Dear Group; I realize after doing research for decades that I am not at all certain what recorded date means. In this case, I am referring to when I am adding master sources to my files. At the bottom of the window, there is a field for the recorded date. Does this mean the date on which I

Mike, An interesting approach. Do you happen to know if this method would include the pseudo marriages created when a child is born out of wedlock? I suspect it will. On this point I am wondering if it may be possible to exclude marriages where a partner has a RIN = 0. Or maybe exclude those

Kathy - You can get an idea from the examples on the VCF forum of the types of charts that RM and TMG create - more freeform and customizable than Legacy - but for your purposes, RM is the better choice. TMG has 37 options for the display of each event in the chart (whether to include the memo,

Chuck, I am not at all clear as to what you mean when referring to the female tree. This may be because I tend to think in terms of mtDNA when considering a female tree. In my scenario the female line is always passed from mother to daughter down the line. Which is why I cannot see why you

I must have been very unclear in how I asked my question. It may be that it is so basic that you may think it more involved. I have been working on a family tree for over a year, but am not necessarily versed in the architectural design of trees. I start with a person male 1

This would have been a great idea EXCEPT that once you get the list, you are NOT getting the marriages to tag. You still get a list of individuals to tag. I already have tagged all individuals in the database and have been working my way through cleaning those up. There are 54,833 individuals

Laura, if you are slightly able to deal with databases and their structures, then I would suggest considering the Legacy add-on LTOOLS for major clean-up, and special tagging (marriages can have up to three tags). Dennis Kowallek, the LTOOLS programmer, has helped others with similar problems.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tagging Marriages

2013-10-26 Thread Laura Johnson
I would gladly use LTools IF it was able to do this. But all of the features listed on both the regular and deluxe versions do not mention anything about tagging marriages. If Dennis can confirm that it will do this, I would gladly purchase it just to save me the time On 10/26/2013 1:56 PM,
