Hi
I am fairly new with Legacy 6 (former FTM user) and I am trying to do a
descendant report and want to add sources. I can't seem to find out how to do
it.
When I go to report options, the fields are greyed out. Am I doing something
wrong? Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Debbie
I have personally entered everyone into my database. Never taken in any
GEDCOMS or other files. Not always because I didn't trust who I got it from,
but because I wanted to get a feel for everybody myself and also check if there
were someone I already had in my database.I do work quite closely
Ann,
I do the same, but use Aldfaer (a dutch geanealogyprogram) to enter the
data; I export this in gedcom format and import in Legacy because Legacy is
good in finding multipels of the same person.Guido

Debbie,
Are you certain that you are trying to produce the correct report? There are in
fact 3 types. 2 are Book Reports - Descendant and Descendant Narrative, both of
which allow Sources but the 3rd is a Descendant Chart which does not and hence
the Sources are greyed out.

Anne,
As I have looked through the last couple of days of emails I have been
pondering over this problem. Wendy has made some suggestions but I wonder if
there is another possibility.
Legacy's default is to use a Christening field rather than Baptism so have you

You are right about too lazy to spell them out. I think it all started with
instant messaging (IM). It seems children will soon not be able to spell
words correctly. I know that one of my daughter's teachers let these
abbreviations go in a paper she wrote without marking them as wrong!
I'm researching two family lines, so I can keep each line in its own Legacy
Family file. At times, I have a need to cite a source that was cited in the
other file. Is there a way to copy the source from one file to the other
without having to manually recreate it?

Hi Ron
I hadn't tried book reports yet. But. I just did and I was able to allow
sources with it. That is what I wanted. I probably wouldn't have figured
that out without your help.

The phrase name collectors seems to be used in two ways here:

download and add names from GEDCOMs for people without verifying any

I use a # at the end of questionable names, as it will sort the name
into the correct place in an alphabetic sort, but is still obvious.
You can also search for any name that contains a # to create a list of

I have two Legacy files, too. I have hesitated to put them together because
of the larger file size when the two are put together. I only have 500 in
one and 800 in the other. Will combining slow the program down? Maybe I

I'd use Privacy brackets. That makes it easy to not include them in
