Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch
Those Scandinavian names are simply difficult to find all versions of them existing within Family Tree. I diligently search FamilySearch Family Tree for individuals I research and when I cannot find them on Family Tree, I add them. Lo, and behold, once I've added several people in the family, and THEN use Legacy's FamilySearch sync mode, I find the whole family showing up with a different surname, usually because someone has attached the farm name to the surname. Legacy has been so helpful in finding these duplicates, but much of the time even with Legacy they only show up after I've entered a number of individuals in the family.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch
I also have not been happy with how Family Search sources don't match with other LDS systems or other sources. During the 2002 - 2007 time period I spent countless hours researching my Finnish family, ordering micro fiche from Salt Lake City, reading hand-written records in birth, baptism, confirmation, marriage, and farm records, farm names and numbers, etc. and recording sources with LDS microfilm numbers, and noting variations in spelling of names; also searching the The Genealogical Society of Finland database. Now, with the emphasis on standardization, it appears that new duplicates are being created, and I've seen at least one whole family group duplicated due to a variation in the spelling of the name of the father. Very discouraging. On 4/25/2016 8:43 AM, Anne Lo Forte Willson wrote: I've not been very happy with how sources don't match with other system sources when either uploading or downloading.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch
FamilySearch doesn't allow sources attached to any 'Other Events'. You can only tag sources to name, gender, birth, christening, death and burial. Although you can add sources and NOT tag them to anything. Have you looked at how Legacy sources show up on FamilySearch Family Tree? I've not been very happy with how sources don't match with other system sources when either uploading or downloading. It makes for duplication, but yep. Creating sources in both my Legacy file and in FamilySearch Family Tree is the only way that makes sense for me right now.

Legacy seems to handle births and deaths OK, but does not seem to recognise marriage sources from FamilySearch Family Tree. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
[LegacyUG] Sources not available to upload to FamilySearch
Why aren't all sources for a person available to upload to FamilySearch Tree? Other programs such as RootsMagic show them and allow them to be uploaded using the same gedcom file. Legacy seems to only recognize sources for Birth, Marriages and Deaths as being valid sources to upload to FamilySearch Tree. In my situation, less that 40% of my sources for an individual are available to upload via the FamilySearch Tool. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
