    3. Ok, entering all the data twice isn't something I would want to do. ;) But it would work. I don't have an iPad or iPhone etc. so I don't think I can use GEDview...

    3. Cheri, You've given great instructions for minimizing the amount of work one has to do to avoid the issues caused by shared facts.  For those of us used to Legacy, however, where there is not just the equivalent of a Source Memorize button but a Fact Memorize button (copies an entire fact/event with its notes and its sources to the clipboard with one click), it seems like too many steps. I'm not complaining about RM, just hoping for the enhancement. On the Legacy list, they've been known to ask for a Shared Fact/Event, so I guess nobody can have it all;-) Connie

    3. Well, I don't but that is my interpretation of a workaround that Laura came up with. As to a shared-to-unshared conversion tool, I believe that the iPad app GEDview does that on its opening of a GEDCOM from RM. If it does it well, that might be a solution for some.

    3. I'm trying to make sure I understand what you mean. With a census as an example, do you mean you would create a census fact for the head of the house, then share it with everyone listed adding their custom census notes. Then you would also go to each person and make an individual census fact with the same info?

    3. I've been using shared facts for just about everything from census to baptism sponsors. I used them because it saves me so much time entering records over for each person. Especially with large family's and census data! I have to say I love this feature, but I didn't realize that they didn't show up in the research report. :-( I hope that will be fixed soon! I've also been hoping for some time that a conversion tool will be made that can convert the shared facts to individual facts when you export a gedcom.

    1. Re: [RMagic] Shared Facts
    2. Connie are you on the forum? Laura has put sentence templates in RM 5 forum in Tips and Hints showing how shared items can be used. If I want to share a fact, then I can make it a family fact and not a personal one. Can do that in the Menu/Lists/Fact list and create a new fact same like Residence (family) and is labeled family. Census(family) is only for spouse additions. That is how some of us use the shared fact. I do not set up the other style of Shared Event for the very reason that Tom mentioned.

By adding the RM ID, I can search my photo collection by that number and return all the results I have for that person. It also unique identifies all of those John Smith type names that might be confusing for future generations to figure out who you were talking about. - add additional metadata know about the picture including sequence individuals appear in the photo Protect the original - when enhancing/restoring a photo, I make a copy to perform the changes to keeping the original (P000001-a-enhanced.tif) - I always keep the original scan untouched (I turn all of the auto everything off when scanning) - I place the original photo in an acid free photo sleeve (about $.05 USD each). They have standard 4x6, 5x7, and then full 8.5x11 sheets I use. - Label the acid free photo sleeve with the serialized number in a consistent spot, making it easy to store the sleeves in photo boxes and flip through them to find the original you're looking for by number. Create service copies - the original files can be anywhere from 20-200MB each in TIF format. So creating a service copy at a lower resolution in JPG format allows you to share them and use them in programs more easily. The keyword tagging automatically is included in copies as long as you tag the TIF original first before making a service copy. "P000001-copy.tif or P000001-enhanced-copy.tif" Tools - Adobe PhotoShop Elements for scanning, cropping, batch saving - Bulk rename (to rename a group of files - best renaming utility I've seen and it's free) http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php - Adobe Lightroom: you can use Windows to manage your photos, but the thumbnail caching it does and the limited access it gives you to applying keywords and other metadata isn't quite enough for my needs. Lightroom also makes quick work for standard enhancements to photos. You can also generate a collection of photos that include an individual very easily and even autoformat them into handsome photo books you can print via an online service for a reasonable price. - Adobe PhotoShop full version is really only needed if you're doing all out photo restoration or want o use the Adobe Bridge software to manage the metadata of each photo.

Given that the Research Notes report is the primary reason I switched to RM, and combined with the issues with GEDCOM, I will probably need to cease using Shared Facts. I don't use family facts for things like census because I don't like where they appear in reports.

    3. Hello Jinny When I was in the Christian book trade those little cards were commonly called 'pocket cards'. There are many manufacturers, some of whom name their product with fanciful names, so 'pocket cards' is the overall name that covers all brands andvarieties. And, yes, very popular and useful for any number of friendly purposes for children or adults.

    3. Do you think it is worth using 600 dpi for the photos? Negatives, maybe, but there is a finite amount of info, and I settle on 300 dpi save to tiff files so there is no information loss. I have the Epson V750 and have been prescanning and then adjusting the histogram to the end points of the data for the most part. Some back I have changed so that they scan a little lighter and the writing is a little more legible. Good tip about numbering the images on the back. It would definitely facilitate retrieval of the original. I'll get my handy dandy archival pencil out and number these and go back and add the numbers to the metadata or rescan the backs.

And when we had collected about 50 of those small cards, we could exchange them at Sunday School for a New Testament. We could also get those cards for reciting in our class chapters from the New Testament or any good poetry. My brother Parley and I put our tickets together and each got a Testament. Our sister Louisa, who was married and lived in Washington, Dixie, was visiting at home during the winter of 1869 and 70, so we decided we would put our Sunday School tickets together and get her a Testament for a present. We worked hard. I recited all the poems I could think of and chapters in the Bible. One morning I recited the 16th chapter of Mark. I repeated the names of both the Ancient and Modern Twelve Apostles and was still lacking a few tickets to get the Testament. I told my troubles to my teacher and she said "Can't you think of just one more poem to recite; it would likely be enough." I told her I had one more, but maybe she wouldn't like me to recite it to the class. She said "Oh go right ahead and recite it." So I recited the following: Oh may that cursed Jeff Davis float In open sea, in open boat, To islands cold without a coat, Glory hallelujah Without a compass, sail or oar, A million miles away from shore. Where mighty waves like mountains roar, Glory hallelujah Without a paddle, wheel or stern Where sharks e'er wait at every turn, May the devil take the whole concern, Glory hallelujah. It was enough. The teacher, suppressing smiles while others giggled, handed me the needed tickets and, after the closing prayer, I walked home with the New Testament." -- -- -- --Ô¿Ô-- K e V i N

It is not a big deal to change them or at least I don't think so at this point. Scanning is slow as I am doing previews, resizing the image, and then adjusting the grey scale histogram, and then rescanning for final. Input please. Thanks so much. I know we are all in our little houses at these keyboards going through the same decisions. Group think really helps sometimes! Jinny Angelis

    1. [RMagic] Scanning some little cards
    2. Jinny Angelis
    3. I have some small cards that are about 1 1/2" x 2 1/2". They have little pleasant sayings on them. No hearts, so I would not say valentines. Any thought on what they might have been called? Looks like they were exchanged between people, perhaps in Sunday School, perhaps for other places. Jinny Angelis

    3. I have not used shared facts except in the very beginning. I thought they might make the census info easier to input. BUT based on feedback, I stopped using it. What are people using it for that they think it works well for?
