[LegacyUG] Error 3021-Dennis Murphy

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Dennis,

Try a major clean up of your locations list. Remove all "USA" from 
names. Then add it back. Then use the option to merge all of same 
places. Go into the list, sort by City, County, State, Country. Do a 
manual edit and merge of matching locations. Use the option to delete 
all unused locations. Do all the cleanup and merging of locations possible.


Repeat: Remove all "USA" from names. Then add it back.

Jay

Error 3021

This is not the first fight with this Error Number but it's the first 
one on which all the Help menu suggestions fail to solve. The final 
resort and ultimate "import to Gedcom" has not and likely, will not, 
be attempted due to it's source alterations.


I have run the Check & Repair multiple times, even twice in one 
complete Maintenance session. I have rebooted computer, tried again. 
Not sure if reinstalling the Legacy program will work but that may be 
next.


The error message reads" Location 19152 not found (1009, 81) Error 
3021" It pops up every time I try to export a portion of my large 
database to smaller Legacy family files. Running File Maintenance on 
the master or larger database produces no errors; it only happens on 
the attempted extraction of portions of the larger file - at least 
that's when I notice it always.


My questions:

Does "Location 19152" refer to a specific geographical location?

How or where can it be found?

Do the numbers in parentheses refer to individual ID numbers where 
the location is missing?


I have the latest Legacy build but hope for a new update soon to see 
if that will fix the problem. There seems to be a lot of glitches 
still floating around in Version 9 as these error messages pop up 
quite often. Usually they can be fixed by following the suggestions 
but these LOCATION ones seem to be a bear on the loose. Please help: 
I am open to any and all suggestions

Re: [LegacyUG] Find a Grave - Australia

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

I paste the info into a new event for the person, called "Burial 
Record". Use the data as a source if appropriate to add birth and death 
dates and places, even parents, spouse, children, etc., if that is 
included. Then look for more data from other sources to verify that data 
is correct. I add the appropriate info to the description field. For 
FindaGrave, that includes the "memorial number".


Then add the appropriate data to FamilySearch.org.

I haven’t made much use of the Find-A-Grave search facility for my

But I just located one grave via FaG which I knew of already (using

relatives were buried; the others not found by FaG).


I copied the information to the clipboard (and pasted to a text file)

Re: [LegacyUG] AFN Numbers

Michele,

I have AFN numbers in my data from old records. Only use now would be to 
look for duplicate records. Do not need that field.


I do use the ID number field for the numbers assigned to individuals in 
family genealogy books, and prefix the number with the book's author's 
first initial. Example, B1 for Burleigh's first Ingalls, Edmund Ingalls, 
born 1586.

[LegacyUG] Using Legacy for recording atDNA and Gedmatch.com for Ancient Heritage

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

I add people who match my wife's atDNA or mtDNA or my mtDNA or yDNA or 
atDNA test results to Legacy. I add info like "DNA Chr 1 Match to Jay" 
to the "Name Suffix Field".


Then I use the Legacy Search, Find, Detailed Search, and search for

PRIMARY CONDITION

Look for Whom: Individual

Where to Look: Suffix

How to Look: Contains

What to Look For: Jay

SECOND CONDITION

Look for Whom: Individual

Where to Look: Suffix

How to Look: Contains

What to Look For: DNA

THIRD CONDITION

Look for Whom: Individual

Where to Look: Suffix

How to Look: Contains

What to Look For: 1

This finds all the people with the matching info. Lists all with 1, 11, 
12, etc,


Works better for Chromosome 21 and similar numerals . Any suggestions 
on how to eliminate 12, 12, etc. from my results would be appreciated.


Once I get the list, I can print it out using Options, Print. I have the 
print List Print Options set as:


Surnames, Given Names

Sex

Born

Died

Spouse 1

Spouse 2

Relationship


Then I can either print the list or work from the screen list to check 
for segment matches with me at FamilyTreeDNA.com or Gedmatch.com


Then I contact the closest matches, especially if I find common 
ancestors in their ancestry data.


Works better than nothing!

If you are worried about your "ancient heritage", I suggest you add your 
atDNA data to Gedmatch.com for free and use the tools there. It is also 
worth while to add your gedcom file=pedigree chart to Gedmatch.com. 
There are many tools you can use for free to check for your possible 
ancient ancestry. And many tools for looking for cousins. I do recommend 
removing dates and places for living people from your gedcom file.


And remember, paper trail genealogy will often be wrong no matter how 
many records you find or where you find the records. Before penicillin 
and more recent modern drugs, many parents and children died from 
disease and the neighbors or relatives raised the children who lived, 
often with no "adoption" records. There were many other reasons for 
children and grandchildren never knowing who their parents or 
grandparents really were!

This has been discussed before and, as I remember, the answer
is that the autosomal results are too massive to include in

Putting the lengthy raw results into Legacy would swell the

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Is this a proper gedcom file

GEDCOM files are plain text, so you can open them in any word processor or
notepad program, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or Windows
Notepad.

The first few lines will look something like this one, which I created from
Legacy:

0 HEAD
1 SOUR Legacy
2 VERS 9.0
2 NAME Legacy (R)
2 CORP Millennia Corp.
3 ADDR PO Box 9410
4 CONT Surprise, AZ 85374
1 DEST Legacy
1 DATE 20 Jun 2017

You'll be able to see people's names and other text displayed in various
lines, along with other lines that will seem to be gobbledegook but contain
information that relates to the people named.

1 NAME William /Hargreaves/
2 GIVN William
2 SURN Hargreaves
2 SOUR @S3@

So if you can open this .ged file you've been sent in an appropriate program
and see similar lines, you have a GEDCOM file, which you should be able to
IMPORT into Legacy.

It's good practice to import files like this into a new Legacy file before
merging the data with your existing file.  You may want to look at things
like Locations, and tidy them up to the way you record them before taking
the data further.

Hope this helps.  :-)

[LegacyUG] Events Disappeared!

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Looked at my personal data in Legacy 9 today, noticed there were no 
events for me! Looked for my oldest backup data. Found at least some of 
the missing events in a gedcom file backup from 1/14/2004.


Did the split screen import to add them into my current data. This is 
scary! No idea how much data has been lost from my records!


Would appreciate other Legacy users checking your current file to see if 
you are missing events for person number one (RIN number one) in your 
file. And other people. Also watch for other missing data.


