I know this isn't the kind of thing Legacy is set up for, but I was sort of hoping there might be some "back door" way of doing it!
Oh well..... Yes, I know how to do it with a spreadsheet, and have done it with Word Perfect before. I just don't WANT to do it again, since I'd have to re-type all those names that are already in Legacy. Thanks Ron.

Kent, I don't know a way of doing that in Legacy and I suspect you would need at least a spreadsheet to do it rather than I would processor (although I have not thought that through). The free database which I will be putting on my fergys.co website at the end of this month will do it.

Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:59:52 -0700 Is there any kind of report (file) Legacy can make that will show simple line items, such as: Kent Myrick House of David E-mail address I need to be able to sort the file. I can do it in a word processor file, but it would really simplify things for me if Legacy can do it somehow. Why? Several years ago we had a Frazier family reunion. Our immigrant ancestor had 7 children, and just for fun, we divided the group up by their names, e.g. "House of David", "House of Isaac" and so on. We had name tags and a hand-drawn chart showing each House and the members of each who were at the reunion. It turned out to be a fun way of creating smaller groups of closer relatives, and we photographed each House separately. We kept lists of each House by hand back then, but all have since been lost and re-creating them is a labor I'd rather not take on again. BUT all those people are in my Legacy file, and if I could somehow permanently note them in a file, I'd be ecstatic. I know there's one way to do it with the Address File. There are already blanks for name and e-mail address, and I could put the House in any of the other fields that I don't need. But there's no way to sort that list and print it out except by using the Name Tag function, which doesn't do what I need. Or is there???? And I don't want to use the Tags because they're not permanent markers. Is there any other way?
