From what you have written, it seems that you want to export to a
Gedcom file but you press Select file name and start import, which
seems to be the opposite of creating/exporting a Gedcom file.
Also, maybe your Default location of family files is not
C:\Legacy\Data\ as indicated under
Not really. Select file name... allows the user to update a Gedcom
fileor enter a new file name.

I would think that instead of Select file name they (Legacy) should use
Enter file name.
JLB and Robert Austen,
Thank you both for your kind remarks.
On the further subject of archiving images in Legacy and
elsewhere, while I was working through the thousands of
documents, articles and images a lady delivered to my friend
a pair of cardboard boxes, each measuring about two feet on

Make sure the repository where you are making the scans allows the
equipment. The US National Archives only allows flat bed scanners that are the
size of the document being scanned. You can't copy a legal size document on a
flat bed that is only 8.5 x 11.

Ingress (Immigration) and Egress (Emigration) served the purpose for me but
your INTO and EXIT work just as well (maybe better).

After reading the sad tales of years of genealogy research being lost, I
had a thought regarding how our research can survive us. I have spent many
hours researching at the Mormon's LDS Genealogy Library in Salt Lake City.
In that time, I have benefited greatly from research done by others.
Hello John,
I would like to receive a copy of your documents.
I currently list my photos by surname then first name but I would like
to know of improvements I can make to my method.
Thank you.

1. The Legacy News on the Legacy Home tab wouldn't have the most current news.

Brian,
To avoid printing complications, may I suggest you write all Umlauts with an
e which is standard practice worldwide. Thus ae = ä
/ oe = ö / ue = ü. You should also abbreviate the 16 German states.
Baden-Wuerttemberg = BW and Germany = DE. Thus your location
should read ...
Thanks for the location advice,
