Subject: [LegacyUG] Probable Bug - Bolding Notes in Event Screen Someone else
may have noticed this bug, but I have seen no email regarding it. When
documenting a census event, I transcribe the census record in the Notes Field.
I typically start by pasting the text tab contents into each persons in a
census record. Then I Then I highlight the person whose Legacy Record I am
working in. The problem is that when I first Bold the name of the head of
household and save the Event, instead of Bolding the first name, the system
puts a /b in front of the name. After the name has been saved and I pull it up
again, I can delete the /b and Bold the name and then it holds. An example is
below: Text/Comments tab contains the transcribed Census Record for this
household as follows: Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835,
age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born
in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English; Elza
V McGINNIS, grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in
Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and
speak English. When I copy the text (above) and paste it into the Census
Event Notes field, for Eleanor McGinnis, I put in one blank line followed by
1) just as Geoff explained in his Census Event DVD. Then I delete the
semi-colon after each person's information and replace it with a period. Then
I hit enter and type 2) for the second person. And so forth. Before saving
the record I Bold the first name, in this example Elenor McGinnis. After
saving the Census Event, when I reopen the census event it looks like this. 1)
\bElenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore
6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother
born in Alabama, able to read write and speak English.2) Elza V McGINNIS,
grandson, white, male, born in July 1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri,
parents born in Kentucky, attended school, able to read write and speak
English. but it should read as follows: 1) Elenor McGINNIS, head, white,

“Each deed will be in different books on different page numbers. It would be
pretty messy to try and record a single citation for 20 different deeds.” What
if there are 20 deeds abstracted in the same work for the same ancestor? The
only thing that will differ is the page number in the source citation and maybe
the deed books – 10 of them may be in Deed Book A and the other 10 in Deed Book
B. That said, I do see your point about “one event – one source.” My problem
is that I find it rather monotonous to list events thusly: James was listed on
a deed on 20 Dec 1760 in Granville Co., NC.He was listed on a deed on 30 Jan
1761 in Granville Co., NC.James was listed on a deed on 3 Feb 1761 in Granville
Co., NC. I appreciate that Legacy defines events based on individual specific
records for an individual. That said, in the Register Reports I generated when
using PAF I entered the deed abstracts or court records or other sources into a
“Notes” section which fell after the individual’s primary family data (the
record of his/her marriage and children). I’m not sure whether I’d prefer that
level of detail within the report or in the end/footnote, with the event giving
a summation only. Barton From: Michele/Support

I’m not sure that’s right. PAF had fields for Military, Land etc. Does Legacy
not have those? Also, some ancestors have dozens of records in a single county
– e.g. in published abstracts of deeds. I don’t really want to create a
separate source entry for each one – I thought I would handle it thusly:
create a single source, leave the page field blank, and paste the text into the

I second Brian's comments... thanks for stating them so well, Brian. ;)It also depends on which reports you are going to use... and who will be reading them why. I don't think I would want to have to read end notes to see the trail.--Paula From: Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Monday, March 30, 2015 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] one source entry - many entries Jumping in here, here are some thoughts on why you would record each deed separately and how I would record other events: 1. Recording each deed separately adds to the chronology of the person and lets you see that not all their land was acquired at the same time. In a way it shows the growth in the family fortunes which gives a clearer picture of their life. A downturn in fortune would also appear if land is being disposed of piecemeal over time. 2. In cases where land is acquired in different areas you can track the migration of the family over time. 3. Census sources include details of where a family is living, in those cases I would record the place as a residence event since there is no land record. My practice, unlike Geoff's is to record censuses as sources for facts included in the census listing such as place of residence, estimated birth dates based on age, family relationships etc. Geoff records the census itself as an event.

If you have 20 events, all for land on the same creek in the same county, for the same ancestor, would you consider creating a single event called James Langston had land on the south side of Tar River in Granville County, North Carolina, with one source (the same book of abstracts) and the text of the abstracts listed in the Text/Comments section? Otherwise, you're going to get 20 identical events (except for the date) which say he had land on the south side of Tar River in Granville County, North Carolina.

