Hi Anne, Well you found an option in Legacy that I didn't know existed. options for non-sources. That doesn't happen very often ;-) It sounds like you'll have to do them one by one though it may be easier if you used the copy to general notes option in the non-sources options and did it from

[LegacyUG] Restoring backup file

2014-10-07 Thread Liz Denis
I've just realized that I have deleted a bunch of notes under one particularly important ancestor. If I restore an old backup file (in order to copy the notes to paste to the new file), will I loose the new updated one? I'm afraid to click the restore button in case I get myself into more

Cathy? What if she ran a GED, then hand-inserted the event (type it once, then copy'n'paste) where it's needed, then re-import into a 2nd db and finish the process there? I try not to use Events so I've never done a GED with them in, but seems to me it might be faster. Cheryl Cathy Pinner

Perhaps I phrased poorly because I was heading to the use of atDNA as aid or key to solving classic genealogical problems, unquestionably within the province of Legacy. No atDNA tests in the list and several different types of DNA tests is only two, yDNA STR and mtDNA. For at least our 7.5
