Re: [LegacyUG] Two files at once
Elsie, 1. From Family View, choose View from the tool bar menu. 2. From the View menu, choose Split Screen View. When this opens, you will have two views of the same Legacy file. 3. A box will open asking "Do you want to open a different Family file in the new window?" Choose Yes, and press open. You now have two different files open side by side. Now you can compare the two, drag and drop from one file to the other, or you can even change or correct information in one file and then drag and drop that person into the other file, thus keeping both files updated at once. Hope this answers your question? Lawanda Darby --- Elsie Saar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tried to view two Legacy files at once, side by > side, but couldn't > open Legacy twice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census Formats? Totally confused!!
Keith, You might try Stevemorse.org/census, and click on Microfilms. This brings up a form where you can enter the state, county and Enumeration Dist, (I think I remember you mentioned in yesterday's posting that you had the state and county), then the form will give you the series and roll numbers. It won't give you the page number, but 2 answers is better than none. I should be working on my client's income tax return, but finding an answer to your confusion was too much of a challenge.

Re: [LegacyUG] A Census Question
Keith, The information offered is essentially the same. The first one is usually from Heritage Quest Online, and is self explanatory. Series #, Roll #, Page #. The Family History Library gives the same information, but in a different way. This is also the format for the Family search 1880 census transcription. First it adds an identification number for the library film. Then it has the NARA Film Number which includes the Series # (T9 in your example, which is the 1880 Census Year), then a "-" and then the Roll# (1207 in your example), then the Page #(523D in your example) The third example, I am not sure. I have not seen this configuration before. But T9 is the Series, 1043 is the Roll, and 294C is the page. Some census records have only one page per record, some 2, and some 4. So if you get a record that has more than one page for the record, you will get the B, C, or D after the page number. I hope this information helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] 2-generation descendant report with spouses
Pat, The family group sheet supplies what you want, but also includes the parents of the couple.
