[LegacyUG] How would you source these?

I just discovered a gold mine. A historian that I've known for years, but lost touch with now has a weekly column in a small town newspaper. In it, he prints social items from times past in the newspaper and in every single article he's ever written, they're archived online, my family is

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace surname for a family

This might help: Go to the son's Individual's screen see the down arrow beside the surname this brings up a list of all surnames in your Legacy program here you can globally change any surname(s) and/or merge surnames. By holding down the shift key you can merge many surnames into one. Anne

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace surname for a family

Yea, thanks. I don't want to globally change the surnames, I want to change it for a select group of people. The name is valid for plenty of other folks. Clearly no option in Legacy itself, I haven't had a chance to see if an existing LTools does it yet. On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 1:06 PM,

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace surname for a family

The author of LTools emailed me privately saying that LTools does not have the ability to change surnames for a focus or tagged group. It looks like you will have to use the search list results and the Edit tab on the right to individually change the surname for those who are affected. Brian

Re: [LegacyUG] Replace surname for a family

another idea - import just the tagged folks into a new empty Legacy Database. Change the surname for those people globally import back into your main database attach the son (with the new surname) to his parents if all is well then delete those that you first tagged. Making sure no tags remain

Re: [LegacyUG] How would you source these?

Given that this is a particular columnist, you may want to make the Master Source his column rather than the Newspaper as a whole and each article is the source detail. You may find other gold in the same newspaper and want to be able easily to get a list of what came from this particular

Re: [LegacyUG] Location merging

Joseph's suggestions are some that I use often.  I would only add that use of the Load and Save buttons in the Search tool can make some of these searches easy to replicate when needed. Ron Taylor On Thursday, April 17, 2014 4:19 PM, JV Leavitt jleavi...@att.net wrote: Replying to my own post:

Re: [LegacyUG] Location merging

Here's a SQL script that I use to find all occurances of a string in the Master Locations Table.  It can be run in Ltools or MS Access.  When the location parameter is requested, enter anything like Sumter and all entries that contain that in any position will be found and displayed. SELECT

[LegacyUG] Book, Narrative Book differences?

I would appreciate if someone would explain the differences between a Descendant Book and a Descendant Narrative Book. I created each and the only difference I notice is the table of contents. I must be missing something. Thanks, Brian Legacy User Group guidelines:

Re: [LegacyUG] Book, Narrative Book differences?

Yes Brian, You're missing a different order - and some different sentence structures. Note the child lists are quite different. The Descendant book goes by generations. Each person gets a number. Their details are given in the next generation section under that number (and their name of course).
