Re: [LegacyUG] protection for Legacy program in PC

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hello Jack,

Sadly, there is no way to protect against these things other than the actions 
you have already taken...backups. The only other advice I can give is to have a 
directory with all your "setup" files in it. I have one named "Installed PC 
Software" which gets backed up to external storage every week. Iy has Legacy 
9.0 setup file in it along with all the other software I have installed in it.

I suspect that when they re-installed Windoze they did so by overwriting the 
existing partition so your data was lost. I have to say that I haven't had any 
BSOD with Windoze 10, but that doesn't help you.

I can't stress enough to people how to follow the 3, 2, 1 backup strategy...3 
backups, 2 different device type, 1 off site (could be a web site ie OneDrive 
etc). Personally, I run several websites so I have unlimited webspace that I 
back my system up too.

Sorry for your issues.

Best regard

Kevin

Subject: [LegacyUG] protection for Legacy program in PC

I'll ask my  question first and then give you the circumstances under which my 
problem happened.
Question: Is there any way to protect the Legacy Program on my PC when Windows 
Support has to uninstall/reinstall my windows 10 because of a blue screen crash?

My new laptop PC is 2 months old and I have had 6 blue Screen crashes. The 
manufacturer, Geek squad and Windows Support have all tested the PC. Windows 
Support as part of their process uninstalled and reinstalled Windows 10. This 
left my Legacy 9 with all updates in very bad condition. My Deluxe version was 
gone and the standard version didn't show any family files left in it. I 
restored deluxe through my Customer number and was able to restore my family 
files. The process also deleted Legacy Family Tree backups. I have always had 
backups. OneDrive cloud storage and backups on plug in drives. It wasn't an 
easy talk finding everything but I did manage to restore files, etc.

I plan to go back to the manufacturer and get a refund on the return of the PC. 
I would like to know what can be done to protect Legacy program and its files 
if I ever have to have this done again.

Any ideas concerning this would be appreciated.

Jack Reynolds

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 11

[Kevin Ferguson]

Roy,

If you are computer savvy and know how to use regedit then there may be a hack 
around this if the issue is the TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Monitor). Basically, 
it is an onboard chip to help protect your computer. It is possible to install 
one 'after-market' but I am sure that would void any warranty you may have. I 
believe that sometimes they are onboard but just not activated. I would contact 
the people you bought the computer off and ask them if yours has one.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows 11

[Kevin Ferguson]

Rita,

It has been reported that Legacy works just fine on Windows 11. As you are 
buying a new computer it should be compatible with Windows 11 but it is easy 
enough to check. Go to Settings > Updates and Security and it may tell you 
there right away. If not, then you can check on the Microsoft website. 
Personally, as support for Windows 10 doesn't come to an end until 2025 I am in 
no hurry to upgrade from Windows 10 Pro. I will let others iron the bugs out! 

On that subject I understand that Windows 11 is going to be releasing updates 
only every 6 months rather than every time you turn around like it does with 
Windows 10 so that is good.

Bets regards
Kevin

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud ending, future backup option/suggestion

[Kevin Ferguson]

It really has nothing to do with how many people are using it, it has to do 
with the European Data Protection Acts. The new rules kick in next year and 
require way to much for them to fuss with, so they are discontinuing it.

I personally loved the feature but I understand their reasons and will move on.

Many users have multiple backups. The legacy cloud option was one choice but

My suggestion is to replace the Legacy Cloud backup option with a second PC 
option. Users who like two backups could set it up from within the program. For 
example, have option one point to a local drive and the second could point to a 
cloud location. I do this now but it involves a separate backup program.

If you like the idea, please let the developers know via Request Feature option.

Yes, many of the genealogy software programs only allow you to attach image 
files, not PDFs.  If you have access to a full version of Adobe Acrobat, not 
just the free reader, you can save PDF files as JPG or other image formats.  
There are also quite a few free converter apps.  cnet.com is a 
reliable source for such free apps.  Another trick that I have used is making a 
screen capture of the image and saving it as a jpg, instead of downloading it.  
Depending on your computer the PRNT SCRN key or the windows snip app will work. 
 But try both as they have a big difference in quality for the jpg file they 
produce.  For me, the windows snip feature works better than the PRNT SCRN 
button, as I can select what I want to capture.

You seem to have missed the whole point! As usual.

