Wow!!! Given that our TV just died (leaving an empty space in my living room), now I know the size to look for in a

Hmmm . . . LOL ;) Oh, and given the fun of wearing trifocals,
The current 5 generation Pedigree View shows 16 names in the last
generation. If I reduce the screen to half size on my 19" monitor, I can
just barely read the names. The 16 lines cover about 6 vertical inches. 10

I moved from FTM and had no problems. Some clean up was required as I had
broken trees and other issues not easily seen in FTM. I love Legacy and

Kathy,
I take it that you went through the merge process? Have you looked in the index
to see if the person is in your files but just not linked?
I have mine set not to reuse RINs so for me it would always be the lst item,
otherwise I guess it could be anywhere!

I split my file (my brother's family is not interested in my husband's
ancestors!) and a few names didn't get moved, so I tried to drag and drop
using the split screen. While it said the process was complete, the name I
copied does not appear in the new file. I must be doing something wrong.
Thought I was, but somehow I must have missed a step???

Look at Reports, Books/Other, Address Labels. I guess you could print
the labels on regular paper to use an address book, but if you're

You should rethink this. What you are really asking for is a way to isolate
changed files. This is easy to do but you need to retain a copy of the
database. To Clarify (for Pedigree Pages):

Keith,
That is precisely why I *never* change the RINS. There is also another problem
with Pedigree Pages. If the sources are put at the end of the pages, and then
if only new pages are inserted the reference numbers will be incorrect. Which
is why I put sources on each page.
Ron Ferguson
Some examples are:
Netherlands Death & Burials
Netherlands Births & Baptisms
1900 United States Census
So for clarification, the above should be the source and only use FSL
as the repository?
Thanks for your time.
