Re: [LegacyUG] Search/Replace

2024-08-15 Thread Cathy Pinner


Gloria,
That sounds very strange but it may possibly have something to do with 
the accented character?

But it doesn't make sense to me.
The space between Given Names and Surnames is supplied in the output 
where Given Name and Surname are put together. It does not come from 
having a space at the end of the Given Names field.
In your Alt. Names do you have the  Surname in the Given Names field? 
That's the only way I can think that the space could be missing.
If da Silva is actually in the Surname field for this Alternate Name, 
please take this up with Support.

Thanks Cathy & Kathy for responding. I am seeing this in my alternate 
names; 1) Search tab in the Family View, 2) Search Replace tab. In 
that box is 1) Find Where, 2) Find What, and 3) Replacement Text.

Example of what I did that removed the space:
1) Alt. given names
2) Joao(with no space)
3) João(with no space)
I assume not having a space after 2) is what caused the problem. I now 
have alternate names such as Joãoda Silva. It should be João da Silva.

Thanks again,
Gloria

I lost the space when I Searched/Replaced

Gloria, how did they lose the space?

Where are you seeing this?

If in a Report, make sure you are looking at it at 100% or greater as 
at lower percentages the space and even some letters may not be clear.

Hi Everyone,

How do you correct given and alternate names that have lost the space? 
For example, what was once John Charles, _ with a surname or no 
surname, is now JohnCharles,. I tried variations in the 'How to 
Find' and 'How to Replace' in the Search & Replace to no avail. Does 
this mean I have to correct each individual manually?


Thank you in advance,
Gloria

Crystal,
Where are the notes missing?

There are new options for Notes in Reports in Legacy 10 so go to the 
Report, click the Report Options button and on the Include tab in the 
Event section click the Event Options button and check the Note options 
carefully.

If you look at your main person/head of household, do you see the

the *Edit the role of XYZ in the individual event of ABC *box, you

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort / order by Last Updated - not available in v10?

2024-06-29 Thread Cathy Pinner


Ian,
I also only use one Legacy family file for all people of interest 
whether they are linked into my main tree or not.


Updating when away from your normal computer and using another should be 
no problem at all PROVIDED you travel with the latest version of your 
family file AND you transfer the final version on your tablet back to 
your computer before doing more work on the computer. You do have to be 
using the same version of Legacy on both computers.


Since you've been customising columns in Index View did you see you can 
save up to 10 sets of columns and then switch between them when 
appropriate? Clicking the header row shows you the saved sets and you 
can switch to another with another click.


Cathy

Ian Thomas <mailto:il.tho...@outlook.com>
Sunday, 30 June 2024 1:36 PM
Cathy, thanks for that. I will do it that way in future, if necessary 
- it will be quite straight-forward.


However, this is what I found expedient:
I added 2 fields to my view of the data, in the "travelling" version 
of Legacy; those fields appear in Index View as Added and UpDate.
(I eventually found the fields when using Customise Index View 
Columns, as "Date: Added to Family File", and "Date: Modified")


I was careful with both the Tag and the RINs - no problems encountered.

Because I had only 6 extra people added or modified while away, and I 
was using a tablet with Legacy v9, it was simple to locate them that 
way and export, and then import into my "home" version of Legacy. If I 
had hundreds of modified records I can imagine complications and 
confusion.


The "home" Legacy database is now upgraded to v10, as I mentioned (and 
I like v10).


Because I have a reasonably large database now, having those 2 extra 
fields is useful in itself (though I don't want to have to change or 
import a large number of individuals that were added/modified within a 
"travelling" version of Legacy).


A side comment: I find it easier to have a single database, with 
sundry "non-family" persons added there rather than in a series of 
separate Legacy database files. (Some individuals purported to be 
related have turned out to be not. Others - they are merely of 
interest to me. )


One database, one computer is easier for me. However, most of my 
ancestors 2-3 generations back are in parts of UK and Ireland, so 
updating when overseas may continue to be a problem.

Further clarification of my previous post –

I have added to my Legacy fields display, the *Added* field and the 
*Update* field - but *sorting* by these in the _Index  mode_ (rather 
than the _Family display mode_) will not allow sorting by the values 
in those two fields.


Perhaps it would be possible in both Legacy v9 and Legacy v10, to 
create a query which is ordered in those ways? I have not yet 
attempted to do that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10

2024-06-22 Thread Cathy Pinner


DeanAdams,
Thousands have upgraded without problems.
Some have had initial problems and sorted them. Some of those were user 
created.


Here's an annotated listing of the suggested steps documenting the 
problems that various people have had.
They mostly revolve around getting the actual installation file to 
download and security software.


Here's the list annotated with solutions to issues people have 
encountered during this simple process.

Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as possible.
1. Run File > File Maintenance > check/repair on your files. You should 
be doing this regularly to keep your database healthy. If there are 
errors reported run it again. Errors after the second run are the ones 
that aren't auto-corrected and require your intervention. Fix them and 
run again.
2. Verify that there are no broken media links. Tools>Media Relinker You 
can fix them in Legacy 10 but you need to know they weren't caused by 
the upgrade.
3. Backup your family file and media files. Preferably make sure you 
also have these backups off your computer either in a cloud or on 
external drive.
4. Download 10 from the website. Some people encounter problems because 
a) they make a typo when entering their email address, b) the email goes 
to spam or doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a different email 
address c) the link in the email doesn't work and they need to copy and 
paste the link to their browser. One person reported that his ISP 
blocked unknown programs for 24 hours

5. Install 10 and enjoy.
Some people encounter problems with the installation because their 
security software blocks it or part of it. Pausing the security software 
during installation solves that. If concerned you can go into Aeroplane 
mode/come offline for the installation,.
If there is any problem after installation RESTART your computer and it 
is usually solved.


Some people are having problems with the Legacy FamilySearch module. The 
login has been changed by FamilySearch and is now done in your browser 
every time you open the Legacy FamilySearch module. The login 
credentials can still be saved in Legacy FamilySearch so you don't have 
to enter them every time. Reports say it is not working if you are using 
a Ad blocker and tracking blocker on the FamilySearch site as the login 
information has to be returned. Some are finding the browser tab is left 
open. I see it open and close but the browser often stays open on top of 
the Legacy FamilySearch module.


Yes there are some bugs in the new version that people are finding 
particularly in new reports, but so there still are in Legacy 9 and 
earlier. Only Legacy 10 is being updated with bug fixes.


Hope this helps
Cathy

There is an icon for Find A Grave in the Search bar. Is there one for
Billion Graves somewhere?

Jan,
I agree with Henry.
You really shouldn't be using a gedcom to go from Legacy to Legacy.
I would think there is something wrong anyway if it's taking so long for 
just 30,000 people.

WHY? Are you using a GEDCOM.
Make a copy (or rename your Legacy 9 file and just open it with Legacy 10.

Legacy 10 will convert your data and you will be off and running.

Just curious

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10

Good Afternoon,

I have been a Legacy user for over 15 years and love the program. I 
also have been a Mac user for longer than that…and have had to use 
Fusion to be able to utilize Legacy. I have a fairly large database 
with 30,000 individuals along with many notes for most of those 
individuals. Yesterday I downloaded Legacy 10 at 6:00 PM. It took 
until about 8:00 this morning before I could then import my data. I do 
have a five year old MacBook Pro and having Fusion slows down both the 
Mac and Legacy. My Legacy 9 data from a Gedcom is still importing 7 
1/2 hours later and only partially loaded. Is anyone else having such 
a slow transfer?


Many thanks,

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

2024-06-18 Thread Cathy Pinner

Sarah,
Q1: Yes you should still set the Customise options I mentioned. It's the
program that you've probably pinned to the Taskbar, not a particular
database.
Q2: When you are happy you have your all your data in your Legacy 10
database you are always opening, yes you can delete other copies you
find elsewhere. A Legacy database is made up of the main FDB file which
has the Legacy logo and a number of other files that start filename> but have different extensions. You can delete them. What you
should keep are data backup zips - at least the last 10 for complete
peace of mind. Put them in the one folder. You only need the last 2 or 3
media backup zips.
The reason for keeping more data backups is that we don't always realise
there is a problem in the database until we go to a particular family we
may not have looked at for ages. The data backup zip zips together that
FDB file with the others with the same family filename.
Legacy 10 now records in Options > Customise your backup folders. Again
see section 6.

