Re: [LegacyUG] foornotes at the bottom of the page?

[Cathy Pinner]

Sorry, I had a feeling I was answering mail too early in the morning.

Some reports just don't have the option for footnotes on each page.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart omits spouse names.

[Brian/Support]

It affects only the last generation in the chart. You only used two 
generations if you make it three the spouses will be included for the 
2nd generation and will be missing for the 3rd.

The spouses are not listed in the box with their partner they have
their own line on the report followed by the children that partner
had with them.

Partner details
  +spouse 1 details
Children with spouse 1 each with their own spouses and descendants
  +spouse 2 details
Children with spouse 2 again each with their own spouses and
descendants.

If their were lots of kids with spouse 1 and they had many children
and generations the details for spouse 2 can be several pages away
from the details for the partner.

I see though that in the chart there are no spouses shown for the
last generation. That problem is recorded in our problem reporting
system. I have added this report to that issue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Numbering System usage/survey

[Norris Taylor]

I might add a slight footnote regarding ancestral reports in the narrative
format.

If you go to the library and walk up and down the genealogy bookshelves,
one will find many, many books that are entitled something like "The
ancestors of."

These books are almost universally presented in a fashion where there are
chapters for each ancestral line, beginning with the top-of-line ancestor
for that line and ending with the first female descendant of that line who
was an ancestor of the root person. The reader is then referred to her
husband's chapter. The husband's chapter will follow from his top-of-line
ancestor down through sons until a woman is met who married an ancestor of
the root person.

Thus, if such a book has 50 chapters, you know the compiler has traced 50
different ancestral lines where there is one completely paternal line and
all the rest are chapters ending with a woman who married a man in one of
the other 50 chapters. This is very simple and also easy to follow, because
you can follow one line from the Mayflower down to a woman descendant who
married an ancestor of the root person in the 1900s all in one chapter. You
can't do that in ahentafel report - you have to "jump" from one number to
another.

Somebody on the internet has actually devised a numbering system that
follows this form of presentation.

It is much more meaningful, in the narrative form at least, but probably
also in a chart form, than a narrative report arranging all ancestors in
ahnentafel numer order.

I think it is quite disappointing that virtually all computer genealogy
software that I am aware has defaulted to the ahnentfal narrative reports
and do not print ancestral reports in the way that they have been presented
in printed books for over a hundred years. This is no slam against Legacy -
no other software that I am aware of does this either.

Legacy allows you to select the numbering system used for descendant reports 
when you print the report.

I, like most South African genealogists, use the de Villiers/Pama system, 
which uses letters for generations and numbers for birth order. 

Legacy offers that as an option.

Re: [LegacyUG] Numbering System usage/survey

[Michele/Support]

This is a pretty big topic but I will nutshell it best I can.

RINs and MRINs are assigned by the program.  These numbers are necessary for 
database type programs and you can either use them to your advantage or you can 
ignore them, your choice.  Some people like to use the RINs or MRINs as part of 
their paper or electronic filing system.  I don’t.

Ahnentafel numbers are the standard numbering system for Pedigree Charts.

The Register System and the Modified Register System (NGSQ) is what you will 
see on Descendant Book Reports.  Why? Because these are specific formats used 
in The Register (the journal put out by the New England Historic Genealogical 
Society) and the NGSQ (the journal put out by the National Genealogical 
Society).  These are accepted standards for this style of report and if you 
want to submit a genealogy to a society for publication one of these formats is 
what the society will probably ask for.

The Dollarhide system, the Henry system, the d’Aboville system, the de Villiers 
system and others are expansions of the Ahnentafel system so that more family 
members are included.  The Ahnentafel system only accounts for the direct line 
ancestors, no siblings.  I personally would never use any of these because they 
make sense to very few people. 

