Taking up Cathy’s last point, I find that unlinking wrongly-entered or attached people is very useful; I often find that the unlinked person does fit in somewhere.
(my use of dates is a bit crude: either a precise date, or Abt. I was unaware of the other allowed entry forms) Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cathy Pinner Sent: Sunday, 12 May 2019 1:10 PM To: Legacy User Group <[email protected]>; Marina via LegacyUserGroup <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] dates Marina I don't know if you are trying to add a double date or a range. If a range, enter 1665-1666 or better use either between 1665 and 1666 or from 1665 to 1666. If it's a double date you need the day and month as well and you need to set Options-Customise 5.4 and note it can only be set for the one change date.Then you enter your date in New Style and for dates from 1 Jan to 24 March, Legacy will add the double date. Yes Legacy will give you a new total but possibly not until you have closed and re-opened Legacy. Also make sure you do File Maintenance - Check/Repair and sometimes Compact File. Note the RINs are not changed and whether abandoned RINs are reused depends on your setting at Options-Customise 4.4 so don't confuse highest RIN with number of people. I prefer to just unlink people I've added in error. That helps me not to go down that rabbit hole again and I haven't lost that work if I discover that they fit somewhere else.

Also if I have had a flight of fancy and added someone who is not mine when I delete this person does Legacy recalculate and re number my grand total of tree members.
