Diane: It is best to place all your media files in the folder: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media
That is where Legacy 8 would like your media files. If you can copy your media files to that directory and then run Relinker -- Go to: 1. Tools > Media Relinker and run it. 2. After Media Linker has found all you media files, choose the Gather Tab and have it place a copy of the media files into that folder (this will insure that you have all your media files in the above folder). As a note, older versions of Family Tree Maker has their our database that they place the media files into. Unless you have kept copies of your picture files elsewhere, there may be a problem of finding those FTM picture files. Let me know if the Media Relinker worked. If not, a more complicated process may be necessary. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com ----- On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 3:03 PM, Diane Marcotte <dianemarco...@bell.net>wrote: > Hello, > > > > I just bought Legacy 8 and have found that my media files have not come > across with the Gedcom file I made in FTM.
