Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates

I whole heartily agree with JTF. It is not that uncommon to have more than one child with the same name in the 17, 18, and early 1900's. One child might have died as an infant or at a very early age and the next child (son or daughter as the case might be) will be given the same name. Which

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates

A quick caution with duplicate children - some duplicates are real. For example, when the first name dies an infant, the name might be reused with a later child. Otherwise merge them is the better option since it gives you an opportunity to collect all information fields vs. deleting a person and

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates in charts

In a descendant chart, when you have a duplicated line of descent, selecting "show duplicates" will produce a chart with all of those descendants duplicated under the appropriate marriages. When you UN-select "show duplicates", one of those marriages will have the word "(duplicated)" inside

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Hi Barbara, In regard to the question about upgrading to Windows 10 (or not), you may find it helpful to read this article I saw the other day - https://askleo.com/should-i-upgrade-to-windows-10/ I find that Leo Notenboom (of the site "Ask Leo") writes plainly and sensibly, and has a skill at

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Brian, I used the tool to set relationships (it's actually my husband's line, so I set him as the starting person). But I do not see a + sign to right click on. I am looking on the Family screen; should I be somewhere else? On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 12:06 PM, Brian/Support

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Okay, I went to the "loop" that I know is right, and even there, there is no + sign next to the relationship, above the name. Is it possible that it is because I am using Legacy 6.0? Also, I fear it is more involved than just multiple relationships...there are several cases, and they are being

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Okay, thank you. I have used the Relationship Calculator many times in 6.0, but never thought to use it to research a looping problem. I was new to Legacy when the first update came after 6.0. Some of the technical "talk" on the user group scared me off--I was barely understanding 6.0, without

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Barbara, The default location for Legacy 8 data is in your Documents folder /Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Data You can keep it wherever you like but it would be best NOT to keep it in C:\Legacy\Data with your Legacy 6 data files 1) so you aren't confused which files are Legacy 6 format and

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

One question already: in 6.0, all the data is stored in the Legacy folder, which on my computer resides directly on C:\. Is that also where the data is stored (default) on 8? If I wanted to go cold turkey from 6 to 8, do I download 8 from the website, or do I have to buy it? Once installed, can

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

I've just updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. Seems to me much like Windows 7 with the Start Menu back to words for most of it. I'm now enjoying what is basically a new computer as I saved all my data and took my laptop to a computer tech and asked him to put a clean install of Windows 10 on

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicates/Loop

Barbara, No one is forcing you to go to Windows 10 from Windows 7. There are ways to stop being offered Windows 10 but you probably need someone more familiar with computers to implement them. If they don't know how, they can Google it. Legacy 8 installs in a completely different place to Legacy

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicates

From your symptom you have one of two possible situations. The most probable, since this is a descendant chart, is that you have a circular link between people in your file. Someone is incorrectly linked as a child for one of their descendants. This can happen where you have several people with
