You can just ignore it, can't you?  When the verifier comes up, click "OK" and move on.  A little annoying that you'll get the pop-up every time you enter Norfolk County, but it doesn't stop you from entering the county in your file.  Tell me if I'm misunderstanding your concern. BTW, you should s

After I hit send, I thought of something else you might want to know. Because the children were from different fathers, you may wish to show them as half siblings. To do this you'll have to temporarily create fathers, then delete them. Create father #1 (call him anything) and create child #1. C

[LegacyUG] Include this citation on reports

I noticed, for some reason, some of my detail citations are not appearing on reports ... and the culprit is that the "Include this Citation on Reports" checkbox was unchecked. I don't know how or why they became unchecked, but no matter. Is there a way to have Legacy mass check every citation? O

Yes, the one challenge I have with Dropbox is avoiding conflicting files. You must be careful to ensure that the file on computer #1 is both closed AND synchronized before opening it on computer #2. As you as you do that, Dropbox works exceptionally well. Dropbox is not the only file storage/syc

Others have answered similar to me, but I'll through my 2 cents in anyway. I follow the principle that locations should be recorded with their official names at the time of the event. So, for locations pre-1776, I use "British North America" instead of "USA". You could get more precise and use t

That's a good suggestion Sherry. I'd like to say that it would be better if we could select the address fields within the "+" areas to include on List Reports, rather than having to use this workaround, but in the meantime, its a good option. Scott On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 12:06 PM, Sherry/Suppor
