Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

[Tessa Keough]

I think everyone needs to keep in mind what terrific service
Legacy/MyHeritage offer their users - whether through mail list or Facebook
Group, through video tutorials online at Legacy Webinars or through the
Help section found in the Legacy software. And if you don't want to "keep
up" with Legacy on Facebook, but only use it as needed for your issues -
simply use the search feature, I find it very handy. For a very reasonable
cost of the software, Legacy offers so many ways of assisting their
customers at no cost to us - just a little time as we learn how best to use
our software. Thanks for all you and others do with Facebook, blog posts,
and cross posting to the Mail Group.

Re: [LegacyUG] uppercase surnames

[Tessa Keough]

I say turn off the warning (as mentioned previously) AND you own your
family tree(s) and those people are in your genealogy software (you own
Legacy, it doesn't own you). If and when you want to share online or
elsewhere and feel the need, you could switch over to Initial Cap for
surname (or keep with All Cap). This is not one of the errors/problems like
not using the correct date format so that internationally we all know what
we are talking about - you do you!

Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter Templates not as US biased as imagined

[Tessa Keough]

Agree that the sourcewriter templates are useful and you can set up your
own master sources - I have done this extensively for Swedish and Norwegian
records as well as Irish and Newfoundland records. I use the template and
make use of Evidence Explained for the parts I need to include. The thing I
love about Legacy is that you can find a template for fit with the types of
records you are using.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Sources vs

[Tessa Keough]

that is the eternal "lumper" vs "splitter" debate that many have had and
you can probably find discussion of on various boards. For my part I am a
lumper and I use the 1920 US Census as a master source (I do make the
distinction of where I got it) and then change it up in detail for the
locations and households. Others use the specific census in the specific
location as the master source and the detail is just the household.

Question - what did you do before and how did it work for you? Give it some
thought, watch the videos that reference master sources and decide for
yourself how you want to approach your master sources.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locking a specific rin

[Tessa Keough]

I use that option in Legacy (to not reuse RINs) AND I never do any
automatic merges (manual gives you better control although it takes a
little more time). Also you might want to print out your list of
individuals with RINs and MRINs so you have your ID system in case
something goes wonky.

Re: [LegacyUG] patronymic names

[Tessa Keough]

For my Scandinavian ancestors I use their patronym as their surname because
that is what it is. For those who changed their surname at any time, I use
the AKA with the surname and explanation. You could also have a Surname
Change event/fact and enter the data there to put it in chronological
order. You could also use a tab to indicate patronyms (be sure to include
what the tab indicates right from the get go). As to farmnames and/or
residence information personally I put that in the suffix area but you
could also put it in fact/event.

Legacy is pretty flexible and I wanted to make sure I liked the way a
report read (especially chronology reports) so I played around with it from
the beginning of my Scandinavian research. Am interested to learn what
others have done - so please share!

Re: [LegacyUG] Run-time error 3021. No current record.

[Tessa Keough]

I got this error twice a while ago, but I have not seen it recently. I do
think if Legacy allows us to add events or modify sentences then that
should not be a source of the errors (as mentioned by Sherry). Telling us
we can do something with a program and then telling us that doing it might
cause a problem does not seem to be a good system. And sometimes
coding/programming changes seem to fix one thing but bring up another
problem - that probably means a bit more testing before a revision is
released might be a good idea.

Re: [LegacyUG] Any Way to Mark a PERSON as Never Married?

[Tessa Keough]

I like Legacy and hope that they continue to pay attention to the
market and the needs of their customers because, when all is said and
done, it is a business that provides a product to the public.

Whether it is the administrators or the programmers - ease of use,
keeping up with the competition, offering useful and necessary
features, and updates that take care of previous bugs and don't add
new ones - is what it is all about. I am sure these companies all
watch each other and then make decisions based on where they want
their product to go in the future. Sadly we have seen promising
programs fall by the wayside and others never take off if they can't
satisfy their customer base.

I am under the impression (don't know why) that it is a small group
but they are involved in all aspects. It would be interesting to know
more and I would guess those who have been on the cruises might have a
better idea of the players and their attitudes/capabilities.

Re: [LegacyUG] Place names sorting

[Tessa Keough]

When people ask I always tell them there is no one way of doing anything
(only the best and most intuitive for you). The two key points are (1) know
what the output will look like - how do you want to use your reports,
charts, etc. - and then tweak the input to accomplish it; and (2) be
consistent - when you make a decision, make a note of it and have your
cheatsheet so you know your process or workflow. Finally (and this is the
bonus) we own our programs, they don't own us - make conscious decisions,
test the parameters, and use your program so that it works for you.

 Hi Jenny,

 That's exactly why I don't use the Address fields except for repositories
 and mailing addresses.

 We each have to decide which standards we will follow and why. If we don't
 follow some accepted standard we need to know what the consequences are. In
 this case one of the consequences is much better output. We still need to
 be consistent.

