Personally, I only use the Address Fields as an address book - hence only for living people. I include the full address in the Location Field, in which I include House, and Street as well as Town, City, County, Country (I'm from England). Why? Mainly because the Address Fields do not appear in many reports. I also find the mapping, in general, more accurate when the full address is in the Location Field. Whilst some believe in trying to get the use of the Address Fields improved, I'm afraid I would rather adopt a pragmatic approach :-).

I looked at a tutorial online at the Legacy website and found that it was recommended that cemetery names be moved from the Buried field leaving only the city and state. A spent a long time putting them there in FTM 2009 because it seemed appropriate, but I can understand why they shouldn't be there now. Multiple Questions on this one: 1) I tagged all the cemeteries that need to have their name moved by clicking on the plus sign. Is there a way I can first show all the tagged items and start moving cemetery names from there. I can't find anything within the program that lets you show tagged items only so what's the point of tagging if you can't? 2) Should this be done for all locations including residences where the person lived? I have a lot of those and just started, but didn't finish because I don't want to have to revert back with hundreds of them. 3) Are mailing list addresses just for living people or residences where the person lived (i.e., census, death notices, etc.). This question kind of goes with item 2. 4) Master List Location list: only city and state? I'm finding this very confusing. I think I'm going to have to purchase and download the PDF manual then read the entire thing.

[LegacyUG] Web pages - linking to another set of pages
I currently have pedigree style web pages stored on my ISP server. I link to them from a home page on Geocities which recently announced that free web hosting will be ending this summer. From my current home page, I also link to a set of pedigree pages for an unconnected people database. These are people that I have found with the same surnames and locations as people definitely connected to me. Because Geocities is going away, I want the index.html of my main family database to be my main website page but I'd like to place a link on it to the unconnected pages. Can a link be coded in the web pages setup in Legacy or do I have to manually add the html hyperlink tags after the pages are created? Does this make sense?

RE: [LegacyUG] Web pages - display of special characters
I have now successfully linked my unconnected people webpages to my main family pages. Now for the other question. Special characters such as bullets and letters with accents are displaying incorrectly from my website. They appear correctly when I look at the the HTML pages on my computer but when I view them after they are uploaded via FTP to my ISP, they appear as outlined squares. For example, I have the setup for pedigree-style web pages to display events in list style using bullet points. Once uploaded to my web server, the bullets are no longer little dots but outlined squares. Likewise, letters with accents (French e's with accent acute or German u's with umlauts) also appear as outlined squares instead of the correct letter. They appear fine when I look at the HTML files on my hard drive prior to uploading. Perhaps my web server can't display the font that the files are being created in? Has anyone else experienced this?

No, they are all the same place. The location in German has the umlaut. I just haven't updated other notations of it in other places in my database. What really bothers me is that the encoding selection doesn't appear to be a permanent setting that I can make in IE 8.

Sorry, but I think Google is probably wrong. Most Latin nouns ending in -us are 2nd declension and the plural would therefore be -i, but census is 4th declension (like portus - a port) where the plural is portus (pronounced portoos, ie a long u). I have checked in the Collins and the Oxford Latin dictionaries and they both give the same answer. We use many Latin endings for 2nd declension words, termini for example, so censi might be allowable were it to be Latin, but it is not.

RE: [LegacyUG] Need overall help
Cathy, This is almost exactly what I do except in the long description I put the address in parentheses () right after the city or town. The same thing with a hospital name for birth or death, church name for religious events such as baptisms and marriages, and cemetery name for burial. They sort better in the Master Location List and I can map exactly to the location. The short description is just as you have it. I also use the short description for reports and my web pages.

This looks better on reports so I always select Use Short Location Names for reports. If the use of the report requires the full city, county, state, country for some reason, that can be selected for that specific report. The reason for reversing the city and street address in the long description is so it can be found when looking at the Master Locations List. I sometimes even put the name of the cemetery or the name of the church where they were married instead of the street address and plot it to that location (don't have to only use the address). Many don't like muddying up the locations with the street address but I like seeing where they were born, lived, married, buried, etc. I also can see how close different family groups lived to each other, etc. Sometimes I can even get an idea if they were doing better or worse as the years went along by looking at the neighborhoods on the map. I also like seeing if they lived downtown or in the tenements or lived in the country or in a rural area and may have lived on a farm. In one case, the family story was the house was on a hilltop (and upscale). Turns out it was close to downtown and not on a hill at all. In another case the family story was the husband walked to his store each day but the address I had was far from the store location. After more research, I found a different address in a City Directory that was 3 blocks from the store location which I felt was the correct address. If it's an indirect relative, I will put the address or name of cemetery or church in the + address field instead of in the main location field because I don't care about mapping them or creating more locations on the Master Location List.

