Well, Brian, that's not perhaps the most helpful reply I've seen
written on these boards. I have already done that.

Hello,
I have recently bought a laptop and I also have a desk top. I enter info on

Thank you

Diane,
I use a flash drive. I keep my data on the flash drive and back up to the
desktop laptop computers.
This way, I can take my data with me and use any computer that has Legacy
installed on it.

I agree, a flash drive is the easiest to use.

Hello Diane,
It would be worth looking at the free program from Microsoft called SyncToy
(from the MS site) which automatically updates the data files between 2 (or
more!) locations. I use it for Legacy on 3 machines here including a Laptop.
It allows me to work on any machine and update all
This is the best way to do it! I carry my flash drive to the FHC and
guess-what?? They have the latest version of Legacy on their computers and
all I have to do is plug my flash-drive into their usb port and I can work
with my data and modify it there.

Hi Diane,
As you've already seen, there is more than one way to achieve the
desired result. No one method is it, each has its own merits and
problems and you will need to consider how they fit with you and make
your own decisions.
My method is to have the working copy on my desktop
Hi Alastair,
Perhaps you could be more precise about what it is you are trying to do
and the steps you've already taken? Brian was not to know that you had
already tried his suggestion since you did not say so previously. BTW,

Hi.
Have tried various ways. To me the best way is to run the database on a
flash/ pen drive (and put all media files on the flash drive too). This way
you are using the same database. I then do the zip backup to my desktop
computer.

I welcome recommendations on listing children when given names are not
known.
For instance, when it is known 8 children were born of a marriage, but
given names are only known for two. How does one record the other 6?
Thanks

I put "child", "son" or "dau" as the given name. With "child" you wouldn't know the sex so click on the "?" and it turns a green color for unknown sex. You could put those ID's in the prefix field if you wanted, instead.

Hi Alistair,
Re 1)
Have you got on John Brown's marriage screen:
a) marked as unmarried
b) relevant wording chosen (if desired).
Despite the fact that at this time you don't know whether or not he
was married, if you don't want the report to say he was married, you
have to say he isn't. Then
For me, that depends on where they are in my tree.
If they are close relatives, Child One, or Boy/Girl One if I know gender.
If not, a note in the Marriage Notes. eg: This couple had 8 children.
Details known for two.
I particularly do this for parents of those who have married in, when

One more vote for keeping your Legacy multimedia files on a USB/pen
drive with the Legacy program installed on both the desktop and the
laptop. Perform backups to the hard drives on whichever computer you
are using. This way, you never have to be concerned with
syncronization and you have your
14 matches
