Re: [LegacyUG] Unique identifier

Why on earth not use the unique identifier provided by Legacy - the RIN. 


I'm with you Jenny and have done it this way for ages now, the only 
issue is you must be aware never to overwrite or alter the current RINs 
& heaps of backups too of course.


For Census Sourcing, I use 12345-1871Census.jpg then I use the same 
format for Birth, Baptism & Death sourcing.

For marriage I use the MRIN & identify it as 12456-MRIN.

It works for me, but of course once decided on this course of action 
it's (in my case) probably too hard to change it.


Each to their own I suppose.

Oops, my apologies to the List, I spoke too soon.

The resurrection to full speed didn't last that long; I should've 
waited a day or so !
The upgrade to 9.0.0.449 went well of course, and I'm grateful to 
Support for the Upgrade, but I must confess it still takes 30 seconds to 
load.

Just woken up Jenny on this side of the pond, and I've heard back from 
Tech Support.


They are well aware of the problem, and one of their own staff has had 
the issue, but so far the Developers can't reproduce it. They are doing 
everything 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.

[LegacyUG] Legacy slow to start

[David Cripps]

Hi Everybody,


I have a strange issue with a brand new Desktop computer, wherein Legacy 
itself might take 20-30 seconds to load at first start of the day.
It's quite disconcerting when it happens, especially as this machine 
should be (and is) an absolute flyer.



My old desktop clunker was getting a bit long in the tooth, so the guts 
of my upgrade is:



13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz
Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB, M.2 NVMe
32 GB RAM
Windows 11 Home, Ver. 23H2, 64 bit
Legacy 9.0.0.443 with 10,000 names

I'm reaching out to see what others think of this, and I wondering the 
obvious simple thing, like, is it an issue of a lack of memory ? Should 
I double it to 64 GB ? Or make the RAM larger ?


The re-install of Legacy went fine, and without issue, and I continue to 
carry on my research, do backups, and the odd bit of editing. As I said 
after the first start of Legacy, all's well, and I can work away all day 
if I like.


I thought there might be a slim chance this issue has been dealt with 
before and resolved by a simple tweak, so I'd love to hear the technical 
types throw their solutions my way.




Many thanks
David Cripps in Tasmania

[LegacyUG] Finding all Cousins

[David Cripps]

I'm interested in producing a report that might show all my cousins.

I note I can go Reports >> Other Reports >> Relationship Report  then 
produce a CSV file and load that into a spreadsheet.
The previous answer from archives suggests I then sort the relationship 
column; the trouble being I'm not much of a spreadsheet guru, and that 
answer was a few years ago now.


I'm wondering if there's a better, perhaps easier way of doing this please?

Oh, I'm using Legacy 9.0.0.414

Sorry if this is trolling over old ground for some folks.


Thanks

If you are in General Notes and you press control + F, you can find 
key words you are searching for. It is far more convenient and 
effective than using Search and Replace, especially when you are 
checking or searching for information but not wanting to replace 
words. Has this feature been commonly known to Legacy users? Perhaps 
some others will benefit from this tip.


I use General Notes for my family history stories or biographies, and 
some individuals have 30 – 50 pages each, so my “discovery” is a Godsend.


Thank you John, like you I've been using Legacy for ages, and didn't 
know of this either; It works in notes within Events as well which suits 
me for biographic notes.


Now all I've gotta do is remember it !


Thanks for the tip

[LegacyUG] Can't install latest update

[David Cripps]

Reaching out for some advice, since I can't install the version 
9.0.0.412 update.


Now I have Win10 64 bit running and Legacy 9.0.0.393 is running 
perfectly, but I decided to grab the latest update as I normally do, and 
did that by going from Legacy Home >> Updates ( Download and install now)


During the install I get an error that says: "Could not load the DLL 
library" "C:\Windows\User32.DLL" "The specified Module could not be found."


I should also mention that I have Norton 360 installed, so I right 
clicked the Norton icon in the task bar and disabled "Auto Protect" and 
"Firewall" and tried the install again, but the same error reappeared.


I'm suspecting Norton of course, but not sure how to tackle it and 
wonder of others have already solved it and could advice me please.



Many thanks

[LegacyUG] Simple install question

[David Cripps]

It's many years since I've needed to download the Standard version of 
Legacy, but have just done so to post of to a friend, along with some 
data files and source info on a DVD.


When they click Legacy9Setup.exe on their computer, will it install 
without a prompt for a password ? In the old days a password was used, 
but can't recall what it was, sorry.


Just trying to avoid a few niggling issues when they try and install.

As an aside, I noticed in the first email from Legacy to assist in 
Downloading and installing for the first time etc, the link supplied: 
http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/category/12/0/10/Install-Uninstall/ 
doesn't work.



Thanks

Yes you can leave a field blank when doing a detailed search. It's 
quite useful to find everyone with a birth place you search for

Individual / birth place / not equal to /  [leave blank]

However, David Cripps,  this won't work with a Source as the sources 
aren't connected in this way to individuals.





Just for the record, I did thank Cathy, but forgot to do so on the List.

[LegacyUG] Detailed Searching errors

[David Cripps]

Hello Everyone,


I'm using Legacy 9.0.0.384 on a Win 10 Pro system (to be exact Build 
19041.vb_release.191206-1406) 64 bit.