I hope to check newer backups to see about when the data disappeared. 
Can not do today.

On the Windows 10 laptop, open Legacy with your data file that is on the laptop

That will probably do it.
If not, make sure the flash drive isn't connected to the Win 10 laptop and run

Provided the media hasn't been buried many many layers down so the path and

There is a problem if the laptop has recently updated to Fall Creators Update

Re: [LegacyUG] Sending a Family Descendant Chart With a "Disclaimer" Endnote

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

If you send an ancestor "book" or other "book", you can add a note to 
the title [cover page] and add a universal source note for everyone in 
the file. I add "User Must Verify All Info" to the title page.


If you tag and export every one you want in the pdf report to a new 
Legacy data base, you can add a universal source in the new file without 
changing your main or "real" data base.

[LegacyUG] How to combine two family trees for caront...@prodigy.net

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

caront...@prodigy.net,

What does your son-in-law want? All of his ancestors or all his children's ancestors? Do have only one 
database. You can use the View, Split Screen, and have have the two files open side by side, then drag the 
son-in-law's data into your data. Works best for me if I have the same person open in both files in side by 
side pedigree views, drag "new" to "old", select everyone in file. Then merge. Repeat of 
another person's advice, do not edit notes. I believe you can append OK, but best to copy notes for both 
people to Notepad, then have the notes available after the merge is completed so you can paste them in if 
they have disappeared or are "damaged".

Then tag the ancestors of the person you want to send to your son-in-law and 
export the Legacy file for him if he is using Legacy.

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

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Check for duplicates frequently. Set birth age range wide. If you have 
duplicate entries over hours and years of work, you should find them. 
Then you can merge the records and connect them as required with the 
merged info.


Currently, if you have notes to merge from two different records, you 
must copy the notes for each person to notepad or some other program, do 
your editing, finish the merge, then modify the notes using the saved 
Notepad file. If you try to append notes from one record to another 
during the merge, they will be lost.

Leon,

Thank you. Looks like I have it working. Decided to backup both the data 
and media files to OneDrive. Have the OneDrive folder at d:\OneDrive

This HELP completely talks about backups and the Legacy Cloud backup 
in 5 steps.


*OneDrive Backup*
1. In Legacy, go to File >Backup File
2. Select Backup to My Computer (Family File & Media Files)
3. Click CHANGE to far right of Family File
4. A windows file manger will open and you can then locate your 
OneDrive folder (e.g:  \OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ ) and save the Legacy 
Backupup files in that folder.  If you also have the Media Files 
selected for backup, Legacy asks if you want to change the Media 
backup location to the same as Family File and the answer would be 
YES.  Note:  I would suggest you create the \OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ 
folder before starting steps 1-4 above - see step 3 below.


*Questions about OneDrive:*
1.  Do I have OneDrive on my system?
     A.  Yes, If you have Windows 8.1 or 10, it was automatically 
installed

     B.  Yes, if you have Office 360 installed
2. How can I see if OneDrive is installed?
     A.  You can use the Windows File manager (the yellow folder icon 
at bottom in task bar) - Click on it, you should see in the left side 
window a folder called OneDrive and maybe a few subfolders if you have 
created any.


3.  How do I create a new subfolder under OneDrive called:  
\OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ ?
     A. You can use the Windows File manager (the yellow folder icon 
at bottom in task bar) - Click on it, you should see in the left side 
window a folder called OneDrive

     B. Right Click on OneDrive >New >Folder
     C. Type the new folder name as:  Legacy Backup
     D. Hit return.  You should see the new folder under OneDrive in 
your screen on left side.


4.  What if I don't have a OneDrive Subfolder or OneDrive is not 
installed?
     A.  You will need to download OneDrive from Microsoft and create 
an account.

     B.  Here is the link to do that:

Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Legacy's backup procedure saves two separate "zip"=compressed files, 
data and media. When doing a "restore", both files are needed.



The zipped data file can be saved to the Legacy cloud and to the same 
hard drive as the program is on, or to an external drive.



The zipped media file can NOT be saved to the Legacy cloud. It can be 
saved to the same hard drive as the program is on, or to an external drive.



I want to be able to save the backup zip file of Legacy Media files at 
OneDrive. To use if my computer dies, etc. Then would install Legacy to 
the new computer, copy the media zip file from OneDrive to the new 
computer, unzip it, and add the media files to the Legacy media folder. 
I can get the "data" files from the Legacy cloud backup.



I already save a copy of photo files to Google Drive for free. Not the 
highest resolution, but should be OK if needed. I also backup the Legacy 
zip files of data and media to two external hard drives. But, if all the 
files in our house are lost in a fire or tornado, the data base could be 
re-created from the cloud files.



Gedcom files can also be made to save our data, but will not save media. 
Any Legacy update could destroy our existing Legacy data...



I only use my Legacy data on my home computer. Do not want to access it 
any other way!



Hope this is correct and makes sense to everyone.


I just need help with the OneDrive install and setup as previously 
indicated. My old brain can not seem to follow the instructions I have 
found so far!

Re: [LegacyUG] Locked software

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Jill,

Do a system virus check and clean first to see if that helps.

Have you done all the updates to version 8?

You can uninstall Legacy 8 and re-install it if version 8 is available 
on the web site. You will not lose data. But, do a full backup of data 
media to an external hard drive or thumb drive first!


Legacy 9 still has problems, so I do not recommend changing to version 9 
until you need it for some reason.

When you say none of the options in the Help button work, only

[LegacyUG] Problems with Manual Merge and file maintenance in Legacy 9

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Alan,

Had a similar problem again tonight. Using the split screen view, did a 
drag and drop of the data in a Legacy file into my "master" file. Had 
about 15 children that were flagged as a problem. Check/Repair reported 
it fixed the problem.


Also having a problem with file maintenance. Can not do the file, 
compact family file without extensive experimenting. Keeps saying that 
it can not run because another copy of the file is open or something 
like that. Nothing shows when I check for a Legacy file still running 
after closing Legacy. Using Ctrl-alt-Del, no Legacy applications or 
process file open, but still get the same message when I try opening 
Legacy and try the file, compact family file again. Doing other 
operations like combining duplicate locations and other things finally 
allows file, compact family file to work. Happened numerous times today 
and previous days.

