[LegacyUG] spam

2011-05-22 Thread Randy Clark
Hadn't quite finished my first cup of coffee and absent-mindedly clicked the link to the spam sent by Linda Hawkins (she's on Facebook). What motivates these people and can they be successfully transferred out of the Legacy User Group universe? Randy Legacy User Group guidelines:

Randy, These spam emails are usually because an address book has been hijacked, and not necessarily that of the person from whom the spam purports to come. So “taking them out of the Legacy User Group universe” will not necessarily make any difference. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/

I'm on a roll to clean up my sources! I have a question about entering data for census. I've seen in a few examples that the data from the census line is typed into the census event field (e.g. BROWN, David, w, m, 33, etc.) Why is it typed here and why wouldn't this be typed into the detail

Julia: As with many things in Legacy, it's your choice whether to put data in Events, Source Detail, or both. I do transcribe the whole family's census listing into the source citation because I want it to appear in the Source Notes. With the report format that I use most, Event information

I do it in the Event because I want to see it faster.  I use Legacy as a database more than something that will later print out reports. When the source detail notes have the information, I have to do so many more clicks to see the information. Lisa Gorrell California On Sun, May 22, 2011 at
