Peggy, Based on what I've read here over the years, whenever one of us who does a lot of research in the US starts talking about trying to fit US locations into the "4" mold, and may or may not mention a non-US example, someone from outside the US will comment in this fashion. Nothing against them! But, don't worry about it. Based on what I've read of your posts, you are trying to stick with the "4" plan for US locations, and then you plan to enter into the non-US realm with an open mind about how those locations may or may not "fit." I think you will do fine. ;)
On the other hand, I don't think you will be able to totally avoid any re-work. It's the nature of the Legacy program that you are not going to find out everything it can do for you until you are well into using the program. The best advice I've seen (and given, if I may say so!) here is to enter a couple of items one way and see how it turns out in various outputs; then try it another way & check output; etc, until you see what you like. Then forge ahead! Also, please note that when I began I used the "book" reports almost exclusively, so only checked how things looked in those. In the past year or so, I've tried to get more organized, and now I used the FGR the most. So, when you're testing, try even a couple of the "mainline" reports, even if you have never used them before. --Paula <snip> Who is trying to impose it on the rest of the world? Legacy? The Family Search People? That's why I'm confused. Who are these "powers" who are making the decisions? And why does it matter? What effect will today's choices of entry, 4 or 9 or whatever, have on us later on? <snip> Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
