Hello, I have always heard that it's best to begin entering data with yourself as #1. I've done this and know it is a practice followed on this list. That said, I recently attended a genealogy conference where the speaker was strongly suggesting that if you have only one child, that child should be entered as #1 and by doing so, a clear picture of both parent's families would result. Has anyone tried this?
I brought up the fact that starting with the child will change the "usual" numbers seen on a pedigree form, but was countered with "Numbers are not important." The fact that I have one child is allowing me to consider this option, but after entering hundreds of names into Legacy, I'd hate to have to start over and I won't do it without the expert advice on this list. Does the speaker's suggestion have merit? Any thoughts? Thanks so much, Lavern Hall ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store. Use coupon code: Legacy2008 at checkout.
