[LegacyUG] ***SPAM*** RE: ***SPAM*** Re: Question regarding finding undefined event roles

[Andrew Robbie]

OK, need to clarify, since this answer doesn't address my question (I provided 
too much context!):

Performing a File Clean/Repair reports this:
"There are Event record(s) that reference a Role that does not exist:"

Now, how do I find the Event Roles that do not exist?  This is my main question 
for the post here.

My mentioning of Shared Events is just a red herring, I can create, edit, 
delete event roles perfectly, and attach them to primary event's and shared 
events with equal gusto.

I just need some help to FIND Event Roles that are attached to Events that do 
not exist in the Event Role list (as reported by the Clean/Repair report) .

Help! and Thanks !

Andrew

I do not use Share for Census Events, so my list of Event roles for Censuses 
should be the original. It shows "None - leave blank", "Occupant" and 
"Witness"and then "add/edit roles..." so just create "Occupant" or "Witness" if 
you need to, just as you created "spouse", etc.

[LegacyUG] Question regarding finding undefined event roles

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi all,

 

Quick question for those experts out there…

I have defined new roles for census events as in:  Spouse, Son, Daughter, etc.

I also believe that I may have deleted some existing (defaults) Census event 
roles, that were probably still attached to existing shared census events.

How can I find these undefined census event roles?

File Check/Repair only reports, so it knows that I have undefined event roles, 
but no info on how to fix them!

==

There are Event record(s) that reference a Role that does not exist:

 

Many thanks,

Andrew

[LegacyUG] Creating PDF of multiple images - correct page sequence

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi,

 

Thought I’d share this fix for a problem that has been bugging me for some time 
now…

 

So, rather than do a right mouse click on one of the files, then choose Print 
from the context menu…  What you do is use the Print button on the ribbon, like 
this:

 



 

From:  
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/what-order-does-win-10-take-to-print-all-jpg-files/500aac1d-c099-40f1-a5c9-537b9f748c63?page=1

 

Yes. you found out that bug. After doing a select all, if you right-click on 
the 5th file (for example), that file will be passed as the first 
argument/parameter. This clearly is a bug which I noticed few weeks back when 
other poster had a similar problem.

 

Whereas the problem doesn't seem to happen if you use the Print command in the 
ribbon (Share tab).

 

So now, I can get the images saved from records into the PDF in the correct 
sequence.

 

Enjoy, and happy Thanksgiving,

 

Andrew

[LegacyUG] Trying to search on shared event roles

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi everyone,

Hope all are staying safe and well.

Here's what I am trying to do...

I have a lot of old shared census events with roles = 'Household Member'.  I
now use a new census role scheme for where each relationship is named - such
as: spouse, son, daughter, etc. when I create any new census events.

However, now I want to search for the old data (with the old role =
Household Member') to update it to my new role scheme.  Simple, eh?

No, since the only roles shown in the search, event type = Census, roles =
choice of my new roles (like spouse, son, daughter, etc.), but NOT the old
role of 'Household Member' even though it appears in the current choices of
role to use for a census shared event.

Can anyone help me to how I can find a list of people with shared events
with this old role that need updating?

I even tried using Show List in the Edit Role window for Household Member,
but no dice

Suggestions welcome, 

Andrew

Re: [LegacyUG] Place of Death

[Andrew Robbie]

My $0.02…

 

Usually for a lot of death certificates you will find actual death place, and 
if not the person’s usual residence it will state that in the same field.  
Certainly seen that a lot for Canada and Scotland.

 

If the residence info is available, I always use an event = Residence, with “at 
time of death” in the event description, then the date and usual residence 
place.  I use a variation of this when a witness to a death usually has a 
residence noted also.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Search

[Andrew Robbie]

Thanks Jenny.  I was focusing on the Burial Location, which the 'Equal' to
 doesn't seem to work.  Trust me!

The Burial Date equal  is certainly a good step forward.  Thanks a
bunch!

If anyone has figured out a way to search for blank location fields with
Detailed Search, please let me know.  Then I can add an OR Location to this
useful search.

