Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom problem

2009-10-06 Thread Stuart Gregory
Margaret, I'm not clear on what you are trying to do, but a MHT file is not a GEDCOM file. It contains markup text for browsers. If you know what to do, open the file in a text editor and remove the markup languages, then save it as a plain text file with the .ged suffix. You will then have to

This happens for me also. You should report this as a bug. I have already reported to Legacy that the program freezes when creating a new database from a Gedcom file. Stuart Perth Western Australia *** Holiday discounts on Legacy 7.0, add-ons, books, and more. Visit http://tinyurl.com/65rpbt.

I don't know what you mean by 'croaks' but I believe that Legacy has at least two problems with importing Gedcoms. I reported the first problem back in May and I was sent an email from Brian at Support to say the bug had been listed to be fixed. As at today it hasn't. This problem related to the

Greetings all, This discussion again raises the question I asked in December last year. That is, mapping Gedcom tags within Legacy. There is no way to find out what Gedcom tags Legacy uses to import/export various bits of data. If you search the archives of this list using mapping Gedcom you will

Do you have any suggestions as to how it could be of some use to me as it is the only reference to the sources of the database ? The UID and the MRIN are of no use to you to use as the source. The source of the information contained in the Gedcom is the provider of the Gedcom. One would hope

C.G. I think your best choice is to load your ged file into a text editor and do a global search and replace. I presume that is what you are doing now. This is a relatively simple process. Another way is to resurrect all your dead persons in Legacy by making them living. But this is not nearly

C.G. I'm confused by your request. If you are exporting non-living people, why would you want to delete the tag DEAT Y Legacy is creating the correct Gedcom tag in this instance, if the person is marked as non-living but has no death date. If you delete the DEAT tag, FTM would (should)

2007-02-04 Thread Stuart Gregory
Hi Gene and all, From my limited knowledge I don't think that Gedcom 5.5 supports these tags. To my knowledge Legacy does not provide the function to export Lat/Long data as notes from the Locations. A work-around might be to place the lat/long data in the notes to the PLAC tag in the Gedcom.

Cathy, Thank you for your quick reply. My OP clearly sought assistance with exporting to Gedcom V5.5, not importing. Since your reply, I have checked again the tags available for export using the Legacy setting for V5.5. None of these tags, and these are only examples of many, are not included
