Re: [LegacyUG] Same Sex Partnerships/Marriages
I do not record relationships of couples who do not marry. I also do not record all know "best friends" or "pets" or anything else except for Church recognized marriages. If you want that, that is your option. From the studies that I have seen and from all of the rare same-sex pairs that I have known, same-sex relationships typically are not "life-long". Not everyone wants Legacy to make this possible, but it sounds like they might have with the below info. I support them in not adding this as a feature. Legacy hears from the few who want it far more often than those of us who are grateful for it not being there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering rural addresses into the location field
If there was no designation then and the best I can do is the current township, then I use that. I try to get as specific as I can based on whatever information I have. You can also put something in the notes or in an event of Residence or something else more appropriate. Details don't have to be in the location field.

Re: [LegacyUG] With Legacy: Carbonite, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Mozy, etc.?
I use Dropbox with other relatives. We let each other know when we are working on a line. We download the master of the line, work on it, make a copy in our computer, and re-upload. Then anyone else has to download the master. It takes cooperation and communication, but it works for us.

Re: [LegacyUG] If this is find-a-fault week --
I have wanted to know the number of people by given name if it were easy to figure out. We have so many Abraham's and Daniel's, etc. and it would be great to list in our family history book the top 5 or 10 names by century or something. For those of us doing books on our families, it might be helpful. I have found that the non-genealogists in the family really like the charts and graphs of info that we can provide to them whether they are easily produced by Legacy or not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8
Oh my! Then we would have genealogists asking relatives for every single boyfriend or girlfriend they ever dated. It's really not relevant nor do some older people remember all of that info. Marriage is what matters because there is documentation, women having name changes, and children being born from that "relationship." If we are going to get morality and our cultural back to what it should be, we cannot have genealogists leading the way to solidify other types of relationships. We also cannot have people forcing software companies to deteriorate their convictions or programming to meet those needs. What will come next? Some kind of requests to list every pet that someone owned and have some special classification for that? You know there are people out there who would be on board with that. Plenty have disagreed on this matter on this list, but someone has to speak up in defense of the other side so no opposing responses are necessary.

Re: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8
Some of us don't worry about what century we are in. If the couple had children but never married, we can click that option in the marriage box. However, I don't record any live-in situations just like I don't record every friend that people have or every conflict of friendships that people have. I am just following blood lines and appreciate Legacy not changing from what we already have. It is flexible enough for me. If someone is printing a report, they can truthfully customize it further in there.

In this situation you have a marriage created even if the marriage event and Family View show nothing. Look at the Individual Edit Page. At the bottom it should say "This individual never married and had no children." If it is grayed out, then you recorded a marriage somehow. In the Family View, the Spouse Icon under the person's name will be lit. Go into that Spouse Icon and look for the marriage(s) that are there. Highlight the marriage(s) and click Delete on the right side of that box. This will allow you to click on "This individual never married and had no children" if you need to. I've had to do this numbers of times over the years. It's easy enough to fix.

[LegacyUG] Legacy 8 sorting marriages
I know Legacy 7.5 very well, but I haven't noticed that the Potential Problems report mentions that marriages are not sorted chronologically. It can tell this for children, but one of our cousins mentioned this to me this evening. I'm wondering if that would be possible to pick up in Legacy 8.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8
Maybe the programmers looked at the features of TMG to see if any would be good to include if possible. I don't like FTM or RM at all. Too cluttered and I cannot figure out how to do reports as I'd like in those programs. I do like the function of Legacy and sometimes have a hard time thinking of any possible improvements, but I know there are some that would continue to make it the dream software compared to the rest.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 Revealed
The new screens are not that freshened up. The more modern look is to have rounded corners on boxes which these screens do not. Well, not except for the inner boxes in the one default view possibility. But the outer boxes do not have that. I like the set up, but I really don't like the gray shadows on the blue default view. Maybe it will look better once it's done. God bless, Ellen On Jun 10, 2013, at 6:12 PM, Ronald Bernier wrote: > Thank you for the preview Geoff.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
David, we do have separate documents. Some are very small for the One-Guy lines. However, some are hundreds of pages with hundreds of photos. I'm not techie with this, but I know that the file size was 400,000+ and Word 2010 would not respond unless we switched from an .rtf to a Word 97/2003 .doc. That made the file size smaller. We aren't sure how to put 25 different Legacy reports and our introduction together into a single document so that the pagination will work out. I have been thinking of going the route of the Publisher in Legacy, but none of the webinars promote that. There are multi-line reports, but that is within the same Legacy file. We have each immigrant in a separate file because of genealogists for a century identifying each line by a letter. It's been easier that way to be sure we are dealing with the proper lettered line to have them separated. I don't know though if Legacy will let us do a book in the Publisher with saving from multiple family files. So far my attempts have not worked with that. I LOVE Legacy in every way except for this final stage of publication.

Cheryl, the User IDs are working fine. We just didn't want to have to delete MRINs that we pre-selected not to print.

[LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
We are nearing the end of preparation of a book series on the family. It will be over 2500 pages and cover 23 different immigrant lines. However, we are noticing that photos only show up in the RTFs in the computer where we are initiating the reports. We cannot see photos in RTFs or DOCs that we load and bring back from Dropbox or from documents loaded onto a thumbdrive. It doesn't matter if we are doing this on the same or a different computer. We have check marked the option to embed photos, but it isn't working. We have hundreds of photos, have made zillions of modifications in the reports and cannot go back and rerun reports anymore. What other options can we do now? What other options can we do in the future? We found that we cannot use Word 2010 to do the reports because the files are way too large and Word stops responding and saving. We have to use Word 2003 or 2007. It would be nice for Legacy 8 to come out and upgrade to the newer Word. It doesn't matter if we are going between Word versions or using the same one. Would someone either respond publicly or privately to me. We are supposed to send the 23 lines and introduction to the publisher by the end of this week. Also we noticed that despite the fact that we checked to only include User ID numbers, the MRINS are showing up in the reports anyway. We have spent TONS of hours just removing the MRINs alone. Any idea how to get them not to show up in the reports?

[LegacyUG] .rtf v .docx
I don't recall if this was mentioned before, but we are preparing to do a book on various lines of the family. We have been working with the smaller lines first and gradually going to the larger lines. I finally got to a line that is 41 pages long and had a number of photos included. While working on that line in an RTF, Microsoft Word kept not responding and I had to start over numbers of times. I finally converted the document to a .docx file. In .rtf it was 468,000+ KB and went down to 150 KB as a .docx. I'm using Legacy's full and current version in Word 2010. When uploading to Dropbox or opening on any computer including the one it was created on, no photos or scanned documents show up. It only shows up on the version saved in my computer. Questions: Why did Word stop responding in .rft? Did I have to resave it in .docx? Should I have done something different? Will I have to resave all bigger documents in .docx instead of .rtf? Any other suggestions? Will I have to give it to a publisher on a disc or thumbdrive? How large of a document can I work with in Word? I have some lines that will be 700+ pages and a whole lot of photos and scanned documents.

Re: [LegacyUG] Organization of Photos, Scanned Documents and etc.
Subfolders work well for me too because I have documents, databases, and other info in those folders. Photos of graves, death certificates, scan of obituaries can all go in one folder. Wedding and anniversary photos, marriage documents, and newspaper scans of engagements, weddings, and anniversaries can all go in the marriage folder. It makes it easier to locate for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Indiv "never married" option unavailable
Did you check the spouse icon to see if it is lit up? Did you go into that icon to see if an spouse Unknown is listed there? It is possible that you clicked on the spouse's box at some point and closed it without entering info. Or you might have opened a box to enter a child accidentally which could have put a default possible husband in the icon area without listing the person in the spouse box. Either way, by going into the spouse icon, you can see if someone is there and delete that spouse to light up the box you want to check.

Re: [LegacyUG] Indiv "never married" option unavailable
Pat, somehow an unknown spouse must be in there. Go to the spouse icon for the individual. You will probably find "Unknown" as a spouse. Click on that spouse and then Delete on the right side of the spouse listing screen. You will then find the option lit up to select never married and never had any children.

Re: [LegacyUG] Future updates
Legacy is amazing as it is, but it would be great to have a new look. I just hope it's basically the same as now and not cluttered like FTM or Root Magic. The last person on my team of family researchers just got Legacy. I was hoping she would wait till version 8 came out, but she got it a few weeks ago. She got the whole thing with training CDs too. EVERYONE in the family who is working on this with me has now left FTM. They all LOVE Legacy and are amazed at the features. I have been with Legacy the longest and there are more who will probably begin using it over time who are not on my working team. We are trying to do a book series for over 20,000 people for the first time in 40 years. As we proofread and things, everyone is finding different things that need to be adjusted. As I talk them through it (even when not at my computer), they are thrilled at how easy it is to delete unknown spouses in order to mark someone as never having married and such. They all have told me that they will never switch back to FTM after having used Legacy for a number of months. There is so much good in Legacy that I cannot imagine them messing it up. Other programs don't seem as open to hearing from their users and keep coming out with new versions instead of free fixes in updates that I know it is a matter of time before Legacy is #1. I reviewed all programs every time that Legacy came out with each of the last 3 version and I still found Legacy to be superior overall. Thank you, Legacy team and Geoff.

Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with genealogical files after death of compi ler
Regarding photos AND what to do with files after death of compiler. Regarding photos, we have too many people of the same name so I use the RIN # in the name of the photo. Regarding genealogy files, our one side of the family has a duly elected Family Historian along with other officers for the Reunion Committee. When the last Family Historian was dying of cancer, she quietly had a relative help her to bring boxes and boxes of info to local genealogical and historical societies. She didn't like genealogy software but wanted everything in Microsoft Word using the family's old numbering system. We have corrected so many mistakes that now that numbering system is obsolete and irrelevant since it was based upon birth order, some of which were very wrong. However, she also had 17 boxes of uncomputerized, unsorted, unfiled, unorganized mess leftover. Her grandson gave it to the President of the Family Reunion Committee. I was elected the new Family Historian and have been influencing and connecting with others in the family who use Legacy. Those switching over to Legacy are amazed. My predecessor never "worked with people." She felt threatened by others. However, my first step was reaching out to others and forming a committee which is working on finalizing a book after my being elected in August of 2009. I still have about 12-13 boxes to go through, but we have compiled all the prior published research into the computer, worked on LOTS and LOTS of corrections of info, run Potential Problems Reports as well, and solicited updates from everyone possible with a promise of a free print out of their grandparents on down. Next year is the 280th anniversary of our first male immigrant's arrival in the colonies, and we expect to have the book ready just 4 years after being elected. Hopefully we can have much more of the articles and things scanned and in the next book in 2020. Forty years is way to long for people to wait for a book with the last 15 years having someone in charge who doesn't even own a computer. Our Family Reunion is actually a genealogy fest. LOTS of very distant relatives have been working on research so we know no dearth of interest. We even have a few minutes of storytelling by the Family Historian as well as a report of the deaths/births/marriages since the prior year. With so many sad stories, I thought it would be great to tell one fairly good story. We will have to check out what was given away, but I have plenty to keep me busy for a long time even without whatever she gave away.

Re: [LegacyUG] everyone comes up on the index two times
DO NOT delete people willy nilly. You might find that people won't be connected to anyone then. The only way that I know if is to do a merge.

Re: [LegacyUG] Same sex "marriage".
Genealogy works with bloodlines. There are no bloodlines in same-sex relationships. If there are any children, then the sperm and egg donors should be noted if they are in your family, not the one giving birth if different from sperm and egg donor because that is where the bloodline comes from. If genealogy gets too caught up in these societal downturns, then we will one day be working with even more confusing things like beastiality and such. I know of one distant relative who doesn't want his prior marriages listed because his current wife will get upset. I'm listing them once I get the info anyway. There are some relatives who have had children from affairs that may be hearsay or are not publicly known and I won't be the one to publicize it. There are times when you need to use your head and follow logical requests and not follow others.

Re: [LegacyUG] Same sex "marriage".
If someone wants to record these things, they can work it out on their own. As for me and my house, we won't be recording this either. I don't use the LDS options that are provided but I don't complain that they are there either. This doesn't seem like something that needs to be discussed here.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3800 and other problems
Ron, I updated Legacy on my laptop and had these problems. I also downloaded a new clean version of Legacy on my desktop that was no longer there from a prior rebuild of the computer. I rebooted several times and did check/repair several times but I kept getting the same errors. I don't have the problems on my other lines. This family that we are doing the book on has over 18,000 people with lines A, B, C, ... U. It is only giving me these errors on the G-line. However, I cannot get it to save .rtf or .pdf in any line. If I try to save books from each line into the Publishing Center, it changes all of the book info to the current line that I have open. I have been trying to send info in .rtf or .pdf to other people to proofread and they can't read things because it will only save in .rf1 which doesn't exist.

Would a new computer help? Does it matter if it is 64 bit or 32 bit? I also got a message to send the file to Ken@Legacy...

Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3800 and other problems
I did check/repair and got an error about baptisms that I have no idea how to resolve. I did update to the latest version. I also loaded Legacy on my desktop by downloading the latest and put the file on there. I get the same problems and even more. Now I get Error 3800, 3024, and 3265. It told me to delete the .dbm files (in plural) so I did. Now it says that it cannot find the Legacy2.dbm file. Give me a break! I did reboot etc and no help. Ugh!

I was trying not to update till after our book is done, but relatives are trying to help proofread this massive series of books and I cannot get it working. I did check repair numbers of times and it still is not working. PLeeease help. When these error messages come up, the only option that I have that works is to quit Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Child-Parent Relationship
Thanks Paula. I have gone through the list of citations multiple times and the particular citations just don't match with what I see on the family group sheet report. I'm starting to think it might be something that imported with a gedcom file I imported. Maybe I'll just delete those citations and then add them back in and see what happens. Happy Holidays!

[LegacyUG] Child-Parent Relationship
Hi, I'm new to this group and relatively new to Legacy. I created a Family Group sheet that shows the sources for the parent-child relationships for the husband and wife. I have an extra field called "Child-Par. Rel." that displays for the wife and not for the husband. After each of their parents I also have "Relationship" and the source numbers. I'm trying to understand where the sources are attached for the "Child-Par. Rel."as opposed to the Relationship that displays after the parent names in the Family Group Sheet since they are different. Also I'd like to understand what the difference might be for using these two fields. Where do I control the sources added to each of these areas? I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help you can give me.
