Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

[Cathy Pinner]

Pete, You initially suggested you downloaded your Ged from Ancestry rather than creating it in FTM. Perhaps you did go through FTM. If you didn't the image links won't be in your Legacy file so trying to point somewhere or use the Media Relinker won't work. Ancestry Gedcoms are worse than FTM. You would do well to start again after absorbing the advice. Cathy Pete Beatty wrote: Martha, Thanks for the input.  The GED is new. I found data, just did not know where to look. Still have a lot of linkage errors and will have to manually correct.

What I am wondering, and others may be able to answer better than I, is the time frame involved with creating a gedcom on Anc and when the original files were updated online. What if and this is pure speculation... the files in your gedcom are old? If you have updated a person or a family and you know exactly when you did the update, you might be able to take a look at the Ged file once it is imported into  Legacy, then compare it to that which is currently online. That would tell you that the gedcom contains old files, not the current data. Thinking outside normal parameters.