RE: [LegacyUG] Locations - when a village becomes a city
Steve, Thank you for your response. I will continue on my current path. I started on this long trek almost 30 years ago (with many breaks in the action). I always had the locations as they are in present day but once I ran the county verifier, I found the errors in that line of thinking. So I am now in the process of fixing all of my locations, adding as you suggested, notes giving the historical changes. Not an easy task but I'm making progress. I've got 3 centuries of events in Detroit which started as a French fort, then became part of British North America, Northwest Territory, Indiana Territory and Michigan Territory before the State of Michigan was formed. Imagine straightening all of those events out!

My own take is that genealogy is an attempt to record events and facts in their contemporary setting (variant spellings and all), and not to second-guess details or bring them into the present, so to speak. Thus, your proposed solution of using several location names makes the most sense to me, with the added suggestion that you use the location notes field (accessible via the Master Location List) to provide some of the historical detail that you've mentioned here about Tonawanda and North Tonawanda. The downside to this solution is that it can be difficult to locate old records based on the location, because although a person might have died in Wheatfield in 1865, you'll need to know that the records are now located in the City of North Tonawanda. Thus you will need to be careful about adding notes with such details regarding the current setting of locations that no longer exist or have changed names (and don't even get me started on the added complication of there also being a Town of Tonawanda!) The converse argument suggests that you stick with modern names for events regardless of the time when they occurred, which can make things somewhat easier to read through (thus it reads that the person lived in NT for their entire life, versus jumping around to various location names which at first glance can make it seem like they moved, even though it was merely the civil boundaries that moved.) Taking this route can lead to complications down the road when someone realizes that there was no such location as North Tonawanda in 1855, and questions the accuracy of your data.

And when that binder gets too large, I make a SHEETS Bedford Co., PA binder, a SHEETS Holmes Co., OH binder, etc. Then within those localities, I file by type of record type, e.g. I have sections for deeds, court records, marriage records etc. This system has the added benefit of telling me quickly where the holes in my research are. (If the deeds section in Bedford Co. PA is empty or nearly empty...) I know where to look for a specific record for a particular individual or couple from the Family Group Sheets which I keep in alphabetical order in a section at the beginning of the binder. (Or by firing up Legacy and looking at the database). Sometimes, if I'm working on the other surname of a couple, I'll make duplicates to keep in the other surname binder, or I cross reference them (e.g. my WINSLOW binder may say refer to SHEETS binder for the Samuel Sheets/Phebe Winslow marriage). Then there are those who are doing away with most paper files by scanning their documents and attaching them to the individuals/couple in Legacy...(I'm doing more of that, but I doubt I'll ever give up my binders; they just make it easier for me to see the patterns/relationships and analyze the information I've gathered). I have experimented with files (not binders) for each couple: this works best (for me) for collateral families, not my direct lines. For example, I might have a file for Mary Ann Sheets m. Adam Harbolt and their descendants. (She is an ancestor's sister). That I would file under Harbolt, with my Sheets binder (or Legacy) telling me she married a Harbolt. There are as many ways to organize your paper files as there are ways to use Legacy: figure out what meets your needs, works best for you, will grow easily, and matches the way you think. Hope this gives you some ideas... Connie ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store. Use coupon code: Legacy2008 at checkout.

[LegacyUG] TIF images attached to sources
I have TIF images of newspaper articles attached to events. They have been acquired from the microfilms of newspapers by using the reader attached to a computer for scanning right to the computer. I then save the image to my flash drive to bring home. Many of these articles are captured on a full page of the newspaper. Using Microsoft Office Picture Manager, I am able to crop the section of the page that I really need. If I attach the original image to the event detail, everything's ok but if I attach the cropped version (also saved as a TIF), it doesnt appear. Does anyone know of any quirky file behavior resulting from using this software to crop the image? Mary ** $10 OFF when you spend $50 or more in our store. Use coupon code: Legacy2008 at checkout.

