I have it running complete with thumbnail pictures of each person on
my Dell netbook, and thanks to Dropbox, it syncs with Legacy on my
main computer. I have the deluxe version of Legacy on both.

Jerry,
I have not really been following this thread, and to be honest I am not sure
whether Search and Replace and Find work in the same way or not. But, you
questions leads me to ask whether you are considering the the numbers which
appear during Search and Replace as RINs or MRINs, if so, as
Bruce,
It is my understanding that provided there is enough memory, which is
generally the case, it will run on any Windows Netbook.

Then, in Legacy Charting you want an Hour-Glass Chart based on you.

Hi Jerry
Can you find an individual that has an invisible date, tag that person,
and then export a gedcom of all the tagged persons data? If so you might
see the date in the gedcom.

I don't know how far along you are, but I would've started with the smaller

a big job. Or, like when I converted from FTM to Legacy, if

Could you create the Legacy report in Rich Text format and then edit it
to leave only the direct line using

Why can't you just use tagging? Tag the individuals you want and then

Good Morning Michele,
As you well know, most folks start out in this hobby without any formal
training; just a curiosity as to where they came from. Thus, they start
collecting information. It is only after they are bitten by the genealogy bug
hard enough to take a course or join a list
What you say is true. I too did the same thing when I first started. I am
only saying that you should not add unsourced material to your file so I
think we agree on that! (You said, I am critical to those that utilize
information located from any source without verifying it for themselves.)
The
It worked! I tagged 3 generations and exported. The only thing that it had
to do was add the children of the one 3rd generation ancestor I am
interested in. if I had added a 4th generation, it would have added the
children of all of his siblings too so I didn't do that. I just went back
and
I'm glad it worked Michele! Dennis was definitely the key person here
because I didn't realize that you couldn't tag people for that kind of
report :)
I learned something useful too!

Michele, I haven't read all the posts yet, but are you doing a chart or a report?Sounds like a report, but can you get the info you need in the chart instead? And I think you can turn off the lines in a chart.
Or maybe turn off all the notes and sources in the report options when you run the

If you use Legacy Charting you can create your chart from a GEDCOM file,
