Marie, Yes, you will be uploading a .GED file that you generated using Legacy export. When you name the file, you can control the folder that it goes into. Here are some further notes.
If you choose the ‘Legacy’ option for the GEDCOM export, rather than the 5.5 format, you will get the parent-child relationships. Set the character set to UTF-8. Keep embedded formatting codes and convert to HTML style. Space strings in notes. Sources are a bit of a problem in the way that they are displayed in TNG. There is no perfect solution, but my choice was to unselect ‘override source options’ when creating the GEDCOM. You can experiment. In the Customize section, I chose to remove _UID, QUAY, and _TODO so that they won’t display in TNG. For privacy options, I chose to handle it with the TNG options, so I don’t restrict anyone from the GEDCOM export. Once the GEDCOM file is generated, I had to open it in Notepad and replace all ‘_TYPE DOC’ with ‘_TYPE DOCUMENT’ in order for TNG to recognize the media documents. For uploading the GEDCOM to TNG, if the file is large, use FTP rather than the TNG option. Upload media files (that are linked to your family file) separately, using FTP. In your TNG import settings, choose: If no birth date, assume ‘Person is living’. (If the person has no birth date or death date, but was marked as not living in Legacy, then TNG will also mark them as not living.) The above has not been tested with the latest version of TNG, announced recently.

I picked 5.5 format. The family file that I'm trying to send is 5.00 mg. When I try to import the file from (family file ends with .FG) Legacy to TNG (importing from Legacy Family Tree> data) I get an error message saying the file is too large and to download a GEDcom to my computer and then transfer it. When I try to locate a GEDcom file in Legacy I just have a blank screen and the message that there are no files. The Legacy files are saved in Libraries>Documents>Legacy Family Tree>Data Am I looking in the wrong place? Have I saved Legacy wrong? I do not consider myself computer literate.
