RE: [LegacyUG] default 4-part location - city, county, state, country
Not sure why so many people are hung up on the 4 part location convention. Legacy isn’t! Legacy offers a 9 part location. You can include anything you’d like from 0-9 parts. Legacy doesn’t care. If you want to be able to sort, then you do need to have some sort of consistency with your locations. Legacy doesn’t have anything that I know of that DEPENDS on the 4 part location. It is however the standard way for genealogists to enter locations in the US and thus is the general way locations are discussed and typically how they are shown in examples.

You would think they would NOT, because there are so many reasons why so many of us don't use it--even within the US. ? --Paula Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] Census event question
Hi, You need to take it one step further. There is also an address field available for each EVENT, available through the address (house) icon next to the event name. This is different from the “place” entry line. The address field icon is where I capture street addresses and leave the place address to be city, county, state, country. HOWEVER, you can place the complete address in the ‘place’ line. It can hold/sort up to 9 fields. (i.e. city, county, state, country is 4. You can have up to 9 separated by commas.) I do know that if you place the street address in the ‘place’ field it will map down to the house. I don’t do much mapping so not sure how Legacy handles maps for the EVENT address field. There’s no right/wrong way to do record addresses. It just depends on what you want your output to be.

Normally I put population schedule (or slave, or mortality or agriculture etc) in that blank. Geoff leave that field blank. If I put the actual address in the description will the program pick it up? The version 8 mapping feature is supposed to map all the way down to the address but I don’t know what field the address is supposed to be in.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree 8 Revealed - Sources
However, Elizabeth Shown Mills did discuss her new process map at NGS this year and it was in her syllabus and of course Thomas Jones published Mastering Genealogical Proof this year as well. Jones' book details the use of these new categories and I was informed that they will be included in ESM's newest edition of Evidence whenever it gets published. It would be nice to have these new categories included from the get-go since they have been published and accepted in the genealogical community.

Derivative sources—material produced by copying an original or manipulating its content; e.g., abstracts, compilations, databases, extracts, transcripts, translations, and authored works such as historical monographs or family histories. In her categories authored works are just a subset of derivative. Likewise she does not use Undetermined for Information either.
