Let's hope that the company doesn't decide to prune Legacy out of My
Heritage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Postings

[Sherry H]

As my hubby says "dinosaurs" . At least as we age and don't always
keep up with the new tech stuff, we kinda feel that way!

The staff spends most of their time on Facebook, but there are beta testers
and ex-staffers who are posting here. Your questions will get answered by
someone who knows!

The list was designed to be "users helping users", which means
minimal participation by staff.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Sherry H]

Are you *sure* they had 21 children? I've worked on families that I thought
were really large, only to find out that some kids were called by either
their first or middle name, even in census records, and found out there
weren't as many kids as I originally thought! And some were crazy like
Peter Leonard and Leonard Peter - one and the same? Or two kids?

Sounds like the TV show "19 Kids and Counting"!!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Location standards

[Sherry H]

Rules depend on whether or not you're planning on joining a lineage society
or uploading your data to FamilySearch. Otherwise, just be consistent for
your own sanity .

FamilySearch has specific requirements at
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Begin_Your_Genealogy_Quest#Recording_Locations
Recording Locations

   - *To record a location, start from the smallest entity to the largest*
   such as city, county, state, country.


   - For a person born in the USA, an example would be:*Chicago, Cook,
   Illinois, United States*.
   - If a person was not born in a city and you know the county, you might
   record just the county and state: *Cook, Illinois, United States*.
   - If you only know the state, you will record: *Illinois, United States*.

   - If you only know the country you will record: "United States".
   - In other parts of the world, locations may be: City, Province,
   Country. For example: *Chester, Cheshire, England* or *Acapulco,
   Guerrero, Mexico*.

[image: Html7.jpg] 

   - As you type in the location, you will see a menu to select your
   location. This feature is to keep locations in a standard format to
   facilitate matches with similar names with the same associated locations.


   - *Record the location as shown on the earliest record you have of the
   event*. Many times the place where a birth took place is in a different
   county or province today and in some cases even in a different country! For
   example, a person may have been born in a town which is in Poland today,
   but the town may have been part of the Kingdom of Prussia when the event
   took place. Boundary lines change over time in many parts of the United
   States as well as the rest of the world.



Debbie, I'm in DAR, and always used commas when entering locations in the
applications. Is the "no commas" something new?

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

Carrie, Do you have children? Sometimes, after saying the same thing 2
or 3 times, it's easy to get irritated with them and you need to speak
louder (call it yelling if you wish, but I had no way of emphasizing
my words here other than in all caps).

The people I responded to were NOT (not yelling. just emphasizing)
reading what I was saying and I was getting upset having to write it
so many times because of the difficulty of doing email on this
particular device.

That's the hard part with written communication. Many
misunderstandings as to intent.  (BTW, you just shouted as well!!!)

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

PLEASE!!

REREAD what I wrote. I'm not expecting whole conversations from FB to
be posted here.

If a staff member posts and announcement, such as build release, new
webinar, reduced rates for MyHeritage or upgrade prices for Legacy or
Legacy products = THOSE should be posted on the LUG list. Tips would
also be nice. How-to only if someone on the LUG list asks.

How hard is that to understand?

FB Notifications are IMPOSSIBLE. I've turned them off in most of the
groups I am a member of (I have no "Friends" on FB as they're insane
as well - I've seen some of the threads and no way do I have the time
or energy for that nonsense!) and have few showing only in FB. I will
not get them by text or email. Even if they're not Legacy posts.

FB is so changeable that FB Purity has a hard time keeping up. Plus it
seems to slow FB down, at least for me.

I do subscribe to the LUG email. However, it seems that FB is quicker
for notifications as those are posted right away and the LUG email is
generally quite behind.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

Michele,

Not *every* post. Just announcements about Legacy, webinars, etc. And
if you decide to allow graphics in emails, then no problems. I'm on a
lot of HTML email lists. It's attachments that can get scary!

I agree with a lot of the users. I absolutely cannot handle the number
of posts to the Legacy FB page. One of my biggest gripes is the number
of posts that repeat what someone else just said. If a member sees
that a question has been satisfactorily answered, why answer it again?

