I'm not sure that is correct, as I just exported my file, telling legacy to not export private people....and I then opened the file with genviewer....I cannot find any of my private people....not even marked as private. They are gone.
I even opend the gedcom file with a text viewer and I found none of the names that were listed as private So private data is completely chopped off with export....this is as long as you tell Legacy to NOT export private people Donna -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Foxcroft Sent: June 23, 2005 9:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Privatize ALL the Living - Help The private tag in Legacy isn't really what you think. I would have thought that it doesn't send any info of private people. In fact it sends the info, just marked as private. So the tree structure remains. This can have some advantages depending upon where you are sending the data. The best way is to use the private tag to set another tag. So tag everyone who does not have private set. Let's say you use tag 3 for this. Then, when you do a gedcom export or a web page make, only export people with tag 3 set. This will fix the problem. The other issue is it is not possible to globally set the private tag. To do this at present it must happen through Access. I have a file on my web page about importing data from Generations into Legacy and I set the private tag through Access. It is at www.foxcrofts.com under family tree if anyone is interested. In summary, use the private tag to set a normal tag and only export those tagged people.
