I just used Search Internet to search FindAGrave.

I just used Search Internet to search Findagrave for my great grandmother.  Nice tool but it doesn't include married female's married name, only maiden so is almost guaranteed to fail. Is there a way to get Legacy to use FAG's 'include maiden name' checkbox?

Tuesday's Tip - Playing with t master event list.

Looking for people in specific places and they are in your mailing, event or repository address lists? Perhaps you are looking for everyone in a particular cemetery or church or from your entries with FindAGrave? Let's take a look at the Master Event List and play around with the options. Ron Heroux (and many of the rest of us) - this one is for you ( but it is not really "all about addresses" ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZrge2EYPw0

How do I find all ancestors buried in the same cemetery?

How do I find all ancestors buried in the same cemetery?  I tried the Search feature, but while notes-burial and burial place are searchable, cemeteries are put in address-burial field, and this is not one of the available fields for searching.

Working with your source details in SourceWriter.

I would first decide how you want your sources grouped together in your master source list.  For example I use only one Census source for each census; all 1880 Census regardless of where they are from get the same master source.  I spent a lot of time cleaning up sources and grouping them together so they were easier to find.  The source list name can be anything you want it to be; anything that will make easy and quick to find the source you are looking for.   +Mary Charlotte Hall

Is there a hangout today?  I seem to recall hearing in a webinar or seeing a post somewhere that there was a hangout sometime today.  How would I join?
