Re: [LegacyUG] Fwd: Greetings from new user group member and a question
*Emphasis: *Can I add the updated ancestry.com information to my present legacy tree without losing any of the information already added to the legacy tree (to do lists, repositories, etc)? * Yes. But the risk you have is you might have your family file just the way you want it. If you import a Gedcom, it can change the way you like to enter things. Example. If you import a Gedcom with a lot of prefixes such as Mr. Dr. Rev. in the name, but you prefer prefixes to go in the prefix field. You would then have to check everyone to get them to your style. A better way, I think, is to import the Gedcom into a file by itself first. Change everything to what you personally prefer. After you get it to your liking, then import that into your main file. This is what I do- often the file I am importing will have locations formatted differently, and I like to change them to my favorite format before importing. Welcome aboard. Don't hesitate to ask us anything you have questions about. **Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!

Re: [LegacyUG] Mailing list problems
*Can you make a sort based on *part* of the header? If you can, do what I do- have it look for LegacyUserGroup in the header- that hardly ever changes. Thank you. Robert * 2011/12/21 Bjørn K Nilssen b...@bknilssen.no I just subscribed tot his mailing list, but am having big problems with it. The reason for that is because it uses the List-Id header field in a non-standard way. This field is supposed to store a static field that should help email clients to identify and filter mail from lists. In this list this List-Id field is used as a Message-Id, and it changes for every mail. The last one was : List-Id: listid.LegacyUserGroup.102593264.mail.legacyusers.com but the next one will have a different number. Opera, which I'm currently using for email, automatically filters/creates a new mailing list for every single email from the list because they all have different List-Id fields. So far I have 13 new mailing lists, all with almost the same name. I've been subscribing to a lot of lists during 20 years (currently 40 + those 13 from LegacyusersUG), and none of them behaves like this one. They all use List-Id in a standard, static way, if at all. This list also uses the X-mailing-list field (correctly), but that doesn't help much when the List-Id changes all the time... I wrote about the issue to the webmaster (listowner?), but have not yet received a reply. I was hoping that someone here could help with changing the list setup? This looks like an interesting group with quite some activity, but it is impossible to keep on subscribing if it continues to handle the List-Id as a dynamic field. Here's a few links about the use of List-Id: http://www.w3.org/Mail/subject-tagging http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2919.html http://al.mail-list.com/s/al/m/als/l/7615-RFC-2919-List-Id-Header and the RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2919.txt 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).

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook
*I hope Millennia doesn't tell me to be quite, but that is my point. Facebook is not telling you that, JANE DOE is! Jane Doe is the source, not Facebook! I.e., I am against crediting Facebook because of this example: Laura Smith sees Uncle Joe's wife's Jane's birthday on Facebook. She copies Jane's birthday into Legacy, and sources Facebook. Ten years later, Laura's son discover the birthday is wrong by six years. Ok, who gave his mother that information? Facebook? Ok, but WHO on Facebook? Just Facebook is credited. Then the son cannot go back and check. That's awful and so easy to prevent. Now, had Laura instead said the information was on Joe's personal page, then the son can go to Joe (if he is alive) and get correct information. I said it before, and I will say it again. People's Facebook pages *cannot* be trusted. People will lie about their locations, lie about the birth dates, heck, even some of my friends have lied about their job on Facebook. I have a friend who works here in where I live and he put down he lived in New York state! You just can't trust Facebook data. I have gotten Gedcoms where some of the sources simply said Facebook Corporation. No name given to check verify those sources! No email, no home address, nothing. I immediately ditched those Gedcoms!! It could have been made up. Now I will shut up about Facebook. **Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources
*I think it is. I have some sources in my file where I indicate, From the conversation of Aunt Melissa's son, 1992. As long as they are his or her *personal* knowledge or personal memories conveyed directly to you, I would say it is fine. Personal knowledge and/or personal memories are master sources to me. On the other hand, when a person says to me, Well, Joe said his brother's son's wife's sister's daughter found out one of our ancestors used to live in Miami, I don't accept that as a solid source. No way to track that back and confirm it. To me, that would be more of a secondary source, and worth a note. To me, unconfirmable sources are not primary sources. They can either secondary sources or just notes. I have even sat down with a relative with a list of questions, two gallons of tea, a tape recorder, and just ask questions and let him/her talk, answer my questions, and usually I get a few stories in the process! Later, I get someone to transcribe the tape for me so I can a paper copy and a audio copy. It helps- if I later talk to someone else, and they wonder where I got that, I can show the transcript. I am VERY careful that I don't share anything accusatory or inflammatory with another family member.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual Report Format Problem
I would like to attempt to recreate your problem, but I have a question first. Does this occur for you ONLY IF the person has no events whatsoever? When I say no events, I mean **BOTH** events that Legacy supplies, and events that I myself generate. The reason I ask is I can duplicate your problem with people who have no *Legacy default* events. People who have events I have made up and entered, this does not occur for me. It seems to holding true just for the Legacy default events. Here's what I get: 1 If a person has a Legacy only event, the line appears. 2 If a person has a Legacy event and also an event I made up, the line does not appear. 3 If a person does *NOT* have a Legacy event, but has an event I made up, the line does not appear. 4 If a person has no events of any kind at all, the line does not appear.

