Legacy LVUG Community

Tuesday's Tip - It is not what I promised during our most recent LVUG Hangout (that will come soon but today was a crazy day). In the meantime, why not test your research skills and help out FamilySearch.org by testing their Wiki Usability. I am one of those people willing to try something and give my opinion. Checked out the sites and chose my favorite. And then went on to find the death information for Douglas and Isaac - next to work on marriage records. So far, so good - how about you? https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Testing:_Wiki_Usability

Attaching a Gedcom and DNA to GedMatch. Is there a way to not showing living people but still show me in the Gedcom.

I have found many mistakes in original sources lately and am curious if others have experienced the same thing. The latest find was yesterday when I found a birth record for a great uncle on Ancestry.  The person who recorded the births for the town added no given names to the children born. They are all listed with their surnames only. The record has the birth date and the parents names for each child except in my great uncle's case the names of the parents are incorrect. The names given are Daniel and Sarah when his parents first names were Dan and Emma. I can understand the Daniel but Sarah? The town they lived in was tiny that the 1900 census is only 3 images. I recently took photos of records from a church record and one of the above named sisters has an aunt and uncle listed as her parents in that record.  Other church records give the correct parents for both her and her brother mentioned above. I knew these people quite well.  The great aunt lived over the ro...

Is anyone else having a problem watching the archive of the Illinois webinar by Thomas MacEntee that was this Wednesday?  I tried 3x yesterday and 3x today and it only loads the first 10 minutes.  Thanks.

I just got the new version of Legacy a few months ago and have been happily entering my data into it.  Just started to enter pics into the Media Gallery and I'm having problems.  It's extremely slow when I try to scroll through to find a picture, flickers, and after just a few pictures it crashes the computer loosing the pics that I just put on.  I have used Family Tree Maker for years and have never had any problem with my pictures there.    I love Legacy 8 Deluxe but I have to have the pictures.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try so that I don't have to go back to Family Tree Maker?  Does it not like Windows 8?  Is there a setting I just don't know about?

We have pulled some questions from the forum and our Community - where Legacy users have asked "how do I do xxxxx?" and we are going to discuss our approach. Remember there is not one way - so we want you to join in and give your suggestions! Then we will discuss how we use e-learning opportunities. Are we making the best use of our time and effort AND what can we do to get more out of the variety of e-learning opportunities. Our LVUG hangout is this Thursday at 1:00 pm (pacific time) that is  1:00 pm pacific time USA  2:00 pm mountain time USA  3:00 pm central time USA  4:00 pm eastern time USA And why not check out www.worldtimebuddy.com to find the timezone of interest to you. Know that Google puts the hangout invitation in your computer's timezone. You can JOIN the hangout (we have room for 10 JOINers) or VIEW at the Community Event (just click on the arrow once we start the broadcast) or over on my YouTube Channel. If you can't make it l...
