Re: [LegacyUG] How best to share my database

[Cathy Pinner]

Leonard and others,
If you want to include Private data in a gedcom, then you need to use 
the Privacy Options and choose to include the parts you want.

By default, Private data is not included.

Note you also use the Privacy Options if you want to exclude the Living 
either entirely or just their details.

Leonard,

I got a clean import of my data to AQ by choosing export to GEDCOM,
then using the Legacy destination (I think this is the default showing
when you get to this screen).

I UNTICKED: keep embedded formatting codes within text

– (if left ticked, odd characters surround some words in AQ. It looks
like where I’ve bolded something in a note or title and AQ doesn’t
recognize the formatting codes).

I kept ticked: Override Source options – include all source information.

Now click on Customize

On this screen I ticked to EXCLUDE:

Address/Phone

Child status

Medical Notes

Research Notes

To do items

(I use the Research notes heavily and I don’t know if you can exclude
them from reports in AG so I didn’t include them in my export. They
will import if you want to include those. The Medical Notes I don’t
use for that purpose. If you use that field, let me know and I’ll do a
test to see how they are treated in AQ)

Click on OK and Select Filename and start export

Using these settings, my notes and photos are included in the import
to AQ and all expected information looks in place after import. Of
course, if you use photos, you would need to send a folder with those
maintained in the same folder structure and your recipient would need
to place that folder in exactly the same location on their hard drive
in order for the photo paths to be recognized.

I get a boatload of errors but looking through them, it is tags and
associations in Legacy that AQ doesn’t know what to do with so are
thrown out. Example: child relationship where I set a child as
biological for one parent and step child for the other parent.
Cremation tag isn’t recognized in AG, at least in the lite version.
The vitals information is correct, just doesn’t indicate a cremation.
If I used a Cremation event, that would be recognized as all of my
events appear to have been imported properly. Phone numbers and
addresses in some fields are seen as errors by AQ.

Other items in the errors log are the tags, which I use extensively in
Legacy. AQ doesn’t know what to do with those so they are discarded
and reported as an error.

All major information in my Legacy database appears to me to be
recognized and placed in proper fields in AQ.

I didn’t include my Research Notes as I use that note field heavily
and in the lite version of AQ, I don’t see a way of excluding those
from reports or Family Group Sheets. They clutter a printed report so
I just excluded them for export testing purposes. You may wish to
share your research notes. I don’t know if the full version of AQ
allows for excluding those when printing text reports. The lite
version does not.

I tried other GEDCOM settings by removing or adding items but
surprisingly, the settings mentioned above give me the best, cleanest
AQ import. If you’d like to see an example of what a report looks
like, where events and photos are included, I’d be happy to print,
scan and attach as a pdf to an email. Since I only have the lite
version of AQ, it doesn't appear I can actually save a report directly
to a PDF file.

I understand you are wanting the notes content to be exported. Using
the settings above, all of my notes were recognized by AG. I must
mention I do not use the Birth, Death, Burial notes fields accessed at
the end of the vitals fields. If you do and want to know if they
export and import OK, I’ll set up a little test to see how they are
handled. I do change Burial to Cremate, where appropriate and that tag
isn’t recognized by AQ.

Please let me know if I can try something else or help with further
testing.

Re: [LegacyUG] How best to share my database

[bobstree2]

Why install a different program,  go through various steps to export, result in 
maybe some missing data/info,  have different tools and menus and layouts,  
etc.? 
Just install free Legacy, send the file as is (no export needed), and open the 
file?   No cost, nothing lost, same tools to guide them through any questions.
