I'm finding more and more people - even among those I've had for a long time - without Goal: Death suggestions but like I said before, it's not because I'm relying on them, it's that it appears to be a bug that I am reporting it, but I want more bug verification before I report it officially.

Re: [LegacyUG] Lumping vs. Splitting

I think that one advantage of shared events comes from the fact that you only have one copy of each piece of citation data. As far as I can tell the Legacy database is not normalized in the sense that it is easily possible to take, for example, a citation and copy rather than link it into several

Hi Kathy, No, unfortunately! Not in Legacy anyway but it's easy with ltools or MS Access. In Legacy when you do a search, say for all marriages in Toledo you get results showing Individuals and Ind tags. Even if you fag marriages one at a time you still can't display them in a list. -- Richard

Re: [LegacyUG] Research guidance - Goal with no suggestions

In comparing Legacy 8.0 to 7.5 I found that in Legacy 7.5 the Research Guidance would use estimated dates and places for events. It then used these estimated values for suggesting sources for the Goal tabs. In Legacy 8 the program no longer uses estimated dates or locations and, as a result,

Hi y'all, I think there has been a lot of good advice on this very important question. First, does your present version work properly for you. Does it do all you want it to do? Second, do you want more, another feature or three? Third, is the update version really ready? Or is it having issues?
