[LegacyUG] Switching fields in an event
Hi, everyone - I'm hoping someone has already solved this problem and knows what to do. I have imported data that has information in the description field that I want to be in my event notes field. How can I get the data from these fields to be switched automatically (and, obviously, quickly and efficiently)? Thanks for your help. cheers, Kirsty Haining Seattle, Washington J 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] Marriage list
After discussing filing systems, I decided this morning to check my marriage list and I found hundreds of marriages with Unknown and Unknown. When I got to investigating further I found that each marriage had either a source attached, a marriage note, or a date. I went through a number of these marriages and deleted all the data and then had Legacy renumber the MRINs. Several were reused, but most were not. I then went through the same ones and made sure I removed the marriage link. These marriages disappeared from the screen, but when I had Legacy renumber the MRINs these were not reused and showed up again. I am assuming these marriages were created when I imported my GEDCOM file from FTM for the Mac after I got my Windows computer and started using Legacy again. It looks like each marriage was created as it should have been with all the data and then the marriage data was also placed in blank marriages thus creating these “ghost” marriages. I have tried compacting the family file, and check and repair but nothing has helped. These “darling” marriages still show up. I feel like there must be something I am missing and need help finding it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage list
As my mother would say, when the blood got back to my brain I finally understood what was happening. I deleted the marriage link and that got rid of that marriage. But, when I had Legacy renumber the MRINs it moved a “ghost” marriage into the number I had just cleared. So, I have now started at the end of the list and hopefully this will solve my problem.

Re: [LegacyUG] To ask your question
On 2015/03/03 17:46 PM, M Ross wrote: Where is the subject line I really don't understand this An email is like a letter. It has an envelope and the contents. The Envelope contains the email address of where the message is being sent to and the address of the person sending it. It also (and this is debatable) contains the one-line Subject of the message. The contents is your verbiage. I see you're using gmail as an email address, and from the contents of your earlier messages, it is not clear whether you're using a browser logged into GMail or an offline email client. I suspect the former. In which case, when you click on the Compose button from within gmail, you're shown a window that has the title New Message. Below that are two of the aforementioned envelope fields: the To Address and the Subject. The other envelope fields are automatically filled in for you. Below the Subject is where the Contents go, Now, the Subject is important because it tells people concisely (or should do) what your message is all about. Get it wrong and people are likely to ignore you. One other thing to mention is the thorny subject of Message Threading: this is the grouping of related messages and their replies. Now, Google likes to think that every message that has the same Subject line belongs to the same thread. This is not strictly correct according to the Internet Standards, but when did agreed standards ever bother Google or Microsoft. If you start a new message by taking an existing message, changing the subject and replacing the contents with your own, your message is not the start of a new thread: it's actually another reply in the thread to which the starter message belongs to. So, don't confuse 'Compose' with 'Reply'. The first starts a new thread, the latter continues an existing one. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriage list
Ila, Go to the Marriage List. Highlight each marriage that is shown as unknown-unknown one at a time and then go to Options Remove the Marriage link. If there is only one child attached to that marriage go ahead and remove the link. If there are two or more children attached to that marriage link then don’t remove the link, instead, go to Edit Husband and add the surname of the children. It is very likely you got all of the these unknown-unknowns from a gedcom import.

Maybe putting in one child automatically shows the unknown parents as that simply because the child must have had parents. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Marriage list
Leon, This is NOT a bug. It's just 'leftover' data in most cases. There are many ways these 'ghost' marriages are created and they stay in Legacy until you delete them. Why, because Legacy knows it isnt as smart as you are, and never assumes that just because you are removing a spouse or child from a marriage doesnt mean that marriage isnt valid. If you are on the Family View, and the wife has no parents, when you click on the 'parents' field to add someone, a marriage is created in Legacy, even if you dont add any names. By using a gedcom validator like Bonkers or the error checking in programs like Genealogica Grafica, you can review your files for errors like these that build up over time. Hope that helps.

I'd like to be able to add children without having to enter the surname of a mother or father, such as when foundlings who are also siblings end up with different surnames but the biological parents are unknown so the birth surname is unknown. If I do have known siblings but no parents names, rather than add a father as Michele suggested, I'd add a mother because there's a 50/50 chance the children could have been illegitimate. I'd also be more likely to add an honorific in the given name field and the surname in brackets as I do where I don't know the maiden name of a wife.

[LegacyUG] How Many Individual Information Pages for Females?
Should females be included in Legacy under their maiden names only or should you enter them under each married name? For example, Mary Smith is her maiden name. Her first husband was John Jones and her second husband was Harry Thompson. Do I have only one Individual Information Page for Mary Smith that includes all events in her life,even those events occurring during her marriages and under her married names? Or do I create three Individual Information Pages, one for each surname that she used in her lifetime? Many thanks! P.

