No it is all families even with nobody direct line. Set on best fit, if it is 5 lines in a column, 3 and 8 are highlighted, if 6 in a column 2, 8 and 13 are highlighted. 2 is highlighted even if there are 3 or 4 only. It only seems to have occurred this last few months. In list view all is

Re: [LegacyUG] creating a Gedcom

Boyd, I have 14 trees in my Family file of 25,617 individuals, however, since I am the only admin on my TNG site there is only one “Tree” on the site that includes all the individuals in my 14 Trees. Tree 1 has 20397 individuals at RIN 1, me. Tree 2 has 40 at RIN 13655, Broad, Eliza Jane.

[LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

Hi, I have a question about staff/servant that are listed as part of a household on a census form. I am looking at a 1910 United States Federal Census that has 2 people listed as part of the household; a cook and a nurse. I do not include these people as part of the household when entering

[LegacyUG] Trimming footer's

Seems like people are forgetting or have not read any of the Etiquette links in the footers or are new. I have been seeing a lot of replies where those footers keep growing and you have to wade to get to the gist of the OP’s message. -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!

Re: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

Steve, I list everyone in that household in the source citation and/or notes. If you are using shared citation they can be added without being added to your database. They may prove to be connected later on or link to someone else. You never know, ie one of my ancestor’s son later married the

RE: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

Hi Steve, It probably depends on why you are researching your family history. My aim is to find out as much information as I can about my forebears, including their living conditions, status, family circumstances and so on. So to me it would be very important to record that they employed

Re: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

I never used to, but I have found over the years that many of my families took on nieces and nephews to be their 'staff', so surprising individuals turned up where I least expected them! Ros On 14/01/2016 00:09, Janet McLeod wrote: > Hi Steve, > > It probably depends on why you are researching

Re: [LegacyUG] Bold lettering

Susan, In the Children Scrolling List/Grid, you can change the size of the columns by dragging the dividing lines and you can customise what you see in the columns (right click on the Headers and choose Customise is one way - perhaps there are others). Is that what you mean? Cathy Susan Anderson

Re: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

I always include them in the transcription of the household. They say so much about the household whether it's family who employed servants or family working as servants. I knew of one for years who was with the family for two censuses and had actually moved with the family. I've since discovered

You can have more than one citation in the Source Clipboard at a time, and apply them all in one action. Go to Options > Customise > 7. Sources > 7.5 Source Clipboard - Capacity and select the option "Allow up to five...". Now you can load more than one citation into the Source Clipboard,a nd

Re: [LegacyUG] Household Staff on Census Forms

I agree, I would enter them in the transcription of the census entry.  When abstracting a record, I feel it's appropriate to leave out certain language (like boilerplate language in a deed), but when transcribing a record, it's not appropriate to selectively edit the material (usually and not

If I'm reading you right, you need to link Alexander and Jessie as husband and wife. Right-click on one of them and select Add... from the menu that pops up, then select the appropriate spouse (husband or wife, depending on who you started with), and then add an existing person and navigate to
