thank you for your wonderful help on organizing files and sourcing and the

In reorganising my files, I have decided that I need to change some of the

This is a great tip that was posted on the Legacy News, but how do you

WHAT!!?? I was afraid this was the answer.
As wonderful as this program is for the collection-storage-retrieval of
genealogy data (and it truly is), we have some ways to go to be fully

I'm not about to start debating the merits of public opinion and ways to
address issues.
Suffice to say, there are issues that affect a few, that affect
segments, that affect all.
These are issues affecting ALL Legacy users, not a few or segments.

Interesting discussion here but mainly agree with Gary. (Many apologies,

I believe that you don't need to set up a bogus individual to get this to work.
All you have to do is set up the Source like you want it to look and then

No problem with you not agreeing with me, we all have our opinions.

Hi Ron,
I Agree entirely with this (Phew!) I think the 'mass-lobby' was perhaps an

saying things and in the end wishing I had kept quiet. (I don't have my
original e-mail's to check). Not to worry.

Aren't we getting a bit off-topic here? I thought the LUG was about
