Has anyone installed Legacy to a thumb drive? And the follow-up - any advice
on the best thumb drive for this purpose?

Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy? Legacy 6.0 Deluxe has 92 features
not found in the Standard Edition.
Janis,
I am running the latest version of Legacy (6.0.0.127) on a 3.0Ghz Desktop
with XP Pro SP2 and all updates or on a dual core Laptop 1.6GHz with Vista
Premium and have a Master File with over 34,000 names. I have been running
it on a flash drive for about 2 months and have used several
Gary,
I have never had the problems you describe in this email.
I have been using flash drives for about 5 years. I use a flash drive daily
for my Legacy data. I have 37,000 names. My cousin has 150,000 names and
uses a flash drive daily. He will once in a while have a problem, but it is
Janis,
Legacy needs to be installed on the computer's hard drive. There needs to be
certain Windows system files on the hard drive in order for Legacy to work
and when you install the program on the thumb drive, that won't happen.
Sure, you could install it on the thumb drive while it's
While we are discussing Flash drives . . . would anyone advise me to put my
GoeDB on the flash drive along with the data file, if so; what are the
advantages of not having it on the Laptop and the Desktop, vs. loading it on
the flash drive, - and what about the multimedia? Any Suggestions?

I use a slightly modified version of the Henry numbering system for
descendants. About 5 years ago with Legacy I started the numbering with my
most distant known ancestor in the family that I do my primary research. Since
then I've been able to go two additional generations back in time and
When you show the line back to the starting person, Show person
numbers would show the people using the number that each person is in the
report. For example, if John was the father of the person and David was the
grandfather, it might show John3, David1, meaning that David was #1 on the
report

A Descendant Book Report is a book-style report that begins with a specific

Really? My understanding was that the new generation of Flash drives or usb
drives or thumb drives (or whatever you choose to call them) can actually
