>From the Help file for Ancestor: Color Coding Accredited genealogist Mary E. V. Hill developed this color-coding system used in Legacy. Adding color-coding to your organizational system helps keep your ancestral lines straight and promotes effective genealogy research.
The idea for color-coding began when family researchers finding lots of collateral genealogy information felt a need to concentrate direct-line great- and great-great-grandparents going back for many generations. As they worked on large pedigree charts it became overwhelming until they divided the chart up into four quarters by color. Color-code your pedigree by the lineages of your four grandparents. All the ancestors of one grandparent will be organized under the same color: Grandfather's lineage on your father's side: BLUE Grandmother's lineage on your father's side: GREEN Grandfather's lineage on your mother's side: RED Grandmother's lineage on your mother's side: YELLOW As you navigate through your family file in Legacy the color code for the current individual is shown on the *Family *and *Pedigree Views *letting you quickly know what line you are looking at.
