Re: [LegacyUG] 1935

[Bobby Johnson]

You are looking at a 1940 census record.  One of the questions is asks for
the 1935 residence.  If they lived in the same place as they did in 1940,
the reply is "Same Place".

Hi to my American Legacy Genealogists
Down here in little New Zealand, I have a puzzle you might be able to solve
for me.
When comparing some of my relations with Family Search, I quite often come
across a Residential address "Same Place" This is always for 1935. 
I would like someone to please explain why this occurs.

Regards to all
Trevor

Re: [LegacyUG] Can global edits be made in Legacy?

[Bobby Johnson]

You might want to ask the question “What are the problems with state 
abbreviations?”  I, for one would not recommend this action.  However, if you 
choose to do this, use the master locations list to edit your locations entered 
in location fields.  For those in notes and other places you would need to use 
search and replace.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Can global edits be made in Legacy?

 

This is my first post to the mailing list.

I wish to abbreviate place names in my database and I hope to be able to format 
my individual changes only once and then apply that change to all instances of 
this name in the database.

 

For instance, if I wish to change "Massachusetts" to "MA" in every instance 
that it is found, how would I accomplish this without changing every individual 
instance?

 

Thanks in advance,

Re: [LegacyUG] How do you enter burial place?

[Bobby Johnson]

I don’t understand why you would do this instead of using the “+” at the right 
of the location field in the Individual Info screen and entering the address 
where it should go.

I agree, although I do not place it in its own field at the beginning. I.e.:

 Spokane – Fairmount Cemetery, Spokane, Washington, USA, rather than:

 Fairmount Cemetery, Spokane, Spokane, Washington, USA

 

This adds a new location, but it is sorted with the other locations in that 
city/township.

 

More specific info about the plot can go in notes, events, burial address or 
whatever. Info under the + signs does not show up in many reports. FindAGrave 
info only goes in source citations, as far as I’m concerned.

I put the Cemetery address in the Location field. In fact, all my locations are 
to the exact street address wherever possible.  Why worry about expanding the 
location address file?  I would expect any modern database and computer to cope 
with large files.

I prefer to enter the city where the burial occurs.  I put the cemetery in 
the burial address found in the + plus sign.  Also in the +, burial notes I 
put the plot, if available, the Find A Grave memorial number, and anything 
else pertinent.  I notice a number of people put the cemetery name where the 
burial occurs.  This just expands the location address file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Billion Graves Search

[Bobby Johnson]

OK.  The reason I asked what is not being transferred is to see if you were 
wanting location info included.  Unfortunately locations cannot be used here.  
Perhaps you have a space or an error in the URL you entered.  Here is another 
try at giving you the correct URL

 

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1890veterans 
<http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1890veterans=1=1=3=1=1=ms_db=%5bGivenNames%5d=%5bSurName%5d=_F00027CB|_F00027CB_x=_F00027D8|_F00027D8_x=7t6>

Copy and paste this in the search URL.  It works for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hyphen versus Dash in file names

[Bobby Johnson]

Mike, I agree that the problem is not generated by LFT but it has a tremendous 
effect on LFT when you restore a backup.  The zip program I use  is 7-zip.  
Don't know if it was installed as a part of Win 8 or a factory installed 
program by the computer maker.
Windows is perfectly happy with the dash as you point out but Legacy sure 
doesn’t like it when a file name gets changed and in this case the zip/unzip 
does change the file name.

I was assuming you'd use the File Renamer to replace the dash with the hyphen

If you still have the links, yes you need to use the Picture Centre and go one

[LegacyUG] Hyphen versus Dash in file names

[Bobby Johnson]

I have recently been struggling with a problem with media
files. On many occasions I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to
enter data into legacy. The problem I ran into deals with
file names. As an example:
Census - Bradley County, Tennessee - 1940 - John Doe
is the name of a file I would use. The character between
census and Bradley is a hyphen(ascii 45) as opposed to a
dash(ascii 0150). Using Dragon to dictate this file name, I
would use the word dash which would enter a space before and
after the dash. In doing so everything seemed to work fine
including the file sorting. However, when I backed up the
media files and use the backup file to restore them on
another computer I found many media files missing.

