The numbers that are printed by Legacy on a pedigree chart have absolutely 
nothing to do with RINs, or who you enter first.  (Pedigree charts will 
always be appropriately numbered regardless of whose pedigree chart you 
print).


I completely ignore RINs and MRINs.  The only value they have, in my 
opinion, is for people who choose to file their paper files by number (I'm 
an alphabetical person).  And possibly, in some cases, to help distinguish 
two people of the same name (though I use other means, like their birth 
dates or spouse name, to make that distinction).


Otherwise, they are just something else to clutter the brain, IMO.

It doesn't matter who you enter first; you could start with a 3rd cousin 
twice removed.  If you decide you do have a use for the RINs, you can always 
change them later if you don't like how they are automatically assigned.

It would be nice if Legacy would give you a choice of which one to work 
with

like all the other Options.

Subject: [LegacyUG] GPS lat and long format

Findagrave gives the plot location of a grave as

GPS 37.36263 - 79.84933

Legacy won't accept it and says, in the Help section (I couldn't copy
The error message but in effect it's the same thing):

"The latitude and longitude must be in the form of degrees, minutes and
Seconds. The degrees must be between 0 and 90, if a latitude, and
Between 0 and 180, if a longitude. The minutes and seconds must be
Between 0 and 59. The seconds can have up to three decimal places after
It. E.G. 681234.293.)"

I don't know how to translate it to get minutes and seconds to numbers < 
60.



This is the first time I've attempted to enter Lat and Long.

Can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks,
Pat