McGinnis, I put in one blank line followed by 1) just as Geoff explained in
his Census Event DVD. Then I delete the semi-colon after each person's
information and replace it with a period. Then I hit enter and type 2) for
the second person. And so forth. Before saving the record I Bold the first
name, in this example Elenor McGinnis. After saving the Census Event, when I
reopen the census event it looks like this. 1) \bElenor McGINNIS, head, white,
female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed, bore 6 children - 4 still alive,
born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky, mother born in Alabama, able to read

1856, age 13, single, born in Missouri, parents born in Kentucky, attended
school, able to read write and speak English. but it should read as follows:
1) Elenor McGINNIS, head, white, female, born in Mar 1835, age 65, widowed,
bore 6 children - 4 still alive, born in Kentucky, father born in Kentucky,

There is only text in the Chronology Report. For clarity I'm referring to the
report generated when you click on 'Chronology' as shown in the Family view.
To Cathy: Based on your response, when I high-lighted the report starting at
the top and pasted into Word, the page changed from Landscape to Portrait (not
Profile as I stated earlier). BUT, if I high light the Chronology Report from
the bottom up and then paste, the page stays oriented in Landscape.
Interesting and helpful to know.ThanksFred

Hi Fred,
I'd never thought of copying the Chronology report and didn't know you could.
You can't format the names with surname first as far as I can see. You can
reverse dates and locations.
Re the reversion to landscape problem. I've found if I copy without the final
character (looks like a space but is obviously holding formatting) it stays as
landscape but you lose the tabs for the last line/s.

TMG has a slew of colors to choose from, for however you wanted to setup your lines, such as, non-related lines with same name, unknown lineages, adopted lines, lines from Europe, etc etc. In Legacy, I’m not fully understanding the coloring system.

I don’t want to make 7 projects because a lot of the people are in the wrong lines and I need to switch over into correct colored line. Also I have only the standard Legacy, I haven’t bought the deluxe, so maybe you can do this but only in the deluxe level?

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Book - biologic adoptive parents
Evelyn, I tested this out in the sample database. I added myself as an unlinked individual. Then in family view, I added first one set of parents, and then another set of parents. I'm assuming this is similar to the (if not the same) method you used. If I select the first set of parents on family view, then select ancestor book report, it runs for those parents their ancestors. If I select the second set of parents on family view, the ancestor book is for them their ancestors.

Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a mtDNA LIST of ancestors
Hey, Ron. I finally found some time to try out your procedure for finding mtDNA matches for myself. I have a very short longest maternal line, so it was easy to verify results. My mother grandmother had no sisters, but my great-grandmother had two sisters. The sisters show in the final results, but their daughters do not. I can see that an intersection of my (or my daughter's) ancestors and Abigail Whipple's descendents wouldn't include the sisters' daughters, but if I were looking to see who else was alive that might be carrying the same mtDNA as myself, I would want to include these daughters, and their daughters, and so on.

Just because an event happened during a marriage – why would an individual’s report act as though the event never happened at all? Whereas if it were added to the husband as an event and then shared with the wife – it would show on the wife’ report if the option to show shared events was selected. It would always show on the husband’s individual report. The behavior is inconsistent. They are both events. In the first case, both the husband wife are principals to an event. In the second case, the husband is the principal. Why would the wife’s individual report in the first case omit the event entirely? I don’t understand the distinction that because there are two principals to an event – that it is somehow not part of an individual’s history. During the course of a marriage, there are many activities that may be done as a couple – buying property, establishing residencies, etc. It appears that I am perceiving the marriage events in Legacy incorrectly and they are not meant for that.

That is why the marriage event for the couple will only be included in an FGR for them and are not listed as shared event for the husband in FGRs for any other marriages.” That seems to indicate that shared marriage events are basically second class events that do not have the same status as other events. I had intended to use them for events that both husband wife shared during the course of a marriage – ie, if both bought property together etc as that would help show the course of events during their lifetime. However, it really doesn’t work when none of those events will show on reports, especially if they had other spouses during their lifetime.