Re: [LegacyUG] Request for addition to Legacy
Jane- don't forget we can add events/facts ourselves. Go to an individual, open him/her to Individual Information, and select ADD in the Events/Facts. From there, decide on a name for your event, say Possible Parents for example. This way, you can print your information without having to print notes if you want to. When you add an event, you will be able to format your sentences so Legacy can generate the sentences for you automatically. This takes a little bit getting used to, but easy to do.

My request is this: Could there not be a category (such as unlinked under Add) such as - Parent Candidate. For those instances where the parent is not known, I may have several possibilities and I should like my report to print out Burwinkle's father is said by researcher Smith to be Flabius Hendershot of Maine and his wife, Sarah Jones. Another candidate for Burwinkle's father is ... and so on. I should like to be able to see all of Burwinkle's prospective fathers on some screen, perhaps Family, perhaps Chronological.

I only ask because it is not the way I do it, not because there is anything particularly wrong with it - just looks a bit strange to me! The Help Files are clear that the long name will always be used on the Information Screens - when you think about it, it has to be so, because that is where the long name is entered. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: M. Brenzel Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 9:23 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Showing Short Location Names on Screens I think that I have found a bug. Either that or my interpretation of the effect is incorrect. Has anyone else set the option for Short Location Names on Screens on the Customize View tab? It isn't working the way that I thought it would. As others do, I do not use the 4 field format for locations. My locations contain the full address including names of churches, cemeteries, etc. Some users have suggested separating the number portion of a street address from the street name itself in order to improve sorting by keeping streets together. I sort my location list right to left. For example, I have the following set for 123 Main Street, City, County, State, Country: Long name = 123, Main Street, City, County, State, Country Short name = 123 Main Street, City, County, State, Country I have done that but I don't like the way that it looks on the Legacy screens. Family and Chronology views are good. The short location name is displayed. Individual's Information and Marriage Information screens show the long name in the vital info and events/facts sections. I suspect that I still see the location long names because those screens allow for the selection of the location so it displays the long names, whereas the other screens are display only.

Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Setup
Sherry- I used to have two monitors. When I did this, I would put Legacy on the second monitor with a SMALL window. Exit Legacy. Reopen Legacy, and Legacy would almost always open on the second monitor. Then, I would enlarge Legacy on the second monitor *ALMOST* full size on the monitor, just a little less. Close Legacy. Reopen Legacy. and it would always go to the second monitor. But, sometimes when I made Legacy FULL screen on the second monitor it would go to the first monitor the next time I open it. I had to teach myself not to resize Legacy once I was happy with it. I have heard of UltraMon, but had better use of it when I used both my monitors AND a lap top screen. Using it for just two monitors didn't always work ideally for me. Thank you. Robert On Sat, Oct 1, 2011 at 8:47 PM, Sherry/Support she...@legacyfamilytree.com wrote: I use dual monitors.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Size
Just wanted to point out- A LOT of people who come to me to tell me Legacy messed up printing their photos in their reports- often their choice of paper to print the photos on are a factor. Understandably- a lot of people will choose the thinnest, cheapest paper because it is more economical- but the ink runs. I have two papers I use, bright white for everyday printing, and double-sided photo paper for Legacy printing. If you have an Epson printer, I don't think it necessary to match Epson paper with Epson printers, just a paper you personally like and are happy with the results. Ask your store for paper samples, and try different brands out. Thanks.

But what I was asking about was the editing process of the photos before I put them into Legacy. Is there a best physical size such as 2” x 3” for example, to shoot for as a standard during the photo editing outside Legacy? Same question for photo resolution? I’m just trying to get a better understanding of how Legacy handles the pictures. I realize that it will probably use compression of some sort on the photo in sizing it for the Legacy picture box options. In playing around with Legacy in the area that you described as far as the optional sizes in the reports, I had mixed results as far as picture quality. As an example, throwing in an 8x10, 300 dpi original really didn’t look very good as far as photo quality for the report set at the large format. Medium was a better, with small as the best visually. So that is why I was asking what you folks that have used Legacy for some time might have found as the optimum size for your photo editing in prepping them for Legacy. Thanks, Chuck Robert E.

Re: [LegacyUG] New buttons?
I see your point. I use the numbers to quickly tell me my interest in the individual I am examining. But since the numbers range from zero to three, I think the original intention of the ancestor number was someting like this: 0: No interest 1: Low interest 2: Medium interest 3: High interest I use those numbers to help me in the search section to compile a list of people for which I have an particular interest in researching at a historical society I can print the list before going there. At first, I thought numbers should range from zero to twenty, or zero to ten, to more accurately indicate my interest, since using this I like it. So basically, I personally use it to indicate my current research interest level of that person. Thank you. Robert On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 11:46 PM, hwedhlor hwedh...@cox.net wrote: I would suggest that if the buttons are to indicate the user's level of interest it would be better if the most interest were indicated by the number 1, and lesser interest by higher numbers. My reasoning is that the number display shows only a single number, so unless they scroll through the entire list of numbers, the user doesn't know if there are 3, 10, or 98 numbers available to scale interest level. If the highest level of interest is 1, then everything else is less. If the highest level of interest is something higher the viewer has nothing to compare the displayed number with, and as the highest level of interest is always the most important level, the number 1 is the logical choice for that award in a system that does not display all levels available, along with a legend explaining the meaning of the applied numeric values.

[LegacyUG] Name Change (not by marriage)
Not to open a can of worms, but I have a related question. This is not a gender changing, but a gender-name changing. I.e. I have an ancestor born as Mark Paul Carneal. He decided Mark was too common a name, so he changed to a gender neutral name. He changed his name to Kelly Jessie Carneal. Everyone who didn't know him assumed he was a girl! Now my question, is there a way to indicate a name change in Legacy so that notes referring to him *before* his name change used Mark Paul, but notes referring to him *after* his name change uses Kelly Jessie? I doubt it, at least not one I could find. Anyone else? Thank you.

[LegacyUG] AKA/Nickname problem
I swore this would never happen. I finally found some ancestors for whom have more than one AKA or more than one Nickname. How best to handle that in the name fields? Just pick the one I think was his/her most used AKA and run with that? I surely can't do this: Robert Robby Bobby Bob Rob Gene Eugene For the first name field. Reports would not interpret that correctly. Just choose one, say Bobby and run with that? So that it looks like: Robert Bobby in the first name field? And that way, Bobby would get used in reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcewriter
Do you have copy of Elizabeth Shown Mills's Evidence Explained? SourceWriter is largely based on that book. As helpful as SourceWriter is to me, I find myself reading the book for a better understanding. SourceWriter is a template driven sourcing system that makes it easy for you to select the correct input screen so that you enter all the pieces needed to correctly cite any source of information in the thousands of formats that exist for them. The information you enter is correctly and precisely formatted to match the genealogy industry standards for source citations. SourceWriter allows the user to simply enter complete details about a source, without having to resort to the book to get the proper format. If you wish, you can stop using SourceWriter. I am assuming you have just one or two sources you made using Sourcewriter, just a few anyway? If you no longer wanted them, what I would do is write them down. And delete them. Then re-enter them using the simple sourcing system. Professional biographers and genealogist will note much more information in their sources than most people who want to use just the simple source system ever will. I changed all my sources over to SourceWriter, and it was a long task. I am glad I did. But I referred to Evidence Explained quite a bit. Thank you.

Not really. But you can have different colors on ancestors. I.e., you paternal grandfather's ancestors are *coded* one color, paternal grandmother's ancestors are coded another color, maternal grandfather's ancestors another color, and maternal grandmother's ancestors are yet another color. This isn't what you asked, but would it do the job? Mary E.V. Hill suggested the following: Grandfather's lineage on your father's side: BLUE Grandmother's lineage on your father's side: GREEN Grandfather's lineage on your mother's side: RED Grandmother's lineage on your mother's side: YELLOW See Legacy Help, by searching for Mary Hill colors. -OR- Use Legacy Help and search for Custom Box Colors. This might be closer to what you want. Male / Female Colors Uses two colors when printing reports, one for male names and the other for female names. To change the text color: 3. Click on either the Male Text Color or Female Text Color button. This brings up the Color window. 4. Click on the color you want for your text and then click the OK button.