I have discovered that when you zip a file with a dash(ascii
0150) and then unzip the file the dash is returned as a
hyphen. Therefore the file name has changed and LFT cannot
find this media file.

This is a warning for anyone who might for any reason do a
backup with a file name that contains a dash.

One way to stop the enormous amount of messages that have

[LegacyUG] Legacy Media Files in Windows 10

[Bobby Johnson]

I recently upgraded my wife's laptop from windows 7 to
windows 10.  This computer has Legacy 8.0.0.538 installed.
I restored a backup from my laptop (Windows 8.1 and Legacy
8.0.0.538).  Everything worked fine except in the media
area.  Some of the media are missing even though they are in
the proper file location.  That tells me there must be a
filename problem.  An inspection of the missing file names
did not reveal a problem until I went back to the my laptop
and I could see a difference in the length of the "-" used
in some of the file names.  Some were ascii character 45 and
some were ascii 150.  Changing between 45 and 150 on the
windows 8.1 computer did not matter to Legacy.  It still
found the media.
On the windows 10 computer, I changed a missing file name
from ascii 45 to ascii 150 and that media file no longer
showed as missing.
This indicates that Legacy operating under windows 10
interprets the dash and the hyphen differently than Legacy
under other windows OS.
My questions are:
1.  Is the above analysis correct?
2.  How is the best way to fix this problem?
It appears to me that the only way to correct this is to
bite the bullet and change the missing file names one at a
time in the windows 8.1  computer so this problem will not
appear in subsequent restorations.

Yes! Try this. Open up the sample file so you do not miss up your data file. 
Then open the master source list choose any one of the master sources and make 
a change. Now when you save it will ask you if you wanted to apply to all 
places it has been used or do you want to save it to a new source. When you're 
comfortable with this process and you can apply to your main database.

As a refugee from FTM, I'm working hard to understand the Source/Citation 
methods of Legacy.  So far, so good with one exception.



I like to generate a single citation (such as detailed information from a 
census) and use that citation many times for different people and events.  Is 
there, or is there not, a way in Legacy to revise that citation (to correct a 
typo, for example) and have the revision apply to ALL places where the citation 
is used?  I've looked through a number of postings to this list from past years 
and it is still not clear if the feature I'm looking for exists.  The 
equivalent in FTM would be the two choices to either "copy" or "link" a 
citation.  With copied citations, you must edit each occurrence.  With linked 
citations, you can edit any occurrence of the citation and all of them change.



Thanks in advance.

OK!  I thought you were referring to the master source.  If the problem is in 
the citation text then it is change them one at a time or do a search and 
replace by choosing the Citation-text field and carefully each instance of a 
find and accept or reject the change.

Another method would be to copy the source to the clipboard and make the change 
to the clipboard and then remove the current source from each occurrence and 
replace it with the clipboard source.

I should think that when a “Sr.” dies, the “Jr.” merely drops the use of the 
name “Jr.”. Besides, in most cases, the use of the Jr. and Sr. suffixes are 
merely nicknames. In many cases of the use of II and III, those are real legal 
names.



Now for a mind-blowing consideration…..there are many cases in which a child 
was given the legal first name of “Junior” such as “Junior Smith”. Now what 
happens when Junior Smith has a son and names him “Junior Smith”. Do we end up 
with  a Junior, Sr. and a Junior, Jr.? :)

Subject: [LegacyUG] How to combine files



Hi,

I recently purchased a new computer and copied my most recent family file to it 
and then added some information.



Then, without thinking I used my old computer and added some more info to the 
file (the one I had copied to the new computer)-- I added a few new people plus 
I made changes in notes and events of a few people who were already in.

Now, how do I get the new info on my old computer added to the file on my new 
computer??  Is there an easy way to do that???



