Some more good advice, MikeFry and Chris. Thank you both.
I have another different question (which arose when I wanted to create a new Location). I had stuffed up the actual coords for a correct location (Guildford, a suburb out from Perth in Western Australia) by searching in the Locations list for Guernsey (it found the right place in the Channel) . The search found Gu (Guildford) and I had discovered that Right Click would attach the coords and make a pin on the map - it gave Guernsey's DMS to Guildford. Not what I intended. After correcting that by clicking the Geo-Code button, I found out how to create an unlinked person (M or F) from the ribbon. So I have that "person" a silly name and used the born and died to attach places (in this case, Guernsey and Channel Islands, UK). There did not seem to be another way to add a new location (ie, without that place being attached to a person). In a way that makes sense, though awkward and potential corrupting. My question: How can I find ALL the unlinked persons in my Legacy file? I do have a few - and I don't necessarily want to discover them one by one out of hundred - and then waste a Tag on them (not yet, anyway).

I enter Registration Districts as, e.g., Milton Registration District/RD. No need for any county or country information as they only occur in the UK. As for 'pinning' them to a map, you can use Family Search < <http://maps.familysearch.org/> http://maps.familysearch.org/> to display a map of the UK with all the Registration Districts superimposed on the counties. Only problem is that it shows the districts as they were in 1851 :-) I think it holds pretty well for the 19th century if you couple it with the information on GENUKI. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe <http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com> http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
