Plea for help to all you 'Learned Legacy Users'
I just love the charting facility and want to share it with the wider
family.
Is there some way I can get a test 2 page descendants tree from my laptop
to my USB then to my husband's set up with printer?
My usual method is to use the 'right click

what I really meant - but not said :) - was: I wanted to export only the
bloodline (male) in a gedcom file. That means: All descendent from a man
called Stone , who have the name Stone with their wifes or husbands. I
didn't find the way. Or do you or anybody else know how that
If you're looking for only the name Stone couldn't you tag all those
with that surname and make a gedcom of those people?

Eva,
I'm confused.. if you want only the male bloodline why bother with wives or
daughters names Stone.. or am I missing something obvious?

Sorry forgot to mention why I create a CD-ROM over uploading to the
Internet - my immediate family members have let me know they don't
want to find themselves on the Internet. So I create CD-ROMs with a
big note on it - please don't publish this information on the
Internet.

Tagging those with a surname of Stone should work IF you have entered the
married name as an alias for the women. Otherwise you will lose all the
wives. It still won't get you the spouses of the married daughters, but the
alias would tell you they did marry. I can't think of another way to get

Valerie,
What are you using as the key to have the LegacyUG mail moved to its own
folder?
If the filter setup allows you to select something like this
Subject contains [LegacyUG]
most of the mail should be filtered correctly.
If you have some other filter, such as
Subject equals [LegacyUG]
then
Thanks Jenny

I am still using Legacy 5 and have reason to believe that it has been
corrupted. I would like to make a complete new, clean, installation. I am
not very computer savvy and would appreciate instructions in particular
about removal of the old installation before installing a new download.
There are probably any number of ways. One would be to first create the file
and save it to your drive (say the desktop), then open a Windows Explorer
window to your USB drive and click and drag the file from the desktop to the
flash drive. Could also right-click the file and choose copy, then

programs provides of privatizing a users GEDCOM file in that all LIVING
individuals would have detailed information removed. Legacy even offers to

I think the biggest difference is that the information available in
newspaper archives and at anywho.com (and similar) is in bits located here
and there - which requires more research ability than an online ancestry
chart that puts it all in one place.

I've looked at Legacy and the new Legacy charts. Joseph had a daughter named

first husband. Margaret and John F. got married. They don't have a common

Well that depends on what program you use for e-mail and what your rules
are. For example, I use Outlook (the full one, not the Express) and I
have a rule that says everything with [LegacyUG] in the subject should

Could one not create this as a chart by doing some TAGGING before hand

You can do this currently with Tree Draw by adding other charts to

eg start with descendants of a couple then add 2 charts - the
ancestors of each.

Hi Poul,
Legacy never has had a Mac version.
So what files do you have?

The easiest solution is probably to get a free gmail or hotmail account
and use that email address for the LegacyUG. You can check the messages
when you have time and the huge storage allowed at gmail should hold
