When I'm not sure that Legacy has pinpointed the correct town (because
of different counties for example), I always double check where the pin
is placed. I spend a fair amount of time double checking these
locations. I usually do a google or wikipedia to see what county the
town is in and can usual

I did put in some feedback several years ago requesting a more 'standard'
decimal degrees form of input eg E143. S36.5000 It would have made
transferring lat and lon a heap easier from georeferenced pictures or
straight out waypoints from a GPS.
I was pointed to the converter as an alternate (
Be careful. Legacy will accept the same numbers for N and S, E and W. If you
are converting from decimal, it knows, but does not if you are entering the DMS
coordinates themselves. Legacy seems to enter the last N or S, E or W setting
you used. I learned to always check that after some int

If I had to do it all over again, I would have done my census citations this
way as well.
Here is a census citation as is:

Brian,
Let's start with a fact, a fact of life in the real world.
"In the real world we have many unwed mothers
and unwed fathers."
I have a similar issue as Pat's.
I have a man and a women who had a child.
The couple did not marry each other.
But Legacy labels them Husband and Wife.

You already know my answer. It the same as Michele's. I go to the

I am a bit unorthodox here. If I can copy the newspaper page to my hard drive I
treat it as though I have seen the paper myself (and I have!). My citations

OK, this is making me nuts. When I have a location that Legacy doesn't
recognize and I have to look up the Lat/Long to pinpoint it on Legacy's
map, I can never seem to input the numbers that Legacy is satisfied
with. I always get an incorrect format warning and I end up manually
placing the pin in
