Trevor,
I transcribe all my documents into the "General" section of Legacy under
Notes.  I can still refer to the originals, no matter if I found them
online and downloaded them, or if I actually went to the courthouse and
copied the items related to my family.  By having a full transcription in
"General" I can look in one location under each family member and know
exactly what I have.  Then when I print out family group sheets or even a
book report, all the documentation that I transcribed is included as long
as you choose the option to include them under "Report Options".  The same
goes for "Research" notes and "Medical" notes.

Please, what is the best way to add a document to a persons file? It 
would be an A4 size and would need to be able to be read in a Book Report

Yes, I have followed all those steps. The only difference it makes is that 
initially the records processed counter gets a little bit further (ie another 
5-10,000 records) before the overflow occurs.

 

It’s no big deal since I can create my own MSAccess query whenever I need to 
generate the media records information I need. For the present, I’d rather 
Legacy’s programmer resources were allocated and dedicated to getting the big 
ticket items resolved, eg Mapping or (in the case of my submitted problem) 
Merging using Drag and Drop. But I’ll happily submit a problem report if 
someone can guarantee that this problem will be given the very lowest priority 

 

Cheers

Alan

Alan,

Have you done the things in the Support article for Error 6?
<http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00206/11/Error-Messages-Problems/Error-6.html>

They might help.

Also note that Support doesn't control the order of the fixing of bugs and 
don't do the programming required. So to not contact support about an issue

I include my file number in the description for each of my media files in 
Legacy. When I print a report, i will have to look up which one, I get bullet 
points of events with a thumbnail of the image and the file number as a caption.

I use Evernote and tag each document with the people it connects too. I find it 
a faster way to find all the documents and files related to an individual. It 
also serves as off site backup and I have access to it from any device. I can 
save files for off line viewing.

Gary,

You can get a list from the scrapbook for a particular individual.

It really depends on whether the media is attached to the individual or 
to a source.


To see all media attached to a particular individual minus any media 
that may be attached to one of their sources click the Gallery icon on 
Family View or their Individual Information screen and from the drop 
down list at the top move up to All. The All is hidden :( so you may not 
realise it's there.

Thus, what I'd like is a 'container/report' for Henry Brown (990) his
INDIVIDUAL SHEET, (or FGS) with all 5 of these documents in it.

The only solution I've come up so far would be to manually create a

You can create a "Scrapbook" (View ribbon) and include all graphics
you've linked to in your Family File. However, if you've linked
document files (doc, PDF, xls), those can't be printed ou.

Also, from Scrapbook, you can print a Media File List so you can see a

[LegacyUG] Documents

2018-02-22 Thread Gary Crull

I've been doing genealogy for over 35 years, having gathered a vast number
of documents - birth/death/marriage certificates and licenses, obituaries,
wills, probate info, newspaper articles etc -  some original, other's
secondary.

I computerized back in the dark ages of personal computer technology (early
70's) with an IBM PC Jr and a floppy disk, two if you could afford it!
Thus, NO availability of storing anything on the computer. As technology
advanced and scanners became available I scanned everything I had collected
to new computers with ample HD's as well as adding new scanned information.

I was a late comer to LEGACY having used 3-4 other software products that
went out of business over the years forcing me to upgrade to newer
products. My last upgrade a few years back was to Legacy (v7.0) and I love
it having kept updates to the present V9.0.

My problem, question??

I have several thousand scanned documents stored on my HD that I have
linked to individuals in my Legacy database. Is there any way of preparing
an output document that would show the individual AND any/all supporting
documents gathered over decades of collecting? I'm not inclined at this
stage of life to even attempt transcribing this supporting information in
to any templates available in Legacy!

Suggestions are welcome.

[LegacyUG] Documents in Legacy

2014-01-09 Thread robs_familytree .

This is not a criticism, just a question.

Since Legacy can read PDFs, why do we only get to see the standard document 
clipart in Source Media, instead of a smaller version of the document like we 
can with jpgs and other pictures?

Just curious,

Thanks!

I don’t think there is a standard Windows function for doing that.  If you look 
at Windows file explorer, at a folder with mixed jpg and pdf files, and you 
have in Thumbnail view, you’ll see thumbnails of the jpg files but just a big 
icon for the pdf files.



The only place I can remember seeing thumbnails of pdf files is in Paperport.  
So it is possible, but they may be using proprietary software to do it.

