Robert, In point #2 it should read: yellow for mother's mother.

You might have skipped a step. You turned on ancestor color-coding correctly evidently, but let's try this: 1. Go to the person you want the color-coding to begin with. Normally, this is you, but can be anyone. 2. By default, Legacy presets the colors as Blue for father's father, Green for father's mother, Red for mother's father, and yellow for mother's father. If you like those colors, fine, do nothing in this step. However, if you do not like those colors, go to: Options >> Customize >> View tab, and click on "Change" for Ancestor Color Coding. Select the colors you do want, and save. 3. After you do that, one more step. Go back to Options >> Customize >> View tab (where you were before), and check "Display custom generation line colors on screen." At this point, you should be able to go back as far as your database goes. Note that if your GGGrandfather has a sister, she is probably uncolored. She is not a direct line ancestor of yours, so the colors will not be seen. Similarly, your half sister or half brother will not have a color applied to them even if you have the same parent. They are not direct line ancestors. My father's brother's children are not colored. They are not my ancestors! Now, if I could just figure out a way to make my relationship errors *blink* when I make a mistake..... <Just kidding, Sherry> Robert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nancy Bender Sent: 2007-01-08 23:27 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Ancestor Color coding I have the ancestor color coding turned on and it seems to work for the most part, but I just noticed that in following one line back, I get to the 3rd Great-grandparents and the color coding stops for one set of the 3rd great-grandparents. It works for the others. Is this a bug or do I have something set wrong? Thank you. Nancy Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
