Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
Update on speed of processing MyHeritage hints. I left my PC and Legacy running 24/7 and in 450 hours (almost 19 days) Legacy checked 4,587 individuals for MyHeritage hints. This is an average speed of 10 individuals checked per hour although the speed varied between 0 to 2 per hour up to 20 per hour in each case over a number of hours. The advantage that I see in getting the Waiting list down to zero is that individuals now added or changed should be checked for My Heritage Hints almost immediately. The other Hint services are always immediate. There are now 2,860 individuals with MyHeritage hints out of 5,350 individuals. NB The Realtime Hint Processing Monitor is displayed by double clicking the 1 immediately to the right of the Show Bookmark symbol at the bottom left of the Legacy screen. NB I was only happy to leave the PC running 24/7 after I found the Windows 10 setting 'Backgrounds App - Let apps run in the background' and turned it Off (for all Background apps). No loss of Windows functionality is apparent. Prior to changing this setting I found that when the PC was unattended the Photos app was inspecting all the photos on the PC hard drive and putting them into Albums based on perceived geographic location in the photo. This was chewing up CPU, making the laptop hot, not to mention a gross invasion of privacy. The Photos app also wanted to do facial recognition on photos on the hard drive!

I was hopeful that the subsequent release of 9.0.0.318 would improve the situation but not so. Below is a support ticket I raised yesterday and the support response. I would be interested to know if other users are having a similar experience with MyHeritage hints and if anyone has any explanations or suggestions about this issue. (I have subscriptions to Ancestry, FMP and MyHeritage but the latter is very good for direct access to living cousins.) Regards Ambrose (GSV member) Support Ticket query (6 Sep 2019): Now that we have a new version :9.0.0.318 of Legacy I had hoped that MyHeritage hints would be back working as it did from the start of Legacy 9 until about the start of May. Unfortunately not. I can see that the Realtime Hint Processing Monitor has been enhanced with a Waiting (being throttled) column being added plus new or amended Help. In the previous version of Legacy I had to turn off MyHeritage hints as it kept crashing with ‘Legacy Family Tree Hints has stopped working’ every 5 minutes. This reset MyHeritage Hints and I now have 4574 in the Waiting (being throttled) column. I have had it running continuously today for 11 hours and the Waiting number has reduced by 87 or about 8 per hour. I am using a very fast PC and internet connection. At this rate it will take 570 hours to complete or 2 months if I leave Legacy running for 10 hours per day (despite the advice to close Legacy when not in active use). Is this the way MyHeritage Hints is now meant to work? The really disappointing aspect of this is that you don’t see the hint immediately that you add or amend an individual. It just adds numbers to Pending and then almost immediately moves the number to Waiting. It really is pretty pointless having a hint arrive weeks later with no notification that it has turned up. I took a MyHeritage subscription 2 years ago at Geoff’s special guaranteed lifelong (???) price to make the most of MyHeritage Hints. The subscription is due for renewal next Tuesday but if this throttling is the new normal I don’t see much value in renewing it. Support Response: All we have been told is that the hints may take some time to show up. The hints continue to work in the background, and when new hints are found, they will be displayed. We do care about your feedback and I have forwarded your concerns to our developers. -Original Message- From: LegacyUserGroup On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Wednesday, 24 July 2019 7:55 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage I check Hints frequently - and have all 4 types turned on (even though one of them requires a paid subscription to the company, and is no use to me). Of course, I have the Deluxe version, 9, latest update always. Over the period that Cathy Pinner has detailed, I have used Legacy at the very least weekly, sometimes daily and for several hours. I "refresh" the Hints, etc. In that period of time, I have seen MyHeritage Hints only 3 times. As someone mentioned in the last couple of days, FindMyPast generates them (in spades). Server outages, etc: why would anyone think that had anything to do with the problem with MyHeritage Hints? Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206
Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
I found Geneanet useful for finding German ancestors who lived near the French border or in the Duchy of Lorraine. In most of Europe, borders shifted many times over the centuries. Also, during the time of the German Holy Roman Empire, there were French enclaves and exclaves in German states, principalities etc. John From: Chris Hill Sent: Monday, September 09, 2019 4:31 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage It might be French based but it does cover Europe better than the others.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
