Re: [LegacyUG] Program on Laptop

[Sherry/Support]

You need to make sure you have the same build on both your laptop and PC.
We recommend that you download the latest build from our website and
install that on the laptop and if you don't already have the latest build
on your PC, be sure to update as well.  The password is on the download
page. You didn't say which version of Legacy you have so I can't answer
your question about the password - you'll find the correct password on the
website.

Go to www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Download > Download Legacy. If you don't
have Legacy v7.x, there's a link on the right side, under the "Frequently
Asked Questions" section, for downloading previous versions of Legacy.

On our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Help Center > Tips, you'll find
some articles under "Moving Your Family File From One Computer to Another"
which will assist you with this.

You want to make sure that you have Legacy installed per the instructions
at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/helpWIndows7andVista.asp if you have either of
those versions of Windows on the computer and/or laptop. You must have at
least the final build of Legacy v6 for the Windows 7 or VIsta computer.

Sincerely,
Sherry

Consider having a "Maybe" event.  Even though it isn't a fact or a real event,
events can be marked Private so they wouldn't appear in reports and they are
searchable.

Paula,

Putting something out on the web *is* publishing, it is likely to be read by
more people than those who would read a book on the same subject as the
website, and you are displaying to the world at large how competent, or
otherwise, you are.

Which is why those of us who do publish on the web take extreme care over
the presentation of the site as a whole and, in particular, the accuracy of
the information which we present.

I like that I can find my "maybes" and my "I think". Anyone checking
my tree knows immediately that I don't have a world of confidence in
that  but it also brings me corrections and tidbits of advice from
people I suspect wouldn't write otherwise.

I have ended up having what approaches a town genealogy in my family
tree. I am working heavily from the Bishops Transcripts - which lead
to a lot of 'Maybe' at the best of times. From 1770 on I have a good
chance of finding the family in the census and other records which
lets me remove some of the maybes.

My other big reason for them is when I find a marriage online at
familysearch it doesn't always indicate if the woman was married
before, so a "maybe".

Re: [LegacyUG] combine multiple Family Group Records into one 'book'?

Elizabeth,

I have a group of 17 people for whom I am researching. They are in 17 unrelated 
families from a single database file.  To get updated family group sheets for 
all of them,  I have previously set up a Focus Group containing their  17 
names.  Now, whenever I want a group of updated Family Group Sheets (FGS) for 
them, I print FGS for the Focus Group and it prints them with consequetive page 
numbers and a combined index at the end of the report.  I can also show the 
sources EITHER after each individual FGS   OR combine all of them at the end of 
the report of all the FGSs.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the "I think" and "maybe" individuals?

[Marg Strong]

I haven't looked into the User ID. Just thought it would be a number for a file 
numbering system. Putting text into it might be useful. Still I'll have to take 
time to work out a plan. Maybe after I get my location list cleanup finished 
and have Legacy run through my database looking for errors - I have a feeling 
that is going to be a lng list to work on.

Thanks, Russ!

The Publishing Centre will let you put in a list of FGS reports in any
order you choose and will create a book with a single Table of Contents
and Index. You can also elect to have all the sources grouped at the end
of the book. You will find the source settings on the Additional tab of
the Pub Centre.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Best Tablet for Legacy?

Brian,

You MAY want to consider a "convertible"(?) also.  Though these seem to
be disappearing with the arrival of the tablets.

A "convertible" (don't remember if that's the right name) is a full
blown laptop that also allows you to either:
* pivot the screen and then lay it on top  of the keyboard so it can
works like a tablet (though a bit thicker)
* detach the screen and use it alone (like a tablet)

Why consider this?  Some folks find the lack of physical keyboard on a
tablet to be a hindrance and they end up buying an external keyboard
anyway.  So then you have 2 pieces to carry, vs having the keyboard
built in for a convertible.

Of course I've also seen some nifty "attachments/cases/covers" for
tablets that include a physical keyboard!  The advantage of going with a
tablet and buying a separate keyboard is if you are going someplace
where you KNOW you won't need a keyboard, it is much lighter to use and
less to carry around.

Now, with that being said, I've never used a convertible nor a tablet -
so I can't any make recommendations.

I'd suggest you find a friend that has a tablet and ask if you can
"play" with it.  Especially try the virtual keyboard to do data entry.
Try a few different models if you can.  (Trying that at a store, in my
opinion, is not a valid test.  Too much pressure to get in/out of the
store by the sales people.  Plus it is such a different environment.)
That will give you an idea of how much you will (or won't) miss a
physical keyboard.  Some folks are fine without a physical keyboard,
some can't live without it.