Thanks all,
Andrew

I just got it to work with "Burial Date equal to" and left the last field
completely blank AND "Find A Grave ID not equal to" and left thye last field
completely blank.  I think maybe if you have anyone with a blank burial DATE
but populated burial PLACE (or vice versa) but with a FAG ID and you want to
exclude them, you would need to do 2 searches, but have not tested this.

[LegacyUG] Help with Search

[Andrew Robbie]

Any help appreciated.

 

I bet someone out there knows this answer and has battled as I have with
many, many combinations with incorrect results.

 

I want to find all individuals that have a Find A Grave ID field populated,
but no Burial Date or Location.

 

So: in Detailed Search, I tried this:

 

Find Individual with Find A Grave ID Contains ?

AND

Individual Burial Place Equal ""

 

Doesn't work.  Tried Contains, Not Equal and various character tricks, but
nothing!  Once I get the trick of the "field is blank" then I'm good.  But
how is this done ?

 

I see I could do it with 2 searches, first with Missing Information on
Burial fields, then search for FaG IDs with data.  Just thought 1 search
would be cleanest that I can save and retrieve is much more re-usable.  Then
I can quickly snag the FaG ID and then fill in burial details later (with
this search to give me my to do list).

 

Ideas please?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: [LegacyUG] Anyone know if there is an easy way to configure a single click button that uses replaceable parameters in URL ?

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi Roberta,

 

I appreciate your suggestion, but this ability you outlined affects how you 
‘activate’ or execute an icon on your desktop.  Instead of double clicking a 
desktop icon, you can turn them into icons that only need a single click to 
execute them.  What I am trying to do is within Legacy leverage the replaceable 
parameters e.g. [FirstName] so that I can single click to get to the Ancestry 
(or other) web site with any know data filled in already.

 

Thanks again,

Andrew

Not sure if the following will help.  Like you, I got fed up with double 
clicking all the time and my brother told me how to go about it.

 

1)  type "file explorer" in the search box

 

2)  select "file explorer options"

 

3)  under the "General" tab, select single click, then click on "Apply", then 
OK.

 

Good luck.

Andrew

If you only want to click once then you can only have an icon that will open 
the website rather than set up the search.
Is it so hard to make two clicks instead of setting up the search yourself in 
Ancestry???
The mechanism has been provided to do what you want to do and you're bothered 
about the number of clicks to access it?
You can put the Search Internet onto your My Toolbar by customising your My

Re: [LegacyUG] Anyone know if there is an easy way to configure a single click button that uses replaceable parameters in URL ?

[Andrew Robbie]

Gene Young,

 

With all due respect, I do not need to ask Google how to create a simple URL to 
any Windows taskbar.  Anyway, that is not what I asked...

 

Seems that Legacy has the ability to replace names, dates, etc. into URL 
string.  Great!  Let’s use that feature more, to make it easier for everyone!

 

This is the main place this feature is used (below0, but again 2 clicks 
required…

 



 

Would just like my Ancestry button click to go straight to Ancestry for that 
individual (with names, dates prepopulated in search), not have to click, 
scroll down menu, click again...

  OR 

 

 

BTW - The 'Find A Grave' button does it if you click on the upper part of the 
button (not the lower drop down arrow portion of the icon).



 

 

So why not Ancestry...?

 

Enhancement please?

 

Andrew

Andrew,

 

I can not understand how two clicks is so onerous a chore, however, if you had 
done a Google search for "Pin Website Shortcut to Taskbar in Windows 10"  you 
would have your one click shortcut in the taskbar, available whenever you want 
it, even if you are not running  Legacy at the moment.

 

What you want is not possible in Legacy.

 

To save you the "extra clicks" I am including the link to the directions on how 
to accomlish the above in Edge, Chrome and Firefox.

[Andrew Robbie]

Would love to get to ancestry.com (and other web sites) with a single click
that includes name, dates, etc.

 

I thought this would work.

 



 

But none of the [Parameters] are supported here it appears.

