Rather than create a new person and copy across the required data from the other one and then delete the incorrect data from the original person, it would be nice to be able to just duplicate everything and then selectively delete the bits that refer to the other person.

[LegacyUG] Re: Legacy 7.5 and source citation import?
I just finished my portfolio for the Board for the Certification of Genealogists (BCG). During that process I found that my SW sources did not match the Evidence Explained formats exactly and instead of being able to copy and paste, I had to hand type them correctly. I am seriously thinking about going back to the Basic so that I can format the sources correctly but I have 745 sources with God only knows how many referenced to those sources. There are some sources that have over 400 entries. It would take me YEARS to get everything correct. It's interesting that ESM apparently was a LUG subscriber for a few months after V7 was released.

The advanced Tagging feature of LTools has an ancestors plus option and setting the Generations from trunk to something huge and including spouses, seems to tag all blood relations attached to the ancestor side. That is one way to do it, but you need to make sure that the starting person is a member of the most recent generation, as that tool will not tag individuals in generations more recent than the starting person. The Henry number method will always work because it sets the user ID for everyone with a blood relationship. You asked how setting a user ID will solve your problem. You need to think out of the box.

I don't suppose there is anyone clever enough to show me the SQL?
Ideally, in two separate bits - one to set the tags and the other to do
the search and replace?
The tagging can be done with Legacy using its Advanced Tagging feature.
Let's assume you use Tag9.
As far as the SQL is concerned, first use MS Access or LTools or
whatever to look up Australia in tblLR. Write down the value of IDLR.
Then, after closing Legacy and backing up your database, run the
following UPDATE query...
UPDATE tblIR SET tblIR.IDLRBirth = {IDLR}
WHERE ((tblIR.Tag9=1) AND (tblIR.IDLRBirth=1) AND (tblIR.IDLRChris=1)
AND (tblIR.IDIR0))
Where it says {IDLR} substitute the value you got from looking up
Australia in tblLR. Change Tag9 if you used a different Tag#.
Would it be possible using the raw SQL feature of LTools?
Yes. Make sure you backup your Legacy database first, no matter which
tool you use.

If I donât amend this â i.e. removing the letter Y â the death field on

The GEDCOM 5.5 spec says...

Another way to accomplish enhancement #4 (and make a much more efficient database) is to reconfigure the data structure of the database so that a single source citation/detail record can be linked to any number of events in any number of individuals and marriages. So, when I link a source citation/detail to an event that is pasted to twelve different individuals, when I go back to change something in the source citation/detail three months later, I only have to change one source citation/detail record referenced by twelve event records, not twelve source citations/detail records referenced by twelve event records. This would be a major change to the way Legacy works (no more need for a source clipboard), and so would probably be a big pill for Millennia to swallow. Not only a big pill to swallow for Millennia, but for the users who are used to it working the way it does. When you change it you would have to pop up a warning that it will also be changed everywhere else, and maybe even have to offer the user the opportunity to break that shared citation into separate citations (in case the user only wants to change it for one individual and not the others). I remember discussing this on the LUG in my 1st couple of years on the LUG (and I've been here 9 years). It's probably not going to happen.

Do you mean you would have physically copied the .fdb and not made this automatic selection to Dropbox? Where would you have saved your .fdb before copying to dropbox? I've now gone back to doing two backups - first to a removeable USB stick and second to the c:\Legacy\Data, changing the location each time to suit. Let's leave DropBox out of the equation for now. I don't think it is the problem and including it is just confusing the issue. I've gone to options : locations and made the Default location of family files : C:\Legacy\Data Default location for pictures, sound, docs etc are C:\Legacy\Pictures\ or sound etc. Location of temporary files is set at C:\Legacy\Temp This is fine. I then did a complete drive clean up and as I suspected would happen, the .fdb in the Windows\Temporary Internet Files etc. has been deleted and Legacy has asked which family file to open. I've opened the .fdb in the latest back up zip (which by the way, adds a [1] to the name each time I open from here, so at the moment my family file name ends in [1][1][1].fdb ) After doing all this, in the Family File Information (gen. info) screen under File Information, my Family File Path is still showing as C:\Users\Tom Erica\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\9NMBQ1FW\ALL-family-current-OCT[1][1][1].fdb I don't know how your .fdb ended up here. Close Legacy and use Windows to copy ALL-family-current-OCT[1][1][1].fdb from C:\Users\Tom Erica\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\9NMBQ1FW to C:\Legacy\Data and rename the file to whatever the real name should be (ALL-family.fdb or whatever). Now open Legacy and click File Open Family File and navigate to C:\Legacy\Data and open ALL-family.fdb. Once you do this, go to Options Customize... General (tab) and set Starting Family File to Always open this file and select C:\Legacy\Data\ALL-family.fdb in the File Selection dialog. Now save your option changes. I don't doubt you when you say I'm probably causing the problem, but am now at a loss - I don't think I've ever studied the general information screen so have not noticed the path to the temporary internet file before and can't see anywhere to change this - as far as that goes, why is it saving in a temp.internet file anyway, couldn't I theoretically be using Legacy offline? So where would the file go then? I can't begin to guess how it ended up there. If I have set my locations for the temp. files to C:\Legacy\Temp, shouldn't this working file be saving there? I don't understand why is it still saving to the C:\Users etc etc. Your Legacy temp file setting has nothing to do with where your .fdb is located. Don't worry about it, it is not the problem. When you open a .fdb Legacy will save any changes you make to your family data IMMEDIATELY and DIRECTLY to that .fdb. Apart from the incident with the disappearing notes, I would just like to know that I've set up all the options and locations correctly, so any advice would be appreciated. I don't know what you mean when you said earlier I've opened the .fdb in the latest back up zip. You should never OPEN a Legacy backup.

Re: [LegacyUG] Invisible Embedded Dates ??

Has anyone on the list ever seen where Legacy would embed invisible dates that show up when you do a SEARCH and REPLACE, but when you go to the record, the dates are simply not there. I'm sure it has something to do with the gedcom import I got from my cousin to combine with our master tree. I thought maybe it was the date modified or date imported, but that is not it. What I'm doing is to put in the search function to SEARCH and REPLACE (without actually doing the replace) for EVENT-DATES where the date contains 2010 anywhere in the field. I get quite a large number of hits such as 8 September 2010, but none of the records has those dates in the record anywhere I can physically see. Weird thing I would like to get to the bottom of. Thanks, if you can help. Jerry sent me his database off list. I looked at the example of a Search Replace that he sent. It found a date of 26 August 2010. There WAS a marriage event for that individual with that date. So the date is NOT invisible. I can see it in Legacy. So this is not a problem. Jerry just forgot to look at marriage events. As to Jerry's 2nd problem... Another facet to this problem (and why I started to do these searches) is that there are some dates that do show up, such as 27 August 2010, etc., but they are attached to EVENTS that are completely blank. So, I simply delete them, but I'm not sure how I can globally delete them because there is no event name. Everything is blank except the dates. He has a bunch of marriage events that are pointing at IDET=1. IDET=1 is a reserved record. There should be no rows in tblER that point to IDET=1. I looked at the GEDCOM that he imported his data from. It was FTM as I recall. I loaded this GEDCOM into Legacy 7.5 and went to one of the couples that had the bad marriage event (IDET=1). It imported fine and the marriage event was assigned IDET=59, which was the event type of Record Change. Jerry's file with the bad event did not have a event type for Record Change. The only way I could cause this to happen in Legacy is to go to View|Master Lists|Event Definition and combine the Record Change event type with the blank event type at the top of the list. The fact that Legacy lets you do this could be considered a bug and should be reported.
