Re: [LegacyUG] Spell checker

Teresa, I suggest you contact Support. I don't know much about Spellcheck as I don't use it very much. However, "son" is certainly recognised by my copy. I checked the user added Dictionary and I seem to have only added Surnames and Place Names to it. Cathy Teresa Williams wrote: I ran th

[LegacyUG] Spell checker

I ran the spellchecker over a story for the first time lat night. It didn't recognise lots of words which I'd have thought were common - including the word 'son'. Genealogy without the word 'son' would be challenging. Of the 150-ish words in the story it didn't recognise about 90. Is it possibl

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

I agree with most of your comments suzy. I've never been involved with ancestry and have been with my heritage for around 3 years now. If not for the records they have from all of us our family trees would barely exist, however we ALL feed my heritage, ancestry etc the info and their annual members

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

IMHO, I think many people, including me, are more than a bit concerned about Legacy Family Tree (Millennia) hooking up with an organization that functions the way MH does with their customer base. They certainly do NOT measure up to Legacy in that regard. I'm worried that Legacy may eventually be f

You can move your entire Documents file to another drive so long as you use the right method. I only have one physical hard drive but it is partitioned into 2. The Windows standard location for Document, Pictures, Downloads, etc are in C:\Users\But they can all be moved to another drive if you

Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Drives

This is not really a subject for this group because moving programs and data to another Drive is a general windows question not related to using Legacy. In order to answer your question you will need specify which version of Windows you are using. I can tell you that in windows 10 you do it li

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

I find it interesting that the majority of complaints are directed towards MyHeritage and not Ancestry, FindMyPast etc. who all use the same business practices and who also share information we provide to them (i.e. our own family trees). Well I for one WANT them to share my information - that'

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

I may sound a little unreasonable because if not for my heritage etc, doing a family tree would be much more difficult, however it really annoys me that we, the members are actually providing the info which allows them to continue running their business and for that they charge us very high fees!

Hi, help please, Can I move my whole program and Data file as well as Media Files to another drive? My C drive is small and I have a large external hard drive?? I am haveing trouble relinking the media. These files are already on the external hard drive. -- Sheila -- LegacyUserGroup mailing lis

I should never give my card number for such a “free” trial. More and more companies including Microsoft and Norton promises free trial but they demand my credit card number. I have a special card for all internet shopping, this card I can load with money as required. And, if I sometimes miss to l

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

Actually, you should assume that the minute they ask for a card its not free, A company with a good product does not need to ask for a method of payment for a trial. Like Legacy, Great product, You try it, You like it , You buy it. Ian On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 11:52 AM, John Cardinal wrote: >

Pauline, Your post indicates that MyHeritage uses subtle techniques to try and part you from your money when you aren't really interested in the product they are pushing. Those techniques are often called "dark patterns". Free services that convert into paid subscriptions are a common exa

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

I'm wondering how did My Heritage get your credit card info to begin with.  Did  you have a subscription at some point?  I'm hoping 23andMe or WorldVitalRecords didn't give it to them. I don't like their interface either, but what I've done is create a gedcom from Legacy and uploaded that to M

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

Thank you for the information, I will be very careful with my dealing with  MyHeritage. I am a long time user of ancestry.com, family search.com, and findagrave.com, coming from rootsweb long ago. I have noticed a few times MyHeritage has sent things for me to fill in on my lineage on their site,

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

I think My Heritage and Ancestry are similar in that they automatically direct debit your account each year, without notifying first. I understand it's all in the 'fine' print. I had a huge disagreement with them last year after they direct debited my account and I told them they were unscrupulous

Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage - not free

Pauline, I agree that My Heritage subscription plans were very confusing as they are split between trees and real records. I think they've made them a little clearer and have some plans that include both the trees and the real records. Their practice of auto renewing without warning is also i

Hi Pauline, You're talking about two totally different things - subscription to MyHeritage data etc. and FREE to upload DNA data from other companies if you're not a subscriber. It sounds like you were using MyHeritage Online to add to your tree and haven't been using the MyHeritage Family Tre