Good luck.

Bob

[Paula Ryburn]

No, you will not have to change the locations on the individuals.
Admittedly, I haven't read all the posts about your clean-up process, but if the
"bad" location was successfully combined into the "good" location, then everyone
who had the "bad" location attached to an event will have the remaining "good"
location in the place field now.

It seems like all the work I did yesterday, combining duplicates that were just
entered a bit differently, has reverted to the way they were when I started. Now
I'm wondering if the correction will be made on all the individuals listed under
the combined location like I assumed. Or do I have to go in to each person's
page and correct that also? From a quick glance just now, it seems that might be
necessary. If the locations are still wrong under each person, it makes sense
that they would reappear in the Master Location list.
Hope I'm wrong!

I like that I can find my "maybes" and my "I think". Anyone checking
my tree knows immediately that I don't have a world of confidence in
that  but it also brings me corrections and tidbits of advice from
people I suspect wouldn't write otherwise.

I have ended up having what approaches a town genealogy in my family
tree. I am working heavily from the Bishops Transcripts - which lead
to a lot of 'Maybe' at the best of times. From 1770 on I have a good
chance of finding the family in the census and other records which
lets me remove some of the maybes.

My other big reason for them is when I find a marriage online at
familysearch it doesn't always indicate if the woman was married
before, so a "maybe".

I am going to "advertise" this on the Legacy website but - the long and short of
it is that some of us Legacy Users are on Google+ are using the Hangout
function/concept to meet online rather than meet in person (like the majority of
Legacy User Groups). The reason is that we are from various places, some travel
a good bit and it is easier in terms of time commitment to go online and have
our hour meeting once a month. Would happily include anyone who might be
interested in attending a Legacy User Group meeting online. If you are on
Google+, just send me a message (+Tessa Keough) and we will add you to our LVUG
Circle. Not sure what Google+ is or Google+ Hangouts, I will be sending a notice
about our Legacy Group in through the news function on the Legacy website. It's
always helpful to see how others do things and discuss the methodology.

RE: [LegacyUG] Non Family Members on Census

I likewise transcribe the census data to "residence event" then click to

 *snip*

I also record the name of the head of the household and his/her
occupation (and mention his/her family if there is one) when my family
member is the visitor/boarder/lodger/servant in the household.

As you say, it is often beneficial because further research can
sometimes show that a visitor or whatever is, in fact, a member of the
extended family or the future husband/wife of a family member.

Re: [LegacyUG] Best Tablet for Legacy?

[Sherry/Support]

Legacy will not work with a tablet.  You have to sync with Families 1.0 or
another one of the genealogy apps that's available for Android ir iPad. I
run Families on both my Kindle Fire and Motorola Atrix smartphone.

The tablets that run Windows is not the same version of Windows that's
required for Legacy - it's a mobile version.  I have yet to find any
genealogy apps for WIndows phone 7.

So "best tablet for Legacy" is a moot point.

Discussing hardware is not on-topic either - since it really doesn't matter
what you get as long as it meets the requirements on the Legacy website
www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Features.asp

If you want to run Legacy itself on a "mobile" device, you'll need to get a
Windows laptop or netbook.

Try using the Reset button - bottom right of the screen when you have selected

That's because your Ancestors are only those in your direct line - parents, 
grandparents, great-grandparents etc.  Uncles and aunts and so forth are not

Re: [LegacyUG] Best Tablet for Legacy?

[Jean Van Horn]

This is exactly why I rejoined this list... to hear thoughts about ipad and
other new things. My friend got the Asus E-pad, which has a full keyboard
that attaches to the e-pad. However it runs on the Android operating system
and when I looked at her Legacy data it was like looking at a Dos screen
compared to normal. Additionally she had been told that you can NOT add any
info to your legacy file via this app or risk losing all. Therefore when we
went to Salt Lake City she took both the e-pad and her big laptop for adding
data.

So I am still trying to figure this out. It would be nice if there was a way
to use a cloud to store the legacy program and just use it via an ipad
device. The prices you are talking about would make me get a small notebook
or ultrabook instead so I could have the full legacy program for a smaller
price.

As I get older I am finding the need to lighten up what I carry on planes
and in and out of hotels/motels. Taking my nook, iphone, ipod and large
laptop and all the assorted cords is heavy.

