From all I've heard, TNG is great.  But it won't do me any good with 
comcast.net who says they don't support MySQL and PHP for personal 
accounts.  I don't want to rent space when I get over a gig of free 
space.  So it's Legacy's web building I'm interested in.

I just noticed how well Legacy works with the new version... No harm 
done... it seems like Millennia would (should) sell this much like they 
do Gensmarts.  It would help TNG and Millenia both.

The GEDCOM file is the easiest... and when I update information I export 
a GEDCOM file and upload it... TNG uses legacies RINs and MRINs and 
sorts everything out beautifully.

How does data get into TNG? Do I need a GEDCOM file?
If you already have your genealogy in a desktop program (like PAF,
Legacy, FamilyTreeMaker, Reunion, etc.), then the quickest and easiest
way to get your data into TNG is to have your program output a GEDCOM
file (standard method of genealogical data exchange) and then import it
into TNG. The whole process takes only a few minutes (or less, depending
on how big your file is). Of course you don't really need a GEDCOM file.
If you want to enter your data by hand directly into TNG, you can do
that through the administrative interface.

Legacy's Gedcom files integrate seamlessly into The Next Generation 
Genealogy Site builder.


If you are curious take a look at http://mcdfamily.org (my family's 
genealogy site).


You will find that the RINs translate to individual numbers and the 
MRINs translate to family numbers.


Every time I upload a legacy GEDCOM it will apply only the changes... 
and the source templates translate dead on with this website.  I then 
add photos and documents which are attached correctly every time I 
upload a new GEDCOM.  TNG also protects my LDS data showing 
it only to 
family members who are LDS and I can set different privacy levels so 
that certain users can view private info and the public can only view 
public info.


I am shocked that Millennia does not make a deal to sell this 
package as 
an addon... Legacy is the only program other than PAF that will 
seamlessly integrate with it... I can't believe that both 
groups don't 
work together.  I've tried them all with TNG and it's easy to 
update the 
sites information with Legacy then Upload a Gedcom and watch 
it fill in 
all the data.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy's integration with The Next Generation of Genealogy Website

2008-07-09 Thread John B. Lisle

Tim,

This may sound a lot like advertising. But I treat it as making 
Legacy Users aware of this tool. I know I do not make a dime making 
this knowledge available. In fact, I end up spending a lot of time 
helping people with it.


Yes, you do use a Gedcom file for importing the data. At some point 
you need to identify what is going to be the master copy of your 
database. and a lot of people feel that Legacy is likely the best 
tool to be a master.


I have databases from a few hundred people to almost 100K people in 
Legacy that I have successfully uploaded to TNG.


What TNG has done in Version 7 (after a lot of prodding by me and 
others...) is to get TNG to import some of the proprietary Legacy 
Gedcom tags so that the Lat/Long data is imported, among other Legacy 
specific data.


If you or anyone wishes to learn more, we can chat off-list.

john.

How do you get Legacy 7 to pass the lat and long to TNG so that it's 
mapping will work?


You do have to go and manually link your media for best effect... TNG 
v7's new web 2.0 interface makes that much easier.


Can I look at your site?

I also will gladly help anyone set up TNG and can arrange hosting if 
anyone is interested.

With the introduction of mapping with Legacy 7 and the ability to mass

Legacy users should definitely consider TNG if they wish to publish on
