Kathy,
I tested the old date calculator from Legacy 6.0 and 7.4. The calculator
did NOT add est to the selected dates when they were pasted into the
individual's date field nor did I see est in the calculator itself.

Cal 04 Mar 1800 Then when you hit select it will put all that in the date
box including the Cal I have never seen it put Est

They probably value privacy much more so than people who grew up posting all

My family is like yours, Kay. However, I always check with people I don't
know whether they are willing to have their name only included on my
website. Most have no problem with this although a very few (150 or so out
of 7000approx) prefer to remain private.

Well at least I know I'm not crazy! I use the Cal feature a lot with
tombstones that give age in years/months/days.

Remember that at Ancstry.com you can upload a non privatized GEDCOM and make
the Ancestry tree private. Only those that have been invited by YOU can view
the tree. This is one of the best ways of sharing your tree and control over

I rarely trust ages or birth dates on tombstones unless the marker is for
someone under age 25. Otherwise, the source of that information is often
someone younger than the deceased. The death date is *usually* accurate
because the person providing the information either was there or has it
How accurate the information is on a tombstone has nothing to do with the
PROCESS of entering the information into Legacy. Just so you know, I always
explain where I got my information and why I think it is or is not accurate
in my notes.

I don't see an answer to your first question.
You can import into Legacy your exported GED 5.5 for preview etc. Just give it
a different filename so it isn't a conflict with your database filename.
Select from the file menu: FileImport FromGEDCOM File. It will ask you
to Open filename.
Geoff,