I get annoyed with a lot of the groups where members just do a
one-word post that doesn't enhance the conversation at all - like
'Yes!" or "Amen!" - just hit the danged "Like" button if you agree!

Since I don't use FB for Legacy, and announcements or helpful info is
rarely posted by staff here, I feel left out of the Legacy loop.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Sherry H]

I tried to follow the LUG FB page and it's totally insane. I can't
keep up with it. People hijack threads on FB just as often as they do
in mailing lists

It can't take that long to copy a post you just made to FB and paste
it into an email. No need to retype the entire post. The people on the
mailing list won't get the follow-ups by the group that are on the FB
page but there's no reason they can't get announcements or other
pertinent information about Legacy.

*Many email programs can thread a conversation for you.
*It's very easy to search emails - I think much easier than searching
in a FB group, esp if the emails have a good subject line.
*Sticky announcements are annoying - once I've read it, it's still
there in my face and I can't get rid of it. I can delete an email.
*If a mailing list is moderated, either members or posts, then you can
cut down on spam. In fact, I can't remember the last time I've seen
spam on any of the mailing lists I'm on. On FB, you have to wade
through all the ads that FB puts in a group. A moderated list can also
put a stop to a thread by rejecting posts
*Polls can be sent on mailing lists as well. I just responded to one
on a book list.
*I can choose to save emails that are of particular interest to me or
delete ones I have no interest in. They're all lumped together on FB.
*All the graphics on a FB page are annoying.
*Mailing lists *can* allow pictures. Up to the list owner.

I've been using FB for a few Christian groups and still not a fan - I
so wish they were mailing lists instead!

Re: [LegacyUG] Map Family

[Sherry H]

If you keep your eye on the Legacy Home tab, you'll always find out
quckly when a new update is available. Some people even have their
options set for Legacy to open to that tab when you open Legacy - you
can get update info, reminders for birth dates and anniversaries as
well as the latest from Legacy News.

Re: [LegacyUG] FW: Warning about MyHeritage / OFF LIST / Personal Emails

[Sherry H]

A lot of people are not interested in a particular subject line. If
someone changes the topic without starting a new thread without an
appropriate subject line, it's their loss. People who *may* have been
able to help them are skipping the email because of the subject line.

It is frustrating for those who are interested in the subject, only to
find out that the subject has been hijacked. So from that point on,
you need to realize that the original topic is gone. If you wish to
continue the discussion, start a new thread!

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages - fonts

[Sherry H]

LTools is not a Legacy sponsored program - Dennis was totally on his
own with it.

When Legacy added Shared Events, Dennis had difficulty updating LTools
to work with all the changes in the program. There are even larger
data schema changes in v9.

Some parts of LTools work fine with Legacy v8 and 9. On the LTools
menu, there's a link to compatibility with v8
http://zippersoftware.com/wp/ltools/legacy-v8-compatibility/  Tidy
HTML tool will work since it doesn't access the database itself.

He also has a warning on his site

"This toolkit’s intended audience is the “advanced” Legacy user.
Casual Legacy users who are not comfortable with computers in general
are encouraged NOT to use LTools. In addition, users who are NOT
familiar with general backup and recovery strategies AND Legacy’s
Backup/Restore functionality should not attempt to use LTools."

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree for Mac

[Sherry H]

The programmers were working with a company on a "Crossover" version
for the Mac but it wasn't going well, last I heard. Like Chris said,
Legacy will probably need a complete rework.

The Legacy website said it will run under Parallels, Fusion, or
Bootcamp.  https://legacyfamilytree.com/Features.asp   Not being a Mac
person, I don't know the differences.

Some Legacy users will stick with a Windows machine just for their
genealogy so they can run Legacy natively.

I totally agree Susie! There is *No* need for name calling and that can get
you removed/banned from the LUG List!

One thing that causes problems - when you go to the link to unsubscribe,
you also need to change the radio button from "Subscribe" to "Unsubscribe".

