most important part is Type C:\ as the folder... ;)
Thanks for following up on this one! --Paula

This is mainly a Windows thing: the difference between Modal and Modeless
dialogs. A Modal dialog, which is what the vast majority of all dialogs on all
products, are, effectively blocks the main window from which it is launched. On
the other hand, a Modeless dialog effectively runs in parallel with the main
window, allowing you to switch back and forth and work with either of them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info

2012-02-27 Thread Ron Ferguson

Paula, Mary,

Legacy is not geared up to create a web page of that type, that is to say that 
its database construction is such that it cannot be done.

That site was written by the author using Microsoft Frontpage website creation 
software which used to compete with Dreamweaver. Both are considered to be old 
technology, albeit that they were market leaders at one time. Frontpage is no 
longer available.

Definitely more contrast! A lot of us have vision problems which
require good contrast.

If I had found that site through a google search of my surnames, I
would have immediately backed out of it because it's too hard to read
and, if I could find your contact info, send you an email to that
fact!

Re: [LegacyUG] Print maternal lineage

Ron and others,
I did just re-submit a suggestion on this item.  Wish I had copied it for
posterity, because there is no way to look up a suggestion.  But here's what I
remember including:

Lineage Report  (there's a vertical report and a horizontal chart)
1.  Allow selection of two Individuals
2.  Utilize Relationship Calculator logic to find how the two Individuals are
related - save that lineage
3.  Allow selection of lineage (if the Individuals are related in more than one
way)
4.  Print siblings (if checked) and spouse for each Individual *regardless of
gender*
5.  Add option to print siblings for spouses  (check box)

I think there was also a small bug about not recognizing date prefix
modifications in the Customize section.

Although the horizontal chart might encounter some page layout issues, this
shouldn't be a brand new program if they use the already established
Relationship Calculator logic.  Well, that's what *I* think at least. ;)

It may require a lot of programming to have both paternal and maternal lineages
at the same time on the Lineage report but it could be fairly easy to provide an
option to make the report follow the paternal or maternal line.  That made me
think of yet another possibility.  Could the lineage report show details of the
lineage with siblings between any individual and a given ancestor regardless of
whether it tracked the male or female link in each generation.  The Relationship
Calculator can do that now without the siblings.  The Lineage report parameters
would ask for the RIN of the ancestor and the chart would like much like the
current paternal lineage report except it would follow the maternal links where
necessary as well as the paternal links depending on the lineage and include
siblings if that option box is checked.

[LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file

2012-02-27 Thread M. Brenzel

I have created a CSV file from the Name List containing Surname/Given Name,
Living Indicator, Birth Date, and Death Date.  When I look at the file in
Notepad, the dates look good.  But when I open it in Excel, some of the
dates are formatted differently than most of the others.

For example, the date 1 Sep 1913 in Legacy looks the same in Notepad but in
Excel, it is displayed as 1-Sep-13.  When I look at the table in Access
(tblIR), the dates look different than those that are correct.

Does anyone have an idea why the dates are messed up for some people but
not others?  And is there an easy way to fix them?

Thanks,
Mary

What version of Excel are you using?  The newest versions will alow you to

column, go to Format cells, select the number tab, select Date and then select 
the specific format you want.  I hope this helps.  Jerry

Yes...that is essentially what I was describing.  The maternal lineage report

  I had submitted a suggestion on a flexible lineage report that run
  between any two people (rather than just starting at one person and going up
  their male ancestor line).
  I did not however specifically ask for the siblings of the females.
  Or I guess in the context of my suggestion, it would be to show the siblings
  of both partners right?  Hmm, that would be a bit
  harder.

  maternal lineage

  Hi folks,

  Is it possible to print a lineage chart showing
  both the paternal and maternal information regarding brothers and
  sisters?   Currently when I want to print a lineage report all that
  shows is the paternal brothers and sisters.  I would like to have the
  report show the maternal too.

