 Since it nothing ever happens, people have stopped trying, which is 
 probably what they wanted to have happen anyway.

 We'd all like our pet bugs fixed. I know I have a few.
 
 However, the programmers are not doing nothing.
 Current GR release is no 226. Current beta release is 253. Each release 
 has numbers of fixes to test.
 
 If you have particular problems in mind, you need to contact Support or 
 send them in so they get entered or updated in the bug tracking, not 
 report here where they mostly go nowhere.

Re: [LegacyUG] Address Information

I use the address of the event for the event and the address of the repository 
for where the record is held at the time I recorded the event.

 No, that does not work and gives very odd responses The problem is 
 that I need to look at the Addresses with the small house icon and not at 
 the Place of the event or marriage.

 I don't think I'm quite sure exactly what you want to search for, but will 
 searching for a Marriage with Marriage Place empty AND a secondary 
 condition of Marriage with Marriage Event-Place not empty do what you need?
 Chris Hill 
 Sunday, 22 July 2018 9:47 PM
 Where necessary, usually for baptism, death and marriages, I normally 
 place the location of the church etc. into the corresponding fields in the 
 individual or the marriage, and for marriages I also place them into 
 events for marriage banns and witnesses. This then means that if I enable 
 it in the reports I will get the (address text) in the report, which I can 
 control as required.
  
 My problem is that I have found that I may have missed 

Re: [LegacyUG] I accidentally deleted a very important ancestor and all his data and events

[Jill’s Genealogy]

Hi Cathy, didn’t Marianne mention she saved a previous version of the file, 
with the two wives, with only 2 or 3 additions since then that could be easily 
redone?  Why not just open the back up file?  And then get clear instructions 
for deleting or unlinking the 2nd wife?  Or is that what you said?  It didn’t 
sound like it because you are talking about using restore, etc.  merging and 
duplicates.  

Asking because this sounds like something I would easily do!!!  (I think I did 
early on actually!)

Cathy, I will try that but what’s the point of the override if it doesn’t

[LegacyUG] Bibliography Override

[Jill’s Genealogy]

Hi first Sourcewriter doesn’t have a way to handle Vaccination Certificates 
issues by government offices in Prussia 1867.  

So I opted to use the same format as Birth Certificate.  However the 
Bibliography (overridden) for the Master Source does not stay overridden when I 
go to add the Source Detail.  It goes back to the default Bibliography.

I went to Assigned Sources/Cite a Master Source/Add/  and filled in the blanks 
on the Source Info tab.  I then went to Override tab and deleted the word birth 
and typed vaccination.  I checked the box for Use this Customized Bibliography 
on reports.  And then hit Save.

Back on the Master Source List window, I see the new Source and the 
Bibliography (overridden) at the bottom of the window and it looks fine.  It 
shows Vaccination.

Now if I select the master source that I just created and go to Step 3. Add the 
Source Detail, the Bibliography incorrectly shows birth and not vaccination 
certificate.

The over ridden Bibliography changes back to the default Bibliography.

Any idea why this happens and how to prevent it?

Also how would you handle a vaccination certificate?  

Thanks!

[LegacyUG] Phone for Legacy Support

Hi I can’t tell whether my subscription was renewed.  I wanted to call to find

email?  Man I don’t like paying money without a phone number for account 
questions, if that’s the case.

[LegacyUG] Share Event Not Working

[Jill’s Genealogy]

Hi I wanted to add the mother’s name to a birth event using Share Event.  I’ve 
done this dozens of times before and it has always worked.  Is there a list of 
known errors that Legacy is working on after this latest version was released?  
Thanks.  Also here is what I did:

I selected:
Add one or more people
Select from the Name List
Entered the surname
Found the mother
Clicked on Select
(And the name won’t get selected any more)
It takes me back to the Share Event screen which is blank, no Name, no Role

Thanks!

[LegacyUG] Try Minimizing Edit Detail Window

[Jill’s Genealogy]

Hi I was in Edit Detail from the Assigned Sources Window.  I minimized the 
Detail Window to switch to another window and obtain a piece of info.  

The Detail Window disappeared.  The Assigned Sources Window will not Close 
(just chimes indicating the Detail Window is open somewhere) and the Assigned 
Sources minimize bar is grayed out.

The Legacy Window which can be see  behind Assigned Sources is also  grayed and 
unavailable.

Clicking on Edit Detail icon to restore the Edit Detail window doesn’t work, 
although it’s not grayed out.

Moving the Assigned Sources Window to reveal the Edit Detail won’t work either.

If I hover over the Legacy item in the Windows Task Bar, only the main Legacy 
Window shows and it’s not available (chime).  The other windows don’t show up.  

If I right click the task bar, I can cascade, stack or show the windows side by 
side.  Even though the Legacy windows appear, they can’t be opened.

Within task manage, I can close Legacy, but the file may become corrupted.  

How do I get to a screen that functions?  

Thanks!

Thanks, I closed the small window and alas it was covering printer, text file, 
clipboard text, etc options!

[LegacyUG] Info for Website

[Jill’s Genealogy]

I generated an Ancestor Book Report.  I would like to copy parts of it after I 
edit it and publish it on a personal website, crediting Legacy of course.  I 
see no way to do this using the Ancestor Book Report.  It appears that I can 
save the information as a PDF or as various image types but not as an editable 
document.

Is this correct?  

Is there a better way than by using Ancestor Book Report to get all the info, 
with the lovely footnotes, etc. into a document I can easily edit before 
publishing?  I just want a Word document with the same info.  

Thanks!
