RE: [LegacyUG] Search for marriage date without day and month
Yes, I did it that way. It wasn't too bad as there wasn't a huge number. *** The rest is Off Topic but of interest to users with Queensland research. The reason I wanted to do it is that I just found out you can get the exact date if you don't know it by using the online BDMs which show only the year when you search. I have been doing this for a while with the New Zealand online BDMs, but didn't think to try it with the Qld ones. It is time consuming, but if you badly want to know and don't want to look at the microfiche somewhere, it can be done. Say you have a date of 1920. You put into the search boxes Search from 01/01/1920 to 31/12/1920 and Submit. Then break it down to 01/06/1920 - 31/12/1920 and if that still gets a result when you submit, change the month till you get no result; go back to the month with a result (Say 01/06/1920 - 30/06/1920) and start changing the days till you get a result of say, 16/06/1920-16/16/1920.

RE: [LegacyUG] Citing Scotlands People records - basic source

You asked in an earlier post which was the Master Source and which the Detail in the example I gave. I use SourceWriter and the Citation shown on the Master Source screen is: Scotland Statutory Registers, ; digital image, ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk). (The website name ScotlandsPeople is in italics.) Note that I have not filled in the fields Agency/Creator, Website Creator or Publish Date on the SW template. Those entries would come after Scotland, after image, and in the bibliography only, respectively. However, I would be interested to see the templates for Scotland sources, but couldn't find them. Would you be able to tell me the steps to take when setting up a source in Source Writer so I can find them? The template I used is Death RecordsDeathRegisterCreated at State/Provincial level/Online image. To access this template, select SourceWriter System in Options/Customise/Sourcesclick then from the Add new Master Source screen do the following in turn: Select Death Records in the left column Select Death Register from list 1 Select Created at State/Provincial level from list 2 Select Online image from list 3 Click Go to Step 2. Fill in a many of the fields as you wish. I might be worth mentioning here, for the benefit of those who want consistency but hesitate to use SourceWriter, that I make *a lot* of use of the Add a generic source here/Online database field template. Having set up the Master Source, the Source Detail has only 3 fields: Item of interest, Date accessed and Credit line (plus the usual optional ones at the bottom of the screen.) This means it is suitable for a whole variety of Sources and you can write as much or as little as you want in the Item of interest field in whatever form you want. There are other variations of the Add a generic source here template and all have the same 3 Detail fields, allowing for much flexibility. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

RE: [LegacyUG] Add child to mother
David, This child was born before the mother was married and the father's name was not recorded as was the case formerly, even if his name was known, hopefully, to the mother. The child gets the mother's surname. If the mother marries soon after, her husband may be the father but one can't assume that. I just don't like having a lot of UNKOWN names for fathers whose name I will probably never know. If I ever did find out, I would add him and link him to the child.

RE: [LegacyUG] Unknown spouse
Thanks, Scott I unlinked the child from the mother and the unknown father. Then, and this was what I had forgotten, brought up the child and right clicked Add- mother - link to existing person.

One, if you have a mother with no father attached, and simply create a child, no RIN will be assigned to the unknown father. An MRIN will be, which is unavoidable. Two, if you create a unlinked child and then link it to a mother only, the child will attach to the mother only. Again, if the mother has no existing husband, none wil be created and thus no RIN, but as above, an MRIN will be (mother + unknown).

My apologies to the LUG for hijacking Elizabeth's thread, that certainly was not my intention. I have changed the subject line to reflect this new thread. My reason for renumbering MRINs is for filing and indexing of hard copies of Family Group Sheets, within my direct lines, in a numerical based Binder system. This is a system that I have studied for some time, and can be found at http://www.fileyourpapers.com/legacy/legacy.html If anyone has knowledge of this system, I would be interested in the Pro's and Con's of using it. If I do not renumber the MRINs within my Direct Lines the numbers in the index would not be contiguous and would make it more difficult to locate a particular record.

Thank you, Richard.

First, of course, Backup. Tag the Source Writer Source that you want converted to Basic and untag all others. Run the following select query: SELECT tblSR.IDSR, tblSR.SrcName, tblSR.Contents, tblSR.UseStandard, tblSR.TemplateID, tblSR.SrcTag, tblSX.IDIME, tblSX.Type, tblSX.SrcDetail, tblSX.SrcDetText, tblSX.SrcDetNote, tblSX.Content FROM tblSR INNER JOIN tblSX ON tblSR.IDSR = tblSX.IDSR WHERE (((tblSR.SrcTag)=1)); This will show you all the citations using that Master Source. Under UseStandard, change the first record from zero (0) to one (1). The rest of them will change too when you move cursor down to next record. Under TemplateID, change the number there to zero (0). The rest of them will change too when you move cursor down to next record. If you keep track of the TemplateID you can even change it back with no loss of data. The query could be simpler or even more automated but thought you might want to see all citations.

