Re: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example
I download this in Firefox with no problems. In fact, I don't even download the program, I just select run from the download option page and it installs automatically. (use the .exe not the .zip) Remember, always back up your database before running LToos and then verify the changes before you accept it as final. I always keep the last 30 days of backup on my computer "just in case."

Re: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example: Advanced Set Living
The reason for the problem which Michele has found is the individuals who are not set have no dates included and no Events and are the end of line children. Therein lies the problem, because my understanding is that Legacy works upwards to establish the probable "living" status. To do the same for the end of line children it would have to work downwards for every tree and somehow estimate a death date from parents, or maybe grandparents. This cannot be done in Legacy, using Access is a possibility, but I doubt if it would be easy. I would add that this is not a problem I have come across before and may be quite rare, at least in number/database. In Michele's case most of those of those involved had (their children's) names found eg. in wills, with no other record, so the best guess at a date is likely to be wildly inaccurate, could be around +/-20yrs, maybe more.

RE: [LegacyUG] Here is a good example
Yes, thank you Evert! Legacy's Advanced Set Living feature can be reached by clicking Tools on the menu bar and selecting Advanced Set Living. This option does an intelligent search through your entire family file looking for people that are older than the cutoff age, which is usually 120 years old. When someone of this age is found, it is assumed that all of their ancestors are older than that and that they are all dead. Legacy then sets their Living flag to NO as far back as the line goes from there, regardless of whether or not they have birth or christening dates.
