You need to isolate Windows from the Mac. Otherwise, your files are all on some unix drive, e.g., \\Documents\... Your problem is with the settings in Parallels. You cannot share with the Mac to get your filing system looking like a windows machine so things will work correctly Sent from

[LegacyUG] Cannot relink media files?

2017-01-03 Thread Scott Hall
I don't know why Legacy lost the link to over 500+ media files. I didn't change the file location (it's on Dropbox). All files are still in Legacy/Media folder. However, I get prompted to relink my media, and when I run the relink program, I get told "Legacy cannot find your media files." I've

I believe that your statement: “The public and private tree are established only by paid subscribers and can be viewed only by paid subscribers.” is incorrect. If you ‘invite’ someone to your tree, then they can view it if they have an account but are not currently subscribed (paying). If the

To my knowledge, there are three types of trees on Ancestry: free, public, and private. The public and private tree are established only by paid subscribers and can be viewed only by paid subscribers. All paid subscribers can view and search through any other public tree but trees that are

I believe that Ancestry recognizes a difference between an "account" and a "subscription". An account is free, and a subscription costs money. I had both my siblings submit saliva specimens to Ancestry (I ordered the kits) for DNA analysis. They each opened an "account" at Ancestry (at no cost)

Thank you. I'll have to try that link. Then again it might not work for me because I have a current subscription. The only free option I have without a subscription is for my state (Pennsylvania). I have to login through a special link to access state records, but it doesn't work through my

That answers the question. It doesn't work without a subscription so nothing has changed. I was curious to see if anyone could access it without a subscription. I'm surprised the link worked because I didn't know where it would take you. -Original Message- From: LegacyUserGroup

Hi, As far as I am aware, you need to register by setting up a user name, and then you should be able to see any public trees, but you do not have access to sources or to do research. You do not have to provide any financial information or credit card information. I have given invitation to

I do not have an account with Ancestry.com. Using the link you provided I got a "Sign In to Ancestry" screen instead of viewing the person. On that basis it looks like Ancestry will not let anyone without an account view public trees. I did not bother going beyond that to see if there is a
