Wendy -
I'll be the dissenting voice. I have 4 separate projects - my parents
and my husband's parents. The families lived in different parts of
the country and there is no overlap. Our children's records are with
my husband's surname. I've been doing this for about 20 years and
never had a pr
I agree with everything written so far. :-)
It is much easier to handle one file than many. It means you have only
one set of locations and sources (and others, but these are the main
ones), so you can be consistent in your entries.
It also makes finding that elusive person quickly - if you kne
Jenny gave some good advice on this. I want to add that when all data is in
one file it is easier to maintain. A change to a location affects all
individuals using that locaiton. You don't have to make the location change in
each database that you have. A given individual only exists once so
UPS. I forgot the link.

I would say you definitely want to end up with one combined file. (And

Ron,
I understand that Legacy does not open 'non-picture' files. However, it seems
totally unnecessary to add a data element (the buttons for picture, file,
audio, video) when the file extension already gives more than enough
information to determine what type of action is required.

Paul,
The difference is that whereas Legacy itself opens a picture format it does
not open your data files. These it refers to your registered (or default)
software eg. WORD, OpenOffice, Adobe, Notepad++ etc.. As a consequence they
cannot be included in reports, webpages or other media.

So there is, entering a name/location, or Notes. After all these years, I never
really noticed. That'll come in handy for my French, Swedish, and German
ancestors. I don't like reading instructions, but I guess I should make time
to watch the training videos I got. Thanks.

My wife's family is from Yugoslavia and the names have special characters as

Hopefully, the Legacy folks will address this in a future release.

At this time, Legacy only supports Western European fonts. You'll
need to use those fonts in lieu of Czech fonts.

My wifes mothers family is from Bohemia and Monrovia and their name is
spelled Buřival and Buřivalová. How do I put that into the name field
or should I use my notes field and use the American name of Burival.

Ward,
What puzzles me about this whole issue is why Legacy requires a multimedia link
to be *categorized* in the first place. I can't see that Legacy treats a link
that is a 'file', or 'audio' or 'video' any differently, so why make the
distinction in the first place? In all those cases, will L

Brian, is this the same problem? In the problem that we are talking about, a
link IS created; it's just that nothing is distinguishing the pictures from
the other types of multimedia -- they are all imported as if pictures.

We do have a problem report in our system for this issue of importing
multimedia links from FTM 2012. The issue is still shown as outstanding.
According to the problem report FTM 2012 uses a custom GEDCOM Tag to

It is actually very straight forward and if one took a look at all the options

Don,
I don’t think that it has been mentioned, but .pdf files should not be added as
pictures but as files.
