Hi Alan, Go to Options > Customize. The second section of the General tab shows the family file options, Starting Family File. Select the option you prefer and look in the next section too, Starting Family. Be sure to look in the first section too - it has lots of options in how Legacy starts. I like to start with 'Legacy Home View' to get all the latest news and check for updates. My family file opens at the same time so I click on the Family tab when I am done with the new. I hope this helps

Hi Geoff, or anyone: I have been trying to save Family Tree and backing it up. But I seem to have done something.
Each time I open Legacy Family Tree. Instead of just opening it brings me to the Open Family File page, where I have to click the file which I want to open.
Can this be fixed
Regards Alan

No need for embarrassment, John... It's a lot to learn all at once!

Hi Kathleen.

That is exactly what I wanted and I am embarrased to learn that I had not found it. Thank you for pointing it out.

Hello John-

When you open the search box in Legacy, the 5th and last tab should be for "Missing Information." That should do what you want. Unless I misunderstood.

I have been using the search facilty in Legacy Deluxe 7.0. and I can use it fairly well now after watching the Legacy DVDs. However I am having trouble compiling a list of individuals with various details missing. At present they are left blank and I don't seem to be able to find a way to search for it. I have wondered about placing "unkown" there so I can search for that. e.g. if unknown was in a birth date field I could search: Individual, birth date, contains, unknown. Seems a drastic way to do it though. Any ideas?

Hello Bernard.

I'm not sure I completely understand your situation, but in general, I would use the person who sent me the email as the source (ie - personal knowledge of...). The rule of thumb for sourcing is that it should make it possible for you and others to find the information again. You may want to post this question as a discussion.

Also, check the group Sourcing Your Genealogy (http://www.genealogywise.com/group/sourcingyourgenealogy) - we've had some discussions there that might help, or you could post a discussion there yourself.

Hope that helps,
Kathleen

Thanks Bob, that is the second time you have rescued me.

oops, I see that my fingers didn't cooperate when I was typing 'children'.

Hopefully someone can help me with this. Normally when I receive a genealogy related email, I copy it to my forum (making sure to say it's from an email) and use the forum as the source. I only do it for simplicity sake as it's easier to keep track of the forum than emails.

My question: Is it okay to do this? If not, please explain something that would work better.

Thanks.
