Re: [LegacyUG] Couple married twice

James Spencer (a corporal in the Grenadier Guards) married Ellen Kemp on 24 Dec

possible reasons for them going through two marriage ceremonies, but my
immediate problem is: how do I record the two marriages in Legacy?

I would be grateful for any suggestions.


I believe at that time, the soldier would have needed the permission of his 
commanding officer in order to get married. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Army, 
permission wasn't forthcoming until later, hence the second marriage.

This is otherwise known as a Digest and is not available on this list. A Digest 
may seem like a good idea but is usually misused by those who receive it. A 
Digest accumulates several messages over a period of time and then sends a 
single message out containing the bodies of the accumulated messages. This is 
where the misuse occurs, because Digest receivers (like some of us normal 
receivers) generally forget to trim their replies and end up including the whole 
of the Digest, much to the ire of us normal receivers.

One thing to watch out for is the Registration Districts in the
BMD Civil Registration lists. These cover a number of parishes, from 1 to 20+,
and a number of villages/towns. Frequently they do not appear in the Legacy list
since the name does not match any village or town. The best way is to use the
Registration District as a name and try to find where it actually is (or was)
from the list of parishes that Ancestry can give you.

I got caught on that looking for Milton in Kent. There is a
parish called Milton next to Gravesend and another just north of Sittingbourne,
about 15 miles east, which is the name for the Milton Registration District. I
got the wrong one!!


I enter Registration Districts as, e.g., Milton Registration District/RD. No 
need for any county or country information as they  only occur in the UK. As for 
'pinning' them to a map, you can use Family Search 
 to display a map of the UK with all the 
Registration Districts superimposed on the counties. Only problem is that it 
shows the districts as they were in 1851 :-) I think it holds pretty well for 
the 19th century if you couple it with the information on GENUKI.

Go through the process of relabelling your relatives. Labels get assigned and 
then do not change based on new information, until you re-do the labelling. See

This note pertains to a bit of history, geography and using Legacy to enter the

Adding to what Jenny has said:

Civil events - I use the name of the Registration District with a suffix of RD. 
Occasionally, I'll add the county as well. For example, I have relatives born 
and bred in Wiveton in Norfolk, England. For Civil Events. I would use 
Walsingham RD or Walsingham RD, Norfolk. I will, sometimes, add the parish, so 
that I get Wiveton, Walsingham RD, Norfolk. This is used for Births, Marriages 
and Deaths.


Church events - generally follow a standard of parish, village, county, country. 
Hence: St Mary the Virgin, Wiveton, Norfolk, England. This gets used for 
baptisms/christenings, marriages and burials.


Censuses - a slightly different standard that follows what is recorded for each 
census: place, county, country. Sometimes in the larger towns or cities, I would 
add a civil parish (again taken from the census).


Rule 1: NEVER USER ABBREVIATIONS!

having a parent.



I have no information whatsoever as to what their parents' names were, so in
my mind, not entering a sibling would be a sin. She needs to be there so
someone other than myself could have a shot of finding something I couldn't
yet find. So I entered a mother with the given name of "Not", and the surname
of "Known". The sibling was then added successfully. Has anyone else had this
problem, and if so, how did you handle it?


In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a parent-less person on 
show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and have the 
program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to the original, 
parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no longer seems to

I would have thought that this was a Windows restriction and not a Legacy

that list. It does say that not all filename strings are valid on all file

This paragraph might cast some light (from

Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode

the following:


The following reserved characters:
< (less than)

: (colon)

/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)

Your Alt-0150 might only be really valid on a pure Unicode system.


One question though: What software did you use for the ZIP/UNZIP? Software that

Totally different business model. What you're asking would entail running Legacy
Family Tree as a Web application rather than as a Desktop application. You
wouldn't then purchase the software, but simply pay a monthly subscription to
use it. In all probability, keeping the data on your PC would incur massive
costs as the data flows back and forth. It then becomes cheaper to keep the data
on the website and you've lost the ultimate ownership of it. Just like using
Ancestry's software to maintain a tree on their website.