Using Build 439, I created a shared event under the marriage tab of a couple. By default, that would make it a shared event between those two people. The event will only print on a family group sheet for that exact couple (the husband has multiple marriages). One of the report options – event options - is “include events they shared from another person or marriage”. Regardless of whether that is checked or not – if I print a group sheet for the husband with a wife other than the one with whom I did the shared event – that event does not show up. The event also does not show up when an Individual Report is printed on the husband – again, even when the “include events they shared from another person or marriage” is selected. I’ve played with every combination under Report Options – Event Options for both reports – and I cannot get the event to print. As it does print when that couple is the focus of a Family Group Sheet Report – it does not seem that it is the option selection which is the cause of the print problem. I’d appreciate any advice on what I’m doing wrong. I’d love to be able to use shared events at this level, but not if I can’t get them to print.

Olwyn, I tend to have the first word in a master source name be the type of document... births, census, deaths, marriages, newspaper, personal, vital, etc. -- then follow with a location identifier, usually state for me.

I'm still perfecting my own naming convention and always looking to improve. The primary reason for my email was a thank you and my comment was only meant as a observation question. In the Webinar Geoff (and I love everything you do Geoff) had his documents and pictures in folders with country being the highest location level yet his Source List Name had state as the highest location level.

Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 10:35:37 +0800 Olwyn, The Source List Name which is what I think you mean by Source Title since you talk about starting with a place - which is what Geoff does - is just for you to help you find the Master source again and keep them in some logical order. If you (not others like me who don't know all the US States and Canadian Provinces) need the country to identify that Ohio is in the USA and not in Canada or elsewhere, then put it in, if not, don't. I don't start the Source List Name with the place at all since I have very little USA research and the place down to US county level is not so important or not important at all as that's not where the records I use are kept. I start the Source List Name with the Source Type and then mention the country or place later. The Source List Name is for you only unless you use Basic Sources and are very lazy and use it as the Source Title - in which case either your Master Source list isn't nicely ordered or the Source Title isn't properly formatted.

Love the ability to print the source label. Just 1 question. With the source title you do not precede the State with the country name yet you file documents in country folders.

The cite needs to be one where the author of the individual article is unknown. According to Elizabeth Shown Mills, the cite should look like this: Article title, Wikimedia Foundation, inc., Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org : 2014), specific item.

For those of us who enter the date range when we have it, now matter how wide, and then refine it as we gather more evidence, this sort of range looks just fine.

Personally, I would use Legacy export rather than GEDCOM. You could then open the exported db delete the parts he doesn't want... maybe using LTools? Well, I would at least look into doing that.

In the Gedcom Export window, click on Customize and in the Groups of items to EXCLUDE from Export section, select the items you don't want to include. On the main Gedcom Export window, click on Record Selection to select the Focus Group. The only drawback is that sources will be imported in the Basic format, but all the source data should be there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Global Master Source Conversion
So, you folks are saying that you're willing to export your entire database to a GEDCOM file to get rid of all your SourceWriter sources citations? (not delete, but convert) Why do you want to get rid of them? I mean, if the information in the citation is correct, leave them there, and use Basic sources exclusively as you move forward. ? Personally, I don't know enough about what other corners are being cut in a GEDCOM export. The definition of GEDCOM is pretty old, and applications have moved forward, trying their best to map back into it. (at least that's my perception) I would be worried about what else I could lose in the process, and is it worth that risk to convert perfectly good SourceWriter citations? Right now, I am using a mixture. There are now too many templates to choose from, so in many cases I use the Basic and just type in what the website said in its citation. ;) (Pat, there's a program someone wrote that reads through the Legacy database and reformats all the information into the record definitions of GEDCOM (an industry standard), and another program that reads the records in a GEDCOM and reformats the information to load into the Legacy database. A similar program would need to be written to convert things WITHIN the Legacy database, not using an intermediate GEDCOM file. The GEDCOM was developed so various genealogy applications could talk to each other... really, it's less talking to than translating twice, once to GEDCOM and then into the next application. Wow, I got much longer winded on that than I meant to!) And given their investment in SourceWriter, I don't think writing a conversion program to get rid of them is high on Millenia's list... they didn't write a conversion program to go from Basic to SourceWriter. (not that I think it was possible to do that, just saying) --Paula From: singhals singh...@erols.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Global Master Source Conversion Oh, it can.