Being pedantic, I wanted to know if I had any people with the CRIPPS 
surname, who died in Tasmania, without any Source for that death.


So I used a Detailed Search with the following parameters:

Individual >> Death Place >> Contains >> Tasmania
2nd condition   AND
Individual >> Source-Master Source >> Contains >> [left this blank]

I had selected "Clear List before this search," and I clicked "Create List."

A fairly straightforward query I would've thought.

The list didn't appear, except I received quite a few dialog boxes that said

ERROR
INDIVIDUAL '4661' was not found

The RIN number cycled through about 20 different numbers before the 
search closed.


I just wondered if I've stumbled on to something, or perhaps I've 
out-smarted myself and the last criteria is simply finding all people 
who have no Master Sources created ?


Interestingly, I wrote down a few of those RIN numbers as the dialog 
boxes scrolled through, and none of them are used RIN numbers within Legacy.


I did a File Maintenance, after doing a Backup, and did a:
Check/Repair
List Cleanup
Compact Family File

I think the Check/Repair only found one minor error, but the errors 
still reoccurred.


I apologise if this problem has been dealt with in the past, but the 
errors did alarm me quite a bit.



Many thanks
David Cripps in Tasmania

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting children - twins

[David Turley]

Legacy has a function that allows you to change the order of children. With
the family involved open in Family view, right click in the list of
children and select Childrens Settings from the drop down menu. Doing so
should bring up a screen that has the word ORDER in the lower right-hand
corner with two arrows to the right of the word, Highlight either twin and
select either arrow to move the twin to the order you want them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding DNA results to Legacy

Thanks Elizabeth, and yes I do have the mtDNA certificate, however no 
where on that certificate for example does it mention, name or give a 
location number. For instance under HVR1 it gives 16298C and 16362C but 
am I to assume that 16298C is Location 1 simply because it's named first ?



These numbers and letters are what you load into Legacy.
However, it is important to understand that Legacy does not provide you with
any means of using this data to sort out matches etc - it is simply a place
to record what tests have been done etc.


Yes, I'd assumed as much, and perhaps that's why I've not bothered with 
it for a long while.




If you are looking for a program that will enable you to download and
compare DNA results with those of others, then there are a few specialist
programs that will allow you to do this.


I've used DNAPainter, however I confess to being a new-comer, although 
the chromosome comparisons I understand, and I'm waiting to see some of 
my remoter Cripps cousins get their Autosomal results back in to see if 
we share a common and distinct chromosome.


THank you Elizabeth, I appreciate the reply.

Getting late here, so any replies of mine will be to'morrow now.

[LegacyUG] Adding DNA results to Legacy

[David Cripps]

This sounds like a terribly newbie type question, but how, practically 
do I add my DNA results to Legacy within Legacy 9.0.0.368 ?


I realise, I must go from the Individual's Information Screen >> then 
DNA Records, then add the specific test from the appropriate company.


Okay, let's assume I want to add my MtDNA results from FTDNA, for which 
I can see is the Maternal Test I need to add.   The sections are marked 
HVR1, HVR2 & HVR3, for which each column is marked "Location 1," 
Location 2," etc etc.


My question is where do I find for example Location 1's result (and the 
rest), since in FTDNA I can see no mention of this, at least for MtDNA 
records.


I'm not explaining this too well am I ?  So is there an explanatory 
video from Legacy on this please ?


My memory might be failing me now, but I seem to recall there was a way 
to copy and paste your results into Legacy, at least for the Y DNA results ?


Thanks - David

One of the best can't-do-without free programs is IrfanView.  It's a
graphic editor and opens all graphic files including PDFs.  Download it
along with its add-ons, then use it to open your PDFs and save them as
JPG or whatever.  It will also handle multiple page PDFs. It's also
great to join files together, such as back and front scans of photos or
multiple pages of documents.  They can be joined horizontally or
vertically using "panorama image".

I'm a bit late to the party Gary, but I do the following from Win10:

(1) I most gratefully use a blindingly fast backup App called Bvckup 2
Pro, and do a general backup of say Legacy and anything else from my
Primary HD to the secondary drive.

(2) Bvckup 2 Pro has an amazing feature where you can run a batch file
after the program has finished.  I use this feature to copy Legacy stuff
to two external drives, my Google Drive, and one USB 3.0 key.

Couldn't be happier to be honest.

Hope this helps others.

Just a question if you don't mind Henry.
I only have what's supposed to be a 12 Mbps connection, which is made up
of about 11.2 Mbps Download & only 0.84 Mbps Upload.
I only have a fraction of the number of individuals compared to you, yet
my backup to Google Drive, several external HDs, & one high speed USB
does take quite a few minutes to complete.

What is your connection speed please?

You see I'm already paying $70/month for this basic service in Australia
and as it suits my purpose I'm reluctant to pay more.

I might be swaying a bit off topic here, but my slow speed has dissuaded
me really from using the inbuilt Legacy Cloud Backup, so I use my own
batch file to handle the backups.

I jealously watch those on 100 Mbps of course, but for me that's only a
dream.

Thanks

I concur with Cathy's comments Ronald, but have you thought of contacting the Database's owner?

