Re: [LegacyUG] handling potential relatives
Thanks Ron; Yes, the refresh button seems to have solved the problem. And I have run across Seddon (and other branches also) families living next door to some of my known ancestors when doing census checks, and I was wondering how to keep track of them "just in case". This sounds like a sensible way to handle that, with some appropriate notes to remind me if they do link up.

When you click "View", then "Tree Finder...", you will see the "Refresh..." button. It is necessary to click that to force the program to re-count individuals in each tree. As to your original question, I always enter those who might be related into my database so that if I do find the links they are already in place to be connected.

Hi Cathy, Thanks Cathy. Refresh sure made a difference. I can now eliminate some unattached individuals that I have no idea where they came from.

Re: [LegacyUG] handling potential relatives
Art, Just to add to what Cathy has said, if you have a pedigree website (particularly a large one) then do not renumber all RINs as Legacy uses the RINs for the html file names. Simply change the individual ones.

RE: [LegacyUG] handling potential relatives
Hi Art If doing the Refresh doesn't completely cure the issue, then do a File - File Maintenance - Check/Repair and then try another Refresh of the Tree Finder. That cleared up similar issues that I managed to get.

RE: [LegacyUG] handling potential relatives
Jeff: Your unlinked "possibles" wouldn't really be lost since you could easily see them in View > Tree Finder. If I have solid source references on individuals, or especially on a small family group, I include it in my database although unlinked. Who knows? If posted, the names and sources could be of use to someone else. I have 5 unlinked trees like that and they range from two to 160 individuals. If all I have is a name and a suspicion, I'd put that in my notes (where it really can get lost!) rather than entering as individuals.