Did no one look at all of the new statistics make sure each one was calculating correctly? I think Legacy is a product worthy of better testing. Stepping down off soapbox...

Re: [LegacyUG] Shifting Sources
I usually have the collection as the source and then use the internet source template (I think) to show the website, but I never use a link to the page or image (even when familysearch or ancestry includes it in their suggested citation). The only exception I have right now is Find-A-Grave - the source is the website. --P From: Jenny M Benson ge...@cedarbank.me.uk To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Monday, September 15, 2014 11:29 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Shifting Sources Well, it's not actually the Sources which have shifted, but the names of Collections change and/or Search methods change and I'm wondering how other LUGgers handle this. Here's an example which illustrates exactly what I mean. In the Good Old Days when searching FindMyPast for a marriage in the English county of Cheshire one could select Parish Records from a a menu, then select the tab for Marriages and then enter the search parameters. I set up a SourceWriter Source (using the template for Church Record Books created at local level, online images) called Parish Registers - FMP. I put the website details into the Master Source and entered Parish Records Collection in the Collection field. The name of the specific Church and its location and whether the record is from PRs or BTs and whether a Baptism, Marriage or Burial, I included in the Source Detail. Now the FindMyPast site has been completely re-vamped and the easiest and quickest way to find a marriage in Cheshire is to use the All Records list to select either Diocese of Chester Parish Registers of Marriages or Diocese of Chester Bishhop's Transcripts of Marriages. There is no longer a facility to search Parish Records generally. So, the question is this: would you continue to use the Parish Registers - FMP template and have any following-on researcher muddle through to find the same record which I did, or would you set up a new Master Source for the specific Collection (and corresponding new Sources for the Baptism and Burials Collections, PRs and BTs in each case and for each County)? And supposing you create a new set of Master Sources, would you update all your old citations to the new Sources or leave them as they are? I think I know what Elizabeth Shown Mills would say, but I am not asking what is RIGHT, but what do most people actually do?! -- 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).

(this probably should be classed as a bug) In the text displayed in the Info column for son and daughters birth events, the text specifying the parents of the child should include a space on either side of the “and” ie it currently displays, for example, “son of Thomas NorrisandJane Lambert.” Rather than “son of Thomas Norris and Jane Lambert.” (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 2. In the Event column, the event labels “Son Born” and Daughter born” should be changed to “Birth of Son” and “Birth of Daughter” to be consistent with other “Birth of…” event labels (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 3. In the Event column, the event label “Death of Child” should be changed to “Death of Son” or “Death of Daughter” as appropriate to be consistent with separate identification of Son and daughter birth event labels (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 4. I would like the option to include the Events “Marriage of Son” and “Marriage of Daughter” in the Chronology view (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 5. (this probably should be classed as a bug) In the “Display Options…” dialogue screen, “Include” tab, “Marriage Events” Section, the check box “Death of Husband” should be relabelled “Death of Spouse” 6. The order of columns should, as a minimum, be made consistent between Report Style and List Style Views (currently event and date columns are swapped around between views). Ideally, the ability for the user to select their own preferred Column order would be best, but short of that, I think the following order the next best solution: “Date” “Age” “Event” “Info” (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 7. In the Age column, the displayed age should be Right Justified (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 8. In the Date column, when the “Display dates with year first” checkbox is “Unchecked”, the displayed date should be Right Justified so that the years of all events align to maximum extent possible (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself) 9. I would prefer the tilde “~” character to be removed from the calculated ages in the Age Columns (both Report Style and List Style and the Report itself). That the age may be an approximation based on a calculation can be implied from the dates recorded and hence the ~ is somewhat redundant. 10. Include the ability to select a specific event displayed within the Chronology view and then open the “Edit Event” dialog box. After viewing editing the event and closing the “Edit Event” dialog, the user would return to an updated Chronology View (List Style only) (This functionality would be similar to that available in the Timeline section of the Overview tab on ancestry.com, which I like.) 11. Include the ability to select a specific event displayed within the Chronology view and then open the “Assigned Sources” dialog box to display the assigned sources for the selected event.

