Legacy LVUG Community

I poked around the Legacy help files a bit but couldn't figure out the answer to my question, so here I am. I'm starting out with Legacy and have entered direct line ancestors for me and my husband.  I've input birth and death dates and tagged the 150 direct line ancestors with Tag 1. I have started entering the 1910 census and my tree is starting to grow as I add siblings to my direct line ancestors.  I want to concentrate my Legacy research on the direct line. As my tree grows how can I best generate a report that will show me the direct line ancestors who should be on a certain census? For example, when I get to inputting the 1880 census, how can I generate a list of Tag 1 individuals who should be in the 1880 census? I shouldn't have to sift through hundreds of other individuals as the tree grows. I'm sure there's a way to generate a list of Tag 1 individuals alive in 1880, for example. Thanks!

I'm moving from FTM 2014 to Legacy 8. My import is done.  I figure I'd start by cleaning up my direct line ancestors first and re-writing their citations using the SourceWriter.  MY FTM 2014 citations are all in the format  automatically generated from syncing with Ancestry.com.  I've decided to start with the 1910 Federal Census listing my grandfather.  Basically I should set up the 1910 Census using SourceWriter and, after I am satisfied all information is properly recorded, delete the old 1910 sourcing and information pulled over  FTM 2014, correct?

I just imported from FTM 2014 into Legacy 8 and plan to work in Legacy from here on out.  The check/repair report in Legacy says I need to verify/correct the gender of one wife.  When I clicked on "Nancy", sure enough she was listed as a male. :)  All of the data entry boxes on her individual Information form appear editable except for gender.  "Female" and "?" are grayed out and I cannot change her gender from male to female.  What now? I also have another marriage where the report says I need to verify/correct the gender of a husband, but he is marked down as male and his wife is female so I presume I tell the program to ignore that error from here on out.

I'm wanting to switch from Family Tree Maker 2014 to Legacy and at some point I need to cut off building my family tree on Ancestry.com and syncing it to FTM 2014  (to pull in the media).  I plan to export from FTM 2014 into Legacy (to pull in the media).   I am almost done with the direct line ancestors (I also record their siblings)  through the early to mid-1800's. (comparing entries with source documents and excellent family research done by cousins)  I'm not adding the direct line ancestors from the 1700's yet (even though I can "see" them at Ancestry.com) because of lack of documentation and conflicting research.   Can I work on the descendant line for my great-great-great-great aunts and uncles separately at Ancestry.com and then export that particular little Gedcom to Legacy (via FTM 2014 to retain media) and attach it without problem? That way I could have the best of all worlds.  Doing research and documentation in Legacy ...

I've decided to use Legacy as my genealogy program and would like your opinions as to my current plan of research.  I currently use Family Tree Maker 2014 so I can get the media downloaded to my computer quickly but I do plan to switch to Legacy. I have been extremely fortunate to have 3/4 of the family stay put in two spots since the early to mid 1800's.  The Irish Catholic 1/4 all arrived in 1840-1870 and married other Catholic families in the same county until the mid-1900's.   The other half all lived within 20 miles of each other (straddling a county line) and married the boy/girl next door for 150 years.  I have cousins who have generously supplied me with copies of their decades of research on this branch. In other words, I have a lot of documentation I can get online at Ancestry.com fairly quickly through public records.  (I look at the census reports, etc and make sure it all agrees with my cousin's research/Irish Catholic records I hav...
