Charts are needed to *see* complex relationships and concentrate on the main lines when there are many names in a file with "everyone" related. Some of my online research contacts are descendants two or more ways from our common ancestor.
One of my contacts has asked for PDF copies of images for one branch. It wouldn't be easy to e-mail a batch of pictures for a branch if all of them were kept in a single folder for linking to an all-names Legacy file. Last few years I've "kept busy" transcribing 1906 and 1911 census information. I cannot include everyone from the city in a single genealogy file. I do need a way to include census ages for "main" households in wall charts. The census households (part pages) need to be printed a readable size in a family book to show problems with name variations and handwriting. 1911 shows a blended family with Fred, his second wife and five children. He died in 1914 and no one seems to know what happened to the second wife or the child born about 1912. Just this morning, I received a request from a first cousin's daughter to include her DIVORCE date on the ancestor charts for her grandchildren along with pictures. Few events in my research areas fit master locations with city, county, state, country. Charts and reports with place holder commas (long locations from Legacy in TreeDraw or Companion) look sloppy. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom > Different strokes for different folks.