The problem happens when I drag an individual (who has a wife and

individual in the destination file (who does not yet have any wife and 
children records linked). The wife and children are being successfully 
transferred to the destination file but the children are not being 
displayed under the parents in Family View because, it seems, the 
merge process has failed to create a child link in the parents’ 
marriage record for each child. This becomes apparent when 
Check/Repair is run after completing the Merge routine, when a the 
following message is displayed:


Check/Repair of Legacy Family File: 
C:\Users\Acer\Documents\Family\LegacyData\Family.fdb


Date: 08-25-2017

Please check this file very carefully.

It's a good idea to run another Check/Repair after you verify the 
items in this file.

Note (1): (IMPORTANT) this only seems to be a problem when the 
parent’s marriage record is blank in the Source file.


Note (2): This problem occurs for all families included in the merge 
criteria where the marriage record is blank.


Note (2): this problem never occurred for me in earlier versions of 
Legacy.


I am also reporting this problem to support.

Thanks for your time

[LegacyUG] Recording DNA Test Data In Lagacy

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Jane,

Still using version 8. I add to name suffix box, "DNA Chr 1 match to 
Jay", etc. Can search for and create list of people with "DNA data, Chr 
1, Match to Jay" matches in my data. Works, but would like to be able to 
include a lot more of the DNA match data.


Also is visible in reports and books sent to cousins and other researchers.

Anyone have a really good way of doing this in Version 9?

Must be able to easily search all the DNA data in Legacy!

I can not handle using extensive DNA spreadsheet data and updating. 
Expect Legacy to do that for me.

bit, or perhaps, never knew enough.


I wish to indicate DNA confirmation for those ancestors that I have 
documentation (DNA testing) for.  I went to the DNA symbol using the 
icon on the event screen.  Problem 1:  It did not list the Ancestry 
autosomal test as an option for name of test.  and problem 2:  I typed 
info into the notes space (the "Recorded Test" box would not allow 
input) but when I closed the DNA screen the info I had input into the 
Notes space had disappeared.


I am looking for a simple way to indicate which ancestors I have DNA

Your notes go in the normal place.

In each Report you need to click Report Options button then on the

Either work with the Event Sentences.

[FirstHeShe] alternates the first name with he/she for events.

OR use the Sentence Override for Elizabeth and just add

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy won't open at all...Fatal

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

I need to use Control-Alt-Delete frequently with Legacy 8 and 
"FamilySearch". Close the application. Sometimes I need to go to the 
"processes" and close the Legacy.exe process, also.


Try using the "Revo" program to delete Legacy after you have done a new

If it turns out that you DO have to change "est" to something else, it

could use the Search & Replace function to change all the instances of

Re: [LegacyUG] Resize of Legacy Application

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Still using Windows 7 pro and Legacy 8. Normally everything works great. 
Have had Legacy "act up" after waking up my computer, etc. Closing 
Legacy and re-starting it usually solves any problems. If not, 
re-starting the computer does. I have made some firmware updates in the 
past on my now old  ASUS Notebook. Have Windows set to update 
automatically. Does it at shutdown and then completes it at the next 
startup. Once in a while that causes the loss of most of my "home" icons 
and shortcuts. Re-start usually fixes that. If not, start with F-8 and 
use the repair option. From my memory, hope this is understandable.

Have you considered the problem might be with programming in the

first thing I did was check the drivers of both the graphics card and 
internal graphics section of the computer. I next check the BIOs 
level. After checking that, I only then moved on to the application. 
And that was because the problem had occurred in only a single window 
(main) in Legacy.


The only problem I ever had with 'Windows 10' since the release of 
that OS was traced to the firmware of the HP computer. It took a 
while, but checking HP support online I finally found the problem 
listed (deep into support) stating that 'some' models of the desktop I 
had would not 'wake up' from sleep mode. HP had a fix that 'might' 
correct the problem by flashing the firmware. I still run Windows 8.1 
on that computer (no problems with that OS for which the computer was 
designed).

   Hi Larry



   There can be problems with images not showing on web
   pages if
   upper case is used in the file names for the images.
   As a
   general rule it is recommended to use only lower
   case file names
   to be loaded onto websites. However this is not
   necessarily a
   problem - in your case the files not showing up on
   your PC
   implies that (unless you are using Unix) it may not
   be the
   cause. Probably worth checking though. Also
   as a general
   rule it is recommended
   to avoid using spaces and special characters in file
   names.



   Have you refreshed your view of the web page to see
   that your
   are using the latest files (not the cache)?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8

Unless you have a slow dial-up connection, it is best to always install
and update from the web site.

You can uninstall and then re-install from the web site without losing
your data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Narrative book report. Chronology report

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

I had a problem with one version of Legacy where duplicate sources were
created by the program by adding hidden format data to existing source
info that was visible on the preview screen. Could see it in the
preview, but if I opened the source notes, they were not visible. Once I
opened the source notes and closed the source in a later version of
Legacy, the hidden format data was removed, and then I had two identical
sources which could be merged. Strange things can happen when
programmers make mistakes!

 the program thinks there's a note, and if you don't think
 so, you'll need to do as Jay suggests to remove what isn't

Sherry,

I try the Legacy Help search first, often nothing useful with the words

completely trust anything I find on the web.

Suggestions take time... And often are never implemented.

 We're more than happy to take suggestions for indexing words - just

Re: [LegacyUG] How to Note my Birth Status

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

If he acted as your father and raised you, I would be very tempted to
list you as adopted but then add a note that although he raised you, he
never did the paper work to make it a legal adoption. A lot of people
were raised that way before there was a legal adoption process. And a
lot of people are assuming they are tracing their ancestors and they are
not for that reason.

Also, add the data you collected for his ancestry to FamilySearch.org
and Ancestry.com and Rootsweb. No sense wasting all that effort, and it
will help someone else in the future.

Have you done the FamilyFinder test at FamilyTreeDNA.com? You might be
surprised.

[LegacyUG] How can I show which individuals I think are correct

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

My legal birth certificate given name is J.M., Two capital letters, Two
periods, no spaces. For years, most software prevented entering that.
Worst was my application to the University of Michigan, instructions
said to use (only) after each initial on the application form for a name
with initials only, so I was listed as Jonly Monly. Also started most
grade and high school classes with an arguement with my teachers! What
is your real name?  Not the best way to start a new relationship. Many
more stories!

