Hi
If this has been addressed before I apologize for repeating this.
Got a new computer with windows 7. Downloaded Legacy 7.5
Later on will do a backup to transfer to my new computer.
Question:
Old computer has Legacy ver 6.
Will this be a problem when I do a restore on new computer with
ver 7?
Thank you all for the advice. I like the idea of adding them based upon how
strong the “possibility” of a connection may be. For example I’m currently
researching surname Hewitt. There seem to be s many, however I’m focusing
on West Virginia which seems to narrow it down quite a bit.

No, it will not cause a problem. However during the restore process at some
stage you will be asked if it is OK to change your file structure and
advised that the process is not reversible. I would recommend making a
separate back up of your .fdb (or your .zip) file so that in the
You will get differing opinions on this. Some people only research/add their
direct line ancestors. Some people do direct line plus connected collateral
lines, some do all of the right surnames in the area whether proven connected
or not, and some do everyone within a geographical location.
Geoff was the one that put ours together. We had it at BYU. He would
have a different topic each time, then a Q/A afterward. Since he moved,
it is still going but not as well attended and not at BYU anymore.

I have worked on my family tree for about 30 years now, on different
software products until I finally found Legacy - and yes, I'm a happy

Michele,
I don’t know where in Georgia you are, but if you are in North Georgia near the
North Carolina line, we have a user’s group that meets once a month at the Moss

My great grandfather's name was John Johnson. He married Mary Jones. Can you
imagine saving all the people with these surnames in your database? You might
want to temper your selection of names to enter by something other than surname.

The only limitation is the actual file size which should be no bigger

Marli,
The possibility of printing pictures varies from report to report, as you have
found. If the option is either greyed out, or not present then the picture will
not print. This is true for all ie. Individual, Events etc.
Usually you can only print one picture for each option, and this is
Sherry, this question concerns the new version that is out. My Legacy shows
a new version to install. Is it safe? Are there problems with this version
as there were with an earlier version? I want to stay updated, but hesitate
to install.

I doubt if there is a piece of software on the market which does not have a
flaw or a bug somewhere. Why do you think Microsoft keeps updating your
version of Windows, or don't you let it?
It is unfortunate that a recent update was released before it was ready, but
this is not normal, and
I think from reading the topic about adding possible ancestors/descendants,
that some keep a separate database or family file for possible relations;
others keep those individuals in islands How do you create islands in your

An Island is formed by having at least one individual who is not linked in any
way to someone in your main tree. If there are, say, three people linked
together but not linked to the main tree then you have one Island of 3 people.

Betty,
FamilySearch has decided to use United States as their 'standard' because
of the potential 'confusion' using just the initials, however unlikely we
may think that is. Nobody is 'required' to use FS standards but it tends
to be useful to adopt certain standards in the genealogical community

I hadn't seen it yet either but I certainly understand it. For instance
USA can just as easily mean the old Union of South Africa. In fact I
think there are three or four problematic permutations of it when
discussing historical contexts.

Marg,
The Y-DNA is only passed down through the male line, so the answer to you
question is a (slightly qualified) yes.
As this is off-topic for this list I am sending you direct a pdf giving basic
details of the types of DNA tests and what they are for.
