Until the major national and international genealogical Societies and Journals
agree on one style of sourcing there will be no "standard".
Such agreement is about as likely as Rev. Phelps or Osama Bin Laden being
elected Pope.

Ron,
If someone sends me a CD with their information which is on Family Tree,
which will have pictures, will I be able to import this information into
Legacy without lossing them?
They will send me a gedcom file, but that will have no pictures and I just
love pictures.
Thanks for the help

I used the GPS converter the other day and it put my location of a cemetery in
the middle of the Hudson River. I had to move the push pin manually to a spot I
thought the cemetery should be in, in the middle of the woods.

Eileen,
I take it that you do not have a copy of FT. Legacy cannot import directly from
that program so you will need a Gedcom either on a CD or via email. However the

CD) and attached once the individuals are in L

That depends. My understanding is that when receiving signals from multiple
satellites it should be accurate to 3 feet. However, the *map* that the
coordinates show on may not be accurate.

You can (in V6 at least) enter up to 9 places in locations (8 commas).

The GPS system has a potential maximum accuracy of 30cm (1 foot).
However, that signal, the P(Y) channel, is encrypted and the encryption
code changes daily so it is only available to the miltary and specific
government users. Typical civilian GPS accuracy is within 15 meters (50
feet), depending
That would be most welcome.

I also suggested to Legacy that they add a 5th place in the Location

Did you get a response from Legacy? As others on the list have said (even
recently), there are actually 9 fields for location. There are 4 pre-defined
USA sorts, but you can add to these if it fits your research. Look at the
sort option when you have your Master Location List open.