Perhaps when creating the Gedcom for this Worldconnect database a choice was made not to include source information, yet privately they may indeed exist, something the author might choose to share with you.  Failing that of course, you'll have to track them down yourself.

[LegacyUG] Uninstalling an older version of Legacy

[David Cripps]

I have an older version of Legacy (version 8.0.0.596) on a much older small 
netbook computer.

Going overseas soon and wanted to remove all trace of the program before I go, 
but am getting an error when I try and uninstall.
I'm told "Could not open Install.Log file."

The computer is running Windows XP Home at the moment.

The thing is that old, I only need it to send and receive emails and browse for 
hotels when convenient.

Deleting the data files etc is no problem of course, but I want to remove the 
program too if possible.

Just wondered if a solution is apparent to anyone ?

[David Fisher]

Hi
Didn’t know that about web pages but understand that now.
Am capable of coding an event to play the video. Pointed it back to vimeo. 
Already done and working.
Prefer to load the avi without all the vimeo adverts myself and code so it can 
be viewed on the web.
This I will work out.

My reason for viewing is I have a lot of family interviews which I would like 
to view in the media folder.

Half the problem I will remedy myself, the other half I cannot get right.
Support has requested copy of the avi file.
Hopefully they will advise
Regards
dave

Web pages and all reports will not include anything except pictures.

Other media such as your video will have to added to the web page coding 
by you so they can be played from the web page or opened by clicking on 
a link. If you are familiar with coding web pages you can edit the 
Legacy created file to add your own linking and coding to make the avi 
file play.

The only thing that is a Legacy problem is your inability to open the 
.avi file from the person's or event's media gallery depending on where 
you have it linked.

Re: [LegacyUG] video media

[David Fisher]

Hi all
Tried everything. Just can’t get it to work.
Changed the convertor
Changed the media player to VLC

Video file shows up in media folder as a film reel icon
Just won’t open on double click or options tab- play

When you try and open in both methods the icon disappears. Only comes back 
(icon) when you close and reopen.
Shows it is in the media folder again ready to be selected.

Tried to attach to an event. Created web pages and the event is named but does 
not show the attached avi file.
Found it was not in the media folder so put it in myself
Repeated the above web page creation.
No luck
Very frustrated.

Is there a setting to link the player to legacy?
An options button or setting somewhere?


Anyone have a suggestion to get this right

Regards
dave

Re: [LegacyUG] video media

[David Fisher]

Hi
I think my problem may be my convertor
Originally it was a mp4 (vimeo)file that i converted first to avi and tested. 
No luck

Now trying another convertor. May change to something simple such as mpg.file

I already have coded a button to open vimeo in an event, but i would like to 
use legacy. 
I will let you know if i get it right

dave

Re: [LegacyUG] video media

[David Fisher]

Hi Cris



The avi is situated on my desktop. Plays perfectly on windows media player.

I open media folder, select video.

The load video file opens and the icon video for the .avi file shows.

I select it and the file name appears in the box , and i make sure the file 
type is video files*avi. Is selected.



Select that opens a box with 2x options

1- copy the folder and link it to there no avi logo in the media folder



Try

2- leave the file there and link it to there. Avi is shown in the media folder 
(icon with a film reel)



Double click to open and nothing plays



Hope this helps you help me?

Regards

dave

This also seems to be the correct method and I am using 9.0.0.282. Per se,

Hi

 Normally, you would only do that if the children were adopted or
otherwise, and legally, part of the family, and not just step-siblings.

 The risk is that, without an explanation, they might be regarded as
part of the family when they actually are not. If you do it, make sure
that there is an event to explain it and set the relationship to parents
and child status to a suitable, or new, explanation.

Hello Group, this is my first post.  I have been using version 9.0 for a while 
although not very often.  I am running into an issue I hope
someone can assist with.  My sister's daughter married a man with two children 
from a previous marriage.  The kids are listed as
1/2's under the new couple's Family screen but under the Descendants list for 
my sister the children do not appear.  Have been all
over the program trying to figure it out, thus my post.  Any help appreciated.

I was pleased to see your response, I was wondering what to do next.

Should I put my hand up to test run the beta version, or just sit on my
hands for the upcoming fix ?

If the fix isn't that far away then I'd be content to wait, however I've
just stumbled across a like minded researcher in the UK, who is
researching the exact same family, and after many years it is
frustrating to not be able to send off a Family Group sheet.


Thanks anyway Cathy

Dave Cripps

[LegacyUG] Cannot create Family Group Report

[David Cripps]

I've just upgraded to version 9.0.0.269 and after all these years using
Legacy I have my first problems with the program.


I want to create a Family Group sheet and after clicking Create Pdf I
get an error stating: /Individual "4091" not Found.  /I just checked,
and there is no RIN 4091 at all in my database, and more importantly
none with this number in the Group Sheet I want to create. Then another
Error: /Marriage not Found/. 

Thinking I'd do a File Maintenance >> Check/Repair and it found nothing,
then trying the same Family Group generation again, I get the same error
result, and the Report won't generate.

I've done a potential problems report, and nothing there about a problem
with RINs !

As far as the error /Marriage not Found,/ from what I can see it
concerns MRIN 4317 and to the best of my knowledge I can see no issue
with the marriage entry, and the MRIN displays correctly at the bottom
of the screen.