To minimise the need to use a data backup, regularly do File > File
Maintenance > Check/Repair. Databases are like cars - they need regular
maintenance.
It's years since I've actually needed to use a data backup due to my
database becoming unhealthy but I still have some backups going back
decades. I restore an old one to see what progress I've made and
sometimes to retrieve people I remember researching but can't find. I
used to delete people I found didn't belong to the family but sometimes
I discover later that they do but in a different part of the family. I
no longer delete but just unlink.

Hi Cathy

I do have a question for you, if you don't mind; well 2 actually!
The 1st is that I usually pin the Legacy site to my task bar, but
should I also use those 2 Customize options that you suggest?
Secondly, I noticed when I was trawling through my folders and files,
that there are an awful lot from the past, ie Legacy 9, in various
folder formats. None of them will open when I try, so can I just
delete them all, and just keep ones from Legacy 10? TIA

Similarly, you can look for your data files using File Explorer.
Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu,
choose File Explorer and then select a location from the left pane to
search or browse.
Go to the drive where you store your data (on a basic setup it would
be C:\) and search (top right search panel) for ".fdb".

All your Legacy data files will show up.

Go back to the article I mentioned before re finding a lost file. Here's
the link again.
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=I-lost-my-family-file---id--K-I9BVL_R5SkFN6sY2Vaeg>

It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't seem to be
good at finding your way around your computer, put it in the Legacy
default folder for data where the Sample file is, since you seem able to
find that. ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder.

Then set Options > Customise 1.2 to open your file automatically.
Save your data backup zips to a Google Drive folder and make sure you
know how to use your data backup with File > Restore File.

In the backup dialogue you will see you can set the folder for backups.

Legacy 10 has been released and is free for everyone. It has all the
Deluxe features for free. It has the same look and feel as Legacy 8
and 9. It has some new features and reports and tweaks to existing
features and reports.
The new features are listed on the renewed Legacy website. The full
list is in this blog:
<https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2024/06/the-new-legacy-family-tree-10-is-here-and-its-all-free.html>
It's advised to be running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Not all features
are guaranteed to work on earlier Windows versions.
Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as
possible with some comments on where a few people out of the thousands
who have updated have been encountering problems. Note it will
overwrite Legacy 9. You can't run both versions as the settings are
all locked to the same folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\_AppData\ folder 1. Run File > File Maintenance > check/repair on
your files. You should be doing this regularly to keep your database
healthy. 2. Verify that there are no broken media links. Tools>Media
Relinker You can fix them in Legacy 10 but you need to know they
weren't caused by the upgrade. 3. Backup your family file and media
files. Preferably make sure you also have these backups off your
computer either in a cloud or on external drive. 4. Download 10 from
the website. Some people encounter problems because a) they make a
typo when entering their email address, b) the email goes to spam or
doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a different email address c)
the link in the email doesn't work and they need to copy and paste the
link to their browser.
5. Install 10 and enjoy. Some people encounter problems with the
installation because their security software blocks it or part of it.
Pausing the security software during installation solves that. If
concerned you can go into Aeroplane mode/come offline for the
installation. If there is any problem after installation RESTART your
computer and it is usually solved. Have fun, Cathy

Sarah,
I've already given you the Support article on how to find a lost file.
Your file will be there.
You don't have to have Legacy at all to install Legacy 10. But if you
have Legacy you convert your earlier Legacy database into Legacy 10 format.
If you've been using Legacy, even a much earlier one, you can open your
current database -when you find it OR use your latest Legacy data backup
zip - you have been backing up haven't you?
Here's the Support file again:
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=I-lost-my-family-file---id--K-I9BVL_R5SkFN6sY2Vaeg>

No you shouldn't reset your Laptop to an earlier time. Use the options
in the Support article or open Windows File Explorer and search yourself
for *.fdb files.

But my problem is that I can't update to Legacy 10, because I don't
have Legacy 9 to upgrade it from. Sure, I could install Legacy 10, but
then I would still have no tree there. I could create a gedcom from my
Genes reunited tree, but as someone said, gedcom is the last resort! I
have an external hard-drive plugged into my laptop, so perhaps it
might be on there. But if it's gone from the laptop, it will probably
be gone from there too!
Should I reset laptop to an earlier time and see if it reappears,
perhaps? Thank you, Sarah

Legacy 10 has it's own big blue circle with a white "L. Hover your
mouse over the icon, if it reads Legacy 9, delete it. That one won't
work. Since you updated, you no longer have Legacy 9 on your
computer. Go to Start, show all apps, scroll down to located the
Legacy 10 icon. At least, that was all that I had to do. Then pinned
it to Start and I dragged the icon to where I wanted it.

Legacy gave me, but none of them come up with my tree. Even where I
had it saved in my computer files, there are just 2 sample files of
that other silly tree. Please help. as I need to upgrade to 10, but
how can I when my tree has just disappeared from everywhere? I was
only using it the other day! Would resetting my laptop to an earlier
time help, please? It is Windows 11, and I had the free Legacy 9 edition.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

2024-06-14 Thread Cathy Pinner

Sarah,
You will probably see your file in the Recent File list if you haven't
moved or deleted it.
The Recent File List is found by clicking the L top left corner of the
Legacy screen if the L is larger than the title bar. If it isn't, you'll
see a System Ribbon tab and it's on that instead. It depends on the
Design Style you are using.
Here's the support article on finding a lost file:
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=I-lost-my-family-file---id--K-I9BVL_R5SkFN6sY2Vaeg>

It's possible that Options > Customise 1.2 is no longer pointing to the
file you want to automatically open.
It's also possible that you haven't set Options > Customise 6.1 and 6.2
to where you want your file to be.

Another possibility is that your Documents folder is inside OneDrive
because you asked OneDrive to sync it or you agreed to let Windows
backup your data. If so, you need to go to the OneDrive settings and
make sure it is keeping local copies of your files as well as syncing
them to the OneDrive cloud.

I'd do everything before using a Gedcom, especially if you use

Have you checked the DLL file as in the Knowlege Base article?

with this.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with Search/Find

2024-06-12 Thread Cathy Pinner


You don't use a Detailed Search to find a person in Legacy.
The quickest way is to go to Index View. In the Surname box at the top 
type Surname, Given Name. it probably would show your person before you 
finished typing the Given Name.
If you use the Given Name box, you type Given Names, Surname. Note the 
comma. It's unnecessary to add a space after it before the other part of 
the name.

The Name List search boxes work the same way.

I suggest you Reset the Report options and then choose your particular

/Children from this marriage were:/

/6 i. Frederick Surname1 /

/ii. Frederica Alice Surname2 was born on (DOB) in Town, State, 
Australia./


*/Another name for Private is Freda./*

It is the last line that I want to suppress.

Ancestry Report - in the Privacy Options for Report Options, I have

include private individuals

    marriages

    child-parent relationships

none of the other Private setting there seem appropriate, to make not 
private.

It's highly unlikely that Legacy will add code to check whether you are 
entering a duplicate number when saving a new number since it has this 
check in Check/Repair.

Hello fellow Leggers,

I have been placing a zero in the FAG field when I know there's a 
grave but don't know the cemetery.  So YES I have duplicates but they 
haven't been any problem to me or to running Legacy.


If the FAG field is made unique I will come up with some other method 
to suit my needs.


Cheers! -- Dave N.

Do any of you see why Find a grave numbers should not be made a unique 
field.
In order to not allow a duplicate entry. I have for a second time 
requested this feature and am hoping that there is not a problem 
somewhere else that I have not considered.


