Good point, Kristen. There is a BIG difference between the IGI and the
Ancestral File. If you are searching from within Legacy there is a thing at
the bottom of the screen that you can click that will take you to the IGI
page itself and you can see immediately if it is an extracted record from

I actually treat both the same. If Aunt Mary tells me that Cousin John was born
then I make an event InfoRcvd that records the fact that Mary said so
but I do not make an Birth event for cousin John based on that info. I make an

Is there anyway to print the relationship i.e 4th Great grandfather to the
