Hello Terri,
Thank You so much for replying.
Good news is that the problem is solved.
I had already done problem 6 & 7 yesterday. The problem continued.
I thought I knew how to properly attach a child.
So I did so by clicking on the father choosing add child, linking to
existing person.

True enough - I just meant a variation from the spelling that seems to be
the most used for the individual or family

find for any individual. - seperate from the AKA's

I really like it. MMFT shows migration paterns, shows where your

county. Plot those. Print the maps, pdf, save as image (jpg) etc.

time periods and more.Tim
I agree with Dave here but the question remains where to record the variations.
I mostly record them in the sources - in any transcription I put
exactly what is there. If necessary I put the more expected variation
in editorial square brackets.
If it's a major variation I put it in AKA.

Hi Charles,
It almost sounds as if you have your grandfather entered twice into
Legacy, once under each name - so that he has two RINs. That's the
only way the Jackson family would disappear from a Wheeler descendant
report. If so, you need to merge them.
Only you can decide which name to u

Hello Everyone,
I know it is a bad to ask for help. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I head that MMFT was not all that helpful and was based really on online