Pat

RE: [LegacyUG] Search string for Ancestry

[Bobby Johnson]

When you click on the “Customize Searches…” button and then click on “Add” you 
will see a list of terms that you can use in generating a search string.  
[SpouseSurname} is not one of them.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Search string for Ancestry





I am trying to fine tune my Customized Search from Legacy for Ancestry.com

When you are doing a search from an Ancestry page and the Spouse Surname is 
part of the search request, the resulting URL contains
 =[SpouseSurname]

but if I add that info my Legacy Customized search, It doesnt seem to 
recognized the [SpouseSurname] as a variable?

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs 

 
=sfs28_ms_f-2_s=1=1=1=[GivenNames]_x=0=[Surname]_x=0=1=[SpouseSurname]=[StartYear]=[EndYear]=0=rstp=7t6

Is this something that Legacy isnt doing in the background to create the actual 
search request?

Thanks for any help.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to combine files

[Bobby Johnson]

I would recommend that you create a Legacy file and NOT a gedcom.  A gedcom 
will not work as well as a Legacy file.

I would do a search for "Modified Date "  after what ever date you started 
adding again on the old computer.

Tag those records on Tag1 (making sure you first cleared the Tag1)

Then create a gedcom export for all Tag1 Records.

Import that gedcom into your new file.

Double check for any potential duplicates.

Hope that helps

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Census event vs source

[Bobby Johnson]

My earlier comment was intended to be a "tongue in cheek" remark.  I don't 
consider a book or the census as an event.  They are records that provide the 
facts about events and are therefore sources.
If I use the census to indicate a person resided in a town, county, state 
according to the census and also recorded the census as an event then in a time 
line you will see something like this:

Residence in 1910
Census 1910
Residence in 1920
Census 1920
...
Who would want to see this?

Guess we will never agree across the board on this subject'

[LegacyUG] Residence Event sentence override error

[Bobby Johnson]

I am using windows 8.1 and LFT 8.0.509.

When I use the following in the sentence override of the
residence event:

[FirstName] lived [~inPlace] with [HisHer] wife
[WifeFirstName] and their children in [Date].

it results in the following:

Asa lived in , Lawrence County, PA, USA with his wife Asa
and their children in 22 Jun 1852.

Has this been discussed here or has anyone else noticed this
problem?

 The same thing happens with new sources.  It appears to be

RE: [LegacyUG] Mass update surnames

[Bobby Johnson]

Another stab in the dark would be similar to what Paul said but I would think 
that perhaps you added an AKA for John T. and did not enter a surname in the 
surname field when you when you added the a.k.a. James Thomas. Likewise for 
Michael J.

Mike,



What I mean is that, when I generate a surname list showing only the surname 
UNKNOWN, there will be a long list of people in the surname list that follow 
the following format:



UNKNOWN, John Thomas

UNKNOWN, Michael James

etc.

etc.



Then in addition to these persons with unknown surnames, there will be a few 
people with KNOWN surnames and KNOWN given names, in alphabetical order, some 
before the UNKNOWN surnames and some after the UNKNOWN surnames.  In my case, 
there are something like 354 people with surnames listed as UNKNOWN, and three 
people listed before them alphabetically: e.g.:



BAKER, Susan A.

COMSTOCK, Mary Elizabeth

THOMAS, Edward

UNKNOWN, John Thomas

UNKNOWN, Michael James

etc.

etc.



Hope this explains what is happening.

I have a 1910 U.S. Federal Census that states that a mother had born 10 
children, but only 7 were alive at that time.  What would be the best way to 
add the 3 unknown children?



I believe that this will help me to remember that the children existed and to 
search for a birth and death certificate for them and hopefully eventually get 
their names at some point.

You could otherwise add the information in the couple’s marriage notes but it

As long as you are consistent with how many fields you use for each country 
your Master Location List will sort the countries together properly.  For 
example, I use 4 fields for US, I use 3 for Germany, I use 4 for Poland and I 
use 6 for France.   I have no problem with sorting.  Where you run into 
problems is when you are not consistent within a country.



Also, addresses and names of building do not belong in the location field.  
These belong in the address field.

I believe you may be talking about the name list. If that is the case, then you

Check to see which of the 6 tabs you have selected.

upgrading, that part of the screen is completely blank - and totally 
frustrating.