  Thanks for your help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info

2012-02-27 Thread Marg Strong

Actually, I was looking at it more from the viewpoint of printing out a book 
than as a website presentation. I liked the interspersing of images with text 
since I think the average person not into family history might find that more 
interesting. I would make changes, but it added to my ideas for presenting a 
book. I'm not sure how legacy prints out the media files with reports because 
I am far from learning that as yet.

Definitely more contrast! A lot of us have vision problems which
require good contrast.

If I had found that site through a google search of my surnames, I
would have immediately backed out of it because it's too hard to read
and, if I could find your contact info, send you an email to that
fact!

Check out www.WebAim.org for information on web accessibility for

Re: [LegacyUG] Pictures / downloads

Took liberty of modifying the subject line.

I don't think the Legacy folder has a Download folder.  However, Windows 7 does.
 Is that the folder you're using?  I can't imagine there is a limit on that
folder either, but it helps to know how you're doing your downloads.

(And I had noticed that Heritage Quest downloads all go to that Windows 7
folder.  My plan was to copy them to the relevant surname folders pending
being attached in Legacy, but that's just the way I have things set up on my
computer.  When attaching I move my census images into Legacy's Pictures
folder.  I use the standard file set up as Legacy originally set it up, except I
store backups on an external drive.)

Does anyone know if there is a max number of pictures you can download(like
census documents) to Legacy?  All of a sudden mine has stopped and will not let
me download any more records.  Do I empty the Download folder or is there a
limit that I can download and I have reached it?  I am following Geoff’s webinar
on census records and attaching all of the records that I have to each
individual.  It would be nice to have a repeat button to do some of this.  On
the Webinar he did not indicate that there was a limit, so I have been going
blissfully along attaching records to individuals, at least until tonight, and
all of a sudden nothing.  It isn’t there.  I go into the master file and
something is there, a place holder, blank.  Some have any ideas?

Re: [LegacyUG] Print maternal lineage

I would find a completely maternal lineage report just as unfulfilling as a
completely paternal one.  That's why I suggested the ability to enter two
individuals.  I suppose the report could continue to have the ability to enter
just one individual and then request either a paternal or a maternal lineage
that goes as far back as possible.

Yes...that is essentially what I was describing.  The maternal lineage report
would be very simple to adapt from the currently available paternal lineage
report.  Let's see what the progammers come up with for the third option of
tracing a given line regardless of gender changes.

Ron and others,
I did just re-submit a suggestion on this item.  Wish I had copied it for
posterity, because there is no way to look up a suggestion.  But here's what I
remember including:


Lineage Report  (there's a vertical report and a horizontal chart)
1.  Allow selection of two Individuals
2.  Utilize Relationship Calculator logic  to find how the two Individuals are
related - save that lineage
3.  Allow selection of lineage (if the Individuals are related in more than one
way)
4.  Print siblings (if checked) and spouse for each Individual *regardless of
gender*
5.  Add option to print siblings for spouses  (check box)


I think there was also a small bug about not recognizing date prefix
modifications in the Customize section.


Although the horizontal chart might encounter some page layout issues, this
shouldn't be a brand new program if they use the already established
Relationship Calculator logic.  Well, that's what *I* think at least. ;)

It may require a lot of programming to have both paternal and maternal lineages
at the same time on the Lineage report but it could be fairly easy to provide 
an
option to make the report follow the paternal or maternal line.  That made me
think of yet another possibility.  Could the lineage report show details of the
lineage with siblings between any individual and a given ancestor regardless of
whether it tracked the male or female link in each generation.  The 
Relationship
Calculator can do that now without the siblings.  The Lineage report parameters
would ask for the RIN of the ancestor and the chart would like much like the
current paternal lineage report except it would follow the maternal links where
necessary as well as the paternal links depending on the lineage and include
siblings if that option box is checked.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file

2012-02-27 Thread Hal Antonson

Mary,
Highlight the Excel column then format as custom 'd mmm ' (without the
quotes). From the Home menu, click right adjust so they line up on right.
Things should look good. If you need to do arithmetic on the dates, remember
that dates before 1900 are really just text instead of numbers. If you need to
work with those early ones, look at installing Xdate as an Excel addin.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file

I have created a CSV file from the Name List containing Surname/Given Name,
Living Indicator, Birth Date, and Death Date. When I look at the file in
Notepad, the dates look good. But when I open it in Excel, some of the
dates are formatted differently than most of the others.

