Re: [LegacyUG] sourcing question

[Cathy Pinner]

You don't source Names?
How do you know where you found the name or the name variants?

Yes if it only has the name, then you add the source to the name.
If it had name and birth date, I'd add it to both name and birth date.

The only exceptions for me is if I have a number of better sources for 
the Name already.

don’t input sources into the name field but this seems to make the

Re: [LegacyUG] Version 9 - The Master Genealogist conversion

[Cathy Pinner]

Yes - see File - Import - The Master Genealogist - but it is still 
having a few tweaks.

You could try it and report issues.

I understand that date ranges is one issue. Legacy dates currently 
require the same date elements to be entered both sides of a valid date 
range.

eg bet May 1876 and Jun 1880 is OK but not May 1876 to 1880.

This is probably peripheral to the discussion on Emdash / Endash and Legacy

One source of information that I use a lot is from digitized (Australian) 
newspapers, at Trove. The OCR text usually 
requires correction (human recognition)  and that includes changing Emdash to 
hyphen, inserting spaces, concatenating hyphenated words, etc etc.

But a simple Copy then Paste into a Notes field in Legacy isn't an option for 
me. Stripping the HTML doesn't improve the situation - but that's fine by me.

Routinely, I paste into a plain-text editor set up in a simple Encoding (for PC 
of course) - using an Encoding like Unicode BOM is asking for trouble, I have 
found. Then, I create accurate text but sometimes leave it in newspaper column 
format - or, make it more readable in continuous-text paragraphs.

This process is much lengthier than just changing a few single-symbol bits like

Beautiful.  Thank you.   I fired up the computer in the shop to day and
noticed yet another windows update so this evening I rebooted again here in
the office and voila It seems that Legacy is functioning again.

And Thank you I have now ( actually make that an almost) downloaded the
last 8 load from The earlier Versions page for safe keeping.  I didn't know
that that was there.

I will convert to Nine in a day or so and see how that goes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Emdash rendered '97

[Brian Kelly]

I believe it was first reported for Legacy 8, I do not have the problem 
reporting system open right now to confirm that.


The programmers never say which problems they plan on working on, 
sometimes they even fix a problem but do not update the system. Usually 
because they noticed a problem and fixed it but did not know that a 
problem report on that issue had been submitted and recorded in the 
problem tracking system.

The problem with the Emdash (and also with the Endash) is a known issue.
According to the problem report Legacy is inconsistent in treatment of these
characters. General Notes handle them correctly but most other notes such as
Event notes and source detail text do not. There are also other issues
reported with Emdash and Endash including some which cause Legacy to stop
responding.

My main problem so far with V9 after having converted from v 7.5 (I
skipped v 8) is that in my notes, emdash is rendered as '97. I have
dozens of these in notes obtained from old newspaper transcripts. Is

Re: [LegacyUG] Is there a way to order the RIN column in the Index tab in a file?

[Bob Austen]

Here you would probably look for the largest RIN, unless they have been
reused.

You can also do a Detailed Search:
Search/Detailed Search/Individual/Added date/After(use the date that
you last used the laptop) 
This will show any/all individuals added after the date specified.  You have
to spell out the date, say 15 April 2017. 
If you have been adding more people on your desktop computer since adding
the 'missing person' on your laptop either way is going to be a bit
involved.

If you click in the RIN box at the top of the view the index view will

Go to LegacyFamilyTree.com and you will be on the page to order/download Legacy 
9.0

If it doesn’t come up as the first screen then click on Online Store/Legacy 
Products in the menu bar and select the package that you want to purchase.

 

Bob

Re: [LegacyUG] Is there a way to order the RIN column in the Index tab in a file?

[bobstree2]

You wrote: "I suspect it is a baby I added when I was using
  my laptop away from home".  
A quick look for that person in each copy is a very fast and easy way to 
confirm that.   No sorting and comparing,  no checking RINs. 
If that person exists or is missing in BOTH copies, then you need he more 
difficult process. 
Good luck.

I run legacy 8 on both
  my desktop and laptop.  Recently I looked at the statistics of the
  same family file and there is one more individual on the laptop
  than on the desktop in the family file. I would like to identify
  this individual.  I suspect it is a baby I added when I was using
  my laptop away from home.