Thanks Jenny, you're a genius, I've never used that feature, so thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Re-naming image files

I just tried to duplicate this with my Legacy v9 (9.0.0.339) and the rename
of a source media file worked fine.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Re-naming image files

 From time to time I needed to change the filename of an image attached to
Source Citations in my Family File and I have always done this by opening
Picture Centre, locating the relevant file and clicking Rename. 
The links to the image from each Source have always been maintained when
using this method.  However, the last 2 or 3 times I needed to do this - all
since the last update, I think - the links have been broken and I have had
to go to each instance of the relevant Citation and re-attach the file.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  And/or is it a known fault that has crept
into Legacy recently?

Re: [LegacyUG] Seems like I have a bad link to an individual via a shared death event, how do I find others?

Thanks Brian.

Follow up question:  is the bug in when the bad link was created (shared death 
event), or when the link is displayed (show media from shared event)?

Want to know if I have many fixes to make, or will everything be simply 'hunky

This is already reported as fixed and should be fixed in the next build. 
The fix has not been tested yet though so the beta test team will have to 
confirm this fix when the next beta test version is issued to the testers.

[LegacyUG] Seems like I have a bad link to an individual via a shared death event, how do I find others?

[Andrew Robbie]

Will try to explain via text only, since if I post with images the
administrator doesn't like the file size.

 

I have a father John (ID # 1) who was witness at his son James' (ID # 2)
death.  I also have media posted against the death of James (a JPG image of
his death record).

 

When I look at the events for John (ID # 1) I see the correct shared event
as 'Death - Witness' with the correct name of son James, date, location.
HOWEVER the icon in the media column when clicked shows a media page for a
random individual (e.g. ID # 27) that actually has no media posted, so the
media page is blank.

 

How could these bad links have been created?  And, how do I find out other
incorrect links like this, so that I may fix them?

 

Images can be posted if administrator permits.

Re: [LegacyUG] Clooz

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi all, hope everyone is safe, in the  bunker and 
staying healthy!

 

Sort of related and wishing to broaden my knowledge, and hopefully others in 
the process…

 

Having delved deeper and deeper into Legacy features over the years, and myself 
doing a single surname global project I’m curious why a document management and 
reference tool (my words, not others) would be required in addition to other 
family history software like Legacy.

 

I’ll take an example and maybe someone can educate me on what Legacy is not 
doing for me…

 

Let’s take an 1851 census record in Scotland, images are not free of charge and 
must use a paid for access method usually.  If I have a family recorded in a 
specific location census record that matches one in Legacy, I would check that 
this is the correct family (given names, ages, locations, occupations, etc.) 
and then add that as a census event in Legacy, with media attached for the URL 
and/or the census record image (imported usually for a local copy).  If there 
were other relatives in the census record (e.g. grand-children or nieces or 
nephews then I would share the event with them also, and change their event 
role to match their family relationship if possible).

 

So, where would Clooz add value to this scenario?  Is there something that 
Legacy and its normal file system access for media (files, images, documents, 
etc.) cannot do?  Or am I missing the whole point here…

 

Thanks,

Andrew

I use Clooz and have since it first was developed. I never used spread sheets 
(I've been collecting info since 1975) I used a colored coded filing system 
where each family got a color and was filed by family name. It took Liz 
Kerstens a while to convince to use a document numbered system. Now I would not 
use anything else.

 

I'll be the first to admit that I don't use the software to it's fullest 
capacity. It has changed over the years. But I use what I need. Yes, it is 
double entry for me but it's worth the extra effort because I no longer have to 
sift through documents to find the one I want. Plus I need to read the document 
not just collect it.

 

This doesn't answer the original question. Try the support on the Clooz web 
site https://clooz.com   . The support is excellent.

In addition to my transfer question, I'm also interested in how useful you find

Legacy yet.  I am noticing, however, that it seems beyond census, the 
application doesn't offer much to catalogue other records (like BMD records) -- 
the "Documents" section is a little sparse on details.

 

So, any perspective on what you find Clooz valuable for--and what you don't--is

Re: [LegacyUG] Local backup error

[Andrew Robbie]

Jenny,

Yes, but now I realize that these steps you referenced don't include other 
(non-Legacy) programs that may have files in the 'Media' directory open!  That 
was causing my backup media ZIP operation to fail.

Would be good since we have lots of non-technical users, to add some 
information against this error message that it can be caused by having media 
files open in other programs (such as document or image viewers).

