Hi Steve
My opinion is that there is not enough detail. I would be expecting the line
of text in the citation to give me enough to get a copy of the specific item
(assumed to be a birth record in this case) - for example just pass this
"instruction" over at the counter (pay the money) and recieve
Hi,
Could I get an opinion on the following Source Citation. Would this satisfy the
requirements of genealogists or would I need to add more information for an
opinion? In the notes I have added the GID#.
Thanks

Hi Lea-Anne
There are 3 main places to enter names in Legacy;

Margaret "Margo", and they can be used in narrative paragraphs – Report

Hi Lea-Anne,
Welcome to the list
I'm fairly new as well. I record the name that I am first aware of for
the individual. When I find alternate names I enter them as AKA's then
when I find a birth certificate etc. there is a button that allows you
to swap this name as the preferred name that shows
It is totally up to you. If you choose to have AKA names show in the Index and
Names List, then you can always find the person. I have many mediaeval
ancestors who are known by many different names, titles, and spellings. I
enter a Duke, for instance, in many different ways:

on the one of the headers (Birth Place, etc.), then clicked on "Save" and I was

The important question is, what are you planning to use this for. If you are
tracking different cancers or birth defects for the greater family; or just one
type, then you could use events. If tracking exactly one symptom, you can put
that in the '5th' BMD field.

Hi all,
My daughter has just found out she is pregnant. Her doctor has asked her
for her medical history.
Has anyone ever used Legacy to create a Medical Pedigree? If so please
could you give me some pointers? I'm too excited to think!
Thanks,

another 196,000 to go before I get close to finishing.

Although it is filling up quickly, it is not yet to capacity. Many from Canada
have signed up too. Canada is 2nd in the list from the top. Weird that it's not

Yours sounds like a good method too. Is your one-name database included with
your main database or is it a separate file?

Chris,
I briefly played with Clooz and Bygones many years ago, and wrote them off as
clunky and unnecessary duplication of effort. But I didn't use them long
enough to know their full capability, so it may be you are used to some
functions that just can't be duplicated in Legacy. If so, be su

Maybe this will clarify my original question:

If you copy the two lines and paste them as one line it should then work -
as it is now there is a space after the first line - it won't work by
clicking on it.

Re Settings don't stay. I may be wrong on this but my setting seem to
stay very well. I would prefer someone from Legacy to come in on this
but if I go to the Index settings, Set the columns the way I want,
right click on the header row, then click on Customize (which brings
up Index View Columns)
I have clicked on this several times, and also entered it into my task bar
with no results. Now what?
