There is also the use of witnesses.
The witnesses in TMG do not transfer to GEDCOM and if the cousin has used them
to a great extent it would be a major work to re-do them somehow in Legacy.
I do like one report Legacy does better than the same TMG report...
The Kinship /Relatives Report in Alpha order rather than kinship order.
The only thing I don't like is that Legace limits to 999 people. {sigh}

Hi
It's me again - the lurker and lumper.
I hate to defend TMG because it is slow and old fashioned in its user
interface but it does have one advantage over Legacy that this group has
highlighted for me. That is it all works. The latest version of Legacy
appears to me to be full of bugs in crucial areas notably the new source
writer. Also I have just spent a few hours messing about with this very
attractive feature with a gedcom imported from TMG and it is not possible to
merge an imported source with a similar source created by the source writer
without losing the imported source detail. Consequently it would be a major
rewrite to move from TMG to Legacy for me as I am a source lumper and have
about 10000 people in my tree. Assuming each person features in 2 or 3
censuses on average for example there is 20-30000 source details I would
have to recreate just for starters. Perhaps that is something your cousin
should consider. It's certainly putting me off.
