Thanks, Cathy. Funnily enough I didn't have the pop-up on Family View enabled - so I won't miss that.
Re TNG - I have found it is best for me to use Basic Sources rather than Source Writer and I don't plan on using Shared Events as these don't translate well into TNG.

So you can install Legacy 8 and still use Legacy 7.5. You can't use the same database so make sure you convert a copy of your database in a different folder rather than your current Legacy 7.5 database. It's expected that Legacy 9 will overwrite Legacy 8. RE TNG, John Lisle, one of the main Legacy testers, does extensive testing of Legacy gedcom to TNG. You're likely to get more rather than less. He's already been testing for Legacy 9 new features and most have been implemented to aid upload to TNG. Like Monique, I still miss the information pop-up on Family View that has been replaced by the Child Scrolling Grid that I don't find anything like as helpful. I tend to use Descendant View for a quick overview of children now, after customising the columns. But that's nothing to do with Gedcom.
