[LegacyUG] Alternative Names - report wording

[Larry Lachance]

Sometimes an individual will have more than one "alternate name" or
"spelling".  In some reports the default wording says "another name for (an
individual) is."  Is it possible to change THIS wording to "other names for
(an individual) include:" when more than one alternate name is added to the
list?

 

Thanks,

 

Larry

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report showing the spouse only for each of the children

[Larry Lachance]

Cathy,

Ok ... report options reset and it corrected the issue.  Not sure what 
"conditions" may have caused this however, I do travel frequently and my 
database (along with settings) goes back and forth with me between 2 pc's.  

I appreciate and thank you for your help.

Larry,
Have you reset the Report Options using the Reset button and chosen your 
options again.

If you are using the latest build, this is not something others are reporting 
for this build. I can't reproduce it but I may not have found someone with the 
right conditions.

If the Reset doesn't work, I suggest you contact Support so they can check it 
out further. supp...@legacyfamilytree.com

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report showing the spouse only for each of the children

[Larry Lachance]

Cathy, 

Thank you for the reply.  I am using the latest - "Installed Version: 
9.0.0.414" and running it with the most recent version of Windows 10 
Professional.  

Results are the same with either "Preview" or "Print" or "Preview AND Create 
PDF".

I don't understand why this occurs with a "Descendant Book" report and NOT with 
a "Descendant Chart".  Something is amiss...just don't know what or why. As an 
aside, I never updated to the prior version due to the wording bug that was 
present.  When this version (.414) was released, it appeared, that had been 
fixed and I opted to update.  There is no going back, unfortunately.  

Any ideas graciously accepted.

Larry,

I seem to remember this was a bug some time ago. Have you updated your Legacy? 
The latest update is 9.0.0.414. To check go to the Legacy Home tab to the left 
of Family View.

Is this in the Preview of the report or when you are saving a particular file 
type. I can't recall whether the bug was in all versions of the report or just 
some.

[LegacyUG] Descendant Report showing the spouse only for each of the children

[Larry Lachance]

Attempting to do a “descendant book”.  It starts with “Gabriel and his wife
Edesse”  All is perfect in the first and second parts description showing
Gabriel the son of and Edesse the daughter of, and then the marriage, etc.
Then it lists the 8 children from the marriage.  Each of the children are
the wife and her information – and the actual children are not even listed.
Here is what I get with the first two children of the couple shown…

 

The next generation repeats the same issue – children are all the
information for the wives with no children listed:

 

1.  Gabriel Pépin dit Lachance, son of Michel Olivier Pépin and Josephe
Marie Drouin, was born on 5 Jul 1819 in Saint-Jean, Île-
d'Orléans, (Montmorency), Québec, Canada,1 was baptized on 6 Jul 1819 in
(Saint-Jean-Baptiste), Saint-Jean, Île-d'Orléans,
(Montmorency), Québec, Canada,2 died on 17 Jun 1891 in L'Isle-aux-Grues,
(Montmagny), Québec, Canada3 at age 71, and was
buried on 20 Jun 1891 in (St-Antoine), L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny),
Québec, Canada.3 

 

Gabriel married Marie-Edesse Boulé, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Boule and
Marie Larrivée, on 7 Jan 1846 in (St-Antoine),
L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada.4 Marie-Edesse was born on 1
Aug 1814 in Cap-Saint-Ignace, (Montmagny),
Québec, Canada,5 was baptized on 2 Aug 1814 in (St-Ignace-de-Loyola),
Cap-Saint-Ignace, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada,5
died on 7 Jul 1874 in L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada6 at age
59, and was buried on 9 Jul 1874 in (St-
Antoine), L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada.6  

 

Children from this marriage were:


+ 2 F i. Marie-Edesse Boulé was born on 1 Aug 1814 in Cap-Saint-Ignace,
(Montmagny), Québec, Canada,7 was
baptized on 2 Aug 1814 in (St-Ignace-de-Loyola), Cap-Saint-Ignace,
(Montmagny), Québec, Canada,7 died
on 7 Jul 1874 in L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada at age 59,
and was buried on 9 Jul 1874 in
(St-Antoine), L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada.8


