Yes Sherry I am adding these sets of information (DATA) which is not directly related to one individual as "unlinked individuals". The information that I store I may like to use at some stage in my reports so I am "uncertain where it fits". Really I am just using Legacy as my filing system on family history as well as my family history program. I can search using notes - general or notes reference. I use the To-Do feature just for things that I have to find. I don't see any need to use "inserting underlines for missing data" for my DATA entries. I have only about 2500 people in my file and Legacy seems to have so much capacity. I am afraid it is rather unorthodox but it works for me,
