Ruth, 1. Marriage wording options "Married someone" for an unknown spouse. I have entered a problem report on this issue. Legacy will not let you delete the "someone" from the marriage wording when the spouse is unknown. 2. Blanking of the name list when you deleted an AKA. I tested this but

JL, thank you for what looks like a workable solution for me. I have to ask, is my Registration Number the same as my Customer Number? Do I uninstall Ver. 7 before I install Ver. 6? or because I'm installing Ver. 6 to another folder, can I leave Ver. 7? Kirsten, are you going to try this? goin

Ron, Minor point. Whilst copyright law does vary from country to country, both the US and Great Britain (plus many others) are signatories to the Geneva Accord on Copyright. This, in effect, means that US copyright has right of law in Britain, and British copyright enjoys similar rights in the

Michelle - I have over 30,000 names in my Legacy database. I would love to go to some other genealogy program that works. How difficult will it be for me to be sure all my data transfers to the new program - huge I would say. My anger comes from the fact that Ver. 6 worked fine. If there are ad

All I know is Legacy is still 100 times better than FTM bugs or no bugs. Part of the problem is that Legacy had hundreds of people pressuring them to get Version 7 out so maybe the released it too early. I am sure that with Version 8 they will keep it very hush hush until they are really ready

Jess, Details of copyright law vary from country to country but broadly speaking facts cannot be copyrighted, however the presentation can. So to reproduce somebody else's timeline, for example, would be a breach of copyright, but to compile one oneself by culling the dates and places from a v

I was recently persuaded by a friend to switch to Legacy, and so my only experience of the programmes is confined to Version 7. After a month or so I must confess, for all the reasons given previously, to now being less than taken with it. I feel there is a very good programme in there, but it's

I tend to be as accurate as possible with respect to things like township, city, district or whatever and with respect to borderchanges; I then use the 'short form' placename (which I can activate in reports) for a more legible variation. e.g. have "Almenum, Barradeel, Friesland, Netherlands" for
