You can also create an Event Report. Just tag the individuals you want to
include, and make a report for the tagged individuals for Residence events.
Use "Options" to select the data you want to include, e.g. Date, Place.
Hope this helps.

Mike:
I believe you can accomplish the migration patterns for an individual
using
Legacy as follows:
1. Place a Resident event for the individual for each resident location,
e.g., at college, 1st job, 2nd job, etc -- I have about 15 resident events
for myself for each location that I have lived at - be sure to include the
city, county, state, country location in the resident event
2. Then View the Chronology Tab and it will display the time history of a
person very nicely -- this provides a 1 or 2 page summary of a persons
life
3. You can also map an individual and it will map all of these resident
event locations during the persons life.
When I 1st started using Legacy, I didn't use event, but I now place
Census
events, resident events, and others for each person so I can use the
Chronology reporting capability and the mapping capability.
Try this for yourself in your database, you might like it.

Thanks for responding. My main point was that there is no single place
in
Legacy that deals with migration patterns of ancestors. I believe that
this
information is very important if someone wants to understand such issues.
Therefore, having a complete history of locations and addresses of
individuals throughout their lifetime (in one place) can be created
through
an "broad" Event, such as Residence History. In one "click" on your
mouse
or in a print out of an individual's genealogy data, you can see
"at-a-glance" the most important information summarize appropriately.
You
can then compare such migration information to other family members, etc.
Patterns will emerge that will enable you to write a great family story.
It would be great if Legacy could develop a migration capability so that
we
all could see a migration pattern plotting chart. It would be also
interesting to overlay one individual's migration pattern on to other
family
members information. Hence, one could view a complete family's migration
history. Any thoughts?
