One of the concerns that I am seeing in this set of messages is a fear that
MyHeritage will be able to extract a copy of your tree from your local PC
through Legacy.

To do that, they will need to get Millennia to make changes to the Legacy
program, which I doubt that they will do so long as they are operating
totally separately.

If they did manage to make that change they would also need your explicit
permission to do it.

Doing it without permission, which could be done, is the theft of your
private information, including information on living people.

That would be illegal in the EU, GB and, I assume, USA, and I am sure that
your USA based users are quite capable of raising a class issue against them
if they did it.

If, as it has been suggested, MyHeritage have ignored a user setting that a
tree is Private and converted it to Public tree with no permission, they are
again breaking our laws.

 So, there should not be an issue here, but we do need to keep an eye on
what they are planning and doing.

Anne,
It still applies.

Besides it's not so easy to sync a desktop database with an online tree
system. Note the delay in the release of FTM and RootsMagic sync ability
with the Ancestry tree.
Any syncing between a Legacy family file and a My Heritage tree requires the
development of the mechanism to do it.
It won't come before Legacy 10 and is expected to be entirely optional.
On top of that you then have the Privacy settings on a MyHeritage tree
apparently. I don't have one.

I use the shared event function primarily when recording census listings.  I 
track census listings primarily to identify who was then in the household.  The 
shared event function allows you to mark all household members at one time, 
rather than creating an individual event for each household member.

I’m curious to see how other people use that functionality.

Hello ...
I am happy that v9 has a FAG data field and direct link to this well accepted 
and important genealogical tool.  For years I have been capturing FAG memorials 
in my Legacy file by copying the FAG memorial number into the UserID field.  
Now that there is a dedicated FAG memorial ID field, is there an easy way to 
mass copy the data from one field to the other?  I'd like to avoid retyping (or 
linking) every record connected to FAG in my file as there are over 4,500 
records with this data.
Thanks,
Scott

Use LegacyStories. Org to record your stories and connect pictures and stories

Does anyone not use Legacy Family Tree for media?  The media backup and Media 
Relinker are unreliable and I’m considering not using the software for 
recording media any more.  Yesterday I found out that the backups that I 
religiously did were not including masses of documents and media.  In the mail 
archives I found a comment by Richard Wasshnova that Legacy adds a considerable 
number of characters to the path of a given medium.  Although I have used a 
little utility called TLPD to search out any paths that are too long, it seems 
my effort has been for naught.

In addition to asking whether anyone uses Legacy Family Tree only for data and 
not media, I’m very curious now to learn how other people are naming their 
documents to avoid the path too long problem.

Many thanks,
Priscilla Glasow

Subject: [LegacyUG] How to source a ,docx document

I need to source a .docx document. It is available from the Murphree
Genealogical Association's website
http://www.murphree.us/ .
The document can *not* be used on-line due to its size of 5.4 MB and
length of 3,818 pages.
On the website, the document is referred to as the Murphree
Genealogical Association Database, (July 2015 Edition). As to the
author, we are shown this: "This official MGA database is available
for download, thanks to the work of the MGA Genealogist & Historian,
Bruce Jordan, and the Murphree Newsletter Editor, Linda Jordan."
Further, we are told, "Because of the massive size of the database,
it will be updated only annually, so additions will not be made immediately."
So, I know it is a word document, it is updated annually, and
the people putting it together may change.

I would like to have some help on how to source this document. It is
an invaluable resource for my wife's family.
Thank you.
