If you did not get sources, probably the submitter failed to enter any or the site strips them when the gedcom is uploaded and processed. When I downloaded my own file from Ancestry (before their reorganization)I got all my sources. Now I am unable to download my complete file, let alone sources, and only in bits and pieces, 6 generations at a time in either direction. Matt

I have a question that may reflect a lack of understand about GEDCOM's more than Legacy, but we'll see. When I find a record or groups of records on a website that shares GEDCOMs, such as Ancesry.com, and i download the GEDCOM and import it into Legacy, I don't have any sources. (unless I added one on import). Is this because the way Legacy handles sources is different from GEDCOM? Is there a way in Legacy (or any other way) to find out where the people got the information? I mean, if I download a GEDCOM that shows a different first name for my g-g-g-grandfather, I'd like to know where that person got their information and compare it to mine. I never seem to be able to find anything like this when I download and import so I end up with a lot of information and no idea how correct it is. I also have this problem from a set of CDs I orderd for familysearch.org. Am I missing something in Legacy or in the GEDCOM? It seems like this information is pretty useless unless you can find out where the original researcher got the information and it doesn't seem like adding a source for all the information (such as I downloaded it from Ancestry.com) really adds any information. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
