Ron, I surely didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just thinking of the technical step of 'publishing' to the web--not thinking more broadly. I don't put my information on the internet, so I'm not really there yet. --Paula From:Ron Ferguson

Paula, I certainly didn’t think that your comments were '”offensive” in any way. Rather my comments were prompted by the fact that many people do not regard publishing on the web as ‘publishing’. That is to say that they consider anything on a website as to be freely available to them, for

Have you thought about using the User ID field in the lower left corner of the individual screen. This field is searchable and you can have anything in it numbers, text, etc. Russ From: Marg Strong Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 8:08 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG]

I haven't looked into the User ID. Just thought it would be a number for a file numbering system. Putting text into it might be useful. Still I'll have to take time to work out a plan. Maybe after I get my location list cleanup finished and have Legacy run through my database looking for errors

Paula, Putting something out on the web *is* publishing, it is likely to be read by more people than those who would read a book on the same subject as the website, and you are displaying to the world at large how competent, or otherwise, you are. Which is why those of us who do publish on the

Consider having a Maybe event. Even though it isn't a fact or a real event, events can be marked Private so they wouldn't appear in reports and they are searchable. Laird On 4/20/2012 7:08 PM, Marg Strong wrote: For me that's true also, Ron. I was looking for a way to mark them, but it would

Eliz, that's an interesting way of doing it. I started trying to think of something like that and adding it but was afraid it might be too non-standard. So far I haven't added many maybes. It is good that Legacy gives lots of leeway so we can do what we think will be helpful. Needs a lot of

Peggy, As somebody else wrote, it is important to consider at this early stage as to whether you may wish to publish your work as a report just for your family, send copies to other researchers, publish formally or as a web site. If so how would they look if full of possibles or maybes. OK,

When I read this (posted as a comment in another topic) I wondered again if there was a way to put individuals into your tree and identify them as unsourced. I have a number of branches (not as important as my main line, but still of interest) with names, dates, children, spouses, etc that are

Peggy: The source icon is Grey if there are no souces for an individual in the family view. You could add a new Master source called UNSOURCED and attach that to each person you have unsourced and then you can see a list of people who have that source named UNSOURCED. ___ Leon Chapman

But there are no source icons for the children unless you go into their page, are there? I do like the idea of adding the UNSOURCED master source so at least when I'm ready to work on those, I can pull them up. Thanks! From: Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com
