Wendy · Post by **Wendy** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 11:02 pm

Hi all, I have a new found relative in New Zealand that uses Legacy for her family tree info and has no idea how to send it to me...I use Family tree maker and make pdf Files for specific family branches to send to family but know nothing about Legacy...Any help would be appreciated..She is sending by snail mail and I guess when I know there is so much info coming would love to get my hands on it quicker..so any and all help would be very awesome...Thanks for reading this

Have a great evening
Wendy

Maybe missing a point ! Why cant Legacy make a gedcom file and attach it to an e mail. On receipt can then be downloaded into FTW .

Wendy and Col

Legacy does export and import Gedcom Files.

Wendy

Click on Help-Search for help on- and then enter the name Gedcom. You'll find information on creating, importing and exporting Gedcom files.

Kind regards

Sorry was not clear my reference to " Legacy " was to the person sending it not the program ! All genealogy programs have this facility . Indeed the " Who am I ? " BBC2 series was based on the gedcom philosophy using the British " Family Historian " program which is totally gedcom orientated . Godd - but a trifle complex to navigate .

Thanks Catriona and Col for all the info ....I will send Jenny info on a Gedcom file , I knew it could be sent but didn't know what to tell her as I have never used Legacy before and just simply didn't know what import/ export functions it may or may not have.

Once again many Thanks
Wendy
