Re: [LegacyUG] Creating a GEDCOM in V8

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Pat, Still not clear where you had the problem. One common problem is not taking notice of where you are saving the Gedcom file and therefore not being able to find it. When you choose a name for the gedcom, also take control of where it is being saved. Note for uploading to FamilySearch you probably want to choose as the Gedcom type - Gedcom 5.5.1 only OR Basic if you just want to upload the Vital Events. Cathy Pat Remley Saturday, 25 July 2015 11:14 AM Thanks Everyone;       A member came into the FHC on Sunday during Sunday School with a PAF File  on a USB stick and wanted to turn it into a GEDCOM to upload into FamilySearch. He is having some health problems and is hoping to upload his names to get work moving on his names.   I wondered if the problem was the PAF File, but I was able to load it  into Legacy and followed many of the steps to making a GEDCOM; but it did not seem to work. It is also a long time since I made a GEDCOM.  I'm not sure if it was to short of a time, very slow computers at the FHC or if I missed a step.     I will phone him and try following the steps from everyone this week. He said he might have it on a GEDCOM on another stick at home. I felt bad because I knew I should have been able to do it easily for him.  When I saw Carolyn's question: it reminded me that I also had the same question.    Thanks Again,       Pat Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