Thanks so much Brian - hearing the issue made me a bit ill as I don't
really want to fix my program and I expect my data to be right where I put
it. Another reminder to all Legacy users of why it is so important to back
up and have a couple of systems in place (extra protection).

Also Kathy and Brian are what I consider power users (always helpful
answering questions and know Legacy quite well) and have been using Legacy
for awhile. My concern is that if this type of things happens to you two,
what are the chances others (including me) might also have this happen (and
perhaps not even notice it until many days or weeks have passed). Really
want those popups or reminders that what we have done might have an affect
we did not contemplate (big fan of warnings). Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Immense Frustration

[Tessa Keough]

You say you have updated Legacy - perhaps you need to do a clean
install of the program. Maybe something in your Legacy program file
got corrupted. When you send the family file to Legacy Support they
have no problem reading it - so it almost sounds like the program is
wonky BUT I am not a tech person so that is just a thought. I hope you
get this figured out - how completely frustrating.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location list

[Tessa Keough]

Jane
I think the best practice (but that's just my 2 cents) would be to
include the country. My ancestors came late to this country any time
from 1855 to 1920 time-frame. When you think of many places
(especially in the USA) you know that the town or city could be in
more than one State (and the same thing happens for places in
different countries). Why not be specific - spell out the places as
they appeared during the event AND then your short form location can
be anything you want. And while some use United States, I use USA.

Finally, when you input your data realize that you can always sort
your master location however you choose (it is a tab right there in
the master location list). Sometimes when I need to find things - I
play around you can do a couple of different ways or do a custom sort.
Play with it (you can't break it) is what I tell users in our Legacy
Virtual Users' Group Google+ community.

Re: [LegacyUG] Scandinavian locations...

[Tessa Keough]

I have Swedish and Norwegian ancestors and I use the patronymic name
as their surname (that is what is listed on their birth and baptism
register) and the farm name is included in the title suffix. When you
see the individual in the name list it will read (for instance)
Andreas Arntsen, Husbynmoen (and I can see this in the list or in the
family view (as well as all the various views).

I include as an event when they move to a new farm. That way I have
both a date and it goes into their timeline. I consider the events in
Legacy to be event, fact, etc. - that way everything is in
chronological order.

Believe this list is no attachments - if any of you are on Google+ our
Legacy Virtual Users' Group community will have examples to see what
this looks like in practice.

 and speaking of proper sequencing of locations, anyone there with
 Finnish lineage? As you may know
 it wasn't until about 1923 that the government of Finland made it mandatory
 to have only one surname.
 Up until then every time a person moved from farm to farm (and this
 sometimes was frequent) the new
 farm name was taken as a surname. This, alone, could present a problem.
 What surname to use? I use the last name known,
 although sometimes I might enter it like this: Tarvainen/Pajunen/Matson.
 Then, regarding the towns or villages
 they might have lived in, I'll use the last village known and enter the
 other towns/villages in the Notes.
How do others of you with Finnish and maybe Swedish naming systems handle
 this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about an Event Address

[Tessa Keough]

Interesting - this is one of those instances where if you know what you are
looking for, you can find it. When I typed sort (sort string is not a
choice) and looked through each reference to display, I did not see how it
would relate to addresses for locations (events, repositories) which is why
I was looking for it. But if you know that sort string it is for surnames,
then the sort string would be useful and you would know where to look.
Thanks for the explanation.

Re: [LegacyUG] Index Tab

It is a view - so you have Legacy Home, Family, Pedigree, Descendant,
Chronology and Index. That last one is what he was talking about. Hope
that helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Printing Family Group Sheet Issue

[Tessa Keough]

Not sure but perhaps you need to check the Chronology Options tab
after you are in the Chronology Report (there are checkmarks for what
to include as well as who to include). Perhaps something got
unchecked.

Re: [LegacyUG] Where to put gathered information?

Agree - both OneNote and Evernote are great and I use them for

and the built in features and interaction with Excel and Word are
quite good.

 You can save other things besides web pages to OneNote as well.

 But until I get confirmation of that data to make sure it applies to

 OneNote can be on the web as well as Evernote.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ethnicity

[Tessa Keough]

Yes it is a nice start but very general - Newfoundland did not join
the confederation of Canada until 1949 however my ancestors get thrown
into Canada (Newfoundlanders through and through). And of course we
have the issue of the Austria-Hungary Empire - if your ancestors were
born in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Yugoslavia - and that all depends
on the date, so that is problematic as well. As another poster stated,
the same issue arises with Germany and Italy through time. Of course
depending on what we include in our databases makes a difference but I
am clear about Newfoundland and it makes no difference. Will just have
to superimpose the Newfoundland flag!

That said, it is a great quick and dirty view and it does give people
an approximation and get the conversation started. My sister knew to
ask the questions and we played with the basic report. All good as
long as you think critically (always important).

