RE: Re[4]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Thought so. Three of the programs I am reviewing include a common note field for a shared event, with the note field displaying in each participants' events list. A fourth program offers a separate note field for each event participant. That note field is added when the participants of an

Yes thats it exactly. I use the Share Event extensively, as I did in TMG but Legacy does not work quite as well in this regard. On 21/12/2015 11:29:35 AM, "Denise Moss-Fritch" wrote: >Sue and Marlene, > >So, you are commenting about a shared event, not copying and

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Denise, With a Shared Event, you don't have to go to each participant and find the Event to add a note specific for them. You can add a note from the Edit Role button. When on the screen where you add the people you are sharing the event with, highlight the person and click Edit Role and then add

RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Sue and Marlene, So, you are commenting about a shared event, not copying and pasting an event that Boyd mentions? Yes, I note that selecting Share Event offers fields for a name and role, but not a note specific for each participant of the event. To gain access to a note field for each

Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Is this a new feature or fix in a recent update? Because in the past, when I have chosen Edit Role nothing has happened! I am delighted! Thank you Denise and Sue for making me go back and try again. On 21/12/2015 3:25:26 PM, "Denise Moss-Fritch" wrote: >Thanks Cathy.

Re[6]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

I think this was the single most important feature for mw - along with coloured tags - when changing from TMG. I tried Family Historian, and Gramps, but ended up with Legacy. Once a TMG user, its very hard to be completely satisfied. User issue I am sure On 21/12/2015 11:42:58 AM, "Denise

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Denise, I also wondered what Sue meant. In Legacy there are two different ways now to use the same event for different people. 1) You can use the Event Clipboard and paste the event to other people. Then you can edit it for that person. If you edit the original after you've copied it to the

RE: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Thanks Cathy. You are definitely correct. From the list of individuals sharing an event, select an individual and click Edit Role to display the dialog that include the notes specific to that person. You can even select to include the information in the sentence. I wonder what I missed doing

Re: [LegacyUG] Combining Legacy Family Tree files

Susan, How you work from three computers using cloud storage to go from one to the other really depends on the speed of your internet whether to keep the actual family file in the cloud or only the backups. It also depends on you making sure whatever is in cloud storage has been synced before you

Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

I too have struggled with this (as a long time TMG user). The issue for me is that when you do link individuals to the event you can't add specific details to each individual without first closing down the main individual and then going into each other one in turn to add the detail. Drives me

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

Are folks perhaps overlooking the Event Clipboard function - see Help > Event > Clipboard. This copy process takes its whole source with it from person to person. Boyd On 21/12/2015 10:38 a.m., Marlene Williamson wrote: >I too have struggled with this (as a long time TMG user). The issue for

Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Linking Source Citations

in my case it is the individual detail that causes me grief - I want to have individual detail in most instances. for example, I use the source clipboard to repeatedly reference a parish register and the detail to be specific as to the transcription. That detail is then also attached to the

Sue, As someone who is ‘evaluating’ half a dozen different genealogy software to decide ‘where to go next’, I am very curious about your comment. You wrote: “And Legacy still can't handle linking of individuals to one event without a whole lot of hair-tearing.” Please be a lot more

[LegacyUG] Combining Legacy Family Tree files

Since I work from 3 computers, often I will pick one up and start working on my genealogy..This has created a problem in that each computer holds different information, depending on which backup I'm going to. My question is: how do I combine all three programs into one, so I don't lose any
