Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Anne Hildrum]

At the bottom of my screen to the left (on my computer it looks like a 
magnifier) on the computer I have a search field where I can search my whole 
computer for whatever,
if I search there for *.fdb I get a list of all fdb files I have on my computer.

Sarah,
Go back to the article I mentioned before re finding a lost file. Here's
the link again.


It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't seem to be
good at finding your way around your computer, put it in the Legacy
default folder for data where the Sample file is, since you seem able to
find that.   ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder.
Then set Options > Customise 1.2 to open your file automatically.
Save your data backup zips to a Google Drive folder and make sure you
know how to use your data backup with File > Restore File.
In the backup dialogue you will see you can set the folder for backups.

Not so surprising they have problems solving it when it is only some people 
having that problem.


I have an 11 year old Dell computer with 32 Gb Ram and have 63 people in

I do however ran Windows 10.

They are well aware of the problem, and one of their own staff has had the

they can to isolate the problem and fix.
So far there isn't a repair, so for the moment a work around doesn't exist.

But for me, it's only the first start, and after that I'm fine.

Thanks though Jenny for the response.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unmarried Unions

[Anne Hildrum]

I guess it depends on timeframe for the significant other Cindy asked about. 
Labelling the king's ladyfriends mistresses way back may be

quite OK, but I doubt the persons living together today would think that is the 
right way of labelling the women in those

relationships.

I agree with Ian,  that is how I do it.  

 

To tag the female partner as a Mistress gives the partnership a feeling of 
something illegal to be spoken about in hushed tones. In my younger days a 
mistress was " a bit on the side." 

Just my thoughts.

I recommend ALWAYS putting the correct location in, and putting the current

Re: [LegacyUG] Standard to DELUXE

I don't know oif this helps you, but this is what it says under help abouit 
unlocking the DeLuxe version.

 

The next time you start up Legacy, click the Unlock Now button, enter your name 
and password and click the Unlock button.  That's all there is to it. 

 

The problem for me giving any more answer is I do have the Deluxe version so I 
don't get the question when I start Legacy if I want to

Legacy.

TCGR is cheap to buy and a must have as a report writing addition to Legacy 
(for charts, Legacy and it’s Legacy Charting v9 extension are the ones I use). 
Both Legacy and TCGR are amazing programs but because of the richness and 
versatility, both have quite a steep learning curve. Once more or less mastered 
(I still don’t use all features) I find especially Legacy to be very easy and 
smooth to work with. 

 

SourceWriter is my latest discovery…. the question if you want to use the 
SourceWriter templates to enter your new source is a totally redundant question 
and should always be answered with a big and bold YES. (and the program can 
remember your decision…. ). When adding a new Master Source, bookmark the type 
of source you (most) frequently use at that time and select one of your 
bookmarked source types; saves you to scroll through the very rich list of many 
(over 2,500) source templates. Then go to step 2. Very handy and quick and the 
end-result of using the source templates is a beautiful, versatile and 
consistent source list.

One reason is that I have a poor experience of how permanent a URL is. It can

significantly limits the availability.
I have so far downloaded pictures and linked them to my database with reference

But, I now have more than 1000 pictures and especially my backup become very

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

[Anne Hildrum]

I gave up on shared events because Legacy add words to the sentence that I 
don't want to have there.
Whenever I try to use it Legacy it adds words.
An example I add my Goodfather and whatever I do Legacy always adds something.
I woould like to read XX was yys Goodfather or XXs Goodfather was yy, but 
Legacy always add something like XX shared her christening event with YY 
(Goodfather)
If I take out a family group report on YY it will read that YY was XXs 
Goodfather, which is the way I want it. 
I have found no way to get rid of the shared event words in the sentence 
however.
Is there a way?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant book

[Anne Hildrum]

I would advise you to joiun the forum on Legacynorsk:   
http://www.legacynorsk.com/phpbb3/

Basically what you add is what gets out. If you enter a country it will be 
listed. If you write Norge, that is what will get out.

 

In the register over places you can have a long address and a short address, so 
if you want to add a country name, but not having it in reports

you can select to use the short name for reports.

 

A Descennat report is always the descendants of one person therefore just your 
name will be there. Don't think there is any way to change that

other than edit the report.

 

You said you have ticked the pictures to be implemented, but have you also 
ticked add pictures in the file? That is if you are using Legacy9.

That is the second last line on teh same side you say to implement the pictures.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Descendant book

 

 

 Hi, I am new with Legacy 9, norwegian ver., and have some questions:

 

I live in Norway, and hope the country name can be changed to Norge in the 
system, so all names are changed. And I also hope to have the possibility to 
suppress the country name, as I feel this in most cases to be unnecessary 
information.

