Hi, I was asked a question today to which I could not assist!!! (what's new!)
A friend who has legacy 7.5..... installed still has Roots 3 installed on another computer and has made a GEDCOM of the Roots 3 family file, then loaded it into Legacy - all went well - so far! On checking the Legacy family file they found that where they had entered Sources - which could have been anywhere in Roots3, as the program did not have a special Source field - (I remember putting my sources, such as they were in those days, in the Notes section.) So could any one give me some idea where Legacy may have entered these Roots3 Sources? As they do not seem to appear in General Notes. I have a copy of GENviewer, so I opened up a copy of the file. But I am none the wiser!!! Have no idea how to work the program. BUT I did see an 'S' beside one of the names and the help file said the Source is 'displayed in the bottom right of the tab' Bottom right little window which has Sources at the top and then a 1) under BUT no mention of any typing. There is not one source in the file. BUT when I open the GEDCOM in Notepad - there are 1631 entries - All looking like this: 0 @S1631@ SOUR Birth cert no. etc. (the numbers are in numerical order) I then unpacked the GEDCOM into Legacy and checked the Sources icon and there are only 3 entries with just the name Source - no explanations of what they are or where they are or who they belong to. SO where have all the sources gone to???? All very strange!
