[LegacyUG] Divorced?

Before I accidently reset my customizations, if a person was divorced it would have the word (divorced) on the family view next to the marriage date/place. How do I get that back? I can't find where I can change it. michele Legacy User Group guidelines:

Michele, Basically, you need to use FileExportLegacy and then Import into your file. Set to import to your file with s starting RIN greater than the last in your file. I guess your husband is in both files so you will need to merge him into the husband in your current file and ant other

RE: [LegacyUG] combining two files

When you import all the info and sources are brought in. The option to assign an autosource allows you to say where the data came from. It adds an extra source to the data. I used to ignore this when I imported and only later came to realise how important it was to identify where the data came

Re: [LegacyUG] combining two files

Yes, all your sources will be imported. If you have duplicate people in both databases, Legacy will try to automatically merge those people and the ones is cannot merge it will let you determine whether to merge them. This is why you need to backup your original file before you start this merge

RE: [LegacyUG] combining two files

Michele, I'm going off memory here, but I think the source you are referring to is a source for the compiler of the imported file(s) (eg. yourself). Including this does not change the sources in the imported file but adds what you state to be the source of the import files in the unspecified

It can be any of several things. Creating a new source 'Aunt Mary'(her Gedcom stuff) to add to the whole group, or yourself, or when merging two or more databases, identifying them by a meaningful (to you) name. Rich in LA CA --- On Thu, 9/18/08, ronald ferguson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Michelle, Drag and Drop works very will. Use the Split Screen view, with each file showing, then drag a person from one file and drop him on the same person on the other file. (Legacy merge works very well, and preserves links. It is easier to leave your husband on both files, then merge.) You

Obviously, you need to choose only the people you want. The program can't guess that which is why you keep coming up with everyone. If you look toward the bottom of the Gedcom export box there's a button there called 'Record Selection'. You can choose Focus Group (i.e. descendants of a

Welcome. You seem to have some complex issues but I will give it a stab. First, I do not think you should import the GED you made. The likely result of that is to create duplicate individuals and make an even bigger mess. For the siblings that are now half brothers and sisters, you probably