  1.  Is there any way to order the RIN numbers in the Index tab
  from lowest to highest rather than alphabetic order since it could
  the highest number RIN.  (I know it could have filled in a vacant
  RIN). 

  2.  Is there any way of dating the last entered individual?

  3.  Is there any other way to identify this individual?

  Help was hard to use to try and find the answer, because I didn't
  know what to search on.

[LegacyUG] About Legacy9

[David Picken]

Is there a list of the major differences between Legacy8 and Legacy9 somewhere?

I mean an honest and complete list that tells me about changing data formats 
and things I need to be aware of, not just the advertising stuff on the home 
page!

Thanks, David

Cathy, I have not seen any comments re Families, does it work with V9?
Mika,

To use Families on your iPad an iPhone, you need to get the app from the store 
and then go to 
http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/
and get the Families Sync program for you computer.
That's what converts and syncs the databases.
It's not automatic.
You'll find more directions and videos on that website.

Ian,

Now that the Legacy web site has been updated to Legacy 9.0 the last 
update to Legacy 8 is now available on the Earlier Versions page here: 
http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00899/. It is no longer 
available from the home page Download Update link but if you look on the 
right you will see the Earlier Versions para with a click here link to

Re: [LegacyUG] New Version 9

[Brian Kelly]

The FAG tools in Legacy will let you get to the memorial for a person 
with a single click as Geoff showed in his demo. All you can do there is 
view the memorial, perform a search etc. that anyone can perform. If you 
want to use the features at FAG that are available to members you will 
still need to sign in to your account. I am not a member of FAG so I do 
not know what "extra" features an account holder has.


The same "rule" applies to the sites like MyHeritage and Find My Past 
which are providing the new Hints service. You can get to the site and 
see what record(s) they found but before they let you view the details 
of those records you need an account and in most cases since these are 
paid sites you need to have a paid subscription that covers the kind of 
records you want to view. FamilySearch also requires you to have an 
account but that site provides free accounts and allows you to view all 
their records without payment.

If you click in the RIN box at the top of the view the index view will

Thanks Henry.  I know I will have lots of questions, but that is great.  I
have not upgraded yet, but certainly plan to do so soon.  I just want a
better handle on everything before I do.  I am not techy by any means, so
if something goes wrong I really need lots of help.  I know I have MANY FAG

Re: [LegacyUG] Farewell, and thanks for all the help

[CE WOOD]

The roll out for version 8 was even worse, but at least it allowed retain 
version 7. 8 is still working out its bugs. We are all their beta-testers.


The Legacy support people on this list are well-versed in earlier versions. 
When you pose a question, just be sure to say which Legacy version and computer 
you are using, and they will help you, as will those of us staying with an 
earlier version that doesn't have the problems doing the tasks we need done.

Re: [LegacyUG] New Version 9

[Henry T. Peterson Jr.]

Margaret

For me that is correct.

I am a beta tester and have testing this feature extensively.

I have nearly 8,000 FAG memorials identified with individual in my database and 
if I click in the icon it goes directly to the memorial for that individual.

 

AND

 

I am always in the edit mode.

I'm not upgrading either. I just got version 8 in November and it seems
that version 9 won't work with my system anyway as I'm still running
Windows Vista. It will be at least a year before I can afford a new

Re: [LegacyUG] Farewell, and thanks for all the help

[JERALDINE M SOCHA]

I too am waiting to upgrade.  Glad I didn't rush to "push the button".  Looks 
like there are bugs to be worked out.

 Steve, I think you will find there are a lot of us who will be staying with

will be back to queries on v7, v8 and v9 in no time at all.
Hope you decide to stay - we need users who refuse to change and we shall still 
need help whatever version we are running!  :(

I don't think I'll be upgrading, as most of the new features do not interest
me, and program bloat tends to make one's computer run slower.

And it seems that most of the traffic here will be about Version 9 from now
on, so it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks to all the helpful people here for help received.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 questions

[Brian Kelly]

If your question on Hashtags has not been answered here is my take on 
their usage.


A Hashtag is a label you can apply to one or many people in your file. 
Once you have given them that label legacy has ways to create lists, 
reports etc. on all the people so labelled.


Say you want to trace all the descendants of your ancestor(s) who came 
over on the Mayflower. Now only one or very few people would have an 
event for their arrival in North America on the Mayflower but by giving 
all their descendants the Hashtag "Mayflower Descendant" you can take 
advantage of the tools legacy provides for finding, listing and 
reporting on people with that Hashtag. In a way it is an extension of 
the current nine numeric tags but now you can have an infinite number of 
hashtags.


