While I don't use the Legacy Research Guidance feature of Legacy Family Tree, I do a great deal of research on Ancestry. The "save" on the Ancestry site does only save it to the Ancestry database you have provided. The other option is to save it to Ancestry's shoebox which will hold a record that you have found but are not sure it actually belongs to someone you are researching.
I have my family tree on Ancestry and should I find, say a census record that I need to add to my database, I FIRST, type the information into my Legacy database then click SAVE on Ancestry which then brings up the people for you to accept or delete information before you actually save it to the Ancestry database. My guess is that once the LDS site is fully open to all of us and we use the Legacy Research Guidance feature of Legacy FT and are lucky enough to find something we will be able to click "save" and add it to our Legacy database since Legacy FT is an accepted LDS software program. That probably won't happen with Ancestry however. (Just my guess). -----Original Message----- From: Pauline B. Cramer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2010 5:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy Research Guidance for Ancestry World Tree problem I have been using Legacy Family Tree since 2002, but I have never used Legacy Research Guidance with any success. Today I noticed the Research Guidance interface seems to have been improved in the current version of Legacy, so I continued trying to test it to see how it works. Searching on my father-in-law, whose records I know well, it brought up a menu with 6 linked databases, and I browsed in three of them before running into a problem when I tried to "save". I was in Legacy Research Guidance, clicked on the Ancestry World Tree linked database on the menu bar, and a dialog box came up and asked for a Ancestry.com password, which I was able to provide, and then I continued searching, but when I decided to try out saving a record, it wanted to "save" to a tree on Ancestry.com. I could not find a way to save to my Legacy Family File, which was open, on the desktop PC that I was using, and through which I had used Legacy Research Guidance to get to this record. It would seem reasonable to be able to save to the Legacy family file that is in use while using Legacy Research Guidance. Is that not how it is supposed to work? I hesitate to ask a question about this complicated topic, but, having never gotten this far with Legacy Research Guidance, I thought there might be some simple answer that would be well known to those LUG users who use the Legacy Research Guidance feature, and that I should ask if there was something simple that I had missed doing.
