This feature doesn't seem to be working for me. What could I be doing wrong. I'm running Legacy Deluxe, the version just before the latest update.

Hi Gordon, This is a person who is not in your direct line, so he/she will not have the color-coding showing which of your grandparents' lines they belong to. If you don't have your direct ancestry color-coded, Legacy has the following instructions in Help file: Legacy has incorporated color-coding based on a system developed by Mary E.V. Hill, A.G. that is taught at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Adding color-coding to your organizational system helps keep your ancestral lines straight and promotes effective genealogy research. Color-code your pedigree by the lineages of your four grandparents. All the ancestors of one grandparent will be organized under the same color: Grandfather's lineage on your father's side: BLUE Grandmother's lineage on your father's side: GREEN Grandfather's lineage on your mother's side: RED Grandmother's lineage on your mother's side: YELLOW To set these colors in Legacy: 1. Navigate to the starting person in your family file. This is usually yourself. 2. Choose Apply Ancestor Colors from the Tools menu. 3. Click Apply Color Coding. Legacy runs through all your direct-line ancestors and marks them for the correct color code. The second step in this process is to turn on the displaying of the colors as you navigate in your family file. To do this: 1. Choose Options > Customize and click on the View tab. 2. Mark the checkbox title Display custom generation line colors on screen. Now, as you move around in your file, colored boxes appear on the Family and Pedigree View indicating the line you are viewing. -------------------------- This is one of my favorite features.
