Interesting. I did not know there was an option to show Possible not proved in the children's settings. I wonder how that prints in a report? Say - a descendant's narrative report? Jane On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Robert57P_gmail robert...@gmail.comwrote: I like the below suggestion

After trying several reports, it looks like that goes part way to solving the problem, although it doesn't allow for multiple possibilities for father identity. In addition, it would be nice if those people whose line is not proven (the prospective father, his wife, ancestors, and other children,

Jane, I would almost suggest that there as as many ways of referring to possible parents/relatives as there are users of Legacy. Personally, I would never link persons who might possibly be related, no matter what device might be used to indicate that the link is only a possibility. If the

Ron, Far be it from me to suggest a less than pristine data set. I do not plan to publish mine but use it primarily as a research tool to help me add to it. However, if the prospective parent is clearly labeled as such, as I suggested in the first place, it should not sully up the work by

Jane, I thought that I had made it clear that my reservation was to changes being made to Legacy which may encourage others, less careful than yourself, to create “possible” links which may over time, and perhaps after transcription by others, become “facts”. This sort of thing can and does

Hi Rich, Think of tagging in Legacy like looking through a book and putting coloured adhesive stickers (flags) on the pages you want to go back to, sticking out so you can find them easily. And being able to remove them easily when you're finished with them. Like Post-it brand flags and other

Tagging is something I learned when I actually took time to watch the video. I think there is so much more that Legacy will do for us if only we knew. I used the example in the video to tag people of the age brackett that might show up in WWI registrations; same can be done for WWII. When
