How many generations are you printing in your report? Check in the Descendant Book report ‘options’ tab - just below ‘insert underlines for missing …..’ there is the option to set the number of generations. Unless you know exactly how many generations you’ve got, select All (the number 250

I don't think step 3 will result in messages being sent to the Legacy folder. You will need to type in LegacyUG rather than Legacy User because the other steps are identifying specific words in the SUBJECT (as opposed to the sender). If you look at all messages from the User Group you will see

But, if you have added notes as part of your event sentence structure you won't turn them off (I don't think). The option to print or not print notes only relates to Birth / Death / Marriage / General / Research / Medical notes doesn't it? Cheers, Jan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

I just wonder why you would delete the source referencing the person who gave you the information. Why not just add the additional source where you found the same information - to my mind that would do two things - still acknowledge the person who gave you the info in the first place, at the same

In that case I would enter the correct date in the Individual screen, and make a note that *my cousin* had originally provided such and such as the birth date. That date would no longer need a source, because it wouldn't exist in my database any more - but I would still want to remember that
