I guess I'm too used to using PAF, but I can't figure a way to get a list of all the people who died after 1860 who have no birthdates. The Missing Info tab gives me people who have neither bd nor dd but whose children are born in the late 1700s as well as those who meet my criteria. The other

Cheryl, I have not used PAF, so I cannot make a direct comparison. The important thing to understand is that with Legacy one can in effect make customised searches by combining the various searches and tagging. These are all found under SearchFind. Commonly this may involve the use of Detailed

Great things are afoot! Will Legacy 8 override/replace Legacy 7? Will there be any way to compare 8 7 before making the conversion? For example - can 7 8 both be installed on the same computer or will there be a way to use a split screen view? The past flexibility of Legacy may be an impediment

One note, the odds of someone who died before 1967 being in the SSDI are slim. sometimes if a child or widow was drawing on the account and died ( or ceased drawing) after 1967 the death of someone who died in the 1950's might show up. Eliz Not Today and Not without a Fight (Anon) For all that
