Occasionally I see MyHeritage hints – very occasionally. Just wondering why this is, or whether other people on this list are also seeing the same. Not sure if this link is persistent, but here is the latest Hint I have seen –

Re: [LegacyUG] Anyone know of a quick way to duplicate an individual?

2019-06-02 Thread Ian Thomas
individuals that are not those you want to ‘duplicate’). However, you may need to consider this. The .GED file created will not have links to or “contain” media files (images, etc and other files treated as “media” by Legacy). Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia From: LegacyUserGroup

I believe that the Legacy cloud backup is broken, and it has been for a couple of weeks. Check back through the email messages, about the expected time for completion of the various fixes - possibly several days more? Meanwhile, why don't you backup to your free Microsoft OneDrive cloud?

Taking up Cathy’s last point, I find that unlinking wrongly-entered or attached people is very useful; I often find that the unlinked person does fit in somewhere. (my use of dates is a bit crude: either a precise date, or Abt. I was unaware of the other allowed entry forms) Ian Thomas