There is a box which for me is always checked by default: Add this Detail to the Source Citation on Reports. I have two questions for this esteemed group. My assumption is that the box Add this Detail to the Source Citation on Reports in the Optional section refers only to the surety level. Question 1: Is there any way to set the default so that this box is UNchecked? I have never selected a surety level, but when I export a GEDCOM with full source details, it is reporting a surety level of 3 for every source that contains Source Detail. Question 2 (two parts): Now, for the 8,000 source detail entries I have for 2,000 individuals, they are all accompanied by an unintended surety level. (a) Is there a way to globally remove the surety level entry entirely for all these previously created sources? (b) Re my assumption above, would globally unchecking the box (Add this Detail...) just remove the surety level, or would it also remove reporting of the source detail text which I have entered? If necessary, I could probably set up a query to remove the surety info (using MS Access) if I knew what table field it is stored in.

I list both names like this for example: Chottschow, Kreis Lauenberg, Pommern (Choczewo, Wejherowo, Pomorskie, Poland) That way, if I want to find the place on the map in Legacy, I can find it just by temporarily deleting the former location name. I prefer to do it this way instead of using the location notes. I have a website that also uses maps and I have made it a rule for myself not to enter a location till I can find it somewhere on a map such as Google Maps.

Often I also use a transcription of the headstone as a source for the death date and like to attach the picture to the source detail. It would be really nice if I could attach the picture to the source detail from the Picture Centre to save re-typing the caption and description. Does anyone know of a work around that would save me time?

RE: [LegacyUG] Married 'Someone'
Jan, Did you try what fixed this for me? Go to the Marriage List, find your couple, then go to Options, and remove the marriage link (make sure you note the RIN of each person first). Then go to the Name List, find the husband, say, click on him to open him in Family View, then add a spouse, choosing add existing person, and add back the spouse.

I once had this happen to me. What I finally came up with to fix it was to unlink the couple and then re-link them. I did this using the Marriage List.

I thought this problem had been resolved some time ago. Originally I had an unknown wife for Fred, but recently added a name. Obviously the someone is a hangover from when her name was unknown. How does one resolve this problem other than having to read through every report word for word once it has been created. At the moment I tend to rely on Word’s spelling error identifier to check for spelling errors, as well as making any additions or deletions that I know I need – I’d prefer not to have to check the wording of every marriage statement just in case the extraneous ‘someone’ is in place.

RE: [LegacyUG] When a married couple have the same grandparents, how highlight this?
Yes, Grandparents had children A and B. A is parent of the male/female of the couple you mention and B is the parent of the other. I think the main reason it is frowned on is the possibility of the couple having children with genetic problems because of the close relationship of the parents. If you Google relationship charts you will be offered several choices. Two people who are the same number of generations distant from a common ancestor are same level cousins. Consider the following rule of thumb: FIRST COUSINS share a grandparent in common. SECOND COUSINS share a great-grandparent in common. THIRD COUSINS share a great-great-grandparent in common. And so on.

You are saying, if I am translating this correctly, that the children of the grandparents are full siblings to each other? In some cultures that is not illegal nor immoral, but most societies frown on it. In other societies, third cousins needed permission to marry from the 'leaders'. What do you want the computer to do? This is a possible judgement taboo, not a physically impossible one. On a documentary I saw last year it was of British couples doing this and they had formed a 'support' group.

