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!
----- Original Message ---- From: Claire Spinelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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?