I would NEVER leave my computer on all the time. When I use it, I turn it on. 
When I am done, I shut it down. I can't afford to keep it on all the time!!

I have always set all my settings to NOT do any updates without first notifying 
me. These last two just did it on their own, and have wiped out all my files. 
That is so very wrong! All my data on the family files which has taken me years 
to gather are cleaned out. I have nothing now! Do you think I have enough time 
to start over again? I did make backips as I should, but they have disappeared 
as well. I do have some backups from 2017, and may just have to work with that, 
but it's a real disappointment.

I tried to do a Restore tonight. And it ran for six hours, but got nowhere, and 
now I can't even find what I had before. It's destroyed all my settings, 
programs, and files. There is no recourse. I am done!

In my opinion I would use the full name not abbreviations. Electrons are cheap 
enough to go with a full name. I see no reason to shorten anything is genealogy

My suggestion of putting the present name between curly brackets after the

[LegacyUG] Best HTML Generator for GEDs

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hello,

I seem to recall that a few weeks/months ago there was some discussion about 
products for creating web pages from a GED file. I am looking for something 
that will include the pictures from Legacy if such a beast exists. I am not 
necessarily looking for the cheapest, but rather the best. I have my own web 
space so I don't need anything that provides that, indeed I would rather NOT 
use one. I am going to be password protecting the site and giving access to my 
extended family only.

Any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Backing up to the cloud

[Kevin Ferguson]

Declan and Michelle

Speaking as a former IT professional (retired and loving it) I have a few 
comments to make on the 'changes' that seem to have people (including myself) a 
little worried and upset.

1) We understand that bad things happen to computer systems (hardware and 
software) which is exactly why we need backups. That having been said customer 
facing systems MUST be priority if a business is to say in business. A server 
should NOT take more than a day to rebuild and there should be a 'failover' 
system.

2) All software changes should be thoroughly tested before rolling them out, 
especially customer facing applications, however, I do understand and 
acknowledge that you were hit from left field by MyHeritage programmers. This I 
could easily understand being not your fault, however, you are supposed to both 
be the same company. Communication and project management would prevent this. 
It actually makes me wonder what kind of cowboys are employed there. Do you 
have a team that understand that the customer is king. Often misguided, 
demanding, rude and ungrateful, but KING (or queen). You simply can't treat 
your customers with such offhandedness and not expect a backlash.

3) Daily updates on progress (be it positive or negative) is always better than 
silence or half baked promises. Communication is key. People react better when 
they see things happening. Your PR department (if one exists) must be 
proactive, if you don't have one then someone needs to be the mouthpiece for 
the company.

4) Suggesting that people backup to the cloud is a little like saying, we don't 
care anymore, there are other solutions out there. Whereas this is true I 
suggest that everyone read the small print before using some of the Cloud 
services offered. Some site 'claim' the rights to any files loaded on to them.

I am trained in Six Sigma and Lean Processing and I can share this with you, 
nothing is more important than the Voice of the Customer. Lose the customer, 
lose your business.

I love Legacy. It has always been an awesome product for keeping ancestry 
information structured and help identify areas for future and further research 
and it would be a shame if all that was to be forgotten by lack of 
communication and lack of customer focus.

 Respectfully your

Kevin

Hi Michele I have had great response from you with previous questions and thank

The problem with the Hints has nothing to do with the server. MyHeritage had an

code change on our side.

The Legacy download IS housed on the broken server so we parked a copy on the

I assume that when you plug the external drive in Windoze opens up an explorer

Re: [LegacyUG] Home network question - Legacy 9 Deluxe

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hi John

Although this doesn't strictly answer your question I believe it would 'maybe' 
work for you. I use the cloud backup feature of Legacy to keep multiple PC's 
'current'. One I use all the time, the other is my 'hot backup'. If you backup 
multimedia files  this way then when you restore on the other computer Legacy 
will rebuild your structure. I don't keep my media files in the Legacy 
directory but I link to them. I also do a weekly backup of all my files 
(website, work files, ancestry, documents, pictures etc.) every week onto one 
of two external drives (I flip flop each week). It has got me out of disaster 
more than once. The script to automatically back up the directories is a DOS 
BAT file.

A sample script is available here: 
http://www.abbydalesystems.com/windows.php#bkup It is totally free. If you need 
any help please let me know.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Renaming media files



Hi



Interesting problem, and my first question is 'why did you do it that way?'



