Re: [LegacyUG] Pedigree Chart Sources
My last comment was not correct -- qualified dates are fine. However, there is more to this than just the birth date being filled in to stop christening sources from printing of just death date to stop burial sources from printing.

[LegacyUG] Pedigree Chart Sources
Printing a Pedigree Chart with sources, the Source Citations include sources for Christening and Burial -- information not included on the chart. I would like to print this report with only Source Citations for information that appears on the chart. Is that possible? I can go in to each individual and set the sources for Christening and Burial to non print but I want them to print on most reports. I do not see any other options.

Re: [LegacyUG] Obituaries
I think Barton is correct in thinking that the name of the state should go in the citation if the city is not known. To follow EE precisely it would be Troy (New York) Daily News. Using the place field in Legacy produces (New York) Troy Daily News, which is probably close enough. Repeating the state name in the place field results in the place name being repeated in the bibliography -- New York. New York. Troy Daily News. You might avoid having to use override by including the state in the title with Troy (New York) Daily News as the title and New York. Troy (New York) Daily News.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing headaches
Yes, I put Find A Grave as the website title with database and digital images as a generic umbrella for Find A Grave. If the specific entry does not have a photograph, on the Detail record I put: database entry for John Doe, death date, Cemetery, Town, County, State. If it does have a photograph I use: photograph, gravestone for . . . mainly so that I know I saw an image of the gravestone. The only drawback I can see to creating separate master sources for images and database entries is that you would have to create a second citation if the database entry is updated later with a photograph. The only citations I have for actual photographs I used Cemeteries -- Grave markers, . . . -- Grave markers, rural. On the detail record I put: photograph supplied by [in my case I am not the photographer] I prefer the end result of the second. For everything else (other than Find A Grave) I cite the original source first and the website of the image second. Now I am questioning my Find A Grave decision ! ! !

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart -- 3 generations with spouses
One way to include only the people you want to include is to tag them and create a new file with just those individuals. You can include spouses and parents of spouses, for example, but not children. On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Pat, It really depends on what you need this chart for. If you just need to print a reference list, here's a quick dirty method: Run it for 4 generations, with the data you want to include. Click to generate a text file (look on the right side), then click Create--it will ask you for a file name. Once created, outside of Legacy, open the .txt file using Notepad and delete the lines for 4th generation (children), leaving the spouses of 3rd generation. Save print. Like, I said quick dirty. Whether or not the result fits on one page depends on your ancestry... how many people are involved. The Legacy Charting method (mentioned elsewhere in the thread) might allow more shrinking flexibility. On the other hand, if you opened the .txt file in a Word processing app, you could change the font size there maybe fit your ancestors onto one page. Just depends on your purpose for generating the report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources
I had about 1500 sources when I started using Legacy. This is my system to retain links: (1) Add the source in Source Writer. (2) Link to the person/event. (3) Remove the old style version of that source from the person/event. (4) Old style sources eventually have no more links so every once in awhile I purge unused sources. This way the old source is removed at the time the new source is linked. Like you, I initially wanted to update everything to Source Writer, but that is a huge job. So this is the system I came up with to retain my sanity -- (1) I always use Source Writer for new sources. (2) I always add a Source Writer version if I am reusing an old-style source (in other words, I never link to an old style source). If I am adding a Source Writer version of an old source I do not have to convert everything from the old source right then. (3) I go back and convert sources for a person when I am getting ready to publish but I only convert the printing sources. I still have many old style sources in the database but the database is just for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Shared information
You are correct that you should not source documents that you know only from someone else's sources. However, do add a note to the citation for that person or tree detailing that they have cited actual documents because this speaks to the reliability of the information.

For instance, if Relative X provided me with the names of a new generation of grandparents and she shows the 1880 U.S. Census, Indiana birth records, and Indiana Marriage records as her sources. You haven't looked at those sources yourself and assuming you don't have access to them at this time, would you show Relative X as your source and maybe make a note of where she got her information? I wouldn't consider this a proven grandparent until I myself had verified sources, but I'm just wondering how you all treat this sort of thing. Sometimes, for collateral people in my tree, I'm not going to spend the time to look up all those sources. Same sort of thing, when you import data from another Gedcom, I know you can autosource each field with information, but that doesn't carry through the original sources unless I am doing something wrong?

Re: [LegacyUG] Two questions
You also have the option of setting the source to print or not print at the detail level. That is what I so. The master source is set to print. But when I attach it to the birth, death, whatever, I decide whether it is one of the proof sources that will print on my reports. On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 9:36 AM, Michele Lewis ancestor...@gmail.com wrote: 1) Is there a way to input multiple sources for a single fact BUT mark one as preferred so that if I print a report there will be only once source per fact? I want to have all my sources in there but if I have 15 sources for a birth date I don't want all 15 to print. It makes the report rather awkward. Even better, can I mark more than one source as preferred so if I am using indirect evidence to prove something then the 2 or 3 sources I need will print and not all 15? 2) Can I have two Legacy's installed on my computer at the same time? Here is what I want to do. I want to transfer people from one Legacy file to another one at a time as soon as I get them cleaned up (sourced correctly). I have 22 year's worth of research in my file and a lot of it was done before I knew how to do quality research. Also, as I work on each family group, I want to get all of their documents scanned and attached so that everything is in one place. I will be doing my direct line and their siblings first, then slowly bring in collateral lines. I CAN open two Legacy files at the same time but I can't display one file on one monitor and the other file on the other (yes, I know I can stretch it across two screens but it isn't the same thing as having two completely different files open). I could wait until Legacy 8 comes out and then install Legacy 8 as a separate program but I don't even know if that would work. I am sure the computer will recognize it and try to overwrite Legacy 7.

[LegacyUG] Master Name List

I am printing an Ancestor Book and chose the option of including age at death. I notice that the age at death is one for a child who died on his second birthday. I cannot find the rules for calculating death so I do not know if this is a calculation rule or if there is a problem with either the software or with the way I entered the dates.

The tombstone gave a death date and age 2 years, but I had a birth date from a better source that was one day different.

I notice that the age at death is one for a child who died on his second birthday. I cannot find the rules for calculating death so I do not know if this is a calculation rule or if there is a problem with either the software or with the way I entered the dates. I think with most calculators this child would be shown as age 2 at death.
