Re: [LegacyUG] Marking possibles
Hi Jane, You can't choose to omit a tag group from a report - but there is a way. This is a case for one of the privacy options. Just mark these people Invisible on their Individual Information Sheet you'll find a Privacy Settings button. You could customise Family View so that this shows instead of the default Cause of Death. You customise Family View by right clicking on a label and then click the button with 3 dots next to the field you want to change. Look for Private in the list. When running a report you can override the Privacy options which by default don't include Invisible people when you wanted a report for yourself. Cathy Jane Sarles wrote: It does, and thank you. I like the tag idea and will probably try that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Privacy options problem with Descendant Narrative Report
Hi Pat, Only two suggestions. 1) Check the privacy status of the son - if he's invisible, the line won't print unless that privacy option is overridden. See the Privacy button in the Report Options where you're choosing to exclude the living. 2) On your Individual Information sheet, check that you are not dead ;-) Cathy Pat Hickin wrote: Hi, Cathy, Still having the problem and I've done all those things. The guy I'm trying to print out the desc narr rep for only has one son and he has both a birth and death date (dmy). i tried doing a descendant _chart _and when I tell it to exclude Living, I only get the one ancestor (otherwise, if I include everybody, it's 80 pp long, just for a chart.)

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM import questions
Hi Dale, You haven't said where the Gedcom came from. You also haven't said what the missing notes were attached to originally. Legacy has a lot of different note fields. Vital event notes, Special Event notes as well as General, Research and Medical Notes. It's highly unlikely you've exceeded a maximum size with General Notes - or any other note. You might get more specific help if you copied part of the Gedcom with a note that is missing from the Legacy file so the Gedcom experts could see the series of Tags. You know that a Gedcom is a plain text file so can be opened in Notepad etc? Cathy Dale E O'Connor mailto:doconnor4...@centurytel.net Wednesday, 27 August 2014 8:06 AM I did some further checking and found that some of the notes are there(General Notes). I don't know why some are there and some are not. Maybe they exceeded the maximum size or something. When I did the GEDCOM import I only had one error. It was a date. There were no errors on notes. I found a report under Help/File Properties that had some additional totals for the database.

[LegacyUG] To input or not to input
I have an ancestor from early Virginia, Timothy Redding. He is found in early records along with others, Francis, John, William, Arthur, etc. Their relationship is not named and there is no clue as to what it may be. I know that I can put those other guys in as unlinked people, but they will not show up when I study my data and am trying to fit clues together as to who Timothy's parents or brothers are. Am I correct in thinking that it is not possible to have the other Redding men to show up in family view or individual chart (which is what I use to do my major work and thought.) If they are in as 'unlinked? I seldom think to go to the list of unlinked people to compare with data I am discovering as I research. Wondering how others handle this?

Re: [LegacyUG] To input or not to input
Jane, I use Legacy primarily as a research tool, so I'm comfortable with things which clash with good genealogy practice and may require care with anything to be shared. Very commonly, I resort to the extensive and versatile Placeholder family. One example is a problem with my Pratts, where detail of an estate entailment supports connection but points at the wrong brother. Pending resolution, there's now an extra brother, Entailed Pratt Placeholder as my mother's ancestor. His notes describe the problem and possible sources of info. This is quiet regarding reports and charts, since it doesn't affect number of generations, but visually obvious and quick to find since all Placeholders list together and given names can offer keys. Removal is just trivial delinking and relinking. Another general example is helping use of Legacy where DNA is involved and speculation can really run rampant. Some of my Placeholders are quite long lived, hundreds, even thousands, of years, and have the ability to bridge from my surname(s) to other genealogies or deep ancestries where DNA indicates probability of connection but proven (or provable) linkage is lacking. Placeholders can be tagged as a class, unlinked or mass deleted, so it's easy to revert to conventional format for a report or other reason. Simply do a backup, dump everything you don't want and when you are done, restore from the backup. kb - Original Message - From: Jane Sarles sarlesinsi...@gmail.com ...

