Re: [LegacyUG] Batch enter event
Follow-up- Just to update the list, I was able to accomplish my task with the use of a third party software. It was an investment of $10 that allowed me to create a tombstone event for each person buried in a particular cemetery. I had to go thru a few simple steps each time for each of the 18 cemeteries, but in a matter of hours, I was able to have created a tombstone event for 17, 591 persons! Thanks to all who offered their ideas on solutions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Batch enter event
1familytree wrote I searched the archive but could not find a reference to batch creation of an event for a selection of individuals (I.e. create an event called "tombstone" for all persons tagged #9, date = after "death date" (take death sort date and change prefix 00 to 40 and update burial sort date ) place = "Cemetery name". I thought I remembered seeing a request like this before but I couldn't find it in the archives. Any help to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. I think the best you can do would be to create a search list of all the people you wanted, create the Event for one of them and then use the Event Clipboard to copy and paste (with amendment where necessary) to everyone else in the search list. -- Jenny M Benson 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