All pre-1911 census records can be indexed by the Head of the family or by 
a location & page number (better if there are multiple families on the sheet). 
Individual 1911 census records can be indexed by the Head of the family and the 
summary sheets as before. Equally, BMD images must relate to one or more 
individuals, especially for parish records, which can be used to index them 
which I then extend with the date of the event. I have also structured the 
media folder into separate sub-folders by census year, births, marriages, 
deaths etc. which simplifies the file name system.



However, somehow you need to build a list of the existing images and 
associate them against a list of new names, and then process them.



How good is your VBA since that will be only way to do it and, depending on 
exactly how you you want to structure the new file names, can be built to do it 
automatically. Yes, it can be done, but you will need to work through the 
tables to identify what you need to find and update, and also make the change 
to the file as well. Alternatively you could write an external program to do it.



It happens that I am a programmer and have worked on Access VBA, and I 
would need several attempts to write something to do it and test it out. Of 
course working on a backup copy until I was 100% happy that it was correct and 
that Legacy still liked it.



Otherwise, it is the slow 'do it by hand' method. Change the file name, 
open the individual or event and manually re-identify the file - the media 
relinker is pretty well useless at that job if you let it try to locate the 
image, which no longer exists.



Regards



Chris

All,



I suspect i already know the answer but.



I have a LOAD of media files that have the name Unknown(xxx), where xxx is a 
number. I have tagged the files (in Windows Explorer) as to whether they are 
1911 UK census images or UK BMD entries.



What I would like to do is rename, at the very least, the Census files to a 
standard 1911 England Census(xxx) format so that I at least have all the Census 
files in order.



Is there any way to bulk rename the files to replace the Unknown with 1911 
England Census without having to do each one individually ?



Alternatively, does anyone have a schema for the data tables that I could use 
to cook up my own Access query to try and achieve the desired outcome ?



Thanks in advance,



Chris Swann

Great advice Gene to everyone.

I am from New Zealand and use ' xtra.co.nz'.

When the first email came through, on I think it was 10 Oct.,  I sensed it was 
'Spam', didn't open and next morning

with more coming in knew it was spam so immediately went and moved them to my 
'Spam' folder via create filter.

As a result I have had none in my inbox as all go immediately to spam and have 
now been stopped by my server.

I have noticed from a quick look at the ones in the spam that many people were 
actually forwarding

these emails on to everyone again by asking a question or making a statement 
about the email.

Please never forward or answer a SPAM email!

To those who have done this please take time to make yourself aware of the 
content and addresses of the

emails you have coming in before opening and forwarding on to other people so 
as not to cause a massive

problem like this again.

Take time to check out what a 'spam email' could look like and never answer it, 
if unsure leave it wait, and check.

Re: [LegacyUG] Have Lost My Access to Legacy 9

I agree with Jerry. The latest Windoze update is a real trouble causer. We have 
two laptop, one a HP the other a Asus both Windows 10. The Asus machine updated 
(on its own, despite having set the 'let me decide' option) to the April 
service pack and the whole machine had to have Windoze re-installed. We lost 
everything. The HP machine was fine after the update. Both machines use AVG.


I guess the moral of the story is:


Backup before an upgrade, especially to WIndoze (although in our case the 
upgrade happened on it own).


I would really warn people about the April upgrade too. It seems like it is a 
major deal but has little gain in functionality. YMMV

an autosumal test but I don't see that listed on the add DNA screen.


The results  are rather intriguing and I have no idea how far back the tests 
would go back to but as far as I can see the test results don't match the 
research I have (I am back to 1780). I find no North African, Nigerian nor 
Finnish connection in my direct line ancestors. I agree with the English 
portion though :). It is a little bit surprising not to find any Celtic markers 
given that my name is Ferguson, my paternal grandmother was MacDonald and I 
have documented proof of Scottish kin on my mother's side. It is all rather 
perplexing and I have no idea why it should be so puzzling. My father's 
ancestors didn't even leave the county of their births for 300 years!


Any assistance would be greatfullly received.

Re: [LegacyUG] How can update my other computer for Legacy

[Kevin Ferguson]

It depends on what you want to update. The Legacy software itself, you data 
files or your colateral documentation (i.e. Census prints, certificate copies, 
pictures etc.). I keep my machines at the same Legacy levels by manually 
updating one, then after a brief test period I update the other. My main 
datafile is backed up in the Legacy cloud and I simply restore it on my second 
machine. The colateral files I use an external drive for backup so I simply 
copy that to the second machine if needed. (I use the same file path layout on 
both machines).

