Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Report - mixture of Abt and Circ

[Susie Zada]

Hi Cathy,

 

I really do appreciate the effort you’ve put in.  I might sent it to support – 
perhaps it’s a known issue.

Susie,

I can't help you more.

If you really have gone back to Options - Customise 5.7 and changed the display 
for Circa to Circa or similar and NOT About/Abt and saved out of 
Options-Customise and then done a File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair
and then still you have only Abt on the screen but differences in reports,
contact Support.

I understand what you are saying but I have two people who have Abt 
 for both birth and death for both of them.

When I do a Family Group Sheet for HIS parents, so these two people 
appear as son and daughter-in-law – and his dates show as Abt  for 
birth and death – this is correct.  Her dates show as (Cir -Cir )

When I do a Family Group Sheet for these two people, HIS parents (entered as 
Abt) both appear as (Cir  – Cir ).  HER parents 
both show as (-) which is correct as there are no dates and no 
Abt etc entered.

So something else is happening in there.

Susie,

You said that you changed the Display of Circa to About.

So they're not all About. Some are recorded as Circa.
The bracketed dates in reports are not taking notice of what you've 
entered for the Display but of the base date prefix.

So to get cir in reports you do have some dates entered from the Circa.
That's why I said to change the disp lay of this at 5.7 to find them 
and then change them to Abt - the real About - via Search and Replace 
or one by one

Is that clearer?

Thanks for the suggestions – unfortunately it’s not a case of change
any Circa etc dates to Abt because they’re all Abt anyway.

The exactly same dates – Abt birth and Abt death appear differently
depending on whether the couple are the son and daughter -in-law and
the exactly same couple are shown as Husband and Wife in the Family
Group Report! I’ve eliminated all the various versions for the dates
and prefixes which is why I wondered if I’d found a bug or missed a

Susie,

The display option in 5.7 has some relationship to what is used in
Reports but it isn't exact, especially in the bracketed dates.

I suggest you change the display for Circa back to Circa or something
and then find those dates and change them to Abt if that's what
you want.

You can use Search - Search and Re place on various Date fields to
mak e
this a fast process. Just make sure you're only replacing the found
text and not the whole field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Working Directory

[Cathy Pinner]

Robin,

It's probably best to contact Support to sort out what you are doing.

some general things to check:
If the data file on your hard drive is updating then you do have a 
working copy on your hard drive. Legacy datafiles save automatically 
every time you enter a bit of data and click Save.


Backup zips are saved to the backup folder.

Backups are restored when necessary, not opened. Is it possible that you 
opened a file from within a backup zip? That can cause a mess.

Go to Options --> Configure --> 6 File Locations

You can see the default locations for data files, and change them
to whatever
you want.

*The Genealogy Do-Over Workbook by Thomas MacEntee - 3.99*
Back in December 2014, I made a big announcement online and in social
media: *Genealogy and I are parting ways. Done. Finished. Game over.*

Have you ever said to yourself, “That’s it! I’ve had it and it just isn’t
worth it anymore!” Well, have you? Sort of like the character Howard Beale
in the movie Network when he says, live on air, “I’m mad as hell and I’m
not going to take it anymore!”

By the end of 2014, after more than 25 years of researching my own family
history, that is how I felt.

*My Past Genealogy Research Frustrates Me!*

While many who read my post thought that I was leaving the genealogy
community or closing down my genealogy business, I had to clarify what I
meant by “leaving:” Starting in 2015, I planned on setting my 20+ years of
genealogy research aside and starting over. From scratch.

Seriously. How many times have you thought about doing the same thing? Did
you start your research the same way I did, by just collecting names,
grabbing stuff from other online trees, or pasting text into your genealogy
software? Lately, has the prospect of going back and citing sources or
proving facts and evidence brought you down and ruined your genealogy buzz?
Do you throw up your hands and say, “I give up!” only to return to the same
review and edit process days or weeks later?

If you are like me, you need a genealogy makeover. Better yet, a Genealogy
Do-Over. That is what I decided to call the journey upon which I embarked
in early 2015. Now I want you to come along.

Genealogy
Do-Over: A New Journey of Genealogical Discovery*

Here is the short summary of The Genealogy Do-Over: I set aside everything*
related to my genealogy research including notebooks, papers, and even
digitized files and my genealogy database files and START OVER. I’m hitting
the reset button. I’m allowing myself to have a do-over! (* certain items
such as vital records ordered and paid for or research gathered on
long-distance trips can be retained).

Since I started my initial research, much has changed in the areas of
genealogy research methodology and education. I now realize the need to
collect facts and track them properly, including the use of source
citations. I now understand the process of analyzing evidence and proving
facts to reach a conclusion. In essence, I know a lot more about the
“process” of genealogical research and I want to put it to use.

This is not to say that I have not been following proven guidelines when it
comes to finding family history. For my research clients (mostly pro bono),
I actually employ all the methods advocated by many in the genealogy
community. However, when it comes to my own research from years ago, I am
not walking the walk . . . I have just been talking the talk.

It is not always easy to “walk backwards” and review every bit of
information gathered over the years. Instead, I wanted to do more than
re-walk a trodden path: I wanted to head out from the same starting point
and see where the journey took me. I knew I would have access to better
tools, better knowledge and be better equipped for each twist and turn.
Now, I encourage you to join me on this journey.

The Genealogy Do-Over journey is constructed of 12 mileposts or journey
markers that 

[LegacyUG] Family Group Report - mixture of Abt and Circ

[Susie Zada]

Hi Folks,

Is this a bug or have I missed a setting somewhere for Date Prefixes - I
have this set in Customise 5.7 - Prefixes

If I type About / Abt / A it is to display as Abt
If I type Circa / Cir / C it is to display as Abt

In the Family Group Sheet - this prefix displays correctly UNLESS it is in
brackets which are automatically used for date ranges for Father, Mother and
Spouse.

Example - Son James has Born Abt 1856, Died Abt 1905 BUT Spouse Elizabeth
(Cir 1859 - Cir 1909)

If I look at the son and daughter-in-law they both display dates with Abt
and not Circ 

If I change the family to be the son and daughter-in-law as the main people,
both Husband and Wife appear with the correct prefixes of Abt for both born
and died BUT their parents Father and Mother have dates in brackets showing
(Circ 1834 - Cr 1905)

In Australia when getting BDM Registrations from the indexes I always use
Abt unless I have actual dates.  This is because a birth could have been
registered at the beginning of a year but the actual event could have
occurred at the end of the previous year - until I have the real dates they
have to be Abt because they could have been either year - hope that makes
sense.

So why is the information appearing in brackets as part of the standard
Family Group Report showing as Cir and not Abt?
