"Carolyn, At the bottom right of every Family View page are 3 boxes with the letters "H", "M", "W" followed by a number, these are the husband's RIN, MRIN and wife's RIN respectively. Go to the view for the…"

"Carolyn Firstly: As a rule NEVER delete someone to remove them from a family group. You should un-link them. Deleting removes the person from the family file, unlinking keeps the person in the file but removes their name from the current…"

"Hey Jude, there are slight differences. You are correct in the use of the Delete key - it will simply delete the selected text. While Ctrl+X is actually the Cut command. This will cut the selected text AND hold it in memory [the Clipboard]. That way…"

"I can't think of a place where it doesn't work. Another good one is CTRL-X for deleting selected text. But so does the delete button."

"Go to the set which no children. right click on the marriage information line and select remove the marriage link. That will remove the second marriage for the couple and leave only the one with the children."

Technology Tip: restoring old photographs

With today's technology, not much really surprises me anymore. However, as I am writing this, I am nearly stunned at what I am looking at.

I have a brittle, old photograph of my 3rd great-grandfather, David Brown (there I go again talking about my Browns...). Time has faded and cracked the photo. Many years ago I scanned/digitized the photo to preserve its current state. I really did not think there was much hope in ever restoring the photo to my…

Great Webinar yesterday on the 1940 Cenus and also your book, "The Official Unofficial Guide to Legacy arrived just yesterday so I began reading that last night. I am enjoying it thoroughly and love your sense of humor and little comments you make. As advertised, it is not the run-of-the-mill manual that we all hate "reading." You sure are a busy guy! Keep up all the good work and as my grandfather used to say, "It's always a great day for genealogy but you have to make the time for it."

At 11:16pm on February 2, 2010, RayDean Hill said…: Hey, Geoff, I got thinking about it some more, and if / when you re-publish my comments about Legacy & FamilySearch, you might want to add a disclaimer that I am not speaking officially for FamilySearch and/or the LDS Church. I would hope that's obvious, but I certainly don't want to over-step my bounds anywhere...

Thanks again for the invite to test Legacy FS. I'm looking forward to it!

At 5:09pm on February 2, 2010, RayDean Hill said…: Geoff,
Feel free to re-publish my comments as you feel is appropriate. (I don't know that all of it would make sense away from the context of the original comments.) You can especially add the part about "Please hurry with 7.5!" :)
By the way, is there any way to get included in the "special group of testers" that got to help with the final testing of 7.4? In case you can't tell, I'm chomping at the bit! :)
Thanks for a great product! --RayDean

Glad to join your group and willing to help others of what I know of Legacy.
BUT I would appreciate help on how to load pictures into Legacy - I am going round in circles.........
You must be busy - kindly direct me to someone. After a couple emails I would like to phone and go over the step by steo instructions.
Adding pictures to my, Manitoulin Family Trees database is very imporation to me.

I sent in a complaint by clicking on "report issues" you find at the bottom of the page. There's lots of information on the Internet about this scam. This is just one link:

We don't need this nonsense on GenWise. Put in a complaint when you get a chance.

I see all my friends are getting this makemoneywith-google also. Who can we complain to? I do not want any soliciations like this on my page.

Geoff, have a look at this for me, Thanks

At 7:58pm on August 18, 2009, Roger Dixon said…: I'll try to get it done by the weekend, OK.

At 7:31pm on August 18, 2009, Roger Dixon said…: I am an avid fan of Legacy having used it for a number of years now. I'm based in Scotland and am impressed with the amount of UK content you have given your software. There are some things which people are commenting about at the moment, especially sync'ing. I would like to try to write a full article explaining this aspect as it really is relatively easy. Would you be interested in proofing it if I did so?