Michele, I suppose I could check the name list every time I add someone but I might not catch females that I have in my database under their maiden or married name and I am adding the other. I would recommend that you NEVER NEVER NEVER enter a female under her married name. Females should only be entered by their maiden names. Entering an AKA for her with her married name is okay however.

RE: [LegacyUG] Help - new user
Welcome, Linda! Please remember that Legacy is very flexible and that it allows you to do things many different ways. You may find many different suggestions from different people on this list as topics are discussed. I have ALL of my people in one database but there are others on this list who have their family in one file and their spouse's family in another. I have 1 database for a number of reasons, mostly so that all of my son's ancestors, aunts, uncles and cousins are in the same database that he is. Otherwise, I would be in my family file plus my husband's to show that I am his wife and vice-versa. Our son, likewise, would have to be in both. In addition, you just never know where in your ancestry you might find that the families have crossed over each other. In regards to two marriages, you assign the children to their BIRTH parents. Additional marriages for the parents will result in the children being shown as step or 1/2 children.

Ron, when you create your pages, do you use List Style or Sentence Style for Events? Do you have events that you created? I use List Style and it appears that events that I have defined do not look the same as those that came with Legacy. I don't see anything different in the way that the event is defined. Examples of the event in List Style on pedigree web page: OCCUPATION: Saddler, 8 Sep 1878, Saint Vincent Villa, Lynton, Devon, England.

RE: [LegacyUG] Very Basic Questions
That is correct, Thomas. It does increase the number of locations that the program needs to keep track of. But it is a relational database and being of such design, it can keep track of them quite nicely. And... you can attach them to as many events, facts or people that you need to. I use the same approach that Ron uses and by putting the address in the location field, I don't have to click on the '+' every time I want to put the specific address that someone lived at during the 1910 census or the name of the church in which my grandparents were married back in 1914.

RE: [LegacyUG] Not fair Millennia!
Ken, I am also a long time user of Legacy, longer than some but shorter than others. I for one am being patient. My research and recording of such can continue along just nicely with version 6. Sure, I'm anxious like everyone else but I trust that Millennia knows what they are doing and can continue to wait as long as necessary.

I've learned a couple of things from you about this. Among other things, I didn't know there was such a thing as IrfanView until now. (I'll take a look at it appreciate your pointing it out to me.) And I'll admit I hadn't considered pasting one image into the area next to another and saving the whole thing as one image. That's obviously a good workaround to having two separate census images for one family. For those of you who include reference to the specific head-of-house in the image file name and/or begin the file name with a couple's MRIN number, I have another question: what do you do about naming images of census pages which have two or more individual families, and therefore, two or more MRINs on them? These are not members of the same household, but they are all people in my database; sometimes they are not actually kin to each other, but are only kin to mutual people. I also have multiple instances of my gg-grandparents in one household, two doors down are my g-grandparents, and next door is a sibling to my g-gp with his/her family. The three families aren't living together, they're living close to one another. Do you have duplicates of the same image, each with a name that reflects this head-of-household or each couple's MRIN? Or, are you picking out one family of the three and naming the census image with that one head-of-house or one couple's MRIN in it and then referencing that number for all the rest, even though they aren't in the same actual household??? I expect I'm being dense here. Sorry, but I'd like a little more clarification on how others do this. Thanks again! You're all great!

I can do it in a word processor file, but it would really simplify things for me if Legacy can do it somehow. Why? Several years ago we had a Frazier family reunion. Our immigrant ancestor had 7 children, and just for fun, we divided the group up by their names, e.g. House of David, House of Isaac and so on. We had name tags and a hand-drawn chart showing each House and the members of each who were at the reunion. It turned out to be a fun way of creating smaller groups of closer relatives, and we photographed each House separately. We kept lists of each House by hand back then, but all have since been lost and re-creating them is a labor I'd rather not take on again. BUT all those people are in my Legacy file, and if I could somehow permanently note them in a file, I'd be ecstatic. I know there's one way to do it with the Address File. There are already blanks for name and e-mail address, and I could put the House in any of the other fields that I don't need.