Wait. When I select Use list style formatting each event is numbered and separated from the next by a horizontal line. Not free form, but per the event sentence. It must be having the years (e.g.) in a column that you want--and they have taken that away from us. I'll bet it was so they could standardize always printing event notes sources.

[LegacyUG] Location list question
I did look this up in Help. I will submit a suggestion that the following two paragraphs in the Master Locations List help, say when the Show People box is checked and when the Show Map box is checked - it did take me more than one click in Help from the Master Location List window to find these... I was looking near the end, since they are the last two things in the window. To the right of the list of locations is the People using this location box. The box shows which individual in your family file are using the currently highlighted location. (If multiple locations are selected use Options Show List to show all the people using the selected group of locations.) Below the list of locations is a map of the current location. To see the map you must have Internet access and be online. See Master Location Mappingfor complete information on how to view, navigate, and print the maps. Anyway, when I went to Master Location Mapping, I found my answer... sort of. It says Whenever the Master Location List screen is displayed, the current location in the list is shown on a map in the lower half of the window. (Unless you have the Show Map option unchecked or you are not connected to the Internet.) I do have Show Map checked and I am connected to the internet (I'm sending this email).

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting by date of birth
Hey, Pat, I wanted to share with you what I just re-discovered about Excel: It can't handle dates earlier than 1900. I knew this, but had forgotten! I was doing just what I suggested you do, and I ran into all sorts of date format issues in Excel. *sigh* You'd think they could fix that, but no. So, I'm guessing sorting your whole database by birth DATE could get a bit messy in Excel. Or maybe there is a way to set your date format parameter in Legacy before you export that would put the dates in the integer format in the CSV file...? I may have just crossed over my techie limit line. --Paula From: Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2014 8:05 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting by date of birth Pat, What are you trying to discover or do?

Re: [LegacyUG] Focus Group
Well, this a great little thread, because it made me read all of the Help on Focus Groups. We can have up to 9 Focus Groups (or Focus Group Lists). I hadn't noticed the Save and Load before--perfect! (I will say there is sometimes a disconnect between View / List Focus Group and Edit Focus Group in the Help file vs. in the windows.) I still have one question, though, because I think it's true but I didn't see it in the Help description. If I have a Focus Group defined with the Add an Individual and Ancestors, when I add a new Individual to my database that is a new ancestor for the person at the root of my Focus Group, will that new Individual (ancestor) automatically be part of the Focus Group when I use it to report or export? I think the answer is yes, because I remember now thinking this is so much better than tagging all my daughter's direct line ancestors and having to remember to tag them as I add new ones or to reset the tags before I export, etc. Thanks, --Paula in Texas.

Re: [LegacyUG] Media - Source vs Citation
Regarding census images, I have chosen to set up my Master sources for US censuses at the county level, and I attach the images from all the ED's or towns in that county to the same Master source. Besides keeping the number of Master sources down, I've found that in many cases, I have more than one family (direct line and collateral) on the same page, so it's nice to see what all images (pages) I already have for the county. And you can see the image for any individual when you have their source citations window open (you don't lose that visibility by putting the image on the Master source instead of Detail citation). --Paula From: Sherry/Support she...@legacyfamilytree.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2014 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Media - Source vs Citation Ron, A lot of it depends on how you use Master Sources and Details. I follow Geoff's method... Here are some ways I'd attach pictures of various sources: Book - cover, copyright page, forward, etc would go with the Master Source Pages from the info that you're citing detail on would go with the detail. This would apply to genealogy histories, transcriptions (cemetery record abstracts), etc. Census - I put the enumeration page with the detail. I can't think of anything images from a census that would be associated with the Master Source. Website - info about the website (home page, etc) with the Master Source. Screen shot of the page with the data on the citation. Think of attaching pictures to a Master Source if the pictures apply to the source in general.

