Re: [LegacyUG] Is there a way to change all the Census years to the actual Census date?

Re: [LegacyUG] Clooz

[mvmcgrs--- via LegacyUserGroup]

I use Clooz and have since it first was developed. I never used spread sheets 
(I've been collecting info since 1975) I used a colored coded filing system 
where each family got a color and was filed by family name. It took Liz 
Kerstens a while to convince to use a document numbered system. Now I would not 
use anything else.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't use the software to it's fullest 
capacity. It has changed over the years. But I use what I need. Yes, it is 
double entry for me but it's worth the extra effort because I no longer have to 
sift through documents to find the one I want. Plus I need to read the document 
not just collect it.
This doesn't answer the original question. Try the support on the Clooz web 
site https://clooz.com . The support is excellent.

the "Documents" section is a little sparse on details.
So, any perspective on what you find Clooz valuable for--and what you don't--is

Re: [LegacyUG] 1935

[mvmcgrs--- via LegacyUserGroup]

The answers received are what the person answering the Question "In what place 
did the person live on April 1, 1935" told the census taker. The suggestion to 
check the age of the person that the "Same Place" refers to is a good one. 
Census enumerators did take short cuts and filled in answers before hand.

Check the hand writing to be sure that each persons "same place" is not a 
mirror image of the ones before and after the family of interest.

Re: [LegacyUG] Surname Changed When Immigrated

[mvmcgrs--- via LegacyUserGroup]

Sorry, but I disagree with that statement. The people at Ellis Island only 
checked off the names. The names were entered at the departure. The time that 
Ellis Island staff entered the names where as detained aliens. The manifest's 
were made up at the place of departure so if the name was changed it was there.

Marie,

I would disagree with that first statement.  In my years of doing research, I 
have heard stories where the workers at Ellis Island entered names into the 
ledgers incorrectly.  If they were unable to discern the name from the ships 
manifest, they would of write down the names as THEY understood the passengers. 
 I have examples in my own family where a Braun from Prussia was listed as 
Brown because the person at intake determined that the immigrant should 
"Americanize" their name.

As for the second part of your statement...I agree.  I do believe that the AKA 
field i the best place to notate that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

[mvmcgrs--- via LegacyUserGroup]

I hope you are not inserting the the added information if it is not in the 
document.  The jurisdictions change over time. In the US what was a county in 
1850 may be another county in 1860 and still another county by 1870. The house 
did not move but the boundaries did.

My standard is:   [1. local jurisdiction/repository i.e.township, village,

don't have the information.  For example born in USA might be ", , , USA".  I 
know I have some research to do but I only record what I have from that source.

For folder hierarchy and some naming situations I reverse the order but always 
hold to 4 elements for location.  I don't believe I have ever had an exception. 
 I am sure I will learn about one here.  So far this works for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Here is a more comprehensive explanation of the update

[mvmcgrs--- via LegacyUserGroup]

