Maybe you could create a TO-DO entry for these as the TO-DOs show on the home tab as well.

I'm particularly thinking, though, of relatively recently deceased ancestors. For example, three of my Grandparents died before I was born, and I always seem to forget their Anniversaries. Perhaps it's an Irish cultural thing, or an Irish Catholic thing, but anniversaries of death are quite important things to remember and to mark in some way for us.

Maybe an option for how far back to check the death dates. I would hate to see several thousand of them on a calendar! Or maybe tagged ones? > --Paula <end snip> Paula, I see from an earlier post that you're using v5. My apologies, I should have headed my e-mail with a v6 as part of the subject. In version 6, on the Individual's Information screen, you can select "Birthday Reminder" for the individual concerned, and on the Marriage Information screen, you can select to be reminded of this wedding Anniversary. You can then see the upcoming Birthdays and Wedding Anniversaries on the new Legacy Home tab and even how far in advance to be notified (giving you a chance to organise cards or gifts!) Original post: <snip> > Something I'd love to see added to it, though, would be Anniversaries of Dates of Death. I would find it very useful, just to allow me to remember my ancestors. Maybe it's just extra "bells and whistles" that we don't *NEED*, but, after all, isn't that what this whole genealogy thing is all about, remembering our ancestors? > With my limited knowledge of RDBs (such as MS Access which Legacy is based upon), I wouldn't have thought it a major feature to add in alongside the Birthday and Wedding Anniversary reminders. > Anyone else have any thought on this feature? Would it be helpful/useful for you, or do you think it's just extra bells and whistles which we can do without? > Dermot. <end snip> Dermot.
