longer used - I mean how many times do you see signs that say:

I just created a small family database for a friend. When I created an
ancestor book report, two or three of the marriages have wording as if
the marriage had not happened.
eg. "Walter had a relationship with Mary Margaret on 16 Jun
1902 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States."
They do show up if you add "wedding photo" as a marriage event, and attach the
photo to that event.

In my case, basically – yes! Only thing is, it has just occurred to me that to
date I HAVEN’T added wedding pictures as an event. I’ve got several, but
haven’t attached them anywhere yet, mainly because I know they don’t show up in
reports.

Easy way to "clean up". In the Event that you want to move, click on

Anything related to the marriage and/or couple. Honeymoon would be a
good one . Until the programmers can add the Marriage Picture to

Your point about using Legacy on only one computer at a time is an excellent,

I would be interested in what you find out regarding the 'sync' software. As I

That wasn't my experience. However, all my points remain. If Dropbox is in the