I use Ahnentafel numbers for Pedigree Charts and I use the NGSQ for Descendant 
Book Reports and that’s it ☺

Subject: [LegacyUG] Numbering System usage/survey

Prior to last night, I knew very little about the various types of 'numbering 
systems' (http://eogen.editme.com/NumberingSystems) that genealogy researchers 
use.  To say that this is a little confusing is an understatement. There are 
many different options with many different purposes.  Why are there so many 
systems and why are they so different?  It appears that there is some popular 
usage tied to the 'Dollarhide System' or a modification of that system.  The 
link above is to Dick Eastman's website and the page is the base page if you 
want to research further the various systems. There are links on the page that 
provide a description (and some examples) of they system.
For most genealogy researchers, this is probably a mute point - meaning they 
don't really think about it, they just allow their computer program to 
establish the pattern.  I think that Legacy 8 uses the 'Record Number' system 
of the database being used and links records together in an 'inter-relational' 
pattern. I know you have the option to display or not display the RIN/RMIN when 
viewing listings/reports.
First, does Legacy 8 have the option to use a different system than the 'Record 
Number' pattern, like the Dollarhide system, the Register system, the NGSQ 
system or the Ahnentafel system within a particular tree?  If so, where do you 
set it? If not, should it?
Second, how do other Legacy genealogy researchers use the 'numbering systems' 
available to them? I want to take an informal survey to see if there is much 
consideration given the numbering system for genealogical research.
A.I don't know anything about numbering systems and let the computer 
program assign the numbers
B.I set an event for the numbering system
C.I use another method/program to monitor the relationship numbering 
system for my research
I hope this does not confuse people, because from what I read last night, it is 
very important (and informative) when you publish material in professional 
journals and books.
Thank you for your patience.

[LegacyUG] Something else

[Turnham]

I feel very frustrated about making reports and it isn't that I haven't 
looked in help and googled the issue but for the life of me I cannot see 
how to do this report without a lot of deleting of extra information.


This is what I want to do:


I want to do a descendant report from one of my ancestors to me.The 
generation chapters would go like this:


1. A and B and their children C1 (my ancestor) and siblings. In this 
chapter I mention briefly what I know of the siblings but with my 
ancestor say that he is discussed in the next chapter.


2. In this chapter I discuss my ancestor and his children again delaying 
a complete discussion of my ancestor from this generation to the next 
chapter.


So each chapter (generation) would be limited to my ancestor and his 
children as are the lines of this chart I have produced. 
http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mahnrut/media/chart%20John%20Feveryear%20to%20barbara%20dickerson_zpssydahmh3.jpg.html


I don't see any way of producing this kind of report without carrying on 
the siblings descendants as well.


Many thanks for your patience! I would prefer a direct contact rather 
than cluttering up the list.


Barbara

Margaret, 

Open the Family Group Report screen and click RECORD SELECTION at the bottom.  
That is where you can tell Legacy to only used tagged individuals.

Is there a way to print out the family group sheet for only tagged individuals?

 

Also, is there a way to generate a report with only tagged individuals?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart omits spouse names.

[Brian/Support]

Firstly, the columns in the Descendant View have no relationship to the 
contents of the Descendant Chart available from the print button.


The report contents are set by the report screen and the Report Options 
> Include Tab. Number of generations is on the main report screen and 
what is in the details are defined by the include tab.


The spouses are not listed in the box with their partner they have their 
own line on the report followed by the children that partner had with them.


Partner details
 +spouse 1 details
   Children with spouse 1 each with their own spouses and descendants
 +spouse 2 details
   Children with spouse 2 again each with their own spouses and 
descendants.


If their were lots of kids with spouse 1 and they had many children and 
generations the details for spouse 2 can be several pages away from the 
details for the partner.


I see though that in the chart there are no spouses shown for the last 
generation. That problem is recorded in our problem reporting system. I 
have added this report to that issue.

The chart that results includes the name of the 1st generation spouse,

What have I failed to do??

Re: [LegacyUG] Which report?

[Cathy Pinner]

Barbara,

I don't understand what the problem is. If you want a report on your 
father's maternal line, start the line with your father's mother.


If you still want to start with you, you could in this example make your 
mother temporarily invisible and your father's father temporarily 
invisible. I wouldn't like them not being mentioned but I guess it 
doesn't matter so much or you could edit the report and put their names 
back in in appropriate places.


Another is to use the Publication Centre and combine reports so that you 
end up with what you want.

I think the reason that some users find that Report generation to be
overwhelming is that over the years Legacy has added more and more
options
with a multitude of report types and appearances, all due to user
demand.
Perhaps some users would find a simple one-button Report with no
options the
easy way. But as we've all learned, there is no easy way in Genealogy.
