Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Syncing people in two family files
Dan, Repeating previous user comments. Put everything you want to save in one file. Two files lead to a lot more work and confusion. I know, I tried it. Legacy has many options for selecting just the ancestors or descendants of a specific person. One of the most useful options is creating a book of all the DEAD descendants of an ancestor, which can be shared without a risk of identity theft it gets in the hands of the wrong person. Do be sure you use the [[ ]] to make info private in notes, sources, and events that should not be shared with the world. And backup to an external hard drive and/or the cloud every time you close the program or make changes or additions-at least daily. You can put e-mail and other correspondence in the general notes or sources or other locations so that years later you will still have the info available, even if you lose your e-mail files.

RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry findagrave
Hi Bill, Not sure of the reason but I cannot link to the internet and Ancestry.com from Family Tree Maker or from the internet. But then I’m a new Legacy user having just recently switched from Family Tree Maker. At the moment I’m recovering from a failed hard drive with the new hard drive installed just yesterday. Only trying to use Family Tree Maker until I can get my media files scrubbed in Legacy as they did not transfer to Legacy so well. So the bottom line is no I can’t get on Ancestry, not sure why, message in Family Tree Maker says I’m not online (not true) or firewall blocking – maybe so because I’m no computer expert by a long shot, but antivirus software does show Family Tree Maker as being allowed. So I’m unsure why but everything I’ve touched for the past few days, well you know how that is!

A couple of their sites are running but not Find a Grave and the main Ancestry.com site. I saw some posts on the FB page saying that it 'goes down all the time' but I haven't had that experience, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry findagrave
Here is an interesting web site to visit when you think some other web server is non-responsive: IsItDownRightNow http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ (or the short-hand version http://iidrn.com) Enter “findagrave” for the domain name. This works great for a whole bunch of other popular sites that tend to work like yo-yos.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry findagrave
I worked for an hour or more on Ancestry.com, searching for census records for a family for 1900, 1910, etc. I could find records and copy text about an individual, but I was not able to connect to the image of census sheets. This would cause a reset. Then I would have to go back to the browser and get back into Ancestry. So after trying several census years, I decided to quit Ancestry and try again tomorrow.

Re: [LegacyUG] email list too much- inbox overload
Hi Wendy, I use the IMAP option and I think this is how it allows the folders to be created in Gmail ( and appear in my online versions of Gmail) and also synchronises both my desktop and laptop. Link with screen shot has been sent directly to you - refer to left hand side of image to see folders (or some thereof) Jennie On 17/06/2014 2:48 PM, Wendy Howard wrote: I have folders in my Thunderbird program, too, where I read most of the emails sent to my Gmail account (and I'm composing this reply). What I described below is talking about Gmail directly on the web, ie at gmail.com or mail.google.com in a browser, not being read via a program where the mail is downloaded to your computer. My apologies for not making myself clearer. Wendy Jennie Matheson said the following on 17/06/2014 10:17: I have managed to get folders into my Gmail. I manage my emails using Mozilla Thunderbird and the folders that are created there using filters are reflected in my online Gmail account and thus allow my emails to also synch between my desktop and my laptop. If anyone wishes assistance with this contact me privately. Jennie On 16/06/2014 10:46 AM, Wendy Howard wrote: Gmail doesn't 'do' folders, it has labels. I have a filter in my Gmail mail box that picks out list mail and applies a label to it. After I posted in this same thread yesterday, I spent a little time to update my web page at http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/How-to.htm#RuleFilter to show how to set such a filter in Gmail, with pictures (screenshots) to show where to look for things. This filter assumes you read your mail at Gmail, you can tailor the options if these are not exactly to your needs. Think about whether you want a filter to apply a label automatically as the mail comes in, or not. Looking at the options (you can see them in the screenshot at #7 for Gmail at my page above) it is possible to set this criteria if you want - but I've never tried that, and you may not want all such emails labelled. If it's something you want to do on-the-fly as you read your mail at Gmail, it's very simple. If you've got the email open, look for the icon near the top of the screen that looks a bit like a luggage tag - hover over it and Labels appears as helpful text. Click on that, then select the label you want to apply, or click on Create new and create a new label as you work. If you don't already have the email open, but can see it in the list on the screen, check the box to the left of it, then select the label to apply (the luggage-tag icon will appear once you've checked one email). You can set a label to several emails at the same time if you want - just keep checking them before going to the Label icon. Then when you want to go to just these labelled emails, click on the label name down the left-hand side of your screen (I'm assuming you're using a computer, not a tablet or phone, which will be arranged somewhat differently, and may not have all the options available), and the emails with that label will appear on your screen. I have a few emails in my mail box, for a variety of things, that I want to be able to locate quickly when I need them. Instead of using a label, I 'star' them by clicking on the star that's next to the Reply icon when the email is open. Or you can click on the star next to the email when you're looking at the list. When I want to see the starred emails, I click on Starred below Inbox at the top left of the screen, and there they are. You may need to manage your labels to make this show if it's not visible and you want to use it. It's essentially another label, with a special position in the hierarchy. Lastly, if you don't want to do any of this, the searching power at Gmail is excellent. Click on the little down-arrow in the search field at the top of the screen (next to the blue search icon) to bring up the search options. You can search for mail that has an attachment, and specify the size to look for (greater or less than a figure of your choosing). Add that to other search terms, and it should take you seconds to locate that one email amongst thousands. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy singhals said the following on 16/06/2014 09:15: OK, since you've said this -- any idea how to create a new folder at gmail? I want one called HELD MAIL where I can put extra-large messages with attachments until I can get to a hi-speed connex.

If you're using an outdated version of Outlook like I am (2007), you go to Tools then Rules and Alerts on the menu bar. From there you can create a rule to specify what folder to send the emails to. I don't know if it's changed much in later versions of Outlook. Like was mentioned, if you don't check that folder frequently you may be responding to an old thread that has

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry findagrave
I'm not sure what is going on. (I somewhat suspect the denial of services story for a number of reasons despite what Ancestry put out but the sites have definitely been down. The sites that have been down - or up and down - include Ancestry, Rootsweb, Fold3, Genealogy.com, etc. Earlier this afternoon Ancestry proudly proclaimed they were back up and running - and then had to admit via twitter that they were not up and running. All you can do is keep trying. At some point I suspect someone will fix whatever and they really will be up and running.