I have been right through the Options, but can't find a way to get that 
information back into the 'Detail' of the individual.  There is no problem with 
the other five tabs - Edit, Events, Notes, Family etc.  Working on a very large 
database, I rely a lot on that detail field.



How do I get it back?



Thanks for any help.

 the side then the report will show the duration of the event
 in that. The time line column in the reports will also show the
 lifespan of family even though only the date of birth is

[Bobby Johnson]

Paula,

In the early days of computerized genealogy a tiny tafel was used to match one 
family with another. It uses a combination of surnames and Soundex along with 
some dates to match one family tree to another. See the following Wikipedia 
article:

You need to include a copy of the Legacy program on the cd so it can be

this on the Legacy web site at one time.  I don’t know if it is still there.

Hello, All,

It may be late to do for this Holiday Season, but in the past, I have ordered 
the basic CD's from Legacy to include with genealogy CD's because some of my 
relatives either do not have internet access or will not download from it.  The 
CD's are only $1 from the store (

such a small price for me to give peace of mind to some of the older folk.

Just a suggestion.

[LegacyUG] Update Problem

[Bobby Johnson]

I have a problem with updates.  Every time I do an update my
media are all missing.  I have to go to 6.2 and reset my
default path for each of my family files.  I choose to put
my media for each family file into a subfolder under media
with the same name as the family file they belong to.
Example my Smith family file would go in C:.Media/Smith.
My Johnson would go into C:.Media/Johnson.  6.2 is a
(ff) and not (gbl).  Should this be happening?

RE: [LegacyUG] Update Problem

[Bobby Johnson]

Michelle and Paul,

I have my default media file paths set as indicated in my email and as Paul has 
surmised. Immediately upon update the/Smith and the/Johnson in the family files 
is missing and ends up with media/. It seems that when I update the default 
path to my media is reset to the installation default. I don't believe this 
should happen since 6.2 has the default path labeled as a family file (FF). 
That is why I have the/Smith and/Johnson etc. added to the end of the default 
path setting. And Paul you are correct, the only thing I need to do is to reset 
the default path after upgrading. Not that big a problem but I don't believe it 
should be happening this way.



If I left the media path set as the default when installed and linked all the 
media using that as the default I'm sure that my media would be there after 
updating even though they are in subfolders. However there are places within 
legacy that uses the default path to find your media files. For example, when I 
need to cite a source and click on the cite a source button, legacy opens 
the windows browser to the default path and makes it easier to find your master 
sources. So you wind up with a choice of relinking your media after each update 
or living with additional steps to find your sources when working with them.



Thanks for responding.

Bobby





Bobby,



No, I don't think that should be happening.



After the update, what path is in 6.2? From your note, I assume that pre-update 
in your Smith family file, 6.2 said C:.Media/Smith. What does it say 
immediately post update? And, then do I understand that in order to 'find' your 
media again, all you need to do is update 6.2, you don't need to do any 
relinking?



I always thought that 6.2 had absolutely nothing to do with existing links. The 
only time I thought it mattered was 1) when you are adding new media it would 
send you to that folder first to look for the media item (although you navigate 
to any other folder once in the add media dialogue), or if you were using the 
media re-linker (although I will say nothing about that because I have never 
used it).

Yes it's interesting to say the least. I normally update using the legacy home

Hi again Bobby,



It’s interesting that your system behaves differently than mine. In your case, 
the value in 6.2 is changed to a new value, in mine the value (which is not the 
default) remains as previously set. (This is what you want as well, you are 
quite happy to retain your 6.2 settings).



I’m wondering if the reason might be how the update is done. I am doing it from 
the “Legacy Home” tab updates box on the right where it shows you installed 
version, current version and gives you the option to update. Is that how you 
are updating, or are you doing it some other way? It’s pure speculation, but 
can’t one download the update from Legacy’s website and then install. Maybe 
that method does more a ‘basic’ or “clean” install and sets parameters such as 
6.2 to defaults?