 

I have made a descendant book for me and my wife, but have found no way to put 
her name besides my name in the front page and later. I regard her as extremely 
important in this context.

 

I made it as PDF-document, but I am not satisfied with the layout and want to 
edit it. But the Adobe Acrobat is very expensive.

I tried the RTF-way, and ticked the pictures to be implemented in the document, 
but there were no pictures. 


Do anyone have a solution for me ?

Thanks in advance, Andreas Søli

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

[Anne Hildrum]

Calculating birth date from death records doesn't get correct results
though. The age given at death might not

mean you get the year of birth correct. It may be off by a year or on
occasions several years.

 

Some church records may be that accurat, but definetely not all.

Brian, are you not basing the date on a calculation? Why not use the term
Calculated instead? If I see the term About, I don't automatically think it
is meant to mean plus or minus a year or two. My experience tells me that
yes, I know it can very often mean plus or minus a year or two, or-- it
could be a wild guess, based on little or no evidence -- we don't have any
way to know what others intend or interpret it to mean. This frustrating
ambiguity could be avoided by using a term that has a more specific meaning.

If the sources give too wide a difference in the age, then I also enter one
or more of them into alternate dates, but they are still calculated dates.
Thank you for pointed out that a death record that gives birth information
in terms of years, months, and days, is still a calculated date. It should
never be taken as better than that, because as we all know, a birth record
is almost always a better source for birth information than what we see on
death records.

By the way, calculating the birth date from death records is made so very
easy using the Legacy Calendar date calculator! Thank you Legacy!  Anyone
not aware of it, and doing genealogical research, is missing something very
helpful and important. Note too, by the way, that when Legacy's Calendar
Calculate feature is used, the resulting date is, thankfully, shown with a
prefix of "Cal", just like it should be. :-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 - date change after latest update

[Anne Hildrum]

Goes to show it is anybodys guess. We obviously use it differently.

 

For me I use about when I have a pretty good idea of when they were born from 
age at death. age in a census

or age at marriage, whereas Estimate I use when I am making a guess on the year.

 

Like I know that a couple have 5 children born between 1725 and 1735, I make a 
guess at when they were born and

that could vary greatly with many years. They could hvae been born 1700, but 
they could also have been born in 1680 and 1690.

Then I make an estimated year to have a year when I am looking for someone in 
my index. If I am looking for someone probably born

in the 18xx, I don't need to look at these who most likley were born in the end 
of 1600.

Everyone seems to have a different idea about the level of credibility to

being a wild guess (which so often turns out to be the case), but I'm not

the term Estimated.
Unfortunately, the term Estimated is sometimes being used for a date when it

do that.

I'm very disappointed that the term Estimated or Est is not included in

Re: [LegacyUG] Hello from MyHeritage + 2 unique offers

[Anne Hildrum]

Well one way is to cancel the subscription, and most likely they will come up 
with a better deal.

I know several people who have done that, and MH wants them back and give them 
a better offer.

Easy - basic economics.

 

The reason that My Heritage is making this special offer is to grow their 
market. They already have subscribers, who, at least the vast majority, don't 
need cossetting to remain. Exisiting customers are unlikely to put themselves 
through the difficulty and time of creating new accounts.

 

The way for My Heritage to make more money is with new customers, not giving 
money away via special deals to existing ones.

Don't miss your chance to get this exclusive low price for Legacy Family Tree 
users! This limited time offer will expire on September 10, 2017! 
* Eligible for new MyHeritage paying subscribers only 

 

It always ticks me off when EXISTING, LOYAL customers are exempt from special 
deals. 

Should I cancel my current subscription and wait until the 9th and sign up for 
this deal? Or should I delete my current MyHeritage account and tree and sign 
up with a new identification

Re: [LegacyUG] Difference between 8 and 9

[Anne Hildrum]

If you managed to take  a copy of you customer number/unlock number for V8 you 
can always

download V8 from Legacy again and then unlock the deluxe again with that number.

You can see the new features on the Legacy website at

http://legacyfamilytree.com/WhatsNew9.asp

Legacy v9 installed over Legacy v8. I think there's a way to go back if you 
don't like v9, but I don't see it in the Knowledge Base - maybe someone else 
can find it.

I just downloaded 9 and before I flip over my files I was wondering if there is 
a list of differences.

A quick glance at the manual does not seem to show any great change.  I do not 
use many of the features and that might be where I fail to see the new stuff.
