[LegacyUG] I am totally stuck
The problem that I mentioned on the list yesterday, the 3021 error, I got no answers here so I submitted it as a problem to Legacy. I haven't heard anything back. I am in a total holding pattern. I don't want to add any more information to this file until I can get it fixed. Exporting it to a new Legacy file didn't work. If I export it to a GEDCOM then I will lose all of my SW sources. I have so much stuff to enter and I am just sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

Hi Michele, As this seems to be a Microsoft Jet error I would try to be patient and wait for Legacy Support on this issue. I only hope that you have been diligent in backing up your files after each use of the program.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
I have noticed lately that my Legacy program has slowed down considerably. Is there a point in which I should consider splitting my file? I have 4912 Individuals, but a lot of data and multimedia.

RE: [LegacyUG] I am totally stuck
This was a brand new file that I exported from Legacy to Legacy. It contains only my direct line with no events and no sources. I had just started adding things back in. I only added in a total of 7 birth certificates and 2 marriage licenses as I scanned them. I was adding the very first event (1940 census) and that is when I had the problem. I had back up as soon as I exported but I hadn’t backed up yet after inputting the above. I usually back up once a day.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
The question is more about what kind of processor your pc has, the amount of RAM and Storage space, and then lastly the size of your file. Currently my legacy file is 412,264 KB. 215,000 people over 32,000 links for media. and it runs great on a pc running an I5 -3450 CPU @ 3.1 gh, 16GB RAM, and 1 TB data storage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
I had a similar problem on my Dell laptop two years ago; only with Legacy, all oter apps seemed fine. I did approach Legacy support about this, but were unable to help me at that time. If it's the same problem, then uninstalling and reinstalling the program won't work, and splitting the database won't work. As drastic as it sounds, I have since rebuilt the OS on PC and the sluggishness stopped. Hopefully someone now has a better solution...Good luck.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
Back up the Family File (File Backup Family File) then do a File File Maintenance Check/Repair. After that do a File File Maintenance Compact Family File. After doing that, please update to the latest build 7.5.0.268. That should speed things up Also, it never hurts to run a good Windows clean-up utility like CCleaner.

[LegacyUG] Update Unsuccessful
I just tried to update to the latest build of Legacy and received the following error message: Could not communicate to the network server, error 3. 404 not found.

[LegacyUG] LegacyFS: Problems
My initial good impression of the re-vamped FamilySearch is rapidly fading. Whether this is due to failures with the LegacyFS code or the FamilySearch website itself, I have no way of knowing. I am tending towards the latter. I have an individual in my database who I have linked to FamilySearch. When attempting to process the Possible Duplicates, of which there were a number, I am running into the situation that I shell attempt to describe. I first of all go through the list of Possible Duplicates, marking those who are Not the same person, and then I click the Process Actions button. This has the desired effect of removing the imposters from the list, leaving me with those that bear closer examination. I then select the first, matching Possible Duplicate and click the Same Person button. This goes through the whole rigmarole of trying to merge the two individuals on the website. This appears to go well. I then go back to the LegacyFS screen, click on continue and then refresh the Possible Duplicates list. To my dismay, the merge doesn't appear to have happened. The individual is still in the Possible Duplicates list! What's more, if I try to merge the two again, the FamilySearch website claims that I am now trying to merge my Legacy individual with himself! The target of the merge is still there but can not be merged because he's been deleted! This is why I think FamilySearch is at fault. It's pointless trying to contact FamilySearch. They take far too long to respond to questions. This was working yesterday, and my software hasn't changed. Roll-on the ability to merge records from Legacy :-) -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Update Unsuccessful
Click on Help General Information, and a window will appear that gives you some data about what you're running. If you've got the Deluxe edition running, it will say that in big friendly letters at the top of the window, and you'll see your customer number in one of the fields. I expect that the file where your customer number is stored was not over-written when you downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the program, so when you opened it up it already knew you were a Deluxe user. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Nancy Stevens said the following on 17/08/2013 8:06 a.m.: Sherry, Thank you. I had initially tried to update from the Legacy Home tab.

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse
LUGgers: I have my third wife marked as preferred (I have selected her, saved and closed). But when I come back to my family screen, my first wife's information is displayed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
I agree with the others - it probably has more to do with the machine you're using, than your Legacy file. Consider what your numbers are (as Jay described in his post - I5 -3450 CPU @ 3.1 gh, 16GB RAM, and 1 TB data storage) and think about what you can upgrade if it's necessary after you've done the maintenance that Sherry recommended. Especially hard disk space - if your hard drive is nearly full, you need to either delete some unwanted files or get a bigger one, as the computer needs free disk space to function properly. 5,000 individuals in yor Legacy file is not very big at all. If I recall correctly, Legacy only stores the path to your multimedia, so they should not have a big impact on the file size. In any case, I would not recommend splitting your file into smaller ones. You loose all the advantages of having it all together, and could end up with duplicate people across the files where you've forgotten to update some of the data on one or more of the files. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Donna Newell said the following on 17/08/2013 3:08 a.m.: I have noticed lately that my Legacy program has slowed down considerably. Is there a point in which I should consider splitting my file? I have 4912 Individuals, but a lot of data and multimedia. Using version 7.5.0.219 Deluxe Edition Build Date 15 Feb 2013.