My first thought is that I want to ditch 9.0.0.269 and go back one
previous version, so could someone please tell me where I can download
this, and is it a simple step of just installing over this newer version ?


Thanks

David in Hobart

[LegacyUG] Legacy and Mac

Just curious: Does anyone know if there is a planned version of Legacy that 
will run under macOS?

I love Legacy but having to fire up Parallels and Windows 10 every time I want 
to use it is a real pain.

That’s why I’m leaning more toward using Ancestral Quest. Although it’s a 
Windows program, Incline Software wraps it in a customized version of WINE (or 
Crossover, I can’t tell which). So it runs “natively” on my iMac.

Hi Paul,fyi   -   I am not grouching, just pointing out issues for
correction of a better product.  I was notified by the development staff
that the issue has not been fixed and they have not determined a fix.  I am
a fan of Legacy, however there is always room for improvement

[LegacyUG] Images in Reports

[David Cripps]

I have some images provided/scanned for me from a UK museum, the
agreement being of course that they are for my own private use only, for
which I happily agreed.  Six months ago I needed to use one of these
images to help the research and a published website promoting WW1
soldiers from Surrey.  Naturally I sought and received copyright
permission from that museum, and the Surrey researchers in turn
correctly attributed the photograph, so all was well.

My dilemma now is that I've been asked by another museum if I could
provide further reports (Family or Individual) on other members of that
same family, for which I will need further copyright permission. 

So my questions are I guess:

(1) I notice in Chart Reports >> Individual Chart >> Report Options >>
Pictures >> Set Regular Picture Options >> Inline Pictures the "Include
Caption" choice is greyed out, which is perhaps planned for future
releases. This option would've been ideal for words such as "Supplied
courtesy of Surrey Museum,"  to appear as the caption directly under
that image.  I wondered if the Legacy folk reading this might know when
this option might appear in future releases please ?

(2) Is there a way to correctly attribute a photograph in a generated
PDF report from Legacy ?

(3) Just wondered how other users source their own photographs apart
from the Caption, Date & Notes when first adding the image I mean ?


Thanks

Dave Cripps

I like it, thanks Cathy.

Yes I admit I did get a bit over excited in the use of these tags, but
I've learnt my lesson I think.

Thanks for your logical thinking.

Hi Cathy, [This time I'll hit Reply All instead of Reply]


Sorry I should've continued to explain.

I need one Individual Report, no trouble with that, but at the moment I
have one Event, amongst many many others, but this one particular event
is a personal Letter sent in 1916, and this obviously is marked private,
and I don't ever want it exported.

I'm being lazy here I know, but for this person I've marked every event
as Private, as it ensures the research stays with me.   Easy I thought,
just untag all the events privacy tag, mark this letter event as private
and then do the Report without choosing to export Private material.

The Sources don't worry me that much, as the Report is going to a
Museum, so they'll w ant to know how I know; It's only this one event I
want to stop.

So if my explanation has got any better, I wondered does Legacy allow me
to remove private tags from events in a kind of a Search & Replace ?

Cheers

[LegacyUG] Removing Event Private Tags

[David Cripps]

I'm using 9.0.0.26 version of Legacy, and I have a person with a large
number of events, all of which have the Private Tag turned on.

I've done this to make sure my events don't get exported when I do
Gedcoms, but I have a need temporarily to turn all these tags off, just
for this one person.

Yes I know I can do this manually myself and I've had need to do that in
the past, but I wondered is there a faster way of doing this; A bit more
automatic shall we say, easier on the fingers & eyes ?


Thanks everyone

[LegacyUG] have been unable to get location mapping function to work

[David Paine]

I have downloaded and installed Legacy 9.0.0.226.

I have tried unsuccessfully on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

I have downloaded and installed the geodata file.

Internet is permanently online.

I have been unable to view maps (neither by using “Map My Family” nor from the 
Location master list) with my own gedcom imports and with the sample legacy 
file.

If I select the master list “Geo-code” button and then select “geo-code all 
un-resolved locations through Bing Maps”, I receive the message “Bing Maps has 
not finished loading yet.  Geo-coding of all locations is not available until 
the map is loaded.”

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[David Trussell]

So, no.

I also have have the “Mac version” of Ancestral Quest which is running on a 
customized and optimized WINE (or Crossover, I can’t tell).

Not knowing the particulars, maybe this would be an option??

I’m just getting tired of switching to Parallels to use LFT. But thanks for 
your answer.

To a large degree that will depend on whether the Legacy developers and

The current version, and those earlier, are based on Visual Basic v6, which

will stop supporting it, as that would break a large number of applications, 
including those developed and used by major businesses.

Conversion to the current Visual Basic .NET is possible, but it is not

A very good question Henk, and I'll keep an eye on the replies.

I'm tempted to say that most of us have information that wouldn't be the
remotest bit interesting to anyone outside of our own families, but then
of course I started thinking about all those events that I've marked
"Private," and that yes I suppose I have several things I'd like to
remain private.
I'm not paranoid, but I believe if you want true privacy, then only 
User based encryption software will do it for you, and no I don't use or
need such a feature. Having said that, quite some years ago I did ask
the legacy folks if it might be possible to have encryption available
for some Events, rather than relying on the tick to make it private, or
the Open and closed [ ] brackets; My argument then was that people can
still open the file and read the contents.

