Enjoy!

unique coding. However when block changing a Legacy coding it is important to
ensure that it is unique. This may include using some of the coding either

You could put it into a photo album but even then it may not reproduce OK.
I do not know how experienced you are in photo-manipulation but what I do is to

to the individual.

Valerie,
It depends entirely on what you want! I have two main databases, one is for my
own family tree which includes everybody with a connection irrespective of
surname.
The other is more or less a Ferguson one-name tree in this I include the
husband of a Ferguson and their children. You
What I have done in this case, is save both the group
shot, and individual clip/cuts for each person from
the main photo. Sometimes the enlarged photo bits
become too grainy, but may be the only existing photo.

once you've imported a csv file into a spreadsheet you can sort it there

There are other ways, but this way is very easy.

Ron I have Legacy installed. I must have it installed or I couldn't