RE: [LegacyUG] Pop up boxes squished
Paul, I also have a 22 monitor, but I have had it for ages, well before Legacy 7.4. and this problem. If I uncheck stretch fonts when resizing, the pop-up boxes are readable, but the font size on the screen is too small for me to read comfortably. Yes - a minor issue, but still irritating. Jennifer -Original Message- From: Paul Gray [mailto:grayp...@telus.net] Sent: Tuesday, 23 February 2010 6:10 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Pop up boxes squished Hi all, I believe this is monitor size and resolution dependent. I have a laptop (15.6 1280X800) and using this screen, I have no issues. When I connect my laptop to a large external monitor (22 1680X1050) I have the squished pop-up boxes. The only thing that is changing is the monitor, my legacy settings and windows settings are identical. I have Options-Customize-Fonts set to default values, and Stretch Fonts when resizing is checked (I do resize fonts). My Windows settings for DPI size is 100% (96DPI). I believe the issue has to do with how and when Legacy 'stretches fonts', On the large monitor, depending upon which tab I set Legacy to start in (Family, Pedigree, Descendant, or Index) I get slightly different 'stretching'. If I start in the index tab, the fonts are about twice the size that they are if I did not have 'stretching selected' I believe this is because the fonts are being stretched to 'fill' one line on the screen grid. If I then switch to the family tab, the fonts stay the same size and are quite small in relation to the size of the data boxes in the family view. With these smaller fonts, the pop-up boxes display just fine. If I then minimize/maximise the family view, the fonts become very large, because in family view since there are only a fixed number of boxes on the screen, and the monitor is large, so each box is quite large. (in this case, the pop-up boxes are fine since there is an intervening minimize/maximize). If I start in family view (my normal setting), the fonts are very large to start with because the text boxes are large to start with. The pop-boxes are squished. So, the bottom line is that the screen fonts can be of varying sizes on the same screen depending upon how one got to that screen. It would appear that if one starts in family view (and probably many users do), the screen fonts can be quite large on a large monitor. However, whatever logic is used to calculate the pop-up box size seems to be 'unaware' of the size of the font on screen. But, this will only be an issue if the screen fonts are large enough that they do not fit in whatever the minimum (or default) pop-up box size. However, in the end I think it's a pretty minor issue. I don't find a quick minimize/maximize in family view once per session that big a deal. Paul Gray -Original Message- From: Brian/Support [mailto:br...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: February-22-10 9:38 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Pop up boxes squished Wm, The font size Legacy uses is based on the height of the window not on the width of the screen. If you make any screen in Legacy too narrow for all the text on a line to show then the line will be truncated at the end of the screen. It is very difficult to calculate a font size based on the width of the screen because each line will contain a different number of characters and, with variable width fonts, the width of the letters is not a constant value. The pop up box for the parent section uses the width of the parent box. For children the pop up can use more width because the area for the children list is larger. My interpretation of the squished in this subject is that some people are seeing either a situation where the lines in the pop up boxes are not fully visible because the top or the bottom of the fonts are not displayed or where there is an overlap between lines because the space between the lines in the pop up is insufficient. I have not been able to duplicate that problem. Every time I change the height of my Legacy family view to change the font size in the family view then try to open the pop up boxes the font size in the pop up box matches the font size in the family view. I did see some cases where the space between lines was much larger than the standard but in no cases were the lines overlapped nor were there cases where the font height was too large for the lines.

In my previous posting I indicated that my experimenting revealed that the behavior seemed to occur when the program opened in a maximized window state. The solution, I pointed out, was to Restore Down the window (by clicking the middle of the three icons in the upper right corner of the program window). What I've since discovered is that the 'squished pop-up window' behavior returns regardless of the size to which the program opens. The simple solution, however, remains the same. That is, change the size of the window by either maximizing or restoring down - whichever case is appropriate. The pop-up window seems then to display normally for the remainder of the session.

I am experiencing it also, however, it seems to be an intermitant problem. I have not been able to identify any regular sequence of steps that will cause it to occur. Sometimes you see it, and sometimes you don't (sounds like the old Texas two step). I first noticed this new phenomenon only after upgrading from 7.0.0.109 to 7.4. It had never appeared prior to the upgrade. Too set your mind at ease, You are definitely not seeing things, and you didn't mess anything up.

I found a post that referred to Geoff's comments I was trying to find. It was in a post by Gail Rich Nestor on 17 Sep 2008 to the old legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com. So it was a special web export he was talking about. Pity it didn't happen. I really think the sourcewriter is going to work out well and I'm so glad that Geoff and the programmers are working on the export issue. Geoff, I truly believe that this program could also win over many in the professional genealogy community if/when we can get the export working smoothly. That would be a great product endorsement!

You can save a number of different display settings and easily switch between them as you need to. In Family view, right click on the frame where the display names are, and click customise. First Save your current settings and give them a name to suit - you might call it 1 = people. Then change the names to the ones you want for the dogs, and save them - eg 2 = dogs. You can then right click and switch the display by selecting from the list of your saved settings. You can also use the saved settings for changes to the display more subtle reasons.