I usually use the Birth Certificate name as the primary name for most
people in my data, then enter the alternate names, which allows me to
find them in my data with those names also.

 I think you should find that most of the legal information should be based on 
 the legal name. Any  other name usage would be a Nick name.

 We have a grandson that his legal name is JJ Allen Surname, he is always 
 being asked what is his real name and people get upset when he tells them 
 the truth.

 My grandson has quite a few given names - one is only a letter.
 His father called him 'Buddy' when he was small. Just a pet name - not 
 related to his given names - but it stuck.
 I first and still call him by a diminutive of the name he's known by. I 
 didn't and don't like that name. No secret to the family!
 But I have added info on these all to my programme info. For the one, I am 
 the source. I should go back and check old Facebook posts to add to that. Of 
 course, these references tell you something about his dad and about me too. 
 And someday, someone may wonder why these names appear for him so 
 consistently.

 Alan, does Check / Repair process your files okay on other computers?
 Does C/R just hang, or do you get an error, or do you mean it takes longer 
 than expected?

 Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 any build - Windows 7 -- Check/Repair on
 large database

 Could any of you who have a very large database, like over 100,000 records, 
 tell me if check/repair works well for you.  I've seen it (on a file of 
 169,000 records) finish in three minutes on one system, but on my system, 
 and a number of others I've tried, it either fails with an error, or hangs 
 for five to fifteen minutes on various steps along the way, often hanging 
 right away in the middle of rebuilding indexes.

 I have Windows 7 installed, and I've tried changing many settings and 
 Services, and eliminating programs that might be interfering, but to no 
 avail.  Anyway, it hangs or fails the same way on many of the new computers 
 at our local Family History Library.  Any PC that has Windows XP will run 
 Check/Repair without any problem, no matter how big the file is.  I should 
 say that I've not seen any such problem on smaller files ( I suppose under 
 10,000 records)..  I have many small files which are the ones I usually 
 work on, and have no difficulties with them.

 Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. :-)

[LegacyUG] E-Mail, Reply to All, Include the individual's E-Mail address.

Sherry,

If you could get your mail software changed so people can select Reply
All and have the To include the individual's e- mail address it might
help reduce off topic discussions. I use the Thunderbird program and
must use the Forward option then copy and paste the individual's
address into the To field to reply to people off list.

People would still need to delete the list address from the To field.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Syncing people in two family files

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Dan,

Repeating previous user comments. Put everything you want to save in one
file. Two files lead to a lot more work and confusion. I know, I tried it.

Legacy has many options for selecting just the ancestors or descendants
of a specific person. One of the most useful options is creating a
book of all the DEAD descendants of an ancestor, which can be shared
without a risk of identity theft it gets in the hands of the wrong person.

Do be sure you use the [[   ]] to make info private in notes, sources,
and events that should not be shared with the world.

And backup to an external hard drive and/or the cloud every time you
close the program or make changes or additions-at least daily.

You can put e-mail and other correspondence in the general notes or
sources or other locations so that years later you will still have the
info available, even if you lose your e-mail files.

[LegacyUG] How to find persons who lived past 100?

Tools, Statistics, Longest Living Individuals, Edit Individual.

Not what you want, but it shows me some problems.

I just sent the following to Legacy Enhancements,
legacyenhanceme...@gmail.com
.
Tools, Statistics, Longest Living, Edit Individual

See the attachment.

Then should be able to Select, go to Pedigree Chart, then FS or
Ancestry, etc., to research, edit. Then go back and run the Statistics
report again and repeat until obvious errors are fixed. I have one where
the person lived over 1000 years! Other errors obvious. Worthwhile report.

Can you add the option to find everyone who lived over 100 years, etc.?
Then tag their record?

 In the alternative, suggestions for redoing them all while retaining

Re: [LegacyUG] Disproved ancestors

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Ron,

Have not done an actual count, but have about 100 with notes in the
given name field, out of about 65,000 people. And very few will be the
ancestors of my descendants. I collect data on all Ingalls of all
spellings in the USA and Canada, warn people when I send them data that
they need to verify everything. I will not live long enough to do the
work for everyone.

The suggestion to put the notes in the given name field in the double
brackets so they will not be published is good and bad. It may look
better, but does not warn the reader that I suspect there is a problem
with the data. I believe function or usability is much more
important than beauty.

Re: [33A-1B07A2C3-040E] Re: [LegacyUG] Notes - Added warning message if notes are edited and then Cancel or X is clicked.

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Michele,

I just discovered the new update to Legacy, did that, and then tested
the problem again. On my data base and the sample data base.

Note that I almost always work from the pedigree view, then click on the
person to open, and then on Notes to add or edit them.

Typing in Test and clicking the x or Cancel does not give a
warning message and does not save the new data.

I did get a strange, not the usual warning, with one unintentional test
in the previous version. Apparently the problem is not fixed. I think
that I got numerous messages from Brian saying it was fixed about 10
days ago, but I am quite sure I have deleted his messages. Please pass
this on to Brian.

[LegacyUG] Mail not sending, timing out, for Howland Davis

I use Thunderbird for e-mail, and McAfee for virus protection. For some
time, I have had to turn off the McAfee real time scanning in order to
get my mail from Earthlink in a reasonable time. Also have problems with
my router losing its connection to the internet, requiring turning the
power off and back on to fix that.

[LegacyUG] hacker/spammer problems

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

In some cases, the address appears to be taken over by the
hacker/spammer, and any e-mail is intercepted and answered by the
hacker/spammer. When that happens, the owner of the e-mail address
must be contacted by phone or other method and asked to contact their
ISP and change their password.

[LegacyUG] File Importing and Merging Problems and Needed Fixes and Options

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Hoping that the Legacy programmers fix the file importing and merging
problems. I lost a lot of info on an import from another copy of my
Legacy data a while ago. Appeared to lose Ancestry numbers, etc.
Following your recommendations might have helped, but it should not be
necessary. I detest the large numbers used by FS, and have tried to
eliminate them when doing merges!

On a related topic, I still say, as I said years ago, the Source data
should be one of the clickable tabs when doing merges! We should be able
to see the sources and select the ones we want to save or combine when
merging

Yea! I'm glad to see that at least one other person has discovered that
if you are doing a lot of work on your database, the practice that Jay
[not Jay Ingalls] describes will help make your life a happier one than
you might otherwise have been able to enjoy. My largest file is 167,000
records, and the most difficult of operations was to merge a small
section back into it after it had been expanded, optimized, and sync'd
with FS FT.

