Re: [LegacyUG] Sources - MLA format available?

The SourceWriter is based on Elizabeth Shown Mills sourcing models and she follows the Chicago Manual of Style with some tweaking for US National Archives citation style and by providing models for more sources used by genealogists. So to follow other sourcing styles, using the Basic style

Thank you very much Michele. I remember using this years ago, but had since forgotten about it, and your tip prompted me to do as you suggested on my big Leavitt db file (186k records), using Find Duplicates - Special Duplicates Searches tab, and was surprised to see 80 hits! I didn't want to

Re: [LegacyUG] Find A Grave Link

The FAG search function leaves much to be desired. It needs an alternative index of surnames in which a search for a last name variant links to the same person. Who ever contributes the memorial can choose only one name variant - with or without the "de", "van", "von", etc., to say nothing of

Re: [LegacyUG] Date display in chart

Hi all, In readying my extended-family tree for copying and distribution at an upcoming major reunion, I've decided it would be best to show birth years but refrain from showing full dates. Is there a way in Legacy to enter a full date into the database, but specify that only the year will be

Hi Howland. If you have a somewhat unusual surname, it is sometimes better if you only search the surname. Then you can scroll the hits, and possibly see what might be a match for your subject. Just a thought. On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 12:08 PM, Howland Davis via LegacyUserGroup <

Howland, The Find A Grave search algorithm only matches on EXACT equals. When I get No Records Found I click on the Refine Last Search option in the left column and modify the fields used in the initial attempt. I've found that Middle Names cause many of my misses. Also adding Location Details

Howland, Right now the match has to be exact. There is a suggestion in the queue for the programmers to consider to add a "fuzzy" search which will pick up close matches. It is common to have more information than Find A Grave does or slightly different information. Michele Simmons Lewis, CG
