Cheryl, So, Northern Ireland did not show up? Which is correct, right? But you were expecting India to show up? Are you sure you selected your son as the target person & not yourself? Can you select your husband as target person & see if India shows up for him? I wonder if Legacy just doesn't recognize India?? (that makes no sense) --Paula

Oddly, yours is the only response. Please wait ... Testing ... There's still something wrong. With "only oldest" and 7 generations selected, I get his origins as VA, WV, PA, and MD. All true ON MY SIDE. No mention of the other half of his origins (India). At 9 generations and still only oldest, I get USA, England, and Germany. Again India is missing. At 12 gens, all origins are England. At 13 gens it finds no recognizable places Odd.