I supposed that an AutoMerge using IntelliShare ID numbers would be all
that was needed. Not so. There are new issues now, having to do with
FSID's being lost in the process, for one thing.

I learned from others on this list to have the small file come in with
very large RIN numbers. I switch them right away to the left side of the
merge window, and proceed one by one. A confusion factor would appear if
I had allowed abandoned RINs to be reused (Customize 4.4) -- it seemed
to cause serious problems in the merge process, but this was only a
suspicion of mine, and not proved by testing, etc.

Before doing such a merge, I learned to first renumber RINs and MRINs,
and a few other preparatory steps I worked out, like backing up first
(duh...), and to run the first three file maintenance options on both
files, and to make no other changes before starting the merge. My merge
operations are coming out clean now, and without difficulty or problems
of any kind. I too am thankful for Legacy's overall strength at
managing the data.

Afterthought -- Okay, here are the steps I worked out:

*Before Merge -- of the Master File and the small file to be merged

* Backup both files Search and Replace -- Location Names  Short Loc.
Names (, United States), both files Combine duplicate location names
Renumber RINs  MRINs on both files File Maintenance - First three
options on both files Refresh and print tree list for Master File

*Merge Operation* All records - pertains to the imported file

*Renumber RINs from 21

* - pertains to the imported file.

(*Do not renumber from 1*, as this is already being used by the Master File

*Do not* Fill all existing abandoned RINs/MRINs

AutoBackup option not necessary -- done in a previous step

At beginning, when location differences are shown: Keep / transfer GPS
data onto left side Keep / transfer best location names onto left side

*At first merge window, swap to have large RINs on left side –
necessary to keep FSIDs

* **(_*None of the imported sync data from FS FT is kept unless it is on
the left side*_)

RINs of imported [FS] file are large, this makes merge data easier to see

Watch out – the program will call out possible merge of children with
same name where one died young, but another was born later with the same
name

Watch out – names of spouses might be slightly different – might
need to make them the same

Do not use AutoMerge - IntelliiShare options

*After Merge -- Master file

* Backup – before any corrections etc.

File Maintenance, First three options

Renumber RINs  MRINs

Set relationships

Refresh and print trees list, and compare with the one made before the
merge

Do global sort of child and marriage lists

New backup *After Merge – Small File

* Rename the small file to move it to the Archive folder.

NOTE: Now is a good time to export a small file if one is ready, because
the MF is clean.

Re: [LegacyUG] duplicate marriages

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Kathy,

Did you happen to stop the merge process, then start it again? That can
cause some problems.

Also, there could be a glitch in the Legacy software, so you need to
report it to Support. I had some sources duplicated by Legacy inserting
normally hidden formatting code into text in notes and other places. It
appeared to happen with only one revision of Legacy 7.5. A soon as the
source notes are opened, the rogue formatting code disappears, so it is
only visible in the preview. It was a lot of work to open all the
duplicate sources, which removed the visible formatting code, and then
use the new option to merge duplicate sources.

 If one is to look at Page 234 of the book and then step 4 at the

 Since there was something different in these marriages information a
 duplicated was made.

 Aren’t these lovey new tools just GREAT.

 *Subject:* [LegacyUG] duplicate marriages

 I posted this before and didn't get any responses, so I'll try again :-)

 Somehow during a merge (Intellimerge) I ended up with every single
 marriage related to the merged file duplicated.  Male #1 is married to
 Female #2 twice; the 2nd marriage is separate and does not link to the
 children of the 1st marriage, which I am grateful for.  So as I've
 tried to figure this out on my own, I have found the quickest way to
 remove these marriages is to go to the marriage list and go down the
 list one by one, visually noting the duplicates, highlighting the
 bogus marriage (it has a much higher RIN) and then making the 3 or 4
 clicks to unlink each marriage.  This has been very time consuming but
 at least it's better than trying to browse through the file or having
 to be in family view to remove each link.

 I would like to be able to see a list of these duplicate marriages
 that may still exist so I can see where I am on it and what needs to
 be done and ones I've overlooked.

 Is there a way to create such a list?  I browsed through the search
 criteria for marriages but it didn't seem to fit.  I haven't done a
 lot of searches though and definitely nothing this specific.

 Thanks to anyone who can help!  If it can't be done, I hope a legacy
 moderator will at least just tell me that I simply have to continue
 going one by one through the marriage list. At least then I'd know :-)

 Sorry but I will need some step by step instructions.

 I did try to follow your description of what you were doing but with
 some errors in your terminology I was not able to confirm this as a
 problem. I used the sample file that comes with Legacy so you can follow
 along with my steps

 Use Sample File
 Select Asa Clark Brown
 Open him for edit which opens the individual edit form (page as you call it)
 select his birth in Woodstock
 Use the down arrow to open the Master Location List (not the Geo database)
 The GEO db opens with Woodstock selected since this location is in the
 Geo Database
 *** There is no way to combine locations in the Geo Db though so this is
 where I lost you ***
 I selected Woodstock from the Geo Db to return to the Master Location
 List (this is where you can combine locations)
 I clicked the Combine button
 I then selected Tionesta, PA and clicked the Combine With
 (This combined Woodstock into Tionesta so Woodstock no longer existed in
 the Master Location List)
 To follow your step of combining other locations I then selected West
 St. Paul MN
 Clicked Combine a second time
 Selected Winnebago Prairie MN
 Clicked Combine With to remove West St. Paul
 Winnebago Prairie is highlighted
 I then clicked close (If you click Select at this point you are
 selecting the currently highlighted location so that will be the
 location returned to the Individual Information form)
 The Birth Location for Asa is now Tionesta PA (the location into which
 Woodstock was combined) and not the location highlighted on the Master
 Location List (Winnebago Prairie).

Re: [LegacyUG] where to store images

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Kathy,

With Legacy8, it is easier to copy your images to the Legacy folder
for Media, and then when you backup your Legacy data you will also
backup the images linked to records in Legacy. I would not put images in
the Legacy folder that are not linked to a record in Legacy.

