[LegacyUG] Legacy 7 U.S. Marriage Index template?

[LegacyUG] Sourcewriter for marriage and divorce indexes?

[LegacyUG] Sourcing Ancestry family tree

Thank you to everyone who gave their thoughts on how to source what Ancestry calls a "family tree". I hope that I did not give the impression that I was assuming that the tree is factual. I just want a way to record where I found clues as to where a collateral line may have moved to. Thank

[LegacyUG] How do I source a "Family Tree" found on Ancestry.com

I found what Ancestry.com calls a "Family Tree" on their website.  It isn't really a family tree but a short list of related people.  I looked in the archives and see that many people suggest putting Ancestry.com as a repository and the collections found on Ancestry (such as WWI Draft Registr

[LegacyUG] Newspaper tidbits, put into "Notes" or enter as a "Fact"?

I recently came across several interesting newspaper clippings including items like "so and so attended a birthday party" and small bits of interesting tidbits along with clippings of a relative's letters to the editor.  I am interested to know how other Legacy users enter things like these.

[LegacyUG] Question about "Vacation Event" and Thank You for Godparent event ideas.

Hi Again, I am wondering if anyone uses a "Vacation" event and if so, how do they structure the sentence.  Or is anyone of the opinion that vacation information should be just put into general notes?  Also, thank you for the Godparent event ideas.  I'm still trying to figure out the best way

[LegacyUG] Godparents

Hello, I am wondering how various Legacy users enter godparent information.  I checked in the archive and see references to an event called "Godfather/Godmother", but I don't have that event listed in my events.  I realize that I could create such an event, but before I do that, I would like

[LegacyUG] Backup procedures

Thank you to you who wrote giving me advice on my backup problems. I wrote the other day asking how I could create a new backup each week in case I need to go back to a certain point in my data entry. I think I am starting to understand now. I guess I was confused as to the difference bet

Hello, I am about 1/3 of the way into entering individuals from my FTM program into Legacy. I have checked on the archives and cannot find enough information for a question that I am having with backing up my family file. The book merely tells me that backing up is a good idea but doesn't go i

[LegacyUG] Entering funeral home data, funerals, visitations, etc.

I am still very much a newbie with Legacy.  I have over 9,000 names to enter from my FTM family file.  I have been experimenting with about 50 names from my own family file.  Before I get too far, I would like to make sure that I am handling some basic information in a way that I will not regret

[LegacyUG] New user about child's unknown sex

I am using the standard Legacy 7 as a trial right now.  I am looking for an alternative to FTM.  I have several questions, but will ask one at a time and hope to get at least a few people's ideas or comments on each.  My first question is how does one enter a child when the sex is unknown?
