[LegacyUG] Include this citation on reports

I noticed, for some reason, some of my detail citations are not appearing on reports ... and the culprit is that the Include this Citation on Reports checkbox was unchecked. I don't know how or why they became unchecked, but no matter. Is there a way to have Legacy mass check every citation? Or

Re: [LegacyUG] Unknown spouse

2011-02-08 Thread Scott Hall
There are a few ways. One, if you have a mother with no father attached, and simply create a child, no RIN will be assigned to the unknown father.  An MRIN will be, which is unavoidable. Two, if you create a unlinked child and then link it to a mother only, the child will attach to the mother

After I hit send, I thought of something else you might want to know. Because the children were from different fathers, you may wish to show them as half siblings. To do this you'll have to temporarily create fathers, then delete them. Create father #1 (call him anything) and create child #1.

You can just ignore it, can't you?  When the verifier comes up, click OK and move on.  A little annoying that you'll get the pop-up every time you enter Norfolk County, but it doesn't stop you from entering the county in your file.  Tell me if I'm misunderstanding your concern. BTW, you should

Given that the OP said she wasn't a computer expert makes me wonder why she'd want to do this also, but if the reason is solely to perform queries or create custom reports beyond the interface's capability, then it would be best to open the file and then make a copy from which to work. Certainly

iMac user here ... the rest of the responses are spot on. Legacy only runs on Windows, but you can run Windows on a Mac. I use Fusion, which allows Windows to run virtually, meaning I can switch back and forth between the Windows and Mac OS sides easily. Also, as stated, though, you don't need

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot color code a single individual. If I'm wrong, others will correct me and I'll learn something too. The Surety field is generally used for this kind of stuff, but that's connected to sources (Source Detail). You could, however, use sources to document

I'm stuck on how to do a mass replace for a family name at one point a son changed the spelling of his surname from that of his parents. I've isolated all of his descendants with tagging, but can't figure out how to replace the surname for all of the tagged records at once ... there are 421

Yea, thanks. I don't want to globally change the surnames, I want to change it for a select group of people. The name is valid for plenty of other folks. Clearly no option in Legacy itself, I haven't had a chance to see if an existing LTools does it yet. On Fri, Apr 18, 2014 at 1:06 PM,
