It might be a good idea to go to the Legacy website and take a look at some of the videos that are available for beginners. Some of the "Events" you are looking at obviously do not apply to the specific person/couple you are viewing. Just leave 'em blank. You will find this to be true in many places in Legacy. Also keep in mind that when you see the word "Events", you can probably safely substitute "Events/Facts" in its place. And then there are Primary Events (the events that have their own space on the dialogs like birth, baptism, death, burial/cremation, and marriage) ... and there are the other Events/Facts that are found in the Master Events List and appear at the bottom of the individual info dialog in the datagrid. In your case, being a retired IT professional may be a hindrance. >And on another fron entirely, I've lots of places listed where events >occured that have Englis counties abreviated to three letter codes which >I'd like to globally replace (e.g. 'Essex' instead of 'Ess').
