Re: [LegacyUG] Wide red line under name on family view

2017-08-17 Thread Lucy Abbott

Thank you, was working on my cousins family file and she must have used a diff 
color then I use and it threw me.  Thanks for the reminder on how to change the 
fields on family view.  So simple should have guessed.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to query in 7.5

2017-08-17 Thread Cathy Pinner

Well I thought she wanted relatives. But if not, you just do it for the 
whole Name List.

Still works.

Anyway have had a private email from Patricia thanking me and that she 
found what she wanted.


Re the Relationship settings to 999 - unless you've got very complex 
multiple lines of descent from multiple people - as in the royal 
genealogies/medieval genealogies, as I think you do, it's a waste of 
time to set it so high.
Set relationships doesn't give you non-blood relationships beyond 
immediate in-laws. The Relationship Calculator does.

CE WOOD 
Friday, 18 August 2017 1:04 AM

Method two won't work either if you have a large file, because not 
everyone in a large file is related. The poster wanted to know about 
everyone in the file, not just relatives. Even though you can set 
Blood relationships to 999, you can set Non-blood relationships to 
only 10.

Patricia,

There are two ways you could do it in Legacy 7.5.
1. Customise the Index columns in Index View to include Age at Death 
and then scan the column.

This obviously isn't the best way if you have a large file.
2. Make a search list of the relevant people - eg Set Relationships to 
your uncle and then search for Individual - Relationship - equal to - 
Related.
Then in the Search list use Print and customise to include Age at 
Death and instead of previewing or printing, use the option to save to 
CSV. This file can be opened in a Spreadsheet program. There you can 
sort on the Age at Death column.


As Linda says, there are some statistics available in 8 but this isn't 
in 7.

Finding persons died under age 15
SELECT IDIR, BirthD, DeathD, DateValue(Mid([BirthD],5,2) & "/" &

I do this just to make the next query easier to read.

If you look at birth year before 1927 AND death year is blank then
you'd get all the people who are still alive and 90+. It would
also pick up all those people who don't have a death date entered
yet because it isn't known. It would miss those born before 1927
and lived 90+ years before dying.

The person has to be born in 1926 or earlier and either still be
alive (no death date) or they died after they turned 90 (death
year minus birth year).

Since age is a calculated amount and I don't know how to do that
in Legacy, you might have to do a separate search for:
1) those who were born before 1927 and are still alive (death date
blank)
2) then for each year before 1927
birthdate before 1926 AND deathdate after 2016
birthdate before 1925 AND deathdate after 2015... etc

You can customize the Family View by placing your pointer over the area
where the headers Birth, Death, etc are and right clicking. A Customize

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicate marriages

And just to throw another reason for two marriages out there...my

home to their families and had a real wedding a month later with the pastor
and all the families.  I have both the marriage licenses and returns.
Reportedly they never told her mother, who would have been horribly