[LegacyUG] Local backup error

Hi all you family researchers,

 

Hope everyone is using their extra indoor time to benefit their research!

 

Question:  Why does my local back show this error every time?  And where can I 
find more information (log file?) to help diagnose?  Like which file?

 



 

Backup Error: 527, At least one ‘SkippingFile’ event was triggered because an 
error prevented a file form being processed.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] FamilySearch sync data question

I have looked at the family and created a test file using the people in the 
family which Andrew provided.

For the list after Andrew manually added parents to his problem person it 
solved his issue for that person but in the view Andrew provided there were now 
three children with the red chain problem icon.

a. These three children had no equivalent person in the family at
FamilySearch(FS)

b. When clicking on the icon to transfer the child from Legacy to FS the only 
option was to unlink, there was no option to add the person to FS offered.

I have examined the three problem children and in all three cases the person 
with the FSID from Andrew's file has no parents shown at FS.

In conclusion it looks like you cannot add missing parents via Legacy. I am not 
sure if this is a limitation imposed by FS on Legacy through the API which 
controls what Legacy can do to manipulate FS data or is an error in the way 
Legacy has implemented the transfer in the case of missing parents at FS.

To "fix" his problem with the three children he will have to add the missing 
parents to the three children on the FS website just like he manually added 
parents at FS to fix his original problem.

Andrew: I also suggest you send a report to Legacy as a problem report so the 
programmers can examine the difficulty in transferring people when parents are 
missing at FamilySearch but are present in the person's Legacy file.

I have found exactly the same.  The only solution I have come up with is to 
note the FSID(s) of the child(ren) then go to the parents in FS and add the 
child(ren) to the parents.

Very annoying because it makes the process take so much longer.

You have eliminated two of the three possible reasons so by elimination check 
for the third reason "The person is linked to the wrong individual in 
FamilySearch." That becomes the most likely.

 

I just had a case in my own file where my file had different parents for the FS 
person. The parents did not display and had the red chain icon on the My Legacy 
Person side of the screen because of that difference.

 

A careful examination of the sources in my file revealed that I had linked my 
Legacy person to the wrong FS person based on similar names of parents but I 
had added an incorrect spouse from a marriage record. 

Examining the source details for the marriage revealed that the incorrect 
person was born in Ireland according to the marriage source while my person was 
born in Canada.

 

I unlinked my person by deleting the incorrect FSID. A new search found the 
correct FSID so the person is now linked to the correct parents both in my file 
and in FamilySearch.org. I have unlinked the incorrect spouse and children, 
deleted a whole bunch of events which applied to the incorrect person and will 
now have to rebuild the person's family (FS has a different spouse and list of 
children).

[LegacyUG] FamilySearch sync data question

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi all,

 

Hope everyone is staying safely indoors and doing lots of family history stuff! 
 :)

 

 

Question regarding synchronizing children via the Family Search popup dialog.

 

Often, I only have the "Unlink Person" option, and I cannot tell why I cannot 
add that child to the currently displayed family in Family Search.  The tool 
tip text states:

 



 

For this individual:

Doesn’t appear to be any duplicates.  FS states Possible Duplicates (0)

Person has death place and date, so should be considered not living.

The FS-ID is correct in Legacy and in Family Search.  LY6Z-6MR for this example 
above.

 

So why can I not make this link in the Family Search pop up dialog?  E.g. copy 
the child from left hand side (My Legacy Person) to right hand side (Family 
Search Person).

 

Or, maybe the question should be, why is the individual NOT displayed on the 
right hand side (Family Search Person)?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Re: [LegacyUG] Sync with family tree

[Andrew Robbie]

Doug,

 

Also, be aware that a ‘refresh’ of the data you are viewing in Legacy does not 
happen automatically when returning from the FamilySearch dialog.  So, any 
changes made will not be displayed immediately.  A quick ‘change the info’ 
displayed – like click father and then back to son (for example) will show the 
data updated via Family Search.

 

Hope this helps,

Andrew

Can anyone tell me why my legacy does not sync with family search.  I clicked 
on customize then on 1.8 Then clicked sync. Do I have to do something else, it 
was working in the earlier versions I had no problem. My people have the double 
red arrows saying not sync . When I click on them family search opens I make 
all data match then click on I have finished sharing data. When I close family 
search and return to my data the new info is not there. Any suggestions

[LegacyUG] Search config overwritten?

