Chris,
It's some time since I tried out RootsMagic direct import of Legacy. It
was with RootsMagic 7. It made a mess of a number of things including
sources. I got a much better result using a Gedcom. I recall another
beta tester reporting a better result using a Gedcom as well. His
concern
When I created my RM 8 File by importing from my Legacy 9 file, all the media links were broken. But, I discovered that it’s easy to reset all the links ... With the file open in RM 8, select the Media tab from the left. In the Multimedia window, elect the 3 dots on the right (next to the
Interesting that their website says "Roots Magic can directly import data
from PAF, Legacy, TNG or Family Origins. It also imports GEDCOM files
.". That would imply that it can access the Legacy database and should
be able to copy the media links.
BUT, their support site says that you need to
There will be links to the images. As long as you don’t move your images
that are linked to Legacy, RootsMagic will find them, once you import your
DEDCOM into RootsMagic. This is assuming you are installing RootsMagic on
the same computer hard drive where your Legacy resides.

I believe RootsMagic will directly import from Legacy - no need for an
intermediate GEDCOM file.

I imported my Legacy 9 database into RootsMagic 8. All the linked media
came along with the imported data. I did not export my Legacy data to
Gedcom, but instead used the import feature of RM8. It has import
functions for most major software packages like Legacy and Family Tree
Maker.

If RootsMagic is installed on the same computer and your images linked in
Legacy remain where they are, there will be links included in your GEDCOM
file used to move your Legacy data. Once imported into RootsMagic, this
program will find the images, based on the links. If you then, at some

I know this is off topic, but when you migrate from Legacy to Roots Magic,
is there a way to transfer everything, meaning what's in the Media Gallery?
The only way I know how to transfer to another platform like Roots Magic is
a gedcom and from what I understand, media does not get included.
Yes, that is the platform I'll be using. RM8 seems to be a
significant improvement over RM7. Its global search and replace feature
will allow me to easily correct the spelling errors caused by the lack of
unicode support in Legacy.
