But why double the program load? Just make an event called Fact; you can set it up with no dates, no location, no anything except notes -- whatever suits your need. Or leave the date field in, but set it to not to be included in the sentence -- then you can sort it among other events and still have just the statement you want showing on reports. With sentence configuration and over-ride, there very, very few things that could not be neatly handled. What sort of fact do you have in mind that could not be handled this way?

Legacy does not have facts. Legacy does have events. Events are facts with dates. Such as a birth EVENT. As in Uncle Joe was born on Sep 12, 1908, in Chicago Illinois. It is a a fact that Uncle Joe was born in Chicago. Event's and Facts are different. Other Gen programs have both Facts and Events and I wish Legacy would include facts because I think they enhance collecting genealogical information. While it may be your OPINION that they are "redundant and cumbersome" other genealogists, myself included, regard them as efficient, because in recording say a person's eye color there is no wasted space for a superfluous date. jr Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
