[LegacyUG] Recording uncertain dates
Is there a way of recording doubtful dates in Legacy 8. For example an index has shown a death which may be for the individual concerned but this has not been verifiable, or the death is recorded in a particular quarter of a year (in the UK death registers) but the exact date is not known. I have written Jan qu 1862 but this comes up as a Problem I have also tried after 1861 or before 1863 but none of these are accepted by the Legacy programme Thanks Pam Sim Use Everyclick as your search engine and raise money for Play Lane Millennium Green http://www.everyclick.com/playlanemillenniumgreentrust http://www.everyclick.com/playlanemillenniumgreentrust Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Recording uncertain dates
Pam, In the Help file under Dates: Approximate, you'll find several acceptable date prefixes - Abt, Aft, Bef, Bet, Cal, Circa, and BC You can also use Quarter Dates from the GRO by entering the date as Jun Q 1876 My practice is to not enter anything that's doubtful. I simply make a To-Do item for that to research further before I put the information in. If I do find good info and then conflicting info, I make a To-Do to confirm which is correct, use the most likely date as the primary date and add an Alt. date as an Event.

RE: [LegacyUG] Recording uncertain dates
Pam, To record a quarter date in Legacy the format is Jun Q 1862. You can have Mar Q, Jun Q, Sep Q, Dec Q. Jan Q won’t work because that isn’t a valid quarter month. “After 1861” is a valid entry as is “Before 1863.” These should not trigger an error.

[LegacyUG] Source question - obits
I posted a query about obituaries on Tuesday night but it never posted. I don't know why not, but here goes again: I was entering an obituary as a source, and using the Source Writer. The obit was at a local library in Arkansas. I selected Newspapers - print editions - (microfilm or original). As I went through the fields for both source and detail, I did not see a field where I could enter in the repository - the name of the public library where the obituary was held. Should that not be an included piece of information?

RE: [LegacyUG] Source question - obits
According to Evidence Explained (section 2.19, Citing Repositories), if you are looking at a source (of published material) that is available at multiple repositories you do not need to include the name of the repository in the citation. If this newspaper was on microfilm it should also be available (at the very least) at the Arkansas State Archives and at least one of the state universities. If you were looking at the actual newspaper, it would, most likely, still be available on microfilm.The reason I specified published material (such as a newspaper) then this rule holds true. If you were talking about something like a unique manuscript that is only in one place you would have to cite the repository.

Unfortunately, Legacy seems to read a Quarter date as being 31 March, 30 Jun etc, If, for example, you enter a Birthdate as Mar Q 1950 and then enter a Baptism date of 1 Feb 1850 this will be flagged as a Potential Problem because Baptism before Birth.

RE: [LegacyUG] Recording uncertain dates
Jenny, Personally, if I knew the person was born in the March quarter and I knew that their exact baptismal date was 01 Feb, I would change the birth date to Between 01 Jan 1862 and 01 Feb 1862. I have now narrowed their birth down to 30 days instead of 3 months and I won't get a PP error. Since I will have the GRO as the source for the birth it will be obvious that I narrowed the date from the quarter date.

As a general rule it is recommended to use only lower case file names to be loaded onto websites. However this is not necessarily a problem - in your case the files not showing up on your PC implies that (unless you are using Unix) it may not be the cause. Probably worth checking though.

I use a batch file renamer Its free and easy to use http://www.ronsplace.eu/ You could point to the folder where your files are located , do a replace (space) with (underscore) and with one click it will change all the file names. It can also make changes to 'un- capitalize your filenames. Hope that helps Jay On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 11:30 AM, J.M.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source question - obits
Thanks Michele, for your explanation below. In addition to your comments, it may be helpful to save notes where the published material was viewed for later review or re-use. So, as new to Legacy, anyone feel free to correct any following mistakes, and I'll learn more about Legacy. For a repository location (where no record is required for published material) It looks like you can save notes for the location of the viewed material where the notes are not printed in reports, etc. So, going out on a limb, anyone please correct as needed... Options when adding the obit: (1) Add the obit as a master source and in the Master Source Definition, Text/Comments tab, in the (lower large box for user input) Comments about this master source box, type in the notes for the viewed location. Or (2) Add the newspaper as a master source (is this possible?) and in the Source Detail, Text/Comments tab, in the (lower large box for user input) Enter any comments about this citation box, type in the notes for the viewed location. Also (for both options above), check or uncheck the boxes below the typed notes indicating whether to include in reports (or not). So, if later on, you or someone else asks and you want to review the item again, you have notes recorded regarding where you viewed the material. Also (for both options above), there is an option to add a file ID# for a saved copy (digital or printed) of the obit.

Re: [LegacyUG] Showing Event Photos on Webpages
Note if you use any of these filename changers, you'll have to reattach your media to Legacy if it's more than a change to all lowercase. Also note that with Legacy you don't have to worry if you have a case mix in filenames or spaces if you are using the Legacy webpage generator as spaces are automatically changed to underscore and there is an option to change to all lowercase. Legacy also saves you from yourself by offering to ensure unique filenames if you have the bad habit of naming different photos stored in different folders with the same name.

[LegacyUG] 8.0.0.439 Sources and Duplicates?
I've been working very hard on a few files for a family reunion coming up, and today I open up files to continue where I left off, and find that the sourcing is completely gibberish in every file I open, as well as two to five duplicates of persons in multiple databases. The RINs are all out of order too. I have one file that the beginning person is listed correctly, then two generations down he's also listed as his grandson's son, then his great grandson's father. I'm so frustrated Is there a known bug in 439 for any of this, or is it just me? Any tips on trying to correct the problems? I'm in tears over here! I've opened multiple files, of different branches of my family, and they are all like this. I've had zero computer problems. I'm working on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 that is less than a year old. *Jessica Morgan* *Sr Engineering Technologist, Black Stone Minerals* *Chair, SPE GCS Petro-Tech Study Group* GedMatch kits: A064089 (SMK), A798429 (JMM), M399320 (JKM) FTDNA kits: B12555 (SMK), B12524 (JMM), B13031 (JKM) Ancestry.com: jrkmorgan - all trees private Hometown Cotton Valley, Louisiana.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 506 during back up
When you get a numbered error message, the first thing to do is to check the Legacy troubleshooting webpage. From the home page - under the Help menu This particular number isn't listed so your next best option is to contact Support You could try some of the general help suggestions. You could try clearing the temp folder - the location is at Options - Customise 6.3 In the meantime, do you really need to backup the media every time you backup your family file? Are you adding new media every session? I actually don't use the Legacy media backup at all unless I'm preparing to send part of my file and related media to a cousin. I back the media up in my regular backups to external hard drive and actually it's backed up all the time as I keep my attached media in Dropbox. I am able to do this with the free Dropbox because I've attached small copies of photos to Legacy - and I don't attach many source docs.
