RE: [LegacyUG] Fonts in "Marriage Information" Window.
Hm, working for me. A little more information please- are you wanting to change the fonts in a REPORT (something that is printed from your printer), the fonts in the Marriage Information Window (The window where you enter marriage information), or the font that displays marriage information in the marriage information bar in Family View? If it is a report, there are font options for most reports. The ones I checked, you can change those. But the fonts also change other information. If it is an Ancestor Report for example, go to: Reports >> Report Menu >>Ancestor Tab >> Report Options >> Fonts tab If it is for the Marriage Information Window where you enter marriage information, well, you can, but it is also the same font for individual information. If you want to change that, yes, you do this in Options >> Customize >> Fonts tab. Note that some are for screen fonts and some are for Master Report Fonts. Changing the font for the information bar in the family view goes the same route as changing font for Marriage Information Window. That is the Options >> Customize >> Fonts tab. What I did when I wanted to learn which font affected the display of which window or field, I changed to a really, really unique font (Remember which one you changed!), saved it, and looked to see what changed. I then made a diagram of the layout, and wrote the font "type" that was affecting that field. Now if I want to change that font for some reason (perhaps so I can tell the difference between ones (1) and Ls (l); zeroes (0) and letter Ohs (O), etc., I will temporarily change that font and check the information in question. One other thought: It is possible to select a font that displays on your screen, but your printer cannot print it. If that is the case, try another printer. The only suggestion I have for this case is to search the printer archives and see if there is a later driver for the printer. Does this help? If not, let us know- we will get it working for you.

Re: [LegacyUG]
Hi Pat I've had similar deals where others have given their research and find that there are differences to vital details, as per most guidelines I try to verify with other sources. I create a new source for each line of research received, when I add their information to my file, I also enter their details as listed into Source Detail Text. I use old cataloguing rules of using [] for anything I've added to their text. 1) I started using a separate event for each source, then streamlined to this - When the vital information has no conflicts I usually attach each source to the same event [vital info or events] and enter their details with my own [] listing of what was missing in Source Detail Text. eg birth details 1 Jan 1909 Hobart, TAS, AUS == 1 entry & 2 sources source 1 Detail Text - include it as shown - b, 1 Jan 1909 [no bp] source 2 Detail Text - b. 1909 Hobart when the information differs - I use an event such as Birth & Alt. Birth etc or leave the field blank and add these conflicts to a Notes Field, it shows each difference until I can verify/disprove them. 4) I enter what burial details are available, if there is a date of burial I estimate the date of death with 'Est' until I can verify/disprove details. I've found in Australia that burials until recent decades were on the day of death or within a few days. eg burial records give burial date & age - I try to put in at least the State & Country b. Est Jan 1920 NSW, AUS d. Est Oct 1920 NSW, AUS bur. 23 Oct 1920, Broken Hill Cemetery, Broken Hill, NSW, AUS Details Text bur. 23-Oct-1920 Broken Hill Cemetery, Age 9MTHS I'm sure there is more I could add or not use, but its working for me. I like to have something to try to put a timeline on people and in other areas use Legacy Approximate Date guide with 'Est' and explain in Citation details how I got that date or details: "Approximating Dates If you have a birth or marriage date for an individual, you can approximate many other missing dates. In general you can estimate that a man was married when he was 25 and a woman when she was 21. You can then estimate that their first child was born one year later and that subsequent children were born every two years after that." Be practical, consistent and enter information in a way that you will understand when ages later you get back to verify/disprove it. Have fun!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entry of uncertain data
<, to indicate probable, but not proven info, as in the examples given. >> The angle brackets are inserted by computer when the submitter does not provide that information. You will note that in a marriage the computer will consider the husband to be 2 to 5 years older than the wife, and there are similar guesses for birth dates. Places are obtained from close relatives. Be very careful at giving the data in those brackets any more validity than a pure guess.

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes on Web Pages
You seem to have a bit of a puzzle there, Alastair. I cannot think of anything else that one should do. Have you tried all the types of web pages? I have checked Pedigree which is the one I use and the Descendant format and both print the notes as they should but I don't know about the others. When I set my web pages up initially I do not recollect having to do anything other than checking the boxes which you have. You could try a File Maintenance>Check/Repair and also Master List Cleanup, but I'm not confident that they will do much for you. It would seem that something may be broken and a reinstall may be the only way round this, but in reality I'm just tossing ideas around to try and come up with a solution. Sorry but I can't think of anything really.

[LegacyUG] Entry of uncertain data
I have often seen place names and dates entered in angle brackets, < >, to indicate probabale, but not proven info, as in the examples given. I don't know if this is an accepted genealogical convention, but it is used often in the IGI and other databases. I use it in those situations so that when I see the brackets, I know the information is based on assumption rather than hard data. John S.

Re: [LegacyUG]
wrote Some other sourcing and data problems: How do you handle these: Can't answer for them all, but I will pick up on a couple. 2) You get back 6 generations and have two different sets of parents for the same individual -- picked up from someone else's research and no sources for either. How do you enter the info when you have no idea which is correct -- if either? I wouldn't enter either set of parents until I had done my own research and decided which (if either!) *I* thought was correct. I might add a Note such as "so-and-so thought the parents were X and Y but does not cite sources." 3) Where a person dies is not usually so important as where he was living at the time of his death, and just because he was living in County X doesn't mean that he died in County X. How do you handle that kind of info? I would always enter the place where he was at the time of his death. If I *knew* that was not where he was actually living at the time and knew where he *was* living, I would add a Note to that effect. 5) Since his parents lived their entire lives in County X, it's reasonable to assume he was born there, but his mother could have gone to visit her mother in County Y for the delivery. How do you handle info that is PROBABLY true but you don't really have any way of KNOWING? It's disconcerting not to have ANY idea where someone was living. Again, I would enter the details of where the Birth took place. Of course it is disconcerting not to have certain information - but that happens all the time with loads of information! 6) For your research Notes you've used 5 different sources, yet the research sources just lump them all together.
