Re: [LegacyUG] Family view & Individual is not the same options

Syble, Sorry, as I said, you cannot change the input fields on the Individual Screen. If you don't want Christening, I gather you are not very far back in your research or are in the lucky position that there is actual birth information available very early in your areas of research. In my resear

Alan, It's an alpha-numeric field and that's how that type of field sorts. If you put zeros in front of the numbers so they're all the same length, they'll sort correctly. 01 015 031 205 Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Sat, Nov 29, 2014 at 5:29 AM, Alan Pereira wro

The first thing is to make sure it actually installed. It installs into a hidden folder so you have to have hidden folders and files turned on in Windows to see it. It is in C:\Program Data\Legacy Family Tree\GeoDB (Program DATA not Files. This is a folder that is normally hidden) Michele

Re: [LegacyUG] can't add repository

It will be a simple download, just a regular update. I can't say for sure when it will be released. The beta testers have the test build now. As soon as the programmers are happy with the feedback they are getting they will release it to everyone. You will be able to see when the update is releas

I am not familiar with how updates work.  It doesn't sound like emails are sent notifying they are released or you get an update automatically they way you do from Adobe, say.  Are we just supposed to periodically check using the methods you describe below? Thanks, Barton On Sat, Nov 29, 2014 at

[LegacyUG] Customing a Global Event

Hi - Maybe someone can help me (or at least tell me it can't be done). On the "Individual's Information Page" there is the event "Chr" for Christening.  As I am researching a Jewish family, this event and the "Chr" are not really relevant for me.  I would like to use this space for another event

Re: [LegacyUG] Family view & Individual is not the same options

They have never lined up in the way you seem to think they should. The Individual Screen is an input form and has to have all the fields where you can enter data, it is not customizable. The Family screen is a View of the data which means it is a display of selected data and can be customized, wit

Within v7.5, all you need to do is to right-click on the name of the FIELD that you want to change, i.e. CHR. I suspect this works the same way on v8 as well. If you look in the HELP file under Customize Family View Information you get more info. Brian in CA By the way, in case nobod

Hi Nancy, In the Individual's Information Page, that set of fields between birth and death can be altered to read either Chr/Christening or Bap/Baptism. Those are the only choices there, and you can change them at option 3.10 (Options > Customise). When you're looking at the Family View, you can

Re: [LegacyUG] Customing a Global Event

You cannot customize the individual input form. You can create a custom event appropriate to the Jewish faith and add that event as an event for the person and just not enter anything for the Chr event. If all the families in the file are also Jewish you can customize the Family View to use that ev