I can do it in a word processor file, but it would really simplify things for me if Legacy can do it somehow. Why? Several years ago we had a Frazier family reunion. Our immigrant ancestor had 7 children, and just for fun, we divided the group up by their names, e.g. House of David, House of Isaac and so on. We had name tags and a hand-drawn chart showing each House and the members of each who were at the reunion. It turned out to be a fun way of creating smaller groups of closer relatives, and we photographed each House separately. We kept lists of each House by hand back then, but all have since been lost and re-creating them is a labor I'd rather not take on again. BUT all those people are in my Legacy file, and if I could somehow permanently note them in a file, I'd be ecstatic. I know there's one way to do it with the Address File. There are already blanks for name and e-mail address, and I could put the House in any of the other fields that I don't need.

I tried using older ones, but it had lost data so I then opened Legacy with the 2006 .usr files restored and then opened my most recent backup and now it all looks fine.McAfee 'says' it only deleted cookies and the missing .usr files were not in quarantine. However, as I have copies of Legacy (Deluxe) in both C:\Legacy and in C:\Program Files\Legacy, what is the best way of dealing with that, please? Should I move all of one set to the other place, or delete one set? I am using Windows XP not Vista. I get regular updates from Legacy and am using Version 6.0.0.179 - they presumably all go in the same place. Your comment about backing up the .usr files, do you mean storing them on the CD when I backup Legacy and the Multimedia files? I have never done that. Elizabeth Cathy wrote: Hi Elizabeth, This doesn't normally happen with any form of scan on a computer but every now and again one of the AntiMalware softwares get false positives and it sounds like whatever was scanning took exception to something in the Legacy files. Closing Legacy by right clicking on it when it's minimised to the Task Bar is no problem. I do it all the time. It sounds like you've lost all your .usr files and they've all reverted to the defaults. The fonts etc that you are referring to aren't held within the .fdb file. That only has your data so going to a backup of your Family File won't return the fonts etc. You have to re choose your options in Options Customise and everywhere else - unless you can see that whatever was scanning has quarantined the files somewhere and you can release them. Another possibility is that you've got two installations of Legacy on your computer and you've opened a different one. If you installed Legacy into Program Files, take a look to see whether you also have a C:\Legacy folder. That's the default location but many of us install to Program Files - though I understand things are different with Vista. If you are using Vista and you installed to the Program Files folder, then I think the .usr files etc get put in some virtual store or something? Sorry. I don't have Vista but know that programs aren't allowed to write to the Program folders after installation. There's information on the Legacy web pages on how to properly install Legacy to run under Vista. Are you a Deluxe user? Have you also lost access to the Deluxe features? If so, you'll need to re-enter your Customer Number as well. For another occasion: I include the .usr files in my regular computer backup so that I can restore them if/when necessary.

Besides some census districts/pieces cross county boundaries as Registration Districts do, so it would be bringing in an artifical division with no relevance to the census. I would divide off Scotland if I was fortunate enough to have any Scottish censuses as they're available through a different site. Unfortunately my Scots ancestors left before Censuses and I can't find their relatives. Similarly, before all the Censuses were available at Ancestry I made a Census source for each Census film I viewed. I'm in process of combining them as I get the better images from Ancestry.

Legacy can only guess at Women's married surnames as it does in the Calendar Creator - so it is often wrong in these days where in cultures where the woman used to take the husband's surname on marriage, this now often doesn't happen - let alone other cultures where women have never taken the husband's surname.

Your supposition may be accurate. Your comments reminded me of festering issue. I am an advocate of placing the residence of a married couple as an Event under Marriage Information. Regrettably no Marriage Information Events appear on Individual Reports. I don't understand the logic of this. It makes sense to record one address of a couple in one location (as an Event under Marriage Information) than the same address in two separate locations (as an Event under each individual). When running Individual Reports, it would still be appropriate to have the joint marriage events appear on the Individual Reports for both individuals. Not doing so gives a very inaccurate chronological report of significant life events on the Individual Reports. Soin response to your question, no, the event was not created in Marriage Events. I do very little placing of events there because of Legacy's limitation of not having the information appear on Individual Reports.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sources
Keith, Yes, there is! Go to the Master Source that you want to copy. Open it to edit, change to match what you want the new source to be. When you save it, you will get a dialog box with 2 choices. Be sure to select #2 to save it as a new source.

