Hi Graham,
Sorry to hear of your frustrations in obtaining the Families
app, and getting it running. Families is not a product of
Millennium, nor is it associated with their Legacy Family

I have most of my documents such as birth, death & marriage certificates

Hello all, and am I the only one having trouble with the Legacy

Maybe I've done it wrong, but I have just gone through many hours of
the most convoluted downloading procedure I have ever encounted.
For starters, I received an email which stated "Use this coupon for

I'm wondering if the person might not have felt intimidated especially if your
email gave any sort of reference to a tie with Legacy or Millennia Corp? I
could understand where they might just want to ignore you under those
circumstances. But as I stated before, there are many people out there t
More about Dates..
I thought that the only permissible word in a Legacy date field was the word
"unknown". Until I found this little gem in the Legacy Help File:
"You can also enter the following words into any date field: dead,
deceased, child, infant, stillborn and young."
Huh?
I have tons of those, and Legacy lets me do after (date) and before
(date) when all the dates are from a Will, being written and dated and
being probated.

If they were, I would expect a bounce message. Not getting any

I have many potential problems in my database. They include a priest stating a
birth on Feb 30 (I forgot year). Once chosen, the PP 'accepts' the error, which
is not mine, but a long dead person's. There seems to be an attitude that PP
are always bad. If you want to use 'present', go ahead.

In one instance, one person had borrowed my data, including unknown errors,
then died. His copies of my errors were still there the last time I looked.
Some sites became 'owner' of the data, and wouldn't let me edit it. So the
people you needed to contact may be dead already.

Thanks Brian and BMcL Robinson,
Knowing that the problem was not with the date of '02/21/1942', but with the
word 'present' or even 'current' (I had tested both and gotten the same BAD. I
have opted for using the word 'From' in front of my date(s) with no '-' after
that date. While it is not

Maybe a little more explanation would be in order of why I said that
"02/21/1942" has nothing wrong with it. Taken in context, the OP stated Legacy
was marking "02/21/1942 - Present" as BAD. I stated that it was the word
"Present" that caused Legacy to declare it BAD and not the entry of the dat

Great idea, didn't think of that. The defaults worked nicely so I'd stuck with them. In fact, simply by changing the font size from 10 to 11 I've vastly improved it. I'll keep playing with that option. Thanks.

What about "after 21 Feb 1942" if you can't commit to an end date?
