Re: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report
Kris wrote I'm looking forward to seeing how others make use of the Individual Report. I don't very often have to print a Report, but the one I preview on screen most is the Individual Report.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report
Cathy Vallevieni wrote I am struggling (as many others have) with putting residences and other common events in both the husband and wife's Events rather than one time in the Marriage Events. I don't use Marriage Events for facts/events which relate to the Family (which may or may not include children) but only for facts/events which relate specifically to the marriage, such as honeymoon, separation, divorce. For this reason I do think it is a lack that Marriage Events are not included on an Individual Report because if one sees, for example, that a person had more than one spouse it would be good to know whether they were divorced or widowed. This sort of Marriage Event is an important aspect of an individual's life, after all. Although I am happy to repeat such Family Events as Residence, Census and so on, it doesn't seem logical to me to enter specifically Marriage Events individually for each partner. -- 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
RE: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report
I probably use Individual Report more than any other. I have several thousand names in my file. I often get queries through Ancestry or GenesReunited about someone in my tree. There is no point is sending the whole file to the person because it will be a large file and possibly overwhelm them if they are only just starting out. So I tag a few generations around the person that they are enquiring about then export an Individual Report as a PDF file. I don't use Ancestor or Descendant because I will often want to give more detail on people who would not be included in one of these reports. I sometimes export a couple of charts from that area and include them in the PDF file. I could probably give the same information with a series of Ancestor and Descendant Reports but there would be a lot of duplication.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report
I don't put any events in the marriage - just marriage, divorce. My reason has nothing to do with reports, though - I just like to see everything when I am looking at the individual screen, rather than having bits of info scattered about. I would actually prefer to have the marriage itself more incorporated into the individual screen. The individual screen of TMG is the only thing I still miss a bit, although I much prefer Legacy. The TMG individual screen is a little like our chronology page, except that it is directly editable (not just editable through the pop-up of the individual screen).

The Individual Report easily provides me with a timeline for the person, and helps guide further research. It along with the Family Group Sheet, and Descendant Book report, are the 3 reports I use the most. The only thing I put under Marriage is the marriage. It makes no sense to me to record things like Census or Residence as a Marriage Event but to each his own: that is the beauty of Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report
I mainly print individual reports b/c it seems to be the only report where relationships to mother and father show up properly sourced. There is a bug causing them to show up incorrectly in some instances on the family group sheet. It looks better than a family group sheet does for a person who never married. It's also a good report to show a blended family on one sheet. If the individual married twice, you can see in one place his first spouse and kids and his second spouse and kids. - Original Message From: Charles W Aubin cwaub...@telus.net To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 3:38:15 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Reason to Print An Individual Report I look at at it differently. An individual report is for everyone from the date of birth until they get married. It includes all childhood info, residences, schools and church attended, friends, pets, hobbies, clubs, jobs, etc. If you never get married or die at an early age, this is where your information is found. When you marry, you are now a family member and info is added accordingly.

Cathy Vallevieni Orange County, CA Hi Cathy The way I see it, an INDIVIDUAL report is just that a report on the individual and should not include family events that's the job of the FAMILY REPORT. Individual reports only need to mention that the subject was married. I have always included Family residence in marriage events, also holidays, and in one case were the where the parents went back to High School in later life. -- Regards, Laurence E Stephenson http://mc2.vicnet.net.au/home/lauries/web/index.html I am Researching:- Butcher...Stroud, Gloucestershire, England Fortune...Berwickshire, Scotland Garlick...Liverpool, Lancashire, England Mee...Kilflyn, Limerick, Ireland (Palatine) Payne.Washingborough, Lincolnshire, England Ritchie...Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, Scotland StephensonPickering, Yorkshire, England Wittick..
