Thanks for sharing that, Sherry; that was new to me and is definitely very useful; I like how it tells if the information was "imported" as well. Kathy On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Sherry/Support wrote: > In the Family File, the date an individual is added and/or modified is > stored in the

In the Family File, the date an individual is added and/or modified is stored in the database. Click on the date in the lower right corner of the Legacy window to bring those dates up if you want to see them. When you import a gedcom into Legacy, you have created a new file and consequently all i

Tim-  I believe what Sherry means is something like this happens: Say you enter your grandfather on January 1, 1995. You also enter several other people on the dates of January 2, 1995, January 3, 1995. You are using Legacy. You make a Gedcom of your family file, perhaps to share with a cousin, or

I use dropbox to share files as well and generally have been very happy with it. But, have you had any problems with tags transferring? I created some new tags to identify a few folks my home computer but when I opened my file on the netbook, the tags weren't there. On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 3:42

Kathy, In addition to what Jim has described, you can: Copy your .fdb file to a jump drive, then paste it into the Legacy/Data directory on your netbook.  Or (and this is what I've done for over a year now; it is a perfect solution IMO), install Dropbox on both computers and it will automatica

Another idea is to store your working file in Dropbox (download for free); then when you turn on your netbook and it connects to the internet, any updated files will be transferred to your netbook automatically. If you don't already have it, let me know and I'll send you a link. If you sign up via

Rich, A gedcom will change all SourceWriter sources to a standard style source For that reason, I recommend gedcoms only as an absolute last resort if you're not sharing data with someone with a different genealogy program. You would also lose dates added and modified, history and bookmarks

I don't work with netbook, but if your zipped' did not grab 100%, then you need to do a gedcom  instead. Is netbook large enough to hold the Legacy program and the data, with photos, and whatever else is also there. especially if you have multiple copies of any file or backup on it. I never zip
