Kathy, Graham & Mike,I know how to do all of what you've suggested, but in
working with DNA you have y-DNA which is only the male line, so it would be
easy to do what you're speaking of, but autosomal DNA picks up all of your
lines to many lines back and so when I have a confirmed match and that's not
often or when I have a possible, which is very very often, I was wanting
something I could fill in on the Individual information screen, just as "Cause
of Death" where I can go to the Notes, choose Medical, type in just as I would
for "Cause of Death". I could choose the Tag option, but there's not enough,
you have at the least 32 lines of ancestors, it doubles each time it goes up a
generation. [Also I manage 4 different people's kits] I could use Research
notes or General notes, but I have 3 Legacy family files that include over
14,000 individuals, so it would take more time than I care to think about to go
back and redo all those, because some I have notes on and some I have Research
Notes.
I thank ALL of you for your help, but I just see no answer for me, I realize
that when someone ask a question, you have no idea of their knowledge, but God
only knows how many hours, I spend typing all this information into Legacy, and
I haven't ask a question in a LONG time, in fact, I had dropped my name from
the forum, I miss having Ron to correspond to, and I'm sure you Kathy may be a
great advisor, but I hope with all this you can see why I was offended.
Until you get into DNA tests results and see maybe 1400 + matches on a report
and try to work with 3 DNA company test results, you can have no idea as to the
work. As it's been said on the DNA forum, "It's not for the weary at heart".
Basically, Legacy is great for adding genealogy records, but I was trying to
get it to do something it's not designed to do, and for that I apologize.
But, for those that are familiar with Ron Ferguson, he, too was one to stretch
Legacy to do what he wanted it to do, and he help so many of us for years. Of
course, he was much smarter and had been doing this years before I came on the
scene about 10 years ago.
Thanks,Syble

Kathy, you are far and away one the most helpful people on this forum...but
you have just risen to a much higher level in my estimation...considering how
many of us (probably hundreds) that are out there biting our tongues right now.

Hi Syble,
Risking answering you again.
If you make an event for DNA match using the fields as you like, then you can
choose to show that Event on Family View.
I don't have any DNA data but I can imagine I'd use the Description field to
say Matched to X (line).
Will that work for you?

All I want on the screen is DNA match, I never once said I wanted any
details, I make an Event for that. This is what I said "I wanted a

going to use that because I'm not impressed with Legacy's DNA record,
I keep all the DNA correspondence/information, in One Note, but it
would be nice to have it on the Family Screen of each particular
person, obviously it's my database.
Thanks,

   They have never lined up in the way you seem to think they should.
   The Individual Screen is an input form and has to have all the fields
   where you can enter data, it is not customizable. The Family
   screen is a
   View of the data which means it is a display of selected data and
   can be
   customized, within limits, to the user's preference. The default
   fields
   for the Family view include the 4 vital events of birth, Chr/Bapt,
   Death
   and Burial and a view of the Death Cause from the Medical Notes. The
   data on those lines can be changed by the user as part of the view
   cust omization. The Individual input screen has those four vital events
   plus other data fields such as never married and had no children check
   box, Events list box and buttons to take you to other inputs.
   DNA test result entries are too extensive to display and cannot be
   added
   to the Family view since they consist of multiple elements and values.
   There is only room on the Family View for one line and values
   which can
   fit on a single line such as date/place of an event.
