Stanley, The install/uninstall issues that you are having are not Legacy problems. The problems are related to your system set up. If there was an issue with the Legacy installer, there would be many more reports of problems both on the list and directly to Legacy support. That does not

What is the name of your backed up file? For example mine is Falzini-1. I would click the orb in the bottom left of my computer and type in the name of my file and search for it this way. Perhaps you can try this method and see if you can locate it. If not perhaps others here will give other

This is a problem common to many of us, whatever the source. So I'll try to be helpful and not just suggest that it is somehow your fault, Stanley. Don't try any brute force uninstalls. You'll only leave junk in your registry. You need that install.log, so install Legacy 8

Stanley, I guess in one person's mind I need to apologize for trying to point you in the direction of looking at your system set up for your install/uninstall issues instead of having you think the problem is directly related to Legacy software. Not sure how it was interpreted that I was

Thanks for some of your suggestions. Here is what worked for me, in case anyone else might need a similar remedy. Apparently, my mistake was using Control Panel to remove Legacy8, on two different machines that failed (Win7 Win8). To recover, go to \Program Files (x86)\Legacy8\Backup and copy

There appears to be no rhyme nor reason. It is simply adding a new Source and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Today, I opened the file and the first thing I did was add a new source and it happened. Step 1: I opened the file and clicked, My Toolbar Master Lists Source Add.

Have you looked for a Henry Williams etc in the next census from when you have the daughters listed? My guess is you will find at least one or two of those men with wives of the names you are looking for - comparing birth years on the wives may help. If you do find them you can start looking for

Well that's the plan. It's just the before-you-get-to-that-point problem. Until I find out, how do you handle it? It's not a 'how do you research it' question, but what do you do BEFORE you can research it question. I guess my question was a bit fuzzy. On Sat, Jun 7, 2014 at 3:48 PM, Jackie

To be quite honest with that situation, I usually just add a note to each of the three girls saying they may be Smith, etc.and why. I do have one family like this that has driven me nuts for a number of years and it was 8 girls. I now have them all whittled down to the last two so at least a

I just enter all the daughters and enter three married names for them, I remove a name as I find the right husband G It took me nearly 5 years to find my greatgrandmothers sisters, I did have towns for them and would search Mary (Kinsey, Keefer, Cosser) The Mary was Kinsey and fairly easy to find
