Bob,
The 60 maximum is programmed into Legacy.
You can have 60 children per couple. A man could father more than 60
children, but I presume that he would have several wives or concubines or
whatever. But, I don't think it is reasonable to assume that one woman would
give birth to more than 60
Yes, many.
I have a system that I've been using in my FTW software for over 10 years.
FTW handles up to 99 children. I am researching all of my ancestral
surnames. Many of the same surname people I discover are not yet documented
as being a member of my ancestral lines. So, I put them under a

I think you may still have the email problem but I get the intent of your

clarified my dilemma. What I was doing is printing a descendents chart from

Mary,
Look under options: make sure you have other spouses checked...I just ran
two reports for one relative with two spouses...if that option is left
unchecked, it eliminates his second wife.

Fifteen minutes to generate your web pages does seem like a long time.
What is the speed and type of computer processor in your machine. I just
generated web pages for about 5,000 people in less than 5 minutes.
The time it takes to upload depends more on the speed of your connection

Thanks for the explanation as to why you have so many children. A
collateral ancestor of mine married the man would become a president of the
Church of Latter-day Saints and he had seven, as I remember, wives and there
were not 60 children there G.

A couple of thoughts. I have a tag to designate unlinked individuals and

This is getting slightly off topic but since it does directly affect Legacy

2. Your upload

Absolutely correct, but Brian (Legacy) aked for the CPU and it's speed

distant cousins, some direct ancestors. Hence, I was able to estimate the
I am confused about the advantages (or disadvantages) of attaching documents
instead of image files.
For example, I have some naturalization records saved as jpgs, and others as

it is almost as exciting to see a
Personally, I use images for photos only and pdf's for all documents. Having
