Re: [LegacyUG] Census List Needs Refining
Did you attend the Legacy webinar yesterday? These types of searches were discussed and shown how to do; also there was an update yesterday to address some early questions/suggestions. The webinar is posted at the Legacy site to watch - it might prove helpful also you might check to make sure you have the newest update. Cheers On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 4:22 PM, Tony Rolfe geneal...@gillandtony.com wrote: Here's a couple of things I'd like to see in the Census List tool. Yes, I know you can do them by tagging and combining separate searches but, this could become a one-click tool. 1. The ability to say Ignore people who have a specific event on the specified date. Ideally, have a list of event names which should cause the exclusion. I have an event Census, but some folk may have individual events for different parts of the same census (England Census, Wales Census etc.) 2. The ability to limit the people to be included by: Only those tagged on tag x, Only direct-line ancestors, Only blood relations, etc. Each of these should have a Plus spouses option. It used to take me about 6 separate searches to do what this tool does, so that's great. As a first draft, it is brilliant.

Re: [LegacyUG] Flash Webinar on Friday - Legacy Family Tree: Navigating the New Census Tools

I have a suggestion for the census list tool, but will submit it the normal route (expanding its capabilities beyond censuses). I also would like to suggest making the exclude people who have a 1940 census event already an OPTION. Here's where I'm coming from: I used Steve Morse's tool to find the ED for my dad's family home on the south side of Chicago (Google even had a current picture of the front of the house!), so I have the Series, Roll, ED, description for my dad's family NOW. I want to record that somewhere. I know toward the end of QA you were adding To-Do items, but that seems an extra step to me. I would like to add the Census record now with just the information I have, then flesh it out when the images are available next month and I view them. (Does this make sense?) Anyway, with the enhancement you described (you showed us an email you had received from one of the programmers), these people would be excluded. However, I would still want them to show up on the Census List Report... the one I'm going to print to use when looking at the images. (rather than a separate to-do list, because face it the new report is much better) And although this tool within Legacy is slick, I was more impressed with the find the ED tool you showed us (having browsed the 1930 census, I know it is tedious)... and I already have a very similar tool that one of the LUG subscribers had developed a while back that does much the same thing (but without the ability to tag results... just output).

[LegacyUG] Can't use main window with open dialog box
I've used Legacy happily for about 5 years, but always find one of its characteristics to be really inconvenient: Unlike many other applications I use, Legacy dialog boxes are modal; i.e., they temporarily halt the program, and the user cannot continue until the dialog has been closed. This means, for example, when a search list is created it can't be parked at the side of the screen and referred to while work is done in the parent window. And if filling in a modal dialog requires access to the parent window, you must close the dialog, find the information in the parent window, and then open the dialog again. Modal dialogs show information in a series (one lot of information at a time) and not in parallel (all the information you need to see at once). Parallel allow the user to choose what to look at, but in serial you are pretty much forcing him or her to pick an option. Obviously some kinds of dialogs must be modal, such as selecting a file to open or warnings such as confirming a deletion. My understanding is that modals are also easier to program, because the programmer doesn't have to be concerned whether making decisions in multiple screens could cause conflicts. But there are ways around this. I couldn't find references to this issue in the forum archives; does anyone know whether there's a good reason for using modal dialogs so often?

Modal dialogs show information in a series (one lot of information at a time) and not in parallel (all the information you need to see at once). Parallel allow the user to choose what to look at, but in serial you are pretty much forcing him or her to pick an option. Obviously some kinds of dialogs must be modal, such as selecting a file to open or warnings such as confirming a deletion. My understanding is that modals are also easier to program, because the programmer doesn't have to be concerned whether making decisions in multiple screens could cause conflicts. But there are ways around this. I couldn't find references to this issue in the forum archives; does anyone know whether there's a good reason for using modal dialogs so often?

