I have a similar problem with the g key, so I make that letter be my Ctrl-C, 
and in Legacy have added both caps and smalls to the extra character bar. Hope 
it helps.

To answer the last part of your question about the circular pedigree chart...

Across the top menu in Legacy, choose Reports, then scroll down to 
Legacy Charting.  This will open the Legacy Charting 
program.  Choose the Full Fan report.  I love this report for 
showing where the holes are.  I've printed the pages, and taped them 
together to hang over my filing cabinet, so I can quickly see at a 
glance where my research ends.  I do love the color coding, so I can 
tell which line I'm seeing.


Hope this helps.

One more thought - my 23 year old son was never interested much in genealogy
until he saw the fan chart.  Maybe this is just what you need to pique your

Hello Dan,

Thank you for answering;  yes, I have looked at it - I think that's 
when I decided it might be best to just order a nice wall chart from 
Legacy then told myself, "but you're not finished here yet" and 
decided I'd just  print out a simple pedigree "line chart" myself for 
now with what I have to date (since I'll never be "finished",  - will anyone?).
I will look at it once again, though - try not to tremble.  I did a 
simple Ancestry "narrative  chart" for my eldest half-sister last 
year, that's just one name on back to the mid 1500's and that stacked 
up to fill a 3" thick binder (included all tho).  I'm going to have 
to stop researching for a bit I think and take time to play with 
Legacy, go where I've never gone before?


You people are all so very helpful - my deepest thanks,
Kate

Thank you, Rich - yes, you understood perfectly;  see all those pages 
flying off the little preview printer?  First time I tried it I 
didn't wait to the end, scared me, but the index pg's make sense

I am again translating what I thing is being asked. My 
reccomendation is to go to Reports icon in the task bar. Choosing 
"Pedigree Chart" brings you to the 'monster'. Notice in the middle 
of the screen, a field named Generations. by playing 'Devil's 
Advocate", I scrolled up to 329 generations,and stopped. If you put 
ALL it will go to 999 generations. I would reccomend choosing one 
page (your choice 4-5-6), and review, then use then up arrow to add 
a page to the preview. I choose 5, then using 9, 13, 17, 21, then 25 
gives 79 pages. When I used ALL it took about 2 minutes to created 
522 pages, but this is tied to how fast my laptop is, and how big my 
hard drive is. The bottom line is, utilize preview to help decide 
how much paper you have, then print what you can. I noticed that 
pages 523-560 are an index. Printing the equivalent pages for your 
stuff will show how big this task is, without actually printing more 
than a ream of pages. Let it run to finish.

I am again translating what I thing is being asked. My reccomendation is to go 
to Reports icon in the task bar. Choosing "Pedigree Chart" brings you to the 
'monster'. Notice in the middle of the screen, a field named Generations. by 
playing 'Devil's Advocate", I scrolled up to 329 generations,and stopped. If 
you put ALL it will go to 999 generations. I would reccomend choosing one page 
(your choice 4-5-6), and review, then use then up arrow to add a page to the 
preview. I choose 5, then using 9, 13, 17, 21, then 25 gives 79 pages. When I 
used ALL it took about 2 minutes to created 522 pages, but this is tied to how 
fast my laptop is, and how big my hard drive is. The bottom line is, utilize 
preview to help decide how much paper you have, then print what you can. I 
noticed that pages 523-560 are an index. Printing the equivalent pages for your 
stuff will show how big this task is, without actually printing more than a 
ream of pages. Let it run to finish.

[LegacyUG] Re Pedigree chart of Direct Line Ancestors

2009-03-05 Thread Chy Maen 


/This question is similar to Diane's

I'd like to print out a simple Pedigree line of Direct Line Ancestors 
(grandparents, no siblings etc.) -- the same sort of chart that 
appears on screen when one hits "pedigree" on the task bar.  I did a 
trial run at this several times but when it comes to "preview" that 
mini-printer on the preview screen flies out what looks like hundreds 
of pieces of paper and after waiting a full five minutes the last 
time it was till tossing out pages and not '"complete"  Compared 
to some of your DB's mine is miniscule (only a bit over 20,000 folks) 
and not all direct line grandparents of course, tho some lines are 
back to the 700's (I know many of you are way past that too).


So I wondered if anyone might tell me how to do this - horizontally, 
not vertically (have done those okay) using ordinary 8 1/2 x 11 " 
paper (glue it all together later)
Somewhere while reading "tips" I saw and now can't find instructions 
for a circular pedigree chart which was suggested as a good way of 
finding those straight line ancestors whose lines are shorter than 
the rest thus need working on - made sense but I thought the straight 
horizontal line Pedigree might show the same and I wanted to do this 
for my grandson (get him interested in history!) - and also for me to 
just be able to visualize things better.


Thank you for any assisance.
Kate
