Legacy - Using Bookmarks

From the Family Tree Forum Reference Library

Bookmarks are place holders you can drop on an individual or a couple so that you can return to them later. There are two kinds of bookmarks: Regular and Quick. Both kinds are visible on all the tabs of the main page, i.e., Family, Pedigree, etc.


At the bottom of the main window, just above the bottom status bar, are three bookmark boxes labeled with a small 1, 2, and 3. These are Quick Bookmarks.

  • Set: Highlight person you want to bookmark then right-click inside any of the three boxes. The name will appear in the box.
  • Jump: To go to that person, click on the name in the box.
  • Clear: To clear the box, hold down the Ctrl button and right-click in the box.


At the bottom left of the main window, immediately to the left of the quick bookmark boxes, is an icon that looks like a blue book; this is used to set/use/clear Regular Bookmarks. Bookmarks may be set for up to 200 people.

  • Set: Highlight the person you want to bookmark and then right-click the icon.
  • Jump: To go to that person click on the icon and double-click the name.
  • Clear: To clear a bookmark click the icon, highlight the name, and click Remove.
