Dennis, If I set the user ID with Henry numbers as described, is it possible / how hard is it to populate the user ID for new blood relatives? Would I need to do that as I add each new one (manually) or can the process populate the new ones (in a batch) for me? (probably a dumb question, but... ) --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

That is one way to do it, but you need to make sure that the starting person is a member of the most recent generation, as that tool will not tag individuals in generations more recent than the starting person. The Henry number method will always work because it sets the user ID for everyone with a blood relationship. You asked how setting a user ID will solve your problem. You need to think out of the box. If I clear all user IDs and then populate only the user IDs of blood relatives (with a Henry number), then I can use Legacy's search to tag individuals with a user ID not equal to blank. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools/Custom Programming) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
