Hi Claire, The To do list can be used as a general List or a an individual list, If you look at the family view of an individual you can enter a to-do for that person - you can enter as many to-do's as you wish and then later print/or view those as you wish/ You can see which ones are open and which you have completed with the results if you enter the information in this section.
If you enter the location in a set format you can also print by this. For example I have ancestry.com as a location and when I have time to do some research I call up all those things that I wish to find on ancestry.com I also have my home town listed as a Locality so when I go to visit my parents I know what I want to find. >From the Legacy home view, you can click on the to do list to view all to do's or you can filter the list to find those that meet your needs. I hope that this helps. Regards Anne 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! 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.
