Tony,
Please do continue with your efforts to get this suggestion accepted. It is
not often that we see one which, in my option at least, would be of great
value. I wish you every success with it.

A benefit of suggesting Location AKA's is that Legacy already has a design for
doing AKA's - might get implemented more quickly (or at all). Perhaps if the
date-linked suggestion builds on the AKA design? (It would be nice if we

Those are files and not folders. Do not delete any of them as they
work with your Family File. They must be in the same folder as your
Family File.
Take a look at the Help file in Legacy under File Extensions to find
out what they're for. There's a long list - scroll down past the .usr
files.
