When you display the location on the map, move the cursor to the correct
location and right click on the mouse.

Yes. I went against Geoff in one way. I have hundreds of US census 'pages' so I 
split census titles using year and location.  I used the splits as above so I 
could organize CenU1900, CenE1861, CenIA1854 and others.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Re: Source List - Source Type

A question, related to the discussion about choosing a Source List name.  

On the Source Edit screen (Basic Source system), there is a field called Type.  
It appears nowhere else but on this screen.  It does not appear in any Source 
reports.  You cannot sort by it or filter by it.  

But if you could, it would allow you to put all your Census or Church or Book 
sources together without having to put Census or Church/Parish or Book as the 
first word in a Source List name, because as it is, that is just repetition.  
Has anyone found any substantive use for this field in their endeavours?  

(I don't use SourceWriter, so maybe those who do will not find this discussion 
useful).

[LegacyUG] Locations - putting the pin on the map in the right place

2012-08-25 Thread Wendy Howard 
I should know how to do this, but can't remember and don't see it in the
help.

How do I correct the pin in the map in the Master Location List?

I'm looking at the address 1 Merriefield Avenue, Forrest Hill, Auckland,
New Zealand.

Google Maps knows where this is and marks it correctly.  But the Bing
map in Legacy thinks it's up the road on the other side from where it
really is.

Can I change it to the correct location?

My research is about 95% UK and I only have 3 Basic Sources now, having 
converted all the rest to SourceWriter.  And I will convert those 3 in due 
course.

I think some people don't realise that you don't have to fill in every field on 
the template and you can ignore the field names if you wish.
Take the Generic, Manuscript template.  The fields on the Master are 
"Collection" and "Respository" - doesn't mean you can't enter something like 
"Auntie Fanny's Recipe Book" as the Collection and ignore the Repository if you 
wish.  Then the fields for the Source Detail are Item Title, Item Date, Item 
Type and Item No.  If those fields don't suit the item you are citing, just 
ignore the last 3 and write something meaningful in the first field - you could 
write a whole paragraph in the style of a Basic Source Citation if you wished.

I'm not quite sure how such notes would be used as Sources - surely the Source 
would be the documents/films/websites/whatever that you consulted and from 
which you made notes and the notes would be added to the Text or Comments 
fields?  However, if you wanted to use such options they would fit very neatly 
into the Collection field of the template I mentioned above.

Re: [LegacyUG] Name / Nickname entry.

Ron,
Although this works in reports and basic charts, it does not work on
Charting.  On those charts you cannot hide the name in quotes. It would
be relatively simple to have a check box under the Name option list in
Appearance > Box items.  I have put this forward as a suggestion but
have had no response.

Tessa,

There is no problem in giving a URL, only with attaching or embedding images
in the posts. This is because they are often large, and can carry a virus
embedded in them. Indeed, if I find it really necessary to use an image to
explain then I will stick it on the internet and supply a URL.

Pat - I agree that there are many ways to approach this issue. The key
is to find a system that makes sense to you and then stick with it -
be consistent and spend the time at the outset to play around and get
it right (for you). Personally I found that breaking things up by type
first and location second works best. Customizing Legacy is KEY and
our Legacy Virtual Users' Group (on Google+ and also a website) had
this as one meeting/presentation. The powerpoint slides with examples
are at the Filing Cabinet there. I hesitate to give a link since this
group has issues with attachments and such but, if you type Legacy

Mike,

Simply that it is not really  in common usage, I will not say
"non-standard"
because there isn't a  standard (thank goodness!). I also prefer to use the
format which the GRO  uses when one orders certificates. I emphasise, that
this is just my  preference, and I am in no way suggesting others should
adopt  it.

What I was trying to illustrate was that by giving so many different
options
for date prefixes it enables the users to apply them in ways which  have a
special meaning to themselves. When published, it doesn't matter  whether
the
reader/viewer knows this meaning because the meaning of the  prefix is the
same. I have - rarely - had an email asking why I use both on  my website,
but it does not seem to be something which they pick  up.

Another reason, although of no great importance, is having to change  the
"Q
Dates" to standard format if a GEDCOM is going to be used in a  situation
where it would be a valid date. Also, I was using my system when  Legacy
introduced the "Q Dates", and had to decide whether to amend all my
records,
a question of added value against effort, and effort won - you can  call
this
laziness :-)

As  you know, Legacy allows another form for entering the GRO dates. What

have against entering these dates as 'Mar Q 1900'? Achieves the same  thing

Take a look at the 'Sample' file. It should be in your data file. When I

Re: [LegacyUG] Source List Name

2012-08-25 Thread JLB 
If I'm understanding your question - I started out listing my Master
Sources by type. Then I decided they work better by location. My cousin
talked me into it when we started to share databases. So I changed most
of them. Now I just have to remember to search for them that way.

