Re: [LegacyUG] Legcy 9 Freezing
These are the steps I used: Close your file and re-open it. Worked when I
deleted AppData1. Close your file and re-open it.
2. Click on File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair and proceed with the repair.
If any error messages occur during the check and repair process, click No in
the error message box so that the repair steps can finish. Do check and repair
twice if errors are found. If the program works, you can stop here. No further
repairs are needed. If the program is still freezes, proceed with the
following steps:3. Reset your Legacy options. Please click on Options >
Customize and then:LEGACY: click on Options for Default Settings > Reset to
Legacy-Defaults and click Yes to confirm the reset. Next click Save.
LEGACY 7.5 OR EARLIER: click the Reset to Defaults button at the bottom of the
screen, confirm the reset and then Save.4. Browse to Documents>legacy Family
Tree>_AppData>USR on your computer and delete the entire USR folder. These
files contain user settings to customized background colors, screen fonts,
window sizes, startup family, report settings, as well as file locations, etc.
There is no family data in any of these files, so deleting them does not delete
your data. Upon start up, Legacy will recreate the files to their default
settings.

UI;font-size:12pt;}My guess is that you have a problem with one of the various
configuration files that Legacy uses. The best solution would be to remove
Legacy and then reinstall it from the latest version downloaded from their
website.
1. Make backup copies of your data base, probably in
C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data, unless you put them somewhere
else. You need to save the x.fdb and any other files named x*.*, except
for a x.ldb which you can delete (it is the lock file used by the Access
database that Legacy uses and if present it would block access to the
database). Also make backups of the media files, probably in
C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media. Hopefully, this is just a
backup you won't need. Remember your customer account number from Legacy /
About / General.
2. Uninstall Legacy from the Control Panel Applications.
3. Clear out any files left in C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\_AppData and lower folders. This will clear out all of the many
configuration and internal work files. It might be worth looking in
C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Log to see if there are any
errors logged. You might also want to backup any configuration files that you
modified within Legacy \ Options, these will be in
C:\Users\\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\Usr and named Legacy1.usr
to Legacy9.usr.
4. Clear out any files left in C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy9 and lower, just
in case any of then are corrupt and do not get replaced on an install.
5. Run an anti-virus check on your PC to ensure that it is clean.
6. Download the latest version from
https://legacyfamilytree.com/DownloadLegacy.asp#Download. Just take the free
version and use your customer account number to update it to the Deluxe version
if you need to.
7. Install the latest version. Your database and media should still be in place
and Legacy should now be working.

Chris

Yes, I try, where possible, to do that, but FamilySearch seems to want to use
the current name of a place, regardless of when the event took place. And it
sometimes has standardised on completely inaccurate place names, and suggests
"standard" names that would mean that a place would have to be in two or more
different places, none of them within 500 miles of where it actually is.
The German ones are particularly difficult, and, being unaware of all the
historical nuances, I usually enter things like "Woddow, Brandenburg,
Ueckermark, Prussia" even for periods when I'm not sure how accurate it is.
It does, however, mean that in Legacy, one can had 3-4 different place name
entries for the same physical location.
For example, I have
Johannesburg, Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (short form ZAR)
Johannesburg, Transvaal
Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa (short form RSA)
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.
and there was even a period when Gauteng was known as PWV
FamilySearch now wants to tack "United Kingdom" on to places in England,
Scotland and Wales, at the very time when the Brexit vote makes it uncertain
hoe long the UK will last, and it wants that name for periods even before the
United Kingdom was formed.
I'm reminded of the book which features Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat from
"Alice in Wonderland", only it introduces itself as "the Unitary Authority of
Warrington Cat".
Of course one can always record a history of the changes of name and
jurisdiction in the location notes, and perhaps that is the way to go.