I've not used the Legacy Cloud feature, favouring instead to use my own
Google Drive backup routine that has been working well for several
years, so I'm content to combine that with a couple of other backups and
settle with that.

Then of course if a foreign government wanted your information and had
the resources to tackle that task, what could we as average folks
actually do about it ?

 Jay,

If some of your data is missing, the most likely thing is that you've opened a 
different file.

The idea of bringing in data from a gedcom backup from 2004 sounds silly if the 
data was there recently. What's wrong with the last Legacy backup?

Very very occasionally there are clashes with other programs that can cause a 
list to look empty apparently. I've not seen this myself. Some get it on some 
lists with TeamViewer running. 

The other reason data goes missing is that for some reason you delete it or it 
was Private data and you exported to a new file without overriding Privacy 
settings.

Would appreciate other Legacy users checking your current file to see 
if you are missing events for person number one (RIN number one) in 
your file. And other people. Also watch for other missing data.

I hope to check newer backups to see about when the data disappeared. 
Can not do today.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Program for Macintosh Computer - When?

[David Trussell]

I also use Ancestral Quest on my Mac. It’s a Windows program, but it’s wrapped 
in a customized version of WINE. It runs as if it was a native Mac app.

Perhaps Legacy could take a page out of Incline Software’s book?

Also, if one must switch to a native Mac app, some would consider Reunion to be 
the best. No interface to FamilyTree/FamilySearch, though.

[LegacyUG] GEDCOM photos not found by Legacy

[David Delker]

I'm new to Legacy and am still "test driving" the free Standard Edition to
see if purchasing the Deluxe edition is worthwhile. I exported a GEDCOM file
from MyHeritage (including all photos) and have loaded that file into
Legacy. Unfortunately, Legacy tells me that links to my 1677 photos "cannot
be found" and the "resynchronization" process does not yield any results.
Legacy tells me that the missing files have long, cryptic names such as this
one:

 

500736_695959jb14475i41a28c50.jpg

 

Can anyone tell me how to proceed to connect my missing photos that are
embedded in the GEDCOM file?

 

Thanks!

[LegacyUG] Maps not showing on master location list

[David Bilow]

I am running Ver 9, build 198. Went to turn on maps in the master 
location list by placing a check mark in the appropriate box. No map for 
any of the locations in my list. I have checked both internet access and 
that the check mark is visible in the box and that I have selected a 
viable location. This has worked in the past but has been unused by me 
for some time. Has there been a change and the option is gone? If not 
what and where must I configure this option. Thank for any help.

Re: [LegacyUG] How best to record less common name formats into my Legacy program

[David Turley]

I too have ancestors with uncommon names from that period. I have treated
them as surnames and have not had any problems with them not being
recognized on websites such as FamilySearch. As to the use of Fitz in a
name, my sources do not indicate "illegitimate birth", rather simply "son
of".

They were my first thoughts too Ian, and I was mollified a bit by
Legacy's new posting at:
http://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2017/08/legacy-family-tree-has-a-new-home-with-myheritage.html

My concern is that at aged 64 years, I want legacy to still be around,
at least into my old age where I can say to my grandchildren, ok here it
is, now it's over to you.

Ancestry's resources easily tops My Heritage, so that is of a major
concern, but then as the above link states, FTM was flogged off to the
Ukraine.   Everything boils down to money I suppose, until we can get
software that'll write itself, but in giving us a healthy discount
(for registered Legacy users), maybe My Heritage is thinking beyond the
dollar.
Ancestry meanwhile is happy to make the money, but doesn't give
discounts to family tree contributors, my chief reason for sticking with
Worldconnect all these years.

I'll be happy to sit back and see what happens; realistically what other
choice do I have.

I'm interested in this topic though.

Re: [LegacyUG] Temple submissions

[David Turley]

Marlyne
Legacy will allow you to print cards with only the Baptisms and
Confirmations.
Go to your list of Reserved Temple Ordinances.
Select the individuals whose ordinances you want printed.by ticking the box
on the left next to their name.
When you have finished selecting the individuals, you will see 3 options
near the top of the screen.
Select Print, then select Print Family Ordinance Cards.
The next screen will allow you to select the ordinances you want printed by
unselecting the ones you DON'T want printed.
You should now see a screen that will show cards with only the Baptism and
Confirmation boxes empty.
Now select Continue.
You should now see a Print Request screen. Select Continue at the bottom.
To print them, select the printer icon on the far right side of the ribbon
at the top.
Now select Print at the bottom left. When you close his screen, you will be
asked whether or not the cards printed.
Good luck

[LegacyUG] Shared Event Sentence Definition

[David Cripps]

Hi Listers,

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, so please forgive me if
that's the case, but I've looked in the Legacy Help, User Guide, and
can't see a real answer to what I want.

Normally I'm not that fussed about generating reports for others and can
handle the Event Definition sentences, well enough to make my reports
presentable shall we say.

However I have a Family Group sheet (PDF), that is important to me, but
the male spouse of the family has quite a few shared events, like
Census, Directory, Memorial and Probate that display perfectly in the
Group Sheet for him, but the Shared Events for his wife and children
need work on the Sentence Definition to make the text look acceptable.  
I can't see how to tackle this, or indeed wonder is it possible to
tackle this within Legacy, without exporting the results to a Word
Processor ?

