Cathy, Your suggestion about purging the Master To-Do lists solved what for me has been a long-standing problem, namely file backup had been stalling on a certain to-do item. As I don't use the To-Do list I followed advice from Support and exported the entire file to a new file but in so

Kirsten: I structure my to-do list items in a similar fashion to how you do it - i.e. Find John Smith's birth certificate. Then I put the to-do item under the repository that I want to search first - i.e. 'findmypast.com' or whatever. If a search of the repository comes up negative, I note

I have so cluttered and fouled my To Do List that it has been useless. A lot of what I did was before I knew much about Legacy, or genealogy for that matter. Now I would like to purge the entire To Do list and try again. How would one do this? Nick Cirillo Fairfax VA --- Nancy Bender [EMAIL

I originally had a very goal-oriented To-Do List in Legacy (i.e. Find John Jones' parents). That helped to focus on top priorities but ultimately didn't suit. Then I switched to a task-oriented format (i.e. Order Mary Cooper's probate record). That was OK for a while. Now I'm finding that
