Legacy LVUG Community

(1) you might be going away for the holiday - that could be July 1st for Canada Day or July 4th for USA Independence Day . If so be sure to back up your Legacy data before you leave town (or just back it up no matter what!). And this means both your family files and media as well as your user files. Save yourself the aggravation and back up. (2) if you are new to our LVUG Community -* welcome*! Please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your use of Legacy (which version, how long, and any questions, or tips and suggestions). We love questions or slight frustrations - often they are the subject of future Tuesday's Tips! Thanks (3) are you planning your summer continuing education ? Be sure to check out the_ Legacy Webinar series_ and the GeneaWebinars calendar. Be thoughtful and don't take on too much, but there must be something you want to learn more about. Why not check them out. Thanks to Pat Richley-Erickson aka DearMYRTLE for keeping the calendar up! ...

I have numerous years of newspapers from Marshall County Kansas.  I have inputted the year 1948 two different ways.  1. Newspaper Article as the event. Date 22 April 1948 (date of newspaper) and place - Wetmore, Nemaha, Kansas. Leaving the description blank and putting this Mr. and Mrs. Fred Claycamp were in Wetmore Sunday visiting at the home of his brother, George Claycamp. in the notes section. 2. visit as the event Date 22 April 1948 and place - Wetmore, Nemaha, Kansas. Leaving the description blank and putting this Mr. and Mrs. Fred Claycamp were in Wetmore Sunday visiting at the home of his brother, George Claycamp. in the notes section. I just learned I need to put the sentence in the description so it will show up in the family report.   As I start a new year, I am trying to figure out if the event should be newspaper article or what the event was - dinner, visit, PTA meeting.   The source is the newspaper date, volume, page and...

Can I import a list of citations/repository from program like EndNote into Legacy 8?

I just added a Birth Certificate and set up a new master source for it.  Question - should I attach a scanned photo of the BC to the source record or detail record?

Tuesday's Tip - The question came up in a couple of places about how to find a married woman in your Legacy family file when you don't know her maiden surname. We show you three ways of getting to the family file,  as well as a little bookmark bonus at the end of the video. If you have another way, why not share it below in the comments section. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUTdhKsMFXY

Hi from Cathy Claycamp.  I'm a "South Jersey Girl" at heart even though my husband and I live in western North Carolina now. I started genealogy many years ago as a teen.  I was able to trace my Gerlach line to Hans Gerlach born about 1569 probably in Mörfelden. Germany. He married Maria Jung.  They raised their family in Raunheim, Germany (yes I know it wasn't Germany at that time). My great great grandfather, David Friedrich came to New Jersey about 1856 from Lauffen am Neckar.  Other surnames I'm researching: Claycamp, Farsing,  Magin, Mersinger, Reader, Shoemaker, Singleton. I use Legacy deluxe edition.  My goal for this year is to learn how to use the program better.  I attended Tessa's webinar 10 Tips for Using Legacy with Specialized Studies (which was excellent) and realized I should join this community as it will be a great way to achieve my goal. It will be funny getting to know you.
