Hi
I have recently done several merges in Legacy and have just found that it
has corrupted my information.
I did the merge thru split screen and then drag and drop individuals and

Hi, I used to use Family Tree Maker (FTM) but switched for

I keep obits, death notices, and the like, in Death Notes, accessed by

In Legacy, you record the father and mother like you would any

In a word, no.
Your SOURCE is the book...one of many, hopefully. You use it to document

about the book in the master source...who wrote it, publishing details if
