Hi Listers
I'm looking for some advice on how others handle the private check box
on events. I have some events that are on my master list as private,
but most are available for display on reports. Most of my information
is coming either from relatives or publicly available information
sources.
Hi Rob,
Many thanks, I looked all over the screen but never thought to look on the
keyboard!
From a dumb blonde!

Hi, Mitch
I'm glad you raised this.
Does anyone know why Legacy defaults to MapQuest? IMHO the maps are
very poor at least for UK locations, and I would rather have my own
choice, e.g. GoogleEarth, google maps and (for UK locations)
streetmap.co.uk which shows topographical features, houses,
It's under Customize.

Please, please, when you change the default/fixed wording in reports can you
tell us in the Update List rather than letting us find out for ourselves.
For example, in the last update the default wording of Died in 1857 about