+ 3 M ii. Marie-Edesse Boulé was born on 1 Aug 1814 in Cap-Saint-Ignace,
(Montmagny), Québec, Canada,9 was
baptized on 2 Aug 1814 in (St-Ignace-de-Loyola), Cap-Saint-Ignace,
(Montmagny), Québec, Canada,9 died
on 7 Jul 1874 in L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada at age 59,
and was buried on 9 Jul 1874 in
(St-Antoine), L'Isle-aux-Grues, (Montmagny), Québec, Canada.10



And the lines are repeated for all of the children…

Under the Descendant Tab, everything is fine, this does not happen and if I
print a “descendant report” it too is fine.  This is only happening with the
“descendant book”.

 

Ideas, suggestions, appreciated.

 

Larry

Re: [LegacyUG] Detailed Search - How Long? Not Responding

[Larry Lachance]

Cathy,

 

I’ve been using single core for “File Maintenance” for a few years now.  It’s 
been quite some time ago since it actually “just worked”.  Gave it a try with 
the “Search” and lo and behold…worked like a champ.  I wonder if this is an 
issue that can ever be fixed… at least I know.

 

As to connectors – it was all AND.  

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Larry

Larry,
There are some strange speed issue things sometimes especially with large 
databases. There is discussion of one thing that helps in this article. It's 
counter intuitive. Use less cores.
http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-01072/9/Legacy-Family-Tree/If-Legacy-is-really-slow-try-this.html

Re dates in the search.
Just enter in the order you normally do. eg for 15 Jan 2001 I just enter 15 1 
2001
That matches my region setting date entry.

With your search you don't give the connectors between your conditions. I find 
it easier to use all AND or all OR or do two searches with the second searching 
the search list. For some reason I can't get my head around the logic of using 
the mix of AND and OR so it's quicker for me to do two searches.

After 5 minutes I get “not responding” – Somehow I think I might need 
to include the date in a specific format but don’t know what that

How long SHOULD a search like this take (in excess of 190,000 
individuals)?

I understand OS, RAM, and CPU have much to do with this however I note 
that the machine is quite fast running Windows10 Pro with 64 Gb RAM 
and Intel Core i7-8700K CPU which combined should be quite fast 
enough.  I have both the latest version of Legacy AND the latest 
updates as well.

Thanks for any insight –

Re: [LegacyUG] Telgen "Families for IOS"

[Larry Lachance]

To all who have responded, thank you.  All these years using Apple (after 
giving up my beloved Android) and I never knew you could “reclaim” a lost app.  
Learn something new every day!  Downloaded, installed and transferred the file 
without any issues.  It works great.  I too will only be using it for viewing 
my database, not making changes then coming back to synch.  Just nice to have 
it with me when I’m visiting relatives.  Thanks again to all

If you purchased the app you should be able to restore the app to a new ipad or 
phone if you don’t have it on your device. Here’s a link that may help you. 

 

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211841

 

I use the app on an occasional basis. It’s a bit awkward, but for the most part 
it has the info I want to see. I would not add to my database using the app, 
instead I use the Legacy program and then sync the data to my iPad. I use it 
for some queries and viewing.

[LegacyUG] Telgen "Families for IOS"

[Larry Lachance]

Once upon a time, when it was first introduced, I purchased and used the
"Families for IOS" app so I could keep my database with me.  The last time I
actually used it was in 2014.  Both LFT and Apple have had multiple updates
since then and I have replace the original iPad with a new (2021) product.

 

I have the need to travel with my LFT database again.  I realize there is no
option to purchase an "update" to the app and don't have an issue buying
anew.  What I am concerned about is the functionality of the app!  What few
reviews exist on the Apple App Store site are not very favorable.

 

Is there anybody here who uses the "Families" app with success or can warn
me of any issues I may encounter ahead of time?  The database is quite
large, over 190,000 individuals and contains almost 1GB of media files.  

 

Any input is appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] The Parents' Marriage Reference Has Been Removed

Thanks Brian - interesting concept and certainly a possibility after so many

The removed marriage reference may have been for a marriage between unknown and 
unknown dummy people. Depending on your view settings for unknown people those 
"Unknown" parents may have been showing as blank in family view so you were not 
aware that there was an MRIN for them.

