RE: [LegacyUG] Use of Correct Given Name in reports
Marilyn I'm including the relevant bits from the Help screens. In my case it means my name looks like this on the data entry screens: Pamela Margaret "Margaret" Pegler. >From the Help screens: "You can enter a "familiar" name as part of the given names by enclosing it in quotes. For example, Margaret "Peggy" Ann. This familiar name can then be used in narrative paragraphs when a book report is generated. (See the Use Quoted Names for Narratives topic in the Format tab section of Report Options.)" "Use Quoted Names for Narratives-If names have been entered within quotation marks, use them in narrative sections. For example, William "Bill" Martin would use Bill in narrative paragraphs. Removed Quoted Given Names-Exclude quoted given names. William "Bill" Martin would appear as William Martin." I opt to remove the quoted given names so that my full name appears in headings without the 2nd, middle name in quotes and I underline Margaret (highlight, CTRL+u). It isn't a good idea to write given names in uppercase as it is a general genealogy convention to indicate surnames by the use of uppercase words. To make things absolutely clear, I have also created an event which says that Margaret was named Pamela Margaret at birth but always known as Margaret. (I don't like the way the AKA sentence reads) Hope that helps - play around with different report types and see how various options look -- Kind Regards Margaret Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Diane Do your reports include the source citations even though the superscripted numbers aren't showing up? Have you used the 'Report Options' button (with the set square and ruler) on the set up page for each report. Look under the 'Sources' tab and make sure you have 'print source citations' checked.

RE: [LegacyUG] Question about research notes
Hi Chuck Don't worry about re-asking questions (although checking the archives of this list is always a good idea). >From the help file: "Keep track of your research notes concerning an individual or his/her family. This might include the process by which this individual was found, information about the sources used, and notes about further research that needs to be done." The do to list is a much more structured way of organising your research tasks, the specific fields allow you to run a report for a specific locality, repository, individual or group. Have a look at the sample file and the 'research notes' and 'to do' list entries for Asa Clark BROWN. Just a some people prefer to keep all the information about an individual in the Notes rather than events, some people make extensive use of the research notes and others barely use it. -- Kind Regards Margaret -Original Message- On Behalf Of Chuck Arbogast Sent: Sunday, 29 June 2008 11:52 a.m. Hello, I hope this hasn't been covered before. I'm wondering what the difference in the research notes for each individual and the the To-Do list for an individual. I have been putting things that I needed to research for an individual in the research notes and not the To-Do list. At first I didn't think that it was a big deal because I thought that I would be able to run a report on all peoples research notes, but I can't find out how if you can. So, I'm thinking that using the To-Do list would have been better since I can view and print those easily. How is everyone keeping track of the items you need to research? The research notes or the To-Do list? Also, if research notes is not the correct place for future research items, then what is the research notes for?

Seems this would be helpful in determining how current the information was to help in checking for new info on the individual. Older the last update was the more liklihood you might need to review.
