I asked for help, not judgment of my genealogy research, yes, I have numerous christening records, but prefer to use it as an Event, not on the screen. Excuse me for being "different". Personally I was not even going to use the Cause of Death for that, I wanted a quick reference for DNA matches on the Family Screen, so I was just going to use that because I'm not impressed with Legacy's DNA record, I keep all the DNA correspondence/information, in One Note, but it would be nice to have it oh the Family Screen of each particular person, obviously it's my database. I've been using Legacy since version 5 and have upgraded each upgrade, so I do have a little knowledge about Legacy, and many of us choose to use in a way that is best for our needs and have no intention of writing a book. I well know that you don't input into the "Family View, but into the "Individual View", but they are SUPPOSE to line up with each other and mine don't!!!!!!!!Syble

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 research from early nineteenth century back I only have christening and burial information. To repeat. The fields on the individual input screen are fixed.

Chr...I don't want this , I want Cause of Death or Display name= DthCau Died... Buried.... I have the age of death on the Individual screen to the right, which is where it's been since version 5 if I remember correctly. I have been able in the past to have the DthCau (Cause of death), so my question is still what happen to it and how to get it back, obviously you can't type in from the Family View, so I need that area to be able to type in on the Individual's page.

Right click on one of the labels and then customise. The default is Birth, Chr, Death, Bur and DthCau so if you have Age, you have modified it at some point. I usually change the DthCau to one of the Events as I have few Causes of Death in my database. To change to an Event is a two step process - first when customising the labels choose Event and then the specific Event you want to show. You can choose to save sets of labels so it's easy to change from one set to another when working on different areas of your database. If you are wondering where to input the Cause of Death, that's on the Medical Notes - one of the tabs when you click the Notes icon. The input options on the Individual screen are fixed. Most other items are added through the Events/Facts section.