Re: [LegacyUG] Occupations and residences

[Tessa Keough]

yes the beauty of the chronology is that everything is in date order
and you (or anyone else) can easily see the changes - whether that is
children, occupation, residence, etc. Whether you review your report
in list or report view, it is very helpful. Give it a go with a few
entries and see which you prefer, you might be surprised.

 What's wrong with a long list?

 If you combine all the moves into one Event it could completely negate

[LegacyUG] Post about Legacy platform

[Tessa Keough]

Did any of you see the blog post from Louis Kessler with Behold
Genealogy about some comments on various genealogy matters? He
mentioned Legacy (in conjunction with the recent TMG close up).
Specifically that Legacy was built on same platform (FoxPro) and that
this will prove to be a problem now and in future. Any thoughts from
those more behind the curtain tech folks in this group?

The link for his post is here http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/blog/?p=1386

Re: [LegacyUG] One Place Studies Legacy

I use Legacy for my one-place study. Keep in mind that much of what
you do in Legacy can be pushed out as csv files and the other major
thing I use with my one-place study is Excel workbooks - so for me it
is a good fit. Would be interested in knowing what others do.

 Has anyone tried using Legacy for a One Place Study?
 I'm beginning a OPS and would like very much to use Legacy but can't get
 over some hurdles.
 All of the reports seem to be Name based and I can't see how to get reports
 for an entire place.

 I'm beginning with the 1940 census for my place. Once input I'd like to have
 assistance from the local history society for that place. I'm having trouble
 see how to get an entire listing of everyone in the database. The descendant
 tab would give an good report. But it too is for a particular name. I
 started putting everyone as a descendant of The Place and that works well
 but since Legacy limits children to 60 it won't scale well, even for this
 relatively small place.

 I'm just starting this so would like to see if anyone out there has
 attempted this (successfully or unsuccessfully).

Re: [LegacyUG] need help with family view

[Tessa Keough]

As I see it in version 7.5 there are two options, DATA ENTRY - default
married names - either generate surname of spouse or nothing and in
VIEW - default family view labels (edit default marriage wording) your
choices are husband/wife or male/female AND married, married someone,
had a relationship with, had a relationship with someone. First you
choose the label title then you choose the relationship and it is
Person 1 xxx Person 2. Pretty clear what you are choosing.

 Something strange has just happened to my file.  In the family view in the

 In the case of a male child who died young  never married,  in the upper

 the right hand pane is the word married.



 In the case of a female child for whom I have only a birth date, in the

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging options

[Tessa Keough]

I don't know if it is the weather or people not getting enough sleep,
but lately the tone here is getting a bit mean-spirited. Lots of
people use Windows and like it (me included) and let's not take every
comment as an us versus them mentality. The individual asked a
question, he told you his reasons for continuing to use version 7.5
(and many of your users are on 7.5), not everyone switches right away
and even when they do, it takes time to learn and move over
completely. There is always a learning curve and assisting with
answering questions should be done with a smile not a frown.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging Marriages

Very helpful Ron - there appear to be a number of tasks that LTools
can handle and many Legacy Users have it to add functionality to the
Legacy program. At a recent LVUG Community Hangout, the presenter
mentioned she got her money's worth because she was able to change the
font sizes on the Legacy made website with the LTools program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Create Report based on events

[Tessa Keough]

This is something I followed when I first saw Cliff's request for
help. I played around in the Index view and then in light of Sherry's
comments in the Name List and it was the subject of a video I did in
the Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community on Google+. All this month
in honor of Family History Month we are having our Tuesday's Tips
every single day - either a post or a video or some images to discuss
a feature of Legacy - we are going through the alphabet!.

That said, the Index view throws lots of us as far as usefulness and I
tried the suggestion and got the same results as Cliff - no easy or
hard way to get this type of data out of Legacy. These are the types
of features we would like our genealogy database program to handle. We
realize it can't do it all but this would be useful. Glad to know
another program can solve your problem Cliff.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Charting

[Tessa Keough]

I have been very impressed with Charting so far. I thought when Legacy
upgraded it, they did a very good job indeed and I use it quite a lot
as my family prefers to see family connections rather than read about
them (especially useful with family reunions or scrapbooks).

For a recent family reunion, we printed a chart on plain paper and
then put it in protective sleeves. That way people could use post its
and paper to write up changes, additions, etc., and put insides the
sleeve. Now I just need to update and then we might spring for good
paper!

We made charts up for the wedding scrapbook we did for my parents - it
includes pages for each of the family weddings with a chart about the
married in person's family as well as a larger our family chart at
the end of each book (took two - lots of weddings).

So much you can do with it. Great to know that you were able to get
good prints from local printer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webpages

[Tessa Keough]

Good to know I am not a total eejit as my granddad would say! And
another reason why it is important to always ask for clarification - I
am glad Ron did that because it helped clear up my comments. Thanks.