I know some will tell you about tablets like the iPad that run on the
Apple's operating system and others will tell you about tables that run on
the Android operating system.  The drawback to these is that you have to use
the Families app but then you do not have the full function of Legacy.

But there are some tables that run Windows 7 operating systems which means
that you can have the full functionality of Legacy because you are using
Legacy and not just an app.  They do tend to run a little more money, but
you should at least consider it.  One is by Fujitsu called the Stylistic
Q550 which starts at $729.00 or the Dell Latitude ST which starts at
$759.00.  So it gets down to what you want out of the tablet and how much
you are willing to pay.

Hello,
I am going to purchase a tablet shortly, for one reason, genealogy. So
naturally I want to get my Legacy file installed.
I've never used a smart phone and the only thing I know about tablets
is,that I want one.
I did a search here for tablets and Ipads, and if I understand it correctly,
Whatever brand I buy, to install Legacy, I need an app called Families,
install that, then my data file gets entered through a Backup file or a
Gedcom?
Can I attach 800 MB of scanned records?
I don't understand anything about tablets, And I would really appreciate a
suggestion as to which on is more suited to Legacy and all that it does.

Thank you for your help,
Take Care,

I have never tried this myself, in fact until Sherry pointed it out I had
not realised the option was there.

If I was you I would contact Sherry direct, giving full details of what you
did (baby steps), and asking for her to test for you. It may be that there
is a bug in the process. I'm afraid that I cannot do it myself at present
since I have 6 pages of location links to change on my website, thanks to
Bing changing the URLs, and it takes a day per page! (with odd breaks like
this one :-).)

Jennifer,

In which case couldn’t you create a full GEDCOM, change it as suggested by
Sherry, and import into a new Legacy file?

Let me be a bit clearer.

I just made contact with a 6th cousin. Prior to this neither of us knew of
each other's existence. He uses TMG and kindly used some function in TMG to
make a Legacy compatible file. I don't know if he did this as a GEDCOM or
what, but he downloaded the Legacy program and sent me a Legacy file with
his family data. The only problem I had was with the baptisms. I have just
emailed him to see if he did it through a GEDCOM and if so, could he
re-import it into Legacy using the steps Sherry suggested.

Jennifer, unless I am misreading what you have written, it would appear that
the file (Legacy) you received is setup the way the other person likes
Legacy to be, so I should not think they would want to change their Legacy
settings for you.
I think in this case it is up to you to change the file settings now that
you have the file.
If it was a GEDCOM file sent to you, then it is a fair ask.
Please let me know if I have read this wrong and that you can send a Legacy
file as Sherry suggested they do with a GEDCOM.

Colin.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the "I think" and "maybe" individuals?

[R G Strong-genes]

Have you thought about using the User ID field in the lower left corner of the 
individual screen. This field is searchable and you can have anything in it 
numbers, text, etc.

For me that's true also, Ron. I was looking for a way to mark them, but it 
would have to be something different than entering something into any of the 
name fields. The best I can think of right now is in the note fields, but that 
wouldn't pull them up in a search. Maybe when I have a better understanding of 
starting my own individual ID numbers (If I'm wording that correctly) something 
might be possible. Fortunately, right now, I don't have "maybes" in my tree 
except one unattached family, but I have seen some I've been tempted to 
include. I'm thinking having a lot of "unattached individuals would be 
confusing, so haven't done it again. It's something I'll have to look for a way 
that I'm happy with, but not a top priority right now.


Thanks for your thoughts on this.

  Peggy,

  As somebody else wrote, it is important to consider at this early stage as to 
whether you may wish to publish your work as a report just for your family, 
send copies to other researchers, publish formally or as a web site. If so how 
would they look if full of "possibles" or "maybes". OK, you could put them in 
Privacy Brackets, but this would stop you using  them for other purposes.

So far I haven't added many "maybes." It is good that Legacy gives lots of 
leeway so we can do what we think will be helpful. Needs a lot of planning 
ahead though!

Try using the Reset button - bottom right of the screen when you have
selected the type of Report.

That's because your Ancestors are only those in your direct line -
parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc.  Uncles and aunts and so
forth are not your Ancestors.

Re: [LegacyUG] Combining Locatins in Master Location list

Thanks, Brian. I was doing that, but I sent a new topic last night explaining 
what my problem was. It was computer related and user error.