Re: [LegacyUG] To input or not to input
Several items for thought. Feel free to pick one or come up with your own: 1) You could add them as a child. 2) Then on the FAMILY tab, right click on any child in the list of children at the bottom, select CHILDREN SETTINGS 3) Select this person in the pop-up window, and in the RELATIONSHIP TO fields at the bottom click the DOWN ARROW 4) In the window that pops up, select ADD 5) Enter in a relationship. Maybe something like .unknown parent or .unsure of parent or .is this their child? or something like that. (Note that I put a . in front of any relationships I create. Helps me to realize it is one of my creations and may need tweaks in sentences, reports and such.) 6) Click SAVE 7) Now click on that relationship and click SELECT (Note in the future you obviously don't need to go through the ADD process - skips steps 4 and 5 and 6.) Unfortunately I'm not sure in which reports this relationship shows up. You could also add a dummy event (add a new event with a name of .Is this their child or some such thing). Then fill in the details in the event notes. Or you could just add an entry in the NOTES field of the person with an explanation that The parenthood needs to be research. Person lived with xxx per record , but not sure if it was their child. Remember that you can think of Genealogy as recording blood lines or recording families. Technically if you only record blood lines, you would not include adoptions and such, and would not include unknown relationships. But if you think of it as recording families - this person WAS obviously a part of this family in some fashion or another. They were in family records so they had SOME kind of relationship with the family. They may have been a classmate of one of the children and the classmate lived with this family for a few months (or a few years), or whatever. But the fact that they lived with them for even a short time, they were definitely a part of the family, had an impact on the family life and should be recorded.

Re: [LegacyUG] GEDCOM import questions
Hi Dale, Try the Death Notes field. You access it by clicking the plus sign at the end of the Death input line on the Individual Information screen. Cathy Dale E O'Connor wrote: The Gedcom was produced in The Master Genealogist(TMG). It was on the Tag Entry for his death. It was a Memo. It came out in the Gedcom as a Note. I looked at General, Research and Medical Notes. It wasn't in any of these. I don't know yet how to look at the other note fields. I haven't found out yet what the maximum size the Note field can be. 2 NOTE Mary Turner Hendrix said that when Big Dave died she was old enough to spend the night away from home when he died. She heard later that it was a bad crop year and they had no money to buy him a tombstone. He was living with David Wels 3 CONC h and Roxanne Gilbert on Byler Road in Walker County, Alabama at the time. 3 CONT Christine Gilbert Dickson told us that Big Dave was a mormon and he had 7 wives. He was taken to court in Walker County and then to a higher court to make him get rid of his wives. Court sent all but 2 back to Utah. Nora Ann Gilbert O' 3 CONC Connor had heard her father and her grandmother, Audie Gilbert say that he had 7 living women. 2 SOUR @546@ I have found a couple people where there were two notes in the Gedcom. It looks like the second note replaced the first. The second note is in the General Notes. Are you allowed to have a blank line in a Note field? I just got my Deluxe customer number 2 days ago. I am trying to find out what will get losts or changed going from TMG to Legacy. Thanks, Dale On 8/27/2014 2:27 AM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Dale, You haven't said where the Gedcom came from. You also haven't said what the missing notes were attached to originally. Legacy has a lot of different note fields. Vital event notes, Special Event notes as well as General, Research and Medical Notes. It's highly unlikely you've exceeded a maximum size with General Notes - or any other note. You might get more specific help if you copied part of the Gedcom with a note that is missing from the Legacy file so the Gedcom experts could see the series of Tags. You know that a Gedcom is a plain text file so can be opened in Notepad etc? Cathy Dale E O'Connormailto:doconnor4...@centurytel.net Wednesday, 27 August 2014 8:06 AM I did some further checking and found that some of the notes are there(General Notes). I don't know why some are there and some are not. Maybe they exceeded the maximum size or something. When I did the GEDCOM import I only had one error. It was a date. There were no errors on notes. I found a report under Help/File Properties that had some additional totals for the database.

RE: [LegacyUG] To input or not to input
It is on the webinar page and is called Legacy Family Tree: Beyond the Basics. Bobby -Original Message- From: Robert57P_gmail [mailto:robert...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 6:30 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] To input or not to input Bobby, What's the name of that webinar (or its presentation date)? I try clicking on the link, but it fails for me. I can get to http://www.familytreewebinars.com/ and I can then click on the view more under the New in the archives section. But after that, I'm not sure which one to select. I'm guessing it is the Aug 22nd one: Legacy Family Tree - Beyond the Basics?
