Thanks Elizabeth,
answers next to the questions.
Are you planning one Legacy descendant report or a separate descendant
report for each of the children with one index? I think non-researchers
prefer to start reading about their direct line or descendants of people
they knew (like grandparents who were alive when they were children.)
I am planning one book one chapter for the parents and one chapter
(descandant report) for each of the 4 daughters. (2 sons died prior to
marrying and having children) with one index at the end. I am in contact
with descandents from each of the 4 daughters and they have all contributed
information and photos.
If you are willing to have source images in endnotes,
At this point I have not entered source information as pictures
You could start with a more recent generation and work out your methods
for a smaller Legacy book or start with two or three generations for the
1832 couple.
Options were to do separate books for each daughter but then I didn't
include the story of the parents which explained a lot of why's and when's.
I thought of doing only 3/4 generations which ends with my father but
thought that doesnot help future generations in knowing who some of their
cousins are. I decided to include all generations but am limiting the birth
information on those alive. I am including their names but not birth dates.
I have done this by placing [[ ]] around the birth dates and this works
well. Hopefully this will keep those who are security conscious happy.
I was not going to include event's in the reports preferring to include the
note fields but it looks like the event fields are the easiest work around
to include extra photos without adding extra scrapbooks. I like the way
Legacy lets you place the photo next to the individual in the reports. I
think that this is better then having to add a separate scrapbook. It makes
it more interesting for the non genie.
Decide early in the project if you want to use sentences or listed
events because there is a difference in spacing.
I will have a look at this - thanks for the tip