Yesterday our Legacy Virtual Users' Group had our monthly Google+
hangout and one of the items we discussed was the various teasers by
Geoff throughout the summer as well as what we were the most
interested in as far as improvements and additions to Legacy. It is
always interesting to hear what others think are important features.

Our LVUG Community Google+ hangouts are on air and recorded for any
Legacy users who might be interested. There is something about being
able to talk with people or show how we do things (by sharing the
screen) that helps. I also use some of the questions I see on this
Forum and work through them in my Tuesday's Tips at the site - we are
a group of Legacy users if any of you want to have a bit more
interaction. I enjoy this Forum as well, as I am always learning
something!

Re: [LegacyUG] Webpages

[Tessa Keough]

I think this is one of many times when customers say - if you are
going to include something, make it a bells and whistles item,
advertise that you have this feature - then perhaps you want to make
sure the feature works as advertised, update the feature over time,
and keep in mind the skill level of your customer base that you
thought would use the feature.

For those who program, code, make their own websites - they are not
going to be using this feature. For others with little skills in this
area (or little interest in learning the skill-set) they may have made
their selection of  Legacy (in part) due to its advertisement that it
was providing the feature in a useful and pleasing format.

Is Legacy first and foremost a genealogy database management program
(that is a mouthful!)? YES but when you sell various features and
potential customers compare the features - look at the various reports
and reviews - you should deliver. I think Legacy does this but if the
comment that was made was this is a feature with issues for the past
nine years - this should either move up the suggestion chain and be
improved OR not be a bells and whistles feature.

Not to beat a dead horse but this was an issue with SourceWriter -
which I think is great and use and LOVE, but a selling feature
originally (and in the manual) was that you could switch your regular
sources into SourceWriter - never worked, didn't happen and people new
to the program (with the manual) still ask about it every so often.
Perhaps not overselling is a good thing. Legacy does so many things
well and is so intuitive, it should be enough to focus on the
genealogy and make suggestions about other programs that do their
little piece of the pie well.  My two cents.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webpages

[Tessa Keough]

No Ron - you are missing my point (sorry if I was unclear). I think
that webpages are an important selling feature and that being said,
they should work as customers expect or would like them to.

I think sometimes the various companies are in such a competition of
sorts to get features added or improved (and I guess the customer base
is encouraged to demand that) that sometimes the usefulness factor
decreases or there is so much going on that improvements don't get
made. Some features are treated a little like orphans once they are
put into the program. Now it is up to the customer base to let the
company know what we want and what doesn't work. But it is concerning
to hear that something that does not work right or well, does not get
fixed over a long period of time.

Bells and whistles as I used it refers to plugging something as a
selling point and then not providing it or providing less than what
was promised - something that sounds good, is new and bright and
shiny, but does not live up to hype (or does not live up to it over
time - I don't expect perfection).

Is that clearer or still a bit muddy? For the record, I think if there
is a feature in a program, it should work. If it does not work it
should be fixed or removed. I am a person who wants all the parts to
work and play nicely together.

 I agree that Legacy is genealogy program (although I prefer Family History), 
 but what use is such a program if there is no output, just the data on a

 Bells and whistles, definitely not, rather essential parts of the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report

This is one of those features of Legacy that you really need to play
with to make the most of it. Be sure to take a look at the filter
options AND something I do is to put the date of a to-do item first
then my to-dos are in chronological order. Our Legacy Virtual Users'
Group had a presentation on working with to-do feature and other
members also told what they did to make it work well for them. Always
play around with the features and preview reports to get exactly what
you want.

Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report

[Tessa Keough]

Excellent comments Michele. And really think about spending the time
to fill in all the necessary information. I can easily click on
Minnesota Archives and have my to do list in date order for death
certificates and simply run through those when I visit (or give them
to a family member who lives in area to work on). The to-do list then
is your research log as you keep everything and simply click on closed
when you are finished. A very robust feature (like so many others) if
you take the time to learn it.

Perhaps this needs to be a Tuesday's Tip in the Legacy Virtual Users'
Group Community. If you are on this Forum and use Google+ you might
want to check that community -  a helpful virtual users' group.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Source for Crew Lists in Source Writer

[Tessa Keough]

Quick question - what are you looking at? If the crew list is from an
online database, is that a database or an index? If you are looking at
original records, it might be a journal or log. I always take a look
at the description of the document type (easily done at ancestry for
example).  In the instance of Dorset Crew Lists their reference to the
source reads as follows:

Ancestry.com. Dorset, England, Crew Lists, 1863-1914 [database
on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011. This
collection was indexed by Ancestry World Archives Project
contributors.
Original data: Dorset Crew Lists. Dorchester, Dorset: Dorset History Centre.

Elizabeth Shown Mills always asks - what are YOU looking at (what are
you holding in your hand)? And then go from there. In the example
above it is an online database. I might be all wrong (and I am sure
someone will tell me) BUT your source is different from the event/fact
- the event/fact would be employment and the source would be the crew
list.