I can of course do a capture of the incriminating text and paste here,
but that would be a graphic, so not the done thing to be honest.

When Editing the Shared Event for say the wife, I note the existence of
"Sentence Override (specific to this person's role)" and had a play
here, but still the report isn't acceptable.

I mightn't be explaining myself all that well, but wonder if someone
more clued up than myself might twig to what my problem is, or direct me
to more info please?


Many thanks

David Cripps in Tasmania

Hi Ron,

I haven't tried it, but why not try:

View >> Master List >> Location then search for your burial address and
under Options you can choose to tag that list.

Can't see why this shouldn't work for you Ron.

Re: [LegacyUG] V9 Error Code 3045 **SOLVED**

[David Dearth]

Thank you Bob, Robert, Ian, Pete and Cathy!  There's a great group of 
people on this list!

After much experimentation, the problem has been found.  Ian, it appears 
that you were on the right track.  My anti-virus software was the 
culprit.  I am running Webroot SecureAnywhere on all of our computers 
and devices.  This is a popular (I think) program that I originally 
purchased from Best Buy.  This is the first time I have had any kind of 
issue with it since 2009 when we first started using it.

If anyone else is using Webroot and having issues with Legacy, this is 
what I have done...  Open Webroot, then go to Identity Protection 
settings (the gear icon).  There is a tab there for Application 
Protection.  Choose this tab and you will see many of your programs 
listed.  The options are "Protect", "Allow" and "Deny".  Legacy 9 was 
set to "Deny", apparently by default.  I changed it to "Allow", and all 
of my problems disappeared!  I tried many different things to track down 
this problem, starting with the suggestions from you folks.

This one tweak fixed the following problems:

1. Error Code 3045 (not a Legacy error) on exit.
2. Error Code 3045 sometimes on startup.
3. Inability to paste text.  This was a problem that I was not aware of 
at the time of my first post.  I could not paste anything that I copied, 
which I used to do quite routinely. No field, including general notes, 
would accept pasting of any kind.  It just remained blank.
4. Backups not occurring.  Backups are now working beautifully!
...Backup to Legacy Cloud seems to be working now too, but I'm thinking 
that issue may be unrelated??  Just coincidence in timing perhaps.
5. Hints are working extremely well now.  I did not realize before that 
the Hint feature may have been hindered somewhat by this issue. After 
changing this setting in Webroot, I saw orange dots (hints) popping up 
everywhere!  It was not like that before. Just a few here and there.

I am extremely happy with Legacy 9!  Glad I upgraded from 7.5!

Anyone else running Webroot - check your settings!

Thanks a million!

Dave Dearth

Re: [LegacyUG] Data Entry Default Events

[David Picken]

Sherry has drawn a red line and is telling me that I have crossed it by 
mentioning (not promoting, please) a non-Legacy product. I’m sorry about that 
and will try to stay behind the red line in future, although my expectations on 
a user group are certainly somewhat wider than described in the guidelines.

That post was written by me not to hype any other product, but purely to offer 
a possible solution for my fellow users who are not getting the performance 
they need from Legacy, based on my personal experience.

At the risk of being thrown off this list (on World Press Freedom Day of all 
days), just allow me please to mention that the archive of this user group has 
been discussing Unicode and Eastern European language support since at least 
2006, with intentions of porting the software to a platform that supports 
Unicode being given as answers back then and at several times in between.

So now we are 10 years on, support for Unicode did not happen with Legacy9, and 
I guess the move to support Unicode is still „imminent“.
Could it be that users with a serious requirement for Cyrillic, Asian, Middle 
Eastern etc. language support have long moved on to a different product?

Courteously, David

This is a user's group for LEGACY and its add-on programs. This is stated in 
the second sentence of the Legacy User Group Guidelines at 
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp 
<http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp> (the link is on the page where 
you signed up to join the group)

The group was not created to promote other programs or for questions about 
using other programs. It was created for those "how-to" questions when you 
can't find the answers or figure out something

The message about FTM (and your promo for AQ) should have gone off-list.

Think about it - if you were selling Coke products, would you like someone to 
be promoting Pepsi on your website or mailing list??

The programmers are busy programming and don't follow the lists like they used 
to. 

In the Support section of the Legacy Home tab, you can send Support questions 
for technical support and Suggestions for new features or enhancing existing 
ones. Use that form if you wish to suggest Unicode or some other new feature.

Bob,

I think many in the LUG, like me, use Legacy as their main program for building 
their family but also use other programs for the rare things Legacy cannot do. 
As you said, they all have limitations. At the end of the day, all programs are 
merely tools to be used how we want for our own purposes. A mechanic does not 
limit his toolbox to  only one spanner or one screw driver. For my needs, 
Legacy would be as close as possible to perfect, if it had Unicode. 
Unfortunately, just before publishing anything, I need to export my family file 
to RootsMagic. It is not as versatile as Legacy and its interface / screens are 
hard for me to use due to my dyslexia.

If Legacy does everything you want, you are very lucky but please do stop other 
users from helping each other to keep using Legacy by suggesting ways around 
its limitations. Legacy itself advertises supplementary tools such as charting 
and mapping software.