My program crashes often  and always has a duplicate or two in the 
error report.
It is the only reason I can find for these crashes. It takes three 
runs at  File maintenance to get up and running again.


If you have an objection to making this field unique please post it/
If not and you agree with my poorly stated state of affairs, send a 
request for feature to Legacy via the  request feature in the "Help/ 
request featurte"  drop down.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unique identifier

2024-01-23 Thread Cathy Pinner


Jenny,
The RIN is fairly stable but not completely.
As Ian Macaulay says, when you find you have duplicates, one RIN is lost 
and in addition may be re-assigned to someone in a completely different 
branch.
Also occasionally people encounter errors that can only be fixed by 
exporting your Legacy file to a new Legacy file. The RIN is not 
necessarily preserved in this process though may be. At least now the 
Added Date is preserved when you do that. I recall having to use 
Microsoft Access to copy and paste them over to the relevant table as 
best I could.


Name files with a convention that makes sense to you.
I mainly name with a code for the content. eg GRO B[for birth] Harris 
1857, eg 1871 Harris Uxbridge for an 1871 Census. I don't include Census 
or a code as I assume it for England but as I find people in Canadian 
censuses I will include CACen. For photos I start with a code indicating 
where the photo came from. eg the initials or name of the person. When I 
scanned I used the name and an increasing number. So eg Eva137. Later I 
added more detail to the filename. eg Marg 1962

Merge comes quickly to mind.  Rins will get messed up. Especially 
when, as I do reusing all deleted numbers.

Hi Jenny

I document my people by last name, first name, date of birth (or 
approximate if I don’t know it) so I can sort on time if I need to and 
then RIN number.  As you pointed out – it is unique and therefore 
can't be confused.  I hope others use it. Using the RIN number has 
often stopped me from making mistakes.  I also attach the RIN number 
to all my source file names and any other documents or photo file 
names I manage to collect over the years.

*Subject: *[LegacyUG] Unique identifier

I have just watched a Legacy webinar on document filing and whereas
there was a lot of good sense spoken, one thing stuck out to me as
ridiculous.

The present prefaced her document filenames with the surname, forename
and year of birth of the person concerned.  he went on to say that if
there was more than one person with the same names and date of birth she
would include the death year.  That's fine if you *know* the birth
and/or death year of people and in the days when choice of names was
limited and infant deaths  numerous, it would not be surprising to have
2 people of the same name being born and dying in the same years.  And
how often does one not know the birth and/or death year of a person?

Why on earth not use the unique identifier provided by Legacy - the RIN.
  This is generated by Legacy every time a new person is added to a file
(but the user has the option to swap these around if desired.)  Smith,
John 1234 or Doe, Jane 5678 is never going to be confused with anyone
else and is never going to change - even if you find out one day that
you have the wrong birth/death year for that person

I defy anyone to come up with a good reason why using the RIN is not the
best way to uniquely identify a person in a Legacy fie.  (There's a
challenge!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicate Marriage

2024-01-15 Thread Cathy Pinner


Wes,

You unlink the marriage you don't want. You do this from the Spouse List 
opened with the icon under her in Family View.
You can't do that if there are children linked to that marriage so you 
have to make sure all children are linked to the marriage you want to keep.
One way to sort this is to turn off Show 1/2 kids in the child area so 
you can clearly see which marriage the children are linked to. You can 
do that by right clicking in the area and toggling the View > 1/2 kids.  
You can cycle through multiple spouses by clicking to the side of the 
spouse with multiple relationships in the database.
Then to change the parents for a child, put them in the centre of Family 
View and use their Parent list to link to the right set and unlink from 
the wrong set.
You'll want to take note of the MRINs for each duplicate marriage to 
make this process easier.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding Sources without attached media

2024-01-11 Thread Cathy Pinner


Thanks Jenny.
that's interesting findings. I hadn't checked that.

Were you able to use the Scrapbook to get the lists? I know it's not as 
easy to work with but it's the best available.

It certainly seems to!  I have just created a new file with 2
individuals and a couple of phoney Sources and added photos to the 2
Sources attached to a Birth and to an Event.  Another picture is
attached to a person in their Media Gallery.

In all cases, the pictures which have been attached have a + next to
the name when I view the folder under Picture Filename in the Picture
Centre.  Other pictures in the same folder which are not linked in any
way to the Legacy file have no symbol in the U column.

This does seem slightly at variance with "The U column to the left of
the file names indicates whether or not each picture has been attached
to someone in your family file already.  The + means that picture in
that folder has been attached to someone.  The - means that file name
has been attached to someone but from a different picture folder." as
stated in Help.  As I said, all 3 images in my test file have a + in
the U column although each is attached to only 1 Source and the Source
used only once.  In my working Legacy file I think the majority of the
Source images have a - in the U column.

I have separate folders for every Census and only save the image to
one relevant folder, so certainly in the case of Census images the
part about the fine name being "attached to someone but from a
different folder" definitely doesn't apply.

Jenny

I don't think the Picture Centre lets you know if an image is linked to 
a Source Citation. Only if it is linked to an individual or marriage.

You can't link images to Sources from the Picture Centre.

If you go instead to the Scrapbook (View > Scrapbook or Reports > Other 
Reports > Scrapbook - they both take you to the same place) then there 
is the option to choose just Master Sources and / or Source Citation 
Detail and use Print Media File list to see further options and get the 
list of linked media and what it is linked to.


Before clicking the Print Media File List button, note you can choose 
what types of Media files you want included.


Cheers,
Cathy

As I have been researching for over 20 years and have nearly 8,000

gone to the Picture Centre, selected a folder containing images
attached to Source Citations (usually Censuses) and deleted those
which had no - or + in the first column, indicating that they were not
attached to any individual's citations.

It only now occurs to me (somwhat belatedly, I realise!) that if one
of these images SHOULD have been linked to someone but had been
accidentally overlooked, it will not show up as a "missing file" when
I run the Media Relinker because it never was linked in the first
place. The Picture Centre allows me to run down the list of
Individuals and see where they have images attached to them as
Individuals or to their Events, but is there a way to find Events
which have images attached to their Source Citation.

I would like, for example, to look at all citations of the 1881
England Census and see that they all have an image attached.  Possible
or not?

Re: [LegacyUG] File savng and charting

2023-12-28 Thread Cathy Pinner


Sarah,
The recent file list will probably tell you where your file is. Put that 
location in Options > Customise 6.1. If you want it somewhere else, you 
can move a family file by using File > Rename File and instead of 
renaming it, choose a different folder. You can save a copy of your 
family file in a different location by using File > Save File As. 
However it's best to not have multiple copies of your family file 
scattered around your computer. Instead have multiple backup data zips 
and make sure you know how to use File > Restore File.
You can set Options > Customise 1.2 to open the last used file 
automatically. That I think is the default setting. I set it to open a 
particular file in a particular location and do open the Sample file as 
I'm a beta tester and mainly using a beta version of the program. But 
when you're not a beta tester you can set it to open your preferred 
family file.

Thanks so much for your help, Cathy, especially since it was 
originally someone's else's query
I clicked the big blue "L" as you suggested, and it worked. It showed 
two sample files, anyone with my name, so Ican get to it easily.
I might still look into Option, from top menu, and then 1.2, and see 
if there is somewhere to save my family tree, for all time!


Kind regards, Sarah

Sarah,
Another way to find your file is to use the Recent File List but do 
check your setting at Options > Customise 1.2. It must be set to open 
the Sample file or you are somehow doing something that is losing your 
settings every time. Do make sure that there is are local copies for 
the files in the active/Windows recognised Documents file and that 
some sort of occasional syncing isn't overwriting that with old 
copies. I guess if that is what is happening it may interfere with the 
Recent File list.
The Recent File List is found by clicking the L top left corner of the 
Legacy screen if the L is larger than the title bar. If it isn't, 
you'll see a System Ribbon tab and it's on that instead. It depends on 
the Design Style you are using. You'll see a list of the files that 
have been opened recently in order of opening and you click on the one 
you want.