Does that help or does it muddy the waters for you?

Re: FW: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree 8 Revealed - Origins and Migration Reports

[Tessa Keough]

Since Legacy is an international program (I have seen that there are
translations of the program), Legacy will definitely want to make sure
that this feature has the correct information as far as countries,
states, provinces, etc. goes - so that the feature is actually useful
(groupings are correct) and because I know that the issue of countries
engenders strong feelings based on history and, of course, Legacy will
need to make provision for the changing political geography - past and
present.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree 8 Revealed - Origins and Migration Reports

[Tessa Keough]

Ron - don't get me wrong and I don't think I said this feature was
bad. I get how hard it is to make these programs work for everyone and
that there are issues relating to translations, wording based on
language, keyboards, etc. I also think there are easy things to do and
more difficult ones.

When you introduce a feature like this one and want to sell it it
does help to either have the countries correct or explain why you
choose the terms you did.  I also wonder if we are going to be able to
add or modify this feature (similar to timelines and Event/Facts
sentence structure) because there are probably lots of countries that
no longer exist or changed depending on the date (I have several in my
own family file). In light of the history of Eastern Europe this could
prove interesting.

This is the downside of teasers - we might see a feature with a short
description and wonder about the whys  hows or how far along the
feature is. I suppose this forum becomes testers to a certain extent
when we comment upon or point out errors or that something is unclear
or wonder how useful it might be. I have found all the comments here
in response to features shown and hoped for features not yet mentioned
interesting and thoughtful.

As to problems with the global location database used in Legacy, what
are you referring to?

 Actually, Legacy has been reasonably good when it comes to the names of
 European countries, the big disadvantage being the lack of ability to
 read/write the Cyrillic alphabet. Where there are problems eg. with the

Re: [LegacyUG] Surety v sources

I have seen this before - we are happy to consider suggestions for
new features. But I have also seen Legacy Users who state that they
have sent in suggestions since 2006 that have never been addressed.

Is there any system for knowing what others have suggested, where the
suggestion is in the pipeline, and/or whether suggestions move up
based on how often suggested or seconded, or if including suggestions
in the program has little to do with Legacy Users' requests? Thanks
for any insight.

Ron - I guess I was wondering more if suggestions go into any type of
system and if there is a response from Legacy to the Legacy User -
already in the pipeline, good idea we should have thought of that,
nice thought but impossible to do, what are you crazy, or any response
in between.

And I don't really know that a competitor jumped on anything, I think
that most programs have similar bells and whistles (Legacy just had a
number of them sooner than some others and their interface is better
in my opinion). But it is interesting that this competitor was able
to implement the feature so quickly. I don't have that program so I
don't know if or how it works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for cleaning up a Legacy Family Tree database

I don't think you have to have a gmail address to use YouTube (but I
have been with gmail and Google+ for so long I don't recall). Our LVUG
Community is on Google+ due to ease of use and the ability to
automatically record our on-air hangouts (for free).

DearMyrtle hosts her Mondays with Myrt on Google+ and there are lots
of genealogy communities, included the Guild of One-Name Studies. I am
sorry if you are unable to see the LVUG Community if you are not
signed up with a gmail account. I know for many it is one more site,
but as private individuals (volunteers) we have found it a great way
to interact and have a free broadcast studio for our meetings.

 I saw your question to the LegacyUserGroup and wanted to also suggest the
 Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community on Google+. We are 334 members who

 use Legacy and

  share tips and suggestions and/or ask question which other members answer
 (on that site we can use links and images - oftentimes a picture is worth a
 thousand words).



 We also have a monthly hangout where we go over a particular Legacy feature.
 These are recorded and can be watched anytime on my YouTube Channel
 TessaWatch. Every Tuesday we have a Tuesday's Tip (sometimes

 a

 written post other times a short video). We have discussed locations, master
 sources, events/facts and several other topics. I am including a link to
 each for you

 as it is another user-based resource.

  Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Report with images

[Tessa Keough]

I don't see how directing Jay to the purchase of CDs answers his
question. Am wondering since I have those CDs ,where would I need to
look to find the answer (and probably more importantly - is there an
answer to his question)? I would think the help section included in
Legacy should be able to direct us to a response on how to do
something within our program.

I took a look at Reports and Scrapbook because scrapbook appears to be
where you can get your multimedia to print out (not sure because I
don't use this feature as yet). One would think a particular report
should be able to handle this BUT I didn't find anything.

I went to Event Report and since I have an event/fact as FindAGrave I
asked for a report of all individuals who have the event FindAGrave
and asked for a printout of  the Report out to include the
information. That works well for the report - I got a complete list
that included all individuals in alphabetical order and included my
notes BUT there is no option for any of the multimedia associated with
the event - that is either something that should be added to the
report options or somehow I am missing something.

