With the new year approaching, why not resolve to be a better relative by remembering family birthdays and anniversaries? Two features of Legacy Family Tree make this easy to do:
- Legacy's birthday and anniversary reminders described here.
- Legacy's Calendar Creator.
Legacy can create a birthday calendar, an anniversary calendar, or a combination of the two. There are options to include a cover picture, picture pages above each calendar month, and complete control over color, layout, shadows, fonts, page size, and more. The calendars can be blank or include the birthdates and anniversaries of the people already entered in your family file.
That's right! Because the information (birthdays and anniversaries) is already in your Legacy family file, Legacy will automatically add this to the calendar pages. With the who to include options, you can customize the calendar so only certain family lines are included. You even have the option to skip the anniversaries of divorced couples.
Get Started
To begin, make sure that you have installed Legacy Family Tree Deluxe Edition available here. Then follow these steps:
- With Legacy open, click on the Reports icon in the main toolbar.
- Click on the Books/Other tab, and click on the Calendar Creator button.
- Using the options on the six tabs, customize the calendar to your preferences.
- Print, and enjoy being the person in your family that never misses a birthday or anniversary!

It would be good to have a start and end year for the birthdays and anniversaries. As I have over 154,000 individuals the calendar uses 45 pages of all living individuals. And the tree is to large to tag all my family I need to keep track of.
I do use the option on each individual page when editing to show the dates on the bottom left of the Legancy Home page tab “Birthdays, Deaths, and Anniversaries”.
