[LegacyUG] Event Note for one individual not printing

  I have a rather long event note for one individual that is not printing when I try book type reports.  Notes for all other individuals print just fine.  Have I acidentiily (and unknowingly) pushed some button by mistake that is causing this?  Is it possible to save this note without retyp

Re: [LegacyUG] Confirming Proper Enter of Sources/Details

(Sorry for late response - just now checking my 100 Legacy emails...) Ron, we tend to use the WW1 registrations as evidence for birth dates, occupations, etc., so someone might not create an event as you noted, but use the source for something else. I tend to use Ancestry.com as part of my detai

Re: [LegacyUG] Alternative dates

Keith, I actually do something a little differently then using the Alt-dates. In the Notes section of the Birth field, for example, I put in a little note in [[privacy]] brackets, so that I will know what all the variations are, but will only print out one in a report, as that is all my relatives

I am playing catch-up. Carol - If you want to get rid of some of the bolding quickly, can you do a Select-All (ctrl-A) then Bold (Ctrl-B) which will bold all then another Bold (Ctrl-B) which will remove all bold. Three steps which eliminates the need to carefully highlight the bolded items. But m

David, I do things more like you (separator) than the consolidators and have found it to be much more functional and easier to change. And I really don't think that 'many' master sources are any less manageable that a 'few' master sources. I started using one master for each enumeration district

Hi Cathy Yes - you're right. The way I do it every family census report is a new Master Source - rather like every Vital Record Certificate (or BMD as we say over here). This really arose from the days before the British Census records were transcribed and made easily available, and the only

All, I absolutely need to chime in here. I have studied Mills' *Evidence* and *Quicksheet*. They very much follow the tenents of *Chicago Manual of Style* and as a result are very stilted.

I do something similar for marriages. I created a Witness (Marr) event and put the name in the description and use the notes for the relationship so my sentences read 'abc (brother of xyz) was a witness to the marriage.' Because most of my witnesses are also relatives I created a Marriage Witness (
