There is one suggestion that would help me with merging Family Files that
already has been programmed into Legacy for downloading information from
NewFamilySearch. I do not know if this suggestion is already submitted, or
would be of general interest.
When AutoMerge is used to assist with merging two family files Legacy
then displays a screen that shows two individuals that are likely to be
merged but have differences that disqualify them for AutoMerge. This screen
offers buttons to select information to be retained and, by difference,
information to discard. It would be useful to me if the discarded
information and its sources could be retained as an alternate event, such as
Alt.Birth. This could be done by providing an additional button next to the
discard button. Down loading of individual information from NewFamilySearch
already provides this alternative so the programming must exist in Legacy.
Legacy already provides a work around by the selection of edit your file
as a screen option in merging individuals, but this is inconvenient. Is
this a useful suggestion for others in the Users Group and should be
submitted to Legacy, or do I live with the work around?
