Temple Tab
When the Temple tab is first displayed, some changes are made to the main Name List. The three tag level columns are replaced by five new columns labeled B, E, P, S and
C ( Baptism, Endowment, seal to Parents, seal to Spouse and seal Children).
The top portion of the tab area on the right includes six lines displaying the birth and death data along with the date and temple entries for baptism, endowment, sealing to parents and sealing to spouse. Below this information are several buttons and lists. Each is described
below:
Parents
The Parents list show the names of each set of parents linked to the current individual highlighted in the Name List on the left.
Spouses/Children
This list shows all the spouses linked to the currently highlighted person in the Name List. Below each spouse is listed all the children from that union.
Comments
The longer box at the bottom of the Temple tab shows comments associated with any command to qualify an individual or family for ordinance work. For example, this box may show that a person needs a date and place in order to qualify.
Estimating Dates and Places
Selecting this option lets Legacy try to estimate missing dates and places that are required for qualification. This is done by looking at surrounding relatives to see if they have actual dates and places that can be used for estimating purposes.
