The purchase and sale of land was an important event in our ancestor's
lives. I would like to
display the date and place in the Chronology Report. However I find no
Event to document
the transfer of a deed, land or property from one person to another in the
Events list.
Am I missing something?
I'm sorry. Didn't mean to imply that the date was part of the file name.
But when you click the "Select Name and Location" bar, its easy to see
the date of each backup in the Details view of your files. Why should
Legacy duplicate this?

I agree. It is precisely what I had in mind and is how most professionally
designed backups do it. And - it should not really add much code at all.
Less than a dozen lines of code at most.
I urge the Legacy programmers to consider it seriously.

Well, this has really started something. It just seems we should be able to

I DO use this as a method to keep track of people and where they are or not

Melody,
I do not use Census Events and only use census information as a source, so for
all members of a family staying at the same place on census night each will
have their own Residence Event for that place, or similar for elsewhere if not
with the family. The census is only the source. Thus
Kirsten,
Thanks for your reply.
My thinking on annotating either the published portion or the comment field
is as follows. The source might have redundant or even wrong information in
it, but might contain one nugget of good stuff. The other sources cited for
the same field might have missing

No. The multimedia files are only *linked* to the Family File - they're not
embedded (stored in) the Family File. Theoretically, you can have an
unlimited number of pictures, sounds, videos and files linked to the Family
