Until recently I have never considered a person the end of the line. I always held out hope. That is until yesterday when I found this baptism record... 22 Oct 1815 William Postle, of Shotley Bridge, illegitimate son of Mary Postle (single woman) I don't think it is likely that I will learn

I also agree with Robin. However, I am a big fan of temporary workarounds, as people here might have noticed. Why can’t Legacy place a notice on the instruction page that subscribers receive, just like they already do when warning people that the URL link might be broken into two parts? Such a

You probably already know this, but I just learned it today and want to share it... When you generate a report as a text (.txt) file, the number of characters per line (equivalent of the page width, were you printing it out) is dictated by the number in the box next to the Text file radio button.
