Thank you for the advice JLB. Your suggestion was much appreciated,
and it did the trick.

Sam,
Sorry for the confusion. You seemed to say that your cousin would not install
Legacy, if so he will not be able to read the file. Of course you should be
able to read it OK, but you are correct in thinking that Legacy cannot run two

There is no best program Rodney, there are a lot of programs that will
produce wall charts and as professional tree printers we have them all.
Every program that can produce wall charts/trees has it's own

I would like to change the sentence structure of the basic report text. For
example, in my current Descendant Report I generate the following narrative:
4. Jacobus Jan WIELHOUWER was baptized on March 26, 1752 in Wouw,
Noord-Brabant, Netherlands and died on November 14, 1834 in
Peter.
I put the name of the church in the Location field.

I always hesitate when I read of an individual who is referred to as being of
a place. As in:
Maria Schmidt married John Bender, of Duxbury.
What exactly does that mean? Does it mean he was a native of Duxbury, hence
born there and I would document it in Legacy as such? Or does it mean that
Interesting question, Nancy. I would interpret usage in your example to
mean the person lived at the place noted at that time (and may or may not
have been born there).
However, there is also a similar usage of the word of that wouldn't
necessarily mean that the person lived in the location
Nancy, I always interpret it as a location at the time of the event. I'd also
love to fill in those birth/death places but without proof, they remain empty.

I think you are right to hesitate as basically very little can be inferred

can rarely go back and ask them what they meant. Frequently it does seem to

Ron,
I must not have explained myself correctly. What I was trying to say, from
an earlier email from Geoff Rasmussen, is you can still use the present way
of sourcing or you will be able to use the templates. But there will not be
an auto update from the old sources to the new templates.
I have a man that was a merchant seaman from about 1947 to abt 1960.
Ancestry.com has him listed on numerous crew lists. This includes the ship
name, the date, his position on board, etc. I would like to include all the
available info about him, but am not sure of the best way.
Should I enter

Joyce, If this person were in my tree, I would use one employment
event, then list the range of dates he is listed as 1947-1960. In the
notes, I would indicate the various positions he held, since that is
interesting, and maybe a few of the names of the ships. Then in the
source, I would enter all

The icon at the top of the screen looks like a bunch of dates with a 6 on
it. When you select it, there are three possible screens showing at the
top - 'Month Claendar', 'Year Calendar', and 'Date Calculator'.
In the notes, I would indicate the various positions he held, since that is

It's also on the individual info screen on the marriage info screen.
Since that's where I would typically use the date calculator, I did not
see a need to also have it at the top of the screen constantly.

If I understand your question correctly you need to click on the icon that
show multiple wife's and select sort to put them in the correct order of
marriage. Also you need to indicate on the first wife it the marriage ended
in divorce or death.
I am still new at this so take it with a grain
We've had quite animated discussions about the pros and cons of using
prepositions with places and where to put them in Legacy. They can be
used for different purposes. For example, I might know that my relative
was in Los Angeles for a particular event, but not yet have a document

Right and I do the same, so it would read like this:
