Perhaps you should add the number in quotes after the surname, as in Glasscock "5". Legacy will argue with you about this but you can override the argument and the Surnames will sort in lists by the number. I believe it will show up on reports also.
Bobby From: Syble Glasscock [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 6:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Adding numbers to names I have a book that I use as a source many times in my family history, the author researched all of our family surname in a particular state from 1750 to 1860. He has a identifying number on each person. There are so many duplicate names, I use this number often as I research this book and add information to my Legacy file. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could add this number for the corresponding person in my Legacy files? It would be so helpful if I could see at a glance that I'm adding information on the correct person.
