Re: [LegacyUG] Hints, Records, Add to FS Data?

[Brian Kelly]

And further to what Michele said. The adding of records to people is 
being done at the FamilySearch site not in your file.


The only way you add data to your file is through a deliberate choice. 
Using the arrows in LFS for example to upload date from your file to 
FamilySearch or for downloading data and sources from Family Search, 
another option is by using copy and paste to transfer whatever you wish. 
I frequently use the FamilySearch hints to manually add a source to my 
file using copy and paste since I do not like the way that LFS adds 
sources and want to control where the sources are linked in my file.

When you get a FamilySearch hint you are taken straight to that person’s
record matching page. FamilySearch is basically asking you, does this
record match your guy?  If it does, you can tell FamilySearch to add
that records to that person with that FSID number on FamilySearch.  You
don’t have to do this but those people who work with the Family Tree on
FamilySearch normally will do this.

Ok Legacy does not provide information from my file to the hint sources.
Why does FamilySearch then ask me if I wish to add each record to a
person in their database? I'm curious as to what exactly is going on
with that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints, Records, Add to FS Data?

[Michele/Support]

The only living people you can see on FamilySearch are ones that you have 
entered yourself.  FamilySearch is  VERY strict about that.  They have probably 
the tightest privacy policy.  My name, date of birth etc. is in FamilySearch.  
I put it there.  If you were to add my name with my date of birth, even though 
it would be a perfect match FamilySearch will not match it.  You will have to 
add me manually and get a new FSID.  This of course creates a duplicate but 
until I die those duplicates can’t be resolved.

FamilySearch is different (in many ways). To get a FamilySearch hint that 
person has to have an FSID entered in Legacy which means you have already 
linked your person to that same person on FamilySearch (that does NOT mean that 
there was actual data transfer in either direction).  When you get a

Re: [LegacyUG] V9 Hinting

[Brian Kelly]

You misunderstand. Hints work by automating the search function for 
those sites. The info Legacy sends out is similar to the data you have 
to manually submit to the site in order to do a search of their records. 
Data on one person at a time is sent in a single transmission, there is 
no giant submission of all the data from your file in one big lump. In 
fact the hint sites also want Legacy to control how often a search is 
performed, that is why in the hint settings you can only set the refresh 
(ie. the time between searches for the same person) time at a minimum of 
30 days.


The benefit of hinting is that Hints submit these search requests and 
accumulate the responses (hits) on your behalf without you having to sit 
at your computer: submitting searches for each person, analyzing each 
screen full of responses and updating your data from those results. 
Hints let you know there is a potential match but you can investigate 
those at your leisure.

Re: [LegacyUG] V9 Hinting

[Michele/Support]

No, you do not have to have uploaded a gedcom to get hints.  You are seeing
hints from other people's trees.  Look at it this way...

You could go to MyHeritage and fill in their search fields, names, dates,
locations, and then MyHeritage will tell you if they have anything in their
databases that matches.  They don't keep the information you entered in
those search fields.  It is the same thing with hinting.  They look at what
you have and then they generate results but they can't collect/keep the data
in your file.  It is all handled by a computer algorithm. 

In the case of MyHeritage you will see two different kinds of hints.  You
will see hints to documents and hints to trees that people have uploaded to
MyHeritage.

MyHeritage does not have access to your data. The only way for your data to
get on MyHeritage is if you upload a gedcom to their website.

Subject: [LegacyUG] V9 Hinting

I'm a little confused about the hinting in V9 and the concerns about
MyHeritate getting and publishing users' data. Is there any way that the
"hinting sites" can use my Legacy database data for their own use?
Put it on their site? Or do they just look at it and suggest hints that only
I see?

(I tried to ask this question-twice-during Geoff's last Webinar but got no
answer.)

[LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

[Michele/Support]

TIP OF THE DAY (Legacy Staff) - IntelliMurder and why it is important

All versions (4+)

 

Tools > Advanced Set Living. We (programmers and staff) affectionately call
this feature "IntelliMurder." It will go through your file and kill off
people that are most assuredly dead. Legacy automatically kills people for
you if you enter a birth date but no death date if they are older than
whatever you have set in Option 2.3. IntelliMurder goes a step further. If
you don't have a birth date it will use the surrounding people and other
information to determine if the person should be dead.

So why is this so important? If you do any sort of export and you use
privacy options to privatize living people you will end up privatizing
people from the 1700s that weren't automatically marked as descended. Also,
if you add people to FamilySearch and they are dead but marked as living no
one can see these people except for you.

I run the IntelliMurder routine from time to time just for fun but I always
run it before I do an export. I just ran it and Legacy killed 11 people in
my file. For example, it killed off Carl Friedrich Gläntzer because he was
married on 01 April 1777 and his kids were born in 1779, 1782, 1785, 1788
and 1791.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 right click delete wife's father or mother bug

[Larry Lachance]

Although I did not submit a “bug” report to anyone, this sounds very similar to 
the “right-click” issue I previously inquired about on this forum. The 
difference being, I wasn’t trying to delete the wife’s father, rather I was 
trying to add a father or mother to the wife OR link to existing parents…

 

For example, using a wife for whom I never had parents before, when I right 
click on the “add father” or “add mother” -  the window that opens is the 
individual view of the person (the wife in this case) I am trying to add the 
parents to.

 

Same issue – if I have the parents’ names already in place and I right click on 
the name of either one, a pop-up allows me to click “edit the father” or “edit 
the mother”.  When clicking on either choice, the individual view for the child 
(again the wife but not either parent) opens for editing purposes.  

 

Can’t help but wonder if this isn’t related somehow.

 

Larry

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 right click delete wife's father or mother bug

 

Version 9 Bug:

 

I'm using version 9.0.0.169 and tried to right click delete a wife's father. 
Result was the husband was deleted instead. I've reproduced the problem with 
the sample database and found if you right click to delete the wife's mother it 
would delete the wife instead. 

 

I've submitted a bug report.
