Do the other families have Windows computers? If so, you can send them
the free version of Legacy and a Legacy backup file - that way
everything will be in place at their end. In fact, I think Legacy has a
"create CD" option that pretty much does this. You could probably use
either a CD or a USB key??? I think it includes a link to Legacy
download site so they get the most current version - so if they do not
have internet access you may need to manually copy the Legacy install to
the CD??? (Its been a LONG time since I've messed with this, so I could
be wrong.)
And, no, you do not need to send them your entire Legacy file. You can
use tags and such to create a separate Legacy file with just the folks
they want to see, and then use that separate Legacy file to create the
CD/USB.

I recently needed to send information about a few families as a small
GEDCOM. While I am relatively new to Legacy, I had no problem creating
the small GEDCOM - except for graphics information. When the GEDCOM
was imported (to a couple different genealogical applications) the
following was found:
1. Internet Website addresses (Media Gallery > Add Media > Internet
Website) is used to identify from what repository / source database
informtion (used in a citation) was found. Those ulr addresses, shown
in the GEDCOM on different lines as an OBJE, FORM URL, _TYPE URL with
the address betweend those elements, are being imported as though
there were graphical images. Possibly the _TYPE URL, which if I am not
mistaken is a customized Legacy GEDCOM tag, is the confusing element.
2. Actual graphic images (census, certificates, etc) are shown in
Legacy as a master graphic item, with multiple links when used in
several locations, were apparently being recorded in the GEDCOM as
separate, individual graphics, not several links to one graphic.
Meaning the imported GEDCOM shows multiple copies of the same graphic
image after import to the other genealogical application.
So, what did I miss when creating the GEDCOM file in Legacy? Is there
some option I missed that would perhaps turn off the urls being added
to the GEDCOM? What about the multiple references of images, as though
different graphics?