[LegacyUG] The Parents' Marriage Reference Has Been Removed

[Larry Lachance]

I find myself with more questions after updating to the latest version.
I've always tried to "maintain" the database using "check and repair"
mostly due to the size of the database.  I've run "check and repair" for the
first time with the latest LFT version and encountered an error report that
I've not seen previously.

 

24, identical errors, with the following result:  First I get - "There are
24 Individual record(s) that reference a Parent's Marriage record that does
not exist"

 

Then it proceeds to list them, one by one - for example:

 

"Individual: RIN 3132.  The Parent's Marriage reference has been removed."

 

For the next 23 records, only the RIN is different.

 

So here's the question - WHAT marriage reference was removed?  In several
cases, I go to the Individual RIN and this individual has NO parents listed.
So is it THIS individuals parents the error is referring to (and were the
parents removed), or is it the MARRIAGE of this specific individual that is
being referred to??  For example, for the marriage of RIN 91194 to RIN
91193, there is NO marriage information to RIN 91193 AND the referenced
error RIN 9119, has NO parents listed?  

 

Just trying to figure out what has been removed.

 

Thanks to everyone who participates in this forum .

[LegacyUG] Descendant Book OR Descendant Narrative Book - Source Citation Issue

[Larry Lachance]

I've recently updated to the latest version of LFT (9.0.0.414) for the first
time in over 2 years.  Uncertain if it's MY issue or a software issue or not
but.

 

When printing either a Descendant Book OR a Descendant Narrative Book -
using the father of the family as the "descendants of"  I've encountered the
following issue:

 

IF, in the formatting of the "Report Options" - under the "Sources" tab, I
check "Print Source Citations" AND I check "As footnotes" - the report
prints the correct NUMBER of children (like 3 or 4 or 5 of them) BUT it
prints the names of each using just the name and information for THE SPOUSE
for each of the children.

 

As an example, if John Smith and Mary Jones had 3 children, the report lists
"children from this marriage" as:

 

Mary born on etc.

Mary born on etc.

Mary born on etc.

 

THEN If I change the Sources tab to checking "Print Source Citations" and I
check "As endnotes after each generation" OR as "endnotes at the end of the
book", then the list of children is now correct.

 

As an example, John Smith and Mary Jones had 3 children, the report now
lists the children correctly as:

 

Herman born on etc.

Elijah born on etc.

Sally born on etc.

 

Hoping this explanation makes sense as I would like to fix it although, if I
have to, I can live with the source citations at the end of the generation
as opposed to footnotes on each page.

 

Thanks yet again for help from everyone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Citations - Default Wording

Thanks for that idea Cathy - as it stands, I've used it so many times, I will

I'll leave it alone.  Future citations I may just use your idea as I do like it.

Larry,
You can override source citations but it's usually easier to put the data into 
one of the other boxes - at the end of the URL you are entering and leave the 
item box blank or in the Source Detail Comment and mark it to be included in 
the citation.

[LegacyUG] Source Citations - Default Wording

[Larry Lachance]

I opted to use the “SourceWriter” for LDS Quebec church records some time
ago.  The detail information screen for the source includes:

Title:

Item of Interest:

FHL Film Number:

Item No.:

 

It is the “Item No.:” that I am trying to resolve.The source prints (by
way of example) – 

 

"Québec > Saint-Roch-de-Québec > Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1854-1855,"
Mariage # 29 - 1854; FHL microfilm
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99Q-99ZL-Q, item Image 32 of
634.

 

I’m using the “Item No.:” field to include the Image number on the LDS page.
When it prints the citation, the word “item” precedes the Image number I’ve
used.  I have always added “Image A of B” to the Item No. and therefore the
printing includes both.

 

I would like to change “item” either to capitalize the “I” in Item OR simply
eliminate from the printed document.

 

I know there are many places to override “sentences” in LFT BUT, is there
someplace I can overwrite the word “Item” in this source template?

