Leonard, Am I correct in thinking that FTM16 has a template system for its sources similar to Legacy’s Source Writer? If so the problem is that a GEDCOM does not recognise the layout – it is the same with the Legacy version. I suspect that the best you can hope for is some sort of Basic Sourcing.
Maybe there is someone who has transferred similar files who can advise you, but I cannot think of an easy way round the problem From: gambol Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 5:29 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.5 and source citation import? When I import a GEDCOM file from Family Tree Maker v16, the FTM source Citation Page and Citation Text fields do not property appear in the footnote/endnote when generating a Legacy v7.5 narrative report. In Legacy's Show List of Assigned Sources, the page and text information does appear under the Text/Comment tab and in the Source Detail Text and Detail Comments fields, but does not under the Output tab. The result is when viewing a narrative report, the footnote/endnote appears with only the Source List Name. The Detail Text information does not, which of course is needed to located the detail information within the source. An example of one of my FTM file census citations: Census, 1900 CT, New Haven Co, Waterbury Township, District 418, p.8, date, state. In Legacy's narrative report only the source, Census, 1900 CT, appears. MY work-around is to copy the Detail Text to the Source Detail field on a source citation by source citation basis. This is acceptable for a small file, but not for my family file with 40,000 + individuals; each with an average of three source citations per person. Is there an option I am missing, or is this an anomaly with FTM's GEDCOM file generation algorithm. Is there help?