Rob,

The Legacy program includes an internal picture viewer. Other file types
depend on your computer's default program to view them.

I attach a number of PDF files to sources, but also when possible include the 
text contained or related to that PDF that way I don't have to keep opening an 
external file.  Another alternative, if available to you, is to convert PDF 
files to JPG's if it doesn't contain a lot of pages.  I just choose relevant 
pages for that source then convert them to JPGs.  Just a suggestion.

I think Dave thought you were talking about organizing your records in
general; i.e., in your filing cabinets, on your hard drive, etc. Perhaps
you were really asking where these documents should be attached in your
Legacy file? i.e., should you attach a census doc as an event or as a
source? I'm just guessing but that's what I thought when I saw him send
that link.

I'm interested in all of the above; I need to get busy attaching docs etc.
I have held off because I need to organize my hard drive before attaching
everything in Legacy (due to the other recent discussion about what happens
when you have to restore your legacy file including multimedia - the path
has to be the same for the multimedia so I need to get my files organized on
my HD and backed up specifically for that purpose before attaching)

So maybe you can be a tad more specific about your question? You will get
your answer eventually :-) Kathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Documents, documents, documents

2010-09-02 Thread Chris CG

Maybe this will clarify my original question:

When I have a new document, photo, newspaper obituary, or anything
else I find that might relate to my family, I first enter and
transcribe it into ByGones and/or Clooz and then cut/paste relevant
information into Legacy to create a master source which will be
assigned to people in my Legacy database.

My main purpose for using the additional programs is to record and
track things that point to people I can't identify - witnesses to
events, individuals or families with the same last name and in the
same geographical area as known ancestors, or other snippets of
information.  As I keep entering information from more and more
sources, some of those unidentified people start to appear more than
once and previously unknown relationships and patterns emerge.  This
in turn leads to some Voila! moments including brick-wall
breakthroughs.  Things like so that's who grandpa used to talk about
or Gerry and Jeremiah are actually the same person or I need to
find out more about so-and-so who has been present at these four
family weddings.

What I want to do now is move all of this research and analysis into
Legacy to take advantage of all the additional information recorded
there, and discontinue the duplication of efforts required to maintain
the additional databases.  I am hoping to get some guidance, ideas and
practical advice from others who are already better at this than I am.
 Since everyone using Legacy has to manage this same kind of

Re: [LegacyUG] Documents, documents, documents

2010-09-02 Thread Connie Sheets

Chris,

I briefly played with Clooz and Bygones many years ago, and wrote them off as 
clunky and unnecessary duplication of effort.  But I didn't use them long 
enough to know their full capability, so it may be you are used to some 
functions that just can't be duplicated in Legacy.  If so, be sure to check out 
some of the Legacy add-on programs that are available.  [I also still rely on 
paper files and my memory for many of those a-ha moments].

That disclaimer stated, here are some things I do that may be somewhat 
responsive to your question:

Legacy allows you to enter unconnected individuals and families in your 
database.  So, for my Hancock mystery in Southern Illinois, I have all kinds of 
Hancock individuals and family groups in my database that are not linked to my 
Hancock ancestor.  If I ever find proof they are related, all I need to do is 
link them to my ancestor.

The Events function in Legacy is powerful.  What I do, instead of entering 
those documents, obituaries, etc. into ByGones/Clooz, is enter the data from 
them directly into Legacy, usually as an event, transcribe them if necessary, 
construct the Source Citation, and attach a scan of the document itself.  If 
the document mentions multiple individuals, I copy the Event using the Event 
Clipboard, and with a couple of clicks can add the same info to the other 
individuals in the database. 

Once the data is entered, the Legacy search functions are also powerful:  play 
around with that function, and the Help files and Tutorials for it, and see if 
it won't meet many of your needs.  For example, you could create a report for 
all individuals in XYZ County with the first name Gerry, and another for the 
first name Jeremiah, and then be able to see if you have duplicate 
individuals.  Or, you could search for all people born in Illinois between 1850 
and 1890 with the surname Hancock.

If Events doesn't quite fit the info I have, I will use the General Notes or 
Research Notes screens to jot down information that might be relevant.  For 
example, if I have a Gerry Brown and a Jeremiah Brown and I'm not sure yet if 
they are the same person, I'll make a notation to that effect in the Research 
Notes for each individual, i.e. Is this the same person as Jeremiah Brown, RIN 
7644? and Is this the same person as Gerry Brown, RIN 2455?