Just for starters: Some contributors refuse to make changes even when supplied with primary documentary evidence. Many people are linked inaccurately. Many are listed as buried in the wrong cemetery. Too many birth and death dates and places are wrong. Too many cemeteries are wrong - some people buried in churches not built until years after their deaths. Some contributors use maiden names and arcane spellings for names. An index using alternate names is MUCH NEEDED. Cemeteries cannot be search by town, only by name, so you have to slog through 20 or 30 pages of St. Mary's, paying close attention to the unalphabetized locations. Because of the lack of alternate names and difficulty of searching for a cemetery, there are scads of duplicates - most with conflicting data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - Find A Grave: the World's Largest Cemetery Database by Russ Worthington
Cheryl, After watching the webinar, I have sent several updates to maintainers, as well as asked them to transfer maintenance to me, so I can see why you see things changing--in the case of my ancestors, things are getting more accurate or complete. I think that as long as you recorded your access date in the citation, any mismatch found by a researcher who comes after you will be understood. We can only hope assume (?!) the updates are better information. Bottom line, though, these are secondary sources--always best to find the original if you are trying to prove something, publish, etc. I have been using F-A-G to claim photo requests for the local cemeteries, then walk take pictures when the weather is nice. Here in Houston that means I haven't done it in months, ha! I believe there is an option in the search to just see what's been updated in the past X days, too. That might help you see what's changed for your family's memorials. --Paula in Texas From: singhals singh...@erols.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Monday, August 18, 2014 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Wednesday - Find A Grave: the World's Largest Cemetery Database by Russ Worthington Geoff Rasmussen wrote: Explore Find-A-Grave, the largest cemetery database in the world and a must-have tool in your genealogy toolbox.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Quality questions
Cathy, The document was filled out by the father (my great-grandfather)--he was the 'informant' I guess. And what's different is that he said she was born on October 1st, while the other more official looking documents say October 10th--all agree on the year (1903). You would think 3 for the 10th outnumber one for the 1st; however, the three are really all from the same place, just requested copies 3 different ways times. One I found online, and the other two appear to have been obtained by my grandmother on two occasions when she was getting a passport. So, I don't think the 3 for the 10th can be said to be independent sources. Back to square one.

Paula, the document you speak of is the original but has primary and secondary information on it if I've understood you correctly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Stuck in endless relink loop-----was: Recovering after crash
Thanks, R.G., but I found it impossible to specify just plain C: drive in Windows 7 using the right-click Extract all approach. I ended up extracting them into My Documents, which generated the expected Legacy folder with subfolders Data, Docs and Pictures (with my own subfolder there of Places). I then successfully ran Relinker AND Gather, so now everything is in the default Media (including 3 files that had previously been in Data and Docs). So, all's well that end well. ;) Thanks again.

If you were to unzip or “extract” them to a folder on the drive then it will add the original folder names to that folder as subfolders. This is probably why the program is not finding them as now they are in a different path. If this is what has happened then just go to the folder you unzipped it to and drag those subfolders to the root C: drive or the original drive. Hope that helps, sorry you are having so much trouble with this.

Re: [LegacyUG] Prepositions for locations- Family View and Family Group Records ?
You're welcome, John! Glad it works for you.
At one time, I had been putting the hospital (births) or church (marriages) or
cemetery (burials) in the Address table. However, if you select to print
addresses, the whole address is included, which is extremely redundant in the
book reports. (I may have submitted a suggestion on that, but it was so long
ago, I don't remember.) Then I started putting the hospital, church or
cemetery in as part of the location--which looks great, but ruffles feathers
here. ;) So, if you looked at my database, it is currently a hodge-podge!
One day I will get it cleaned up--isn't that always our plan? ha!

