Hi Alexa,
I'm not sure what you are doing, but Legacy doesn't automatically
update. You have to choose to update.
Also there has been no automatic upgrade to version 8 or a conversion
in 7 that forces you to upgrade to 8.
Perhaps you loaded an earlier version of Legacy 7 and when you tried

Alexa,
The program does not automatically update. The only way it will update is if
you tell it to. There are two ways to update. You can go to the Legacy Home
tab and over on the right you will see if there is an update available. You
can then click on the update if you want to install
In Legacy 7.5 I used to enter the range of Jan-Mar 1856 by typing 1-3 1856.
This does not work the same in L8 as it converts the 1-3 into 1 Mar (UK
Date).
I do not like entering the date as Mar Q 1856 as this gets translated in
GEDCOM to From Jan to Mar and I end up with a mixture of date ranges

The Pedigree Chart REPORT does not support the two colour groups nor
does it support 8 ancestor lines. Only the four ancestor colours are
supported by the report at this time.
Did you not see my answer dated 14 Mar to Cathy on how to fix this for
the Pedigree View?
Go to Tools Set Ancestor
The answer is the same as was given to Cathy. You’ve got both groups of colors
set to the same starting person. You need to turn off the group 2 colors.

Good question. Just realized that I probably have not been consistent with
this. I generally have treated those in my family who, as it was termed at

Hi
Can someone please explain how to switch on the generation labels in Family

Great Report Tom!
I only had 90 couples but it alerted me to what looks like was a gedcom
import problem from long ago, whereas the country (USA) was in the postal
field, zip in the state field and country in the city field for about 30
records. Probably from a gedcom import back in 2006!

It turns out that Show a Description field was not checked for that

Hey Cathy,
Thanks for your suggestion, I tried what you suggested, and it looks like
it worked. I was a little worried I would have to re do all my media again.
So Thanks for your help!!! :)
Have a great day,

I did not realize that the shared event would not completely print if the
original person was not a part of the report. That would seem important.
Have you found a way around this?

Hi Alan,
Yes, 7.5 did convert 1-3 1856 to Jan-Mar 1856 - seems like a logical choice.
I have had ongoing discussions with Legacy with the Quarter dates and suggested
enhancements. So far, the only 'productive' thing to happen is the recognition
that entering Jan-Feb-Mar 1856 is simply deleted
Now that is scary, but how would I know, unless I came across a location I knew
to be incorrect. Had you been making any changes/corrections/cleanup in the

I sure hope you have a recent backup. Even then it could have been ages to