If you send a backup (.zip files) copy of your data to a friend or
relative, send the zipped Legacy and Legacy Media files, and they can
restore the data and have an exact copy of your data and media. You will
not need to send copies of images separately.

Everyone, have you watched where Legacy is copying images from when
doing a Legacy backup?

 images file (whatever it's called-that may not be exactly the name of

 the option so I can do it either way, but since I have a lot of images
 to get attached, I want to make sure I don't create future problems.

 What I prefer to do is to keep my images where they are, in my
 dropbox, where they are sorted so that I can locate what I want from
 any computer anywhere.

 Is there anything wrong with that?  Is there a benefit to 'copying'
 the image to the Legacy folder as well?  Should I copy all of my
 images to the Legacy folder?

 I would love some input so I can get everything cleaned up properly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Pedigree Report Problem

Bobby,

Always try a reset if it is an option, then make your changes. See if
that helps.

 Jenny,
 I am sorry that I confused you.  I do understand what the load and save 
 buttons in the lower right corner are for.  I was attempting to save the 
 report settings so that I could recall them when needed.  It didn't work.  
 The Other save that I mentioned is in the upper right corner of the window 
 that opens when I click Color text and boxes.  I want to use the 4 line 
 colors.

 I must go through the steps outlined in my original post each time I want to 
 run the report instead of simply loading the saved report options.  I believe 
 the settings should stick and I believe the saved report options should set 
 the options I want.  Neither is happening.

 Thanks for your interest and help.

 Using: Legacy 8-414  Windows 8

 I am having a problem with the pedigree report Report Options and
 Color text and boxes sticking.  Every time I return to this report I
 have to setup my options.  I even set them up and saved the report.
 When I load the report the settings are not correct.
 Here are the settings I am trying to use:

 Pedigree Report
 Report Options...
 Format Tab - uncheck Put boxes around Individuals
 Pictures Tab - Check Pictures of Individuals
 click Close

 Color text and boxes
 click Set four line colors and then save

 When I preview the report it is as I would like to see it.  Now I save
 the report by clicking Save in the lower right corner of the window
 and give it a file name.

 I have to repeat the above steps each time I use this report even if I
 load the saved report.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
 Your post is a bit confusing because you talk of Saving and Loading the 
 Report,
 but you refer to 'Save; in the lower right corner of the window.

 The Save and Load buttons in the lower right corner are for saving and 
 loading
 a set of Options, not for saving the Report itself.  If you create the 
 Report as
 you want it, then save the resulting PDF file that will re-appear just as you
 saved it every time you open it, just like any document file will.  If you 
 want to
 create a similar report starting with a different individual you can Load 
 your
 saved Settings file and your chosen settings, as for the earlier Report, 
 will be
 applied to the new Report.

Not quite true. After adding known data, FamilySearch and other options

[LegacyUG] Finding place data such as Dissen within Legacy

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Now that I understand the question?, I use the Legacy Search, Find,
Individual, Birth Place, Contains, Dissen search frequently, because I
have a lot of data with locations entered inconsistently.

This can be done for death, burial, marriage, notes and events, etc., also.

All will be included in the final list if the Add results to existing
List option is chosen.

Then all in the list can be tagged, using Options, Advanced Tagging,
Everyone in the Search List.

I have none for Dissen, but at least 188 for Germany in my file.

 In that case, I would go to the Locations Master List (View  Master Lists  
 Location...) and sort right-to-left (Sort  Direction of Sort  Right to 
 Left) so that all locations within one country were listed together, then all 
 within one county/state/whatever-it-is-for-each-country, and so on down the 
 line.

 Now, all locations including Dissen in Germany should be grouped together, 
 whether that is a village, town or county/state/whatever - this works 
 regardless of what level your particular place is.

 Make sure the Show People option is ticked in the Master Location List 
 window.

 Scroll, search or otherwise move down the list of locations to get to where 
 Dissen makes an appearance. Select a location that is in Dissen and you 
 should see a list of who is using that location. If there is more than one 
 location in the list using Dissen, select each in turn and look at the list 
 of people using that location.

 If you have your ancestral line bolded, your ancesters will be shown in bold 
 in the list so you can spot them easily amongst all the other people in your 
 database.

 Hope this helps. :-)

[LegacyUG] Switzerland research-Heimat

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Don,

I may not understand what and where you want to see a heimat, but I
would put it in events even if it is not an event. If it was put in
the birthplace field in the past, it could be added as an alternate
birthplace, such as Ellsworth-Heimat, Antrim, Michigan, USA. Hope you
find a simple and useful solution for you and your relatives.

 records are kept even though they may not have lived there for
 generations.  Swiss genealogies are a mess  because no distinction has
 been made between the two.  The standards of the past has been to record

 provide a view of these two pieces of information in the person or

Re: [LegacyUG] Reinstall legacy

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Rich,

How and with what did you backup your hard drive? I only know that a lot
of backups are not complete enough to just copy to another hard drive
and have the system operate as it did.

Good chance you will need to install all your software, Windows, Legacy,
etc., from scratch, and update all of them, then restore your Legacy
data by using the Legacy program, or copying the Legacy data files into
the new installation.

Be sure you have anti-virus software running as soon as possible!

 If I replace my hard drive do I just copy and paste all my files back

 When I re load legacy from my external hard drive will it still be

 Next time something like that happens, try pressing Ctrl-Z as your first

Re: [LegacyUG] Duplicate ID Numbers Software Problem?

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Brian,

Thanks for working on my problem. Is there any file in Legacy that saves
anything about ID Numbers like the usr files?

Or any chance the search for ID Numbers is also checking the MRIN or RIN
numbers or something else? Or is the search stopping at the dash or
something and/or calling all with some particular character a duplicate?

I have scrolled through thousands of ID numbers and not found many
duplicate ID numbers except for the Burleigh numbers being the same for
everyone in Generation #  10, etc. That is only  small portion of the
reported duplicates.

I did find some Ancestry numbers in the ID Number field and moved themG.

 Go to; My Toolbar, Merge, Find Duplicates, Special Duplicates Search,

 I ran the search for duplicate ID numbers and found 57, 416 duplicate ID
 numbers per the Legacy version 8 software. I have ran it in the past
 with previous versions of Legacy and did not find many. When I go to the
 Name List, I only have 66,194 people in my database!

