Ron,
Not so, unless I'm missing something..
If you edit person A, it updates the "Modified Date" (which shows in bottom
right of Family view).
If you go to another family and edit only the marriage, it affects persons B
& C, and it displays an updated date in the same place.

You might be able to use one of the tags in Legacy. Choose one that you'll
display on the family page and tag everyone for whom you have the necessary
link proof.

If you attach a source to the Father (Rel) and Mother (Rel), is there
any way to make this source information show up in reports, or would
one have to create an actual event, such as a Relationship event? If
one uses the Father (Rel) and Mother (Rel), it would be nice if the

Toxanne,
No there isn't. But I wouldn't bother because (a) you would loose definition
by doing so as neither the gif nor the jpg are lossless and (b) if the
definition is poor it will not improve it. It can be done using a variety of
software of which Irfan View is just one.

My apologies, Mike, you are quite correct. Unusually I didn't check this as
the date at the bottom of the page changes. Then I though maybe it didn't
show unless a source was added which then shows up in the individual's
sources, but it makes no difference - still no show.

John,
Before you start, ask yourself this question: Do most of the people in
your database have proved links to their parents? If so, then the ones
you want to mark visibly would be the ones that have yet to be proven.
So whatever recommendations you get, I would suggest you try to do it

Well, your daughter is correct. Legacy stores the "path" (the location of
the folder on the computer) where each picture is.
You will probably need to do a "Backup Multimedia Files" - then restore the

would be in that group of 383 non-related individuals. I think I will
