Hi Cindy, There's always a learning curve for upgraded software but if you persist you'll find that Legacy 8 is a lot more than a cosmetic change. Legacy 8 doesn't often crash but you likely lost your Toolbar customisation in a crash because some changes are only locked in when you exit. Make

Jay, I did a restore. Paul solved the problem saying to check the way the dates were set. When I loaded the file onto the new computer [nothing like waiting until the last minute] the date setting in the program was for month, day, year. I entered everything as day, month, year. Once I

[LegacyUG] Source Quality in Version 8

Legacy version 8 added a nice pop-up to record source quality. I have figured out how to use it, but how do I get to print out on a Family Group Sheet, or other report? Thanks in advance Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov.

Do you mean the new Evidence Analysis feature or the Source Surety which has been in Legacy for quite a while? The Source Surety (1 to 4) can be included with sources. Use the Sources tab and select source surety in the bottom left. The inclusion of Evidence Analysis (Orig vs Derivative, Prim vs

The Dekalb problem can mostly be solved by entering a comma (Dekalb,) and then Legacy will offer a suggestion, if you then type another letter the suggestion will get tighter. If you want what Ancestry does as part of their auto fill I don't think Legacy will ever do it G I don't like so many

What version of Legacy? I’m guessing 7.5. (Note my recent e-mail.) When you say the link is missing, do you mean that there is no indication of a picture/media file for the source, or that it is there with caption and filename, just not linked to the associated image/document file? If the

Just picked up Legacy 8. (Upgraded from TMG4-8, then FH5, then RM6.) So maybe I'm doing something wrong. Let's say I want to add a census entry for an individual. I open his Individual's Information window, and then under Events/Facts, I click on Add. I'm presented with a Add Event

Hi Robert, I'm not experienced with the programs you mention but have you looked at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsGEDCOMfiles.asp which has tips on how to export the gedcom from other programs to import into Legacy? That may help. The drop down list in the Add Event dialogue is not a list

It appears that the only “Titles” I have left as facts are the ones with the tag name “Style.” I must have created that. And it appears that every Title tag I had pre-import has now been converted into an individual custom tag. Rather than just a simply populated Title tag. From:

Thanks. It seems to have converted all my Titles, previously entered as Title tags, so I could add dates and witnesses (TMG), into custom events. 12th Earl of Norfolk, and several thousand more, have now become custom event tags each expecting it's own sentence structure. Since I was coming

Robert, You might want to check out a third party software called LTools that helps to manipulate the ms Access database specifically for Legacy. Tho' in your case you might have to get a copy of Leg ver 7.5 and load the gedcom into that first as I dont think the LTools managed Legacy 8 shared
