Re: [LegacyUG] ISO labor-lite suggestions re tagging
I was NOT expecting this to be a many-diastered multi-year project, thus erroneously hypothesized that a statement on RIN 1 saying Unless otherwise sourced, all data is from the book would work. So, no, generally there are/were no sources assigned. When I validated the info I copied it into NOTES, and moved on. But, yes, ok maybe I can use that absence to help... The entire file was assigned a source 2009 PAF db when I moved it into Legacy. Thanks!

However, if you did assign a source then you could just tag all those individuals or marriages that are assigned that master source. Once you have done that, then you could do an advanced search: What to searchindividual how to search not equal to which ever tag you assigned to the ones that had the source. That should give you a list of those that you didn't source the book. You could then assign them a different tag number that you can then look them up to see if they are in the book or not. -Original Message- From: singhals Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2014 5:42 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] ISO labor-lite suggestions re tagging Database/familyfile of ~15,000 persons and 5100 marriages.

Second assumption is that the data from the book was not entered at random but page by page. Prove that be finding the last entry that would have been made from the book and remember the RIN for it. All new information will have RINs above that. Hope that will help. Yes on this one I did re-use -- there were a lot of unflagged pedigree-collapse points. Yes, I did do page-by-page. If the book data was only in the PAF file, do you still have it? That file could be imported again into a new Legacy file. Then import the new Legacy file made from the book and have a master source set for all the imported individuals. Run a complete merge. Any individuals with the new master source are those that came from the book entries. Those without the master source were not in the book. Ron Taylor Yes I still have both the PAF file and PAF.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location changed by merging records and closing location edit list
Sorry but I will need some step by step instructions. I did try to follow your description of what you were doing but with some errors in your terminology I was not able to confirm this as a problem. I used the sample file that comes with Legacy so you can follow along with my steps Use Sample File Select Asa Clark Brown Open him for edit which opens the individual edit form (page as you call it) select his birth in Woodstock Use the down arrow to open the Master Location List (not the Geo database) The GEO db opens with Woodstock selected since this location is in the Geo Database *** There is no way to combine locations in the Geo Db though so this is where I lost you *** I selected Woodstock from the Geo Db to return to the Master Location List (this is where you can combine locations) I clicked the Combine button I then selected Tionesta, PA and clicked the Combine With (This combined Woodstock into Tionesta so Woodstock no longer existed in the Master Location List) To follow your step of combining other locations I then selected West St. Paul MN Clicked Combine a second time Selected Winnebago Prairie MN Clicked Combine With to remove West St. Paul Winnebago Prairie is highlighted I then clicked close (If you click Select at this point you are selecting the currently highlighted location so that will be the location returned to the Individual Information form) The Birth Location for Asa is now Tionesta PA (the location into which Woodstock was combined) and not the location highlighted on the Master Location List (Winnebago Prairie).

Re: [LegacyUG] Pedigree Report Problem
Your option to not put boxes around individuals and Colour text and boxes are mutually exclusive. To have coloured boxes you have to turn on the boxes around individuals. If you turn off boxes the report will be in black text only. You can customize the text colour by right clicking on the boxes in the custom colour screen where you choose the colour text and boxes to be used but each box has to have its text colour set individually. Those text colours are only used with coloured boxes so if you turn off boxes you cannot have coloured text. You do not say how the report looks when you preview it although you do say When I preview the report it is as I would like to see it.. Are there boxes or not? Are they coloured? Having said that however I did test your assertion that the saved settings were not working. I set up and saved a pedigree chart with settings to use both boxes and colours. I then closed the pedigree chart, reopened it and used reset to set the chart to default settings. With the defaults the chart used boxes but no colours. I also set up, previewed and saved another setting file for a chart without boxes. I then loaded the saved chart settings for the coloured boxes and when I previewed the report the chart did use boxes and colours.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pedigree Report Problem
Thanks Brian. Here is what Jairmie from Tech Support indicated: Bobby, You found a bug but not in the sense that you think. Legacy is not supposed to allow boxes and pictures at the same time. If you want pictures you cannot have boxes, but in order to have the colors like you want you must have boxes (4 line colors) so by changing the settings and then changing the line colors you are getting around Legacy's parameters.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging every ancestor and their offspring?
Try this. It's not difficult but it may be tedious if you've traced your lines back a long way. Search - Find - Miscellaneous tab Set yourself as the start person (if not already set) Direct Line Ancestors with no parents Clear List before this search Create List This gives you a list of all your furthest back ancestors. For me, I would have 639. Some might be redundant (eg husband and wife). From the search list, for each person on the list First person only Options - Advanced Tagging select desired tag number, untag, everyone, yes Also suggest setting the tag you are using as one of the 3 tags being shown on the search list Select tag, Descendants Set spouse option if desired (presumably all) Set generations (presumably max/999) Select Descendants (vs entire line) OK Close All Other (I think it would be OK to skip persons that are already tagged) Options - Advanced Tagging Descendants OK Close This should give you all of your ancestors and all of their descendants (all your cousins). -Original Message- From: Dave Johnson [mailto:davel...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 11:13 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging every ancestor and their offspring?

