Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with using Master Location List
Microsoft Bing is the mapping application/web site used by Legacy, it is not a web browser. Before you complain further, all the internal to Legacy web browsing such as going to the Bing website in mapping and the links on the Legacy Home tab use parts of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) which are built-in to Windows. If you open a link as a new window from the Legacy Home tab it will be opened in IE because you are starting from IE on the Home Tab. The functions which open a Web Browser outside of Legacy such as Internet Search Internet for current person will use your preferred browser or the browser you specify in the Launch tab of Options Customize.

RE: [LegacyUG] Persons with only assumed/acquired surnames
I have not noticed any problems in Legacy with my use of question marks. Some of us prefer not to use a bunch of blanks or unknowns, so we include the spouse's name like Sally ? (Wife of John Jones). Again, a matter of personal preference. However, a sheme with codes would never work for sharing info, you are right about that.

This is the system I use - for what it is worth. As names become known their bbb identifier can be recycled and so far I have not needed more than the 18278 unknown individuals available using this three letter identification system. CONVENTIONS FOR UNKNOWN NAME ENTRY Unknown First Name: enter ?am for a male, ?af for a female, ?au sex unknown. Unknown Last Name: enter ??abbb where a in both first and last names is a single capital letter code giving the approximate 33 year span (a generation) for the estimated year of birth. The century and codes follow: YearsCodes YearsCodes 1200-1299 A,B,C 1600-1699 M,N,O 1300-1399 D,E,F 1700-1799 P,Q,R 1400-1499 G,H,I 1800-1899 S,T,U 1500-1599 J,K,L 1900-1999 V,W,X 2000-2067 Y,Z bbb is an entry sequence code that starts with a through z, then aa through az, ba to bz etc. An example using a female with unknown first name, born about 1750, who is the 54th person with unknown last name would be entered as ?Qf ??Qbc. Formula for arriving at date code for b.(birth) to use with unknown name is: 1. Use b. if known 2. Use b. of spouse, or spouse of spouse (other wife etc.) 3. Use first m.-25 4. Use bp+33 where bp=b. of parent 5. For bp use bc-33 where bc=b. of child in next generation For bc use bp+33 where bp=b. of parent in previous generation 6. Use d.-65 8. Use dp-32 where dp=d. of parent 9. Use mc-53 where mc=m. of child 10. Use 33 years per generation from any known date.

[LegacyUG] Dropbox and Legacy
I have just downloaded dropbox and installed it on my desktop and laptop computers. I have been using Legacy for some time and have many pictures that are located in my pictures folder in legacy. I have created numerous links which link pictures to various individuals in legacy. Each link creates a link with a given path designation (in my case, Legacy/pictures/). When I created my dropbox folder, I dragged and dropped the Legacy/pictures folder to my dropbox. So far, OK. I then used dropbox on my laptop to download the pictures file in that is in my dropbox folder on my desktop. But, how do I am I now able to use all of the links that I have previously created? If, on the laptop, I go in Legacy to Options, Customize, Locations and then change the location of my pictures folder to my dropbox on my laptop, all of the links are useless. (I know that if I had started out using my dropbox folder as my folder to which my pictures were linked, all would be fine. But, I now have thousands of links and do not want to reinvent the world.) Or do I have each time to download what is in my dropbox to the Legacy/pictures folder to be able to use the links. A simple way to solve the problem would be to have the dropbox folder and the Legacy/pictures folder sinc each time a change is made to the Legacy/Pictures folder. What is the solution to my problem?

[LegacyUG] 1930 US census
Thanks to all who have offered suggestions so far. I think I will continue to be a lumper and make one source for each year and put the State and County in the detail. A follow-up question for those who have a census event. Do you have the same Census event for all censuses, or do you have different events for each, e.g 1900 US Census, 1881 British Census? At the moment, since I only have British censuses, I've just used one census event and used the date field to distinguish between them. I'm wondering whether it is worth having one US Census event or whether the location will be enough?

Obviously since you cannot be certain of that fact, what do you do? I am curious as to other people's opinion.

You could work out of the Dropbox folder, but I don't - no particular reason. I just copy the files to dropbox occasionally. I wrote a little script to automate the process.

Re: [LegacyUG] 1930 US census
One census event. In the Description field I identify US Federal or British. The date I use is the actual enumeration date but just the year would be fine if that is all you want. The Place field is, obviously, the city or township, county and state of enumeration. In the Notes field I record the pertinent information from the census. The Event Definition is set up like so: [HeShe] appeared on the [Desc] census [onDate] [inPlace].[Sources] [Notes] So I end up with a sentence like this: He appeared on the U. S. Federal census on 10 April 1930 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA. [Followed by information transcribed from the census] This way the Event works for any country's census (or state census).

Re: [LegacyUG] 1930 US census
I have mine by year, by state, by county... but now you have me re-thinking that. again! ;) Luckily, if I change my mind, it's just a change in the name of the source. So far, I haven't had any problems finding the one I need in the list. --Paula snip They are in alphabetical order by state, then by county, and then by year. It is very easy for me to find the right census. I would be scared to guess how many I have in my list but certainly hundreds.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pre-1850 US Census data
I do not do exactly the same as Michele and Terri ;) but I am now considering it. I agree with the earlier Ouji board comment on those early censuses. ;) One thing I do differently, that hasn't been mentioned, is I will enter the Census as a Marriage Event if the couple is enumerated together. So, for the specific original question about adding an event for the spouse if you're reasonably sure that tick mark is her. I would add the Marriage Event and describe that the wife is represented by the such-and-such tick mark. (I tend to enter an event for each child, tho.) Being a semi-retired analyst, I LOVE looking at a family unit through consecutive old census listings and trying to figure out the estimated birth ranges, who married out, etc. I have a pretty strong hypothesis on the older siblings and younger half-siblings of my 3rd-great-grandfather! ;) (Obviously, this is one reason I love this hobby.) --Paula From: Terri Brown ridge...@yahoo.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Mon, March 19, 2012 5:48:51 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Pre-1850 US Census data I do the same as Michele.