What happens if you write your own sources?  I still use 8 since I don't have a

I put out my announcement super quick. John Lisle wrote a more 
comprehensiveexplanation of the update now that we have had a few minutes.
Legacy 9 Update 279Yes, we have been promising another Legacy 9 update for 
days... It is herenow. Yes, it fixes the Error 62 problem with Family group 
Report. (I am surethat many of you will be glad of that!)
It also fixes a number of other issues that you can see from the 
revisionhistory. I am not going to go into all of them as you can read that 
list,and most are self explanatory.
What I do wish to share with you are a few very visible changes.
First, we discovered that we needed to check all of your source records aswe 
were finding that many users have records that are missing a field neededby 
FamilySearch. It does not hurt your data, but it does make it difficultto 
transfer sources properly to Legacy FamilySearch and other tools.
When you open your Family File for the first time with this update, you willsee 
a display where is says "Checking Sources" This may take a short whileif you 
have a lot of sources. Do not worry. This is not changing any of yoursources, 
but, after it is complete, your sources will now transfercorrectly.
Another major changes is that, in response to numerous requests, we havedone a 
major revision to how we handle the various IDs you see displayedwhile running 
Legacy and that you add to reports. We have this project about90% complete, but 
it is so much better that we did not want to hold up a newupdate to resolve the 
last few issues as they are relatively minor. (Yes, Ianticipate some of you 
dinging us for anything missing; we do want to hearfrom you to tell us if we 
are missing something you think we really need!)
Before you start working with this new update, we need you to open theCustomize 
tool and go to option 8.2 and set it up as you want numbers todisplay in Legacy.
The Option 8.2 settings will now have no effect on any reports!
Option 8.2 has 2 sections:
"On Family, Pedigree, and Descendant Views"and"Show RINs on all Name Lists"
The first section, if checked, will allow you to display a RIN and/or one 
ornone of the "non-RIN IDs" after names in Family Viewm Pedigree View, 
andDescendant View .
The non-RIN IDs are: AFN, User ID, FamilySearch ID, or FindaGrave ID.RIN will 
be displayed in square brackets after a name, eg. John Smith [231].The non-RIN 
ID will be displayed after a name as {L8SJ-WLR} in curlybrackets.
The second section, if checked, will add RINs to Name Lists. That, ofcourse, 
includes Search Lists and Share Event with lists. It will add themto Marriage 
lists, Show Lists, Name Lists in Master Location List, etc. Andit is supposed 
to be smart enough to assure a RIN is not shown twice. IE,Show Lists normally 
have a RIN column; we do not add a RIN to them.
The Relationship Calculator has its own RIN control and that worksindependently 
now of Option 8.2. Similarly, Chronology View on its DisplayOptions Formatting 
tab now has an independent control to display BOTH RINsand MRINs.
Reports
All reports now have their own independent controls to determine what IDswill 
be shown. The number of IDs that a report will be able to display isdependent 
on what we felt was necessary or feasible for the Report.
All Reports will have an option as part of its Report Options to displayRINs; 
many will also have MRINs; some will also allow you to select ONE ofthe non-RIN 
IDs; and some will also allow you to select all of the non-RINIDs.
The display of the IDs will be done on a report with labels so it is clearwhich 
ID is being displayed:
RIN: [nnn]MRIN: [MRIN: nnn]
Non-RIN IDs:
AFN: {AFN: nnn}User ID: {UsrID: nnn}FamilySearch ID: {FSID: nnn}FindaGrave ID: 
{FGID: nnn}
This is the design. I am sure you will find a few glitches as there are alot of 
tools to check and different user settings may give differentresults.(John 
Lisle)

Gloria, you are getting some of this information mixed up. Very easy to do, 
with the way people talk about these services, and how they use them. Don' t 
listen to all that garbage! Most people really don't know what they are doing.
 
There are many different companies offering 'clous storage' services. Yes, most 
will want some payment; that is how they make a living. But you need to 
remember NOT to rely on the cloud as a safe place to store anything!! It is all 
temporary, 'in the clouds', and can disappear quickly. The best you shold think 
of these things is that they are temporary. When you need something quickly, 
they are great. But not a permanent solution.
 
No one can say that anything is better than anything else. Everyone likes 
certain things, and others do not! Study each one and see if any of them will 
suit your needs. My needs are going to be different than yours. What I like may 
not work for you! YOU have to decide.
 
You really need an external hard drive -- they are so cheap these days -- and 
even make two backup copies. You just can't be too careful. All it takes is ONE 
lost file to make you wish you had done a proper back up!!
 
Dropbox is for sharing files. Yes, you can put files there and 'share' them 
with yourself in the future, but that is taking a risk. It is okay for sharing 
with friends (I do that a lot) but the files all come and go. It is all 
temporary. Nothing is permanent there!! Keep that in mind.
 
You can buy some storage space on the 'net somewhere -- that is called 'in the 
cloud' -- and that is only as reliable as the company you have a deal with, but 
it could just vanish one day. Don't rely on anyone, other than yoursel. And 
even then, I don't trust my own memory, so I use an external drive. If anything 
happens to my computer -- and it has -- I still have my data that took years to 
collect. I can't risk losing all of it!! Don't trust any thing other than your 
own devices. These have been known to fail too .. so make two backup copies -- 
just in case. (You can delete one file later on)  Best to be over-protected 
than to have nothing at all.