Re: [LegacyUG] File savng and charting

2023-12-26 Thread Cathy Pinner

What file, if any, opens when you open Legacy is controlled by Options > 
Customise 1.2
The folder Legacy expects your data file to be in is the one you specify 
at Options > Customise 6.1.
You do not have to use the Legacy Default of ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\Data\ folder
If you have your data file in folder that is syncing with the Cloud, 
make sure it is keeping local copies on your computer.
The Documents folder may be in OneDrive depending on your OneDrive 
settings. If OneDrive is on your computer, you often have to check 
regularly whether it is keeping local copies and whether it has your 
Windows Documents folder inside of it or not. It will have a Documents 
folder probably but it may not be the one Windows is recognising. I 
don't sync my Documents folder with OneDrive so the one Legacy uses is 
not in OneDrive but there is still a Documents folder there.
Your Legacy settings are stored in ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\_AppData\ folder in whichever Documents folder is being recognised 
by Windows. If you move the Legacy Family Tree folder or rename it, it 
will be recreated with Legacy defaults.


I'd start by restarting your computer. That's a Restart which is a 
complete clearing our of memory and starting. Unless you've turned off 
Fast Start, the operating system is simply hibernated when you ShutDown.


The Restart may solve your Charting issue. If not, you may need to 
reinstall Legacy. I'd first try reinstalling without uninstalling first. 
Note Charting settings are held in ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\LegacyCharting  So this is another thing that will be mixed up if 
the \Legacy Family Tree\ folder has been moved or renamed or is syncing 
with a cloud without a local copy being kept on the computer.


If Legacy isn't asking you to backup your file when you exit, then 
either you haven't made any changes to the database or you have lost the 
setting in Options > Customise 12.5 on the Prompts/Reminders tab.


Hope that helps.
If it doesn't, contact Support. supp...@legacyfamilytree.com

Re: [LegacyUG] Billing

2023-12-02 Thread Cathy Pinner


Ian,
Legacy will give refunds for webinar subscriptions that were just renewed.

Everyone needs to be clear that Webinars are available on a subscription 
but Legacy is a one off purchase for a particular version. When a new 
version is released there is an upgrade price.


As I said earlier in this thread, from posts in the Facebook group, it 
seems many people don't realise or forget that they bought the program 
and a webinar subscription together. It's just the webinar subscription 
that is being renewed.
Normally an email is sent but emails don't always arrive for a variety 
of reasons, so it's a good idea to keep track of subscriptions in other 
ways or go into your account settings and turn off auto renewal. Check 
whether this cancels your sub immediately or whether you can still use 
it to the end of the subscription time.


Unless finances are very tight, I don't know why you'd do genealogy and 
not have a webinar subscription as continuing genealogy education is 
important and the Legacy Webinars are the cheapest way to polish your 
skills and learn new ones.

She purchased Legacy about 2½ years ago using a credit card. Today she

without request for authorization, or any communication.


Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation?

Estelle,

This is probably a webinar subscription. For some reason, some people 
don't get the email reminder that the subscription is due for renewal.  
I think sometimes people don't even realise they bought a package for 
Legacy that included the webinar subscription.
She can contact Sales if she doesn't want it now and they generally 
reimburse.

Hi Everybody,


I have a strange issue with a brand new Desktop computer, wherein 
Legacy itself might take 20-30 seconds to load at first start of the day.
It's quite disconcerting when it happens, especially as this machine 
should be (and is) an absolute flyer.



My old desktop clunker was getting a bit long in the tooth, so the 
guts of my upgrade is:



13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz
Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB, M.2 NVMe
32 GB RAM
Windows 11 Home, Ver. 23H2, 64 bit
Legacy 9.0.0.443 with 10,000 names

I'm reaching out to see what others think of this, and I wondering the 
obvious simple thing, like, is it an issue of a lack of memory ? 
Should I double it to 64 GB ? Or make the RAM larger ?


The re-install of Legacy went fine, and without issue, and I continue 
to carry on my research, do backups, and the odd bit of editing. As I 
said after the first start of Legacy, all's well, and I can work away 
all day if I like.


I thought there might be a slim chance this issue has been dealt with 
before and resolved by a simple tweak, so I'd love to hear the 
technical types throw their solutions my way.




Many thanks
David Cripps in Tasmania

Re: [LegacyUG] I am afraid I have another crazy question

2023-11-01 Thread Cathy Pinner


Angus,
Legacy won't necessarily go straight to the folder with your backup zips 
in it, particularly if your backup location is an external drive. You 
may need to navigate to it when using File > Restore File and you do 
have to choose which backup zip you want to restore. You can restore to 
a different filename and you should practice this. Call it test or 
something. You can provide the new filename at different stages in the 
restore process. Legacy will warn you if there is a file of the same 
name in the folder you are restoring to and you can rename at that 
stage. If you're not confident using a backup, it doesn't give you the 
same peace of mind.  Once you've seen it restored and then with the 
restored file open use File > Delete File.


It's far better to use the backup zip for your data than copy and paste 
your Legacy family file with all its secondary files. The backup zips 
them all together and adds a date and time to the filename of the zip. 
Also far easier than copying and pasting files or dragging and dropping.


You can use the media backup as well but I keep my Legacy Media in 
Dropbox and backup my Dropbox folders to external drives regularly so I 
have a copy in the cloud and locally on external drives if my computer 
fails. Media doesn't need to be backed up so often.


Cathy

Bob Austen 
Thursday, 2 November 2023 10:37
The computer won't necessarily 'find' your backup file - depending on 
how you 'back it up".
If you do 'backup' when Legacy prompts you (or File/Backup) it will 
backup to your computer. Then you can Restore it by going to File/Restore.
I do a quick backup to my computer whenever I do something a little 
'risky' like a big merge.  To do that I go to the file location and do 
a 'copy' and then 'paste' of the Family File. (you get a 'filename - 
copy.fdb" file with date and time stamp)  I have a 1.5GB file and that 
takes me _30 seconds_. If I do mess up my main file then I can delete 
it and rename my copy so I can continue from the point before I 
screwed up!

I also use this method to do a quick backup to a USB drive.
This doesn't backup the media but you could take the same approach 
there. However I take a little differently for the media as I have 
about 12GB and copy/paste takes quite a while.


I keep periodic backups of my Family file (using the copy/paste 
method) to the main drive of my computer, a second backup to a second 
hard drive on my computer, another to a flash drive, another to 
Dropbox. I also have a backup drive connected to my computer.
Overly cautious, maybe, but I have been in IT for over 40 years and 
have never had a catastrophic data loss.


Bob




Angus MacLean 
Thursday, 2 November 2023 07:21
What Jenny Benson stated about how to Backup your Legacy File is 
accurate to a point but will the program find your file in the new 
location. I am having major difficulty copying the file to another 
location (e.g. external backup) in the event my computer crashes. I 
would be grateful to learn the proper method.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to configure Family View ?

2023-10-22 Thread Cathy Pinner


Ian,
I also use Best Fit columns. If I want to see a grid with the children, 
I switch to Descendant View and limit the number of generations showing.
You can change the View for the Child list as Margaret says or just 
right click on the Child area of Family View and use View from the Right 
Click menu. So you could move back and forth from the Child Grid if you 
prefer it. I assume you know you can customise the columns for the Child 
Grid, Descendant View and Index View and save several different sets and 
switch between them easily.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - which would be appropriate?

2023-10-07 Thread Cathy Pinner


Ian,
I think you have to play with the reports and charts and also think 
about what the group is interested in and how much they are interested.
I work with Descendant Charts from the relevant grandparents and then 
ancestors with grandparents in the second generation. To do this I have 
a fake person with a family photo as  "sibling" of my parent and run 
Ancestor charts/books from that person but make them Invisible for 
Descendant Chart/books.
However next time I'd include a chart from the best known set of great 
grandparents showing just the lines to the second/third cousins known to 
the family. To do this I'd do what I do to show relationship between DNA 
matches. Use the Relationship Calculator Options to tag relationship 
lines, then export the tag group to a new temporary file and chart from 
there.