I think he wants Legacy to perform OCR on the source image and drop the fields

I don't understand what you're mumbling about. Any window can be moved to
another position to reveal more of what it's covering. In general, a window
moved to a new place will retain that new position when it's next opened.

In my view, the Census is an Event. The Schedules (or documentation) produced
from a census, is a Source. If you can avoid using Census for both terms, there
would be less confusion.

I think that that is more down to lack of survival of the earliest documents

I'm not sure this is a bug as such. At this point, you've already said you

At this stage, I'm guessing that Legacy has already updated the database, and
(here's the crucial bit) confirmed the set of updates. If the confirm isn't done
until the window is closed, then there would still be an opportunity to cancel
any pending updates. If that works, and I know it does using .NET, then cancel
would mean cancel.

That's a Windows 10 problem. Actually they do 'grey-out'. There's a shift from

  Throw in a lack of visible window borders.

The error will also occur if attempting to save a backup file greater than 4gb
on a disk formatted with the FAT32 file system.  You must use the NTFS disk
format if files are larger than 4gb.  Alternately, all of our backup programs
allow you to save the backup file in smaller 'chunks' to avoid the 4gb limit of
FAT32.

It doesn't work on the Legacy FDB file directly but with a Gedcom. It does far

Add a fictitious father and link him as a child to both the grandparents and the

Re: [LegacyUG] Preparation for upgrading to Legacy 8

I don't think you specifically hijacked the thread. It was the person you
replied to.

People don't understand that every email carries a unique reference number. This
is used when you reply to the email so that email readers (as opposed to
browsers) can link messages together and so form a thread. This is different to
how a browser sees a thread. Browsers are dumb and assume everything with the
same Subject line belongs to the same thread.

The OP made the original mistake by hitting reply, and then clearing out
everything: subject and content. Unfortunately her message still links back to
the one she replied to: hence the hijacking. You simply, and inadvertently,
compounded the problem by replying to her message thus carrying on the linkage
back to the thread which was hijacked.

There are always two options when you want to send an email: replying and
writing. Writing starts a new thread; Replying continues an existing thread.

There you are! Using Cloud storage for working files is always going to be
problematic. You can not guarantee that temporary (the lock file in this case)
files do not get copied to the Cloud whilst you're working locally. Then, when
you finish, Google Drive notices that the lock file has gone from your PC and
assumes the file should be retrieved from the Cloud. Next time you use the
program, the presence of the lock file leads the program (Access really) to
assume the file is already open.

Addendum.

Check the Google Drive Preferences. There's a statement that reads Files in
Google Drive that are not in a folder will always sync To me, it looks like
your files are at the root of the Google Drive so will always sync. Create a
folder in Google Drive to hold your Legacy files and it's probably possible to
control what is and what isn't synch'ed to the Cloud.

 new gedcoms and using a text editor isn't real appealing unless
 find-and-replace-all could be used to quietly disable the relevant tag(s).

My suggestion would be to download and install a much earlier version of Legacy
and use that to turn the Temple stuff off. Then, the saved file (hopefully
without Temple) could be read by a recent version of Legacy and hopefully there
will be no Temple data in the file.

Something I meant to ad in my previous post.

Whilst saying that I thought it bad practice to use the Cloud as a storage
medium, this should have been directed at not using the Cloud to store your
Family DataBase file. These online storage facilities are best suited to files
that do not change very much: such as images. The FDB files can be kept online,
in a way, simply by making your OneDrive folder the target for Backups. You then
get a copy of the backup on your local disk and another one replicated in the 
Cloud.

 The concept that using One Drive or Dropbox for your Legacy Family is
 'operating with cloud based storage' is inaccurate. These products have a one
 instance of the file on your local computer, and another instance up in the

 others connected to the account.

 When you are using Legacy, you are operating on the local file on your PC,
 and the 'cloud copy' is updated subsequent to the local copy. You can
 continue to use Legacy even if you have no live internet connection.

