Hi Barb GEDCOM file is a universal format for all Ancestry software irrespective of the Operating system imported into. You could print off all or a quantity of report and email them to family that way they have a means of checking. Let me know how it all goes Regards John

I'm such a worry wart. My fear is that some of the details, like sources, notes, etc., won't export/import properly and will be lost, and that it won't be obvious that "things" are missing when I do the trial(s). I wish Legacy had a version for MAC. Any such possibility in the future? I'll always be Windows, but more and more of my family are MAC users, so I worry about the Legacy data being all intact for them.
