Re: [LegacyUG] Is this a proper gedcom file

When were you asked this?  When you were importing it into Legacy, or something else? If you're importing it into Legacy, I can't see that there's any harm in saying 'no' and seeing what happens - at worst, it doesn't work and you have to start again.  Make sure you are importing it into a

I am still trying to do this and I am now asked " is this a multiple disk gedcom file ". I don't know the answer so do I say yes or no or have to go back to the not so helpful owner ? Cheers from Valerie Garton [nee Vaughan] in sunny Sydney -Original Message- From: LegacyUserGroup

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

Sure, but then I don't get the fact that YY was XXs Goodfather or the other way around. I want it to say under XX: that XXs Goodfather was YY and under YY: that YY was the Goodfather of XX Nothing more or less. If I use the Event control buttons I can say I don't want it there, but then all

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

I gave up on shared events because Legacy add words to the sentence that I don't want to have there. Whenever I try to use it Legacy it adds words. An example I add my Goodfather and whatever I do Legacy always adds something. I woould like to read XX was yys Goodfather or XXs Goodfather was yy,

Re: [LegacyUG] Is this a proper gedcom file

GEDCOM files are plain text, so you can open them in any word processor or notepad program, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, or Windows Notepad. The first few lines will look something like this one, which I created from Legacy: 0 HEAD 1 SOUR Legacy 2 VERS 9.0 2 NAME Legacy (R) 2

Re: [LegacyUG] Copy an event

Assigning an event to others is sharing an event. You seem to think you have no control over the sentences used in a shared event but that's not true. You can edit those sentences as well. You just have to dig a little deeper to find the add/edit roles. It's probably easier from the Master
