I also have a similar situation, and I did basically the same as mentioned in the previous thread. Personally, I would record his Given Birth Name as shown on source documents. In my particular case, the ancestor had their Given Names changed legally, therefore, I created an event indicating

Hi Leo, Yes, I have used the set order button to place them in the order that I want them, however, the results are not consistent. Each time that Legacy starts up, the order may change, and there appears to be no logic (at least I can't find one) as to why that change occurs. Thanks for your

[LegacyUG] Compiler Information Comments

2011-06-11 Thread Charles Apple
Comments in the Compiler Information field do not print. I checked the LUG Archives and found that in 2007 that Legacy Support confirmed that this feature did not work, and that a problem report had been received. Would I be correct in assuming that this feature has still not been corrected?

Michelle, The beauty of Legacy is that everyone can enter data based upon their own individual preferences and style. Personally, I never delete a source, even when the information contained in the source has proven to be wrong. Instead, I add the source to a properly titled Disproven event

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the additional discussion of this system. Since you have re-numbered many of your MRINs, have you experienced any problems with Phantom RINs, or Phantom MRINs, or any other type of problems? I have read the Help Files and Legacy User's Manual that explains how to do
