Yes, as Carl stated, that's a good feature. However, I personally don't want to have to see an * for the thousands of relatives that are not in my direct line. When you're in those lines, you are still going to see an *, if you don't turn that off, or am I missing something? So, clearly - using it or not will be a matter of personal preference, so Legacy did well in allowing us to turn it off. --Jerry