 There is no auto check setting for checking on updates.
 There is an option on the Legacy Home tab under Options 
 Options  Internet Options tab to Allow Legacy to connect
 to the internet

 If that's selected, it *should* show the update when you
 open Legacy but sometimes it doesn't happen right away.
 Also, if you leave Legacy running for a long time, it doesn't
 necessarily update quickly.

 You can click on the Updates heading to check as well.

RE: [LegacyUG] TMG looking for new home Legacy vs RootsMagic 7

[Bobby Johnson]

Ancestry.com does not have a color capability for its family trees. Here is 
what one of its users came up with to overcome this lack of capability. In the 
individual picture area, she used a blank colored background for a picture. 
This is a method that could be used in Legacy. One could make the preferred 
picture a colored background and it would be visible on the family view and the 
pedigree view.



The limitation I see here would be searching. There is no capability to search 
using the preferred picture as a parameter



I personally would not like this method because I would prefer to see a 
headshot of the individual on the family view and pedigree view instead of a 
color blotch. However, it might work for someone who is primarily interested in 
showing DNA proven lineages.

Okay please bear with me on these color questions, as my mind is trained in TMG 
:) We now have to think outside the box.  I have bought both Legacy and Roots 
Magic 7 and playing with the features.



Below CE Wood said I can use 8 colors.  If I pick a person/ancestor and color 
code him, say red, will it go down that particular line and color code all the 
descendents?  (Even if I had to do manually, I’d do it. It would be worth it) 
The system isn’t going to know if it’s my ancestor, is it?  That’s all I need 
to do, just pick 8 people and give them a color.  What am I missing in doing 
this function.  If I can do this, then all is good.  I actually needed 9 colors 
but I can adjust a line.



If that can be done, where are the instructions to do the coloring?  I tried to 
do color a person but nothing happened.  I tried it on a couple of people but 
they all stayed the same color blue, that system used when you input a person.  
Or would it not work because it wasn’t my ancestor line but again how is the 
computer going to know who my ancestor is anyways.



I do like Legacy a bit more over RM7 because it operates/look more like Windows.



OMG all this binary talk, I’m lost on that.  I’d probably have to attend a 
class to figure that one out.



Hopefully someone can explain this to me, as to why I can’t just pick 8 people.



Tks again

[LegacyUG] Source detail labeled do not scroll with data field

I'm using Windows 8.1 and legacy 454.
Today I attempted to add a source to the source clipboard
using the blue arrow in the individual information screen. I
filled the information into the 1st few fields of the
details and when I tried to scroll down to the last two
fields the labels did not scroll. I seem to recall that an
earlier problem was reported where these labels did not show
at all. That problem was reported as fixed in 454. Has the
problem of the labels not scrolling been reported?

It is really not too difficult to understand why this needs to be fixed. As Ron 
pointed out there is no safety net.  One wrong button and the information is 
corrupted. There are currently 3 ways to exit the individual information 
window. (1) the red X. (2) save. (3) cancel. Either method 1 or method 2 will 
change the modified date. At some point you will use the wrong method. When you

 I really don't understand why people want to change the
 way the modified date works. With all the Windows files it is
 the same (except for some database files). If you open the
 file, don't make any changes and save close the files, the old
 file date stays, but if you say: save, even if you didn't make
 any changes, the file date will change to the current date
 and time. And that's the way the modified date works.

RE: [LegacyUG] Document Genetic Matches

[Bobby Johnson]

Ron, I'm finding it difficult to imagine how your system actually works. It 
seems to be a rather long and labor-intensive method to accomplish this task. 
As I said in my original post, I'm looking to design a fact for each of the 
individuals in the lineage between the two donors using that fact to display 
the exact path of the match. I am running out of tag numbers to use your method 
requires three available tag numbers. This is fine and one would have to find a 
method to manage tag numbers so he can use this method. It does provide some 
food for thought and I am going to look at it some more.



Thanks much for your response.