I would appreciate advice about some Legacy reports (and perhaps 
charts – not sure).


I don’t use the reports much, and lately only those with (Legacy 
Family Tree names) *Ancestor Book (#1) *and *Descendant Book (#2)*.


For a get-together of relatives on my father’s side, I want to 
generate a small number of printed or PDF reports, though I can see 
that those (#1, #2) when more than about 4 generations they can be 
many pages.


Is there one that is suitable, that includes  ancestors of my father 
and also includes his father _and all of his father’s siblings_, and 
then those ancestors from his grandfather back several more generations?


(I think that reflects the interests of the group that will be meeting 
in a few weeks).


Or would it be more appropriate to display those siblings (ie, those 
at the level of my grandfather) in a separate report or as a cart?

I would like to add a very simple enhancement to my Descendant Book 
Report - at the very top pages


The Heading Layout has a section "Title at the top of Page 1"  where 
the template is   Descendants of [*FullName*]


So, it generates *Descendants of David Thomas* - when within a 
_Descendant view_ in Legacy interface, I have set a descendants of N 
generations for that individual.


It would be nice to be able to enhance this to include the parameters  
[*Birth Date*]  and  [*Death Date*] after the selected top-level 
person's name.


Can I do that?

It would be nice to display *Descendants of David Thomas (Abt 1810 - 4 
Jun 1887)*


.. and to have it nicely centred and placed on the pages, by 
configuring the _Heading Layout_ within the designer.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Descendant Book Reports - configuration is a bit 
convoluted, but excellent display


I have been creating some Descendant Book Reports and it appears to 
have some peculiarities, which I thought were minor problems.


Specifically, I created a report with 5 generations, and with its Name 
Index, 2-column, it was 23 pages in length.


It has a Table of Contents, and that has the very helpful First 
Generation, Second Generation,   ..., Fifth Generation, and  Name 
Index  page numbers.


(these were on pages 1,3,9,16,20, and 22)

For some reason, I was not getting a page number on any of the 23 
pages. The Page Setup |  Headings and Page Numbers tab  seems to be 
the place to set this to give a centred page number at the bottom.


Getting to the report settings for this is in itself a little 
confusing: the Report Options tab at the base of the 
configuration/settings needs to be selected, but it is the right 
margin area of that - the non-coloured, narrow section with a box   [ 
Page Headers, Footers... ]  which must be clicked.


(a bit hard to describe - needs some step-by-step pictures of the 
report settings)


Then, the Page Number Position section of that page requires attention 
to select Bottom Centre.

I don't use two screens but among those who do I've heard them advise 
to keep Legacy on the primary screen. This is more important if 
sometimes you use only one. If you always use two then you need to 
move every screen that opens to the monitor you want it on. I don't 
know whether that works for the pop-ups. For other screens, Legacy 
remembers where they were and to reset them you need to delete 
Legacy2.usr from ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\usr\ folder

No.  When you click on the Copy to Clipboard icon at the bottom right

There are buttons for those options.  I could be wrong, but I don't

I think you are talking about the Prompt for Detail on the Source

I leave it on because I often change source on the clipboard and 
forget I have.

Thanks Jenny,

No I don't think you can turn that off. I wouldn't turn it off anyway. 
It's a reminder to check whether or not I've finished with the source I 
have on the clipboard.

I don't use that copy to clipboard very often.

No.  When you click on the Copy to Clipboard icon at the bottom right
of the Assigned Sources screen you are asked "The Source Clipboard
currently contains a Source.  Do you want to Overwrite it or Cancel?"
There are buttons for those options.  I could be wrong, but I don't
think you can switch off that prompt.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing

2023-09-18 Thread Cathy Pinner


Jane,
I don't understand what you mean.
When the Source Clipboard is opened with the triangle, you can change 
the detail or you can change the Master Source on it. When it opens as a 
result of having Prompt for Detail checked, you can only change the 
source detail.
Whatever is on the clipboard is applied when you click to apply it to a 
particular field or to all used fields. If you don't have Prompt for 
Detail checked, you don't get to review what is on the clipboard.


One of the reasons I keep Prompt for Detail checked is that I often 
change Master Source by right clicking on the Source Clipboard Triangle 
and choosing a different saved source. I often save not just the Master 
Source but "boiler text" for the Source Detail. I need to check which 
Master Source is on the clipboard and adjust the Source detail as 
appropriate.

Re: [LegacyUG] What does "Rebuild Source Citations" do?

2023-08-04 Thread Cathy Pinner


Fred,
No this won't check whether you've been consistent in your data entry 
for sources. It's an internal database check.


What you can use for your task is the Source Citation Report. Use the 
option to tag a Master Source and just produce the report for one or two 
sources at a time or you'll be overwhelmed. Note the report has a lot of 
options. It can just give a Master Source summary or it can include all 
citations and who and what they're linked to.
If you want to see the Source List Name for your Master Sources you need 
to use List Style.

Check all the tabs for the report.
Save the report to PDF so you can have it open and edit in Legacy as 
required.

I was trying to solve some bugs, and somewhere within Legacy (I don't 
remember where), I came across the option to "Rebuild Source 
Citations". The bugs were not related to sources, but out of 
curiosity, I clicked on it, thinking another screen would pop-up which 
would make it clearer what it was about, or would provide options. 
Instead, it immediately went through my database to perform the 
function. When completed, there was no message. I checked some of my 
sources but did not notice any changes. What did "Rebuild Source 
Citations" do to my database? I cannot find a reference to it in 
Legacy Help.

On Family view, click your Spouse icon when you are in one of the centre

Highlight the unknown spouse and click Unlink.
Just clicking the marriage information screen can add a spouse/partner

[LegacyUG] SPAM Re: Question - best method to export a subset to new Legacy database

2023-06-14 Thread Cathy Pinner


Ian,

How familiar are you with Advanced Tagging in Legacy? Read up on what 
Entire Ancestor Tree tagging and Entire Descendant Tree tagging mean. 
They are powerful but don't work usefully if there are multiple links 
between branches in your family.


How familiar are you with using View > Trees to tag groups of people? 
Trees does not auto update so don't forget to click Refresh. Each tree 
is named by the person in it with the lowest RIN. You can use Tools > 
Renumber RINs so that island of people are named by someone you 
recognise or you can add a note in Privacy brackets to the name of 
person in that tree with the lowest RIN.

Here are other ways to Split a File.


I wouldn't split if you intend to keep updating both files. I'd only 
split in order to give part of my file to someone else.
If you need to collect together the media linked to the smaller file, 
use the Media backup to zip it together. This won't affect what is 
linked in the larger file.
You could then send that media to someone else or, if desired, unzip it 
to a completely different folder and tell Legacy that that is where the 
media for that file is. Options > Customise 6.2 is family file specific. 
The Media Relinker can relink provided you don't change the actual 
filenames.

I would appreciate suggestions from those more expert than I am in 
using Legacy Family Tree program.


I decided some time ago to put “everyone” into the same .FDB file. I 
find it easy to use the Tags and to search, and I am familiar with the 
various “families” that do not actually relate at all to my tree.


But I want to export a fairly large number of individuals from one 
“family”, to be used within a separate .FDB file.


There may be a tutorial at Legacy FT website, but I have not explored 
that.


My idea is that I tag them, starting from the (several) most-recent 
and working up (further in the past), thereby tagging and exporting 
those from biologically unrelated families further in the “horizontal” 
direction.


I do NOT want to delete those individuals from my main (very large) 
Legacy database.


For those that I want to export, there would not be many/any 
associated images or other entities (files) not within my .FDB database.


Is this a reasonable method? And what are the explicit commands needed 
to get all (say) Tag 8 exported to a single .FDB file?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to retrieve a backup

2023-04-05 Thread Cathy Pinner


Di Christensen,

First tell your daughter to leave the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\ 
folder alone. If it is moved or renamed, it is recreated with default 
settings which may be why a different file opened in Legacy. Helpful 
people like to put all your genealogy in one folder etc etc and this 
can't be done with this Legacy folder. You can choose to keep your data 
and media and backups elsewhere but not the Legacy settings.