[Andrew Robbie]

I suspect (but no proof) that one of my customized search configurations was
overwritten as part of a recent upgrade.

 

Anyone else experienced this?

 

I use Scotland's People very often, and when I tried to use that Search
(from the Search Internet) today, it used a config that matched OneGreat
Family that I never use.  OneGreatFamily happened to be the search config
just above Scotland's People in my list.

 

Any ideas?  I can easily recreate the config, but just curious how it
changed.

Unless something has been fixed, then the Index view is still broken when BOTH

Would be good to know, since I stopped displaying both in Index view cos I was

Ian,

As Brian says, this is a known bug.
There is another bug in the Name List but the solution to both the bug in the 
Index updating and the bug of the Name list not opening on the right person is 
worked around by either choosing to show both AKAs and Married Names or to show 
neither.

Hi,

For whatever reason I can no longer recall, I began a "new" family file using  
my older family file, meaning it was the same file but different name. I 
obviously then forgot to move to my main family file to continue doing my usual 
inputting of information and where I do all my work. Unknowingly, I kept 
working on this "new" file for 11 days before I switched back to the family 
file I always work with, and the only file I want. I want to move only the 
portion that is new from the new file to the more established file, where I 
should have been inputting information in the first place. I tried many things, 
such as importing the entire "new" file into the established file but with over 
30,000 individuals in my tree, that produced 900,000 duplications to review 
based on the criteria I chose. I tried the help index, read up on tagging and 
hashtags, to no avail. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help,

Gloria

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage

Thanks Chris – very useful.  Good sharing!

Hi

 

On the very bottom line where there are the three people you can specify as 
shortcuts. Double-click on the 1 before the first name - don't think it is the 
right click but my PC is currently down. It will show you the stats and a few 
options. Does not seem to be in the help index, or not obvious.

 

MyHeritage is Israelian, as I recall, and probably started with good European 
links, but has grown to try and match Ancestry.

 

FindMyPast is UK based and good for UK information, and has been extending to 
cover the ex-UK colonies and USA.

 

GenealogyBank seems to be USA only in terms of content.

 

FamilySearch is the LDS site and is very strong on USA and Europe, and growing 
elsewhere, with the target of building a single tree for the world (which 
FindMyPast has also suggested for UK based on users trees).

 

The other sites are obviously Ancestry which good for USA, UK, Europe, Canada, 
Australia and NZ. Genealogist is a UK site and Geneanet is a European site.

 

My biggest issue is that all have some common information and then each have 
different collections of various information, so you need to search through 
many of them, certainly in the UK.

Curious – where exactly is that hints status info? Chris mentioned “right click 
on the 1 button in the bottom right line” – which ‘1’ button on which 
window/view is that on?  Images are appreciated, even if not recommended on 
this forum… :)

 

And regarding these services, who can chime in regarding their usefulness in 
certain regions, periods, etc. of research?  I know mileage may vary based on 
your lineage and study geos/timelines…

 

My take

 

MyHeritage: Seems to be merged/merging with FamilySearch now…

 

FamilySearch: I like the -XXX unique numbering system, and Legacy’s Family 
Search tool (accessed from the D  icon) that helps manage and merge Legacy 
records with Family Search.  I must admit, I don’t see many hits in this 
category anymore, maybe since I have all my FS IDs covered now.  Others’ 
opinions?

 

FindMyPast: Mainly advertises as UK and NAM, but I find most of my hits only 
come from UK.  I need Australia and New Zealand hits also. Anyone got other 
perspectives?

 

GenealogyBank: does show info in config that this is mostly American history 
for past 300 years (this is useful to know before subscribing). I do not 
subscribe to this service currently.  I do find that it shows many hundreds of 
hits, maybe due to simply name match (no dates considered) but are these hits 
useful? Also, no Canada hits despite advertising US and Canada coverage. Anyone 
got any other observations?

 

Thanks,

Andrew ROBBIE

Yes, I asked the question about the speed of Hints appearing or not, after 
I reset my tree to reset the Hints list.

