will give you the "top ends of the branches" for all your ancestor branches - which I think is the same as your "home" ? --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 ________________________________ From: Chuck Sechler <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2013 6:55 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Design question on trees I have an ancestor I have done a tree for with Legacy and I followed only male lines down. If a female married into another family name, the tree stopped for her line. so, I have one “origin”, the first person I have recorded in my family. But, if I were to follow all female lines down I would be into potentially scores of other family names (the ones the females married into). If I only follow those families down from the point at which the daughter marries into that family and all of her descendants, it all points back up the line to the original male and his wife in my tree. But if I go to a female and the family she marries into, and follow that family UP into that family, it seems I have created a tree with more than one origin point, potentially scores of origin points for all of the families the females marry into. I do not know what selecting "home" means anymore at that point. there are multiple "homes". Is this the normal expectation? Is there a way to select different “Home” points in Legacy to follow a family down. I only have the free Legacy and so have limited “views”, such as “family”.
