I suspect your correspondent has misinterpreted something somewhere along
the line. The sequence you describe would be extremely confusing and is not
at all common in the US.

Ruth,
There is no way that I would unlink her from her family ie. as your father's
sister, as that is her legal, if not biological status. I might be tempted if
she never regarded herself as your father's sister, but nevertheless I do not
think I would make the change.

Dear Fellow LUG readers,
I read this interesting article this morning and realized that I
would love to have this feature as described in the article and the

Hi Cathy,
I saw Mark Tucker's video yesterday at

As a pretty new person to genealogy and to Legacy I must admit that I've
been surprised that we cannot easily download both sources and source
citations from the common
Thanks, Ron. That's what I'd prefer, too. My Dad thought a lot of her.

I'm trying to cite a 1930 census from Footnote.com and have a question

In the last Legacy News, it says there is a Legacy 7 download

Is this download the same as the softcover guide that is mailed with

If you open the database in Design View, some of the columns have
annotations (not always up-to-date).

What is the best way to do a source citation for information gotten from

was married and someone read to me his baptismal date and where he was
baptized. I looked at using Interview as a source but the options
were for

Surely, that would be a church baptismal record. You have all the details of
the church, the details of the baptism, and the name of the person, telephone
is the means of transmission and can be included in the notes.
You may have to use some lateral thinking to make it clear - I

Hi Ron,
Actually it was from the wedding register. Apparently part of the
information they collect before marriage is when and where the couple
was baptized. But... you are right... using Church Records seems to
work. I added the information in the Notes section about the phone

Thanks

Your task is quite easy if the second file was originally a Legacy copy of the
first file meaning that both files have individuals in them with the same
intellishare values. If this is not the case then the merge will not be as
simple but will still work.
1) Merge the new file into the old

Having had similar problems in the past. Merging the two would help but may
take weeks to finish the not matchers. It could be better to run 2 name lists
and save them each to your 'word' type program, so you need not print anything,

Might an Intellishare merge work?

I think an Intellishare merge may well work, but suspect it may take ages.
I was thinking that it may be faster to see which RINs are in each, then
compare the two lists to find which are only in the original. This of course,
would only work if the RINs have not been changed. I note that Ron