[LegacyUG] Family Group Sheets
Now that I can see all the email I would like to ask my question again. I would like to know if there is a way to print out a family group sheet which has lines for each persons, Born, Bapt, Died, Buried etc. Currently each persons section is just a blank box unless I have some information for one of the categories.

[LegacyUG] New Individual Added, accidentally Clicked Close, then Cancel, GONE
Added a new stand alone person, Mary Mitton, and a marriage record event for her, saved the event to the clipboard, accidentally clicked close?, Legacy asked if I wanted to cancel? the close?, clicked the cancel, and all disappeared.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging every ancestor and their offspring?
Dave, Try this: 1. Unlink your wife from her parents2. Select yourself as the focus person3. Go to Advanced Tagging, select a Tag # and Untag that from everyone4. Select Tag Entire Family Line5. Review Name List to ensure that the correct people are tagged6. Create a new Legacy family file or GEDCOM from the tagged list7. Re-link your wife to her parents Hope this works for you. John S.

This is what the Advanced Tagging: Ancestors, Entire Ancestor Line promises. Whether or not it works for you depends on whether you have links between branches. I do have links so can't use it. eg a maternal cousin married a distant relative of my father. You can control it a bit by setting the number of generations. When I want all the ancestors of a person with all the offspring of each ancestor, I identify the ancestor or ancestor couple at the end of lines of their pedigree chart and then tag the descendants of each one or each couple on the same tag (which of course I've made sure is clear) To tag the descendants you use Advanced Tagging - Descendants - and make sure you choose Descendants and NOT Entire Descendant Line. If you don't want the spouses who married into the line and enabled the next generation of descendants, then I think you have to manually untag them. This is most easily done in Descendant View. Customise the columns to show the tag number you have used. You can double click in the Tag column to either set or unset a tag.

Highlight the person in Family tab for whom ancestry will be the focus. Control T to start advanced tagging options. Set the tag number to be changed. Clear that tag first if necessary. Click Ancestors then click Direct Line Ancestors and check the box under that to Include Siblings. You may also want to check Include Spouses of Siblings. Set the Number of Generations to include as desired. Then click OK to set the tag number selected. When tagging is finished, you will have the direct line ancestry and all children linked to that tree with the tag set. If you really want the children of those children, you would have to tag descendants of each of the direct line individuals to 3 generations. A focus group might help with that process. Once you get individuals tagged, then you can use that subset for whatever purpose you had in mind.

Unfortunately, while documenting those people, I've added people who should have been in the book but aren't (siblings, children, parents). It's too late to tell me I should've thought of this sooner, so we can skip that part of the class. I need a *quick* way to tag maybe 25% in the db/ff who aren't in the book. I /can/ hypothetically sit here with the book in one hand and page through it again finding and tagging those people. I suspect the Galaxy will atrophy before I could finish that because apparently I have to have the person in the primary position to click a tag. 5 marriages took close to 2 hours. I considered the tag family, but that'll end up tagging everyone, including a sibling and descendants who aren't in the book. I can find /some/ by the omission of the import source. That won't help the ones added prior to moving it into Legacy. Ideas welcomed here.

RE: [LegacyUG] Tagging every ancestor and their offspring?
Dave, I have always used the Detailed Search to find my entire direct line. I have loved this Legacy method as I keep only one file and can separate out any family with ease. Now, with some of the replies, I may be doing it incorrectly??? Maybe I'll have to explore the results a little more closely. My method: Set your Direct Line Go to Detailed Search (Check 'Clear List before this search') Primary Condition 1 Look for whom? Individual Where to look Relationship How to Look Equal to What to look forRelated Second Condition: Or Look for whom? Individual Where to look Relationship How to Look Equal to What to look forSpouses and Inlaws Then you can go to Options/Advanced Tagging and tag everyone in the Search List. This should give you your entire family tree. If you leave out the second condition you won't get the spouses and inlaws. This does include my step children but not my wife's other husband. This should work for anyone in your file where you have set the direct line. If you want your wife's tree then use her as the starting person to Set Preferred Line. I would appreciate knowing if this was what you were looking for and how you make out.

Highlight the person in Family tab for whom ancestry will be the focus. Control T to start advanced tagging options. Set the tag number to be changed. Clear that tag first if necessary. Click Ancestors then click Direct Line Ancestors and check the box under that to Include Siblings. You may also want to check Include Spouses of Siblings. Set the Number of Generations to include as desired. Then click OK to set the tag number selected. When tagging is finished, you will have the direct line ancestry and all children linked to that tree with the tag set. If you really want the children of those children, you would have to tag descendants of each of the direct line individuals to 3 generations. A focus group might help with that process. Once you get individuals tagged, then you can use that subset for whatever purpose you had in mind.

Does anyone have any clues how to do this?