Wow, thank you Paula! I
have rediscovered the Address field! I had completely forgotten about it as I
only ever used it a few times, a number of years ago, but did not find it useful
for my purposes. I did not even realise Address could be displayed in book
reports or Family Group Records. As you suggested, I played around with it and
think I can use it to meet my needs- to comment on locations, rather than adding
locations in the Address field. It
does not display in the Family View but I think I can live with
that.
I use another database for
addresses of living cousins, and it is very rare to get an address of ancestors
from hamlets or villages in Europe. Occasionally I get something like “house
18”. Therefore the Address field is freely available for other uses.
I agree with Paula-
software such as Legacy is to be used however one wants or needs. Legacy is very
flexible but all programs have limitations so users may need to “think outside
the box”.

There is a field in the tblLR (Master Locations Table) called
Preposition which can be set and used in reports as you described. There
is also a file C:\...Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\_AppData\Misc\Preposition_English.lst which is used by the Master Locations
List to sort locations. It does it by removing the words in that file from
the location, putting it on the end of the location name, then sorting the list
so that all locations that are the same will display next to each other and the
preposition tacked onto the end. That is helpful. Some of the
entries in that list are not actually prepositions. In fact, some of
the entries are multiple words. I think a better term for them would be
location modifiers instead of prepositions.
What
would be great but would require some extensive re-writing would be to have an
actual database table of location modifiers. That table could come into
play as a pull down list (similar to Child Status, Event Type, Surname List,
etc.) where you can select the location modifier to be applied to a specific
location field. That would mean that a location modifier key field be
inserted into every table where a link to the tblLR is used. The
preposition field that is in tblLR would only be used for reports when the
location modifier is blank. The main effect that a

William, You might check the archives for threads where these old locations in other counties or other states issues were discussed.

So, for your old WV locations, it would be VA--and aren't those just warning messages? And if you are trying to map in a chronology or something, I seem to remember you could enter it with WV originally to get it pinned (Geo Code database?) and then change it back to VA.

I always use VA if it is before West Virginia became a state. Once it became a state I use WV. I know those counties, so for me it works well. However if you are using GPS etc. I would put it as WV with (VA) after it. I don't know if that would confuse the GPS or not, but you might try it.

Please feel free to point me to a page with all the answers to my questions, of course, but here are my questions... I have my v8 database media file backups on external drive. Is my v8 customer ID the same as my v7.5 customer ID? (for Deluxe) Due to being an excellent pack rat (?), I have my old computer will be copying over most of my apps circa early 2012. Should I copy Legacy v7.x from the old PC to the new one (including database), upgrade to v8, and restore from latest backup? Or should I just download v8, and restore from latest backup? I like the simplicity of the latter, but am I over-looking something? For example, I seem to remember that the v8 conversion left all my photo files in the C:/Legacy/Pictures folder, rather than moving them over to My Documents. Is that an issue at all?

Re: [LegacyUG] pictures
Donna, Have you searched the archives? There were a lot of threads about relinking media and such right about the time v8 came out. The link is at the bottom of this email. --Paula in Texas From: Donna Newell djnewel...@gmail.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 11:51 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] pictures So far nothing is working on linking up the pictures. I printed a list of missing, 1188, and I can link them individually. Now that will take a long time. It finds the pictures on the other flash drive where they were associated with Legacy 7.5, it is still using that drive as the designation for where they are. I wanted them to transfer over to the Legacy 8 flash drive. Media Linker won’t link them up. Am I reduced to doing each one and having the media stored on the other flash drive. This does not seem logical. I am sure there has to be a very easy way to do this. Suggestions welcome.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart -- 3 generations with spouses
Thump on my head, Nancy--you're so right! ;) From: Nancy Stevens nancystevens4...@gmail.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 4:44 PM Subject: 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. Hope this helps you. --Paula On Thu, 7/17/14, Brian/Support br...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart -- 3 generations with spouses To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Date: Thursday, July 17, 2014, 2:08 PM I do not think that is possible in the chart. You cannot include the spouses for the third generation without also including their children. There is no fit to one page option for any chart except the pedigree charts.
