Claire,
I've done it... but not in Legacy.
I use Ancestry's Personal member tree and then enter "stories" in log form to
track "To Do" stuff. I enter the entire name as the given name and
"Research-Logg" as the surname. I don't link individuals to each other. Then
when all the to-dos are complete I transfer what I have into Legacy. Works a
treat!

Subject: [LegacyUG] To-Do List as Research Log
I would like to better utilize the To-Do list as a Research Log, but can’t
quite figure out how. Example: I’m trying to prove that ancestor Basil is
actually the ancestor Paul I was searching for. My To-Do entries include
several types of searches for a marriage record, his son’s Social Security
Application for a possible wife’s name, etc. etc. How can this be put together
into a coherent log that would show my thought process? I, unfortunately, tend
to put my research aside for weeks at a time and would like to be able to print
out something that would show me immediately what I was doing and why. The
“blank” research log would work if I didn’t have to handwrite it – I’m
definitely more comfortable with a computerized output. I’ve basically given
up on being able to replicate that form through the To-Do list options since I
can’t come up with a way of creating the list in “log” form. I’ve thought of
creating a new
“category” named “Basil/Paul,” but, since this won’t be the only log I’m
creating, that could get a little unwieldy. Then I though of using a unique
task name such as starting it with Basil/Paul, but couldn’t figure out how to
filter that to print. There’s only one tag option and I use that for something
else.
Has anyone successfully done this?
Claire
