What's the best way to enter negative results (nothing found)? For
example, you completed your to-do by thoroughly searching newspapers
x, y and z but did not find any obituary for a particular person. How
do you document this in Legacy ("there was no obituary published in x,
y, z") and also trac
Chris:
With each to do item, there is a tab for recording research results. What I
typically do is use that tab to document whether or not I found anything, what
day it was searched etc (because resources are always changing - databases are
frequently adding new records, etc). I'll mark the t
.This is a big part of my original question, and I've not yet worked
out my game plan on this yet. For me, the TODO would be something
like "Find Obituary", but I'm getting the sense that others (most?)
make even more granular TODO items (perhaps for each source?). That

I am more wordy for my searches. I include the vitals for the person. Then,
when located, I can photocopy, write 'photo' on my ToDo page, write on the back
of photo the repository info, continue to the next one.

One thing I have tried is to make a general TODO for a particular source,
like Tetbury Parish Register, or film number 123456 nnn, then record in
the Results every person I look for, the date I looked, and what I found or
that I didn't find anything.

I only use ToDos when I really need to. I don't have them for everyone. We have
had numbers of people as Family Historians for my mother-in-law's family over
the years who have made notes but never listed sources. Now as the elected

Is there a way to pull custom statistical information from Legacy when a
report isn't available?
For example, I thought it might be interesting to find out how many people
in my tree have their birthday in a given month. I created a Facebook group
of family members and it would be fun to report m
