Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes in Family Group Record Report
Thanks to all that tried to help. I use to put the family information from a census record in my source but changed the way I did it when I saw a Legacy training CD. It was demonstrated that you put the family information from the census in events notes. I thought it was a great way to see all infor. quickly. The downfall - I didn't realize at the time that the notes will appear on a family group sheet report, when I just want to see the event on the group sheet. Brian the other suggestion I made years ago was also from an idea that I got from Legacy home page (Legacy news). Using the MRIN number to file. My suggestion was to separate the RIN/MRIN numbers on report options. When using this method of filing, you do not use the RIN number. So wouldn't it make since to only show the MRIN on reports. All the other numbers (RIN) on the reports are too confusing for someone who is looking at them that does not know much about genealogy. I love the ideas that we receive from Legacy but than when we found out that things don't work as quite as well as we thought they would. I did get the impression from several people that I talked too over the *years* (cruise, shows, internet) that the MRIN would be a great idea and easy to do.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Notes in Family Group Record Report
Kim, The printing of RINSs in reports is optional, and I would strongly resist any attempt to remove this option as they are the main reference for individuals and I use them constantly.

RE: [LegacyUG] Event Notes in Family Group Record Report
Ron I think the point Kim was making is that you can't print MRINs on reports without also printing RINs. Like Kim I file all my papers by marriage and therefore use MRIN as a reference.

Jerri Grimley wrote I also enter all the individuals on a census as I find it a quick way to see the group dynamics of the family at a point in time. Where do others enter this data? I enter all the information about a particular individual in a Census in the Description field for the Census Event and then list the full household and other notes (such as, John's brother was living next door) in the Notes field. Because the Description is the only thing which changes each time, it does not take long to enter Census information for everyone. As the Description gives *all* the Census information and I include the full address in the Location, I do not usually have separate Occupation or Address Events for anyone unless I have information which is different to what is in the Censuses. -- 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

Make those notes private. There are different 'flavors' of privacy. Check out the varieties (in help).

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes in Family Group Record Report
If I make the notes private on the event screen, than the event will not show up on the reports. I would like the events to show but exclude the notes.

Hi Kim, Have you tried using the privacy brackets? Anything you [[put inside double square brackets like this]] is regarded as private by Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes in Family Group Record Report
Oh, I forgot to include, The privacy brackets [[ ]] might work but that is like a do over on your whole file. I hope by using a software program, it would make it easier for a person instead of giving a headache. Thanks for submitting the idea to Legacy support but I'm not sure if that would help. I submitted the same idea about 4 times now in person and online and I get the same response. Something like this, No problem that should not be a problem and I will get it submitted.
