I've used a number of genealogy programs over the past 10-15 years as most of
us have done and I have found that Legacy is about the most versatile one I've
ever used. It has a learning curve to be sure, but I suspect that you will be
a spokesperson for it once you've used it for a while. I'
When I first converted to Legacy via a GEDCOM file a year or so ago, I noted
lots of words in the notes had been imported with a space in the word. i.e.,
‘date’ might be ‘da te’, ‘birth’ might be ‘bir th’, etc. So, I have tried
making manual corrections while using the ‘Global Spell Check’ feat
I have a rather large list of persons that are buried in a specific cemetery,
but the individual records do not reflect this data. Is there an Access table
that would permit me to add this data enmass without having to go to each
person to enter this information? I've looked at all the tables,
When my wife and I married, I adopted her daughter from my wife's previous
marriage. I show my adopted daughter as '1/2' in the program, as I believe the
instructions indicate. My problem is that when I do a chart, I would like to
include her and my grandchildren. How can I accomplish this?
Carl - Could you expand a bit on your system of tagging the individuals and/or
the groups. I have a lot of unrelated folks in my system, and this might help
me better manage the files.

I do not have the original GEDCOM since this occurred some time ago.
I think I will just wade through the 800+ Files, change the current filing and
try to remember this incident when I next utilize a GEDCOM. Live and learn.

I have encountered a colossal problem that was brought about by an action I
must have inadvertently taken (shame on me) to allow a re-numbering of one or
more fields - specifically the MRIN numbers. Evidently I wasn't paying
attention on a GEDCOM upload feature and didn't discover this until ye
Thank you Dennis - that solved my problem without having to change anything.

I have encountered a problem (whether of my own making or whatever) that is
causing me to re-visit a ton of entries to correct. I noticed this when I
printed a small sample book and after reviewing several dozen entries, I
noticed the following Source Citation sample (it is one of many):

I have a couple of questions on which I need some help:
(1) I adopted my step-daughter and would like to show her as such in my family.
How do I do that? I only seem to be able to add her as my daughter but I
would like for her to show as the daughter of her biological Father for the
genealogy

Dennis - I'll try the '*.fdb' feature in Access as you suggested.

Since I have heard that Legacy and Access are intertwined, is there any data
written out that explains the columnar headings and their uses within the
various Access reports. I am particularly interested in the correlation of the
numbers noted in the columnar headings of 'SrcDetail', 'FilingRef

Color me red (as in embarassed!!!) - Richard and others helped me see
where I was going wrong. I even responded to some that 'oh yes, all my sources
are assigned to persons in my file' - well, much as I hate to admit it, I have
some 80+ sources that I had scanned into my PC and had them
Ron - I had thought of that also, but I checked about 10 of the missing ones
and each are addressed as a source for at least one person in the file.

That feature is checked when I start the GEDCOM, but the end result remains the
same - only 218 of the 299 sources are shown in the new family file when I
open it in Legacy with this new GEDCOM.