 I do have duplicate ID numbers starting with B, because I imported
 data long ago for Ingalls listed in Burleigh's 1903 book on the Ingalls.
 The researcher who added the data to her genealogy program added ID
 numbers starting with B for Burleigh to indicate the number came from
 his book. The book was published in 1903, so many of the individuals she
 added to her data are descendants of some one in his book. She handled
 that by using the number for the last ancestor listed in Burleigh plus a
 dash number indicating the number of generations an individual is
 removed from B1. So, there can be many descendants with the same ID
 number such as B1222-10.

 I did a search for ID numbers starting with B and found 3,948 People
 with ID Numbers starting with B. Not all of them are duplicates!

 I did a fairly extensive audit of all my ID numbers and found very few
 identical ID Numbers, except for the Burleigh numbers. Looks to me like
 there is a software problem.

[LegacyUG] Duplicate ID Numbers Software Problem?

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Thanks to the people who checked for duplicate ID numbers and did not
find a software problem.

I did go to the Sample data base.

Checked for duplicate ID numbers and none found.

Went to the customize option and used the option to clear all ID
numbers, none found.

Used the option to use the prefix JMI and the RIN number to set ID
numbers for all.

220 set.

Used the clear all, says cleared 160!

Set the ID numbers again, the same way, says 160 set.

Cleared again, 160 cleared.

Name list says contains 160 individuals

Ran the merge duplicate ID numbers again, none found.

The 220 set, 160 cleared, 160 set, 160 cleared indicates there is a
software problem.

Would appreciate it if some of you would try this on the Sample data
base. I am beginning to suspect that I may have a bad Legacy usr file
or something.

I Tried this on an old Legacy 7.5 file and had similar results as for
the Legacy 8 Sample file.

62,168 Individuals in file
50,837 duplicate ID numbers
61,503 cleared (all)
84,620 set (all)
62,168 cleared

[LegacyUG] Formatting Ancestry.com Census Data for Legacy Events

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Thanks to all for your suggestions and questions on using census data in
Legacy. I had not experimented with Firefox or Chrome to see how they
handle the copy and paste into Legacy, and the comments on that may be
very helpful.

One comment that I need to make is that I normally put my census data in
events, not in notes or sources. Our original source entries in the
first genealogy programs available went in the Notes section, the only
place available for them. Many are still there.

When the ability to put sources in the Source section became available
in newer programs, I put most of the new entries there. I use the option
to print sources at the end of books,  which means people must look
there to find sources. I find that awkward.

Once Legacy added the option to put in events that print with the
individuals data, and then added the ability to copy the event to the
clipboard, I started putting census and other events there.

Bill Boswell asked:  Do you create the top part for each household
member or just the head of household?

I edit the census data for the first person I work on in the family, and
then copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the next family or
household members event. For each person, I usually edit the data
applicable to them, which is at least the first line, so it is readable
while looking at the list of events for that person. This way, I can
tell their age in each census, where they lived, and the state where
they were born without opening any event.

Sometimes the list of events shows the women losing years as they age,
sometimes it indicates the person giving the info did not really know
when or where their fellow household member was born, and even what
their name was G.

Normally the portion of the census data for each person, beginning with
the list of people in the household and the source info, will not change
after creating the record for the first person I work on in the household.

Some Ancestry census records copy and paste differently with IE
depending on the census year and even where I start and stop the
highlighting before pressing Control-C. Whenever it gets too messy,
I paste into Notepad, and then copy and paste that into the Legacy Event.

A few times, on some web pages, I have copied a web page and pasted it
into my trial version of Word or Open Office, saved it as a plain text
(.txt) file, and then opened the plain text file and copied and pasted
that into Legacy. That can save the basic format and avoid a lot of
editing time with some web pages.

If anyone wants to see a jpg copy of how my lists of events look, write
to me at jay_inga...@pipeline.com and I can send you a screen save jpg
of what I see when looking at the Individuals Information screen in
Legacy.

[LegacyUG] Duplicate ID Numbers Software Problem?

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

If you use the ID Number field in Legacy, have you tried a search for
duplicate ID numbers?

Go to; My Toolbar, Merge, Find Duplicates, Special Duplicates Search,
Find duplicates using only User ID number, Continue.

I ran the search for duplicate ID numbers and found 57, 416 duplicate ID
numbers per the Legacy version 8 software. I have ran it in the past
with previous versions of Legacy and did not find many. When I go to the
Name List, I only have 66,194 people in my database!

I do have duplicate ID numbers starting with B, because I imported
data long ago for Ingalls listed in Burleigh's 1903 book on the Ingalls.
The researcher who added the data to her genealogy program added ID
numbers starting with B for Burleigh to indicate the number came from
his book. The book was published in 1903, so many of the individuals she
added to her data are descendants of some one in his book. She handled
that by using the number for the last ancestor listed in Burleigh plus a
dash number indicating the number of generations an individual is
removed from B1. So, there can be many descendants with the same ID
number such as B1222-10.

I did a search for ID numbers starting with B and found 3,948 People
with ID Numbers starting with B. Not all of them are duplicates!

I did a fairly extensive audit of all my ID numbers and found very few
identical ID Numbers, except for the Burleigh numbers. Looks to me like
there is a software problem.

[LegacyUG] Legacy Update Notice and Legacy Home tab.

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Sherry,

I never can think of the proper terminology for Buttons and Tabs,
etc. I was referring to what you call the Legacy Home tab. Have almost
no use for what you call the Preferred Startup Family.

I almost never see Legacy Home tab where it is now. Most programs
appear to have a link to their web site in their Help menu. Any
additional location would help. Or the pop-up notice that an update is
available when starting the program that then fades away as previously
mentioned would be a great addition.

Note that I have not received a message from Legacy that a new version
is available.

Jay

 There is no Legacy Home button. There's a Legacy Home tab but no button.

 In earlier versions, there was a Home button on the far left of the
 toolbar which took you to the Preferred Startup Family. A lot of
 people were confused with the Legacy Home tab and the Home button when
 we'd give instructions so Ken changed that button to the Startup
 Family on the My Toolbar in v8.

 It wouldn't go on the File ribbon since it has nothing to do with
 Files but has to do with going to the Preferred Startup Family set in
 Options  Customize 1.3 (You can also set the Startup Family by
 clicking on the icon on the Options ribbon)

[LegacyUG] Fixed Fonts, Destroyed Columns?