 

The first response was that the Hints list is not the list of individuals 
in the tree, mine was 3,000 vs 11,850, but it is driven by the number of 
individuals that you have opened in the Family or Pedigree views. That has 
become obvious to me over the last couple of weeks and the list is now 4,187 
long.

 

The other response was on the speed in which they are processed. My stats,

My Heritage:   Pending 1655   Waiting 2146   Processed 386

GenealogyBank : Pending 537 Waiting 3056   Processed 595

FindMyPast :Pending 0 Waiting 1 Processed 
4186

 

Pretty well, the FindMyPast responses are immediate, while MyHeritage and 
GenealogyBank are delayed. I was told that MyHeritage has put delays on how 
fast it will process them, presumably as a way of controlling the load on its 
servers. One question is 'what does Waiting mean' - has Legacy flagged it as 
being ready to ask or has it actually been sent but not responded, which would 
ask the question of what happens if the response back is made while Legacy is 
closed and does Legacy reissue the request.

 

Looking at the stats dynamically I can see that both the Waiting and 
Processed values increasing while the Pending is decreasing. In terms of 
responses, while writing this email over 10 minutes, I can see that My Heritage

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage

[Andrew Robbie]

Chris/Cathy/et al,

 

Curious – where exactly is that hints status info? Chris mentioned “right click 
on the 1 button in the bottom right line” – which ‘1’ button on which 
window/view is that on?  Images are appreciated, even if not recommended on 
this forum… :)

 

And regarding these services, who can chime in regarding their usefulness in 
certain regions, periods, etc. of research?  I know mileage may vary based on 
your lineage and study geos/timelines…

 

My take

 

MyHeritage: Seems to be merged/merging with FamilySearch now…

 

FamilySearch: I like the -XXX unique numbering system, and Legacy’s Family 
Search tool (accessed from the D  icon) that helps manage and merge Legacy 
records with Family Search.  I must admit, I don’t see many hits in this 
category anymore, maybe since I have all my FS IDs covered now.  Others’ 
opinions?

 

FindMyPast: Mainly advertises as UK and NAM, but I find most of my hits only 
come from UK.  I need Australia and New Zealand hits also. Anyone got other 
perspectives?

 

GenealogyBank: does show info in config that this is mostly American history 
for past 300 years (this is useful to know before subscribing). I do not 
subscribe to this service currently.  I do find that it shows many hundreds of 
hits, maybe due to simply name match (no dates considered) but are these hits 
useful? Also, no Canada hits despite advertising US and Canada coverage. Anyone 
got any other observations?

 

Thanks,

Andrew ROBBIE

Thank you Cathy for your reply back in July about the slowness of MyHeritage

I guess we all develop our own style for adding census data and ways to make 
sure the information isn't duplicated in reports.

I mainly work with English censuses.
I transcribe the census and put that in the Census Event notes for the head of 
household and for my person of interest if they're not related to the head of 
household. I also put the transcription into the Source Details text so for 
other household members it is readily available by clicking up the source.
I use the Description field for the name of the head of household and the 
relationship to this particular person. For Head of household I leave it blank. 
If someone isn't at home and I can't find them in the census, I leave the Place 
field blank and use the Description to say they weren't home ...
Obviously I've edited the Event Sentences so they make sense given the way I 
use the fields. I occasionally use a Sentence Override if my standard sentence 
doesn't fit the situation - eg for people in institutions whether military, 
hospital, workhouse, ...
I then only add notes to other household members if there is something 
unexpected about their name or age or place of birth.
So in a report the full transcript will only be there once.
Note the census source for the household doesn't need to be changed for each 
person. So it can be added to all relevant fields for all household members 
from the Source Clipboard with a click or two.

Unless your research is always going to be limited to only one country, it is 
really helpful to use the full name whenever possible. 

Throughout the world, the abbreviations used for cities, towns, counties and 
states, and even some countries, can be confusing. I live in Western Australia, 
and the accepted postal address for the state specifies “WA”, but that is 
evidently also an acronym for Washington, as well as Wenatchee, Namibia, 
Warrington [UK], Westford Academy[MA], Westford Academy [Texas], Westminster 
Academy, and so on – all of which could potentially form part of an address.