 

Thanks

 

Larry Lachance

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports

[Larry Lachance]

I am going to chime in here!  I have my own website with a page devoted to 
recommending Legacy Family Tree based on the commendable merits of the 
software.  After waiting for so long for this “bug” to be fixed, as well as 
other issues, I too must consider a change.  Seems like since MyHeritage took 
over, they don’t care as much as before.  It’s too bad because the company 
risks losing more consumers as time passes.  I am hoping that MyHeritage is not 
following in the footsteps of Ancestry and Family Tree Maker where the ultimate 
goal was to bring everybody’s database “online”.  Many simply don’t want to do 
that.

 

Agree with P Hays – unhappy is putting it mildly!

just have to do that, although I really don't want to do that. And if I could 
get the version before this bug was introduced, I would use it, but 
unfortunately I updated all my computers to release 9.0.0.393.  I want to print 
a new edition of my book, and surely can't now all of a sudden print one 
without the parents of the spouses and children. I'm really disappointed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Footnote/Endnote Citation and Subsequent Citations in Reports

[Larry Lachance]

Cathy,

 

Thanks for this helpful workaround but with thousands of entries already in 
place and my late discovery of the report dilemma, I’m quite at a loss for a 
way to fix what I’ve already done as each URL, as you know, is unique to the 
citation. 

 

While I can use the “override tab” for everything future, perhaps it would be a 
suggestion for future builds to allow a switch to force the primary 
“Footnote/Endnote Citation” to report on all instances.

 

Thanks for this reply – IF anybody else has a solution, I’m all ears.

Larry,
I think the only way is to use the Override tab and copy and paste the citation 
into the subsequent citation and check to use that. 

I do this for Newspapers but hadn't thought whether I should be doing it for 
FamilySearch citations with URL. I've been putting the image URL in comments 
and marking them for inclusion.

Larry,

It is not possible to select a single tab from the clipboard when the clipboard 
contains multiple tabs. The whole point of the multi-tab clipboard was to allow 
a use to load a set of sources which they can apply simultaneously.

To achieve what you want to do (have multiple sources and able to choose a 
single one for use) you can use the Save Clipboard feature. You can save up to 
ten clipboards.  You would first set your clipboard to hold only one source at 
a time. Load the Ancestry Record to the clipboard then save that clipboard in 
one of the 10 slots. Set up the FamilySearch source on the clipboard and save 
it in a second slot.

Now when you want to use one of those sources, open your clipboard. Load the 
source you want to use then apply it to the records.

[LegacyUG] Source Clipboard - Using as a submenu

[Larry Lachance]

When using the "Source Clipboard" - I find (and according to the help
section) that when I use it to add a source, ALL of the sources in the
clipboard (ie; tab 1, tab2, tab3) are added to the field I want to provide
the source for.  What I would like (and not sure if the clipboard will work
in this manner) is to use the clipboard to choose the source from just a
single tab depending on my need.  

 

For example, I sometimes use Ancestry to find a record and then I will find
the same record at FamilySearch.  BUT - I only want to cite one record or
the other, not both.  So what I'm trying to find is a way to choose tab1 or
tab 2 as my source.  I know I can add both at the same time and then delete
the one I don't want but that defeats my purpose. 

 

Another example - I use Quebec parish records often.  Sometimes I am switch
my source from one parish to the adjacent parish because some families have
baptisms, marriages and deaths between the two adjacent parishes. While the
master source is the same, ie; Quebec Parish Records, the detail is
different, ie; Notre Dame de Quebec vs. Notre Dame de l'Assomption.  Tab 1
would be the Quebec and Tab 2 would be the l'Assomption.  I would like to be
able to select accordingly.

 

Is it possible to use the source clipboard to choose which tab I want to use
for a particular citation without adding all of the sources in the clipboard
at the same time?

 

Confused? Hopefully this question makes sense.

 

Regards,

 

Larry

Do you have any picture of the people in the "other tree" - the ones 
that you want to make stand out?  IF NOT, you could create an image 
which is simply a rectangle of a certain colour or a large cross or some 
other symbol and attach that to each individual, so it shows as their 
portrait picture in Family View.

custom tags as well.  Yes, a separate tree would seem the likely solution BUT, 
the surname is the same as my family focus, just not from the same individual.  
However, in multiple instances the families ARE actually related due to 
marriages so I want them as part of the same tree, just want to have an 
identifier that says the surname is not descended from the same original 
couple.  

