If I make a Pedigree Chart for a great-grandparent or earlier, none of the boxes are colored in.Ģ) I noted that the source list had put all of the sources for a name or Event in one source number, separated by four periods. When I make a pedigree chart for one of my parents, only the boxes for my parent and grandparents are colored in. My expectation was that all of the boxes would be colored in. It colored the boxes for myself, my parents and my grandparents, but not for the ancestors in earlier generations. That sounded promising, so I went to the "Tools" menu, clicked on the "Set Ancestor Colors" and for the "Ancestor Group 1" tab I selected the "Track the eight great-grandparents lines with eight colors" and clicked on the "Apply Ancestor Group 1 colors" and saw on the "Pedigree" View: Go to Tools - Set Ancestor Colors and be sure you select yourself as the starting person." I think you have to set the ancestor colors before they will show up. My expectation was that all of the boxes in the pedigree chart would show the color scheme when this was checked.ĭebbie Blanton McCoy comm ented: " Randy, the 4 colors show up in my report.

So if you buy it now, you will be able to update it for free when updates occur.ī) In First Look at Legacy Family Tree Version 8.0 - Post 2: Pedigree Charts (posted 28 November 2013), I had a problem with several items, including:ġ) The four-line color coding didn't work for me when I clicked on the radio button in the "Custom Color" screen. My answer is this: While this is the initial release, I'm pretty sure that updates to Version 8.0 will be free to registered users and will be ongoing over the years. Do you advise waiting to purchase until some of the bugs are out?"

I use the Help function, and check the available online videos when I need more information about how to do something I haven't done before.ģ) Anonymous inquired: " Just read your latest post. It appears to me that the last four video items mentioned on the chart are from before Legacy 8. There is a "What's New in Legacy 8" video at, and that web page has a comparison chart. There are many changes, and many new features, in Legacy 8.0 over Legacy 7.5 and earlier, so the Legacy 8.0 book may be helpful if that is your preference. I look forward to hearing your thoughts."

Can I get by with the upgrade alone or would you recommend buying the support materials for version 8? I'd like to make the purchase all at one time if possible.

I own the manual and DVDs to support version 7.
I would like your opinion on what to purchase. I think what Lauren is saying is that, on the "Individual' s Information" screen, you can see the list of Events and that there is an icon indicating the presence of a Source and/or a Media item (or not) for the Events, but they cannot see a Source or Media icon for the vital record (e.g., Birth, Marriage and Death) Events, as shown below:Ģ) TangledRo ots asked: " I've been anxiously awaiting this update. While they did for events (you can see what sources and media you have for each item), it doesn't appear that you have the same ability for b, m, d.the most important events." I was really hoping that Legacy would adopt more of the RootsMagic spreadsheet approach. I'm sure those issues will be addressed in upcoming versions/upgrades. It seems most of my issues stem from changing settings from the default - primary family, colors, etc.

There are lots of really neat features that I'd hoped to 'test drive.' However, I'm running Legacy on a Mac using Crossover.not sure if that is what is causing the 'bugginess' or if others on PCs are experiencing the same issues. I've had some helpful reader comments about my two Legacy Family Tree Version 8.0 blogp osts to date, including:Ī ) In First Look at Legacy Family Tree Version 8.0 - Post 1: A Walk Around the Menus, Buttons and Tabs (posted 27 November 2013):ġ) Lauren Mahieu noted: " I agree - the look and feel of the UI is great.