I agree that using the name at the time of the event is most helpful and other 
information can be added as an alternative, or in notes. 

While it can be frustrating to have to revise one’s ideas and practices, the 
more we conform to the accepted international standard, the easier we make 
things for those we share research with, now or in the future. I started 
genealogy so long ago, I only had boxes and paper files to work with. When the 
time came to enter all the data into a computer, it was really daunting, but I 
managed. As the computer programs became more complex, I have had to keep 
improving my skills and data entry – again, daunting and time-consuming, but 
the brain is being challenged and recording the information is getting easier, 
so I remain grateful:)

If you want to abbreviate then you can always use the short location name to

displayed in main location fields on Family View for example.

[LegacyUG] SourceWriter templates and their detailed info fields and contents

[Andrew Robbie]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to standardize on some more  source references, and am
trying my best to use SourceWriter to it's limits.  But I am struggling to
understand, or find the info on, what detailed information each path through
the create master source wizard process creates different detailed info form
when referencing that master source.  Is there any tutorial or help that
will give me this information?  E.g. see below.

 

Also, related to sources, I was wondering if others struggle with source
formats too, and we could create a library of well used source templates
with all the correct fields already set up for others to simply import?  For
example, the one I am struggling with right now is Scotland Old Parish
Records for Marriages - when I go down the path of Church Records, Online
Images, etc.  I get this detailed info entry form (called Source Detail),
which is not really up to snuff.  Where do I put the OPR reference info for
the parish, for example ?  All I see is Title, and Item of Interest for a
Marriage source?

 



 

So, I'd like to be able to create a nice template for all commonly used
sources that can be exported/imported by all loyal Legacy users.  To save
them experiencing the frustrations I am feeling myself.

 

 

Anyone able to help me?

 

Thanks,

Andrew ROBBIE

One trick I used many Legacy versions ago to duplicate a few different 
individuals probably still works but it may be more complicated than you wish.

 

First, as with all experimentation, make sure you have a good backup of your 
files.

Open a new *empty* Legacy file -- I named mine "empty.fdb"

Then open this "empty.fdb" file in Split View with your family file as the 
second file.

Select your family file and drag and drop the individuals you want duplicated 
over to "empty.fdb".

Select "empty.fdb" file and drag and drop the individuals back to your family 
file.

Do not merge or permit auto-merge to combine them.

 

Obviously, if you wish you can edit or modify those "empty.fdb" records before 
copying them back.

 

Have fun!

Pieces of info belonged to each of the 2 real people.  So I wanted to then choose what to delete in the original and new person definitions.Thanks, AndrewOn Jun 2, 2019 16:19, Ian Macaulay  wrote:It would also be nice to be able to click on a button and have the searched fields made into a new record.I would think it a similar approach to duplication.Ok Perhaps not   :-)But Perhaps if You did a select, save, create new  (Cntr N)  and then Copy Cntr R until data runs out , The majority of Fields would be created in a new Rin.IanIanOn Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 3:07 PM <dwqusc@gmail.com> wrote:This approach seems to work:

Subject: [LegacyUG] Anyone know of a quick way to duplicate an individual?

Hi,

I've been doing a lot of intense updates recently trawling probate records.
One thing I'd love to be able to do quickly when having to split current
information stored against 1 person into 2 separate people (same name, just
a new RIN) is duplicate my current individual record...  I looked for any
such feature but could not find anything.  Any others know how to do this?

Thanks so much,

Andrew ROBBIE

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources: Show List

[Andrew Robbie]

Confirming that shared event with sources will show the source citations
against the shared event for the sharing person, like the Census example
below:

 

The little blue arrow to the left indicates a shared event.

Have these people got any Shared Events?  I think I have been puzzled like
this in the past, then found it was because the Source was attached to
someone from whom an Event was Shared.

Re: [LegacyUG] dates

[Andrew Robbie]

Just adding my perspective here, in the spirit of sharing…

 

For journeys such as ship or plane, you can enter dates in events as 23 Jul 
1896-29 Jul 1896.  That way you can capture departure and arrival information 
all against the same event .  I find that helpful to reduce the number of 
events.  Also, if you use the calendar calculator for dates (like someone’s 
birth date based on aged when died) then the ‘Cal’ prefix can remain indicating 
that it was a calculated date, not a specific date form a specific source 
(useful).