I also would like to suggest making the exclude people who have a 1940 census event already an OPTION. Here's where I'm coming from: I used Steve Morse's tool to find the ED for my dad's family home on the south side of Chicago (Google even had a current picture of the front of the house!), so I have the Series, Roll, ED, description for my dad's family NOW. I want to record that somewhere. I know toward the end of QA you were adding To-Do items, but that seems an extra step to me. I would like to add the Census record now with just the information I have, then flesh it out when the images are available next month and I view them. (Does this make sense?) Anyway, with the enhancement you described (you showed us an email you had received from one of the programmers), these people would be excluded. However, I would still want them to show up on the Census List Report... the one I'm going to print to use when looking at the images. (rather than a separate to-do list, because face it the new report is much better) And although this tool within Legacy is slick, I was more impressed with the find the ED tool you showed us (having browsed the 1930 census, I know it is tedious)... and I already have a very similar tool that one of the LUG subscribers had developed a while back that does much the same thing (but without the ability to tag results... just output).

[LegacyUG] probate index
I'm not sure how to record this (or indeed, whether to bother), and am
looking for advice.
The UK Index of wills and probate says something like Fred Smith of
{address} died on {date}, probate {date} to George Smith and Mary Jones,
effects {amount}
Recording the probate for Fred is straightforward, but what should I
record for George and Mary? It usually gives their occupation, but are
these the executors, necessarily? Is it worth recording that George and
Mary were executors of Fred's estate?
What do other folk do?
Advice would be appreciated
Thanks, Tony

RE: [LegacyUG] Family Search Help
As I posted earlier, I had no problem registering on the NEW site today. Had never registered on the old or any other familysearch site. Was straightforward and simple. https://new.familysearch.org CE Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 21:01:30 -0700 Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Family Search Help From: kmeyer2...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Paula, Try signing into http://new.familysearch.org and see if you can get into that yet or not. That is the one we are wondering about; it's the one that syncs with the LFS function in Legacy Family Tree. And thanks for the reminder about getting ready for indexing; we should all be doing that; even if every person did one page, which would probably take maybe 20 minutes, it would make such a difference in how quickly the index is completed and then posted for everyone. Every bit helps; you don't have to commit to a certain amount of time, just what you feel like you can do. But Beware! Indexing census records can be highly addictive ;-) Kathy On Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 8:44 PM, Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Chiming in: I just tried logging in to familysearch.org (though I hadn't received notification) and though I had to get my user id and pw sent to me (that's how long it had been), I was able to log in and download the indexing software.

I see two of you have suddenly gained access! I suggest anyone on the list who has a FamilySearch ID go ahead and give it a try again, even if you were waiting to hear something from NFS; maybe you will also gain access to NFS right away. Or even if you don't, go ahead and follow the link Paul posted and register for access. Maybe it is going much faster now :-) Exciting news for everyone I hope!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports
Jemima, Marianne, and Bob: Identical source citations should not repeat in reports. There are certain conditions that will cause them to do that but these can be corrected. To get help from the LUG list you need to identify the specific report you're generating, whether the repetition is in footnotes, endnotes or bibliography, the format you're producing (RTF, HTML, or in the Preview). If you'll be very thorough in posting the description of your condition someone will surely be able to solve the problem. Kirsten -Original Message- From: ArdenholmeGenealogy Sent: Friday, March 09, 2012 10:23 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports Hello Does the Ibid. (repeats what is listed in the previous citations) work OK in reports? I am trying to create an Ancestor book report for an ancestor and notice that the sources at the end of this report are mostly of the same source so it is repeating itself many times. As I have already checked Ibid in Options/Customise/Sources, it doesn't look that it is working in the report function. I have just been checking the archives for this user group but cannot see any recent posts . Can anyone confirm this?

RE: [LegacyUG] probate index
I have found several probate records in UK too, and the wording of the actual
entry seems to differ i.e. I haven't found that there is a set wording. My
probate event sentence reads [HeShe] had an estate probated [Desc] [onDate]
[inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] In the Description I put to Bill Blogs and Jane
Smith.
That way the names are recorded, but I do not have to add them to my database
unless there is also information that they are related some way. For instance
it will usually state if the Executrix is the widow of the deceased. Sometimes
the people are identified as being Executors, but I have also found an example
where I presume there was no actual will because it says Adminstration to - in
that case I still used the same sentence definition. The exact text of the
record goes into the Notes. The wording of the record goes into source
details. I also use Snipping Tool in Windows to take a PNG image of the actual
record so I don't get all the other entries on the page.
Cheers
Jan