I track DNA participants in my Legacy database.  What I have found useful is to 
create master sources for each testing company like: Ancestry DNA 
Participant; FTDNA Participant; SMGF Participant; etc.  Then I cite the 
appropriate DNA master source for each individual that has been tested.  Once 
all participants have the DNA master sources linked, then I use Show List for 
those master sources and set Tag1.  Next I set Tag2 for all descendants of a 
given ancestor.  Finally, I search for everyone that has Tag1 and Tag2.  Those 
are the descendants that share DNA with the common ancestor.



If I want to show a chart of how all the DNA participants are descended from 
the common ancestor, I use Tag1 to build a Focus Group consisting of every 
participant and his ancestry.  Then use the SearchFindMiscellaneousFocus 
Group to find all the ancestors of all the participants.  Tag3 the results.  
Now those with Tag2 and Tag3 are the lines you want for the chart of DNA 
descendants.

I think we could argue Personal Knowledge or Interview and be as correct as 
you can be using either of these.  As was pointed out to me offline, it was 
more of an announcement.  I chose Personal Knowledge because I did not 
interview the first time grandmother when she called but copied the information 
on a scratch pad.  As any grandmother would do, she gave the time, weight, 
length and name along with a description of who the baby favored. 
Perhaps a template Announcement should be added.

 show up when I study my data and am trying to fit clues together as to who
 Timothy's parents or brothers are.  Am I correct in thinking that it is not

Oh thank you so much, Ron, for thinking of us users!

There are so many websites that do not, and it is incredibly frustrating and 
time-consuming when RINs are renumbered. Not only must we users now search for 
a person each time we use that website, but we must search our own database(s) 
and change each source citation that used URLs from that website.

Having several hundred thousand source citations (not all the offending 
websites, DG), my life is no longer long enough to do that, so I change only 
those for persons I am reviewing or adding and notice the offending website in 
the sources. That is enough of a pain.

In 50 years, I have accumulated many sources, more now because primary and 
truly reliable secondary sources (IPMs, CP, etc.) are available on the 
internet. More URLs, though..

 Why do you renumber the RINs.

 In over 24 years I have never renumbered my RINs. Indeed to do so would 
 change the URLs for all my pedigree web pages which uses them as the file

 messing up search engine returns.

 Sorry but I do not agree with your implication that do to do is good practice.

RE: [LegacyUG] Child Gender

[Bobby Johnson]

In version  8 you may add a child of unknown gender by right clicking in the 
children area of Family view.  You may select “Add a child of unknown gender” 
or “Add a sibling of unknown gender” depending on where you right clicked.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Child Gender



Is it possible to add a child without indicating gender?  I know this couple 
had a child but that is all I know right now.  I would like to add the child to 
the database but it looks like I must choose male or female.

[LegacyUG] Update Problems

[Bobby Johnson]

After viewing several posts on this list indicating a new update was
available, I clicked on the Legacy Home tab.  Here it indicated that 414
was the latest build.  This is the second time a new update was not been
correctly identified here.  By clicking on the Update header above the
message that I have the latest build the Check for Updates window opened.
I was able to update from there without going to the Update web page and
downloading the file.
After completing the update I had over 6000 media files missing.  The
relinker quickly fixed this problem.
The Startup family was also changed.
I can't seem to get a handle on what might have caused these problems.
Anyone have suggestions as to how to avoid this in the future?
Bobby

RE: [LegacyUG] Update Problems

[Bobby Johnson]

Cathy,
The update was on the server but did not trigger my program that it was 
available.  This shouldn't happen no matter where the program is installed or 
where the family file is located.  The program and data are in the default 
locations and 1.2 is set to open the last family file opened.  The strange 
thing is that this is the second time it has happened to me and not in 
consecutive updates.  The last time was early in the version 8 history.  If no 
one else has this problem it must be with my setup.  Everything is in the 
default locations and nothing strange about my data.  Can't put my finger on 
what could be causing this.
Thanks for your ideas.

Bobby

 Hi Bobby,

 To see a new update on the Legacy Home Tab you have to have started Legacy
 after the update is on the server.

 The other problems you had seem very strange.

 Are you sure it opened the same file you'd been working on and not another
 copy?

 Where is the program installed?
 Where is your file?
 What setting do you have at Option 1.2?

 Cathy