Second check your Recycle Bin for any .fdb files in case she deleted 
your most recent file OR ask her where she moved stuff to.


Third, if you have a current/recent backup - the Backup zips have dates 
as part of the zip file/folder name as well as times - then use File > 
Restore File in Legacy and find the latest data backup zip file/folder 
(the media backups have media as part of the filename) and restore your 
file. If you get a warning that you are about to overwrite a file, 
provide a different filename.


You could also search your computer in Windows File Explorer for *.fdb 
files. You'll see some if you just click the Start button and type fdb

Use the Name List
You can either leave the RIN and customise the Print by adding the User

still need to customise the Print to include the User ID.

See the Options in the Name List for both Print and Show User ID in List.

David,
That's the way.
I'm not an Excel guru either but it's pretty easy to learn to sort by a 
column in Excel.
You click the column header to highlight the column and then find Sort 
or A-Z on the toolbar and click that. If it asks to extend the 
selection, you do so the data stays together properly and you don't end 
up with your great grandfather labelled as your first cousin.
There are YouTube videos that tell you how to do stuff like this. Also 
Legacy webinars on Excel.

Re: [LegacyUG] Still no solution regarding marriage records

2022-12-02 Thread Cathy Pinner


Linda,
You are not doing anything wrong. Images linked directly to a Marriage 
can only be printed as part of a Scrapbook. This has been the case since 
Legacy was first released in 1998 and no solution acceptable to the 
programmers has been found.
If you want a Wedding picture in your report, you need to link it to a 
Marriage Custom Event. That way you can use the Event Notes to describe 
the photo or the occasion ... It does not need to repeat the marriage 
data. Call the Event Photo or Wedding Photo or whatever you like. Define 
the Event Sentences for it. eg [CoupleFirstNames] on their wedding day.  
or just [Notes]
Note if you want birth etc pics in a Book Report, you also need to link 
them to a Custom event.

I'll try explaining this again regarding the Family Group sheet.
Birth: there's an icon under notes for adding images which links to
the birth record and the preferred image can be printed on the FGS and
the Individual Information page
Baptism: the process is the same as above.
Death:  ditto
Burial:  ditto
Marriage:  ditto  The same icon is available, I can add the image. BUT
I cannot get that image to print on any report except in the
footnotes/sources.

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone else get their marriage certificate
image to show on the FGS or the Individal Report?

So, do I have to create another event within Marriage events which
says the same thing as what I already entered in the top section of
the marriage data?  That is redundancy and it does not create a nice
read on any of the report.

Or, do I created an Marriage event from the Individual Information
page? - then we are back to the repeating the same data and an awkward
printed report.

There is an English/Wales 1921 Census SourceWriter template. If you 
haven't found it, you are behind in updating Legacy 9.  I'm not sure 
whether something different will be required when Scotland gets around 
to releasing it.


I haven't yet tackled how to source the 1921 Census as I've been waiting 
for it to come on subscription. Now it has but I'm waiting until my sub 
to FMP is due late December to upgrade for otherwise I would be kind of 
paying twice. It's interesting but not vital to my research. I have 
found a few people in the free search and confirmed a couple of 
households via searching.


I understood from a very early webinar on the 1921 census that piece and 
schedule number weren't enough as the schedule number can be repeated 
for a particular piece. How easy it is to see the full TNA reference, I 
don't know as I haven't paid to look at any transcripts or images.

I haven't found the UK 1921 Census easy to navigate either! The was 
never a problem with the previous UK censuses but this one presents a 
real conundrum.


I would also like to find out how others are handling it.

Thanks everyone

How are other LUGgers handling the 1921 Census, for which there isn't 
- yet - a SourceWriter template?


Firstly, there seems to be some confusion about precisely what 
comprises a "correct" reference.  Some people seem to think that 
something along the lines of RG15-n-xxx will suffice (where n 
is the Piece number and xxx the Schedule number, whereas others are 
saying that this does not always relate to ONE individual record and 
that to ensure that it does so it is necessary to include the tri-part 
District Reference.


Secondly, unlike with earlier Censuses, including the 1911, the 
address of the household is not shown on the "main image", nor any 
reference information.  The address and Schedule number are shown in 
two separate images.  To provide a fully authentic Source citation, 
need one include all 3 images?


I have only accessed a couple of 1921 records so far and the best 
method of recording them seems to be to use the template for the 1911 
Census, typing a space in the first field (otherwise RG78 is 
automatically included in the citation) and leaving the 2nd field 
blank, but filling all the other fields as indicated.  It may be 
"overkill" to include all this, but it makes for consistency with the 
1911 Census.  So far, I have only included the main image with each 
citation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Using a cloud service

2022-10-20 Thread Cathy Pinner


Dave
Dropbox and iDrive are two completely different types of cloud service.
iDrive is primarily a cloud backup service.
Dropbox began as a cloud syncing service to sync a folder from your 
computer to the cloud and optionally to other devices. So it has a 
dedicated folder on your computer that in many ways works the same way 
as any other folder but it also syncs to the Dropbox Cloud copy.


I use Dropbox and I have my Legacy linked media in a Dropbox sub-folder.
Then in Legacy I tell Legacy that is where my Legacy Media is using 
Options > Customise 6.2
I backup Legacy data to a Dropbox sub-folder so my I have a backup out 
of the house in a minute or less (used to take 5 minutes plus but I now 
have a faster internet connection).
I don't use the Legacy media backup as my media is already organised 
under one folder and it is already both on my computer and in the 
Dropbox cloud. In addition I backup my Dropbox folder to external hard 
drives periodically so I have a local backup.


I could keep my Legacy family files in Dropbox. If you do, you have to 
make sure that they are only being accessed from one computer at a time 
and you allow for the syncing up to complete and the syncing down to 
complete before opening Legacy on another computer. Otherwise you'll get 
conflicted copies.
It's also a good idea to pause syncing while doing File Maintenance > 
Check/Repair. If you don't you may encounter errors.
If I kept my Legacy family file(s) in a Dropbox sub-folder then I'd tell 
Legacy that's where they are at Options > Customise 6.1


What you can't do is move the whole ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\ 
folder into Dropbox and expect to keep your Legacy settings that are 
saved in ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder
When Legacy doesn't find that folder in your Documents folder, it 
recreates it using Legacy default settings.


Learn how Dropbox works. It can now be used as a more extensive cloud 
backup service but when you're thinking about Legacy it's probably the 
syncing aspect that you are interested in so you can use Legacy on 
different computers with both connected to the cloud.


Hope that helps explain the basics of using Legacy with a cloud service 
like Dropbox.
If you just want backup, iDrive is fine. You leave Legacy stuff where it 
is and just choose to backup those folders like your Documents folder. 
Again you need to learn how it works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Delete Family File

2022-10-07 Thread Cathy Pinner


Jack,
When you use File > Delete File, it deletes the currently open file 
only. If you still have the file without Copy in the name, it will 
remain when you delete the ones with Copy in their name.
It sounds like there's not a problem if something does go wrong as you 
still have the file on an external drive.

