That is actually one of the reasons I *do* use the place of newspaper publication, even if it is maybe far way. That way the person will show up when I do a Show List for the place of the obit publication. If the obit got published there, there may be other ties or other news I should look for

Sorry, I didn't get home last night until 730pm and then I finally got two Civil War pension files I was waiting for, which was too hard to resist. In the page source code it says body BGCOLOR=#10 Now, on some experimentation, if I choose colors that came with Legacy ( in the Color box

The search and replace will stop as it finds each occurrence, but it just displays the citation detail - it doesn't tell you who the individual is. I can't imagine why it doesn't. Lisa Karl Plenge wrote: Currently it can't be done in Legacy. You can search and replace on Source details but

Another thing to consider - if you don't put the known as name also as an AKA, persons who only know the known as name won't be able to find them in the index. The index gives the option of including AKAs but of including quoted names. Lisa Cathy wrote: Hi Gary, If you put the known as

I've noticed that in vital event sentences in reports, the comma is missing after the last place name part. For example: Report shows: John died in Los Angeles, California on 2 December 1950. Should read: John died in Los Angeles, California, on 2 December 1950. I can hard wire that comma
