Am I missing out on the Legacy tools ?
Is this something that I have not found yet or is this referring to the
program in general ?

Just my guess, but the use of tools could also be stated as Features.

What I mean is sort them in date of birth or date of death ?

Barbara,
I cannot comment on FTM v Legacy, as apart from creating odd reports I have not
used the former.
1) Yes, Legacy only stores the path and not the picture, hence on export only
the path is sent. Strictly speaking the pictues are, therefore no longer linked
to Legacy on the host PC.
Valerie,
At the top of Legacy there is a row of tabs for various facilities which are
available to you. One of them is called Tools. Click on it and you will see
what is available. Each of them also has it's own context Help Page.

It is not really possible to answer your question without knowing *exactly*
what criteria you wish to select by. Please let us know otherwise any help
would be strictly limited.

Let me ask you:
If you wanted to select a family in your main database to
export/transfer to another Legacy Database how would you do this ?

I apologize; when I stated Tools I should have said

are great tools to review your data, update and correct any

So, the photos that are now residing in the Scrapbook part of FTM 2005--how

No need to delete your scrapbook items as they will
not be included in the GEDCOM created by FTM anyway.
You will have to manually add your scrapbook items to
your Legacy file.
I'm also in the process of changing over from FTM (v.
16) to Legacy. The clean-up/transition process is
I have also noticed a similar thing with the notes.
I believe that Legacy may have a problem here.

Thanks, Ron, that was it. I find it interesting that the montly calendar has
the option just to have the YEAR of birth but this list only has to option
to have the whole DATE of birth. Obviously if you are on 14 February, you
know that the birthdate is 14 Feb! So I guess I will have to add that to

Hi Gary,
I think this has been reported.
Until it is fixed, you should be able to correct the Gedcom by
looking for the 2 CONT's and changing the number to the correct number.
A Gedcom is just a plain text file in a particular format so can be
opened in any text editor, like Notepad.

Hi Michele,
1) Make a normal backup of your family file and call it family

This is so you can play with the merge quite happily knowing that you
can restore this file and get back to exactly where you were before
you started playing.
Hi Barbara,
It's hard to say.
Which type of search are you using?
I usually use the Detailed search.
On that you have to make sure you are searching the correct field in
the right way.
For example, if I want to find all the Ebenezer's in my file, I need
to make sure that I'm searching in Given
1) Did it find any duplicates?

You could do a Detailed Search for Individuals with Tag 9 equal to tagged.
You could make sure that Tag 9 is one of the 3 tags marked for
display on the screens and then use the Name List - Search - Tag 9
