Elizabeth, et al, I went ahead and bought Legacy (v. 6.0.0.82) tonight and loaded my RM GEDCOM, 10,000 person database. So far, I've noticed:
During the import -Adoptions, children - those with 2 parents had the note entered in the date field, about 30 instances (all of these had been imported from an earlier FTM GedCom and I probably haven't gotten around to cleaning them up in RM) Brief review of data, particular notes shows <i> and <b> inserts for italic and bold fonts coming in from RM. There were no unrecognized items and the error file seems to have about 25 addresses it didn't like. ***** Then I imported a FTM 2006 GedCom. I wasn't given an option to make any selections or alterations for FTM. As a result, all the FTM <place/description> fields ended up in Legacy's <place> field. WHAT A MESS! This is the primary reason I bought Legacy. I thought it would separate place and description. HELP! 2 Unrecognized items: _HEIG and _WEIG -Wasn't sure what they were so I created an event for this tag. No data was imported so I'll have to go back to the FTM file to see what this is about. 5 items, no problem. Nothing in the error log. I've only had the program for a couple of hours ... so I really haven't looked at everything! ***** I haven't really researched wall charts outside of RM so I don't know what I'll end up using. I'm still in data entry and review mode. RM doesn't put unnecessary ","s in the boxes in charts. Plus I can edit the contents of the boxes. Also, I can add up to 8 facts/events to include in the boxes ... such as occupation and medical.