So what did others try to get the type of report that Jay is asking
about (and kudos Jay for transcribing the information from a cemetery
- what are you planning on doing with it?). I will ask this question
in our Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community on Google+ - we have a
section for asking How Do I Do That? and people are able to attach
examples (either documents or images - sometimes a picture helps
explain things).

Re: [LegacyUG] US Naturalisation

[Tessa Keough]

Jenny

I have lots of citizenship paperwork for my family members and made up
three separate events/facts with the corresponding event/fact
sentences modified

Citizenship Notice
Citizenship Petition
Citizenship Order

because I have people who filed more than one notice, I have people
whose order was a denial (both with and without prejudice), and a host
of other situations. I also abstract the information from each
document into my notes about the event/fact. And you are correct Jenny
there is a wealth of information due to the timing of these legal
documents - my grandfather's arrival date and place is contained in
the Notice, he lived in different places, he had additional children
between the notice and the petition, the information about his
occupation changed, witness names and their occupations gave me
additional avenues to pursue. All helpful (quite similar to the
information contained in the various paperwork required for property
pursuant to the Homestead Act).

I would share a jpeg of what mine look like but I don't think that is
allowed here. Would be a good topic for our Legacy Virtual Users'
Group Community on Google+ and I could easily share some images there.
Good luck with your citizenship finds.

 Subject: [LegacyUG] Windows 8


 I have “returned” to Legacy having flirted with a different program and a
 computer crash. I now have windows 8. I had trouble importing my ged and
 have had to manually add my last years work. I didn’t follow instructions
 for downloading but at the moment haven’t found any errors. I didn’t alter
 the UAC to never notify and the instructions don’t say if it must be left at
 that setting. I don’t understand if that setting can be just for legacy or
 means that all programs are set at that and if so is that wise? Should I
 continue in the hope all is well or do a clean reinstall ?
 Thanks Sue Anderson

Re: [LegacyUG] How to record patronymic names.

[Tessa Keough]

When I am working on my Scandinavian lines, I go to customizing and
turn off the add father's surname button so I don't have to remove
it while adding information. I also use the other surnames (often if
they left Sweden or Norway they changed their surnames) in the aka
section . Also I add farmnames for my Norwegian people into the suffix
(this way I have their names with their farmnames together.
Play around with Legacy and customize - easy to do and it will save
you time in the long run. We have discussed this and have a few
hangout recordings on customizing and data entry at the Legacy Virtual
Users' Group page. We also meet online once a month.

 My ancestors, being Jewish, didn't have last names in Europe until abt 1800.
 Before then, people went by their name and their fathers.
 Such as Moses Seligmann, born 1757, Germany, Seligmann being Moses father.
 Moses Seligmann signed documents as such, and in 1809, he and his family
 Adopted the surname Turkheimer,
 after that, documents were signed Moses Turkheimer.
 How should this name be entered in Legacy?
 On the individual information screen, If I enter Moses Seligmann (his
 birth name), it looks like every other middle name.
 I enter relevant info in notes and events.
 How do I properly enter Moses Seligmann, with no last name, and not
 looking like a middle name.
 Appreciate any and all suggestions.

 How much of a problem is it to enter the patronymic as if it was a surname?

 Although Legacy assumes that children will have the same surname as
 their father it has no objection to you changing that and entering
 whatever surname you want.  You can create an Event for the adoption of
 the surname Turkheimer and enter that as an AKA for Moses and other
 members of his family who adopted it and then enter it as the surname
 for Moses' children.

Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife

[Tessa Keough]

Sure - you have the father and for his spouse and the mother I just
name them Unknown, Unknown (others might leave blank but I prefer to
have some information - you could add what you know about possible
birth and death timeframes). Then you add second wife (or add
marriage) and the children will show up with Unknown in ( ) in that
second marriage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Split View

The past week my Legacy has also been a bit wonky - not just in split
view, but if I go back and forth between it and another program
(Excel) doing some data entry work - it freezes, closes down, I reopen
and it works fine for an extended while and then repeat. Did check
repair - not problems and the family is not all that large (5,000).
Have newest download - 7.0.5.166 - agree - what's up?

 Just a question (I'm not sure if the answer is significant). Does the shut

 Another question does it matter which order you load the files when

Re: [LegacyUG] Upgrade my LFT5.0, and/or purchase Genelines

[Tessa Keough]

Personally I don't think the timelines in Genelines are that helpful
(a good start but they have not been updated in a long time).
Depending on what you want from your program, there are many ways to
come up with timelines. May I suggest that you watch the recorded
hangout from Legacy Virtual Users' Group - it was all about using
timelines with Legacy Family Tree (using online timelines, using
Genelines, using Legacy, and making your own in Legacy). The link is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T9KP0S0Y9k. Hope this helps you make a
decision that works for you.

