[LegacyUG] Need to remove my ancestral line from family file

2011-04-17 Thread Barbara Lewis
I've forgotten how to do that on Legacy. Of course I have backups in case I mess up, but I want to delete me and all my kin from the main file... I actually unlinked me from my spouse and then I went up to Search, entering my name, and tried to create a focus group, bringing up an ancestral list

Hi, Does anyone have suggestions about how to coordinate with my family organization? I need to go through and match all my ancestors to new.familysearch.org. I am thinking that I just need to: 1. give them a copy of my gedcom file, 2. have them buy Legacy, 3. give them my login to

Larry, Why don't you look into Drop Box? If everyone has the same version of Legacy and always hooks up to an internet connection when turning on their computer, everyone would have the same data file on their computer. If there was a problem, you'd see it. https://www.dropbox.com/ With

Barbara, If all you want is just your spouse's line in the file then just unlink your self from your spouse. Then create a new empty legacy file, then open a split screen window, when it asks if you want to open another file in the new window then pick the file that you just unlinked your self in.

Cathy, How does Drop Box handle the simultaneous use of the same file by more than one user? If two or more are using the file at the same time to make changes will both sets of changes be in the file after they quit and their amended files are uploaded to Drop Box? This is a big issue with
