Re: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know how to increase max number of children from 60 to 99

Carl - Could you expand a bit on your system of tagging the individuals and/or 
the groups.  I have a lot of unrelated folks in my system, and this might help 
me better manage the files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know how to increase max number of children from 60 to 99

[brenzelmf]

If I THINK that the person may have a connection to my family, I put them in a 
separate database that I call "Unconnected People".  There are lots of unlinked 
individuals in there.  Once I make the connection, then I use split screen to 
move them from that database to my main one.

A couple of thoughts. I have a tag to designate unlinked individuals and 
groups. Also, using the tree finder, it would be easy to find all the unlinked 
trees, and they can also be tagged from there.

I like the two suggestions I received. Thank you. I will start using the
suggested approach instead of my current approach. I agree, it's misleading
to have unconnected people linked as siblings.

I keep possible relatives unlinked as well.  I can always tgo in and expand 
on THEIR tree and then I will link them whenever I find the connection.

Re: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know how to increase max number of children from 60 to 99

[Laura Johnson]

I do not link unrelated people in my file to one person.  That would be 
very misleading  and confusing to anyone else who looked at your file.


I am entering the records for a town in Sicily and have over 48,000 in 
my file.  I check to see first if there is a relationship to someone who 
already exists in my file.  If so, then I enter and link them properly.  
If not, I add a new unlinked individual and add that person's parents 
names and/or spouse to the file.  I have many of these stand alone trees 
within my large file that span more than 7 generations without a problem.

I wouldn't claim to have a "better" system, but I can only point out 
that the advised method of working is backwards from the known to the 
unknown, so you should only link people where you have good reason to do 
so - eg, you add a father to someone when you are fairly certain you 
have identified someone as their father.  If you cannot link someone, 
then add them as an unlinked individual, or add a series of linked 
individuals as separate trees within the one family file.


Easy enough then to make links between people when you discover the 
connection between 2 people in different trees.  I don't really see any 
advantage in having dozens of people linked as siblings when their may 
not be any connection between them.


I don't know, I should say, if there is a limit on the number of trees 
your can have within one family file.

RE: [LegacyUG] Does anyone know how to increase max number of children from 60 to 99

[Jim Terry/Support]

Bob, 

The 60 maximum is programmed into Legacy. 

You can have 60 children per couple. A man could father more than 60
children, but I presume that he would have several wives or concubines or
whatever. But, I don't think it is reasonable to assume that one woman would
give birth to more than 60 children -- ouch! 

Thank you for choosing Legacy, 

Jim Terry
