Re: [LegacyUG] Switching fields in an event
Kirsty, Importing data from another program into Legacy and downloading data from FamilySearch into Legacy will have nearly the same problems. The tool I use to see what is going on is Dennis Kowallek’s Zipper Software – Ltools Deluxe version. See web address zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/what-is-ltools/ for information. Dennis provided strong support through Legacy ver 7.5 and viewing Legacy’s tables still works well. Programming changes to Legacy8’s Event Tables will require learning SQL programming language – not trivial. The work around for you may be to get a new gedcom file from FTM and edit out, with a word processing program, all individuals except those with troublesome events. Then edit the events to have field names that will transfer into Legacy Note fields, and then use legacy’s merge individuals feature. None of this is worth the effort unless you have lots of events with problems. If you only have a small number of troubling events then use Windows split screen feature and display FTM on one side and Legacy on the other. Get the problem event displayed with both programs and use Windows clipboard (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) to put the offending information into Legacy’s Notes, or use FreeClips to do the same thing. Delete anything in Legacy’s Event Description field if you plan to access FamilySearch with an individual using this event. Howard Cady From: Kirsty M. Haining Sent: Wednesday, March 4, 2015 1:47 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Switching fields in an event Hi, Howard — Thanks for taking a stab at answering my question. The issue you faced sounds quite frustrating, and I’m glad you found a solution. Unfortunately, my issue has to do solely with Legacy, and not with its integration with FamilySearch’s tree. I actually had data that came from a FamilyTreeMaker file that was imported into Legacy — the import is already completed and there’s been too much work to go back to the importing step. But that’s how the information ended up in the wrong fields. Once I try to merge this temporary Legacy tree with my main tree (which I haven’t done yet, since I’m trying to clean up and standardize things), I will have a problem with this particular event because the format is so different from my regular Legacy event. There are two possible solutions that I can see — one is to create a new event, and rework all the sentence definitions so that these particular ones use the description field in a different way. The other solution would be to standardize the input of the data by switching the information that is in the Legacy event fields. My preference is for the latter. If there’s a way to do this from within Legacy, that would be terrific. If I need to use Access to switch the field information, I’m open to doing that (although I hope it would be fairly simple to do since I haven’t really used Access to modify my Legacy database before). cheers, Kirsty 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] Probable Bug - Bolding Notes in Event Screen
Someone else may have noticed this bug, but I have seen no email regarding it. When documenting a census event, I transcribe the census record in the Notes Field. I typically start by pasting the text tab contents into each persons in a census record. Then I Then I highlight the person whose Legacy Record I am working in. The problem is that when I first Bold the name of the head of household and save the Event, instead of Bolding the first name, the system puts a /b in front of the name. After the name has been saved and I pull it up again, I can delete the /b and Bold the name and then it holds. An example is below: Text/Comments tab contains the transcribed Census Record for this household as follows: Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English; Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. When I copy the text (above) and paste it into the Census Event Notes field, for Eleanor McGinnis, I put in one blank line followed by 1) just as Geoff explained in his Census Event DVD. Then I delete the semi-colon after each person's information and replace it with a period. Then I hit enter and type 2) for the second person. And so forth. Before saving the record I Bold the first name, in this example Elenor McGinnis. After saving the Census Event, when I reopen the census event it looks like this. 1) \bElenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English. 2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. but it should read as follows: 1) Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English. 2) Elza V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak English. This seems to happen only when I paste the information into the note the first time. Please see if you can replicate this error. Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Any Way to Print Surname Summary Report with Selection of Records?
Thanks for taking the time to find that web page. But the instructions are for Y-DNA (which is mostly male) or mt-DNA (which is only female). I am looking for info for Autosomal DNA (which includes everyone), so the instructions won't work for my situation. But I might be able to alter them somehow to get the result I am looking for.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ?
Thanks for all of your answers, Charani. Thank you for letting me know that the document is not online. I use Chrome for internet. In order to go to the document where I had saved it in my computer, I had to click on an icon that looked like the one for Chrome, so figured that it was online. I think I have figured out how to change the line length when using Text file. I see that it has a box after those words with 80 in it. I have changed that number several times...now to 170. It is far better. I made the report with the page in landscape and then copied it and pasted it into Word. There are still some things to fix once it is in Word, but at least that can be done. If there are any easier ways or something else that I should know about how to do this, please pass that along.
