Re: [LegacyUG] How to source Find A Grave
The problem that I see with that is that many of FAG memorials do not have any of these, they only have name, date/dates and place of burial. Since I prefer to lump sources together I want one source for FAG. I use the generic source, title it Burial Records-findagrave with the URL as http://www.findagrave.com/ . I add it to the source to the clipboard, then when I'm ready to add FAG records, I create the Event Burial Records-findagrave I add the information that's available, such as family links, personal /or tombstone photo/photos, and who submitted it and when. With the Edit DetailText/Comments, I add the URL for the particular memorial, having checked the box Add this Text to the Source Citation on Reports.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to source Find A Grave
I use the URL as a generic source, then simply paste the copied memorial number in the citation text that pops up; Example: Find A Grave Memorial# 50043453 Example of how the source could look in the sources Index at the end of the report: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi, 'Find A Grave', Find A Grave Memorial# 50043453. … or (a different way of formatting the source) 'Find A Grave' - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi, Find A Grave Memorial# 50043453. When you go to the Find A Grave website search page, simply copy and paste the memorial number …. 50043453 … into the spot for the memorial number, click on search and you’re taken directly to the sourced memorial. Each FAG memorial is assigned a unique number and there is a spot on the search page to insert this number, if known. This number is found in the very last line of each memorial, under the contributors name and date the memorial was created. Quick and easy way to locate the sourced memorial at “Find A Grave”. Oops, just read the original question. I don’t use the new source writer; still use the basic sources for formatting my sources. Will go ahead and post this, as it might help someone like me who still uses the original Legacy basic source formatting.

I made templates long before the Source Writer and still use that method. I select the template add my specifics and save as a new source. I also use the person's name as well as the Memorial #.

Re: [LegacyUG] Individual report - Family group sheet
However, you CAN link children to multiple parents, which might get you closer to what you want. AND you could create custom events for the other wives so they would show on the chosen FGS. But this is probably not what you want to do. On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 12:25 PM, RICHARD SCHULTHIES fourpa...@verizon.netwrote: If you are refering to 'blended' families, not really.

[LegacyUG] Problem with family view
Hi, Mary Yes, I do. If I go to family view, the female side is scrunched up. If I then go to pedigree view, untick that option, save, go to family view all is good. Now, I can go to pedigree view, tick the option, save and go back to family view all is still OK. I'm off to write a problem report.
