I have many people who, after having lived their lives in the outside world, became monks or nuns and died as such. I put that kind of info in the Death Notes.
CE From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] adding death cause in notes Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:22:45 -0700 Makes perfect logical sense. Birth notes are entered on the Birth tab. Marriage notes are entered on the Marriage tab. And death notes are entered on the Medical Notes tab. So if someone were to have been killed in an automobile accident, hit by a freight train, or kicked by a wild horse, that info is to be considered a Medical note. Hmmmm…. OK, after that little poke in parody, I have to ask this serious question. Since most of us have some sort of Death Event such as a Burial or Cemetery interment, I’m wondering just what kind of info is appropriate for the Death Notes tab.

In the past, I was able to add a individual's death cause and have it show in the family view screen for them, but I don't seem to be able to do this since I updated my Legacy version. In the past I was able to add the death cause by clicking on the + sign to the right of date and place of death in the family view and then choosing "notes". When I opened the "notes" there was a tab that I believe was labeled "Cause of Death". When I opened that tab, I could enter the cause. If I am remembering correctly, there may even have been a box to add primary cause and another box for secondary cause. Then the cause the would be displayed for the individual in the family view (I had added the Death Cause to be displayed for an individual in my family view.) For those individuals that I had previously added "Cause of Death" using that process, the cause of death still shows up for those individuals in the family view. However, now when I open the "notes" for death, all I get is a box in which I can type notes. I no longer have a tab labeled "Cause of Death" as before. If I just type the information in the box, the death cause does not show up in the individual's box in the family view. I checked the Help menu and I cannot find anything that addresses adding the "Death Cause" in the notes. There is only general information about adding notes. Has the ability to add "Cause of Death" been eliminated in the newer version of Legacy? Thank you in advance for any guidance you may be able to offer.
