Rapport - Migration 

The Migration report is reached by choosing Other Reports > Migration Report from the Reports tab on the Ribbon bar.

It is interesting to see where the descendants of a particular ancestor spread out to over time.  New towns, new counties, new states or provinces, new countries.  People move, striking out for new opportunities or to avoid unpleasant situations.  Give Legacy a starting person and it will gather all the descendants, see where they were born and produce a nice report on the results.

Options tab

• Report Title - Make any changes to the default report that you want to.

• How Many Generations - Select the number of generation you want to go forward.  One generation back would be a person's children.  If you want to see the migration starting with a great-grandparent, set the number to 3.  If you want to include all the descendants of a person in your family file, set it to a number higher than the number of generations you have recorded - perhaps 999.  Legacy will stop when it gets to the youngest generation in each line and will let you know how far down it went.

• Migration Scope

 Include starting person and all descendants - This is the usual setting when gathering descendant migration.  It includes the starting person's birth location in the results.  The birth location isn't really part of the migration of the descendants but it is nice to include the starting location.

 Include all descendants (excluding starting person) - The birthplace of the starting person is not taken into account.

• Report Elements

 Include location percentage list - This option includes a listing of the various birthplaces gathered from the descendants arranged in descending percentage order.

 Include location bar chart - This option mirrors the information shown in the percentage list but displays it as a horizontal bar chart giving a more visual representation of the migration.

 Include both - Includes both the percentage list and the bar chart representations of the migration.

• Start the chart on a new page - When including both the percentage list and bar chart, this option causes the bar chart to be placed on the next page after the percentage list is complete.  When both elements will fit on one page, it is usually best to print them that way, thus saving paper.  However, when the percentage list or the bar chart takes more than one page each, starting the chart on its own page looks better.

• For US Locations

Stay at country level - Legacy has the ability to breakdown US locations by state. (More country breakdowns will be added in the future.)  If you would like to stay at the country level, select this option.

Go down to the state level - This option gathers locations down to the state level.

Show US flag - Shows the US flag icon for all US locations, even if collecting at the state level.  (The option to include flags is on the Format tab described below.)

Show state flag - If collecting location at the US state level, this option shows the state flags.

• Include a List of any Unrecognized Locations

As Legacy is gathering birthplace information, it sometimes comes across locations that are not recognized as containing either a country name or US state name.  A list of these locations can be included in the report for you to look at.  Oftentimes these are either a variant spelling of a country or are out-and-out misspelled names that will need to be corrected.  Legacy includes two files that contain recognized country and state names.  If you have a valid variation of a country name, perhaps the name of a country in a different language, or one that used to be spelled a different way, you can add that variation to the GeoCountryCodes.txt file.  You can use a text editor to add it to the correct country group in the file.  US state information is contained in GeoStateCodes.txt.
