Re: [LegacyUG] Add an individual person
Hi June, That's it. You just link in the one person and they're all linked in. This is the advantage of using just one file for all your research. When you find a link, you don't have to merge files. Sometimes you will find you have duplicates in the one file. Then you do a manual merge of the two people you've decided are the same person. A much easier task than merging two whole files. When I started on a particular line many years ago, I had a heap of paper from various people. A quick glance suggested they were all the same. It was only by entering the data one piece of paper at a time that I discovered that there were lots of little differences and some big ones. Then I had to find other information to resolve the differences. But if I'd kept just staring at the paper I doubt I would have picked up the little differences though I guess the big ones would have dawned on me eventually.

This is not working. Here are the options I am choosing: 1. Export Gedcom file. 2. Record selection. 3. Selected records contained in the focus group. 4. Edit focus group. 5. Add an individual and descendants. 6. Change (to my ancestor George D Lane) 7. Spouse (selecting All spouses) 8. Click OK in Descendant Options dialog box, leaving Descendants selected (as opposed to Entire Descendant Line) 9. Click OK in Focus Group dialog box 10. Click Close in GEDCOM Record Selection dialog box 11. Click Select file name and start export. I export the file and then import it into a new fdb file. George D Lane shows up and all his children by his 3 wives. Their names are listed as unknown. His descendants show up down to me but none of his descendants' spouses are listed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Color Schemes
Confirmed. Problem report raised to have this fixed. The hyphen is needed because User-default and Legacy-default are two-word adjectives for settings.

These included Acrobat's Pre-Press color setting files and some others from Photoshop and a few from elsewhere on the web. After figuring out that none of these were really intended for use with the Legacy interface (they turned most items black), I went back to the Options button within the Set Color Scheme window and selected Reset the Color Scheme to Legacy-Default. Note that there is another option to Reset to User-Defaults (if one was saved). Interestingly the window that opened asked me to confirm if I wanted to Reset to User-Defaults. That's NOT what I selected. I tried again by selecting Reset to Legacy-Defaults and once again I was asked if I wanted to Reset to User-Defaults. This time I answered Yes and fortunately got back the Legacy Defaults. I then changed the Color Scheme to some ugly looking pea-green and saved that as my User Default. I retried the option to Reset to Legacy-Default, got the same dumb question about resetting to User-Default, answered yes, and fortunately things were reset to Legacy Defaults and not the User Defaults. OK, so am I having a senior moment here or does the Confirmation window have the wrong words on it and should read Reset all colors to the Legacy-Default setting? instead of the erroneous Reset all colors to the User-Default setting? You'll note that the confirmation window actually asks both questions at the same time but I've got a one-track mind so I get easily confused.

You are not doing anything wrong. There is a known problem recorded in our system for export of a focus group. Spouses are not included in the export, even though they are part of the group. To get all the correct people in the export tag all the people in the focus group then export the tagged people to the GEDCOM. Export of a group of tagged records will include the spouses.

RE: [LegacyUG] gedcoms
Barton, Just to make sure that a bug hadn't crept in I did this in my own file and everything worked exactly like I expected. So here is what I want you to do. Close Legacy, reboot your computer and then open Legacy back up. Now do a check/repair on your file. Select File File Maintenance Check Repair. Click Proceed. If an error is found select No so that the check/repair will continue. If there are errors found, run the check repair again until there are no errors. If there are any errors that Legacy can't clear automatically, look at the log file that is generated and it will give you the information you need to clear the errors manually. Try the gedcom again and if it doesn't work this time I want you to send an email to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com Put Attn: Michele in the subject line. Make a backup of your file, data portion only, leave the other boxes unchecked. Attach that backup file to the email that you send. As soon as I am done looking at your file to see if I can figure out what is going on I will delete it off of my computer permanently. In the email tell me that your starting person is George D.

Re: [LegacyUG] Add an individual person
In Legacy you can create web pages and, if ipage allows you to upload your own web page files, you can upload those web page files to your ipage site using a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. You will need some knowledge of web page HTML language to create the links on your ipage home page to the Legacy created files you upload. Without knowledge of the limitations and capability provided by an ipage site I cannot give you more details.