We are here because we want to learn and teach one another how to use Legacy

Izhak,

Family Tree Maker 2017 may have what you want. It is overdue for release 
(release was delayed due to bugs). I have never used it so I do not know if it 
would suit you. Perhaps others in the Legacy User Group can tell you. My 
impression is that it is very versatile. Like you, I really like Legacy but it 
does not have a feature which is very important to me- Unicode. Unfortunately 
for me FTM does not have Unicode either. Maybe you will have better luck.

My understanding is FTM is now fully owned by mackiev.com and independent from 
ancestry.com. These links give some information about it.

Cathy,

Yes.  I am not so proficient in Legacy nomenclature.  I fully understood why 
baptism and burial for which there may be documentation are reasonable 
surrogates for birth and death respectively.

As for my aside about "cause of death", I was surprised by the fifth default 
item in the family view screen.  Why is it so important?  BTW:  RootsMagic 
includes this item (also burial but not christening) in its default 
customizable data entry screen.

It would have been nice if upon the establishment of a new Legacy family file, 
we could be given suggested defaults and an immediate opportunity to substitute 
events.  Yes.  I already know about the issue of reports' templates.  

I mentioned my concerns to Legacy but they did not deem it a priority.

I am looking for a genealogy database program to recommend to collaborating 
relatives. The Master Genealogist, my own primary program, is not suitable.  
Legacy is my primary candidate but  I am still reluctant to recommend it.

Thank you, Cathy, for the clarification.

I would be scared to click on „Auf Standardwerte zurücksetzen“ however, because 
that sounds as if it is going to undo all my personal settings.
It is also not a translation of „Options for Default Settings“.
Maybe it’s a leftover from an earlier release in which you didn’t have this 
function.
My suggestion for a better translation would be: „Standardeinstellungen 
verwalten“.

Cheers, David

If you click the Auf Standardwerte zurücksetzen  (Reset to Standard Values),
you'll find the other options.

English users also have to click the button "Options for Default Settings" to 
see them. I guess the German translators wanted to emphasise that this button 
accessed Reset options.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tip of the Day

[David Picken]

Hi,

I have just installed Legacy9 and wanted to apply the trick described below.

I am using the German version, so maybe there is a translation problem here …

I  assume the Customization screen is the one called „Anpassen“ in German:

At the bottom of that screen I have buttons called:

Speichern (Save), Abbrechen (Cancel), Auf Standardwerte zurücksetzen (Reset to 
Standard Values), Hilfe (Help)

I don’t see anything that resembles „Options for Default Settings“ or „Save 
Current Settings as User Defaults“.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks, David

Here is an extra tip for you.  Sometimes updates will change a few of your 
custom settings which can’t be helped because of programming changes but what 
you can do is open the customization screen and at the bottom click the OPTIONS 
FOR DEFAULT SETTINGS and then SAVE ALL CURRENT SETTINGS AS USER-DEFAULTS.  
After an update you can go back to this screen and choose RESET TO 
USER-DEFAULTS.  If this is an upgrade, these settings won’t include any new 
options that have been added but in an update it should capture everything.  
This is available in version 8 and 9.

Just to share:  I couldn't see the relationships on my family view screen even 
though I had run the tool to set relationships.
 
Then I realized that when I downloaded Version 9, my customized setting had 
reset.  I had white text on a white background!!!
Easily fixed - happy again.  Love Version 9.

Disregard my post entirely Cathy, just call my original post a total
brain fade; I'd like to be more descriptive about my post, but the
Moderator would be a bit touchy I reckon.   Dunno what came over me to
be thinking so outside the square, when I've been with Legacy for s
long, and I should've taken a break and made a cuppa.  As it is, I'm red
faced enough, so I've gone off to serve some penance, and will print
out the new manual and sit down for a read.

Thank you though for one of your very familiar helpful posts Cathy.

Sorry Bob, maybe I didn't express myself properly in the original post;
I don't want to look back, I don't want to keep Legacy 8 at all & I'm
happy to move with the times, it's my current directory naming structure
that concerns me.

[LegacyUG] Legacy 9 default install directory naming structure

[David Cripps]

  
  
Hi Listers,
I've just successfully
  purchased Legacy 9 + the pdf manual & downloaded both.

Before doing the
  install I did a Check/Repair, found all was well, then did a
  check of media paths, and found to my surprise a couple of
  errors, which I've since fixed and double checked.
Yes I've done multiple
  backups to play it safe, but I haven't as yet installed Legacy
  9 !
You see when I view my
  old Legacy8 directory structure in Windows 7, it all hangs off
  C:\Legacy8 and of course all the subdirectories flow downwards
  from this.  My question is this: When I do the install, will
  Legacy 9 install into this same directory ? 

What would my best
  course of action be please ?  Should I change the directory
  name, or just curse my own pedantic nature and wish I'd just
  chosen C:\Legacy to begin with ?


Thanks
Dave Cripps in
  Tasmania

Re: [LegacyUG] V9 Error Code 3045

[David Dearth]

Thank you Robert and Bob... yes I have tried rebooting. I have since 
confirmed that this is indeed a MS Access (which I believe Legacy uses) 
error code and not Legacy's (it is not listed in Legacy's error list 
either). A Google search turned up many hits on this. I will investigate 
further and get back with the group on what I find out.

