Re: [LegacyUG] Is this a proper gedcom file

[Cathy Pinner]

Ward,

I have a gedcom from a cousin of just over 100 people with some notes 
and sources and it is only 37KB. It's one of the most useful gedcoms 
I've ever received.

Even though GEDCOM files contain no images, the file size of 31KB does
sound too small to contain much of a tree.

GEDCOM files are plain text, so you can open them in any word
processor or
notepad program, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or Windows
Notepad.

The first few lines will look something like this one, which I created
from
Legacy:

0 HEAD
1 SOUR Legacy
2 VERS 9.0
2 NAME Legacy (R)
2 CORP Millennia Corp.
3 ADDR PO Box 9410
4 CONT Surprise, AZ 85374
1 DEST Legacy
1 DATE 20 Jun 2017

You'll be able to see people's names and other text displayed in various
lines, along with other lines that will seem to be gobbledegook but
contain
information that relates to the people named.

1 NAME William /Hargreaves/
2 GIVN William
2 SURN Hargreaves
2 SOUR @S3@

So if you can open this .ged file you've been sent in an appropriate
program
and see similar lines, you have a GEDCOM file, which you should be
able to
IMPORT into Legacy.

It's good practice to import files like this into a new Legacy file
before
merging the data with your existing file. You may want to look at things
like Locations, and tidy them up to the way you record them before taking
the data further.

Hope this helps. :-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Customized event roles into new file

[Cathy Pinner]

Tamara,

Unfortunately that is a known bug. (Roles and Role Sentence Definitions 
not transferring with an Import of the Master List)

You'll need to do it manually.
I suggest you copy and paste them to Notepad or Word processor to save 
going back to and opening the screen lots of times and then recreate 
them in the new file by copying and pasting from Notepad.

[LegacyUG] Customized event roles into new file

[Tamara (Vlasuk) Pickrell]

Hi,

What's the best way to get my customized event roles and role sentences
from my master file into a different file that I'm cleaning up? I'm
eventually going to merge the files, so I want things to match what I've
already got.
I tried importing the Event Definition List, but it didn't bring the roles
that I wanted.

Thanks,

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

Why don't you create an event called  'GODPARENT'? you can set if up
however you want. You can even have no sentence if you so desire!
