Why doesn't Legacy allow pictures to be sorted by date or caption within a
picture gallery? All pictures seem to display in a slide show or printed
Photo Album even if just a few are tagged (check box.)
What topic in the Help file or printed Legacy 6 manual explains Picture
Reduction Width?
Connie,
Suppose a distant cousin is interested in 1/8 or less of your collection of
family pictures. How do you copy the branch pictures? If you send a DVD with
all pictures, how does another researcher copy the right pictures with
captions to a different genealogy program?

As far as I know, the terms folder and directory are synonymous.

I occasionally export some of my Legacy records to a Gedcom so I can
open them in Family Tree Maker and print what I think of as a standard
family tree.
I recently discovered, via this excellent group, that Legacy will accept
dates in the format September Q 1837, so I have been going through
FTM does not recognize those style dates.
Legacy itself only added them recently at the request of those users who
use the British BMD indexes where entries are listed by Calendar Quarter
of registration.

You could redirect the My Documents to any folder you want couldn't you?
That way it keeps it out of the way of the OS (in case of re-install as you

About GEO, I simply adore it. True, it is not for everyone, but the
programmers *tried* (I think they succeeded!) in making GEO so flexible it
would fit anyone's preference for formatting. That is the good thing about

like FTM and MAC's Reunion. What is so hard? I go to FTM to construct my

Hi Diane,
As Elizabeth mentioned in an earlier post on photos, if you ever want
to copy your photos and scanned docs and send them to someone who
shares only one line with you, it might be easier if you have filed
these images by Surname, rather than by type.

Hi Elizabeth,
It's easy to separate the photos you need for a particular part of the tree.
Once you've separated the part of the tree you wish to send, open it
in Legacy and then use the Backup Multimedia Files.
This may create an enormous zip file, but it will put all the
relevant photos -
Maybe that'swhere the duplicate message came from..

For the most interesting FTM trees, you really need to keep a separate file
