File transfer issues both ways: Legacy 5 and 6 import FTM 2006 GEDCOMs with broken words in notes using "let Legacy decide" default so it is necessary to use customize. FTM 2005 changed GEDCOM export for notes. FTM 2006 changed from 35 kb to 1 mb individual notes.
Legacy GEDCOM has long locations with place holder commas if the research areas have no counties or some parts of locations are unknown. A *basic* Legacy GEDCOM rather than the default may be needed for those who are still using old versions of FTM for box charts. My direct line box charts (siblings optional) often have multiples of census details so I know at a glance if the "main" individuals have been found in each available census year from 1851 to 1911. Relatives like to see some interesting detail like occupation or place of origin for each individual, especially when there is no picture available. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "John > transfered my data from Legacy 5 to FTM 10 it went very smothly with > the basic BMD events.
