Re: [LegacyUG] Family vs non-Family

Ian, There are so many ways to identify your direct line ancestors. 1) set relationships (and you can add column in Index View to show the relationship) 2) set Ancestor colours 3) set Direct Line AND check the relevant checkbox in Options - Customise 3.8 so that the direct line shows in Bold.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family vs non-Family

John, that would be the quickest and easiest method (tags are so easily “attached”); then the lastname CAPS settings would suit everyone’s preferences (on screen, and printed). I’m still coming to grips with Notes and Sources – I’m still wearing Learner plates for both genealogy research

Re: [LegacyUG] Family vs non-Family

Hi Ian I use tags for recording my relationships. Having been married twice I use tag 1 for all the relations of the children of my second marriage and tag 3 for those of my first. When I open the family view for an individual I can immediately see, in the tag fields, to which side of the family

I think there's an option to uppercase all surnames. Perhaps you have that checked. Pat On Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 7:47 PM, Martha Graham wrote: > Hello, > I set my files up so that I have an index and tagging system that shows > the relation to me. > That way I can tell at

Re: [LegacyUG] Family vs non-Family

Hello, I set my files up so that I have an index and tagging system that shows the relation to me. That way I can tell at a glance which person is mine. By setting the relationship settings high enough, I can see how deep the 'cousins' go. Most of the time, I do not search for anyone born

[LegacyUG] Changing Case in Documents

Good Afternoon, There is a great bit of software online that will change text in several different ways. One that I find most helpful is getting rid of those nasty Caped surnames in online files. It is totally out of vogue to capitalize surnames - I never did it because it looks tacky and in

1. Go to your options section 3 Data format and change surnames to don't change what I enter. 2. Change section 3. 4 to turn off display surnames in all caps. You may want to turn on display surname within slashes so you can see what the surnames are. 3. When entering surnames if yoiu have two

Re: [LegacyUG] Searchable PDF's & linking

Need help on one BIG issue. I have forever used capitalized surnames for direct ancestors, and uncapitalized surnames for non ancestors. That has been the easiest way I have ever found to wade through lists of names and find the Richard SMITH that is in my line from all the other Richard
