No, but from what I have read in past post Legacy is supposed to take parents vital dates in consideration when calculating "the dead".

There is one when you go to Options>Customize Tab-Data Entry, in the box 'Presumed Dead'. I'm not sure this is working correctly as I have a database of 7,000 and after doing an advanced search Legacy says that over 5,000 are marked as living .I may not have death dates for that many but they certainly are not all living.

Evert 2009/10/9 Kramer <kramer...@comcast.net> Michele, go to Tools>Advanced Set Living. It will mark everyone who could possibly be dead as dead depending on what you have set such as the 120 years. Legacy marks it already so you don't have to go through all the trouble.

If someone married in 1821 there is no way they could be alive but Legacy is marking them as living unless I manually kill them off. I have tagged everyone in my file that is marked as living that doesn't have a birth date and I am killing them off one at a time. I only have 2000 more to check! Maybe Legacy can add some additional parameters for automatically killing people off. If a person was married 100 years ago or more he is probably dead. If his mother died over 100 years ago he is probably dead etc. The problem is that my uploaded file on the internet has 1/3 of the people marked as living so my file isn't very helpful to anyone. michele ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eileen" <reilee...@yahoo.com> To: <LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:53 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Master l Source is messing up Well I just hate to write again about anything to do with Legacy, I have not done anymore updates for fear of some unknown happening. I'm on version 7.0.090 and have used the program since version 4. I have been updating all my families with their 1850 census, I go to the Master Source List, go to Source, open the file and go down the list checking everything that shows it has a 1850 census. Ask it to show me the list, to make sure all are checked with a number 2, close it and go to the next one. I have come on a group under Indiana, Clay Co., Van Buren Twp., - 1850 and the next on the list is the same everything except it's a 1860. These two list has 18 people, All eighteen have both the 1850 census and the 1860 census. All of the people on both these lists have 1850 census and 1860 census on their family screens, all information shows correct, all sources show correct, but on the Master list, only half of them (11) show on 1850 list and (7) show on the 1860. So I went through all the 1860 deleted the old 1860 from the Events list, re-added it and everything on my Master Source list finally showed up just right, all on both the 1850 & 1860 lists. Shut the program down, since I was almost sick thinking of all I was going to have to change when I finally felt up to it. Some hours have gone bye, open up the program, went right to the Master Source and guess what half is on the 1850 and half are on the 1860. Right back to where they were before all the work deleting and adding the census again. What in the world is happening? Can I sent attachments so you can look at the papers I printed out? It might help you understand what I'm writing. I know I don't seem to be able to explain things clearly so staff can understand what I telling them. But this is a mess and I afraid to check anymore files but know that there are more errors.