RE: [LegacyUG] Sources
I had a situation that I found where in some source details I had page and in others Page. I wanted to make them consistent. Doing it through Legacy would have been quite a task. I opened the database in Access, found the correct table, created a query of the source detail field, sorted it and was able to make all of my entries consistent. Search and Replace was very easy. I know that this is not something that everyone using Legacy can do, whether it is because they don't have Access or don't know really how to use it. But this was a quick fix for me and I am very happy making these changes so easily.

That's the downside of sourcing everything AND having a medium-to-large database. Now let's say I found a typo in the word Journal below. I would have to go back for every single obit and correct it. On the other hand, by lumping all articles found in this newspaper into one master source, I would only have to make one change to the master and all the individual sources would instantly be fixed. That's the beauty of what people refer to as source lumping. Also, I can search a specific newspaper (or cemetery, or census year and county) and very quickly know who all I've found in that paper (or other master source). That's, to me, what makes using a database so powerful! Hope that all makes sense...

Let me see if an example might help. I find an obituary for John Doe: I first create a master source like iThe Journal-Patriot [microfilm]/i, Wilkesboro, North Carolina (Wilkes County Community College Library) This master source could be the source for several different peoples' obits, each of which can apply to many people and/or events. Now let's say I create a citation detail for one specific article I find in this newspaper: obituary for John Doe, vol. XXVI, no. 103, Monday, 20 Nov 1933, page 5 I might want to apply this master source and the source detail to John Doe's name, birth date, death date, religion, and occupation. I might also want to apply this same master plus detail to John Does' wife, parents, and children. I could use Legacy's source template to copy and paste the master plus detail combo to all the people and facts. That would be fine except that there would be muliple copies of this exact same master plus detail floating around in Legacy's database. If I needed to make a correction to the detail, I would have to search and replace the erroneous portion in every individual copy of this in Legacy. If the source plus detail were only entered once in Legacy, I envision this: 1) I first select a (previously entered) master source from Legacy (like I already would now) 2) I then see a drop down box with each previously entered citation detail choice: i.e. obituary for John Doe, vol. XXVI, no. 103, Monday, 20 Nov 1933, page 5 obituary for Jane Doe, vol. XXVII, no. 112, Monday, 5 May 1942, page 1 obituary for Baby Doe, vol XXII, no. 74, Monday, 12 February 1921, page 3 3) I would click the one I wanted or I could add a new one 4) I would then click the place to apply the master plus detail (John Doe's name, Jane Doe's name, John Doe's place of birth, etc.) The benefit is that you would select the detail to associate with the master source and then Legacy would create a link to the entire source set (master plus detail). You would not have identical copies of master plus detail like the example below floating around in Legacy attached to
RE: [LegacyUG] How to make a Master Source of the IGI
Well, as many of us, myself included have said - this is a very flexible program and you can record your information pretty much any way you want. Personally, even if someone tells me that so-and-so was born on such-and-such date, I record it in the birth event with the person who told me as the source. If I find physical evidence that substantiates what the person told me, that gets a high surety mark where the person's report has a low one but both get credit as a source.

RE: [LegacyUG] I am very frustrated
You can change the wording for sentences in the Master Event list and it will carry over to each person using that event. You can also change them for an individual but it will not be a global change. Mary -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michele Lewis Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:18 AM To: Legacy E-Mail List Subject: [LegacyUG] I am very frustrated I printed out a test run of a descendancy report of one of my ancestors (just a couple of generations worth) and the output is not good. I would have to import this report into Word and clean it up. All of the wording is wrong, formating is wrong etc (based on the standards in place by the Board for Certification of Genealogists and the wonderful book Professional Genealogy by Elizabeth Shown Mills, as well as her citation books). I am not saying that the report should be coming out perfect and I am glad that you can change the wording on the event fields (sentence override) but I am going to have to go in and pretty much change the wording on all of the event fields (and I am thinking that I am going to have to do this on each individual and that any changes I make will not carry over person to person). I know that the new version of Legacy will have a source wizard of sorts that will format the sources to comform to the standards outlined by Elizabeth Shown Mills but I wonder if there should be a data wizard that will make sure that all of the data is in a standarized format. Having a feature in the program where you can input your data into a book format is not helpful if there are so many errors in how it comes out. There is no way someone could just hit the button and POOF! a formatted book comes out. You would have to import the entire book into Word and clean it up which would take countless hours (might be easier to just type it in from scratch using a printout from Legacy as your notes). I do want to say that I really do like Legacy. It has a lot of great features that the other programs don't have but this is a shortcoming and I am hoping this is an area where there will be some improvement.

