Stitching Update…Lots of pics

  LHN Family Sampler (excuse my crooked house…not sure why it looks like that) American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor.  I love stitching on this; I did however run out of the Brethren Blue.  I decided to put this down for a little while and have picked up the family sampler again. A close up! HAED Natures Mourning.  I have not worked on this in a while.  I plan to stitch on LHN Family Sampler until Friday and then work on this next. Last but not least is a little freebie that I did before Christmas.

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to  World War II History Network  and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable.  You can find the database at  Casualty Cards Database.

I could delete Ray but then I would have to add all of his information to Raymond {I don't like typing that much}.   Legacy has a merge feature built in that will allow you to combine duplicate people in your database.  Since they are father and son Legacy will not let me merge the two.  First, I have to unlink Raymond from his parents and then I can merge them. After I unlinked Raymond I went to Ray {the father} and then clicked on the Tools tab in the top menu bar in Legacy and then clicked on Merge Duplicates. {See image below}. You are given 3 options 1 Manual Merge, 2 Find Duplicates, and 3 Not-Dup list {this gives you a list of individuals marked as not duplicates}.  I chose the first one, Manual Merge which you can see in the image above.  {If you choose Find duplicates Legacy will look in your database for duplicate entries and let you decide what to merge.} The
