Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Ver 8 Gedcom export to Legacy Ver 7.5

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Jay, Last Friday, Brian asked you some questions about this. You may want to consider them and answer? I've just exported my database from Legacy 8 as a gedcom 5.5.1 only and it's imported error free into Legacy 7.5. Exporting as a Legacy style gedcom produces a number of unrecognised items for things in Legacy 8 and not in Legacy 7 - flags for various things from a quick look You also might want to clarify what you have. "once you convert your database gedcom to Ver 8" You don't convert a gedcom to version 8. You either import a gedcom OR convert a Legacy database. Note, as Brian said, Legacy 8 has some features like shared events that are not recognised in Legacy 7.5. If these have been used, I don't think anything will make them import. Cathy Jay Wilpolt Tuesday, 7 July 2015 8:46 AM So I have tried several ways, but apparently once you convert your database gedcom to Ver 8 , you cannot EXPORT a gedcom 5.5 .ged file that will import into Legacy Ver 7.5???? Since this is a project I am working on for a past client, I guess I will have to MANUALLY edit this HUGE gedcom to fix it. What do I need to do to make this .ged file import properly in ver 7.5???
