Florence, You can't enter autosomal DNA tests (like Ancestry) in the same way you can enter other types of DNA tests. The results are megabytes long. You can enter an event and attach the results file to that. You can use events to help you keep track of definite matches. There are other ideas

Georges, Legacy does remember the paths to all the linked media. I also use sub-folders. Are you saying that it doesn't remember the last folder you were using last time you linked a piece of media but starts at the folder in 6.2? That's what I expect it to do. But within a session it

I have to live with some constrains imposed by Legacy. Since I have copies of Legacy on more than one computer, I keep all my Media file on a separate external drive that I move from computer to computer. If I use only one folder that I identify with 6.2, I have no problems and all the