Has anyone had experience using Evernote for their cloud storage? My genealogy 
library recommended the free version of Evernote over Dropbox but I haven't 
found it easy to use. I gave up using it last year, and can't remember why 
exactly. I rely on Carbonite for everything on my laptop. Is DropBox better 
than Carbonite for genealogy or anything else for that matter? I also have an 
external hard drive that I use for backup, but only every few months rather 
than daily, because it's either too old or I'm too old to figure out how to 
have it backup automatically. I know how important it is to have cloud storage, 
and would like it done seamlessly.

Hi Michelle,

 Where to start?
 1) Legacy Charting is still part of the Legacy package. You can't get any 
version since it was introduced without it. Initially it was also available 
separately which may be why you're confused.

 2) If you want to keep using Legacy 7.5, you can.  The final version is still 
available to download from this page: 
http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00899/

 3) If you've saved charts, you need to be using the same database when you 
open them to be able to edit them.

 4) Legacy is now owned by MyHeritage but operates almost independently.

 5) Legacy has a tool/module called Legacy FamilyTree Integration which can be 
used to link your people with the global FamilySearch tree and optionally share 
data either way. You share one fact at a time - not even everything on one 
person at a time. It's entirely optional and I often just make the link and 
click "I've finished sharing data". This will only work in Legacy 9 as 
FamilySearch keep making changes.

 6) Although you can search Ancestry from within Legacy (see Internet - Search 
Internet for Current Person in Legacy 7.5) there is no connection to Ancestry.

 7) Legacy 9 introduced hinting from 4 sites. These are MyHeritage, 
FamilySearch (only for those people who have a FamilySearch ID entered as 
FamilySearch hints to the tree and provides those hints via the hint 
connection), FindMyPast and Genealogy Bank.  This does not share data with 
these sites and is also entirely optional. It's automating a search. You need a 
subscription to MyHeritage, FindMyPast and Genealogy Bank to follow up the Hint 
results. However especially with the MyHeritage hints, they give you clues that 
you might find the information on a free site - eg MyHeritage does give hints 
from the FamilySearch databases

 8) more Legacy users belong to the Facebook group than to this mailing list so 
if you're on Facebook, join it for more tips and answers to queries with 
images. Images are not allowed on this list.

Having let my work go for a bunch of years, I recently discovered that all my 
family charts, with or without art and photography, are gone because Legacy 
Charting has gone from the package. So I have questions:
= Can I get the charts back by buying whatever has replaced Charting 7?
= Do I need to update from 7.5 to use it?
= I don't understand the Family Tree and Ancestry connections - is Legacy no 
longer independent? I don't subscribe to FT or Ancestry.
 
I feel like a beginner all over again. Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Cathy,
 
Thank you for replying. My mistake it is the Legacy logo NOT Ancestry. I do not 
have any ged-com files. Since I go between several different computers  I do 
use the restore rather than opening files.
 
Still getting used to Win 10.
 
Thanks again, at least I'm not doing anything wrong.

 Marie,

I suspect on your new computer the associations to files are different.

Legacy backup files have always been a zipped file and show the icon for 
the program that is associated with .zip files. If you haven't added 
another program this is a folder icon that has a zip on it.

Within that zip file are most of the other files you list. I'm not sure 
what you mean by the Ancestry logo one. It may be that you have 
something that associates a gedcom file with Ancestry and you have a 
gedcom in that same folder? I'm not familiar with the apps available for 
Ancestry. But it wouldn't be included in the Legacy data backup. Or did 
you mean the Legacy logo? If so that's your main family file - 
.fdb

You do not use the files within the Legacy data backup zip directly. You 
go to Legacy and use File - Restore File when/if you need to use a data 
backup.
If you open files from within the backup zip you create a mess with the 
file going into a temp folder. If you extract the files using Windows 
File Explorer or another program you are creating copies of your file 
that have the same name but are in different folders, that most likely 
will confuse you later. You use File - Restore File either overwriting 
your current file of that name OR renaming the file during the restore 
process.

I'm using Legacy 8 and Windows 10 home.  I had to buy a new computer but now 
when I backup my Legacy file it has a zipped file icon with the date. There are 
several other files with that family name with several extensions. The other 
files are: Ancestry logo [Family Name]8; [Family Name]8.FG;  [Family Name]8.SC;

When I was using Win 7 Pro and I backed up my Legacy files there was only a 
Name and a date not the zipped file icon. 
 