All said, I think I've got it.  I only wish there were a more blatant way to 
make that identification on the LFT individual screen.  But, since the current 
tag color can be changed, it works... 

Thanks for the input

Larry,

If they are not related, then you would not stumble upon them while 
traversing your main tree in Legacy, except when searching or using master 
lists. If your focus is your TNG site, then it seems to me that using 
multiple trees in TNG would be ideal - and separate Legacy files.

I have 4 TNG sites, one per grandparent. But I only have one main Legacy 
file, plus small files for separate trees much like yours. For example, 
members of my Ward line have Y-DNA matches with descendants of another Ward 
line. We do not know who the common ancestor is. I created a separate Legacy 
file to model that other line. On TNG, my Ward site has two trees, one from 
an export of just the Ward line from my main Legacy file, and the other from 
that separate file. On the TNG site, each Individual information page 
clearly shows which tree that person is in. Same with search results.

Larry,

No you can't get the background to change colour etc.
You can include your hashtag as one of your 5 fields that display on
Family View.

You can use the Legacy style gedcom with TNG. In fact I think it's
recommended that you do. Hashtags can be included in it and displayed on
TNG. Sorry I don't do it myself but know that it is done. When you
choose the Legacy style and then see the the list of tags exported under
the Customise button, you'll see it includes Hashtag.

[LegacyUG] Exporting to Gedcom with Hashtag information - Identifying specific individuals

[Larry Lachance]

I am looking for suggestions/best way to handle - this is a combination
question that involves Legacy Family Tree and TNG The Next Generation of
Genealogy Sitebuilding.  

 

For more than 20 years everything with my tree has been great but, as in
life, "stuff happens"!  

 

I want to add a large group of individuals to my Legacy database who share
the same surname BUT are not descended from the "original immigrant" and in
fact, they are not actually related as they are descended from a completely
different surname.  Actually this group "should be" a separate family tree
but that's not what I want to do because I want them IN my tree because of
the common surname today.

 

What I want is a way to "tag" or "hashtag" or place a marker or color on the
"family view"  for anyone related to this particular name such that it is
immediately clear that the individual is of another family group.  I suspect
this can be accomplished by using the tag or hashtag feature without issue
but I'd prefer a change in color, or a big exclamation point on the screen
to tell me "this individual is from the OTHER family"  which makes for quick
ID purposes.  I know I can change the colors of the "tag" based on which tag
I'm using but I'd like a blatantly obvious change like changing the
background color of the Name field in the Family View based on the tag or
hashtag used???  Is this even possible?

 

Something like the above would remedy my Legacy question but...

 

.then there is the hard part (that's because I'm not sure how to do it or
even it's possible) - I want to be able to export the file to a standard
GEDCOM 5.5.1 file AND have those individuals I've identified somehow marked
such that when I "publish" the GEDCOM to my TNG - The Next Generation
online database, those I have tagged are separately identified.  Is it
possible that using a custom event, such as already exists like _TAG Record
Tag 1, would work?  

 

I will also post this query to the forum related to the other database for
input.

 

Suggestions appreciated.

[LegacyUG] HTML Code showing up - where it's not supposed to

[Larry Lachance]

Using Ver. 9.0 but also previous versions.

 

When adding an event to an individual, for example an Obituary, I use the
"built-in" Bold and Italics feature icons for some of the text in the
"Notes" window.

 

Everything works great when printing reports, charts, etc. (and maybe I
shouldn't complain) but I can't help noticing that every time I open the
"Individual's Information" window, in the "Events/Facts" area that I see the
"Age", "Event/Fact", and "Date" are normal text but under "Desc/Place/Notes"
I find HTML Code for the text that I had changed in the "Notes" window.  

 

For example Dudley Do-Right 1910-1950

 

WHY does this code show up in the "Individual's Information" window and is
there a way to prevent it somewhere in settings or any of the actual program
files perhaps?  

 

It's not a problem, just a bug that I can't help noticing.

 

 

Larry

[LegacyUG] Legacy 9 - "hang time" when adding or editing individuals

[Larry Lachance]

While not in every instance, there are enough times when this happens that I
get quite frustrated entering or editing individuals - 

 

This happens when I click to ADD a new individual OR click to EDIT an
existing individual.  

