Hi Pat, There isn't a particular field for Time of Birth or Death in Legacy. You may want to submit a suggestion for it to be added. (See the Home Tab in Legacy for a link to submit suggestions). When known, which I don't for most people, I put it in the Birth or the Death Notes which are

Hi Syble, Risking answering you again. If you make an event for DNA match using the fields as you like, then you can choose to show that Event on Family View. I don't have any DNA data but I can imagine I'd use the Description field to say Matched to X (line). Will that work for you? Cathy

Jerry et al, If you want something for your private use in any field in Legacy, enclose it in privacy brackets [[ ]] double square brackets. Then it can be included or not as you choose in reports and exports - however, it's an all or nothing include or exclude. You can't include the private note

Legacy 8 allows you to set two lines and use 8 colours rather than the original 4. There's more in the Help file than what Sherry has quoted. This is not doing what you've been using colours for in TMG if I understand you correctly. To bring over the TMG colours you need to use some alternative

Another thing you could look at is a clipboard extender. I've used one for years and it's one of the things I couldn't live without. It saves everything you copy to clipboard so when you want to copy several things from one place and then paste them in another, you just do all the copying and then
