Re: [LegacyUG] Howto enter a name that may be part of the family

Cindy,

You could...but you could also put in just surnames up to where you think
the family comes together.  You can always change it later.

[LegacyUG] Backups in Legacy to the same folder as data files?

2017-09-07 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I want my back ups to go to a different folder than my usable data files,
but I don't see that option in Customize > 6.Locations

All I see are

6.1 Default location of family files (gbl)
6.2 Default location of media files (ff)
6.3 Location of temporary files (gbl)

How do I set my back ups to a different folder?

[LegacyUG] what file extensions are associated with Legacy 9?

2017-09-07 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I didn't think when I updated to Legacy 9 and named the newer file the same
name.  Now there are a whole bunch of files with extensions I don't
recognize.  Which ones are needed for Legacy and which are from reports,
charting or Legacy FamilySearch?

Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It?

2017-09-07 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
My input on this thread...I am not impressed with MyHeritage's records.
>From what I can tell, they are all copies of what is available elsewhere.
However, I have found more of my Scandinavian family in trees on MyHeritage
than in other places, including pictures and sources...all new information
that someone in Norway posted regarding their family.

Also, I like on MyHeritage that even when the records or trees that are
'Smart' matches show up, I can mark them as a match, but NOT add any
information from the record or tree.  FamilySearch, of course, has only one
tree, and you have to look in the Duplicate finder to find duplicates.
Ancestry gives me hints for individuals in matching trees, but I can't do
anything with them, so I 'Ignore' them and leave them sitting in the
'Ignored Hints' folder, this is a problem for me, because some of the trees
that I 'Ignore' are about my same people, but others are not and Ancestry
has no way to distinguish between the two.  MyHeritage does, because you
can mark them as matches, but not add any information from them.

Sorry, a little convoluted, but I hope you can understand my meaning.

As for a coordinated list of all the records available at each
sitemaking a chart sounds good, but with all the sites continually
adding more records, that's not a task that would be finished any time
soon.

And whoever it was that mentioned most of their research was in Rochester,
NY,  Wow!  You are SO lucky!  Mine is literally all over the world.  I've
learned about a whole lot of different records because of it!

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicate marriages

2017-08-17 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
And just to throw another reason for two marriages out there...my
great-grandparents married on a dare in the next county over, then, went
home to their families and had a real wedding a month later with the pastor
and all the families.  I have both the marriage licenses and returns.
Reportedly they never told her mother, who would have been horribly
shocked.  This occurred in Utah in 1920.

Re: [LegacyUG] External hard drive

2017-03-24 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I've been using the Web link in the media to attach photos that I are
already loaded online (Ancestry.com, FamilySearch) and sources that are
online also.  I also create a link to the image on my hard drive.  This has
been working very well for family to see them, as we have our Legacy data
file stored on DropBox and accessible to all family members.  Everyone has
a free version of Legacy on their own computer and creates a local backup
whenever they leave the program.  This creates backups all over the nation
and on multiple computers.  With the web links, it is now possible for all
family members to see all the images that we have attached, no matter
whether it is a source, a portrait or locality interest items.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying Sources from FamilySearch.org to Legacy and Ancestry.com

2016-12-26 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
do you really want to copy the sources back and forth?  Legacy, Ancestry
and FamilySearch all have different ways of writing their sources.  If  you
copy them from one to the other, the formatting won't match.  I'd rather
have a way to match up the sources from one to another, that is, in
LegacyFamilySearch mode I could mark sources that show in FamilySearch
Family Tree as the same as a particular source in Legacy So I am able to
confirm that I have all the sources in both places, but not necessarily
copied from one to the other.

[LegacyUG] Search/FamilySearch Sync

2016-10-29 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Okay, I'm looking for a way to sync with FamilySearch but using only
individuals who need LDS baptism, but who are only in my Ancestor Line.  I
can create a search list with the Ancestor Line and then search within that
list for those who need LDS Baptism, but I cannot see any way to only look
at those individuals within the FamilySearch sync mode.

Is there a way to do this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Cloud Storage

2016-05-20 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I have been using Dropbox for several years now.  I maintain our main Legacy 
file there.  Each family member can access it (my father, my sister, my 
brother) Legacy automatically saves backups to each person's local computer 
drive but the master file is in the cloud.  There are three issues that I know 
of. 1. Two people working in the file at the same time, 2. Media files with 
exact addresses, 3. Syncing 

So, for #1: Dropbox allows two people to work on the file at the same time, but 
whoever closes their file first retains the master name, while for the person 
who closes second Dropbox creates a second file and adds the additional name of 
'Anne's conflicted copy' to the main file name. If this ever occurs, you can 
use Legacy's compare files tool to see any differences between the two files.  
Google Drive doesn't allow two people to have the same file open.  I'm not sure 
how Microsoft OneDrive works.