 I see absolutely no problem using One Drive for the main family file.

 Mike, what do you see as the downside of using One Drive (or it's cousins) as
 the family file location.

Because as you make changes to the family file, OneDrive will try to upload each
change as it happens. Each time it uploads, it copies the whole file, not just
what was changed. To work like this you need fast broadband upload capability (I
don't think there's much of that around) most upload speeds are a maximum of
half the download or rated line speed. Another thing to be thrown into the
calculation: capped or uncapped.

 Is there a special option for Legacy to recognize, or be mapped to the picture

Not good practice. I would treat OneDrive purely as a backup medium and keep
images on the PC.

I can achieve what you're trying to do using version 7.5 and I suspect the
process might be the same on version 8.0 but I can't tell since I only have the
vanilla options which don't include the Picture Centre.

Using the Browse button (if there is such a thing) on the Picture Centre, you
can select a folder from which to pick images. In order to use your OneDrive
folder, you must know the true location of the folder. On my Windows/7 system,
it is found at

C:\Users\username\OneDrive

 Pictlist.dbm file makes logical sense, but then that gives me a problem in

 I have my database and media files on a USB memory stick so that I can use

 some pictures are shown with a + and others with a - and on the other machine
 the + and - vary, and vice versa. BUT all pictures are given their correct
 locations at the bottom of the picture centre.
 Which would seem to indicate that there is a problem with the - and + in the
 picture centre

 From the 7.5 Help file - topic = Picture Centre

The U column to the left of the file names indicates whether or not each picture
has been attached to someone in your family file already.  The + means that
picture in that folder has been attached to someone.  The - means that file name
has been attached to someone but from a different picture folder.  For example,
you may be looking at grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Pictures folder but another file
called grandpa.bmp in the Legacy\Reunion\Pictures folder is currently being used
somewhere in your file.  (You should be careful not to have different picture
files with the same name located in different folders.  It will surely confuse
you at some point…

Two separate problems. Firstly, the fact that your remote resources 'disappear'
is a Windows thing, and there's little you can do about that. A similar thing
happens to me between using shared drives a desktop machine and a laptop.

Secondly, the fact that Legacy 'forgets' a networked resource if it isn't
available looks like a bug. However, in defence of the program, I doubt it was
ever designed with networked files in mind in the first place.

So, report a bug using the website accessed from the Legacy Home tab - bottom

I don't share your optimism that Legacy will be changed. The founders of the

Doesn't look like there's an affirmative answer to any of you questions. Best
you can do is create a CSV file which can then be imported into a spreadsheet.

 Where is the subject line I really don't understand this

An email is like a letter. It has an envelope and the contents. The Envelope
contains the email address of where the message is being sent to and the address
of the person sending it. It also (and this is debatable) contains the one-line
Subject of the message. The contents is your verbiage.

I see you're using gmail as an email address, and from the contents of your
earlier messages, it is not clear whether you're using a browser logged into
GMail or an offline email client. I suspect the former. In which case, when you
click on the Compose button from within gmail, you're shown a window that has
the title New Message. Below that are two of the aforementioned envelope
fields: the To Address and the Subject. The other envelope fields are
automatically filled in for you. Below the Subject is where the Contents go,
Now, the Subject is important because it tells people concisely (or should do)
what your message is all about. Get it wrong and people are likely to ignore 
you.

One other thing to mention is the thorny subject of Message Threading: this is
the grouping of related messages and their replies. Now, Google likes to think
that every message that has the same Subject line belongs to the same thread.
This is not strictly correct according to the Internet Standards, but when did
agreed standards ever bother Google or Microsoft. If you start a new message by
taking an existing message, changing the subject and replacing the contents with
your own, your message is not the start of a new thread: it's actually another
reply in the thread to which the starter message belongs to.

So, don't confuse 'Compose' with 'Reply'. The first starts a new thread, the
latter continues an existing one.
