Jay, If you have a to-do item for each thing you want to find, and have specified the repository as the vital records office you plan to visit, then print the report of to-do items for just that repository, sorted by category first (BMD), then ...well, you would need to enter the year in the "task name" and then sort on that third. (or if you really don't care when you technically opened a to-do item, you could enter the date in question there...? tho I haven't tested entering a date in the past)
If all your individuals in question are in your Legacy database, I'm not sure why you would consider getting another genealogy program just to produce a to-do list? Alternately, if you don't want to use to-do lists at all, but just want a list of who to look for, you could try Search. It would take two passes. Example is whole state of Massachusetts. INDIVIDUALS Search > Find > Individual Birth Place contains Massachusetts OR Individual Death Place contains Massachusetts Click Print - select what data you want (up to 3 rows) and print >>>> or generate CSV so you can sort it by date. (You might want to separate this into 2 passes, so you have a "births" list and a "deaths" list... depends on how the records are organized at the VR office.) MARRIAGES Search > Find > Marriage Marriage Place contains Massachusetts Select fields, Print / generate CSV --Paula ________________________________ From: Jay 1FamilyTree <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] To - Do Report Wow, that does not seem logical to me at all..... Am I looking in the wrong place on how to create a report for a research trip to a vital records office where I want to maximize my time by searching for Birth Death and Marriage records in a specific order like first all births, sorted ascending by year, then all marriages ascending by year then all deaths ascending by year? Or is another Genealogy program better at doing this seemingly simple task? Jay On Mon, Sep 16, 2013 at 6:17 AM, Brian/Support <[email protected]> wrote: That is the way the To-Do report is designed.
