So you are saying I can have only 4 colors and I must use the ones listed below. Or can I use more colors.

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.

So if I have 4 lines of Beeks in one project, I can’t start with the ancestor and give each line a different color? I would want something like the Beeks of VA to be Blue, Beeks of PA be green, Beeks of OH be yellow and Beeks of SC, be red. I find that strange, with the huge color palette you can choose from. Or am I not understanding something. You can put me down for testing too Dawn Beeks dawnbe...@msn.com Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
