Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

Pete, You initially suggested you downloaded your Ged from Ancestry rather than creating it in FTM. Perhaps you did go through FTM. If you didn't the image links won't be in your Legacy file so trying to point somewhere or use the Media Relinker won't work. Ancestry Gedcoms are worse than

Re: [LegacyUG] census entry for indian territory

A little further digging seems to reveal that this is a federal census "population schedule" - with that template to be used (for the year 1900); the actual census page shows "Indian Territory" as the state and "Creek Nation" as the county, so that's what I've entered.  It does make me curious

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

Martha, Thanks for the input. The GED is new. I found data, just did not know where to look. Still have a lot of linkage errors and will have to manually correct. Pete B (my phone) > On Sep 8, 2016, at 6:06 PM, Martha Graham wrote: > > Hi Pete, > I do not use Ancestry

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

Hi Pete, I do not use Ancestry for my genealogy, I have used Legacy for a very long time, quitting FTM long before Anc. purchased it. What I am wondering, and others may be able to answer better than I, is the time frame involved with creating a gedcom on Anc and when the original files were

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. I did load my data using a GED file. After reading I went back and did some detailed checking. I did find my data. However, it is different and I do not know exactly what the problem is. I will have to look a little harder. My Images did not

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

I barely know enough to be able to fix mouse issues but several years ago transferred files from FTM to Legacy. Whatever I did media files followed but we're all associated as Individual rather than with any other possibility such as a cemetery picture with Burials. Had to sort that out and

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

If your data was in a recent version of FTM (2012 or 2014) you should find all your sources, citations, and media transferring to Legacy via the GEDCOM. Yesterday I completed reviewing, cleaning up, and co mbining some duplicates of my database (500+ sources and 24,000 citations). I use the

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

One step that Geoff glossed over in his video is what to do with the FTM Comments/Place combined field which is used in some versions. He quickly clicked on the option to always store this as a location. There are other options on that screen that may be important to you. If Legacy offers you

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

I don't have any Ancestry experience with moving a gedcom out from their site but can offer a few hints. Sources should have transferred. Media files won't be transferred since gedcoms are only text files. Sadly, the only way to get them from Ancestry to your computer will be one-by-one. You'll

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

Hi Pete, Welcome to Legacy. You probably need to start the process again. Here are the latest directions. From a Facebook Legacy User Group post by Michele Simmons Lewis (Legacy Staff) yesterday. 1) If you have a tree on Ancestry.com you will need to sync your FTM to the tree and make sure

[LegacyUG] Source Transfer from Ancestry

I have been a Family Tree Maker user for MANY years and am now converting to Legacy. I recently create and transferred the Ancestry Data to Legacy using a GED file, using all options available. The question now is: How do I transfer the Sources and Images from FTM?. I have over 800