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Mike,

Thanks for: Consolas is a nice, clean, mono-spaced font.

I think Courier is also a fixed font. It would be nice if Legacy
identified all the fixed fonts. And I would prefer Legacy using only
fixed fontsG.

When I copy and paste census info from Ancestry.com, Legacy includes a
lot of hidden format info. That makes a mess after the data is pasted in
and saved and then re-opened. It would be nice if Legacy worked like
Notepad and removed all or most of the formatting when pasting the info
into Legacy.

 Anything with serifs in the name or visible is a proportional font.

 You probably saw Sherry’s reply regarding the build number – which we

 v7.5 installed – of course that’s a big issue to use the current data
 file after it was converted to run on v8. Thanks for the offer of 397

 I've noticed that the alignment of text within its' control has an effect on

Works best for me to use the split screen view, pedigree view, and find

[LegacyUG] Single Surname Study-Merging

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

If you use the same settings each time for your merges, and mark the
non-matches as such using the icon in the bottom right corner, they will
not come up again as possible matches. Be sure you look at the spouses
and children, dates and places, to help decide if you have a match, also
the notes, events, etc.

Never merge unless quite sure they are the same person!!!

Sometimes I add a note saying who I merged, why, and when, and by whom=me.

I use the option to add conflicting info to events quite often.

 Mary, Ron,
 Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm new to this software and don't fully 
 understand the best way to do things yet.

 In Legacy Deluxe 8.0, I tag unrelated individuals and then create a search 
 for that tag in the Name List.  I'm currently experimenting with adding 
 fields to the 2nd and 3rd lines of List Report Options to get a format I 
 like.  I think this will give me enough information - Names, birth, death, 
 etc. - to be able to screen for new individuals or relationships while away 
 from my computer in a library.

 Since Legacy is a computer (as opposed to server based, I haven't tried 
 DropBox yet) based program, I'd like to have printed material to refer to on 
 trips to libraries to aid in research.

 I will look at the Event reports also.

 Is there a way to print multiple Individual Reports at once, using tags?

 Thanks,

 Ted

 I'm guessing advanced tagging?

 Try as I might, I cannot 'make' the problem happen.  It occurs randomly,
 after several completely normal charts, some with exactly the same
 people.  When I close Legacy and restart, and produce a chart with the
 same people the problem has disappeared (until next time!)
 It seems not to relate to any particular person.  I've changed many of
 the chart settings and cannot make the problem recur. There are no
 particularly exotic programs on this computer, but I will watch out for
 the problem on my netbook which has even fewer programs.  Next time it
 happens I will try a few more things before resorting to shutting the
 program down.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

One thing I did not see mentioned is that in the Name list of people
in your data, you can select the option to use the husband's surname as
a second entry for the wife. Then you can find the wife with her
married name. I keep that option set most of the time. I remember many
people by their given name but not by their surname or married name, so
I use the given name fairly often to find people in my data. Having the
married name for wives is a big help.

I do not see any need to have Jane Doe as an AKA.

 Susan,

 I simply leave the surname blank.  If I have a census record, for
 example, where John Doe and Jane Doe are a married couple, I put John
 Doe, his wife is simply Jane and then I put Jane Doe as an AKA.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Unknown People

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Best to leave all unknown fields blank. For dates, a good guess based on
birth years of parents or children or spouse or marriage date will help
when doing merges.

Unknown wastes ink when printing and looks terrible to me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Edit in family tab

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Also use the option for adding alternate names, add the full given and
nickname. Then you can find him by either name in the name list index.

 Also, if my grand father had an Italian first name, but he went by an 
 American name how would I make note of that?

 Thank you

 I would enter his name as, for an example Antonio Tony.  This clearly shows 
 his given name and the name he was commonly known by.  The name in quotes 
 will be the name used in reports if you select that option.

Re: [LegacyUG] Just getting back to Legacy

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Before you install version 8, make a backup file of your database on
another hard drive or on a CD, just in case something goes wrong!

I did not follow the steps in the install procedure, but have it
workingG. Version 8 installs in a different area if you follow the
standard install steps. Quite easy. Version 7 will still run, but do not
use it!

Just install version 8 then go through the normal operations. The menus
are much different, and I dislike many of those changes, but can adapt.

At your direction, it can search for and find existing Legacy files on
your computer and convert them to version 8, and will also find gedcom
files. Be sure you select your latest files if you have more than one. I
have many databases and that has caused me some problems in the past.

The new options for media re-linking and copying the media files to one
location in the Legacy folder is a good idea, but not working correctly
for me yet.

 I've been away from Legacy for quite some time; I have Legacy 7.5.
 I now want to get the latest version; which is version 8.

 If I install ver 8 on my computer, will it update the ver 7 to ver. 8?

 If not, how do I get my ver 7 data into ver 8.
 Will the ver 7  ver 8 installations interfere with each other?
 Version 8 will install quite separately to 7, so you can keep both if
 you want to.  STRONGLY recommend that you allow Legacy 8 to install to
 its default location.  It will put your data, media etc into a folder
 within My Documents.

 Once you've installed, tell it to open an existing file and navigate to
 your current family file.  Legacy 8 will offer to copy (copy, not move)
 this to the new location and then convert it.  This is also the
 recommended method.

 You cannot open the Legacy 8 family file in Legacy 7, but you will have
 your old version of the program and the file if you want to keep them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Gathering media files in Legacy 8

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Michele,

The Re-link and Gather Media options are not working for me. Re-link
says all ok, Gather says it is not, so it can not be used. Anything I
can do to fix this?

I have done file repair many times.

 If you use the Gather Media tool it will put the documents/images in whatever 
 folder you want (doesn't have to be the Media folder) but it will only gather 
 to one folder.

 I have ALL my media in the Media file but I have folders for the

 Legacy likes that I have everything in the Media folder and I like
 having my documents separated by type.
 But I presume the Gather Media tool would not keep all the separate folders 
 within Media - or am I wrong?

 All my Source documents are in folders (or folders within folders) according 
 to type and everything under one main genealogy folder on my
 C: drive because that is how they were before I ever started with Legacy.  
 Photographs attached to people, events or locations within Legacy are in 
 folders in Legacy's media folder and are smaller-sized JPGs of pictures 
 (usually TIFFs) stored in my genealogy folder.