Re: [LegacyUG] Preferred Spouse
If you navigate from a 1/2 child to you, you should see that child’s mother as your wife. Otherwise you should see the preferred wife. To mark a wife as preferred, you need to do more than just selecting her in the ‘wives of...’ window. You need to click on the ‘Set to Preferred’ button at the bottom left of the window. Make sure there is an asterisk next to her in the ‘P’ column.

Re: [LegacyUG] How much information is too much
Hi, Deanna, I agree with Kathy's comments. I like what you are doing and encourage you to continue doing something you obviously enjoy doing. While your daughters and cousins show no interest at this time that is not to say that they will never have an interest or that someone down the line may not get the genealogy bug and be most grateful for your research. As for the agricultural survey,I view this as a fun and clever way to offer statistical information. This survey lends interest and is along the line of charts, photos and in your case, priceless stories. Good luck!

Donna, Thats good to hear... I run File Maint every night before I backup Then the others (clean up, and compact) about once a month. If it gets slow again, check and find how much of your RAM is being used up and if its anymore than 50% consider increasing that 8 Gb ram to 12 or 16 if possible If thats not possible, consider using a 4 gb thumb drive as readyboost memory http://www.orclage.com/how-to-use-usb-flash-drive-as-ram-in-windows-8-7-and-xp-pendrive/ Legacy is the fastest data tool for genealogy!!

RE: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
Legacy won't let you do a same sex marriage or partnership. This may change in a future version of Legacy, but version 8.0. There is a work-around. Before you start, backup the family file. The first steps are exactly what you do when entering a straight couple. The change in sex is made in Microsoft Access. After adding the couple in Legacy (one will be male the other female), make note of their RIN numbers and close the program. Next open the file in Microsoft Access. Here are the steps: 1. Start MS Access. 2. Click on File and select Open. 3. Type *.fdb in the File name field at the bottom of the window and press Enter on the keyboard. Access will now see all files with a .fdb extension. 4. Browse to the directory where the family file is saved and open it. Change the gender of one of the partners: 5. Open the table named tblIR. 6. The IDIR field holds the RIN numbers. Use these to find an individual. 7. The Surname and GivenName fields are self-explanatory. 8. The Gender field holds the sex of the individual: Male = 0 and Female = 1. 9. Change the gender to be the same as his or her partner. 10. Save the file and close Microsoft Access Jim Legacy Family Tree Technical Support Original Message From: Sandy Inklebarger sandy...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 4:23 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Slowing Down
Legacy is a 32-bit Windows program and cannot make any use of more than something less than 4 GB of memory. If you are running a 64-bit Windows Operating system with multiple application programs active or with 64-bit applications then more than 4GB would be beneficial. However if Legacy is the only program running then any memory above 4GB won't make the application run any faster. On 8/16/2013 7:01 PM, Jay 1FamilyTree wrote: Donna, Thats good to hear...

Re: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
Barry sent Unfortunately when File Maintenance, Check/Repair is run following the Access work around as Jim suggests, the Gender reverts back to the original setting. BNH Another alternative to Jim's, not using Access. In this case when you run File Maintenance, Chech/Repair husband and wife are replaced by Male/Male or Female/Female and does not revert back. These are my notes from my report at a past LUG (Melbourne Australia) meeting re same sex partners in Legacy. Enter both partners in male and female positions in Family View. You now need to change one partner’s gender, for instance the one designated Female that you want to change to Male. Click the marriage information bar for the pair and remove “replace wife’s married name with husband’s surnameâ€. Go to Wording Options and replace Husband and Wife on the first line (Family View) for Male and Male (or Female and Female). Then override the middle section of the next line that reads “married “ with “has (or had) a partnerâ€. If you need to cover a second relationship insert “next had a relationship with†instead of “next marriedâ€. At the bottom substitute “Partner†and “Partnership†for “Spouse†and “Marriageâ€. Make sure you click Save. We found we needed to insert Partnership in the location field for the word to appear as Partnership instead of Marriage Information in the Family View but is better to leave it out for Ancestor report. Unfortunately partnership will appear in your Location List and has to be ignored! Certainly not a perfect solution. To prevent “she/he†creeping in instead of “he/she†for some reports and charts, edit the event sentence definitions to use [FirstName] instead of [He/She], that would get rid of some of the problems - or use Sentence Override so sentences for others are not affected. This addition was supplied by Cathy in Western Australia. She usually uses [FirstHeShe] in Event Sentence Definitions so that the First Name alternates with the pronoun in reports. Note also in a Family Chart you still get Husband and Wife – not Partners. However, the Descendant Chart seems to work and the Family View is acceptable.

Start MS Access. 2. Click on File and select Open. 3. Type *.fdb in the File name field at the bottom of the window and press Enter on the keyboard. Access will now see all files with a .fdb extension. 4. Browse to the directory where the family file is saved and open it. Change the gender of one of the partners: 5. Open the table named tblIR. 6. The IDIR field holds the RIN numbers. Use these to find an individual. 7. The Surname and GivenName fields are self-explanatory. 8. The Gender field holds the sex of the individual: Male = 0 and Female = 1. 9. Change the gender to be the same as his or her partner. 10. Save the file and close Microsoft Access Jim Legacy Family Tree Technical Support Original Message From: Sandy Inklebarger sandy...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 4:23 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
