Mike: I believe you can accomplish the migration patterns for an individual using Legacy as follows:
1. Place a Resident event for the individual for each resident location, e.g., at college, 1st job, 2nd job, etc -- I have about 15 resident events for myself for each location that I have lived at - be sure to include the city, county, state, country location in the resident event 2. Then View the Chronology Tab and it will display the time history of a person very nicely -- this provides a 1 or 2 page summary of a persons life 3. You can also map an individual and it will map all of these resident event locations during the persons life. When I 1st started using Legacy, I didn't use event, but I now place Census events, resident events, and others for each person so I can use the Chronology reporting capability and the mapping capability. Try this for yourself in your database, you might like it. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com ----- On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 6:48 PM, michael barberi <michaelbarb...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Ron: > > Thanks for responding.
