Christine,
Tagging the parents would be tricky but you can easily export the file
including all tagged persons and, checking a box "Include Parents of
Tagged Individuals".
Hope that will work.

One of my "issues" with assigning the same information to everyone is that
it prints out over and over in a report. It takes a lot of space in the
report and is redundant to the max!

Jane,
Did you see my reply to this yesterday? It is doable by using the marriage
note or marriage event for that family. If you are not sure how to add a new
category to the Events list then check in the help section under Adding
Catagories:
Adding Categories
Simply type in the new category name.
I broke my own rule about never doing anything that requires importing into my

I'll vote for this. As has been said many times before, I think a
more useful way to 'fix' this is to allow Event Details to be either
shared or duplicated when assigning to multiple individuals/marriages.
Legacy already offers this in some areas, such as the the Event
