RE: [LegacyUG] wills and letters of administration

Christine, I don't have the answer to all of the different types of probate records, but I enter wills as Events twice, for example: Will Dated- 3 Nov 1851 - Durham Co., Ontario, Canada Will Probated - 1 Jan 1852 - Durham Co., Ontario, Canada This is especially helpful when a death date ca

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with box size for Family Group Record report

Hi Pat, I've been trying to reproduce your problem and finally have managed to by increasing the font size for the Data from 10 to 12. It's possible that it could also be reproduced with more data in the other fields. So one fix is to drop your data font size. Another fix if this is for an E

Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a GEDCOM in the first place...

Hi Roxanne, If you haven't created any Gedcoms in that folder then it won't have any gedcoms showing. This is the screen where you name your Gedcom file in File Name box at the bottom next to the Save button. If you chose an existing file, then you would overwrite it - which is probably not

The codes I use for my User Ids is the 4 main lines I am researching. Harris is Paternal Grandfather, Miller is my Paternal Grandmother. Weatherwax is my mother's line and Zamora is my husband's line. When my Harris and Miller lines merge I use the code H&M to show that. Since I don't have any

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with box size for Family Group Record report

Wayne, I don't use the Legacy "Q" system but would point out that the quarterly *Indexing System* is only idiotic to those who know nothing about our long history and the origination of the system - long before any other country had any system at all! Ron Ferguson ___

RE: [LegacyUG] Help with box size for Family Group Record report

Pat, I do not think it is possible to change the size of the box from within Legacy but it is possible to do this in a word processor. The basic problem, however, is that a date range is not a vaild date for an event so the program does not expect so many charcaters in the field. An event i

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with box size for Family Group Record report

This is a real peeve of mine ... and the lack of flexible sizes for the print areas is only one part of the problem. I get a lot of those printing results too since the program does not have the ability to have separate "from" dates and "to" dates in events. For instance, I attended X school f

Re: [LegacyUG] wills and letters of administration

There is no real rule about how to get these things in the computer, only about the documentation for them. For the will and stuff, I use Events, because they frequently take a lot of time and court appearances, sales of goods, etc. There may also be orphans court proceedings, contesting of the wil

[LegacyUG] Help with box size for Family Group Record report

Is there a way to change the size of the various boxes for events when printing a Family Group Record repot? I have, in the date column, 1883-Jan 1884. It looks fine on the screen under the persons page; however, when I try to print it, I get "1883-Jan 1~". I am assuming the ~ means there is

[LegacyUG] wills and letters of administration

I would be grateful for some advice on where to enter wills, letters of administration etc. Should these be sources attached to a person's death or entered as events? I have checked the training videos, help and the archives but this subject does not seem to have come up before. Appreciate your

Hi Pat, (Sorry Cathy - I usually snip the bottom, but must have missed this one) Cathy describes what I meant - I probably would have been better saying "Index View" rather than "Index Tab" but we are talking about the same thing. For what you require, as Cathy says, it is probably easier to
