Re: [LegacyUG] New TreeDraw V3?

Generations did this, as does Reunion. And do it very very well. Things move easily and borders, photos etc can be added. Family Historian also does it, but the chart is basic. My opions anyway. Legacy (or one of the add ons) needs this chart. It is the best for family reunions. And only take

I agree with the point. My thoughts are to ask the programmers 1. how difficult is it to add edittable phrases to the BMD lines, in the same way as marriage sentences are editable on the marriage page. This would also be in the same way as Event sentences are created, but as an alternate to the cu

I won't guarantee that I will be able to respond to any questions/answers I get here, since I might lose my internet tomorrow. But I thought I might try. I usually send a copy of my (small) GEDCOM zip files to my Gmail address, for offsite backup. Tonight, I got an error message from Yahoo mail. M

[LegacyUG] Norwegian birth place question

Those of you working with Norwegian genealogy are familiar with the question of birth places, i.e., on which farm was someone born. For example, Olea was born on Foss in Grue, Hedmark, Norway. With the default format, the output is "Olea was born in Foss, Grue, Hedmark, Norway" and that i

Re: [LegacyUG] New TreeDraw V3?

Ron Yes - GenBox insets the genealogical links between all the boxes - which you have to do by hand in TreeDraw. These links are "active" so if you move a son's box further away from his father's box then the link follows the box and extends as necessary. You could, for example, move the son

David, when you say " Yes you can move boxes and lines around the page in TreeDraw by selecting them - but the links don't remain between a moved box and a non-moved box. In GenBox the link between two boxes remains where ever you move the boxes to on the page." are you merely saying that Genb

Jeff I also use a GEDCOM file from Legacy and then inport it into GenBox - and this has worked perfectly well for me for several years. Another advantage of GenBox is that it can produce an "All in One" chart containing everybody. I'm not aware of any other charting programme that does this.

It would be nice to have an option of how to present those who are "not related", but referred to as grandma or uncle so-and-so because they do have more of a relationship than a total stranger and did marry into the family.  My father remarried when I was in high school & had a second family.
