When Legacy offers to find missing multi-media files for you be aware of
possible corruption.
I have a small, (300 person) file of people from Neudorf, Baden created from
reading 3 LDS microfilms. My pictures of film are named: Page1.jpg,,
Page2.jpg, etc. My directory has;
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053230\item1_baptisms\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053230\item1_marriages\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053230\item1_deaths\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053230\item2_baptisms\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053230\item3_baptisms\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053231\item1_baptisms\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053231\item2_baptisms\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053231\item4_marriages\Page#
C:\Legacy\MM\church_records\Neudorf\1053346\family_albums\Page#
A file named Page12, for example could be in any of 9 possible directorys.
When I renamed two of my directorys for conformity, the file path was
broken. I let legacy find them and they were scattered into 6 different
wrong directorys. The leftovers, page numbers that weren't found in other
directorys were not found by Legacy, I had to link one manually and then the
others were found.
Fortunately, I was able to correct the paths using MS Access.
My main database has people photos with common filenames like "age1" or
"Christmas2001" that might be found in multiple directory paths. If your
tree is anything like mine Don't let Legacy try to find missing links.
