RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant Book embedded photos

Ill, ask the obvious! The usual reason for the red cross in a little box is that the program cannot find the pictures. You haven't moved or renamed them have you? If they were on disc you will need the disc in. If they were used in the Legacy program eg (Family View) are they still there? Ron

RE: [LegacyUG] Argyll or Argyllshire?

In a typical British manner there is no standard way. In the case of Argyll both are correct, personally I use the latter, as I would with Gloucester. BTW Argyllshire no longer exists and since 1975 has ben split between the Highland and Strathclyde Regions. Note that some counties such as

RE: [LegacyUG] Argyll or Argyllshire?

Rob, I was advised by a respected Scotsman in Scotlandthat for purposes of Scottish research, it is proper to use "shire" at the end of the county only when the town and the county name are the same. I don't follow that advice, although I am sorely tempted to at times. "Ayr, Ayrshire" looks so

The Legacy MRIN filing plan is the best that I have seen, but it seems to be somewhat costly. I found small tabs made by Avery at the local Staples stationers in Bangor. The product is #11404. There are 12 small tabs, and software is available to run through your computer to print the
