Re: [LegacyUG] Research Notes
Kathy, Please add me to your list. Although, it's too late to help, I've been tasked with teaching a class on this topic for our local LUG group and have spent some time researching this list for ideas. I'm at a distinct disadvantage, having never made use of this Legacy resource so whatever your request turns up be will useful in the future.

Re: [LegacyUG] Transitioning to Legacy from Family Tree Maker
Paul, In going back to FTM 2008, I discovered a deeper problem that I may need to remedy before deciding what to do about the issue in my original post. When I upgraded from an earlier version of FTM (I don't remember which version) to FTM 2008, I failed to properly link the media files before discontinuing work on my family tree. That was two+ years ago. When I returned recently, I was exposed to Legacy and decided to convert. Fortunately, my database is reletively small (750 individuals) as is the media file (178 items). In the process of following your advice, I discovered a more complete version (names rather than just numbers) of FTM media that I may just link to manually when time allows. In any case, looks like I've got more work to do to complete the conversion process. Thanks for the advice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Transitioning to Legacy from Family Tree Maker
Paul, Doing as you've suggested brings up a list of 10 identified paths. Should I list them all on list or send you the list in a separate email?

[LegacyUG] Transitioning to Legacy from Family Tree Maker
I'm a new Legacy user making the transition from FTM 2008. I have Legacy v. 7.5.0.56 installed on a desktop running Windows XP, SP 3 and on a laptop running Windows 7. The transition via Gedcom was seemingly uneventful, however, none of the census images, photos or other miscellaneous documents were placed in Legacy's default folder, i.e. C:Legacy>Pictures; but, are instead included in sub-folders within C:Legacy>Paulson Family Tree multimedia Based on conversations with another Legacy User (I'm a member of a local Legacy User Group), I'm about ready to conclude that to take full advantage of all the features available in Legacy, I need to move the contents of the Paulson Family Tree multimedia folder described above to C:Legacy>Pictures. I need assurance that my conclusion is correct and, if so, could I "click and drag" the entire folder (including the sub-folders contained therein) from their current location to C:Legacy>Pictures; or, is there a better way? Are there any unforeseen consequences I need to be aware of? Any guidance fellow list users provide will be most appreciated.
