Ron, We already display the name of the other spouse following the child's name when showing half kids in family view.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem viewing .pdf files
Thanks for the replies. I'm not concerned with it not showing up in the Picture Center. The Media Gallery shows the .pdf file, but as stated in my original post, double clicking on it will not open it. I'm greeted with the message There is currently no default media player set up for your computer.

[LegacyUG] 'How To' YouTube video for changing tag colors in Legacy v8
This homemade video is made with basic screen capture software and is nothing fancy but if you can view it in HD 720P on YouTube, I think it will be satisfactory for viewing and following the steps. I believe the default viewing begins with 480P. It is much clearer if viewed in 720P. If it doesn't switch automatically to 720P, you can make this change under settings on the YouTube viewing screen.

The current program does show the missing biological parent in parentheses as you described and that is good but not the issue here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dropbox with Legacy8
This topic has been discussed several times. The Legacy database can reside almost anywhere you wish that your computer can access. The primary limitation is that only one program should open the database at a time. This is not a limitation of Legacy but of Microsoft Access which is where the data is managed and Legacy only provides functions to use it through Access. So, if you put your file in DropBox or some other internet sharing folder, you must also be aware that if it gets opened by multiple users, there could be trouble. In the case of DropBox, it may create additional copies of the file.

RE: [LegacyUG] Problem viewing .pdf files
Ed, A clue as to what might be happening, but I’m not sure how to prove it or fix it. Perhaps this suggestion will be enough for others with more specific knowledge to assist. I wonder if the ‘type of file’ for the PDF was incorrectly set to picture when the link was first established, and when you double click on it it is trying to use the built in picture viewer in Legacy and it can’t because the file is a PDF. When you attach any media item Legacy 8, you get a drop down menu with selections Picture, Sound, Video, Document, Internet Website, or Scan a Picture. Back in 7.5, there were four icons, Picture, Sound, Video, or File if I remember properly. I’ve never seen any use made of this data element other than if the type is picture, it’s tries to use some internal viewer to display the media, and if it is anything other than picture, it uses whatever default program you have set up for that file type.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dropbox with Legacy8
I run Legacy in Dropbox basically the same as I did 7.5. I have a Legacy Family Tree Folder in my dropbox folder which has the data folder in it. I maintain the same media folders that I had in 7.5 which are in a Legacy folder with subfolders for census, pics etc. Tom On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 12:08 PM, Ron Taylor doit4...@yahoo.com wrote: This topic has been discussed several times. The Legacy database can reside almost anywhere you wish that your computer can access. The primary limitation is that only one program should open the database at a time. This is not a limitation of Legacy but of Microsoft Access which is where the data is managed and Legacy only provides functions to use it through Access. So, if you put your file in DropBox or some other internet sharing folder, you must also be aware that if it gets opened by multiple users, there could be trouble. In the case of DropBox, it may create additional copies of the file.

[LegacyUG] Question about importing GEDCOMs
I've begun the process of importing some GEDCOM files to reduce the effort of loading people in my file. I have one small issue I cannot figure out. I record surnames in Title Case (that is, only the first letter capitalized), however when importing these GEDCOMs, the surnames come over in all upper case and I cannot figure out how to request Legacy to adjust this.

Paul, Thank you very much for your time. I was pretty sure I chose document as the type, but to be sure I reattached the file, being *very* careful to choose document.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about importing GEDCOMs
Scott, Check the help file, search for import gedcom and look at the section titled Format Names and Places. It will direct you to Customize which really means OptionsCustomizeData Format and then 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and you'll probably also want 3.6 and 3.7. Look at 3.4 for options for displaying the names without changing them in the database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Dropbox with Legacy8
Yes, Pat, I love it. And I can even share it with someone else through the Dropbox 'share' option (when they work on it, it doesn't change my database though - they would have to access MY dropbox for it to sync like that) It saved my bacon once when my data files got deleted by accident. I can work on my Legacy file easily from my laptop or desktop or if I go to the library and it syncs up perfectly. The only thing you can't do is work from two places simultaneously. So if you use it to work on it with a relative, for instance, you have to make sure you are not using it at the same time or you will cause problems. This has been discussed in the past, however, new members join us all the time and sometimes we just don't see posts or aren't interested in certain topics until we get further into the process. I certainly don't mind 'old topics' being posted; sometimes there are changes that have occurred since the last discussion and we always want to be helpful to anyone who posts a query. If anyone does wish to look at old posts on this or other topics, you can search the archives. Sometimes that can be a challenge to find what you want too, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from posting a query here either way. Every query helps not only that person, but others who had not asked the question yet. That is what this group is for. Pat, if you would like me to send you a dropbox invitation, email me privately kmeyer2...@gmail.com; it will get you a little extra space there as will I. I keep ALL of my family history related items on there, documents, pics, etc. as well as a number of other things.

This homemade video ismade with basic screen capture software andisnothing fancy but if you can view it inHD 720P on YouTube, I think it will be satisfactory forviewing and following the steps. I believe the default viewingbegins with480P. It is much clearer if viewed in 720P.If it doesn’t switch automatically to 720P,you can make this change under settings on the YouTube viewing screen.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about importing GEDCOMs
OK, I'm perplexed. Here are my options: 3.1 3.2 3.3all Initial Caps Format names and places checked. Import surnames all in UPPERCASE (not displayed .. in the database in Uppercase ... they shouldn't be!) ?

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart filling only half page width
Boyd A number of years ago I had a problem different but equivalent to what is happening to you. Purely by chance I found some other setting somewhere in the options for the chart/report was interfering with the setting that mysteriously changed; in other words they were using the same portion of memory somehow. Try checking on ANY changes at all you make to options between any chart generation and see if you can narrow it down to one particular setting, OR check if it always seems to occur immediately after one particular person is the focus of the chart. In which case it may be a particular setting for that person.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart filling only half page width
Thanks for your thoughts Peter. Try as I might, I cannot 'make' the problem happen. It occurs randomly, after several completely normal charts, some with exactly the same people. When I close Legacy and restart, and produce a chart with the same people the problem has disappeared (until next time!) It seems not to relate to any particular person. I've changed many of the chart settings and cannot make the problem recur. There are no particularly exotic programs on this computer, but I will watch out for the problem on my netbook which has even fewer programs. Next time it happens I will try a few more things before resorting to shutting the program down.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People
This is my approach to people whose names are not known. In the absence of a name Legacy sometimes adds a non-person called “Unknownâ€. To distinguish from this, my choice is usually to put “not known“ in the given name field. You can find these not known people from a Given Name sort of the Name List. If you have •a second marriage but you don’t know who the first spouse was - put “not known†(all lower case) as a given name •people known to be siblings but don’t know either of the parents - put surname (same as siblings) for father only, put mother’s given name as “not known†•mother and children but don’t know the father - put “not known†as father’s given name (not surname) so as not to compromise the children’s surname •father and children but no mother - put “not known†as a mother’s given name. These people are not “unknown†– it’s just that at this time I do not yet know their names.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People
Best to leave all unknown fields blank. For dates, a good guess based on birth years of parents or children or spouse or marriage date will help when doing merges.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People
If all I know is the person's first name, that is all I enter. I don't put 'unknown' or any variant of that in the surname field. If I later find out more, I create an AKA with appropriate sources, and then swap it for the current name. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Susan Jones said the following on 24/02/2014 6:39 p.m.: What would be the correct way to enter a person, whose surname you don’t know?
