Re: [LegacyUG] Out of action for a couple of years - have questions

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Michelle,

Where to start?
1) Legacy Charting is still part of the Legacy package. You can't get 
any version since it was introduced without it. Initially it was also 
available separately which may be why you're confused.


2) If you want to keep using Legacy 7.5, you can.  The final version is 
still available to download from this page: 
http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00899/


3) If you've saved charts, you need to be using the same database when 
you open them to be able to edit them.


4) Legacy is now owned by MyHeritage but operates almost independently.

5) Legacy has a tool/module called Legacy FamilyTree Integration which 
can be used to link your people with the global FamilySearch tree and 
optionally share data either way. You share one fact at a time - not 
even everything on one person at a time. It's entirely optional and I 
often just make the link and click "I've finished sharing data". This 
will only work in Legacy 9 as FamilySearch keep making changes.


6) Although you can search Ancestry from within Legacy (see Internet - 
Search Internet for Current Person in Legacy 7.5) there is no connection 
to Ancestry.


7) Legacy 9 introduced hinting from 4 sites. These are MyHeritage, 
FamilySearch (only for those people who have a FamilySearch ID entered 
as FamilySearch hints to the tree and provides those hints via the hint 
connection), FindMyPast and Genealogy Bank.  This does not share data 
with these sites and is also entirely optional. It's automating a 
search. You need a subscription to MyHeritage, FindMyPast and Genealogy 
Bank to follow up the Hint results. However especially with the 
MyHeritage hints, they give you clues that you might find the 
information on a free site - eg MyHeritage does give hints from the 
FamilySearch databases


8) more Legacy users belong to the Facebook group than to this mailing 
list so if you're on Facebook, join it for more tips and answers to 
queries with images. Images are not allowed on this list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom files uploading to web site.

[Cathy Pinner]

You don't use privacy to strip out notes etc from a gedcom, you use the 
Gedcom customise options. They control which gedcom tags are exported. 
See the Customise button on the right. This includes an exclude option 
for address/phone and Notes of various kinds. I don't know whether that 
is just mailing addresses or event addresses.
It's true that Ancestry etc will privatise the living for you but you 
can choose not to include the living in your gedcom using the options in 
the Privacy section in the Gedcom export. I think this is a better option.
When exporting for Ancestry I generally just include the vital events 
with their sources. You can do this by using Basic and then adding the 
tags SOUR and PAGE.
I also go to the second tab headed Other Options on the main export 
screen and uncheck to override source options as I don't want to include 
my source detail text OR sources that I have chosen not to include in 
reports.


If you don't have a gedcom viewer program and find the gedcom difficult 
to understand when opened in Notepad (as it's a plain text file), you 
can import your gedcom to a new Legacy file to see what you are actually 
exporting.

Hi

I would like to upload my FT to Ancestry and other websites as a 
Gedcom file.


I am reasonably certain I have stripped the records of any notes or 
sources by using the privacy tools on legacy.


However I note that the addresses  entered  in the birth, death and 
burial records are still showing


I would like to know if these addresses will stripped or removed when 
the file is uploaded.


I know that dates of persons still living are stripped and names 
marked as private.

[LegacyUG] Announcement from the staff Part II

[Michele Lewis]

Here is a temporary fix you can do until we can fix it permanently. This
date error affects both Legacy FamilySearch and Legacy Charting (I only said
FamilySearch before). 

 

 

Please close Legacy and delete these files and then run Legacy Family Search
again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Media Gallery issue

[William (Bill) R. Linhart]

Fixed by *EXPORTING *to a new Legacy File.

New exported file works fine.

Support suggested this.  It worked. Thanks to Jamie at Legacy support.