So far as I know when Legacy programmers were looking for a name for 
their new feature they borrowed the term from the social networking site 
Twitter. Twitter uses a hashtag (named because they are preceded with 
the hash mark #) as a way to group posts to that site by subject.

When/why would one use a "hashtag" instead of an "event/fact"?  Or would
some things be entered in both places? (putting something in both places
seems like it might be a bit of a pain.)

Why the name "hashtag"?  Doesn't seem very descriptive to me . . . but I
can't think of a better name at the moment.

If I currently have something in an EVENT/FACT in version 8, but it
should really be a HASHTAG - how do I move it?  (I've only downloaded
the free copy of version 9 so far and hashtags are only allowed in the
deluxe version - so I can't experiment/play with them.  Answers to the
above questions may become "obvious" once I have the deluxe version??)

I thought one of the features that was being written into "the next
version" of Legacy (a.k.a. version 9) was same sex marriages.  But, from
what I'm seeing, this still is not allowed.  And I don't see any mention
of it in the "what's new" info.  I'm sure I've seen posts saying the
programmers are working on this feature (or at least looking into it),
but it looks like it still isn't there.  Is there an ETA for this feature?

Thanks,
Bob

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 connecting to Family Search

[Jenny M Benson]

I haven't seen a problem with the Legacy FamilySearch module.


I am having a small problem there, which existed (but I don't know for 
how long) before I upgraded from 8 to 9.


It works fine for people who are already linked to FS or for people for 
whom there is a match in FS but if I add my Legacy person to FS no data 
at all appears on any of the Legacy FS tabs - although the arrows 
indicating the person is matched do appear in the left-hand pane - until 
I click on "I am finished sharing data."


I haven't used Legacy FS much for a few months, but noticed this 
behaviour when I added someone using Legacy 8 a couple of weeks ago. 
Same thing when I added someone from Legacy 9 this morning.


It's possibly some quirk of my particular set up - I can live with it. 
When I get a chance I will try using my laptop.

Steve, I think you will find there are a lot of us who will be staying with
our current version! There is always a lot of chatter when a new version
comes out and I am interested to watch all the comments and problems, which
only reinforces my view to stay with my current version. I am sure if you
stay on it will be back to queries on v7, v8 and v9 in no time at all.

Hope you decide to stay - we need users who refuse to change and we shall
still need help whatever version we are running!  :(

[LegacyUG] Farewell, and thanks for all the help

I think I'll be leaving this list now that Legacy 9 had been released.

I don't think I'll be upgrading, as most of the new features do not interest 
me, and program bloat tends to make one's computer run slower. 

And it seems that most of the traffic here will be about Version 9 from now 
on, so it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks to all the helpful people here for help received.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Update

[Ian Thomas]

Ian Mac -
Call me cautious, but I download each new update and keep it in a folder – in 
case a new release seriously breaks something (this hasn’t happened with Legacy 
FT, but has with other software). Of course these are my download occasions – 
not the date that Millennium released each update.
My file and folder dates (using the proper way to write a date, of course) for 
a few versions -
595: 1/03/2017
596: 25/03/2017
598: 15/04/2017

I missed 597 – possibly away.

Perhaps 19 Apr 2017 is the date you downloaded and updated (Millennium may keep 
track)?

The Windows 10 ‘Creators Update’, which occurred around 11 April (a week ago), 
‘broke’ a couple of features in some programmes including Legacy Family Tree. I 
think this was mentioned a few days ago, in this forum – just checked: the 
availability of a new build that fixed that problem was posted by 
Michele/Support on Friday 14 April.

Win 10 updated with some fancy name I don't remember but it seems that Legacy 8 
is now failing to work properly.   I have no idea if these are related.   The 
sympton that I have and the only one I have tried, is I cannot add a child to 
the parents.  Cntr N  worked and I added the parents but when I try to add a 
child nothing.  Clicking on Click to add a child in Family view does nothing at 
all.
Any Ideas?I can easily switch to 9 but Was hoping to get some work in 
before doing that.
Ian

If I right Cclick on the father, he opens and if I left click on the father it 
does the same thing.
