You are seeing the two colour boxes because Legacy 8 now allows you to set two starting people for the ancestor colours. When a person is in both lines they will have two colours in their box. The pale colour is for the ancestors of the first person, the darker colour is for the ancestors of the second. If you set both groups to start at the same person then everyone with a coloured box will have two colours.
Go to Tools > Set Ancestor Colours Select the Ancestor Group 2 tab Click Clear all Group to colours That will remove the second set of colours on your boxes. Select the Ancestor Group 1 Tab Set the starting person you want to use for the ancestor colours if his/her name is not already shown Select track four grandparents option Click apply the Group 1 Colours To reset to the default ancestor colours Click the Edit Colours button Click the Reset button and choose Reset to Legacy defaults Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com On 14/03/2014 10:08 AM, Sentz wrote: > I was checking out the various ancestor colors and testing what they > would look like in the pedigree chart.