Hi Everyone.  I have a question about deleting a Family File.The

am deleting. Here is the situation.
In Jan 2022 I purchased a new laptop PC. I had a lot of problems with
it. I took a backup before hand of everything on a seperate hard drive
and the old PC also had a copy of everything. Support in both the
manufacturer and Windows worked on it. Windows Support on two
different occasions replaced the Windows 10 program. As you know even
though you are prepared this is devastating. In the end the
manufacturer agreed to take the PC back for a full return of funds and
I purchased a PC of a different manufacturer. The new one is running
perfectly fine. I didn't lose any data but deleting and reinstalling
the Windows 10 twice as I mentioned left me with two additional copies
of a family file, shown as Copy and Copy 2.
With *copy" Family open when I click on DELETE FAMILY FILE. and it
does so, and follow up with deleting Family "copy 2" my question is:
Question-will the actual file still remain in documents in  the
"Legacy Family File."? That is what I want to end up with. I also have
the original of this family still in tack and go to it once in a
while. I don't want both copies shown on the list of family files.
I am just being cautious so I don't delete the whole family.
I will appreciate all thoughts sent me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources

2022-10-02 Thread Cathy Pinner


Jane,
Your PDF reader will have a Search function.
I'm not in the USA so putting location first makes no sense to me but I 
understand it does in the USA.
Re your books - in the Source List Name you can put what family or area 
is covered - you don't have to stay with the Title in the Source List Name.
I also add that type of data when sourcing online trees. I rarely just 
have an online tree for the source unless it's for the tree owner and 
their immediate family - but I like to include trees if they've provided 
major clues. The Tree name often doesn't reference my family of interest 
so I'll add desc. of our common ancestor.

Hi, Cathy,

Very interesting idea on listing your sources. I think I may steal the

to records. For instance I do “MA – Worc, Co – Mendon – x” and
find that convenient. But that is a great idea on listing the books I
have as sources. Problem remains title of the book is not necessarily
even one of my family names. Like the one I’m currently working on.

I’m familiar with using Find in docs and notes and things like that
but am wondering if searching a .pdf works the same way.

It helps to work out how you are going to use the Source List Name and

Source List Name with a code for the type of source (eg Book, PR for

Is anyone familiar with importing an old .paf file into a new Legacy file?

I know it can be done directly from *.paf into Legacy, but I am 
experiencing a problem that needs to be fixed. It has to do with 
importing census events. During the import, census events are created 
as such; however the census data itself is placed in the General 
Notes, rather than within the census event. Thus, when creating a 
descendant report, the information is not presented as it should be.


There are simply too many of these to try to cut 'n paste or drag 'n 
drop. I would hope there is some way in the import setup to make sure 
the data is placed within the census event.


Thanks for any suggestions!

Do both types of notes finish up with the person in their notes ?

I have hugh number of notes and events per person – are they lost ?

It's not a good idea to upload to an online tree, add data to the

Re: [LegacyUG] When Cousins Marry

2022-08-16 Thread Cathy Pinner


Crystal,
Take a look at the Title Page before you Preview. Perhaps you set it for 
a particular person at a different time.


When creating a Multiple line of Descent Report, for it to be in any 
rational order, look at the pedigree view for the person for whom you 
want all descendants of their ancestors in the one book. Then working 
from the top down, collect the MRINs.
Make sure you set it to Not repeat duplicate lines, then everyone will 
be included for the first couple but the others will stop when they 
reach the generation where the descendants would repeat what has already 
been included.


Yes if you have a large tree, you will end up with a very large "book". 
I wouldn't even attempt it these days except for a very restricted 
number of generations.

Crystal Emory wrote:

It's not an error message when you are told it's a duplicate line.
If you want the data printed twice click the Report Options button, go

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report showing the spouse only for each of the children

2022-08-05 Thread Cathy Pinner


Larry,
Have you reset the Report Options using the Reset button and chosen your 
options again.


If you are using the latest build, this is not something others are 
reporting for this build. I can't reproduce it but I may not have found 
someone with the right conditions.


If the Reset doesn't work, I suggest you contact Support so they can 
check it out further. supp...@legacyfamilytree.com

Cathy,

Thank you for the reply. I am using the latest - "Installed Version: 
9.0.0.414" and running it with the most recent version of Windows 10 
Professional.


Results are the same with either "Preview" or "Print" or "Preview AND 
Create PDF".


I don't understand why this occurs with a "Descendant Book" report and 
NOT with a "Descendant Chart". Something is amiss...just don't know 
what or why. As an aside, I never updated to the prior version due to 
the wording bug that was present. When this version (.414) was 
released, it appeared, that had been fixed and I opted to update. 
There is no going back, unfortunately.


Any ideas graciously accepted.

Re: [LegacyUG] Detailed Search - How Long? Not Responding

2022-07-22 Thread Cathy Pinner

Larry,
There are some strange speed issue things sometimes especially with
large databases. There is discussion of one thing that helps in this
article. It's counter intuitive. Use less cores.

http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-01072/9/Legacy-Family-Tree/If-Legacy-is-really-slow-try-this.html

Re dates in the search.
Just enter in the order you normally do. eg for 15 Jan 2001 I just enter
15 1 2001

That matches my region setting date entry.

With your search you don't give the connectors between your conditions.
I find it easier to use all AND or all OR or do two searches with the
second searching the search list. For some reason I can't get my head
around the logic of using the mix of AND and OR so it's quicker for me
to do two searches.

After 5 minutes I get “not responding” – Somehow I think I might need
to include the date in a specific format but don’t know what that

How long SHOULD a search like this take (in excess of 190,000
individuals)?

I understand OS, RAM, and CPU have much to do with this however I note
that the machine is quite fast running Windows10 Pro with 64 Gb RAM
and Intel Core i7-8700K CPU which combined should be quite fast
enough. I have both the latest version of Legacy AND the latest

Thanks for any insight –

Re: [LegacyUG] Installing Legacy 9 on second computer

2022-07-19 Thread Cathy Pinner


Robert
Download the free standard version from the Legacy website.
Then install on your new computer and use your customer number to unlock 
the Deluxe features.


Then you need to copy your data. If you plan to use both computers you 
have to decide how you are going to keep the database in sync.


There are various options:
1. You can keep both your working database and your media in one of the 
cloud syncing services like Dropbox or OneDrive or GoogleDrive.  If you 
do this you must make sure the sync is allowed to finish after closing 
Legacy on one computer before waiting for the sync to finish on the 
other computer before opening Legacy on it.
2. you can keep your working file and media on a flash drive/thumb drive 
and move that to the other computer. If you use this method, a) make 
sure you always open the file that is on the flash drive and b) make 
sure that small flash drive is always backed up elsewhere - preferably 
more than one other place, including the hard drives of both computers 
as a) they're easy to lose and b) when they fail it's very difficult to 
recover data from them.
3. you can make or transfer backups to an external drive and then 
restore them on the other computer. This is easily done for the data 
backup - media backups are trickier to restore and you probably don't 
want to do that constantly.

Re: [LegacyUG] To print a list from database of family by descendants

2022-07-17 Thread Cathy Pinner


Valerie,

If you just want the surnames then you want a Surname Summary Report 
under Reports > Other Reports BUT to confine it to just one line of your 
tree, you need to tag using Advanced Tagging, descendants only and 
export that line to a new Legacy file and create the report from that 
new file. Do use File > Delete File after generating the report so you 
don't add to your confusion of multiple files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problem Report

2022-07-16 Thread Cathy Pinner


Douglas,
PP = Potential Problem - the subject of this thread.

Tag is a way to group people in Legacy. There are 9 tags. You can see 
the tag boxes on Family View if you turn them on at Options > Customise 1.5

There are also Hashtags in Legacy 9 as 9 tags were never enough.

I now use Hashtags for more permanent groupings of people and Tags for 
temporary groupings or more groups I want to be able to see more easily 
on Family View.


You can use Tools > Advanced Tagging to tag numbers of people at the 
same time. You can also get to Advanced Tagging by right clicking a tag 
box or when in the Name List/Search List by clicking the Options button 
and choosing Advanced Tagging.


You can Hashtag a group of people all at once provided you can search 
for the people you want. Then click the Options tab in the Search list 
and Add a Hashtag to everyone in the list.


You should read the Help from each of these screens. The Help button 
takes you straight to the relevant part of the Help file.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Dropped ?"pictures in a media backup

2022-07-12 Thread Cathy Pinner

Linda,

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm following quite what you have done.

I don't think you can link to the photos within the media backup zip
using the Media Relinker. I hope you can't.

Is the Media Relinker telling you still you have 71 missing photos? If
so, perhaps you need to extract from the backup zip that has them in it.
Use Windows File Explore to extract all and it will put them where they
were. No that won't remove the new pictures. As Henry says, you'll only
have a problem if some of the file names are the same.

