Legacy LVUG Community

I've been trying to organize my files using JL Beeken MRIN system. On my paternal grandfather's side, I have 12 8th-great-grandparents, some of which are maternal x-great-grandparents. Problems (1) I follow maternal lines as well as paternal lines. Don't know how to set up those file folders to save birth, marriage, death records. (2) I have (x)great-grandparents who are 7th if you follow one line and 6th if you follow another. How in the world do I set up those file folders?

Anyone know how to get nicknames to print in reports? I only get the 'main' name.

Sorry if this is a duplicate question - I just can't find anything about it. When I find a record on FamilySearch.org, it has a wonderful "Citing This Record" at the bottom. I have no idea how to put that into Legacy sources. I've attached a photo of one of the records for reference. Thanks!

Has anyone else done the Ancestry DNA?  I did and I'm not sure what to do with some of the results.   The DNA test shows that I have 2 potential ancestors that are not in my family tree.  Locations are good and I have multiple DNA matches with their descendants - but I have never seen these names in my research. All advice is more than welcomed!

I've lost where you can remove baptism/christening from the main data entry screen.  Help please!

What do you do with personal stories and memories?  In a couple of my branches, I have very personal stories and reflections about people. Example:  "Opal was high strung, nervous and emotional.  The restrained and disciplined Eblen family culture and temperment would not have prepared Dad to understand such behavior."  This marriage ended in divorce.   Where do I record these things?  Even though the people are deceased, I somehow feel like I'm invading their privacy.   I know that there are people who would love to have these personal insights into someone in their tree - but I really don't know how to handle it. Help!

Having a few issues so I'll put them in 2 posts. I imported and cleaned up a FTM file - manually deleted every "Record Changed" event.  They were showing up as problems.    When I run a possible problems report, it is clean.  When I try to delete that event definition, it shows all the same people still using it. I ran  Descendant book and all of the Record Changed events are showing up.  I revisited each person and there are no Record Changed events.  How can I get this to go away?  Thanks!

First an explanation.  My system......The File ID on a Source is level 1.  Examples:  CNS (Census), MLT (Military), MAR (Marriage), etc.  On each detail record attached to that Source, I expand the File ID.  Examples:  CNS 0001, CNS 0002, MTL 0001, MAR 0001, MAR 0002, etc.  This allows me to file any document by number, both in the Legacy media file and in acid-free sleeves in binders.  I can find anything very quickly! Now my question.....I need to create a report that gives me the Source, SourceID, Detail ID and Name associated to that Detail ID.  Does anyone know how to get that kind of report?

Here are the screen shots of what I did for my dad's honorable discharge.  I think you have to click on each to see the total picture.

For those of us in the USA who have had family members in the military, you know how vital discharge papers are - especially when you have to come up with them for various reasons. There are no source templates in Legacy for Honorable Discharge in the USA.  Sorry, but this really bothers me.  There are register templates and discharges from other countries, but not for the USA.  OK - now that I have vented............. Does anyone have a method they have used to source 'Honorable Discharge' papers?  I have several that I need to document. Thanks!

Does anyone have a method to enter Swedish Church Records?  I use Ancestry and ArkivDigital.  I wish there were templates like for England and Wales!

So happy to find this group.  I've been working on my genealogy for about 5 years, love Legacy Family Tree Software and want to use it to the max!  Hoping to learn from you and contribute when I can. I got hooked on genealogy when visiting the Swedish museum in Minneapolis.  I felt like - these are my people and I know nothing about them.  Made me feel a little lost.  What a journey I started!
