higher RIN than t

If the couple are joined by two marriages, then unlink is the proper procedure.
If you delete one person, both will be gone. (I just deleted by mistake, and
have not been able to find who I deleted.) Unlinking will lose the marriage
information, so if one marriage has good information and th

I migrated to Legacy from inferior programs, tested the free version for

Hm - good question! I did a bit of playing and couldn't find it - you seem

items I could add to the index - but I agree it would be more useful i
Dear John
Apologies for wrong advice in my last mail.
Rather than "Unlink" I should have said SELECT and DELETE the unwanted marriage.

If you see the same wife listed twice, select the unwanted marriage
and "DELETE" to remove the unwanted
Hi, John
If "husband and wife are both the same" - are they truly identical,
i.e. do they have same RINs?
If so, it's the same couple, but they have been linked/married twice.
Look at the couple in the family view. Does the "spouse" icon under
each person show "2"?
Click on the husband's icon to o

Having been in the computer business from 1967 (not a typo) to 1996, I do

it doesn't seem like much additional code to me.

others) ... a

This is a bit unorthodox, but if you're not using the Record ID for
anything else, you could enter something there to show your level of Link

Each husband and wife MUST have a different RINs. I do
not understand 'who are both the same'. They should
not be! Please revise your question, or check if you
have made the one person as an AKA using the other
person. Why would you merge two people into one? We
will help you, but help us.

First Unlink the two and then merge them.

Can someone let me know if it is possible to view data within the index or

Bob,
Please think about the programming time this would take and the increase in
size of Legacy and have pity on those who still download by dial-up. It is a
specialist job to correctly convert from colour to grey scale and best
handled by specialist software.

Hello Jude:
Your son must be a smart guy to make such a good choice of genealogy
programs.
I assume that your genealogy data is in some sort of file like Word or
perhaps Excel. If that's the case, it's not possible to create a GEDCOM.
You can only make a GEDCOM from a genealogy software program.
Another way to change RINs, if you are insistent, would be to use the
side-by-side view, create a new database, and drag and drop the close
relatives into the new file, then arrange the RIN numbers to suit yourself
in that small database. After you get the few correct, then import the rest

The Publishing Center is terrific ... but I have a suggestion that would
make it even better.
When outputting to/for a black/white printer, Legacy suggests converting
photos to grayscale.
I agree, but it can be an arduous task ... I copy all the photos in
C:/Legacy/Pictures to C:/Legacy
My thanx to all who responded. This is a great group!
William - Special thanx because your suggestion will meet my needs
perfectly. And, as you mentioned, will be easy to deal with re: reports,
etc.
Patricia - I use tags as you mentioned, but for more transient or temporary
items. I don't want t

Other than saying that your info is stored in My Documents you do not say

Michele, I do agree with the others. Frankly your best bet, if you don't
like the gaps in the RINS, is simply to renumber and forget about their
order as in the long term you cannot reasonably control this. If you wish to
have a reference to suit your taste I suggest