Am I getting closer to being responsive to your question?

Connie

Subject: [LegacyUG] Documents, documents, documents

I have been procrastinating for as long as possible, but it's time to
get started with my fall/winter project - reviewing and (re)organizing
several years' accumulation of various source documents, vital
records, etc.  I know that there are many details that I originally
overlooked - clues or connections that I didn't recognize the first
time around.  I have been using ByGones and Clooz in addition to
Legacy, but the PITA factor is too great and I want to consolidate and
convert everything into Legacy.  Having bits and pieces in different
places just doesn't work anymore.

I've looked through the Legacy mini-tutorials, legacyusergroup (this
list) archives and the LegacyFamilyTree website but can't find
tutorials or best practices for managing all of the documentation
that goes along with family history research.  Since this is such a
big part doing genealogy, I'm sure that there is a lot of
information about it but I guess I am not looking in the right places.
 Where does one go for guidelines and help?

Chris:

Presumably these are digital items you're talking about rather than hardcopies. 
 If so, I have a totally low-tech way of handling them that works very well for 
my database of roughly 10,000--including a limited one-name study.  I dislike 
having unattached individuals in my database, so their records go into Stray 
folders under MyDocuments.  These are organized by surname and some are grouped 
into subfolders by given name or geographical area.  Periodically I go through 
the stray folders to see if anything clicks or if I can find new information 
about an individual.  Most of my strays are in their own designated folders, 
which also includes a Word document where I copy/paste discussions with others 
about this person or add notes about where (s)he might belong, where I've 
already checked, etc.  When a connection is finally made it's easy to transfer 
the pertinent information into Legacy.

Kirsten,

I tried that myself for a couple of years or so, but you must be a better
person than I, as it became a massive parking lot for unsolved links! I
found that I just never got round to looking in it. If it works for you,
then great, as you know I am a great beliver in each to their own.

My salvation arrived, at least for my primary surname when I started my
One-Name database, which originally started with all the oddments which I
had not looked at for years. I found it to be an operation which is
excellent for forcing me to do something with them. Guess I must enjoy
pressure!

 Maybe this will clarify my original question:

 When I have a new document, photo, newspaper obituary, or anything
 else I find that might relate to my family, I first enter and
 transcribe it into ByGones and/or Clooz and then cut/paste relevant
 information into Legacy to create a master source which will be
 assigned to people in my Legacy database.

 My main purpose for using the additional programs is to record and
 track things that point to people I can't identify - witnesses to
 events, individuals or families with the same last name and in the
 same geographical area as known ancestors, or other snippets of
 information.  As I keep entering information from more and more
 sources, some of those unidentified people start to appear more than
 once and previously unknown relationships and patterns emerge.  This
 in turn leads to some Voila! moments including brick-wall
 breakthroughs.  Things like so that's who grandpa used to talk about
 or Gerry and Jeremiah are actually the same person or I need to

Re: [LegacyUG] Documents, documents, documents

2010-09-02 Thread Chris CG

For me, it will be extremely valuable to run reports/queries, so a
database type of storage would seem to be more appropriate.  I have
been thinking about using a system similar to what Connie describes,
but am concerned about having perhaps one to two hundred unlinked
individuals, many small family trees, master sources not linked to
events (maybe not even linked to individuals), etc.  Like so many
other things in genealogy, it seems that there is no standardized
structure even within Legacy - of course the program's flexibility to
do things your own way is a good thing!  The problem is, when I
attempt to do/learn something by trial and error until it works I
usually end up with a system or method that isn't very good in the
long run.  Either I unintentionally overlook important details or I
fail to anticipate future needs or upcoming changes.

RE: [LegacyUG] Documents, documents, documents

2010-09-02 Thread Kirsten Bowman

Ron:

Yours sounds like a good method too.  Is your one-name database included with 
your main database or is it a separate file?

I'm prompted to look at my stray files regularly because there are several 
people working on the same line so I get frequent messages like, Here's what I 
found on . . . or What do you have on . . .  That keeps the strays from 
getting stale.  Our research area is also limited to Ontario, Canada, 
1783-1880, so that keeps the stray list down to a very manageable 
size--although we do have about 2,000 individuals connected to the main tree.
