Bill Daniels, Which field(s) are you using for evidence of relationships? As others mentioned recently, a GEDCOM transfer may lose or change the family relationships and sources. Notice the underlines for STAT, FREL and MREL in the GEDCOM text file. It is important to check the results of data entry methods for any program you might use in combination with Legacy to plan wall charts, web sites or transfer data to other researchers.

The ancestor charts and reports may not be accurate if a child is attached to non-bio parents. Simple sources for one birth or death date/location per individual are most likely to remain accurate. Multiple marriages and children may not be listed in order by date after a transfer. One of the discontinued genealogy programs allowed sources for parts of notes and another discontinued program allowed what one user called "embedded citations." Perhaps those features made both programs hard to upgrade. I've seen and used two workarounds -- the source mentioned as part of the note, and a list of sources at the end of a plain text note. Both those methods survive GEDCOM transfers, though note spacing variations can result in broken or run-together words. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Daniels" > Legacy has A very good event database that let's you cite the different > sources for each event.
