You mentioned Anyone with an internet connection can look at other people's web pages at Freepages, and there is nothing stopping anyone from copying the data found within. There is no facility there for downloading a GEDCOM from those pages. I believe the option to allow download a GEDCOM

1. The Individual Report does not include Marriage Events whether these are for the person's marriage(s) or are shared from another couple so electing to include shared events will not include shared marriage events. 2. Your assumption that sharing a marriage event means that it becomes a shared

That's why I don't use any of those public webpages such as ancestry or rootsweb. With TNG (The Next Generation) which I recommended in an earlier post, and with MyHeritage, and perhaps other web programs, your information can be totally private if you choose. That way, you can include

MyHeritage has multiple search facilities with various filtering options so you don't have to slog through the thousands of matches it finds. In addition to searching other MyHeritage members' sites (if they are not totally private), it can search, to name only a few, Family Search, Find A

I believe the elizh89.fdb.conflict file exists because you are storing your family file in Dropbox or one of the other systems like MS One Drive, Google drive etc. and you had the file open on two computers at once or opened the file on your computer before the file was updated from a new version

The compatible Gender does seem to be working in Legacy 8 but I have only done limited testing. Since Legacy 7 is now replaced by Legacy 8 there will be no further fixes issued for that software. You can re-position screens and they should remember where they last opened. I just did a test and

I had a child-parent relationship wrong and added the correct mother to the child. Now I want to add the father to the child, who is already listed as the mother's husband. But when I click add father, Legacy tells me the man is already married to the mother, and asks me if I want to add him as

I have Avast installed and have had it for several years. I have never had to disable it to install Legacy. When I'm installing a new program or new build of Legacy, I have sometimes used a small free program - EndItAll - with the Action of Close All. This shuts down any unnecessary programs,
