[LegacyUG] Gedcom files

[aj.rudge]

HI.

I am trying  to create a gedcom file of my family file from Legacy 9.00 for
importing into Family search and Ancestry.

I Have tried using various file types eg  - Basic, 5.5.1 gedcom while it
saves it as *.ged, file extension  I am unable to open the saved file to
view it before importing into Family Search and Ancestry.

I am asked to find a file from the app store or use a microsoft app that
will open it. But none of these work either. 

 

Thanks

In legacy 7 it is Report, Books and Other, Relationships  

Legacy 9, Reports menu, Other Reports select Relationships from dropdown menu

Hi

is there a way (or a trick) to form a list of people and each one's 
relationship to some starting person? 

It would need to be the "primary" relationship as shown on the Family view 
screen, not any of the others shown in the Relationship Calculator.

By "form" the list I mean by focus group, or tag, or hashtag or anything else.

Thanks
Teresa

[LegacyUG] Gedcom files uploading to web site.

[aj.rudge]

Hi 

I would like to upload my FT to Ancestry and other websites as a Gedcom
file.

I am reasonably certain I have stripped the records of any notes or sources
by using the privacy tools on legacy. 

However I note that the addresses  entered  in the birth, death and burial
records are still showing

I would like to know if these addresses will stripped or removed when the
file is uploaded. 

I know that dates of persons still living are stripped and names marked as
private.

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom files uploading to web site.

Hi

I Had the same problem: You need t oo to Customise on bottom right of the 
window.

There are more options there.

Also look at options in the top right.

I also use a programme called gen viewer which allows you to see what will be 
exported.

 

Regards.

A question:

How do you prevent the  notes from being exported?

I’ve done as Cathy suggested 
Customize-> Export items-> Export  these items and removed NOTE and MNOTE 
without success, all notes are still exåported

So now I use "brute force" with Notepad++-, I’ve created a macro that removes 
all lines starting with a digit,followed by a space and then NOTE, CONT  or 
CONC .

Search for ^\d\s\b(NOTE|CONT|CONC)\b.*\R 

Repalace with nothing

it works and my gedcom shrinks from 578529 to 491189 lines

You don't use privacy to strip out notes etc from a gedcom, you use the Gedcom 
customise options. They control which gedcom tags are exported. See the 
Customise button on the right. This includes an exclude option for 
address/phone and Notes of various kinds. I don't know whether that is just 
mailing addresses or event addresses. 
It's true that Ancestry etc will privatise the living for you but you can 
choose not to include the living in your gedcom using the options in the 
Privacy section in the Gedcom export. I think this is a better option.
When exporting for Ancestry I generally just include the vital events with 
their sources. You can do this by using Basic and then adding the tags SOUR and 
PAGE.
I also go to the second tab headed Other Options on the main export screen and 
uncheck to override source options as I don't want to include my source detail 
text OR sources that I have chosen not to include in reports.

If you don't have a gedcom viewer program and find the gedcom difficult to 
understand when opened in Notepad (as it's a plain text file), you can import 
your gedcom to a new Legacy file to see what you are actually exporting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Mass deleting entries

[aj.rudge]

Robert.

Two ways: 

1.  Unlink them from your from their families so keeping them in your 
database. 
2.  Tag the  ones you want deleted an then delete them.

Either way you need to spend time making sure you unlink or delete the correct 
ones.

Cheers

Hello

I hope that you can help me on this. I have 1,000's + of entries that I did not 
enter in my tree. How do I delete masses of these people? My tree consist of 
27,000+ people and about 3,000+ are wrong. My DNA shows that I am 100% french 
and these entries are English and whatever.

How can I delete these people without deleting relatives sprinkled among  them? 
Thank you for your time.

Re: [LegacyUG] Webinar on using ChatGPT

John

It is in the Legacy Webinar File.

You need a webinar subscription to view it.

I did not receive the email until yesterday (5 December in Australia). I have

John,
You simply missed it in the list in Legacy News. You need a webinar 
membership to see TechZone videos. Very rarely one is made free for a 
short time like recent one on Two Factor Authentication.
 From Legacy News:

  I just watched it. It was interesting but I don't feel a need to put

[LegacyUG] File savng and charting

[aj.rudge]

Somehow, When I open Legacy it doesn't give the option of which file to open
I need go to a list of files then open the one I want to work on. 

Also when I close legacy it doesn't give me the option of saving to back up
or just closing. 

Finally when I went to create a chart the charting facility also did not
open up. 

I think my data files are in a different place in that they don't seem to be
correctly linked. 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for your help. Will try some of the options you have suggested.

What file, if any, opens when you open Legacy is controlled by Options > 
Customise 1.2 The folder Legacy expects your data file to be in is the one you 
specify at Options > Customise 6.1.
You do not have to use the Legacy Default of ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\Data\ folder If you have your data file in folder that is syncing with the 
Cloud, make sure it is keeping local copies on your computer.
The Documents folder may be in OneDrive depending on your OneDrive settings. If 
OneDrive is on your computer, you often have to check regularly whether it is 
keeping local copies and whether it has your Windows Documents folder inside of 
it or not. It will have a Documents folder probably but it may not be the one 
Windows is recognising. I don't sync my Documents folder with OneDrive so the 
one Legacy uses is not in OneDrive but there is still a Documents folder there.
Your Legacy settings are stored in ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ 
folder in whichever Documents folder is being recognised by Windows. If you 
move the Legacy Family Tree folder or rename it, it will be recreated with 
Legacy defaults.

I'd start by restarting your computer. That's a Restart which is a complete 
clearing our of memory and starting. Unless you've turned off Fast Start, the 
operating system is simply hibernated when you ShutDown.

The Restart may solve your Charting issue. If not, you may need to reinstall 
Legacy. I'd first try reinstalling without uninstalling first. 
Note Charting settings are held in ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\LegacyCharting  So this is another thing that will be mixed up if the 
\Legacy Family Tree\ folder has been moved or renamed or is syncing with a 
cloud without a local copy being kept on the computer.

If Legacy isn't asking you to backup your file when you exit, then either you 
haven't made any changes to the database or you have lost the setting in 
Options > Customise 12.5 on the Prompts/Reminders tab.

Hope that helps.
If it doesn't, contact Support. supp...@legacyfamilytree.com