There are probably as many "systems" in use as there are LUGgers using them!

The important thing, of course, is that YOU know how to find a
particular Source, so the name must be obvious to YOU.  Some people
prefer to group by Location, but it makes more sense to me to group by
TYPE, so the first words of my Source Names are "Birth Index" or "Book"
or "Census" or "Website"...  (It might make sense to you to list "Birth
Certificates", "Death Certificates", "Marriage Certificates" or you
might prefer "Certificates - Birth", "Certificates - Death" and so on.
It just depends how your mind works!)

In the case of something like a Book or a Website, the rest of the Name
will be the Title or Name of the book/website.  In other cases it might
be the region the records relate to or might be where the records are
located, so I have Sources named "Birth Index - FreeBMD" and "Birth
Index - FindMyPast" (indicating the website where I accessed the
indexes) and I have "Parish Registers - FindMyPast" and "Parish
Registers - Liverpool."  FindMyPast have one Search Screen for Parish
Registers from many regions, but when I see "Parish Registers -
Liverpool" I know I am referring to location-specific databases on
Ancestry.  That makes sense to ME and that is all that matters.

Another thing which makes sense to ME is that I refer to "Parish
Records" and to "Parish Registers".  That tells me immediately that I am
looking at transcriptions in the first instance and at images of the
originals in the second.

[LegacyUG] Source List Name

2012-08-25 Thread Pat Hickin 
I am wondering how people enter the Source List Names.

I have tried to find a formula (without much success), one easy to
remember.

Now I'm thinking I'd like to have the categories together -- e.g., books,
articles, census records.

Needless to say, the Internet really complicates things, especially with
sources you've  used in a variety of ways: online, sometimes used the
actual physical document, book,   or whatever, and sometimes used microfilm
images, sometimes used abstracts, *etc., ad infinitum.*
*
*
I'd especially like to know if anyone has a system they're really pleased
with.

Thanks!!

Pat

Re: [LegacyUG] Change whole list at one time

2012-08-25 Thread Ron Taylor 
If USA is in the 4th piece of the location like "Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, 
Utah, USA" then just use the View>Master 
Lists>Location...>Options>Expand/Contract Location Parts and then check the 
"Add United States" box, click "All locations in list", and then click 
"Continue".  Where USA is not the 4th piece of the location, you might use the 
"Search>Search and Replace" on the "Lists-Location".  It works much like a word 
processing function on any field in the database.  The "List-Location Short" 
field may need to be done also.Ron Taylor

I think that it applies to all Charts and Reports, and I checked both for 
Ancestors. You need to select from Report Options>Format and you will find the 
"Use quoted names" and "remove quoted names" about half way down the left hand

Thanks for the suggestion – I like the way you explain it, could you please 
clarify which reports that works with the quotes as I couldn’t see it when I 
tried it on my ancestors.



All I could see was the AKA option to include it in the reports.



Many thanks,

Ian,







Put the nickname in quotes eg. Leslie “Sammy” James Gardener. When printing 
reports etc. you are given the option of using the name in quotes when the 
person is referred to and also of removing the quotes (they are not mutually 
exclusive). You could also have for example William Arthur “Arthur” 
Ferguson for when a person uses a second name rather than the first.

I know how it’s meant to be done using aka’s but does anyone add nicknames

All my uncles were routinely known by their nicknames even with family &
most people not even knowing their real given names. So to take one uncle as

Any thoughts please?

Re: [LegacyUG] Date question --

2012-08-25 Thread Ron Ferguson 
Mike,

Simply that it is not really in common usage, I will not say "non-standard"
because there isn't a standard (thank goodness!). I also prefer to use the
format which the GRO uses when one orders certificates. I emphasise, that
this is just my preference, and I am in no way suggesting others should
adopt it.

What I was trying to illustrate was that by giving so many different options
for date prefixes it enables the users to apply them in ways which have a
special meaning to themselves. When published, it doesn't matter whether the
reader/viewer knows this meaning because the meaning of the prefix is the
same. I have - rarely - had an email asking why I use both on my website,
but it does not seem to be something which they pick up.

Another reason, although of no great importance, is having to change the "Q
Dates" to standard format if a GEDCOM is going to be used in a situation
where it would be a valid date. Also, I was using my system when Legacy
introduced the "Q Dates", and had to decide whether to amend all my records,
a question of added value against effort, and effort won - you can call this
laziness :-)

As you know, Legacy allows another form for entering the GRO dates. What do
you
have against entering these dates as 'Mar Q 1900'? Achieves the same thing
in my
view, but always willing to assess the point of view of someone else.

My usage:-

Abt   - when there is some, perhaps circumstantial evidence supporting the date
Circa - NEVER!
Cal   - similar to Abt, but usually in connection with MIs mentioning 'year of 
age'
Est   - Never.
