Find Your Roots in German Farm Histories - free webinar by Gail Blankenau now online for limited time

2018-02-28-image500blog

The recording of today's webinar, "Find Your Roots in German Farm Histories” by Gail Blankenau is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free for a limited time.

Webinar Description

Until the early 1900s, the majority of the population in the Germanic states was engaged in agriculture. Thus, most of us with Germanic heritage will have at least some ancestors engaged in farming. German farm customs were different from those in America and German farmers were tied to their land in ways that American farmers were not. Particularly in the earlier years, the history of your family's farm was integral to the history of your family.

Tuesday's Tip - Internet Search Strings (Advanced)

Internet Search Strings

Tuesday's Tips provide brief how-to's to help you learn to use the Legacy Family Tree software with new tricks and techniques.

Internet Search Strings (Advanced)

Judy, one of our more experienced Legacy users, wrote this:

"For those of us who tinker with the search strings for various websites, could there be a place on the Legacy website that would have the "original" strings as supplied with the program for us to download or copy to repair the mess "we" have made and are unable to correct?"

We don't have this as a download but the information is readily available.

1) With Legacy closed, go to the \Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder and open it. Rename your iSearch folder to iSearchX

2) Open Legacy and go to Search > Search Internet. Don't do anything. Just close the dialog box again. 

3) Now go back to the \Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData folder and open it. You will notice that you now have an iSearch and an iSearchX folder.  Rename the iSearch folder to iSearch ORIGINAL and then rename iSearchX to iSearch.

What you have done is created a clean copy of the folder with the original strings (now iSearch ORIGINAL) which will leave any changes that you have already made still in place (now iSearch).

Open the iSearch ORIGINAL folder. You can open any of these files with Windows Notepad. You will see the original search strings (both lines). If you ever get into a bind you can open this file and copy and paste what you need.

 
If this is something you are interested in trying out yourself, go to Search > Search Internet > Customize Searches. Highlight the search you want to work with and click Edit. Now click the Help button on this screen for detailed instructions.

Find tech tips every day in the Facebook Legacy User Group. The group is free and is available to anyone with a Facebook account.

For video tech tips check out the Legacy Quick Tips page.  These short videos will make it easy for you to learn all sort of fun and interesting ways to look at your genealogy research.

Michele Simmons Lewis, CG® is part of the Legacy Family Tree team at MyHeritage. She handles the enhancement suggestions that come in from our users as well as writing for Legacy News. You can usually find her hanging out on the Legacy User Group Facebook page answering questions and posting tips.

Legacy 101 - Sharing Your Data with Others

Legacy has many reports and charts you can use to share data with other researchers or your family members but there are also some other ways.

You can upload a gedcom to one of the "tree" websites such as MyHeritage. You can see the instruction on how to create a gedcom HERE. Once you have created your gedcom you can follow the instructions HERE on how to upload to MyHeritage. If you are using one of the other tree sites they will have instructions available to you.

You can also create webpages in Legacy and then upload them to your own website. To be able to do this, you will need your own web space. If the hosting company does not have a way for you to upload your webpages then you will also need one of the free FTP clients. We use and recommend FileZilla. Legacy makes creating webpages easy. The screens and options work very similarly to creating reports. On the main toolbar click the Internet tab and you will see the different styles of webpages you can create.

Different webpages styles
(click image to enlarge)

You can see that the Web Page Creation screen looks similar to reports. You will find all of the options by selecting the different tabs at the top. Don't forget the Privacy Options button over on the right.

Web Page Creation page
(click image to enlarge)

Legacy will do all of the work for you but if you are familiar with HTML you can easily edit the created pages in a text editor. You can read more about webpages by clicking the Help button on this screen.

There is one really nifty thing you can do with webpages that many users don't know. When you create your webpages all of the pages and images will be in a single file in the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Web\ folder (or location of your choice).  You can zip that folder and then send it to a family member. To zip it, right click the folder and select Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder. You can then send that zip file to your family. It might be too big to send by email so I recommend you park it on cloud storage such as OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive and send your family a link to download it. After your family member downloads it to their hard drive all they have to do is find the Index.html (or Index.htm) file inside and double click to open it. It will open in their web browser. All of the hyperlinks are internal so they will work. They will be able to view it just like if it was a real webpage online.

Another way to share your data with someone is to send them a gedcom of your file. They will be able to open the gedcom in whichever genealogy program they use. However, most family members don't have a genealogy program. You can have them download the free Legacy Standard Edition and then instead of sending them a gedcom file you will send them a backup file. You can send them your data file only or you can send them your media backup as well. You can point them to these directions, Tips for Restoring Files and How to Restore Media Files.

Legacy gives you many different options to share your data with other researchers and with interested family members.

Using Swedish Taxation Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems - free BCG webinar by Jill Morelli, CG now online for limited time

2018-02-20-image500blog

The recording of tonight's webinar by the Board for Certification of Genealogists, "Using Swedish Taxation Records to Solve Tough Genealogical Problems” by Jill Morelli, CG is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com/BCG for free for a limited time.

Webinar Description

Swedish taxation records, a head tax of individuals between the ages of 15 and 63, are some of the oldest extant records of the rural farmer. Genealogists quickly become familiar with the chronological birth/marriage/death parish records (Ministerial), the clerical surveys (Husförhör) and probate records (Bouppteckning). These documents form the bedrock of investigation into our Swedish past. These records may not, however, answer our more difficult research questions, especially those of the 18th century. This is where Swedish taxation records or mantalslängder may be of help. These little used records, but evidence rich documents, may corroborate or dispute our existing evidence, or may be the only source of evidence. We will learn how to access, read and use these records to answer those questions.

View the Recording at FamilyTreeWebinars.com
