I've been dealing with this problem, too. It would be great if the missing

Hi,
I entered the first Residence Event for this person and sourced it without a

Thanks for the reply Cathy. Yes, I did have Show All Events unchecked.
That seems to have fixed the problem.

Hi all,
After I made some cleanup changes in my file that were necessary after
my gedcom import from The Master Genealogist, I did an import of my

started out identical to mine) and used the IntelliShare feature of
Legacy.
One other thing, the Chronology shows two spouses as well as two
marriages.