Ron, Like you, I've put the entire location in the field such as Kenmore (Mount Olivet Cemetery), Erie County, New York, USA. The short name is actually longer - Mount Olivet Cemetery, Kenmore, Erie County, New York, USA. I use the short name in my web pages. I do this for births (hospitals, homes), baptisms (churches), deaths (same as births), burials/cremations and census (streets or full addresses of homes).

In one instance, in Kentucky, in 1817, my ancestor died in New Liberty, Gallatin County. In 1819 Owen County was created from four counties, but New Liberty was split in half, his portion stayed in Gallatin. In 1820 Census, his widow was found in Gallatin paying taxes. In 1821, Gallatin gave portions (including rest of New Liberty area) to Owen County. In 1821, she has left Tax lists of Gallatin and joined Owen County. It was very confusing until I found that the portion of New Liberty they had lived in was renamed in the 1850s? as Wheatley. Before that, in 1830, the family moved in 3 groups over 4 years to Indiana. They never learned (?) the place they lived, was no longer called New Liberty. Everyone in the family, to this day, is still calling the homestead as in New Liberty. Imagine my confusion and frustration when we went to visit it, 1500 miles, and were searching twenty miles away from where the place actually was. I have created matching Chronology entries stating this, so they can be added into any report on this family which might be a person needing the tax list, probate stuff, but if person doesn't need this, I can easily not print paragraphs of info. (No deleting, just unticking.) I was going to PDF it, but am having problems unrelated with my printer at the moment. I had planned on PDF to insert to this, but will fix later. Hope this helps. I have created a grouping of each state my family is in, to pick and choose which needs to be there each time.

RE: [LegacyUG] Grandaugher without parents?
Just as an example of how this can be confusing - My grandmother's sister went back to England from Western New York to visit their grandparents. She is listed in their household in Morebath, Devon in the 1891 census on 5 Apr 1891 but she lived in the US, having left England in 1884. She is listed as their granddaughter but there is no mention that she was a visitor, not a resident. And to complicate matters, she was the informant on the death records of both of the grandparents who died while she was there on 25 Apr 1891 and 28 Apr 1891. Sure makes it look like she lived there!

Tks to all who replied. I appreciate the help. One think though, I read an article recently re Census in England that said that the Census information for the address was the people who NORMALLY stay their. That could mean that a person could be listed at that address on the night of the Census, but not actually be there. I was initially under the impression that it was only those in the house on the night, but that might not be so. Any thoughts or info?

RE: [LegacyUG] Master Location List--use of brackets?
That would be the surety tag on the source detail screen.

Thanks for your ideas. I wish there was a way to enter how certain we are of a particular fact, esp. locations dates!! -- Pat - Original Message - From: Pat Hickin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 1:48 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List--use of brackets? Let's say I have a census or other source that says the subject was a miller in 1850 and lived in Smith Co., ST. I enter this info as an event (Occupation) and I assume this was in the same county so I add the county part in brackets in the location field (especially since I know he lived on the border between Smith and Jones counties). Or I assume that he died in a particular county though my source doesn't say that he did. And I indicate in the citation that I got the date only from the source (and the brackets show that I've added the location -- I might even add a ? in front of the closing bracket). I don't especially like this way of handling it, in part because it messes up the Master locations list. But at least the viewer knows the info may be a bit iffy when s/he looks at the family, etc., view. Of course I can always give the source for the location as My assumption. But I'm wondering how others handle this kind of thing? I'm sure there must be a better way of handling this. -- Pat - Original Message - From: GeoSci [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Legacy User Group LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 9:13 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Master Location List I have been working on correcting errors in my Master Location List. I keep finding wrong locations - with NO ONE in the Show List (in other words - I have corrected the error). Is there a way to have Legacy REBUILD the list - eliminating the empty (unused) locations (which are mostly errors anyway)??

RE: [LegacyUG] Hard copy manual
Sorry that you feel this way but we are not humorless, spoilsport policepersons. While the Legacy folks are on the cruise, we are attempting to keep things in order on this list. There have been way too many discussions recently that have wandered off-topic and lasted far too long. Lots of wasted bandwidth!
