Tuesday's Tip - 10 Tips for Using Legacy with specialized studies.

-
Because I put lots of work into it and I think these tips are useful whether you are working on your own family history or any type of specialized study, why not check out the Legacy webinar from last Friday - 10 Tips for Using Legacy with Specialized Studies. Then comment below which tip(s) were new to you or if you think I didn't include a really important one!

Also on behalf of our LVUG Community welcome to our newest members - 20 of you have joined since last Friday. If you are new here, please introduce yourself (use the Getting to Know You topic) and why not add an avatar - so we can put a face or an initial or perhaps some creative artwork with a name. Take a few moments to read the Guidelines (just click on that topic) and the About section (over on the right). Thanks so much for joining and we look forward to seeing your tips, suggestions and questions on Legacy.

    What a jam packed webinar. I listened in 2 sessions (had to look after grocery shopping, etc.) and I like the tips on tagging. I know I don't use the feature enough, but I will try to change my ways.

    Congratulations Tessa Keough on a very well thought out and presented webinair.  Review is a good thing.  And I did learn how to change the font style and size.

    Thanks Elizabeth O'Donnell. I have to admit I am a form and substance gal - I want my screens and print outs to look nice and so I really played around in the customization section. I know others who haven't touched it!

    Stacy Goddard Tagging is one of my favorite features of Legacy. I could use 20-30 tags! If you want some more info on tagging, here is a link to a Legacy Support article-

    http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00949/0/Tagging-Advanced-Tagging.html

    It includes a link in the article to a free webinar that talks about searching and tagging.  Those subjects start about 28 minutes into the video.

    I forgot to add for Tessa that I was delighted to see that she has an ancestor named Lancelot. Makes a change from Fred and John.

    Yes it does Stacy Goddard. We have lots of interesting given names - whether from the Irish, Slovenian, Swedish or Norwegian. What is your favorite (and less common) given name from your Legacy family file?

    My father had a sister named Eltheda, we called her Aunt Thel. Either way, she is unique on my family tree, but I would never want to saddle anyone with that name.

    Interesting that I also have a Lancelot in one of my Irish lines.  I bless his mother often.  I can always find them.

    4 am is not the best time to watch a webinar, so I have just finished watching it at a more convenient time here in Sydney.
    Great webinar Tessa.  I started a project that I had put in the difficult basket, I can now see a way to tackle it again thanks to you.
    Just to add to the Lancelot theme ...my late husband's grandfather  was Lancelot Vivian Orchard.  His father gave his children great names including  Alfonso and Orlando as middle names.  I know it was the father because he had two families.  Made me sure I am correct with my conclusions.
    Thanks again Tessa for all the good research and recording tips.

    You are welcome Heather Clarey (and I would not have watched at 4 am either!). I do appreciate that the webinars are recorded and available for free during the following week (nice to fit these in on our own schedules). Oh and what great names!
