Norma, go to menu HelpGeneral Information and see if the number of Individuals match the name list count. And Like Cathy said make sure ALTERNATE and MARRIED names are not ticked under the name list OPTIONS. My name list has 18,767 individuals and HelpGeneral Information matches. I do have a

You can also see that information on the Legacy Home tab, which is a lot quicker to get to! You would only have more individuals than RINs if you're showing the AKAs or married names Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 9:15 AM, Laird

I don't seem to be able to get the parameters correct. Instead of getting the ancestor with no parents, I get several of that line. I also get people who were too old to be in the 1790 census, even though I have specified that census in the choice box. Jane On 3/13/2014 1:38 AM, Cathy Pinner

Even if you have not been consistent in inputting locations, the Master Location List is probably still the way to go. Try different options under the Sort button -- sorting by City, County, State or State, County, etc. and listing from right to left v. left to right. My locations are not

When you look at the Master Location List (View -- Master Lists -- Location...), notice that the first column on the right is labeled Tag. Tick the boxes for the locations you want Tagged, and these will be the locations that show up in your Locations Report. Joseph Leavitt On 3/13/2014 2:45

Hi Norma, It seems odd if your largest RIN is smaller than the number of people. I really don’t see that actually happening as each person has to be assigned a number. If the number is larger than the number of people – that is normal, particularly after some adding, deleting, merging