What am I doing wrong? And how do I correct it?

I have a woman who is listed as a male.  When I try to edit her screen the male 
circle is clicked and the female is grayed out.  When I unlink her from her 
parents and try to relink her as a daughter she still shows up as a male.
 
She appears to be listed twice with the same RIN # but only shows in the  Name 
list once with her correct RIN number. When she is shown on the screen with her 
husband and children she is listed (color wise)  as a male. Her parents do not 
show up with her when listed with her husband. When she shows as a child with 
her parents she is called a 2nd great grandmother.
 
How do I get her to appear with her parents as a female and with her husband as 
a female AND linked to the right parents on her marriage screen?

I also use  CLOOZ and have since it was created. I find it extremely 
helpful keeping track  of documents that I already have. And knowing what 
documents I already have for  a specific person. 
 
I'll admit  that I don't use all the bells and whistles but it does what I 
want. Another  plus is I'm looking at a document very closely. It's worth 
the extra time to  enter the information since it requires another look at the 
 document.
 
Another  plus is the time it takes to go back to a specific document. Since 
the  documents are numbered and I place the number in the detail screen, in 
 the File ID field, it is very easy to see what the actual document looks 
like. 
 
Each document goes in a acid free sleeve, in a  three ring binder by 
category and number. Sure beats going through a file folder  of documents 
looking 
for the one you want. My thanks to Liz Kerstens for  creating the program 
and convincing me to use it.

not sure which one of the many with the same name, I enter  this

It is very easy to import legacy people into Clooz and you can reference  
and retain their original RINs.  It is also easy to export the document  back 
when you find the person it is for.

Hi  Cathy,
 
You are  absolutely right. Legacy has always had the ability to cite and 
attach sources  AND print them out with a FGS. I was talking about 
SourceWriter. Having started  with Roots 3, I had to find another program when 
Howard 
stopped supporting  Visual Roots (Palladium purchased it in 1997) so it was 
later that I started  with Legacy. Tried FTM but it had a really high 
learning curve (for me). So  Legacy would have been the 1st or 2nd version.
 
With Howard's programs you could source as a  separate entry, day; month; 
year as well as city; county; state if all  found in separate documents. I 
asked Geoff for years to add that feature to  Leagacy, now I just add that to 
the detail field.
 
I save my  sources by person mentioned so if I have a 1900 census it's said 
under given  name first name - 1900. So if I make a mistake or leave out a 
portion of the  citation, ie line numbers, I just make the correction in 
that one source and it  actually changes it in all the sources with that name. 
It doesn't happen if you  are using the detail screen, that has to be 
changed individually. 
 
I use the  detail screen for something that would only apply to that 
individual, ie  SSN.

Marie,

Legacy has always had citations. I started using  Legacy in 1998 with 
Legacy 2. It's one of the reasons I chose Legacy  because it had better 
sourcing than Brothers Keeper that I was using at  the time.

I think you mean before the SourceWriter and that you've  stayed with 
Basic Style Sources.

You still have the same problem if  you've used the wrong Master Source.
Perhaps you mean you only have one  Master Source and everything is in 
Source Details.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Changing Master Sources

I couldn't find  that this question was asked before so:

Every now and then when  entering a new source, I forget to change the 
Master

Source and only  change the detail. For example, I may have:
1)Master Source = Death  Certificate, detail = John Smith, New York 1929, 
#25649

then I  change to a census and accidentally forget to change the Master 
Source so  I have:
2)Master Source = Death Certificate, detail = 1940 NY, Ulster, ED  76, 
sheet 
2B, line 68

Now I want to change the Master Source on the  second one to "Federal 
Census", not "Death Certificate" and leave   the detail as is. How can I do 
that?
I can't use Edit as it Edits the  Master Source, it does not change it. It 
seems I can change a detail but I  cannot change the Master Source without 
entering complete new sources for  the ones in error.

Help please.  Thank you,  Elsie

I should  have explained a little more. The male female buttons are grayed 
out on her  individual screen. Both she and her husband are listed as male. 
When I unlink  her from her parents I still can not change her to female. 
 
