Ron:
Yes, I understand that V7 was a huge change and that recent updates have
been relatively minor "tweaks" but after having gone through months of
misery after the initial V7 upgrade I now have a version of Legacy that
works beautifully for me and I'm just not inclined to mess around with it.

Gene,
I did not indicate in my original post that I could update the legacy
database...I listed where you could find an updated Geo Location
databasesee post below.
I will not comment any further on this subject as it is not appropriate for
the list. I suggest you do the same.

Sounds very sensible, but I waited two months before upgrading to 7.0 and
then suffered through endless months of headaches with a totally useless (to
me) program because of the source citation bugs and inability to produce any
satisfactory reports. I'm not chancing that again. Call me chi

Ila,
For alternative first names, or nicknames, I include them in the Given Name
Field in quotes. These can then be used by Legacy in reports eg. "Poly resided

When entering an alternate name, if only the first name is a nickname,
do you go ahead and enter the surname also? I did this on most of my
records, but when I looked at a descendancy book report, it looked odd
to me to see "Another name of Mary is Polly Anderson". We already know

Thanks for the very thorough instructions. The problem was that for some
