Mysterious curley brackets appeared next to individual's name [v. 7.4.0.6].
In family view I have the letter 'B' inside curley brackets and I don't know where it came from: John J. Smith {B }
Does anyone know how or why that was added to his name? When I go into 'edit individual' the 'B' does not appear. I have checked 'Help' and came up with nothing.

Thanks Legacy Family Tree for sponsoring the Immigration Family History Expo next week. And all of you attending remember you will have a chance to win the Acer Netbook PC that the Legacy group will be giving away to a lucky winner. And that's not all it will be preloaded with the latest and greatest Legacy software!

Thanks Legacy you are awesome!

Thanks for your info on pictures in Legacy. I assumed I had to put the pictures in the C:/Legacy/Pictures so since I don't that will save me some steps.

The pictures can be anywere on your computer. I don't use C:\Legacy\Pictures at all. Mine are on a separate hard drive in various folders. Legacy creates a link to the photo. If you re-organize [move] any of the linked photos the link is broken. I have done this a time or two. Relinking is easy though.

Thank you for responding to my picture question. I think I understand what each one does and Picture Center seems to be more useful. But does one have to use one method or the other or can I use whichever one I want when I want? Aren't all the pictures stored in the same Legacy Picture folder? As you can tell I am very new at Legacy.

Hi Karen:
The picture Gallery alows you to link pictures to an individual, a marriage or an event. The Picture Center allows you to view all the pictures and to whom they are attached. Using this you can attach the same group picture for instance to several individuals. Be sure to use the help files by clicking on the icon of the same name. Quick difference, but I hop it helps.

Which method is best? I moved all my family info into Legacy. Would someone who has been using the software for awhile let me know which is the best method to use for adding pictures - the Picture Gallery or the Picture Center?? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you. Karen

Ah. That is a feature I haven't used (seen) before. Thanks for the clarification.

Will,
When it works properly, after each main name will be shown the individuals ancestor line using initials. eg.:
Ron Ferguson (JAF,WAF,WF etc) meaning RonFerguson, son of JAF, grandson of WAF, great grandson of WF. The person's number is also added after the initial.

Sorry, I should have confirmed that I was using 7.4.0.6.

As far as I can see, it is working on my system (Vista sp2). Whatever name I select in Create Report for Descendants of'' I get a full report of descendants. (Albeit broken down into sections by Generation).

Even if I select my son (who is the starting person in Set Relationships) I get a report that shows his parents.
