[LegacyUG] Source citations bolded in some cases / Death and burial notes before life events

Hi - a few more questions When I do reports the first of the source citations come out in bold font - then it switches to normal. It isn't as if it is the first 5 or so and it doesn't even seem to be the same number with any given report. I prefer them in normal font and it is easy enough to

RE: [LegacyUG] S.S. Death Index as an event

Just as an aside--I'm sure you are all aware that the SSDI information is not necessarily accurate. Several people have posted their families on the web which included my father who died in 2000. The SSDI states his last address was San Diego, CA. He was never in San Diego in his lifetime. I'm

RE: [LegacyUG] S.S. Death Index as an event

Actually - the SSDI usually states the address of where the death benefit was paid. This could be a relative, an estate attorney, the executor/executrix of the estate, a trust, the guardian of minor children, or a funeral home. It usually does not mean the last address of the deceased. Linda

Re: [LegacyUG] S.S. Death Index as an event

Hello -- Just for information sakes, the last address is usually where the death benefit was paid. Do you have a relative or family member out in San Diego who handled the contact with SS and the final financial arrangements at the time of his death? This is most likely where the address

[LegacyUG] Keeping track of Costs

I spend a lot of money obtaining copies of death certificates, obituaries, marriage certificates, etc. I'd like to keep track of how much I'm spending, but I can't seem to find a field in which to record this information. Any suggestions? Thanks. Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Natalie, I don't think that would pertain to genealogy facts, however if you keep track of your finances in a financial program like Quicken or Money, then you could just assign that expense to a catagory. That is what I do and it works quite well. If I want to know how much I am spending then

To removed Sentence Overrides, highlight everything in the Sentence Override and then press the delete key. Make sure there is no asterist (*) in front of the Sentence Override heading. If there is, not everything got deleted. After that, it will use the normal Event Sentence. (The reason
