Carolyn, This may be a solution to your puzzle. When you were typing surnames into the data, perhaps you inadvertently typed a full stop after the surname of some individuals. Then with the "auto-complete" feature of Legacy in action, when you entered another new person, who had the same surname as the individual with the full stop, Legacy filled in the name without any further typing from you. And of course, it had the "full stop" which you probably didn't notice. What I suggest you do is you run VIEW|MASTER LISTS|SURNAMES. Then scan down the list and see who has "full stops" after their name. Also check to see if you do have a repeat of the same surname WITHOUT the fullstop. If there are "full stops" showing after names in this listing, they can only have got there by typing. This list makes no distinction between living and dead, the simple reason being that there would be people with some of the names who would be in both categories. As you said, there is no where in the "Help File" that such a feature is listed as being a method of indicating the "living".
