Re: [LegacyUG] Ethnicity

[M Sandvig]

I changed 'christening' to 'Tribe'.
On Oct 12, 2014 2:07 PM, fersken fers...@verizon.net wrote:

  Since the emergence of the Origin’s Report, I have been considering the
 difference between place of birth and ethnicity.  I have Montaukett Indian
 ancestry in my background but on the Origin’s report, the only thing they
 represent is U.S.  The *Montaukett* or *Montauk people* are a Native
 American
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States tribe
 of Algonquian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquian_languages-speaking
 people from the eastern end of Long Island
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island, New York
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York.   I have in my direct ancestry a
 chief of the Montaukett named Wyandanch.  In the the second half of the
 1650s, Wyandanch had acquired enough power and influence to be considered
 the main alliance chief on a Long Island by the colonists.  My Origin’s
 Report  shows United States and I began to wonder if Legacy 8.0 had any way
 of showing ethnicity?  I could find nothing on the subject.  In this 21st
 century in the United States, there are many who are of mixed ethnicities.
 While I understand the problematic concept of setting up a column to show
 ethnicity and the possibility of offending some people, I wonder if there
 isn’t some way to include race* if the researcher wanted to*.   The census
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States_Census
  officially recognizes six ethnic and racial categories: White American,
 Native American and Alaska Native, Asian American, African American, Native
 Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and people of two or more races; a
 race called Some other race is also used in the census and other surveys,
 but is not official.  The United States Census Bureau also classifies
 Americans as Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or Latino, which
 identifies Hispanic and Latino Americans
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans as a
 racially diverse *ethnicity*
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States_Census
  that composes the largest minority group in the nation.  Apparently,
 this concept of including ethnicity rather that place of origin is too
 “touchy” for any genealogical software company to touch.  My question,
 therefore, is this:  Is there any way I can indicate (other than in the
 notes) that some of  my direct ancestors are Native American and not mix
 them together as United States?

Re: [LegacyUG] American Indian ancestors

[M Sandvig]

I would like to weigh in on the other side of the question.  I am an
American Indian, I am enrolled at Colville.   Chief is not a first name;
it's a misrepresentation of a Title, usually something on the order of
Head-Man.  The way Legacy handles names is one of the reasons I chose it.
In instances where the person only has one name, I have placed it as the
given name, not the surname.  I also place tribal affiliation in a
'Nationality' category.
As for researching these people, try the Lenape nation's website.  Send a
message to either their Historian or Probate Officer.

 Supposedly I have an 18th century Indian ancestress and somebody on the

 So would you put Netawatwees in the given name or surname space?

 Then they've got his father as Chief Unami, Delaware tribe Lenape Nation
 Nutimus.

 How would you handle this?

 Thanks,

[LegacyUG] Sourcing

[LegacyUG] Obits

[M Sandvig]

I need advice on sourcing an obit.  It is a regular obituary from a
newspaper.  Do you recommend using Sourcewriter / newspaper?  Or should I
create an 'Event' Obituaries?
I am struggling with this as I know it will make a difference in Reports.
 My ultimate goal is to have the obituary print out with the individuals'
information in a book style report.

[LegacyUG] Custom Family View

[M Sandvig]

Is it possible to add/change one of the Family View labels?  The five
default fields are Born, Chr, Died, etc.
I have looked through the Custom Display list and what I want isn't there.
Can I add one of my own making?

(we're American Indians; I would like a label that indicates whether the
individual was enrolled and if so, where)

 I just realized there is no place in Legacy to record a person’s race (or
 is there?)  I just received a marriage license in the mail from Forrest
 County, MS on one of my relatives.  The marriage came from one of the
 “Colored” marriage books.  When I requested the marriage I had no idea that
 the man she married was black.  Lucky for me the clerk in Forrest County
 was smart enough to check the “Colored” books when she didn’t find the
 marriage in the white marriage book.  I looked for this man right away in
 the WWI draft cards and I did find him (listed as black).  However, if I
 hadn’t done any more research on his for months I might have forgotten he
 was black and missed records discounted certain records because of race.
 If there isn’t a place to record race (if there is I couldn’t find it) it
 would be nice if there was.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging

Thank you Rich.  I am somewhat new to Legacy and have the same question.  I

 What does tagging actually do?  And what is the benefit?  My previous
program didn't use this feature.

Re: [LegacyUG] Centennia

Has anyone ever thought of making this type of software for American Indian
tribes?
Marie Sandvig

 Anyone have an opinion on Centennia, the mapping software for Europe?

 I currently have AniMap and find it very useful for figuring out the
 history of county borders in the U.S.  Is Centennia as detailed?

 Here's my situation --
 I want to record place names in accordance with the common standard, that
 is, at the time the event occurred.  I have an entire family who came from
 Saint Wendel, which is in the Saarland of Germany.  Tracking the history of
 this region is not easy, as it has been, at various times in the last 200
 years, part of Lichtenstein, Prussia, Bavaria, the German Empire, Germany,
 an independent state, and a protectorate of the United Nations.

 If Centennia does nothing more than show me the change in borders of
 Germany, that's probably not enough detail for me.  I'd like to see the
 evolution of the Rheinland-Pflaz, and even, if possible Sankt Wendel Kreis,
 the district that Sankt Wendel sits in.

 So, particularly for users of AniMap, is Centennia worth its price?

 Thanks,
 Scott
