others it just says Event.

I am not sure that this would be the most effective way of finding what the OP
asked for, as it will return all the individuals who have *any* connection with
that location, and not just residence. For example, I have never lived in the

Hi Ron,
I suspect few users of Legacy are as rigorous in entering Residence
events for everyone. I'd never find everyone associated with a place
your way. I know I rarely enter residence events for any other than
direct line ancestors. For others in the 19th century, most of my
information co
Ah, Cathy.
Now I understand why we have had similar discussions in the past. I do not use
Census Events and *only* use censuses as Sources for other events eg Residence,
Name, Occupation etc etc.
Hence I have these events for *all* my individuals - if applicable.

Thank you to everyone who has replied to my question. I should have
clarified that it was the program that I was trying to transfer and I now
realise this isn't possible.
I'm still using Legacy 5 although I'm happy to upgrade to Legacy 6. I'll
spend this weekend upgrading and transfering my file
Can anyone please let me know if Legacy 6 Deluxe and the Charting System are
compatible with Vista Premium?
Thanks

I hope that this is not an incorrect posting but I did see the programme

I think your problem is straight forward:
- go to your Master Location List
- locate the location you are interested in
- on the right side, click on "Show List"
- tag those records (or print the list)
- then do what you want (e.g. print family group sheets, etc.)

I also do not use Census events. I list all items from a census to
appropriate events: name, residence, birth, occupation, education,
real estate, etc and use the census as a source. So if I see a
residence for 1920, for example, I can easily see what the source is,
whether it's a census or dir

My thoughts are that Occupation is what is your job. Employment is where
do/did you work for what dates.
For example, your occupation might be Nurse. Employment would be the dates
that you worked at a particular hospital.