Re: [LegacyUG] TO DO List
I do that, but I used eight colors. What I do is save the list in text, and import it to Excel, and color the cells to indicate which one is related to which of my great-grandparents. I can't supply a graphic example here, but I will try a text example. My list might look like this: RED ORANGE 1995-07-20 Photo James's headstone BLUE BLUE 1994-09-20 Kathy's War presentation, Nashville, TN GREEN BLACK 2009-07-22 Search for cemetery of the sister of Joshua. Wear snake protection!! And so on. The first box tells me which great-grandparent the person is related to, and the second box is my code of how 'urgent' this is. Takes some getting used to, but works well for me. During a family reunion, the color will tell me right away the questions I want to explore. Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Choose branch of tree
It is. Select the oldest person in that branch, go to File, and: 1 Right click. This brings up advanced tagging. This allows yhou to select who you want to break off (i.e., export). 2 Tag #3, and click descendents. 3 Brings up another window- select the number of generations. Since I usually don't know how many generations that will be, I keep mine 999. Some users limit that just a few generations. 4 Select the first option, Descendents. 5 It also defaults to All spouses. Therefore, if your ancestor married twenty times, there will be twenty spouses for him/her. If you want just ONE spouse, indicate that right in this box. 6 Click OK. Click Close. 7 Under FILE, click Export to family file. (I am assuming you want a Legacy file!) 8 Find the option All records with an individual tag of: and click it. 9 Select tag # 3. (These are the descendents you wanted.) 10 Select the options under this option. The export all spouses, export all children, export parents of tagged individuals. 11 Click start the export. Now you will have a file of your branch. Once you do this once or twice, it really is faster than going to genopro. Good luck. Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] RE: township and cemeteries
Here's what I do: United States Colonies, Virginia, , Moorefield I like listing country, state, county, city, but I do understand not everyone likes that. This won't serve everyone, but it serves me pretty well. If I know the county, I include it. (Some towns were not in a county- just the territory.)

Gene At 03:08 PM 1/20/2011, you wrote: I've exported LATI and LONG in 7.4 before. (I've not upgraded to 7.5 yet) To clarify, are you saying the LATI and LONG options do not appear in the customize options, or that the actual GEDCOM you've exported does not contain those tags? If it's just that they do not appear in the customize options (I don't remember if I've ever looked for these tags specifically), try adding a tag that might include them, or may sure you don't have one or more of the EXCLUDE options checked that would suppress them. I'm not in front of my data right now, but IIRC, Legacy does not support the 5.5.1 GEDCOM specs (which has a PLAC structure), only 5.5 (which does not). As such, Legacy produces their own custom tag, _PLAC_DEFN, and the LATI and LONG get nested inside of that structure. So turning on places (or not excluding them) may help.

[LegacyUG] Agriculture template in Legacy - suggestion
Not perfect, but I used the Census template as a basis for making my own Agriculture template. You can do this by: 1 Go to Sources 2 Select Add a new source 3 Enter Agriculture as your template name. It will warn you it didn't find it, but that's fine- you just want the name entered. 4 Country = United States 5 Type of Census Record = Federal Census (Not exact, but close) 6 Year = 1850 Population (Again, not exact either, but close enough.) make the Census template work. 7 Medium = Online Images. Will that work for you?

Re: [LegacyUG] enhancement suggestion
I made an event for this. I titled it Headstone GPS. I set the sentence to read: His headstone is in Arlington Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia. The stone's coordinates are 38 57' 23.86N 077 10'47.77W.

Re: [LegacyUG] What are the pros and cons of splitting or lumping facts?
This is just me, but in my case, lumping developed some sources I meant to get rid of. After a few months, I ended up taking a day and going through my sources to get rid of the ones I no longer wanted. Would splitting have prevented those unwanted sources? I would like to think so; I am not sure. I have been a BIG lumper for years. Robert On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 3:51 PM, James Cook jc1...@gmail.com wrote: Not talking sources here. I've not been consistent, and am working on doing some cleanup of my data. For example, it's important to me to keep track at an event level of an individuals appearance on the census register. I use a census event, but a residence event would serve my purposes just as well. As long as I have an event every 10 years I can see in my time lines and such, I'm good. The census can give more information though, such as birth or alt. birth, name or alt name, occupation, veteran status, etc. Some times I've added separate facts and sourced with the census record, other times I just add notes to the census event. This is true of various sources, I'm just using census as an example here. I'm leaning toward lumping what I'll call these secondary facts in the notes going forward with my cleanup. Before doing so, I was wondering if I'd cut myself off from some useful ways to slice, dice, chop, mesh, share, search or otherwise much with my data. Maybe I'm not seeing a downside here that I should be.

You can put anything you want to, but Legacy won't be able to calculate ages from that if that is important to you. If they were very young, put down Before date. date would be equal to one year after birth. If they were born July 1, 1955, put down Before July 1, 1956 as the death date.