This list is actually quite inactive compared to the Facebook page!

They're not "my" programmers When I was working for Legacy in

Gene,

Legacy doesn't support non-Western European fonts. I don't know when
the programmers will be able to reprogram Legacy in a programming
language that supports those fonts. I know it's been a popular request
probably since the program was first released.

The only workaround is to use the closest English equivalent.

It would be security settings on the second computer through the browser,

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy

[Sherry H]

And being aware of possible subscription problems can help the Legacy
Users who are planning on subscribing to My Heritage. Not everyone is
aware enough to watch out for the "automatic renewal" option and may
end up being charged for more time than they wish.

Someone I know subscribed for a smaller amount and his subscription
was renewed for *twice* that a year later. Not a happy camper because
he wasn't aware of the automatic renewal and how to turn it off. Don't
you think it's better to resolve something like this before it
happens???

The list is not specifically for Legacy Support to attend to - they
have more than enough to worry about - but for "users helping users"

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

[Sherry H]

If you want to argue with the guidelines, go ahead, Carrie. These have
been in place since the Legacy Lists first started...

I'm not looking at changing rules. You *could* consider the MyHeritage
website as an "add-on program". But they *do* own Legacy and I see
no reason why the website for the company that owns Legacy can't be
discussed.

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

[Sherry H]

Actually, since Legacy is owned by MyHeritage, it should be ok to
discuss the site.

The Legacy User Group Guidelines at
https://legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp state:
"The purpose of the LUG is to provide a forum for mutual help and the
friendly exchange of ideas related to the use of Legacy Family Tree
and its add-on programs, only. Please keep on topic."

It's better to be "nice" than rant, but I see no reason why
dissatisfaction about either should be disallowed. I think we should
be made aware of problems and issues that come up. It can help someone
in the future pay closer attention to what their doing and avoid the
heartache of automatic renewal if they can't afford it or have a
problem remembering to cancel the renewal.

I don't subscribe to any of the paid sites since being retired I can't
afford it and they're all available for free anyway at the local FHC.

Re: [LegacyUG] Documents

[Sherry H]

You can create a "Scrapbook" (View ribbon) and include all graphics
you've linked to in your Family File. However, if you've linked
document files (doc, PDF, xls), those can't be printed ou.

Also, from Scrapbook, you can print a Media File List so you can see a
list of all the files you've linked to.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping Feature of Legacy 9

[Sherry H]

Yup - it's broken and there's no way to produce maps.  I don't know if
or when the programmers will get it fixed - it's been broken for a
long time now! One of the best features in Legacy too!!! Very
frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Update

[Sherry H]

Getting email responses on a poll or a multitude of "me too" responses
are annoying!

Getting *information* and discussion about the subject of the mailing
list is what we all hope for!

Re: [LegacyUG] I use the AFN for familysearch

[Sherry H]

Does FamilySearch use the AFN? I thought that was the super old
"Ancestral File Number" and the FSID is used for FamilySearch?

Re: [LegacyUG] Mapping feature

[Sherry H]

It's been broken for months. No idea if or when it will be fixed. It's
been a very popular feature and a lot of people are very frustrated
that it's not working

Re: [LegacyUG] Bing Maps and Geo-Code

[Sherry H]

Another company got the problem fixed right away, but supposedly with
Legacy there's some issue with the older programming language used or
the coding or something. I keep hearing about the major project it is
to fix it. Maps are used in numerous areas in Legacy.

I wonder why they can't use something like Google maps instead? I know
a ton of Legacy users use the mapping a lot and really miss it. I do!

Re: [LegacyUG] Transferring Customization Files from Version 8 to 9

[Sherry H]

ll install right over the v8 folder. There will be some new options in
Options > Customize, but the ones you have already selected  should not be
changed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry Autosomal DNA Test

[Sherry H]

Unfortunately, v8 doesn't have Stories.

You could create a DNA Event and add the information there. If you
have multiple to add the DNA Event to, I'd suggest using the Event
Clipboard. I like the Clipboard feature so much better than Shared
Events.