Hope this helps.

[LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hi there,


I ordered a MyHeritage DNA kits for my wife and I and I wanted to know how to 
input the results into Legacy. I clicked on the DNA symbol in the "Individual 
Information" screen but didn't see an entry for MyHeritage DNA service. I find 
this odd as the email I got from Legacy seemed to be endorsing the MyHeritage 
DNA kits.


Has anyone managed to add their results to Legacy and if so, how?


Thank you for any pointers.


Best regards


Kevin

Re: [LegacyUG] Print Report Formats

[Kevin Ferguson]

It sure doesn't look like HTML. In HTML it would be enclosed in <>. i.e.  
Text to be in italics  <, i> It could well be PCL code though. Oh and I doubt  
it is XML either. ;)

Thank you for your response.  I agree with you comment but I can not get Legacy 
to do any thing about it.  That's really the disgusting part of the problem.

This looks suspiciously like html code : \i - open italic and \i0 close italic. 
I am not a programmer so I could well be wrong.

Bill,
you seem to be showing old style codes Legacy used to use.
Is the Preview showing the code or just the actual print?

eg I'm wondering whether the problem is in Legacy or between Legacy and your 
printer.

Does the problem go away if you re-apply the italics?

I have Legacy 7.5 on my computer (as a tester) and it uses the new style code 
with the small double arrows - Guillemets.

You could contact Support. They may be able to update the codes throughout your 
file if that's the problem. However, I can't speak for them.

I have been using Legacy Family since the version 7 years.  I try to
use a number of the reports supplied by the Legacy.  Since the
beginning I have had problems with some of the output formats.  Seems
to happen mostly in the output of the list programs.  In stead of
simply listing the "item name' the program prints the "item name" plus
what appears to be a programing instruction before and after the "item
name".  For example: if the newspaper name New York Times is to be
printed the report output will be \i New York Times \i0 will appear.
At first I thought it might have something to do with the printer
interface but I have gone through several different kinds of printers
and still the same problem.  Unfortunately, this makes print reports
options useless for me.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Citing UK GRO Index listings

Thank you everyone for your assistance. It looks like I have a good solution. I

Kevin,
There are special templates for this though for some reason they include a box 
for the sub-district which isn't part of the index unless it is for recent 
years.
The templates aren't in an obvious place as first you have to choose 
certificate.
eg: Birth records - birth certificate - England - birth certificate index - 
online database.

I'm using the template for the new GRO indexes for birth and death at the GRO 
but still have a Basic style source for the old GRO indexes available all over 
the place.

Cheers,
Cathy

What is the best way of citing the GRO index listing in Legacy

Try FileZilla for uploading webpages. It is drag and drop and easy to 
setup...and free.

Sorry, I may have misled,  I want to use legacy and not TNG,  I already have a

I was hoping that Legacy had a method to upload directly to a web site.

Joanne and Ian,

That's what TNG is all about! Basically, you simply upload your gedcom and 
you're in business. Yes, you need to make a couple decisions then, but TNG has 
some great tutorials that will take you through it. And you can choose from 
about 15 templates to get the look you want. Should you ever wish to customize 
the template, there are many ways to do so, or you can easily find someone on 
the TNG Users group or TNG Forum who will do it for you for a modest cost.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web page creation

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hi Ian


Restricting the webpages will have to be done either through a piece of code on 
your website (not very safe or efficient) or by using .htaccess, which will 
depend on what web hosting site you are using. I usually create a CD with the 
webpages on it and use autorun code so that my non-computer literate relatives 
can just stick the CD in and it will run.

[LegacyUG] Globally editting source details

[Kevin Ferguson]

Hello everyone This is my first posting here so please forgive me should I 
violate any policies. :) I have been a little stupid (nothing new there) and 
when I added source detail for GRO BMD certificates I failed to add any text in 
the Detail Text field. Now I realize that was something I shouldn't have done 
but I have hundreds of folks attached to different certificates but none of 
them have any text detail. Is the only way to right my mistake to go back and 
redo or is there a way of globally changing these detail records for each 
particular entry? Best regardsKevin Ferguson
