Carol,
I can save newly scanned face pictures as rectangles or ovals but prefer the
look of ovals in wall charts. The tangled branch of 2300 + islands doesn't
have many photos available but grandmother's grandparents had framed large
oval tintypes. 1901 census has online images for free so a method to print
six inch wide source documents in the same chapter as the family stories
would be an advantage over Legacy's limit of 5 inch right-justified source
images in endnotes.

The whole point of my current file over 4000 names with 364 trees is finding
more relatives to add to the main tree of 2303 names. I've found many of the
people in 1871-1901 census index. Quite a few marriage records available for
one county but many of the people lived in the other province where few
events have been transcribed.

Victor's non-Legacy direct line chart shows he is a descendant of two
children from the 5th generation and also from two children from the 6th
generation. The other genealogy program shows he is his own third and fourth
cousin. Legacy relationship chart for his parents only shows descent from
the 6th generation and a Legacy descendant "chart" is nearly double spaced
on 13 pages.

Females were usually listed as "single" under the first married name if they
remarried and several blended households had children from two or more
marriages. Sometimes hard to tell if there is one couple or a combination of
first-middle-nicknames used at different times.

The spelling of names online 1881 familysearch.org or CD-ROM version is way
off compared to the same individuals transcribed by a county researcher and
both transcriptions are worth checking. A few people worked in the USA and
returned to Canada with a wife + young children. -- Elizabeth
