Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, I looked at reports early on. But you don't know what you need
till you know what you're finding to put into the thing. And I'm
waiting on feedback from my husband as to what he finds easiest to
follow. Meanwhile, info has to be there to print.
Your idea to export only those I want to a new tree is good logic,
hadn't thought of that.
However - in trying to list which reports I was going to use, to
answer your query below, I discovered another one I hadn't seen - if
I click on chronology (which I guess hadn't taken my attention
before because I hadn't had enough to see in it) I can option the
display to show event notes and voila - I have a report. Think that
will do me fine. Haven't the time for finessing.
In answer to your other query, I'm planning a dump for everyone
(probably GEDCOM) and an export into an online service, probably
Ancestry. The ticklish bit will be to provide all details to family
members but block live people with privacy settings for those more
distantly related, without creating too much work for myself.

Hi Helen,
The sooner in a project you check how it looks in the output you
are planning to use, the better.
When you say "basic printouts", what particular reports are you
planning to use?
In what format are you planning to provide "the full tree"?
If you are wanting a report containing only some of the people,
you could tag the people you want and export them to a new file
and run the reports from there provided they are still all linked.
Just not sure what you are trying to do.

I'm using Legacy 8.0.0.501 Deluxe for a quick family tree to
supplement
my husband's memoirs, which have to be completed urgently.
I've set up
the tree and put in as many events as I can find in the time
allowed and
have put in lots of sources, mainly census documents and
birth/death/marriage documents. I've started to enter
additional
sources (newspaper articles) for the branch my husband belongs
to and I
thought I'd look at how they would print out, before going any
further.
(My idea was to have some basic information to put into the
memoirs but
to provide the full tree, to date, with sources, etc, to
everyone, so
that if anyone wants to continue the work I've started, they
can,
without having to reinvent the wheel. Hence, if possible,
sources
should be entered as sources.)
For my basic printouts to go with the memoirs, I'm wanting to
concentrate on that particular branch of the tree. But can't
work out
if I can extract source citations for particular people, rather
than
have to use the report that allows me to tag citations, but as
far as I
can see, not people. If I can't, I need to stop entering
sources as
sources and enter them as events, as I can be selective wi th
events by
people. Not ideal, but even though what I'm using is original
source
documents, at this point I can't be choosy.
Has anyone any suggestions or solutions that might help me avoid
this
compromise, please? Or have I missed something obvious?
Helen
