A Universal Identifier is a unique ID assigned to a particular record created at a particular time on a particular system. Identical records created at the same time on different systems will have different Universal Identifiers. Legacy creates?/maintains Universal Identifiers and will export them in gedcoms (tag = _UID) but I've found no way so far to view them from within the program.

Subject: [LegacyUG] "Universal Identifier"


While searching for persons in my family tree I often see a "Universal Identifier" in conjunction with a person. What is a "Universal Identifier" and how is it arrived at? Can it be used with Legacy software?
Thanks,
         Owen
