Bill, thanks for the comments but can you translate into simple stupid for me. I would like to get the data off Ancestry as simply as possible for me. I am a two-finger typist, struggling with sourcing, clipboards etc. It literally can take me a day to enter a handful of Marriage registrations. I thought I could safely upload my tree into Ancestry, with a few clicks save this data on my tree and then export back into Legacy. Is this possible or is it too risky to bother with? I have a hard time understanding what you have written below
>>you would have to use FTM (is FTM Ancestry software?) to merge the data and images, but keep Legacy updated at the same time by copying over the data manually and linking the images manually as well (then why would I bother using FTM if I am copying manually?) >> do all your data keeping in the software (I assume you mean Legacy) and upload not the other way around (how and what do I upload to Legacy- each individual source such as an individual's marriage reg?). You never know what trick the company is going to pull so that your online data is no longer downloadable. At least if you keep it local you have some control over it. You can always download the images and copy/paste the text right into Legacy (now I'm lost - upload/download, copy/paste right into Legacy/manually??)
