Chris, One method is to enter Topic notes for locations or surnames as an unconnected family but the topic portion of a Legacy book would still need to be edited. I have county and township notes along with maps in a non-Legacy file. Full page maps cannot be included in the same PDF Legacy report as a small face picture of each individual. The current public version of Legacy 6 Deluxe omits spouse pictures in RTF reports.
Legacy already has location notes that are lost in file transfers to other programs, and sometimes the name sources are converted to general sources. How would you expect to keep Surname Notes? Sometimes I enter surname notes for the earliest known ancestor, and a Legacy file could have that type of information in Research notes. Transfer of lengthy general, event or research notes should be checked if your research contacts use older versions of non-Legacy software limited to "short" notes. Some people in my files claimed to be "English" even though they moved from Ireland to USA or Canada about 1830. The birth dates, locations and names of parents were often "unknown" or left blank by the time the elderly folks passed away. I'm having a struggle with event locations in Ontario. Some people lived on the same family farm for a century or more but the postal address changed along with census districts and sometimes county. Some of the events have lot number or house owner, nearest town, township, county, province. Hospitals for birth-death events after 1900 were often in a different county and sometimes the church or cemetery was in a different township than the farm. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris I think this would be an excellent area for improvement (he says at risk of hearing cries of "fix all the current bugs first" <vbg> ) Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
