1. - I think the real question here is what's the best way to fix a source? If it is just one source on one fact for one person, deleting and recreating is probably the best. But if it is a source used by many facts and/or by many people, just finding all the entries that need fixing could be a

[LegacyUG] Registration districts in Legacy

2012-01-11 Thread John Clifford
I don't know whether this applies only to the UK or also to other countries. Many of the locations in my family tree come from the General Registry Office indexes of Births, Marriages and Deaths; these locations identify only the Registration Districts which have names usually based on one town

John, In a nutshell no, although I write RD (Registration District) in full to avoid confusion with Rural District. Your best bet is to take the birth place from a census, or get the certificate. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: John Clifford Sent:

Just a possible idea, but if you just put the city name in the location field and RD in the adjacent note field, the geo codes should be found. Once they are found, you could move RD back to the location field. Jerry Ron Ferguson ronfergy@tiscali.co.uk wrote: John, In a nutshell no,

Jerry, I think I see what you mean, but the names of registration districts may not relate to anything so simple, for example West Ward in Westmorland. The districts often cover quite large areas and encompass several towns, many also include sub-districts. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/

I hope this isn't considered off topic as this is to use with Legacy. Anyone using Find a Grave for Legacy?? I am trying but it seems as if your names must follow strict guidelines. In my database I have added a comment in the suffix field for some. Such as wife of if I don't have a last name.

Sheila, This is the kind of thing that can happen when you use a Legacy field for something for which it is not intended. I don’t know how it might affect your reports, but using third party software and some of the features in Legacy will be impacted. A big part of my research is done

I understand why Sheila does what she does, but I put the Wife of etc. in the name field itself, not the suffix field. I detest putting the word unknown in the name field because I want to provide a snippet of whatever is known about the person. However, I can see the possibility it might
