A gedcom can transfer the data. A synch transfers the media. I use the
following to maintain my years of work which has individuals close to the
number in your treeI use Ancestry.com as my main place to save both data
and media. I synch to RootsMagic and Family TreeMaker. I do that because the
programs offer different options and if one stops working I have the backup of
the other. This has happened in the past and I don't want to go through that
again. I can save a gedcom from Ancestry.com and upload to Legacy, which I also
use, since there is no synch option. It took me 10 months and way too much time
with MyHeritage's IT Department to get that gedcom working on their site. I
like MyHeritage but I don't like their Family Tree Builder which has a known
bug. Even so, I was told several times by MyHeritage to just follow the
directions to use Family Tree Builder. Finally, I requested that I upload my
gedcom to IT and have them do it. They agreed and then said there was a problem
with the gedcom. Odd that none of the other software companies had issues with
it. So, I asked for my money back. Within a week they were able to get the
gedcom uploaded. Amazing, right?! Since I don't update the MyHeritage tree, in
the past, I'd just delete the old tree and then upload the newer gedcom every
year or so. Never had a problem until this past January. Took until October for
them to figure it out. I wouldn't have been persistent over this if I didn't
find it useful to connect with my eastern European family who uses it. I also
save to a stand alone hard drive and Cloud. Paranoia works when trying to
preserve your hard work.

Hi,
I know from asking this group many years ago that media is not uploaded with
gedcoms. I've asked myheritage.com is there any way of using all the work I've
done with numerous certificates and photos for most if not all individuals in
my 60,000 and growing tree, to be uploaded without their cumbersome one-by-one
loading of media? I was told to upload my Legacy 9 software to their
FamilyTreeMaker, and that it would transfer the media as I have it in each
individual's Media Gallery. I didn't spend more than 5 seconds to see that it
didn't work. The first thing that jumped out is that I am married when I have
marked in the Marriage Box the line that says "No Evidence that this couple
ever married". Is there a way to change that? I'd rather it say "This couple
didn't marry".
So I'm asking for a miracle - Is there a way that I can share what I have in
Legacy 9 with others besides the tree with no media on myheritage? Or is there
some wiz out there that would love to develop the necessary software?
Best to all,
Gloria