  Are there compelling reasons to upgrade my 5.0 Deluxe to now 7.0
 Deluxe? I've researched my lineage and traced them from 1700's Virginia
 through KY, AL, MS, and TX. Legacy 5.0 has served me well in the compiling,
 data entry/organizing, and reports tasks. (I have enough info to print a 41
 page Descendant Narrative.)  So should I update to 7.0 only  to get a few
 more cosmetic 'bells and whistles'? What I really need now is a feature that
 assists in making a smooth flowing easily read narrative book.
  Or help me search to find out when my earliest known ancestor arrived,
 and on what ship (prior to 1820 when ship passenger manifests were not
 required). A yes to either would persuade me to upgrade.
  Otherwise I'd purchase the 'Genelines software, if the State
 'timelines' were detailed enough, such as MS.  Are the state timelines
 fairly detailed, or just a few sketchy 'big events'.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source List Name?

[Tessa Keough]

I think it is because it is best to use complete identifiers. The
accepted state codes have changed over time and of course, if you are
doing international work many of those people aren't familiar with our
codes (just as we might not be with theirs). Always better to be clear
and then use the short form with abbreviations.

Re: [LegacyUG] Future updates

[Tessa Keough]

I remember the version 7 release (although not at traumatized as some
Legacy users). I do think that with the advancements by other
genealogy programs (most recently Ancestral Quest and RootsMagic), it
would be nice to have some general idea regarding a newer version of
Legacy. I think we all know that something is in the works - It would
not require a date certain and it would not require the list of
features, but it would be nice to know if we can expect something in
the near or far future OR if we should be looking at other programs.

I appreciate the great features in Legacy and realize that we have had
some features that others are just now getting BUT there were some
very interesting features introduced by others. I would like to know
if Legacy is going in that direction or if I need to spend some time
playing with other programs to get features that would be helpful to
my research and publishing. There is a lot out there and we do know
that these programs all try to provide the bells and whistles. I think
this is a simple request - are significant improvements in the works
or not? And if there is not something concrete in the pipeline now
that pretty much answers my question.

 performance;  especially at the Legacy 7.5 price point!

 Millennia does an excellent job in a small niche market with a steep
 middle-managent learning curve and with pretty limited resources.

 I expect some hickups, as long as it doesn't become the norm, and I want
 to make sure I always give credit where credit is due.

 Legacy 7.5 is a very good product at a very good price!  I wouldn't
 hesitate to buy it again right now.

Re: [LegacyUG] Latest Webinar not working?

[Tessa Keough]

Sherry - this is not the first time your response to an issue with
Legacy has been to dis Chrome. I am fine with you not liking it, but
for the company to have programs and products that have problems
with Chrome and telling subscribers that they should remove it to
solve the problem is really NOT the answer. Do you or the programmers
know why certain Legacy features won't work with Chrome and do you
even know that is the issue? Your comment seems more than a bit
dismissive and clearly Chrome was not the issue for the poster. Chrome
is a player in the browser game, lots of people use it and other
Google products, and you might want to know whether it is the problem
before you dump on Chrome.

do things in Legacy. The monthly hangouts are online and are also
available for viewing if you cannot attend live. Last week we have a
presentation on Events and Facts. Completely free and also inclusive -
everyone is welcome.

You can check out previous videos on YouTube or go directly to our

Re: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

Has anyone at Legacy considered simplemachines.org (a free forum
software) for use with this forum. The Guild of One-Name Studies
recently added this type of forum to its member services/resources. It
is a clean system with a topic-based layout. Members of the forum are
able to post by topic, attach videos, photos, screen captures, and
files. These are on-line so they do not download unless you choose to
download them. It may be something to consider as forums evolve over
time. Additionally you would not need to have posts in your email -
just sign in to the forum and look for the topics that interest you.

 Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end -

 There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the
 United States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them,
 attachments can be a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting
 almost a half hour for a message with an attachment to download - and of
 course, on my service, I had no other way to get to other messages until
 that downloaded. For many its not just a matter of what we would like to
 see.

 For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still get
 charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a
 pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a
 matter of trying to include folks.

 I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.

Re: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

[Tessa Keough]

Sherry (and others)

Saw your response and I took a quick look at Legacy's Google+ Page and
Facebook Page. Both seem to be used to advertise the Legacy product
and webinars (nothing wrong with that). Just saying it does not appear
to be set up for or include the give and take that a forum has. Not
sure why as several other Google+ pages have lots of interaction. If
it is because anyone going to the site only sees posts about webinars,
they might consider that this method of communication is a one-way
street.

I get that a company only has so much time to invest in social media
and user forums. I was simply suggesting a method that allowed for
attachments and topic headers without clogging up someone's email
account and/or what some might consider an updated version of a forum.
I also took a look at the site you referenced - Genealogywise. It
appears to be a website with lots of ads and requires membership. That
is not really the same thing as a users' forum. But I did get the gist
of your response - previous discussions have been had, change is not
in the offing. Got it.

