Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Dennis, I would agree that it should, however I have seen reports (Graham?

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Wendy and Ron - I have no idea what tags are for which is why I was concerned. Yes, I need to learn more about the program but I am sick of spending more time on the software than genealogy so I haven't done that. I'm spending my time working on the actual data. That would be easier if I could break out groups - hence the question. As far as backing up, this database was started in 1987 in PAF, then spent 19 years in TMG. I am very careful with it. It's priceless, at least to me. On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 6:57 AM, Dennis M.

You are correct, it doesn't. What I meant by it should is that if the programmers wanted to, they COULD add code to export the SW info (as non-standard GEDCOM tags) so that it could be imported back into Legacy without losing any information. But they have chosen not to do this for some reason.

Jerry, If you export as a Legacy file you are NOT exporting a GEDCOM. You are creating a new .fdb file that can be opened directly in Legacy. If you are talking about exporting a GEDCOM for Legacy versus exporting a GEDCOM in GEDCOM 5.5 format they are both GEDCOM files however the file designed for Legacy will include special tags to tell Legacy where to store information that the GEDCOM 5.5 standard does not use. These are for special data that Legacy uses. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Thanks Brian. I was just wondering because when I export a GEDCOM from LEGACY and create a GEDCOM 5.5 file with it, I am not able to transfer the longitude / latitude information for the Google mapping system to our website. But when I create a GEDCOM file FOR LEGACY, as you stated, I am able to transfer the longitude / latitude information to the website just fine. My website cannot utilize a LEGACY (.fdb) file directly, but must use a GEDCOM for the transfer. So, I have learned through trial and error to use the GEDCOM that is being designed for LEGACY even though the file is transferred to a TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding) website and not to LEGACY, if that is making sense to you.

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Jerry, That’s what I use for my TNG site and then when you do then you just have to go to your site and accept the custom tags you want and ignore the ones you don't. Once I have all the tags that I want I save the Gedcom file options and then when I want to create a new Gedcom upload I just load that file with the custom settings, and create the new gedcom. What I do: FileExport to GEDCOM then choose Produce file for: Legacy, Character Set: ANSI I have these boxes checked: Keep embedded formatting codes within text, Convert formatting codes to HTML style, and Override Source options - include all source information. Records Selection: All Records in the Entire Family. Then I click on the Customize... button and go through the list of available for export and move the ones I want to the Export these items under Groups of items to EXCLUDE from Export I have the following checked: Address/Phone and To-Do items if you haven't already done it then Save the List: then when you do a new one just click Load List and pick the file you saved it as, it will have a file extension of .gel When done with that screen click OK and then you can select File Name and START EXPORT.

[LegacyUG] export a group of people
I would like to make a file of all of the ancestors [and their siblings] of one person with all the data I have for those people and use it separately. I don't want to delete it from my main file, at least not at the moment. It would seem I would export it as a GEDCOM but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up. One suggestion was create a focus group but a focus group seems to be size limited. I am guessing there could be 1400 people, maybe more. Is there a way to do this?

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Cheryl: Here is the steps that will get what you want: 1. Position yourseld to person you want ancestors for in the Family View 2. Go to advanced tagging (Ctrl+T) (hold CTRL key and hit t) 3. Clear all Tags for Everyone 4. Select Tag # to use (Normally Tag #1) 5. Select Ancestors 6 Use Direct Line Ancestors, Include other Spouses, Include Siblings 7. Select OK to tag Ancestors with Tag 1 8. Close taging and get back to Family View 9. Go to File, Export to Legacy File (assuming you want to use Legacy) 10. Give the file a user name and remember where you save it (should be saved at C:\Legacy\Data\ 11. Under Options Tab, select All records with individual Tag #1 (unckeck boxed 1) Export all spouses of tagged individuals, 2) Export all Parents of Tagged Individuals -- you already did that in steps 3-7 above). 12. Click Start the Export When finished, you can open this new file using Legacy by doing File Open Family File. It will have all of your Legacy information but only the people that had Tag #1 -- Ancestors. This seems like a lot of steps, but it is pretty easy. You can also create a GEDCOM file the same way but change Step 9 to a GEDCOM file. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Leon, Not necessarily so with a GEDCOM I'm afraid. Source Writer sources do not export correctly to a GEDCOM (GEDCOM's fault btw.

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
The number of people chosen by a focus group is unlimited. The number 100 is the limit on how many focus specification lines can be included to describe who will be included in the final list of people.

Re: [LegacyUG] export a group of people
Dennis said: Since this LTool only messes with tags, the only damage you can inflict on your database is to accidentally choose a tag # that you are using for something else important. But you can do that in Legacy also (and I have done that myself). That is why we back backup our databases, isn't it? ;-) I agree, totally! :-) I'm always nervous of forgetting that I've used a particular tag before I go to use it for a new task. So before starting to use a new tag, do a search to make sure it really is unused... Press s to start a new search (or click on the Search icon, or press Ctrl-F, or click Search Find in the menu) Look for - Individual Where Tag - x Equal To Tagged Clear List before this search Create List If it comes back with a list of names, that tag is being used for something already. Clear the tag, or pick another (and repeat the search on that tag). If you get the message No records were found that match the search criteria then that tag is currently unused and you can use it with confidence. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