I was sure I had produced a location list from Legacy when we visited the UK in 2005, and I wanted a list of places where family members had lived, sorted, so that I would have a list of towns. Perhaps earlier versions of Legacy could do that, or perhaps I used another program. What I tried to do this time, and failed, was to produce a list for an English country -- say Cornwall. Yes, it would be possible to produce a list by searching five times and adding to a list -- first birth, then baptism, then death, then burial, then marriage. I'm not sure if the search screen lets you search for marriage, though. So it would be marvellous if ii let you search for, and tag, any place for any event, with one search, and then print a list with just those. And then print the list in the order of largest place to the smallest The list I did manage to print was useless, because it sorted in the order of the number of blank spaces with commas, and it printed everything, with no selection. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog:http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web:http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

I don't think ways of addressing letters should necessarily be used for locations of events. If people were married in a particular church, for example, the postal address of the church 20 or 200 years earlier would be of little use. In the UK, for example, the street name and number and postal code are sufficient for letter delivery. Town, villiage and county are unnecessary, but are nevertheless of interest to genealiogists. I find it odd that in the USA towns, and even quite small villages are referred to as "cities" for purposes of postal delivery. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog:http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web:http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

If, say, I know that someone was born in Ohio, USA, I can enter it as Ohio, USA and Legacy will display and print it like that. but I can also enter it as , , Ohio, USA to show that the city and county are missing. And then I can have Legacy print it like that, or to strip away the leading commas. I generally enter just what I know, so I don't put in blank spaces.

Thanks, Jen Hardess Sent > from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 I think that is a left-over from PAF, a now-discontinued genealogy program porduced by the LDS Church. Early versions of PAF has four fields for place names, and tghey recommended that you use the 4th one for the largest entity -- usually country, and the first one for the smallest entity in the place name. This led to endless confusion. What is the smallest entity? In the case of a baptism, it might be the name of the church. So I would enter "St Meubred's, Cardinham, Cornwall, England" and the program would object that puncuation isn't used in place names. But now FamilySearch (also run by the LDS Church) wants "United Kingdom" as a bigger unit than England -- just at the time when the United Kingdom is threatening to break up over the question of membership of the EU. FamilySearch has also "standardised" on some weird (and erroneous) place names. In Legacy the choice is up to you. You can use the commas or omit them, and if you use them you can tell Legacy to omit them in printed reports. As far as I know you can have as many as you like. So, in the case of a baptism I could enter: "St James, Winscombe, Winterstoke, Somerset, England, United Kingdom" and Legacy wouldn't object. If I wanted to do a search by Hundred, though (in this case, "Winterstoke", there might be a problem if Winterstoke is not always in the third "field", and if that field is not left blank when there isn't a Hundred (as in other countries). But again, I think it is no problem for Legacy -- you just search t6o see if the place name "contains" that term. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

I have now put in a suggestion, and it has become even more important to me. Someone is working on developing an event-based research program, and one of the things it will be ab le to do is import people from a Gedcom file. Now if I export everyone in my Legacy program, and import them into the event-based program, I will not stop adding people to Legacy. So when I want to put more people into the the other program, then if the previous import was up to, say RIN 2864, then for my next import I will want the records from RIN 2865 and higher. So the range of RINs export feature becomes more important. The Event-based program is still being Beta tested at the moment, but it's looking good. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Different people deal with this in different ways. A lot will depend on which sources apply to your data, and how much information you have from each source. For example, if you have a very large number of families from a small area, you may want to make that small area (eg Putnam Country, Ohio) a master source, but if you have family scattered over a wider area, you might want to make the master source the 1920 US Census, and put Putnam County into the details. My own preference is the latter, but I still make exceptions for some things. One reason for my preference is database architecture, which is a bit technical, but still worth considering. Legacy is a relational database, and one of the rules of relational database is to avoid duplication. If you make Putnam County Ohio and Monroe County Michigan your master sources, then you have to enter the 1920 US Census twice, and more if there are other counties. All those entries take up space on your disk. There are 3,141 counties in the United States. If you had 2 people in each in the 1920 Census, that would be 3141 Master Sources and 6282 detail sources. If, however, you lump the entries for the 1920 Census into one master source, that's 3140 master source records. But if your people are distributed over 5 counties, then 5 Master sources might be better. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Ernie I use both Legacy and RootsMagic, though for different purposes. I use Legacy for adding people to my family tree that I'm reasonably certain of, and upload these to FamilySearch. I never download new people from FamilySearch to Legacy, but always add them by hand. I also never merge people in my main family file in Legacy. I use Rootsmagic for a rough research file, where I add possible and speculative links, and download new people from FamilySearch to there. for further research. I use it for quick lookups, as it opens in half the time that Legacy does. It also handles downloaded sources from FamilySearch better than Legacy -- Legacy does not handle marriage sources from FamilySearch very well. In Rootsmagic I use the Legacy RIN as a User ID (Reference No in Rootsmagic, so I can cross-reference people who are in both files. And Rootsmagic is also where I do lots of merging because I get information on the same people from different sources -- FamilySearch, GEDCOM files, other information people send me. In Family search there are lots of duplicates that need to be merged, WHEN YOU ARE SURE THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE. For example, when people are entered into FamilySearch from church records through the LDS controlled extraction programme, there are many duplicates. If a couple had 7 children who were baptised in the same church, the parents will be repeated 7 times. Sometimes it is possible to combine them from within Legacy, but sometimes this cannot be done, because FamilySearch does not always recognise them as duplicates. In that case you need to note the FamilySearch record number of the duplicate parent, go into FamilySearch itself, and do a Merge by Id. If that doesn't work, it is often because someone has given them the wrong sex, or they have been marked as living. If you upload a family from Legacy to FamilySearch, make sure they are not marked as living. For example, if you have a couple that were married in 1750, but have no birth or death dates, Legacy will show them as living, and so will FamilySearch when you upload them. So you either need to enter an estimated date of birth (I think "Est" works in Legacy) or make sure that they are marked as not living before uploading them. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

