[LegacyUG] Searching for Legacy email with reduced MH subscription

Does anyone have the email of when Legacy was bought out by myheritage.com from many years ago? That email stated that as Legacy users our subscription fee would be $125 for our lifetime. Another Legacy user in the last few months asked the same question more or less but his value was even less

[LegacyUG] Gedcoms - asking for a miracle

Hi, I know from asking this group many years ago that media is not uploaded with gedcoms. I've asked myheritage.com is there any way of using all the work I've done with numerous certificates and photos for most if not all individuals in my 60,000 and growing tree, to be uploaded without their

[LegacyUG] set as dead when options is not

I've had two people now tell me that individuals in their family that are in my tree are marked as dead in my tree when they're still alive. I have in Options section 2.3 to make them dead if over 120 years old, and ask as Living if set at 94 years old. So how could this have happened if I have it

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10?

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.

Hi, I made a real bonehead move when I did a search and replace. I meant to have only one word replaced and instead I replaced the whole whatever (picture caption, given name, general notes) in my entire file. Unfortunately, I did not catch on until I made at least 216 more entries. I hate to