For example, the date 1 Sep 1913 in Legacy looks the same in Notepad but in
Excel, it is displayed as 1-Sep-13. When I look at the table in Access
(tblIR), the dates look different than those that are correct.

Does anyone have an idea why the dates are messed up for some people but
not others? And is there an easy way to fix them?

Thanks,
Mary

RE: [LegacyUG] Removing children listed twice

Yes, but unfortunately if you have events for the duplicate person the events 
are all printed twice and THEN it brings the Duplicate Line feature into play.  
i.e. the Line isn't duplicated, but the first duplicate person in each line IS. 
 I would like to see where the name and events are included once, and then only 
the name (and perhaps vital dates, but certainly not events) repeated 
subsequently.

Cheers
Jan

There is an option on the reports to not repeat duplicate lines. Using
that should eliminate duplication of your and your sister's descendants.
You will still be shown in the second family, only to show where your
line fits, then there will be a note indicating this is a duplicate line
with a reference back to the first listing.

 that he adopted us and put a similar note on each of our marriage

 That seems to sort it.

RE: [LegacyUG] suggestion I submitted

Me too!  I have never been able to see why it is seen as a problem that a 
source might only refer to a particular item of information.  The details of 
the source clearly show what bit it refers to.  If there is any doubt I might 
add a note such as provided the second name of xyz or provided exact date of 
birth rather than just year or something appropriate.

 “I think you should make it where the date of birth and the place of

 Death certificates often give the place of birth for the deceased's

 The census records also give a place of birth for the parents but not
 the date.

 If you use one of the above as a source for the date of birth/place of
 birth, it appears as though the source named both.”


In an ideal world it would be good, but as I include all the details
and/or the full text in my Sources it is possible to see exactly what is
being Sourced by any particular citation.

It's quite possible that I will know, from a variety of Sources that
someone was born on ddmmm in Anytown, County, Someland but some of
the Sources I cite might only give the date, or might only give the
year, or might only give the County or might only give the Country.  By
referring to the wording of each ciation and any Citation Text I have
included I can see precisely what information came from where.

RE: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info

If you’d like to have a look at a ‘book’ I’ve generate from Legacy go to 
http://www.branchesandtwigs.wikispace.com
Scroll down the left hand side until you get to a link to Descendants of Thomas 
SULLIVAN. Click on that, then click on the link to Descendants of Thomas 
SULLIVAN.pdf.  That will take you to a report I generated in Legacy.  I quite 
like the pdf output from Legacy  - I guess the only drawbacks are that all of 
the images are in a line down the right hand side, and some of the images are 
too small to read the text.
Legacy doesn’t print other ‘media’ files attached to your report, for example 
pdf files.  You would have to print and add them separately for your book. I 
haven’t used the publishing centre in Legacy, but I believe you can add 
place-holder pages which keep page numbering intact and you can replace the 
‘blank pages with your pdf files.  Another drawback is that in the case of 
‘blended’ families, which I like to include because I am more a family 
historian than a true genealogist, people who are included in two (or dare I 
say more) marriages have all of their information printed twice (or more) even 
if you have selected to not include duplicate lines.  As I don’t have a pdf 
creator program I can’t edit my Legacy generated pdf’s and remove the surplus 
entries.  I tried using rtf format, but found that removing great chunks of 
text messed up pagination and image placement among other things so I have 
opted for pdf and leave the duplicate info.  Because I publish as a wiki rather 
than an actual book I am able to add extra photos, pdfs etc. to my wiki site.