 

Regarding unlinking wrong children/spouses/parents, I use the tags a lot and 
have developed a ‘system’ where each tag means something (to just me).  So when 
I link or unlink individuals, I set/reset tags accordingly:

 

Again, sharing so that others can understand/criticize/encourage/further 
develop/ignore/whatever:

 



 

 

As you can see (and here I am open to further suggestions too) I use individual 
special characters to use as column headings in the Index and Dependent views.  
So, if anyone has better suggestions, please chime in.

 

Happy hunting,

Andrew

Taking up Cathy’s last point, I find that unlinking wrongly-entered or attached 
people is very useful; I often find that the unlinked person does fit in 
somewhere. 

 

(my use of dates is a bit crude: either a precise date, or Abt.  I was unaware 
of the other allowed entry forms)

I don't know if you are trying to add a double date or a range.

If a range, enter 1665-1666 or better use either between 1665 and 1666 or from 
1665 to 1666.
If it's a double date you need the day and month as well and you need to set 
Options-Customise 5.4 and note it can only be set for the one change date.Then 
you enter your date in New Style and for dates from 1 Jan to 24 March, Legacy 
will add the double date.
Yes Legacy will give you a new total but possibly not until you have closed and 
re-opened Legacy. Also make sure you do File Maintenance - Check/Repair and 
sometimes Compact File.
Note the RINs are not changed and whether abandoned RINs are reused depends on 
your setting at Options-Customise 4.4 so don't confuse highest RIN with number 
of people.
I prefer to just unlink people I've added in error. That helps me not to go 
down that rabbit hole again and I haven't lost that work if I discover that 
they fit somewhere else.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible Error

[Andrew Robbie]

This may be a Windows O/S issue, not specific to Legacy.

 

Here is a screen grab of tool tips displayed over one of those Marriage 
windows.  Check if you see the strange behavior in other Windows apps.

For what it's worth, my experience is the same as Brians: tool tips remain 
visible for as long as the pointer is over the button.

I am running Legacy 9, build 295, under Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, version 1803.

I therefore conclude that it may be your computer setup that causes this. I am 
not aware of any Legacy setting that will cause the tool tips to time out. 
There is a setting Options > General section 1.7 that controls how long it 
takes for the hints to pop-up but there is no duration control there. Section 
1.6 also turns the tool tips on or off.

An example can be seen when you move you mouse over the four buttons on in

As the mouse moves onto a button you are presented with a QUICK single 
description of the button (i.e. "Sources").  The time is so quick that you 
need to rescan the button, before you can make out what it says.  Obviously, 
the intent of the box is to show the purpose of the button.  However, the

I have not found anything in the options that appears to correct/improve 
this visual issue.  The same issue is present across all of the various

Is this a common use?  If so, when will it be fixed? 
If not a common issues, does anyone know how to correct the issue?

Re: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know about {}

[Andrew Robbie]

I agree on the display, but not ADDING characters unnecessarily...  Just my 
preference.  Would like a way to choose or remove the characters inserted.  
Especially on column views which are tight already.

 

Example - if Legacy decided to all of a sudden, display names like this
"*Andrew /Milne/ ROBBIE*"   - I'd be unhappy!

 

Equally so for {WGZT-DR4}

 

 

Just my $0.02...

Ian, don't confuse display with content.

 

The content of the field has not changed, just the way the program displays the 
numbers. This is no different that choosing to display surnames in all caps 
even though they are entered in mixed case.

Ian,

 

These curly braces appeared a couple of updates back (IIRC).  They are 
configured here under 8.2:

 



 

You can see mine are set to display FamilySearch ID#s.  You obviously have (or 
the default is) the Find a Grave ID#s…

 

Hope that helps,

Andrew

Why all of a sudden is there brackets around the field FndGrv# in Family View?

Perhaps it is a field I have added , but the brackets are new, unless of course 
the oldtimers is really kicking in.

 

Horrible things look like a 1 and are helping to increase my consumption.
