Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook

I have been using Legacy Family Tree since version 4 and I have been a subscriber to the legacyusergroup for a long time.  I enjoy reading the Legacyusergroup emails, which I sometimes find useful. I looked at the LUG FB a little, but did not find it useful and have not looked at it recently.

I also have not been happy with how Family Search sources don't match with other LDS systems or other sources. During the 2002 - 2007 time period I spent countless hours researching my Finnish family, ordering micro fiche from Salt Lake City, reading hand-written records in birth, baptism,

Cathy, Autosomal DNA is not just Y-DNA. Mothers contribute half the DNA to the children. So you would not want to remove the spouses. Pauline On 3/8/2015 5:31 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Hi Nancy, You seem to want a list of all blood relatives - is that right? If so, set relationships to

[LegacyUG] Need for listing AncestryDNA and 23andMe tests on Legacy DNA record screen

The AncestryDNA autosomal test, as well as 23andMe should be listed on the Legacy list of DNA tests. Even if there is a problem recording the raw data in Legacy, more and more people will be using these tests, and we will need to be able to keep track of what testing is done. It is

Nancy, You ask, Why do I have it buried behind all that stuff? I presume you are referring to the AppData\Local\Temp\Temp1. I had that problem when first using Legacy 8.00. I believe the legacy fdb file needs to go Into Documents, not AppData. Your path is

Geoff, I have been using the FamilySearch tools in Legacy for about a month. They are great! It is wonderful to be able to see what is in FamilySearch for an individual and family and to see what is in my Legacy database at the same time and to be able to see what is linked. Looking forward to

Re: [LegacyUG] Ancestry findagrave

I worked for an hour or more on Ancestry.com, searching for census records for a family for 1900, 1910, etc. I could find records and copy text about an individual, but I was not able to connect to the image of census sheets. This would cause a reset. Then I would have to go back to the browser