A few months ago I thought that Legacy was importing links from Family Search and I asked how to turn that off. After I got an answer I found out that I did not have it turned on. I went through my Legacy database and unlinked all the Family Search links I had not added or confirmed. A few weeks ago I printed a 15 generation pedigree chart report and found many of the links had reappeared in my Legacy database. After thinking about it, I believe these are automatically made if you confirm a MyHeritage Hint request. It seems doing so for one person adds all of their supposed siblings and ancestors. Is that correct? Several of my lines are ones people are always trying to link to some famous people, even though there is historical documentation and DNA to show the links are wrong. I don't think any of the World Tree attempts have enough error correction and just present an opportunity for people to make conscious or mistaken links to enhance their ancestry. The ease of using the Internet leads many people to take the bad links and run with them. Really annoying.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
Hi On the very bottom line where there are the three people you can specify as shortcuts. Double-click on the 1 before the first name - don't think it is the right click but my PC is currently down. It will show you the stats and a few options. Does not seem to be in the help index, or not obvious. MyHeritage is Israelian, as I recall, and probably started with good European links, but has grown to try and match Ancestry. FindMyPast is UK based and good for UK information, and has been extending to cover the ex-UK colonies and USA. GenealogyBank seems to be USA only in terms of content. FamilySearch is the LDS site and is very strong on USA and Europe, and growing elsewhere, with the target of building a single tree for the world (which FindMyPast has also suggested for UK based on users trees). The other sites are obviously Ancestry which good for USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and NZ. Genealogist is a UK site and Geneanet is a European site. My biggest issue is that all have some common information and then each have different collections of various information, so you need to search through many of them, certainly in the UK.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
Chris/Cathy/et al, Curious – where exactly is that hints status info? Chris mentioned “right click on the 1 button in the bottom right line” – which ‘1’ button on which window/view is that on? Images are appreciated, even if not recommended on this forum… :) And regarding these services, who can chime in regarding their usefulness in certain regions, periods, etc. of research? I know mileage may vary based on your lineage and study geos/timelines… My take MyHeritage: Seems to be merged/merging with FamilySearch now… FamilySearch: I like the -XXX unique numbering system, and Legacy’s Family Search tool (accessed from the D icon) that helps manage and merge Legacy records with Family Search. I must admit, I don’t see many hits in this category anymore, maybe since I have all my FS IDs covered now. Others’ opinions? FindMyPast: Mainly advertises as UK and NAM, but I find most of my hits only come from UK. I need Australia and New Zealand hits also. Anyone got other perspectives? GenealogyBank: does show info in config that this is mostly American history for past 300 years (this is useful to know before subscribing). I do not subscribe to this service currently. I do find that it shows many hundreds of hits, maybe due to simply name match (no dates considered) but are these hits useful? Also, no Canada hits despite advertising US and Canada coverage.

The first response was that the Hints list is not the list of individuals in the tree, mine was 3,000 vs 11,850, but it is driven by the number of individuals that you have opened in the Family or Pedigree views. That has become obvious to me over the last couple of weeks and the list is now 4,187 long. The other response was on the speed in which they are processed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Hints - MyHeritage
Hi Yes, I asked the question about the speed of Hints appearing or not, after I reset my tree to reset the Hints list. The first response was that the Hints list is not the list of individuals in the tree, mine was 3,000 vs 11,850, but it is driven by the number of individuals that you have opened in the Family or Pedigree views. That has become obvious to me over the last couple of weeks and the list is now 4,187 long. The other response was on the speed in which they are processed.

It just adds numbers to Pending and then almost immediately moves the number to Waiting. It really is pretty pointless having a hint arrive weeks later with no notification that it has turned up.