When I  click on her she is listed without her husband. If I go to the 
marriage list she  is listed with her husband, but both are listed as "male."  
Since he has a  previous marriage I can not swap genders.
 
She is also  now listed for the second time on the marriage list as "male" 
with no  wife.

I have  Legacy8 on a Win 7 Pro and am trying to send a GEDcom file to TNG. 
I picked 5.5  format. The family file that I'm trying to send is 5.00 mg. 
When I try to  import the file from (family file ends with .FG) Legacy to TNG 
(importing  from Legacy Family Tree> data) I get an error message saying the 
file is  too large and to download a GEDcom to my computer and then 
transfer  it.   
 
When I try  to locate a GEDcom file in Legacy I just have a blank screen

Or Legacy  could create a separate field for day, month, year, town, 
county, state.   Howard Nurse had it that way back when he created the ROOTS 
programs (in the  dark ages). After Visual ROOTS (when the OS changed from DOS 
to 
Windows) he got  out of the business. 
 
This has been suggested to Legacy over the years  but it's never happened.

Yes, one  document = 1 source, if you consider that I put all the minor 
children under the  Head of Household entry. I then number the document (in 
legacy it's in the  detail screen, under the File ID field), enter it in CLOOZ, 
put it in an acid  free sleeve and file it in a 3 ring binder. If I need to 
make a copy of the  paper it's noted in the citation which I can or can not 
list.
 
An example:
 
Template: family entry; p , lines , Enumeration  District , [city],  
County, [state], Population of Census; (National  Archives Microfilm 
Publication 
T623, roll ); Twelfth Census of the United  States, 1900;  Records of the 
Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29;  National Archives-Washington, D.C. 
 
Template for Ancestry: family entry; p , lines ,  Enumeration District , 
[city],  County, [state] Population of Census;  (National Archives Microfilm 
Publication T623, roll ); Twelfth Census of the  United States, 1900;  
Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29;  National 
Archives-Washington, D.C. Digital images, Ancestry.com, 
http://www.ancestry.com: [date]. 
 
Specific source entry: George E. Varrelmann family  entry 1900 U.S. Census, 
Population Schedule Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY; 178 Amity  St, Volume 64, 
Enumeration District 53, Supervisor's District , sheet 11, lines  72-80, 
dwelling , family  Record Group 29: Records of the Bureau of the  Census, 
Microfilm 
publication T623, Roll 1044 (National Archives, Washington,  DC)
 
My original  source follows the NARA format.

Marie, 
Can  you give us more details of your sourcing approach?  It sounds like 
you  are a splitter – one document = one source.  Is that  correct?

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Master  Source List

 

 

 
Having started using  Legacy lng before they had a source maker, I 
created my own templates. All  the sources are entered under the name of the 
person. If I'm using, say  the 1860 census as a source, I just pull up the 
template for the organization  that digitized it for online retrieval, add my 
specifics, and save it as a new  source.

Also  a lumper for most things with Source List Names organised by type.  

Certainly not a Master Source for every household in a census. Does  TNG 
really force that if you want to include the image? If it does, I'd be  
attaching the image to the event rather than the source.

No problem  finding the Master Source quickly.

I rarely need to edit source  detail. When I do, I know what people are 
involved so can find the Source  Detail on their Assigned Sources pages. 
However, it's usually the Source  Detail Text I need to amend as I've worked 
out 
another bit of the  transcription - and I use Search and Replace to do that.

Then there  is Show List for the Master Source to give you a list of people 
using the  source.

I was one  of the ones that wrote and since I'm still getting emails I 
ASSUME I'm on the  list or are they all from people who are still on the old 
list?
 
Confusing  to say the least.

I’m just curious about one thing. Thinking back to a week  or so ago, I 
remember one or two messages were posted from somebody claiming  there was an 
email sent that asked him to verify his email address (or  something like 
that). I sort of remember support people answering back that it  should be 
ignored and that Millennia would never send out an email asking for  
verification (I’m sure I got some the details screwed up).  
But now, it appears those email verification requests may  have been from 
the initial configuration settings on the new server…or not.  Just find it 
kind of amusing that it might all have been true to begin with.  Plausible 
deniability !! 
Just having fun. J
