Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Syncing people in two family files
Dan, Repeating previous user comments. Put everything you want to save in one file. Two files lead to a lot more work and confusion. I know, I tried it. Legacy has many options for selecting just the ancestors or descendants of a specific person. One of the most useful options is creating a book of all the DEAD descendants of an ancestor, which can be shared without a risk of identity theft it gets in the hands of the wrong person. Do be sure you use the [[ ]] to make info private in notes, sources, and events that should not be shared with the world. And backup to an external hard drive and/or the cloud every time you close the program or make changes or additions-at least daily. You can put e-mail and other correspondence in the general notes or sources or other locations so that years later you will still have the info available, even if you lose your e-mail files.

The plain answer is NO. Why not just use one combined file?

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Syncing people in two family files
David is right. One file. Then it is simple to split when necessary. You will avoid making entries multiple times, correcting locations, standardizing spellings, etc. Ron Taylor On Monday, June 16, 2014 6:20 PM, David Abernathy da...@schmeckabernathy.com wrote: The plain answer is NO.

Best bet is to use one file for both families.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re: Syncing people in two family files
A non-plain answer would be a work-around like this: Merge the two files. You could separate them again if you really want to, but I think it's probably not necessary. If you want to share only part of the file with particular family members, you can use the tagging options to export only that part. Since you are new to Legacy, you might not have known you could easily do that. Joseph Leavitt On 6/16/2014 5:18 PM, David Abernathy wrote: The plain answer is NO. Why not just use one combined file?
