Ron,
What you say is true, and I have no problem with the Chronology Report for
my ancestor born in 1863 showing the 1861 event of Abraham Lincoln becoming
the president - 2 years before my ancestors birth. That places my ancestor
in a "time" that most of us have a feel for.
However, that same report also goes back to 1817 to show the Indian Wars, 47
years BEFORE my ancestors birth. Doesn't relate well to trying to visualize
the period of time in which my ancestor lived.
What make it even worse is in that timeline file of US Wars, there is
provision made to tag which wars you wish to include on the report. The
Indian Wars were "minor" to identify any of my ancestors and thus are NOT
tagged and should be excluded from the Chronology Report since I have ticked
the box to "Only include tagged events from this timeline".
Unless there is a check box somewhere else in the "Options > Customize"
section of the program that I have not yet found, this report seems not to
be working as "promised".
Jim

Jim,
If I understand the timelines correctly they detail events which happened
or are happening during a persons life time from the start date of that
event. Thus, the king who is on the throne at the time of birth is shown
as the date he ascended to the throne, similarly for presidents, ongoing
wars etc.
This is quite different from inventions which happened once on a certain
date.

Thanks for the response Georgia,
I'm guessing from what you say, that it is not just me.
I don't think that the timeline files are an "all or nothing" deal. The
Inventions timeline file seems to work, i.e. ONLY the tagged inventions
appear on the Chronology Report.
Too bad that the timeline files for US Presidents and US Wars don't work
as they really mark a period in time that we can instantly associate our
ancestors with.
This make the third consecutive year that a report I wished to print for a
June reunion is not available. It seems Legacy will never get above a C-
grade for reports and charts :(

I, too, have encountered this same problem. I have tried adding the US
Wars to an individual's timeline and have checked "Limit events to the
lifetime of the individual" but I still get wars that occurred before the
individual was born. I am also using the latest version but have been
noticing this problem for some time. Are these timelines really "all or
nothing"?
Georgia
I seem to have a problem when adding Timelines to Chronology Reports.
With US Presidents timeline selected and ALL presidents except
Abraham Lincoln tagged, and with "Only include tagged events from this
timeline" ticked, Mr Lincoln is still included on the Chronology Tab as
well as in the Report.
The same problem exists with the Timeline for US Wars. With ONLY
Civil War tagged and with "Only include tagged events from this timeline"
ticked, ALL wars during the period of the Chronology Report are still
listed.
Can you suggest any "tick boxes" or "tags" that I may have missed?...
or, is this a possible problem with the Legacy program?
I'm using the latest deluxe V 6.0.0.133.
thanks, Jim
