Happy to help. The program is still developing as people report bugs. I'll double check the blood Relation bit on mine and let the developer know about it. I'll also let them know you had issues with laptop vs desktop installation. I found out about the program through the Lost Cousins

Bernie, I've just double checked the blood relation bit you mentioned - Direct Ancestors is what you want for what you describe as actual relation. Blood relations are anyone who shares the same ancestors as you. Other than that, I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. I'll pass on the info

Ahh yes, I understand what you want now - and yes, I'd love to have that in Legacy too - especially for direct line ancestors - would make things a lot easier for me when searching for certain names (bold vs normal isn't enough of a difference for me) On 4 September 2013 09:38, Bernd Hornung

None of the settings files are part of the backup. Only those specific to the Family File you're backing up. Specifically, the data file, Research Guidance results file, Relationships file, Clipboard files and Focus Groups. It's wise to do a regular backup of your hard drive. If you make sure

If you enter the Cemetery names as an Event (I have a Cemetery Event), you can do so much more with that in searching and creating reports and you don't have to worry with problems of sorting and using Expand/Contract Location Parts in the Master Location List. Those tools don't work correctly if

A cursory search of the archives will reveal that the arbitrary use of the four part location works for very little. Legacy likes it, and has designed features that depend on it. There was no need to do so, but they did it anyway. Many of us, especially those not in the USA, find it obnoxious
