Go to our Tips page at http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Tips.asp and read
the article on sharing your Family file on CD if you want to make a CD
that other members of your family can use to read your file.
If you just want to make a backup in case of computer troubles you can
use Legacy to make a backup of your family file and Multimedia files
then copy the two backup files to a CD.

Bless you heart, Ron! You really saved the day! :-D
The part in brackets, below, is exactly what I did,
and now I have my entire family file in one Legacy
Tree. I cannot thank you enough! I think I mainly
let myself get too tired to be thinking clearly!
Now, I am going to be wise and transfer all the
files to a CD. Do I just transfer the file name and
multi media files or is their something extra I need
to put on the disc to that anyone could use it if I
sent this CD? I know that you have to put the Legacy
6.0 standard program on there. Thanks, again, Ron!

[If you merged into your own file and backed up
using Legacy then you can
load the zipped back up by going to File>Restore.
You will be asked to give
it a name so I would use a new one, otherwise you
may overwrite one which
you want.]

Hi Darlene,
I am afraid it is not entirely clear from your
email as to what you have
actually done. Did you download the Ancestry pkg as
a Gedcom and zip that,
did you download as a Gedcom and merge into your own
fdb file and then back
that up using Legcay ....etc?

If you have zipped the Gedcom then unzip and use
File>Import from >Gedcom.
If these are not the options which you need then
please clarigy.
