I know that I can put those other guys in as unlinked people, but they will not show up when I study my data and am trying to fit clues together as to who Timothy's parents or brothers are. Am I correct in thinking that it is not possible to have the other Redding men to show up in family view or individual chart (which is what I use to do my major work and thought.) If they are in as 'unlinked? I seldom think to go to the list of unlinked people to compare with data I am discovering as I research. Wondering how others handle this? I do occasionally add unlinked people if I think they do belong *somewhere* but I would never add them as someone's relatives unless I was fairly sure they belonged there. There's too much scope for errors getting propagated that way. If an individual is unlinked then I know immediately there's more work to be done there. I would add a Research Note to my known relative to indicate that he may be linked to X, Y and Z. Probably also add a To Do to research those possible relationships specifically. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Using the Legacy Help Index
Thanks to Mike and Gene-Found it and added the shortcut to my desktop, and a ? icon. Messed up my indexing and search settings in the process of looking, finally found and downloaded MicrosoftFixit.Search.RNP.93326127547965.1.1.Run.exe Ran that and now everything is working again!

Re: [LegacyUG] Sorting by date of birth
Pat, What are you trying to discover or do? Would printing a birthday list help? It's called the Calendar Creator now, under Other Reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Surname location map
Pat, Is this map something (an image) you find online? Or is there a way to produce the map in Legacy? Sounds really interesting. --Paula From: Pat Hickin pph...@gmail.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2014 3:09 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Surname location map One of the things I like to include in descendant reports is a map showing the locations of the __ surname at the present time. I've been attaching it as an event to the earliest ancestor of that name -- or sometimes I may use it as an illustration on the title page. I'm wondering if anyone else does this and, if so, how you handle it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Picture Centre
The only thing I'm aware of in Picture Center is that a PDF file with a picture in it can't be linked. Any PDF file is considered a document and has to be linked as such even if it only contains a picture. This should be fixed but is a limitation in current version.

[LegacyUG] Sources from one project to another?
I have a variety of projects (I'm still working in 7.5). I want to move several volunteer projects, that I'm working on for the NJ Maritime Museum, into V8. They are not related people so I have them in separate files. They are actually people on ships wrecked off the coast of NJ. How can I move my source templates (I don't use source writer) from one project to another without having to re-enter them all? I've tried a split screen, which works, but it's very time consuming and this is all done as a volunteer. I hope there is a faster way. Also considered running all the names as one project but that didn't seem appropriate. Any suggestions?