Re: [LegacyUG] Switching fields in an event
Kirsty, There is a work around for this error in LegacyFamilyTree, but first I will re-report the error and then give a work around example. My OS Windows 8.1, 32 and 64 bit computers, Legacy version 8.0.0.473 setup to connect to FamilySearch (FSFT) with remembered name and password. Some individuals in FSFT have under “Facts and Events” an entry “Life Sketch” e.g. William Scott b. 25 Sep 1801, d. 1 Jun 1880, FS ID# LWQM-F3Q. The Life Sketch Event’s description can be quite long and far exceeding 255 characters. When I try to share this type of event by downloading (sharing) from FS to Legacy on my computer Legacy stores the information in Table tblER and tries to store the description in a 255 character field tblER.Description rather than the proper MEMO field tblER.Desc (What a confusing choice of field names!). When the Description field overflows (255 characters) a message is sent to FS that causes it to instantly drop my internet connection and generate an OS Error on my computer. Until I have deleted the offending event I am not allowed to reconnect to FS with that person active. This error was reported to Legacy in September 2014 and a ticket for repair generated, but the error was not fixed thru version 473. I do not know anything about uploading a LifeSketch Event from Legacy to FS, but I have my doubts. THE WORK AROUND – BABY STEPS USING A COPY OF LEGACY’S SAMPLE FILE 1.Create an unattached male - William Scott b. 25 Sep 1801, d. 1 Jun 1880, FS ID# LWQM-F3Q. and select him in Legacy’s Individual Information Screen. 2.Connect to FamilySearch by clicking the FamilySearch tool in Legacy – should display 15 possible duplicates 3.Select the Share Tab – should display William Scott’s information - Legacy on the left and FamilySearch info on the right. 4.Find the “LifeSketch” event on the right (FSFT) side and click the share arrow to start the download to your file. This will bring up a screen “Select action to perform” with the right side showing “Legacy” information and the left showing “FamilySearch” with more than a screen full of information. 5.Use the Windows select feature to highlight the FSFT information and ctrl-c to copy the information to Windows clip board. 6.Close the FSFT window, return to the Legacy’s Individual Information Screen, and open the Individual Information Screen to add an event to William Scott’s information. 7.Add a “LifeSketch” event to William Scott. Select the Notes field and use ctrl-v to transfer windows clip board to the Notes field. 8.Enter anything you want into the Date and Place fields, but DO NOT enter anything in the Description field of this event. (Anything in the Description field will prevent connection of this individual for further sharing with FSFT) I do not know which event caused you trouble, but I suspect the same difficulty with any event that has lots of information in the FSFT description field.

[LegacyUG] Using Married Names
Should females be included in Legacy under their maiden names only or should you enter them under each married name? For example, Mary Smith is her maiden name. Her first husband was John Jones and her second husband was Harry Thompson. Do I have only one Individual Information Page for Mary Smith that includes all events in her life,even those events occurring during her marriages and under her married names? Or do I create three Individual Information Pages, one for each surname that she used in her lifetime? Many thanks! P.

This latest release has introduced a problem in creating event notes. When I try to highlight a portion of a sentence by making it bold and/or underlined, a couple of extra spaces are introduced before that portion of the sentence as well as after it, but before the comma or semicolon leading to the rest of the sentence. This has not happened before. Those extra sentences are also underlined if u/l is used. Does anyone else see this happening? For example: He was head of a household that included his wife, Elza, age 39; and children Samantha, age 17;...etc. This becomes: He was head of a household that included his* wife, Elza, age 39 *; and children Samantha, age 17. etc. This unfortunate error occurs only after one saves the event. Opening it again will display the problem. This error is repeatable. It does not appear when I open an existing event that already has some highlighting of this type. However if I undo the highlighting there, and then redo it, the error appears. Thus it appears to me that the problem was introduced by release 467.

RE: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names
Priscilla, You enter females using their maiden name. If you select the option to “include married names” on the Name List, you will see them under both names. If you see her name on a document with her married name then you can add it as an AKA. You shouldn’t arbitrarily add someone’s married name to the AKA field unless you have a source for it.

If I do have known siblings but no parents names, rather than add a father as Michele suggested, I'd add a mother because there's a 50/50 chance the children could have been illegitimate.

Always use the maiden names for ALL females. If you do NOT know the maiden name then use something that tells you that you are missing the maiden and, so you can always search for it later.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names
Hi Gerald, For a Calendar list, if you want both, you are going to have to keep doing what you are now OR see below. For other reports, if you've entered an AKA for the married name, both will show if you choose to include the AKAs. The standard is to always enter with the maiden name. Also add the previous marriage and make sure you check the Husband list and put them in the right order using the arrow keys. If you don't know the previous husband's name, you at least usually know his surname. I show the name used at the time of the marriage in the source for the marriage. You could also add a Marriage Note saying she was a widow or divorcee at the time of the marriage. OR you are going to have to break the standards and enter with the married surname and use the Title Suffix field to add the maiden name- eg nee Huffman or formerly Davies nee Huffman Whatever you do it has to be clear to someone else. Just adding other surnames in brackets or just tagged on to the Given Names is confusing. Cathy gerald wrote: When I enter the names, I use the maiden name.

The updates section will tell you when a new update is available and, if you have the deluxe version, allow you to update from within Legacy. Standard version users will have to obtain the update from our web site.

This latest release has introduced a problem in creating event notes. When I try to highlight a portion of a sentence by making it bold and/or underlined, a couple of extra spaces are introduced before that portion of the sentence as well as after it, but before the comma or semicolon leading to the rest of the sentence. This has not happened before. Those extra sentences are also underlined if u/l is used. Does anyone else see this happening? For example: He was head of a household that included his wife, Elza, age 39; and children Samantha, age 17;...etc. This becomes: He was head of a household that included his* wife, Elza, age 39 *; and children Samantha, age 17. etc. This unfortunate error occurs only after one saves the event. Opening it again will display the problem. This error is repeatable. It does not appear when I open an existing event that already has some highlighting of this type. However if I undo the highlighting there, and then redo it, the error appears. Thus it appears to me that the problem was introduced by release 467.

RE: [LegacyUG] Marriage list
Charani, You can simply add a father with the surname of the children that are siblings. Leave his given name blank and don't add a wife. This will keep your siblings linked together.

Lots of Unknown married to Unknown. I've just produced a list of marriages and found the same thing but in my case I have several children who I /know/ are related but I don't know the names of their parents or even if the surname they used was their birth one. Legacy won't let you add a sibling if there isn't at least one parent. Maybe putting in one child automatically shows the unknown parents as that simply because the child must have had parents. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