You can record it as an Event under marriages. I think there is a built in Residence event, if not you can create one. Each Event record allows you to attach address information.

No, it is the NEW Legacy version (8 and above) that by default installs itself into protected folders. I still have Legacy 7.5 on my computer, and it is installed in E:\Legacy\ with the data files in E:\Legacy\Data and pictures in E:\Legacy\pictures I routinely copied these backwards and forwards between my desktop computer (running Windows XP) and my laptop computer (running Windows 7) with no problems, just a simple batch file did it. Legacy 8, by default, installs itself inder C:\Program Files\ which IS a directory protected by Windows, and doesn't allow data files to be kept under it (as the older versions of Legacy did), so it keeps data files under the My Documents folder,.wherever that may be. I set up Legacy 8 differently, to install its program files into E:\Legacy8 and its data files in E:\Leg8Data That makes it easier for me to copy the data files to a USB flash drive to transfer to my Laptop.

One thing to remember is that once you have converted your data files to Legacy 8, you cannot work on them in Legacy 6 any more. So if you wanted to continue to use both versions, you would have to update your data files in two places. I think if you go to the Legacy web site you can see the different features of the different versions. If you don't need any of the new features of Legacy 8, you could carry on using version 6, and just install 6 on your new computer and copy your data files there. I never used version 6, but I have used 5, 7, 7.5 and 8. At the moment I'm using version 8 on both my desktop and laptop computers. I think the only thing that version 8 can do that the earlier versions couldn't, is that it connects to FamilySearch to exchange data. If there are other differences in capabilities, I'm not aware of them. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog:http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web:http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Barton I am not seeing your messages twice, at least not in ther normal course of events. I do sometimes see lots of people's messages twice, but that is because of a fault in my ADSL line, where the connection if often broken before I have finished downloading my messages, and it often takes between 5 and 10 attempts before I manage to get all of them, but that's not your fault. But what I DID see in replying was that there was also a reply to the group in the CC line, so check that you are not sending a CC to the group.

You can copy sources from FamilySearch to Legacy, but marriage sources no not copy properly, as they ciopy to the individual record, and not to the marriage record.

[LegacyUG] Problems with FamilySearch interface
When I go to Maud Wyville Rutherfurd LWQR-PW6 in the Legacy SamilySearch link,n she is shown as married to her father, her grandfather and her son-in-law as well as to her husband Arthur Miller Shaw LWQR-PWX. It gives me a warning that her surname is the same as that of her husband -- that is presumably because it has married her to her father, William Rutherfurd 9WPV-N1N When I go to the FamilySearch site, however, all seems to be correct. So there seems to be something wrong with the way Legacy is displaying information from the FamilySearch site. I'm using Legacy 8.0.0.573 Is anyone else having this problem? -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

[LegacyUG] Exporting from Legacy
One feature that I readlly wish Legacy had is an easy way to export a range of RINs.

