Re: [LegacyUG] Backing up family file and what to do with the backup

Hi Priscilla, The file with the L in a circle icon is the file that holds the data you enter. Provided you have that file, all is not lost. If you turned off Hide extension for known file types in Windows Explorer options, then you'd see that those files marked with the Legacy icon are .fdb

You're welcome, John!  Glad it works for you. At one time, I had been putting the hospital (births) or church (marriages) or cemetery (burials) in the Address table.  However, if you select to print addresses, the whole address is included, which is extremely redundant in the book reports.  (I

I appreciate the reply Mike. I was adding media Sources or Source citations. I have thousands added that way. What you said worked just fine. So do you never add media to sources now? I don't often do reports but will have to see if things are different. Kathy On Sat, Aug 2, 2014 at 5:58

[LegacyUG] How to compare existing place location Long/Lat with external data

2014-08-02 Thread Jay 1FamilyTree
OK, here is another question on how to handle the Lat/Long of Locations stored in Legacy. I regularly export my Legacy data in a gedcom to be imported into another software program, TNG , which is used to display my information online. I have a large number of locations that I have fine tuned

2014-08-02 Thread hwedhlor
One of my consistent observations about various map display programs that use a pushpin or map tack icon to indicate locations, is that those icons regularly associate map locations with the body of the pin icons, rather than with the point of the pin icons. How can anyone trust the locations
