[LegacyUG] Global Sorting of Events Possible?

As I added individuals to the database over the past few years, I flip-flopped between sorting Events by Date or by Type. Now I would like to have them all sorted by Date. Is there some way to do a global sort for all Events? Or must I open each individual file to do this? Kathie Bennett Legacy

[LegacyUG] Swapping birth data

I am using the most current build of Legacy 6. I found a birth date for an ancestor on his WW I draft registration card that is better than what I've had for him, which was just the year. I entered the draft card birth date as an Alt. Birth event, entering the source of the information in the

[LegacyUG] Lost contact with internet

I updated to v 6.00.79 a couple of days ago. When I check HelpGeneral Information, it says this is the build installed. On the Legacy Home tab, Updates section, it agrees that this is the version installed ... however, it also says Unsuccessful Check. And when I click on Legacy News, I get this

RE: [LegacyUG] Lost contact with internet

12:35 PM When you update the program you effectively have a new piece of software. Hence your firewall is probably now blocking it. I use Norton and after every update it asks me if I want to allow Legacy to access the Internet Jack -Original Message- From: Katherine Bennett

[LegacyUG] Gedcom line breaks [was: note formatting]

Is this why there are breaks within words in the information in the Legacy-generated gedcom I posted to RootsWeb's WorldConnect? Do I need to create the gedcom with the Break lines between words (old) style option box ticked in order to have it read smoothly? Thanks, Kathie -Original

RE: [LegacyUG] A fatherless child an unmarried mother

My thanks to those who responded. I was trying to help out a fellow Legacy user unable to post to the list and was not clear on his goal regarding this situation. I believe Brian's suggestion to override the default that adds an Unknown and some thoughtfully worded Notes will resolve the issue.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding Child--Unknown Name/Gender

I have a few cases where I know there were more children than I have names because some of the US censuses asked how many children were born of a mother and how many of them are living at the count. I enter the ones I know and then add Child #10, Child #11, Child #12, etc to fill out the brood. I
