Valerie,
If you add the items you want to Events, you only have to do it once. If
you do it by editing the Chronology Report, you have to do it again next
time you have changes. Always edit in Legacy if that's possible.
The Chronology Report is found under the Options button on the
Chronology View. To access the options for it, choose Display Options
and then the Report Options tab though it is also reflects what you are
choosing to display. You can save it as a PDF from the Preview.
Note you can also add the Chronology Report to an Individual Report or a
Family Group Report.

Thanks for the suggestion of the chronology view. Is it possible to
save it
somehow so I can add other times and places without having to go to the
events

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] How to create a timeline please ?
I think you may be confusing two things because of Legacy's terminology.
A Timeline in Legacy is a list of historical events like US Presidents and
their years of service, or Dates the states were formed. You seem to be
asking for what Legacy calls a Chronology which is a list of the
events in a
person's life.
To see the Chronology for Walter Joseph VAUGHAN select him and simply
click
on the Chronology Tab. Legacy will build the Chronology using the
events you
have added for him so to add dates "at school" add an "at school"
event (or
the Legacy default Education) with the dates. Your "present at" could
probably be implemented by sharing the event from the principal in the
event
with Walter Joseph VAUGHAN as a "witness" or with a role named
"present at".
For example if he was present at the wedding of his cousin you could share
the cousin's marriage with Walter Joseph VAUGHAN to add that event to his
Chronology.

I am needing to create a timeline for John VAUGHAN m 1866 Sandhurst to
Harriett Webb WILLIAMS and their children and in particular to son
Walter Joseph VAUGHAN.
I need to be able to add extra things like dates " at school " or "
present at "
