To all of you who replied to my question on “Changing Program”: I sincerely appreciate hearing from you. As genealogists, we are all aware of the hard work and countless hours involved in researching our families. These families are our connection to the past and are very precious. Right, Lucy Shore? We have worked together on our “communal” family. J
It’s good to know that Legacy is such a good program and so well thought of. I have been aware of this program for a very long time and almost switched over at one point but then chickened out. Dorothy Hi Dorothy I've been using Legacy for many years now so I'm sure you'll like it!! I also know of FTM users who have made the transfer and, while I'm not sure about the transfer process, haven't regretted the move!! Good luck...and enjoy!

I presently using Family Tree Maker 2005 (a fairly old one). However, Family Tree Maker (FTW) is now in the hands of McKiev since the demise of Genealogy.com, (they have been gobbled up by Ancestry.com and I am not a member of Ancestry). There were a number of things I could do in FTW software like saving reports to desktop other than to My Documents, exporting a file to .pdf – things I am unable to do now. As a result, I am thinking very seriously of changing software for my family genealogy. I have a huge concern, however. I have spent the better part of 17 years accumulating information on my families and I don’t want to lose any of this information. Some of my files are huge. So here is my question: Is there a way I can transfer all my files to Legacy? Has anybody on the list ever done this? I am scared to death to lose any of this information. I would be grateful for any information and guidance readers can give me, Dorothy -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