Appreciate the webinars and the product. Thanks

 Legacy's Geo defaults are in 4 separate files named Geo*.txt

 These files can be updated by Millennia at any time so *user*
 defaults should not be set in them.  Instead you copy the appropriate

 have your defaults/modifications in GeoCountryCodes-Alt.txt

 When Legacy runs it checks to see if there is a user -Alt file to
 provide the defaults.  If not it uses Millennia's Geo... file with
 the -Alt in the name.

 The change you need to make to your GeoCountryCodes-Alt.txt file is
 near the bottom in the USA section where you should remove the + sign
 prefixing United States.  SNIP

Re: [LegacyUG] Location Notes

[Tessa Keough]

Rita - I don't see that the question was answered yet - so my stab at
it! When you choose the report that you want you have options
(margins, paper size, etc.). In that first screen of options there is
a index button (bottom left hand side) - you open it and get name
index and location index (see tabs at top) for location index one of
your choices is clicking the box for notes. There you go. Not sure
about pictures because I don't link photos. I am sure someone else
might jump in. Cheers

Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports

[Tessa Keough]

Another way I use these reports is print to pdf and then upload to my
itouch (or whatever you might use - phone, tablet, etc.) Very helpful
because I can pull up my to-dos and make notes, takes photos/scans.
The written version works well too but depending on where you are and
what you are doing, sometimes having it all on one of these devices
helps when you get stumped in the area you planned to research or
there are those additional research moments. Between uploading my
Legacy database and my pdfs to-dos to the itouch, I really do have a
lot at my fingertips.

 Since the purpose for me of a ToDo report is a document that I can take with

 space around it is handy for making notes on site, which I can transfer to
 Legacy when it is more convenient.  Much better than a lot of loose notes
 that don't always make sense later.

 Why don't I enter the notes in Legacy as I go?  When I am reading
 microfilms, entering information into my computer is way too awkward.  The
 ToDo report has proved so helpful that I can leave my computer in my hotel

Re: [LegacyUG] Ambiguous/Unisex Names

[Tessa Keough]

And at this point you can leave the sex as a question mark - then as
you learn more (are there school records, marriage records, military
records, etc.) you could back into the sex of the individual. Came
late to the discussion so I don't know your time frame, but depending
on the place and the records, you might be able to work your way
through this. Were there later censuses. Apologies if this has already
been addressed by others.

 Definitive ?
 How can you trust any names offered without _Research_. What a shame it
 would be to my ancestors/Descendants to go off what is ?, what ?, who
 knows ? Like Geoff always say's, Genealogy without sources is nothing
 but hearsay and or mythology.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Users Near Olympia, WA

[Tessa Keough]

Legacy Users:
We have a Legacy Virtual Users' Group and meet monthly in a Google+
hangout on air - because lots of us either are not near where there
are local groups and/or some of us travel or can't get away for more
than the 60-90 minutes. We have a LVUG website that has previous
meeting slide presentations (with speaker notes) as well as a LVUG
page on Google+. Please think about attending a meeting and see if
meeting virtually to share and learn more about Legacy might work for
you. Since I don't think we can add links here just do a search in
Google+ and the Page will direct you to the website.

Re: [LegacyUG] New version problem

I believe that is where it has always been - note that if you add
cause of death to your individual information it will also show up in
the family view as one of your five choices - that one is up to you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webinar

[Tessa Keough]

The interesting thing I learned when I posted in the Google+ Stream
yesterday after the webinar is that Marian does not use Legacy to any
great extent - I don't know if it is because she does research for
clients or if she is in process of changing programs BUT I also wanted
to know how you incorporate the types of forms she uses with Legacy,
how you make sure you are not doing lots of double entries, and how
you keep track of all those research documents/forms in your filing
system (be it paper based or computer based) and how you note it in
Legacy.
That was the question I asked in my post and while I liked the look of
her forms and definitely see their use - I do write up research plans
- how do we incorporate with to-dos, and where do you take it from
there. One thing I wish we had in Legacy in the ability to place in a
Research Manager (similar to RootsMagic). I realize that Geoff plans
to do a webinar about using To-Dos so I hope it incorporates how to
reuse Marian's forms in his presentation. In the meantime, what do
others do?

 Marian's template for tracking the web browsing was OK and I use something
 similar but in Excel. Mine is quick  dirty. I cut and paste the URL for
 each site and make notes as appropriate. I have columns for  date,  name,
 item of interest, URL, found Y/N, and comments.  If you find something of
 interest, just save a copy in appropriate format, text, photo, etc. Then you
 can hyperlink to the saved file. You can have it plain or fancy and add
 additional columns as needed.

 This works (when I remember to do it) and pasting is quick and accuraate.

Re: [LegacyUG] Shared Events?

[Tessa Keough]

My understanding of shared events is that it is an easier way of
attaching events/facts to people - for instance the census entry - you
just click on who to add it to rather than using the copy and paste
clipboard method. Someone correct me if I am wrong please.