#2: Legacy uses exact addresses for media files, so if I log in on my computer 
it looks like the files are in c://Windows/users/Anne/Dropbox/Pictures...but if 
my brother logs in, the pictures are in 
c://Windows/users/brother/Dropbox/Pictures, so Legacy doesn't have the correct 
address and cannot find them.

Both of these issues are not a problem if you are the only person who uses the 
Legacy file and you have the same file structure for any system you log in on.

#3: syncing can be automatic or not it depends on how you set it up.  If you 
have it off, then you will need manually sync your files every time you open or 
close Legacy so that whatever system you use is using the latest version of 
your file. With automatic sync on, you only need to be connected to the 
Internet and it will keep your cloud file at the latest version.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch

2016-05-04 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Those Scandinavian names are simply difficult to find all versions of them 
existing within Family Tree.  I diligently search FamilySearch Family Tree for 
individuals I research and when I cannot find them on Family Tree, I add them.  
Lo, and behold, once I've added several people in the family, and THEN use 
Legacy's FamilySearch sync mode, I find the whole family showing up with a 
different surname, usually because someone has attached the farm name to the 
surname.  Legacy has been so helpful in finding these duplicates, but much of 
the time even with Legacy they only show up after I've entered a number of 
individuals in the family.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch

2016-04-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
FamilySearch doesn't allow sources attached to any 'Other Events'.  You can 
only tag sources to name, gender, birth, christening, death and burial.  
Although you can add sources and NOT tag them to anything.  

Have you looked at how Legacy sources show up on FamilySearch Family Tree?  
I've not been very happy with how sources don't match with other system sources 
when either uploading or downloading.  It makes for duplication, but yep. 
Creating sources in both my Legacy file and in FamilySearch Family Tree is the 
only way that makes sense for me right now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about online "Sources" and marriage, divorce, remarriage for last names

2016-04-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Honestly, I never generate married names for women.  If I find a Mrs. Somebody 
Surname, I create an individual with just a surname as her husband.  

 I also choose the most common or most correct form of a surname to use for the 
whole family. In most records in the US my family shows up as Acunia, although 
all their personal documents and signatures show the spelling of Acuna.  I use 
Acuna for all of them.

I deal with all the name variations within the sources by recording the actual 
spelling in each record.  

The only times I use the alternate names are:

1. for a true AKA (grandpa Giuseppe Lo Forte has an AKA of Vito Spiarto added 
to his death certificate along with his correct name)

2. For a nickname that shows up in records as regularly as his true name 
(Smiley Acuna was named in the newspaper as having had a daughter born to him.)

Just my 2 cents worth.

Anne

Re: [LegacyUG] Repository?

2016-04-10 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
You would be the repository. However I would make sure that the images 
themselves include the date time and location (the cemetery or gps coordinates 
of the grave itself). You will see this is how you would source to sites like 
Billion Graves and Find-A-Grave.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking part of my tree

2016-03-22 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
Michael,

Depends on what you are looking at. For the problem that started this thread, I 
would use a spreadsheet and start listing the different John Smiths across the 
top with dates down the left column.  Under each John Smith I add what source 
information (including relationships and locations) that I know about him with 
the date of each source listed on the left.  I continue adding John Smiths 
across the top for any source that I can't for sure tie into an already listed 
John Smith. By the time I've listed all the sources that I can locate, I can 
usually sort most of the records into particular individuals.

You can export almost any set of data into a csv format and pull it directly 
into a spreadsheet program like excel.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

2016-02-25 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
All good ideas here. I wanted to toss one out that has a slightly different 
use.  I use the Spanish upside down question mark at the beginning with a right 
side up question mark at the end.  So for these two sisters, if I knew their 
maiden name I would add their father with just their maiden name as his 
surname.  If I had a given name that I thought might be the father, I would add 
that with the question marks around it.  I can't do this on my tablet, or I 
would show you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source List

2016-02-24 Thread Anne Lo Forte Willson
I think I'm what you call a lumper.  I source from largest location to 
smallest. I've been a little frustrated because the Legacy program wants more 
detailed locations in some cases than the databases warrant. I've altered my 
manner of sourcing to add a lot of the location information in the details 
instead of the Master source.
