Suck it and see is the very best way to learn! There are many opportunities in Legacy for achieving similar results in slightly different way and on the whole none of them are right or wrong - it's your choice. No one else can tell you whether you will prefer this way or that, whether you will like this out put or that. You have to try out all the options and make your decisions. You have two choices to start with: either you can work with the Sample file so helpfully provided by Legacy, or if you prefer that to remain exactly as it is, create a Test file of your own - the latter is my preferred option. I started by adding a few people and a few sources and then pressed all the buttons to see what happened. When I read about someone having problems with a third wife married to her cousin's 2nd husband's brother I can add a few more people to my test file to create exactly that set-up and see if I have the problem too. Sometimes someone will say "did you know that you can ...?" or "have you ever looked at ...?" and I can go off and have a play with my test family file. I've learned so much that way. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
