Good (well sort of) to know I'm not alone.
As you can see I am still getting messages - as if I never unsubscribed.
With the volume of Legacy newslist messages I just cannot afford to come
back with Legacy messages having filled my mailbox and crowded out all other
mail.

Jeff,
I have just returned here after a 3 year or so absence. As an interim
measure and until you can get properly unsub'd, is it not possible for you
to set up a mail filter to send these messages directly to your trash/bin
without going to your inbox?

I don't see how to make a list of all the FamilySearch ID numbers I
have put into Legacy. Is it possible to make such a list?

That is what I plan to do -- because I am computer savvy.
However, nobody should need to do that. This is an basic and elementary

Since the Detailed Search doesn't possess an entry for the FamilySearch ID in
the 'Where to look' drop-down list, I would guess that the short
Thanks, Mike. For the time being I am putting the FamilySearch ID
number in the AFN box as well as in the FamilySearch ID box. That way
I can pull up a list. I had not been using the AFN field, so this is

Why doesn't Legacy have a forum setup instead of or along with a mailing

subscribe to individual threads that I prefer. This mailing list is so

Weve discussed this many times on the LUG list. Many of our users are on
dial-up or have monitored time on the internet and forums can be cumbersome
and slow to load (even on broadband!), eating up internet time.

I cannot find on the Legacy site how they recommend dealing with
individuals whose surnames are unknown. In a previous program, I would
put two slashes (//) in the surname field, but when I do this in Legacy
it warns me about adding symbols. What is advised: leave the field
blank, use unknown?
I doubt very much that the majority of users are on dial up. You could
provide both forum and mailing list but I believe the majority of users have
broadband.

I just leave the field blank. This doesn't cause any problems on screen or
in reports, and in the normal Name List, all the people without surnames
show at the top of the list.

If you have a unknown child of a known couple the program will default the
last name in and then you can just leave the first name blank
If you have an unknown spouse but known children, when you add the children
the spouse will automatically default to unknown

Yeah but one does not have to be taken away to have the other..

This list is an "opt in" service provided to us
for free by Legacy. One stops receiving messages by unsubscribing. If
this service does not suit your needs, you may opt not to use it.
Therefore, the LUG email, by definition, is not spam.

As a new Legacy user, I appreciate Legacy for providing us with this *opt

I use a different approach entirely because I like how it looks in the

Yes the mapping started working again last night (10 Nov 2009) and is still

Laura,
You make a very valid point for the purposes of your reports, which in this
case are designed to elicit a response from the recipients. It also
illustrates that the treatment of unknowns depends on the personal choice
and end use, as I would not wish for underscores except for the
Both Ancestor and Descendant BOOK Reports offer the option to automatically
insert underlines for missing given and surnames as well as missing dates

this option.

Hi Mary,
Did you reset the relationships after you entered the new people? It