[LegacyUG] V9 Error Code 3045

[David Dearth]

I have just recently upgraded to Legacy V9 from V7.5.  So far I am loving the 
program.  However, I am getting error 3045 every time I exit.  The exact 
wording is "Backup of Family File has failed.  Error 3045: Could not use 
\Dearth.fdb'; file already in use.  Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN?".  
Answering yes repeatedly results in the same message.  It is set to backup 
everytime I exit.  Of course it is still in use, I am looking at the Legacy 
screen when it is backing up (or trying to back up).

Also, uploading to the Legacy Cloud also fails.  It seems to backup ok, then 
shows 'disconnected' then a failure message.

I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.

Perhaps I am missing something.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [LegacyUG] About Legacy9

[David Picken]

Cathy,

Thanks for responding.

I have no doubt that Legacy9 will be an improvement, but that doesn’t 
necessarily mean that everyone needs to have it. It is not free-of-charge, 
after all.

But your question is not really fair, because if I knew the details I probably 
wouldn’t need to ask the general question.

As I see it, the fact about the new file format is NOT in the advertising 
material, I only picked it up in the user group. That makes me suspicious, to 
put it simply.
I just can’t know what else might be in there that they haven’t talked about 
openly.
And I don’t want to get nasty surprises after using Legacy9 for a couple of 
days or weeks.

The first questions to the Legacy folks would of course be:
Are you going to continue supporting Legacy8 for those who don’t really see the 
need for Legacy9 in their daily activiities?
Is there a termination date set for such support?
And I do have a couple of questions specifically about the format change. Maybe 
you or someone else in the group can answer these:
Will Legacy9 files have a different extension so that we can identify them 
immediately?
If I don’t use new features such as hashtagging, will the new file stay 
compatible to Legacy8?
Can I export from Legacy9 in Legacy8 format (in order to be able to send files 
to people who haven’t changed)?
Again, thanks for writing.
Cheers, David



Am 20170421 um 10:15 schrieb Cathy Pinner <genea...@gmail.com>:

David,

What specifically do you need to know about?
The database has changed to accommodate new features like Hashtags. That's why 
you can't use a Legacy 9 database in Legacy 8.
But the format on screen for old data hasn't changed.

There have been a few tweaks to old features.
eg in Detailed Search, the Where to look list is now alphabetical than in some 
supposed logical order as it had grown so much the logic was lost.
eg you can now opt to see Ancestor Colours on Index View and Name List

The major differences are the new features which are advertised on the web 
pages. I'm not sure what more you want.
I think Same-Sex marriage is missing from Geoff's video on new features. Can't 
think of anything else.

Re: [LegacyUG] About Legacy9

[David Picken]

Thank you, Bob, for the encouraging report.

I thought I had read somewhere in this group that Legacy 9 files would not be 
compatible with Legacy 8.
Is that not the case, then?

If that turns out to be true, I see problems coming up when supporting „casual“ 
users of Legacy, who will not be keen to purchase Legacy 9.

Cheers, David

Hi David,

I've only been using v9 for a couple of days.  There doesn't seem to be a
significant change in v9 other than the advertized items - which I am
beginning to like.  However I have noticed there are also some bugs in V8
that are now fixed in v9. It also seems to load quicker but that is
speculative as mine open very quickly anyway.  I'm thinking they may have
streamlined some of the code.

Thankfully they haven't changed the 'look and feel' of Legacy.  Mine
upgraded with 99% of the old settings.

I'm pleased with the upgrade.

[LegacyUG] Synchronizing Sources for Marriages

[David Picken]

Hello,

I am new here and new to Legacy.

When synchronizing my Legacy file with FamilySearch, I observe that only 
„personal“ source information is included (typically birth & death).
But the sources for marriages (FamilySearch handles these as a relationship and 
not as a person) don’t appear to get synchronized.

Am I doing something wrong or have I simply not found the right function yet?

Many thanks for your help and advice.

Regards,
David

[LegacyUG] Relationship not showing

[David Cripps]

  
  
In Legacy 8 I've
  noticed a niggling issue that bugs me every time I look at the
  Family View screen and notice a relationship not displaying at
  all.
Let's call this person
  Melissa, and I've been corresponding for several years and her
  New York born father quite correctly shows up as my 4th
  Cousin.  The trouble is Melissa shows no relationship at all
  when in fact she should display something !
Dunno how to tackle
  this at all, so anyone with some ideas, I'm all ears.

  I've tried unlinking Melissa and then linking again, but that
  achieved nothing, & ditto also for running a
  Maintenance/Repair on the database.  If it's any sort of a
  clue, her father had two relationships, Melissa being a
  product of the first, and then a second when her father
  provided Melissa with two step-sisters.   The name of the
  first "wife" is unknown, and it's a touchy subject to ask, so
  for the moment I've just called her "Unknown."
I have other 5th
  Cousins in the database showing up without issues, so this has
  me stumped to be honest.


    Fingers crossed.
David Cripps in
  Tasmania

Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group

I also have Ancestral Quest installed on my Mac. It’s still a Windows program 
but it runs under a customized version of Wine for Mac supplied by Incline 
Software, so it appears as a “native” Mac app.

I really wish Legacy Family Tree would do something like that. Or, better yet, 
make a MacOS version of Legacy. I’d like to move away from Parallels Desktop.