The only way to do that would be to combine all your family files into one. If you do that, and still keep your separate files for each branch, the disadvantage would be that you have to update them in two places. But the advantage would be that you could add speculative connections to the infividual family files, and only transfer it to your combined file when you are sure of it. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

That sounds as if it is, or could have been, intended to create Tiny Tafels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Tafel Does (or did) Legacy have the facility to create them?

People may have their preferences about which format and technology they like to use for forums -- mailing list, newsgroup, web page etc. But they are all forums for discussion and exchange of information. In some cases it is possible to pick and choose - the soc.genealogy.britain newsgroup, for example, is gated to a mailing list AND to a web forum by GoogleGroups, so people can pick and choose which format they prefer. But Facebook, unlike Google, does not allow such a gating option. Some seem to be asking that Legacy set up another web forum, not on Facebook, but that would have the disadvantage of having three forums instead of just two, so there would be even more chance of not seeing the question that interests you because it was on one of the other forums. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog:http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web:http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

I don't believe it is possible to gate messages between Facebook and the mailing list, so they will have different content. I don't belong to the Facebook group, because I find the mailing list is a far better format, because it is easy to save and search for messages with useful content. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Does anyone know how to > change this option throughout the program and make it a default? It always used to say something to the effect that the person never married and had no children. I suppose the new wording takes care of those who never married but might have had children, but as you say, it also implies that they had no parents, siblings or other relatives either. Possibly someone pointed out that it was possible to have children by having sexual relationships outside marriage, but there are also people who DID have sexual relationship-s and had no children, so perhaps the "Never married and had no children" was better for the vast majority. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

I have been using desktop and laptop with Dropbox for the last few years years, keeping data files in the Dropbox folder on both. As long as both have been synced to Dropbox before you start using them, the files should be kept up to date. Unfortunately Dropbox will be dropping support for Windows XP tomorrow, which is what I have on my desktop computer, so I'll have to revert to my old practice of syncing the files with a USB flash drive. I do this with four batch files: dsk2flsh.bat flsh3lap.bat lap2flsh.bat and flsh2dsk.bat This means I always have at least 3 copies of the current file -- one on the desktop, one on the laptop, and one on the USB flash drive. With dropbox you also have 3 copies, one on the desktop, one on the laptop, and one on dropbox. The advantage of that is that the dropbox copy is off site. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Perhaps I´m a bit dense? Martyn If ancestors on your fathers side were married to each other, here could be more than one relationship. For exam[;e, if your grandparents on your father's side were first cousins to each other your father would be his own second cousin, and you would also be his second cousin once removed. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog:http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web:http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Not just a rumour -- it has already been announced that the Enterprise version of Win 10 will cosdt US$ 7.00 per seat per month.

Legacy is an app. An operating system that depends on subscriptions is, as I said, nothing more than ransomware and evil. It would make huge amounts of historical informatiion inaccessible. Picture this scenario (and you can imagine many others) -- your maiden aunt dies, and you inherit her laptop. She has kept, not only her genealogy, but otherr family documents -- her memoirs and diaries, corresondence etc on her computer. But it all becomes inaccessible. And that could be multiblies millions of times throughout the world. And what would happen if Microsoft went bankrupt? That is why I hope Legacy will continue to work on earlier versions of Windows. > Brian in CA > > > > > > From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] On > Behalf Of Wes Sent: Friday, July 22, 2016 8:18 AM To: Legacy User Group > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Register for Webinar Friday - Windows 10 Survival > Guide for Genealogists by Thomas MacEntee > > > > On 7/21/2016 10:05 PM, Steve Hayes wrote: > > On 21 Jul 2016 at 8:45, Geoff Rasmussen wrote: > > > The Windows 10 operating system is not so much a choice as it is an > inevitability.