Do a new media backup AFTER the Media Relinker tells you that all files
are linked - no broken links - not before. This new media backup will
take the place of the ones you have.
Make sure you backup to an external drive or a folder that syncs to the
cloud or you haven't really got a backup. A backup on your hard drive is
useless if your computer fails, especially if it is the hard drive that
fails.

The other reason that photos aren't in the media backup is that the path
has got too long. Though it sounds as if you haven't rearranged your
photos.
The path from drive letter to the end of the file extension has to be
less than 260 characters. But there is some interaction with the number
of folder layers as well, so it's best to keep it under 200 characters.
C:\Users\Cathy\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media\image.jpg is 59
characters.

You have actually checked that there really is only one family file?
Many people who believe they only have one family file discover that
they actually have more than one and didn't realise.

Regards,
Cathy

But Unless you have re-used the filename nothing will be over-written.
Although you (may) have to relink.

Just put all the media in the same location from now on to avoid media

Thank you Cathy for your quick response; I have made the media backup,
relinked but this didn't solve my issue. I have not renamed them,
nor moved them. So,I think I need to rephrase my problem.

There are 71 digitized images that WERE on my C drive in the correct
folders (a setup that I have been using for several years). Those
images ARE on the June backup. There were no missing links or images
when I did the June backup. Then I had to take a break from doing any
research with this family.

Last weekend I began working on this family again and added many
images from a new resource and did a backup. I get the report that I
am now missing 71 digitized images and they are not the new ones that
I just added. The links to the missing 71 are to the correct folders
- I have done the relink. and yes, that is where they are supposed to
be. But the images are NOT on the July backup nor anywhere on my
computer EXCEPT in that June backup which is in PC > Documents >
Legacy Family Tree > Data > and then the folder for that particular
family. The relink now connects to the photos in the backup. but the
images are not on my computer other than in that backup. I don't know
where those images went or how they got deleted.

So my question is: How do I get those photos back onto my C drive
where they belong instead of just in a backup. I can't move them, I
can't copy and paste them as I don't see those options available; I
can't email them to myself to resave and then relink.

If I do a media restore, then I will lose the new images I've been
doing recently, correct?

To clarify, I have all my Legacy on my desktop; data is entered only
on this desktop and there is only the one family file.

sigh,

Linda

Your list of media folders will show [Default Media Folder]\... if the
start of the folder path was the path listed at Options > Customise 6.2
when you started using that folder. Otherwise it will show the full
actual path. If the full path is the same as what is now at Options >
Customise 6.2, you can use Search > Search and Replace on Lists - Media
Folders to change the constant part of the path to the code. Make sure
you only replace the found part of the path. Make a backup first in case
you get one of the settings wrong. Then if you mess them up you can
restore your data backup and try again.
Changing computers or changing the location of your media is very easy
if the Media Folders use the code. You just have to reset 6.2 to the new
location and all media is relinked.

Do check that you haven't been inadvertently using two different family
files. If they're all still on your computer, the ones you've opened
will show in the Recent File list. The Recent File List is found by
clicking the L top left corner of the Legacy screen if the L is larger
than the title bar. If it isn't, you'll see a System Ribbon tab and it's
on that instead. It depends on the Design Style you are using.

Is there a way to merge these two backups and to keep the old 71 that
are missing and also keep the new (no idea how many)?

Any guidance on process to copy and paste the missing ones into the
current database? By the way ALL of my pictures and documents are in
a series of folders located on my C drive named Genealogical Images,
which is also designated as my default. But yet when I do a view

Re: [LegacyUG] To print a report ???

2022-07-02 Thread Cathy Pinner


Valerie,
It sounds like you want a Family Group Report with the Report Options 
checked to include Events for the couple and for the children.
If you want Event Notes, make sure on the Include tab of the Report 
Options you not only check to include events but click the Event Options 
button and choose the items you want.
You can also check on the main Family Group Report screen to include 
Chronology Report at the end of the Family Group Report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Chart

2022-06-20 Thread Cathy Pinner


The answer is Yes.
You can use the Legacy Report under Chart Reports > Ancestor Chart. Just 
turn off the dates option in the Report Options.

Or you can use Legacy Charting and change the Theme to Compact.
Note both the Ancestor Chart Report and the Legacy Charting Ancestor 
Chart have other formatting options.

Re: [LegacyUG] Building a Book for Publishing

2022-06-09 Thread Cathy Pinner


Cindy
You need to become familiar with the various reports before you try 
combining them in the Publishing Centre.
Legacy provides a myriad of options for each report, including, for some 
reports, a number of different numbering systems. Someone else can't 
really tell you which to use. Experiment with just 2 or 3 generations 
and see what you prefer.
Non-genealogists usually find a Descendant Narrative book easier to 
follow than a Descendant Book but people differ. In a Descendant Book, 
it is arranged by generation and the link between the generations is the 
number assigned to each person when they are first listed in Child List.
The Descendant Narrative book is ordered by family and you can use the 
numbering system to find the next child in the original family. There 
entry may be pages away if the previous child had a lot of descendants.

Monday, 6 June 2022 05:21
I can think of a couple of ways, but do it on a copy of your tree
rather than the master.

1. Tag all of your wife's ancestors, and her. But you then need to
find and add all of the spouses, siblings, parents etc. Then you can
export the tagged records.

2. Preferably, I would remove your marriage and leave your children
with only one of you. You should then find that you have two trees
within the file. If it is still one then you have a link between both
sets of ancestors which you need to resolve. Once you get it to trees
then you can export one of them, or just remove one and keep the other.

Personally, and especially within a single family tree, I would never
split it. It is better to just have one tree with the same set of
locations etc, and it resolves issues with crosslinks further up.

Chris

Re: [LegacyUG] Multiple chilren & multiple marriages

2022-06-02 Thread Cathy Pinner


Fran,
It's necessary to use Tools > Set Relationships after adding, deleting, 
merging, unlinking, relinking people in your database.  When I'm 
entering data I use it at least once a day.


It sounds like either you haven't got View > Show 1/2 kids on - from the 
right click menu in the child area of Family View OR that you want the 
children attached to multiple sets of parents.


http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00537/14/Tips-and-How-Tos/How-to-add-multiple-and-single-parents-to-a-child.html

Also as part of your file maintenance, don't forget to backup and then 
use File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair regularly - depends how much 
data entry you do. Regularly at least once a month if you don't use 
Legacy a lot, every week if you enter data every day.

Now, how do I find the Event Roles that do not exist? This is my main

My mentioning of Shared Events is just a red herring, I can create, 
edit, delete event roles perfectly, and attach them to primary event's

I just need some help to FIND Event Roles that are attached to Events 
that do not exist in the Event Role list (as reported by the

Once upon a time, when it was first introduced, I purchased and used

a new (2021) product.


I have the need to travel with my LFT database again.  I realize there 
is no option to purchase an “update” to the app and don’t have an 
issue buying anew. What I am concerned about is the functionality of 
the app!  What few reviews exist on the Apple App Store site are not 
very favorable.


Is there anybody here who uses the “Families” app with success or can 
warn me of any issues I may encounter ahead of time?  The database is 
quite large, over 190,000 individuals and contains almost 1GB of media 
files.


Any input is appreciated.

[LegacyUG] SPAM Re: Re: Familysearch ID number

2022-05-13 Thread Cathy Pinner


Barbara,
If you want the FS ID on FamilyView then you need to customise the labels.
Here's how: 

I have several sets of labels for FV depending on what I'm doing. I 
usually combine birth and baptism on one line and death and burial on 
one line.
Another way of finding these people is to open Legacy FamilySearch and 
look for the Red links. You can filter by Red links

Here's how they work:

Also make sure the FS arrows are working for you. Then a red arrow 
indicates a change. You can turn them all green in Legacy FamilySearch 
module using the Update Matches button OR individually by clicking the I 
have finished sharing button. You can click this whether you've shared 
anything or not.
