 Is there any way to do the split screen view with one file on one monitor

 files if they were bigger.

[LegacyUG] Notes formatting

2012-03-21 Thread Neil Bell
Many times when you GEDCOM in data from another genealogy program the
notes field will not end with the appropriate period (.).  Some programs
automatically add a period at the end of a note when generating output
reports.  Legacy does not do this.

One can go into the sentence definitions edit and add the period after
the notes field.  However for notes that do contain the period this
would result in two periods at the end of the sentence.

I don't _think_ it would be very difficult to have the option of adding
a period when one is not present in the original note.  Obviously I
could be wrong here about the difficulty of doing this but I do strongly
feel this is highly desirable.  Perhaps an optional feature to add a
period could be considered much like the existing option concerning
spaces following commas in all location fields.

The enforced period would make narrative reports so much easier to read!

[LegacyUG] Pre-1850 US Census data

2012-03-18 Thread Neil Bell
I am sure most  all USA researchers know that for census records prior
to 1850, the only individual identified by name is the head of
household.  Other family members are only specified by approximate age
and the number of people in that age range.

So my question is:  if you are fairly certain that a female in the
1840 census in an age range  is the same as the spouse specified in the
1850 census and the ages are consistent, do you record that 1840 census
record in the spouse record?

Obviously since you cannot be _certain_ of that fact, what do you do?  I
am curious as to other people's opinion.
