Hi Ron,

results for mothers and
Dawn,
You do not say where you are seeing a duplicate child. It may be correct,
because in some reports the child has to be shown twice as s/he has two names
and two sets of parents. This is true for all genealogy software.

Tracy,
I see that others ave not fund the same problem so looks as though it is a bug.

For the comparison you've got it, I actually use the month number eg.Fergys1,

Your last paragraph is good advice for anybody using Legacy for the first time,
even without downloading an existing database - and not just left clicking
either as there are many functions available with right clicking. It is worth

Ron,
I should have added that even that exercise didn't teach me nearly
everything, I'm still learning things from this group every day.
I found it easier to play with my own ancestors just because I know
them better. If I needed someone with 3 marriages to test something, I

I do know how to write websites, and as Mike said earlier it is *not* the
screen size which is important but the resolution, and one does have to
consider the spread of resolutions used by those who will visit the site. This

It sounds like there should really be 3 options:
Prompt for detail and save new detail
Prompt for detail, do not save new detail (this is the one that is missing,
and would be the most useful for me)
Don't prompt for detail
