But the .CFG file most likely does not contain any genealogical data; only data that the computer needs to display the info from the programs main data file which the OP does not mention if she has. In this case, her .CFG is similar to Legacy's .USR files which contain info about the user's

The link Sherry from Support gave is helpful, so when I opened a copy of the file with Notepad among the spaces and strange combination of characters identified "Mindscape Family Tree Creator Deluxe". Which brought to my recall that the person who gave the file to me used a family tree software

Thanks Russ, the website you suggested seems to offer the software. I'm not interested in purchasing more software. I'm hoping that someone has _Mindscape Family Tree Creator Deluxe_ on their computer and will volunteer to help me with this file. The file is named "McDowellDescendents" which

Is there any way to make all the boxes in a chart the same size? Sizing options controls the length but not the width independently. “Make all boxes the same” in the Box option controls the shape. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages

RE: [LegacyUG] cgf to Legacy

Aha, it sounds as if you do have a genealogical data file from the other software program and that is what you wish to view. Without purchasing a copy, you'd need to find someone who already has the program and would be willing to open your file and hopefully save it back into a GEDCOM file

[LegacyUG] Gay Marriage and Adoption

Now that gay marriages are legalized and whether we agree with them or not some may have them in their family. How do you record them, and the children that may be adopted between the couple? I know this has in the past caused controversy but now that it’s legalized how do we deal with it.

RE: [LegacyUG] cgf to Legacy

The OP can most likely open the .CFG file using Notepad which generally will display everything in a text-like fashion. Yes, you can even open .JPG files using Notepad but instead of seeing a graphic, you’ll be greeted with a bunch of mumbo-jumbo text. If you look closely at the .JPG in
