I have my 4 generation report almost finished.  The problem I am having is that I have never used research calendars like what is used in ICAPGen.  I use the To-Do List in Legacy to keep track of things and a lot of my stuff is just in my notes.  What is the best way to go back and put together these research calendars?  I won't have correct dates for any of it.  This research spans 20 years!

Also, do I need research calenders just on the 4 main couples?  I am at a loss how to do this part of it.

Michele,

I vote you just do your best to reconstruct a research calendar from your notes, To Do Lists, and your best guess of what order you researched.  Guesstimate the dates.  The notes and To Do Lists are probably both listed somewhat chronologically within Legacy.  It will be kind of a pain, but it should hopefully meet the requirement for the application.  I had a similar situation where several years' worth of research -- some of it when I was just learning about research -- had to be compiled into an after-the-fact research log.  It's tricky, but it can be done.

If I remember right, you are correct -- you only need research logs/calendars for the four main couples.

Best wishes to you as you continue!

Michele,

You should be able to follow your citations along the way to recreate your research calendar.

You only want the individuals who are in your report on your pedigree chart.
