Re: [LegacyUG] Software
I have contacted the Legacy service about their not listing parents' names of spouses. This was their reply: I am sorry, this is still in testing. We have not been given an ETA for a general release build. When it comes to a release date, it all depends on testing and how it goes. If testing goes bad and bugs are found, they have to be fixed and then retested. Because of this, we are not able to predict when a build will be ready for general release. It is a BIG deal when you are writing a descendant's report when siblings marry siblings. I am working on a family right now that two siblings married siblings and two more of their siblings married two other siblings. Yes, this makes a difference. I am not whining. That being said, I do LOVE legacy family tree but think if they would fix that one thing it shouldn't be really hard. On Tue, Feb 1, 2022 at 8:21 AM Gillian Häkli wrote: > Thank you, Linda.

I agree. I am having the same problem and unhappy is putting it mildly. On Thu, Jan 27, 2022 at 8:44 PM Juergen Amling wrote: > I know this was mentioned before.

Re: [LegacyUG] My previous build question
I wish we all had known about this problem as I would have NEVER updated to this build. I have loved Legacy even though I have had issues in the past. At one time it was picking up incorrect information, but this is totally irresponsible as they should have been checking for things like this.

Re: [LegacyUG] Change to Ancestor Book Report
So I was getting ready to make some books for a friend and have to wait for a new build. Why didn't they check this before they made the new build?

Re: [LegacyUG] Change to Ancestor Book Report
My reports are also not showing parents. I need instructions on how to fix this and the instructions need to be simple.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question about DNA Tests
You would want Y-DNA to track male lineage. I used that for my dad. Unfortunately, after his death when I tried to get the autosomal added, they had no more of the DNA left. So don't just assume you can upgrade at any time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Print Hashtag report
Dear Wayne, I think I have this correct. After you get your listing, you will see the word "Options" to the left of "Search." Click on Options, scroll down until you see print, click on print, then preview, then print.
