Family Group Sheet AND notes

Family Group Sheet AND notes

In trying to prepare a family group sheet for my ancestor and her spouse and children, I find that notes for the two children and ancestor are NOT included.

The update for Legacy 8 was supposed to fix this problem; I have updated to 8.0.0.454.

I am not happy at all with the family group sheet set up; and have not tried other reports since the 8.0 version was installed.

I had not previously looked, and I find you are correct. Even with all the check marks, only event notes for the children show up. No birth or death notes. They don't show up in the Chronology report either, even though all things are checked.

BUT, in the Chronology 'tab' all notes show up, including the death note on a baby that I had recorded just last night. (transcribed the whole death certificate into the death notes). IF I had put the certificate into a death 'even't it would then show up on family group sheets.

Just checked on Legacy 7.5 & confirm it does report all notes on it.

I can't remember if this was brought up or discussed on the LUG or not. Will have to do a check. I too like all notes to show up on family pages. I had just not made any on Legacy 8 and so had not realized they were missing.

Wish I had an answer for you or a suggestion, but I don't. Guess they need more bug reports on missing parts of reports. (Granted, doing a complete overhaul of their software like they did, does create bugs where there weren't any and it 'will' take time to get them all fixed.)

I just received this message (below) from someone Legacy (I had sent them same message as the one here). I tried this and it actually works.


This General Notes problem has been reported by others. It is logged in our bug tracking system as issue 5481: "Legacy 8 - Family Group Record Options for General Notes don't work correctly." The work around is to check mark all three Notes options General, Search and Medical. When all three are check marked then the children's General Notes will print.

Ah, okay. Thanks. Hmmm, before I wrote my reply, I had pulled up to do a quick family group sheet, checking it out... and glanced through my settings to see if there was something that you weren't catching or if anything had changed, etc..., and I saw I had those 3 checked and thought, "no, I don't want general and research, I just want death cause, birth/death/burial & event notes"... so... I unchecked research and general notes... and voila, only event notes for the children printed... just like you said...

So, I had it right to start with. Meaning I had learned that little 'quirk' in the past and then forgot about it. oops... 0_o

Sheesh, ya know?

Okay, glad you found an answer though and thanks for sharing it so I could "relearn" it. ^_^