 

The individual "window" opens and I complete the individual information.  I
click on "Save" and then, more often than not, I wait.  

 

Clicking "Save" - "freezes" visible activity for anywhere from 2 seconds to,
on occasion, more than 10 seconds until finally, the window closes.  I can't
help but wonder if this is related to the "research" of the individual I'm
working on (ie; LDS, MyHeritage, etc.) as I do have the hints enabled.

 

Anyone with suggestions, I'm happy to listen.

[LegacyUG] Spouse #2 - when there isn't any when "checking for duplicates"

[Larry Lachance]

Just checking with everyone on this to see if this is a known issue with
Legacy 9, a reported issue, or my own issue only.

 

When adding a new individual, I have legacy set to "check for duplicates".
When it comes up with similar names, the window opens and shows the possible
duplicates, one by one.  What I find odd is that in each case, if the
potential duplicate found is a married individual, and they have only one
spouse, that spouse shows up as "Spouse #2" in all cases.

 

While it does not seem to be causing any issues, it does seem a bit odd to
me and therfore this question.  Apologies if this has been asked before but
I didn't find reference to earlier query's, if there were any.

Go to the Sources TAB and unclick option "If event has multiple citations ~

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 9 right click delete wife's father or mother bug

[Larry Lachance]

Although I did not submit a “bug” report to anyone, this sounds very similar to 
the “right-click” issue I previously inquired about on this forum. The 
difference being, I wasn’t trying to delete the wife’s father, rather I was 
trying to add a father or mother to the wife OR link to existing parents…

 

For example, using a wife for whom I never had parents before, when I right 
click on the “add father” or “add mother” -  the window that opens is the 
individual view of the person (the wife in this case) I am trying to add the 
parents to.

 

Same issue – if I have the parents’ names already in place and I right click on 
the name of either one, a pop-up allows me to click “edit the father” or “edit 
the mother”.  When clicking on either choice, the individual view for the child 
(again the wife but not either parent) opens for editing purposes.  

 

Can’t help but wonder if this isn’t related somehow.

 

Larry

Version 9 Bug:

 

I'm using version 9.0.0.169 and tried to right click delete a wife's father. 
Result was the husband was deleted instead. I've reproduced the problem with 
the sample database and found if you right click to delete the wife's mother it 
would delete the wife instead.

[LegacyUG] Ver. 9 - Right Click - Family View - issue or not

[Larry Lachance]

Using the new version, in the family view, I've found, at least in my case,
what may be an issue.  Wondering if anyone else had had this?

 

For example, using a wife for whom I never had parents before, when I right
click on the "add father" or "add mother" -  the window that opens is the
individual view of the person I am trying to add the parents to.

 

Same issue - if I have the parents' names already in place and I right click
on the name of either one, a pop-up allows me to click "edit the father" or
"edit the mother".  When clicking on either choice, the individual view for
the child (not either parent) opens for editing purposes.  

 

I wasn't this way in ver. 8.

 

Anybody else experiencing "right-click" issues?

 

Thanks

[LegacyUG] Pictures in Reports - Marriage Photo

[Larry Lachance]

Legacy allows you to place a picture for an individual that, when printing a
descendant narrative report, displays the individual picture adjacent to the
individual.

Legacy also allows you to add a picture to the marriage, in the same manner
as the individual.

HOW do you get the marriage picture to print in an descendant narrative or
descendant book report?

I don't want to confuse this and I want to keep it as simple as possible.
Searching the user groups archives has not been successful.

I have three pictures for any given couple; (1) the husband, (2) the wife,
(3) the marriage.  Husband and wife I can get to show up, marriage picture
will not.

Am I reading the list archives correctly when it says the ONLY way to get a
marriage photo to print is to create a special event and name it something
like "marriage photo".???

As an aside, would someone help me here and explain, WHY, legacy would have
the "add image" to the marriage field when it appears that there is nothing
that can be done with it except having the knowledge that it is there and
you can add it to a scrapbook?  In fact, I'd love for it to show up in the
family view display just like individuals do, but that's another question
for another day.

Show the marriage photo in the "descendant book report" is the key question
of the day.

Thanks for any help that might be provided.

Larry Lachance
